The Protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World May Be the Same Person

"Noah, you bastard—!"

He clenched his fists in anger.

"Calm down, Kaiba. You should leave this to me."

Yugi quickly held back the President.

"That's right, the opponent I've chosen now is Yugi, so it's not your turn to appear yet, Seto. You don't want anything to happen to your little brother, do you?"

Noah threatened the President.

"O-nore..."

The President finally released his fists.

"Hmph! Yugi! If you lose to this guy Noah, I absolutely will not forgive you!"

He could only entrust it to Yugi now.

"Don't worry, Kaiba, I will definitely help you rescue Mokuba."

With that said, Yugi stepped forward to face Noah.

The next Duel was about to begin.

Chapter 44: Five Set Cards, Please Advise!

"The Deck Master I choose is [Kuriboh]."

This time, Yugi didn't choose Dark Magician Girl again. After all, Noah was still so confident after watching Yugi's Duel, which meant he might target Yugi's graveyard. Thus, he chose Kuriboh, which had a life-saving effect.

After the two chose their Deck Masters, the Duel officially began.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yugi Muto: LP4000]

[Seto Noah: LP4000]

Yugi drew a card first.

"I'm going first, draw!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 5 → 6]

"What a perfect hand..."

As he said this, Yugi picked up five cards from his hand and inserted them into his Duel Disk one by one.

"First, I'll set five cards."

[Yugi Muto Hand: 6 → 1]

Then, five dark, set cards appeared beneath Yugi's feet.

Yugi: "Five Set Cards, please advise!"

King: "..."

President: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Noah: "Is it too late for me to restart this game..."

Yugi's opening move was so intense that Noah was completely flustered.

It was a pity that given Noah's pride, he wouldn't say such a shameful thing and could only brace himself.

Afterward, Yugi placed the last card in his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"Next, I'll summon [Dark Knight Gaia the Fierce Wind] from my hand."

"If you have only this 1 card in your hand, you can summon this card without Tribute."

Accompanied by a flash of light, a red, dual-gun-wielding knight riding a purple warhorse was projected onto Yugi's field.

[Yugi Muto Hand: 1 → 0]

"Whoa! Yugi summoned an Advanced Monster so easily!"

Jonouchi behind him exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmph! A strategy prepared with a large number of set cards, how simple and easy to understand."

Although the President disliked this gloomy playstyle, he wouldn't care what methods Yugi used to save his brother.

Next, Yugi flipped over one of the set cards on his back row.

"I'll activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] and draw two cards from my Deck."

[Yugi Muto Hand: 0 → 2]

After drawing cards this time, Yugi didn't set any more.

"And with that, my turn ends."

Yugi ended his turn with clean, decisive moves.

This kind of stall-heavy playstyle made even the King, watching from the side, cover his face. He almost felt sorry for Noah.

"Tch, what a disgusting way to play..."

Noah grumbled as he drew a card.

"My turn!"

[Noah's Hand: 5 → 6]

Noah first placed a card from his hand onto his Duel Disk.

"I summon [Chiron the Sage]."

A centaur holding a staff was projected onto the field.

[Chiron the Sage: ATK 1800]

[Noah's Hand: 6 → 5]

"A [Chiron the Sage] with the effect to destroy Spell and Trap Cards!? Then I can't let you keep it..."

Yugi quickly pressed a button and revealed one of his face-down cards.

"At this moment, I activate the Trap Card [Hole of Illusions]."

This card can be activated when an opponent summons, flips, or Special Summons a monster with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and banish those monsters with 1500 or more ATK.

Chiron was instantly sucked into a hole that suddenly appeared.

"Just playing dirty tricks..."

Noah's previous composure had completely vanished.

"But it's not enough against my 'World Creation' Deck."

He then inserted another card from his hand into his Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card [Ground Collapse]."

Destroy the monster with the lowest ATK on the opponent's field.

[Noah's Hand: 5 → 4]

At this moment, Yugi immediately revealed his next face-down card.

"It's useless. I discard one card from my hand as the cost to activate the Counter Trap [Magic Jammer]."

When a Spell Card is activated, you can activate this card by discarding 1 card from your hand. Negate the activation and destroy it.

[Yugi Muto's Hand: 2 → 1]

"Damn it..."

Noah's Spell Card instantly shattered.

"It's not over yet. The chain reaction isn't finished."

With that said, Yugi placed his last card from his hand onto his Duel Disk.

"If the activation of a card controlled by the opponent is negated by a Counter Trap, [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] can be Special Summoned from the hand."

Amidst flashes of lightning, a dark crimson dragon descended onto Yugi's field.

[Pluto Dragon Judgment God: ATK 2800]

An illustration is available here. You can view it after updating.

[Yugi Muto's Hand: 1 → 0]

"Summoning a high-level monster so easily again!? Yugi Muto, you're too despicable!"

Noah cursed angrily.

"Uh, this is part of Duel, too. Cursing me won't help..."

Yugi scratched his cheek with his finger.

"Tsk!"

Noah knew this, of course, but his rhythm had been broken, and he was just annoyed. He couldn't play the Duel according to his original plan anymore.

"Hmph, let's continue..."

Just as Noah was about to make his next move...

"Wait a moment. [Pluto Dragon Judgment God]'s effect hasn't been resolved yet. When this monster is successfully Special Summoned by its own effect, it activates an effect based on the type of card negated."

Yugi immediately interrupted him.

"What!? It has an effect too?"

Noah felt even more frustrated.

"That's right. Since the card I negated just now was a Spell Card, according to [Pluto Dragon Judgment God]'s effect, I will inflict 1500 damage to you."

The Pluto Dragon Judgment God unleashed a lightning bolt at Noah, striking him.

"Ngh--! Damn it!"

Noah's Life Points dropped by nearly half.

[Noah Kaiba: LP 4000 → 2500]

"If that's the case, I'll defeat you with all my might."

With that, he picked up three cards from his hand.

"First, I'll set two cards, then activate the Spell Card [Ice Age Chaos]. If there are no monsters on my field, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower EARTH monster from my Deck."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 4 → 1]

The surroundings transformed into a landscape covered in ice and snow. The order of the so-called "World Creation" had been disrupted.

"Come forth, [Rock Giant]!"

With a flash of light, a giant made of rock appeared before Noah.

[Rock Giant: Defense 2000]

"And with that, my turn ends."

He finally concluded his turn.

Chapter 45: Miracle Ark

"My turn, draw!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 0 → 1]

"This card is..."

After glancing at the five cards he had drawn, Yugi inserted it into his Duel Disk without hesitation.

"I'll set one card, then attack!"
