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

The card Yugi drew this time was one the King was very familiar with.

"Mmm, that's right, Other Me," he replied.

As he spoke, Yugi inserted the card into his Duel Disk.

"I activate the Magic Card, Swords of Revealing Light, to seal your attacks for three turns!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 3 → 2]

Several swords of light instantly appeared around Noah.

"It's Swords of Revealing Light..."

Noah was surprised, unsure of Yugi's reasoning for activating the card at this moment.

But he would soon find out.

Yugi then placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"I'll also summon Red Gear from my hand, and after a successful summon, I'll add one Yellow Gear from my Deck to my hand."

After a flash of light, a red gear robot was projected.

[Red Gear: ATK 1300]

At the same time, Yugi took out his Deck and retrieved the Yellow Gear.

Since Yugi was using a Heavy Trap Deck, he definitely wouldn't be short on the three-colored gears that provided excellent card advantage.

"Another Gear monster..."

After watching Yugi's duel against the Great Five Elders, Noah knew all too well how troublesome the three-colored gears could be.

Combined with Swords of Revealing Light, Yugi's field would continuously gain monsters. The two monsters Noah currently had in his Ark wouldn't be enough to stop him, and he suddenly felt pressured.

"My turn ends."

After shuffling his Deck, Yugi concluded his turn.

Chapter 50: Heavenly King Shina-do

"My turn!"

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 3 → 4]

"This card..."

After looking at the card he drew this turn, Noah decided to go all out. After all, with Swords of Revealing Light suppressing him, time was of the essence.

He placed the card down, then picked up another card from his hand and inserted it into his Duel Disk, saying, "I activate the Magic Card, Great Flood! All monsters on both sides of the field and in our hands are sent to the Graveyard."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 4 → 3]

A massive flood instantly surged behind Noah, rushing towards Yugi and the others.

With such a wide-ranging field-clearing effect, Yugi had no choice but to activate his Set card.

He quickly pressed a button.

"I discard Yellow Gear as the cost to activate the Counter Trap, Magic Jammer, negating the activation of Great Flood and destroying it!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 2 → 1]

After the Counter Trap was activated, the surrounding floodwaters vanished.

After that, Yugi made no further moves.

"Huh!?"

After waiting for a while and seeing Yugi make no play, Noah grew confused.

"Huh? Why isn't Yugi summoning Pluto Dragon Judgment God?"

"Who knows..."

Jonouchi and President Kaiba also couldn't understand Yugi's choice.

The King, however, knew Yugi's situation and asked him with some concern, "AIBO, isn't this a bit risky...?"

Yugi shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, with Swords of Revealing Light active, Noah can't attack easily. And even if things get desperate, there's still the protection of the Deck Master."

As he spoke, Yugi looked towards Kuriboh, who had been hidden for several chapters.

"Kuri~ Kuri~"

Although Kuriboh couldn't hear their conversation, seeing Yugi's expression, it seemed he had finally remembered its existence as a mascot. It excitedly let out a cute sound.

After some more time passed and Yugi still showed no reaction, Noah no longer hesitated. After all, the only Trap that could affect his Magic Cards was gone.

He inserted the card he drew this turn into his Duel Disk and said, "I activate the Magic Card, Gifts of the Angels! I draw three cards from my Deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 3 → 5]

Noah quickly glanced at his hand and promptly chose two cards to send to the Graveyard.

"I discard two Monster Cards, Thunder King and Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Snake."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 5 → 3]

He then raised his right hand and continued, "And I activate the Deck Master ability of [Miracle Ark] again, life recovery. The monsters currently housed within the Ark total five, so I will recover 2500 Life Points."

The monsters within the Ark were completely cleared out.

[Noah Kaiba: LP 2700 → 5200]

"It's about time I show you the true form of [Miracle Ark]. I summon my Deck Master!"

The Ark behind Noah moved forward a distance, coming to rest in front of him.

"The true form of [Miracle Ark]!? Could it be..."

Yugi thought of the monsters summoned via ritual in the actual card game using [Miracle Ark].

At this moment, Noah drew another card.

"I activate the third Spell Card, [Black Hole]. All monsters on the field are destroyed."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 3 → 2]

A black hole instantly appeared between the two of them, and the Ark, along with the two monsters on Yugi's field, were sucked in.

