Chapter 329: Adding the Deck to the Hand
Ignoring Gozaburo, Hayato continued to play cards from his hand: "I Activate the Spell Card Terraforming, I can add one Field Spell Card from my Deck to my hand. I choose Magical City Endymion, and at the same time, place one Spell Counter on Royal Magical Library."
"Then, I Activate Magical City Endymion, and at the same time, place a second Spell Counter on Royal Magical Library."
"Hmph, it's just a futile effort." Gozaburo still didn't think Hayato had any way to defeat his invincible Exodia Necross. Although Necrovalley was replaced by Magical City Endymion, Gozaburo, who had already removed the threatening cards beforehand, wasn't worried at all that Hayato would touch the five Exodia pieces in his Graveyard.
"Magical City Endymion, like Royal Magical Library, is a card from the Spell Counter New Series recently released by Industrial Illusions. Not only does it fail to provide boosts to Monsters like other Field Spell Cards, its effect is merely removing Spell Counters once per Turn to protect a monster."
Yugi looked worriedly at Hayato's side, where the surrounding environment had been replaced again due to the activation of the Field Spell Card. "Hayato, how can he defeat that Exodia?"
"I Activate the Spell Card Pot of Greed, I Draw two cards from my Deck. Then, because Royal Magical Library already has three Spell Counters on it, I will remove them and Draw one more card."
"Spell Card Double Summon, I can perform a second Normal Summon this Turn. I Summon in Defense Position a second Royal Magical Library."
"Magical City Endymion already has three Spell Counters on it, I will remove them to Activate the Effect of Royal Magical Library, and Draw one more card."
"Spell Card Terraforming, I add a second Magical City Endymion to my hand, then I Activate it. At the same time, I remove the three Spell Counters on Royal Magical Library and Draw one card!"
Even Gozaburo couldn't help but frown, seeing Hayato Activate the Effect of Royal Magical Library to Draw cards again and again.
When Hayato Activated Double Summon just now, he thought Hayato was planning to Tribute the two Monsters on the Field to Summon some troublesome High-Level Monster. But he didn't expect that Hayato would just Summon a second Royal Magical Library.
The Spell Counters on the two Royal Magical Library cards on the Field continuously increased as Hayato frantically Activated various Spell Cards. Once they reached three, Hayato would immediately remove them to draw cards from his Deck.
As Hayato frantically cycled through his Deck, his Deck visibly became much thinner, and it continued to decrease.
"Although I don't know what you're doing, it's useless no matter how many cards you Draw. Even if you could Summon Slifer the Sky Dragon, whose ATK increases based on the number of cards in your Hand, you still wouldn't be able to defeat the Exodia Necross on my Field," Gozaburo said.
"I Activate the Spell Card Pot of Greed!"
"Spell Card Goblin Thief!"
"The Effect of Royal Magical Library itself!"
"Spell Card Graceful Charity!"
"The Effect of Royal Magical Library itself!"
"Spell Card Magical Mallet!"
"Spell Card Spell Power Grasp!"
"The Effect of Royal Magical Library itself!"
Watching Hayato's Deck size plummet from 40 cards at the start to only the last three remaining, what Hayato held in his hand was less a hand and more his entire Deck.
"You, don't you know that the Hand limit is at most six cards? If you exceed that, you have to Discard during the End Phase?" Gozaburo's voice sank.
His Life Points were raised to 5000 due to the Effect of the three Goblin Thief cards Hayato Activated, but watching Hayato's performance of "adding his Deck to his hand," he constantly felt a sense of ominous premonition.
Looking at the Exodia Necross on his Field, Gozaburo still couldn't figure out where this ominous premonition was coming from.
Although he wasn't using his real body at the moment, after performing such a long combo, Hayato couldn't help but feel a bit parched. He shook his wrist, which was sore from the mechanical repetition of Drawing cards, and looked at the stern-faced Gozaburo, saying with a smile, "Wow, I've been performing this combo for quite a while, haven't I? Now my Deck finally only has the last three cards left."
"At the beginning, I felt my hand was pretty good and my setup went smoothly, but it somehow dragged on until the last three cards. Should I say I'm lucky or unlucky?"
"So, Gozaburo, would you like to guess what my last three cards are?"
"You, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hearing Gozaburo's words, Hayato's mouth curved into a smile: "Nothing much. Since you're not interested in guessing, let's change the question—how many ways are there to win a Duel Monsters Duel?"
"Your opponent's Life Points are reduced to zero, their Deck is empty and they cannot Draw cards, and there are cards like Spirit Board, Final Countdown, and other cards that change the Win Conditions. And besides those, the strongest one is this, right?"
"I Activate the Spell Card Graceful Charity, I Draw three cards from my Deck, then I Discard two cards from my Hand!"
As Hayato Drew the last three cards from his Deck, he barely thought before casually picking two cards from his Hand and sending them to the Graveyard. Suddenly, a brilliant light erupted from his Hand.
Just like when Gozaburo previously Activated Contract with Exodia, five golden orbs of light flew up from Hayato's Hand, forming a magnificent Magic Circle in mid-air.
Under Gozaburo's disbelieving gaze, a truly terrifyingly powerful, the strongest Duel Monster in the true sense, emerged from the Magic Circle. It didn't seem to do anything, yet merely the presence it carried upon appearing on the Field caused the Exodia Necross on Gozaburo's Field to instantly disperse, like a shadow meeting the scorching sun.
"Exo... dia," Kaiba looked at the Ultimate Monster on Hayato's Field, which had broken free from its Chains and was condensing an orb of light in its hand. His mouth curved upwards, revealing a smile that no one else noticed. "The one who buried my past self was Exodia. I didn't expect that the one who would bury Gozaburo would also be Exodia, did I?"
"Go, Exodia, little fist pound the chest!"
Shouting a seemingly nonsensical Attack name, Exodia, Commanded by Hayato, unleashed the attack from its hand.
The Power of Infinity instantly engulfed Gozaburo.
Ignoring Gozaburo, Hayato continued to play cards from his hand: "I Activate the Spell Card Terraforming, I can add one Field Spell Card from my Deck to my hand. I choose Magical City Endymion, and at the same time, place one Spell Counter on Royal Magical Library."