"Impossible, Noah dares to destroy his own Deck Master..."

Jonouchi said in disbelief.

Soon, all the monsters were swallowed by the black hole, but just as the black hole was about to disappear, a towering figure appeared there.

"Hmph, just as I expected."

President Kaiba had already guessed Noah had another plan.

"Hahahaha! Yugi. This is the true form of the Deck Master [Miracle Ark] after activating its ultimate special ability. This is truly my Deck Master's true form, [Heavenly King Shina-do]."

And so, Noah's Deck Master was replaced.

[Heavenly King Shina-do: ATK 3300]

"It really is him..."

Seeing the six-winged angel descend behind Noah confirmed Yugi's earlier guess.

Immediately after, Noah floated into the air, reaching the height of Shina-do's chest.

"As the creator, I shall become an omniscient and omnipotent god..."

His body merged into Shina-do.

"An ATK of 3300, higher than [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]... However, this means Noah's Deck Master has lost its housing ability. If it's destroyed, Noah loses completely..."

At this point, the King of Games subconsciously glanced at the face-down card at Yugi's feet and his hand, then realized something and his eyes widened.

"Souka! AIBO didn't summon [Pluto Dragon Judgment God] not only to avoid the effect of [Black Hole], but also to use its other effect..."

If Noah were to set a Trap Card, Yugi would have a chance to turn things around.

At this moment, Noah's voice came from within Shina-do.

"I don't have any cards that can deal with [Swords of Revealing Light] right now, so I can't attack this turn. I dodged a bullet there, Yugi."

He then inserted another card into his Duel Disk.

"I'll set one card..."

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 2 → 1]

"And I'll summon [Mermaid Princess] again. I'll end my turn like this."

The newly summoned Mermaid Princess immediately returned to Noah's hand.

[Noah Kaiba: LP 5200 → 5700]

Chapter 51: The Cheating Deck Master Effect

"My turn, draw!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 1 → 2]

Without hesitation, Yugi inserted the card he just drew into his Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] to Special Summon [Dark Knight Gaia the Fierce Wind] from the Graveyard in Defense Position."

Gaia reappeared before Yugi.

[Dark Knight Gaia the Fierce Wind: DEF 2100]

[Yugi Muto Hand: 2 → 1]

At this moment, Noah's smug voice came from Shina-do.

"Hmph, useless, Yugi! When [Heavenly King Shina-do] destroys an opponent's monster in Defense Position, it inflicts half of the damage to the opponent's Life Points."

"Furthermore, the ability of [Heavenly King Shina-do] as a Deck Master is to recover Life Points equal to the damage dealt to the opponent."

"In other words, your shield is useless to me, hahahaha..."

However, Yugi ignored his words.

"I end my turn."

Yugi ended his turn again.

"This isn't good! Yugi doesn't have any cards that can defeat such a terrifying monster right now..."

Jonouchi clutched his head worriedly.

"Tch, out of options already!? Yugi!"

President Kaiba was somewhat displeased with Yugi's hesitant actions.

"My turn!"

[Noah Kaiba Hand: 1 → 2]

Noah didn't look at the card he just drew. Instead, he first pressed the button on his Duel Disk, revealing his Set card, and said, "I activate the Trap Card [Seed of Fate]. The turn count for one card advances by one turn."

"This way, [Swords of Revealing Light] will only have one turn left. The effect that blocks attacks will completely disappear once I declare the end of this turn."

"By next turn, your monsters will face the judgment of [Heavenly King Shina-do]..."

Hearing this, Yugi couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm sorry, Noah. You can't do that anymore..."

As he spoke, Yugi tapped his Set card.

"I was waiting for the moment you activated a Trap Card to activate the Counter Trap [Seven Tools of the Bandit]!"

When a Trap Card is activated, you must pay 1000 Life Points to activate it. The activation is negated and the card is destroyed.

[Yugi Muto: LP 2600 → 1600]

Before Noah could react, the Trap Card beneath his feet instantly shattered.

This kid forgot his lesson again.

"Forgetting AIBO's Set cards is never a good thing..."

The King sighed and shook his head.
