Chapter 493: See this Pot of Greed? *Slap*, it's Forbidden.
"As expected, words won't convince this guy," Yusei Fudo frowned, looking up at the flying Paradox. "We can't understand each other."
"Sacrificing the present for the future, what kind of Hero is that?" Judai was also quite indignant.
Hayato nodded. "When you want to become a Hero, you've actually already lost the qualification to be one."
"In that case, let's defeat him with a Duel," Yugi's Millennium Puzzle on his chest lit up. Turning his head, Yugi looked at the others. "Everyone, let's go together!"
"Oh!" X3
Facing Paradox, who intended to destroy the World, the four individuals from different times stood in a line. Hayato, Yugi, and Judai raised their Duel Disks overhead and activated them. Although his own Duel Disk didn't have an activation function, Yusei Fudo also raised his Duel Disk overhead to fit in.
Yugi handed the lead over to the Pharaoh within the Millennium Puzzle. Although Yusei Fudo didn't have his Stardust Dragon by his side for the moment, the Red Dragon "Ultimaya Tzolkin" was there as a substitute. Yubel, behind Judai, spread its winged arms and wrapped them around its chest.
Meanwhile, Hayato reached up and smoothed his hair. His usually understated hairstyle stood up like it was slicked back with gel. The Millennium Ring and Millennium Rod resonated with each other, emitting golden light. Releasing a Spirit to look cool was completely unnecessary; Hayato's own Aura was already high enough.
"Nothing is impossible for the Pharaoh's Duel on the ground. All things are in my hands!"
"Duel!" X5

"Even you, Legendary Duelists whose names are recorded in history, have no chance of winning against my Deck, which gathers the strongest Cards from every Era," Paradox said, looking down on them, and drew five Cards into his Hand. "My Life Points are four times yours, and the Rules of the Duel are Rotation System."
"Now, I'll take the First Turn! Draw!"
As Paradox spoke, he drew a Card, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. "First, I will take you to the World of Sin! Activate Field Spell Card, Malefic World!"
As Paradox placed a Card in the Field Zone, a beam of black lightning surged from his Duel Disk, quickly spreading and covering the Aircraft beneath his feet.
Following this, relying on the several Signal Emitter-like devices that extended from Paradox's Vehicle, the "Shinri-go," in Duel Mode, the black lightning spread throughout the "Shinri-go" was fired towards various corners of the Deserted Plaza where the four stood.
The pinkish-purple portals, like Space, that had appeared when Paradox Time Traveled before, appeared at the points struck by the black lightning. They spread out and connected with each other, transferring the five people present into a fantastical World.
"Malefic World..." the Pharaoh's brow furrowed. "It's just a Field Spell Card, yet this ominous feeling is..."
"Duel Monsters that destroyed the World are undoubtedly existences that carry the Sin of Human. The Malefic Deck I'm using is the best proof of this," Paradox raised the Duel Disk on his hand. "To be against me is, in a sense, to be against the history of Duel Monsters, a history full of Sin."
"While Malefic World exists on the Field, I can forgo drawing a Card during each Draw Phase and instead Add a random Malefic Card from my Deck to my Hand."
Paradox proudly raised his head, wanting to hear the exclamations of the people before him, whom he considered "Ancient People."
The characteristic of the Malefic Deck he used was that it could Send Powerful Monsters that originally required certain Conditions to Summon directly to the Graveyard, in order to Special Summon Malefic Monsters that had completely identical Combat Power and even inherited their special Abilities.
For example, to Summon Cyber End Dragon through conventional means, you needed to Assemble three Cyber Dragon as Fusion Material and also a Polymerization Card. However, the Malefic Cyber End Dragon he created after taking Cyber End Dragon only required Sending the Cyber End Dragon from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard to be Special Summoned directly.
Summoning a Powerful Monster with 4000 ATK and Piercing Battle Damage without even using a Normal Summon slot was practically Invincible.
However, Paradox also remembered an ancient proverb that had been passed down for a long time: "Powerful Cards often come with Risk." The Flaw of Malefic Monsters, which had such simple Summoning Conditions, was that without Malefic World present, Malefic Monsters would Self-Destruct. Additionally, their Special Summon could only Send the Original Monster from the "Deck" to the Graveyard.
Thinking of this, Paradox glanced dismissively at the Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his Hand and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon he had taken from an old man named "Solomon Muto" from a future relative to the current Era.
Awkwardly, Paradox had accidentally fallen into a situation called a "bricked hand." He had only collected one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and if it was accidentally drawn into his Hand, the Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon became useless paper. He didn't know if it was his own Luck or a problem with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon itself.
Speaking of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon held by Solomon Muto, whose Card Paradox had taken, was in a Damaged state and originally couldn't be used for Duel Monsters. However, because Paradox had developed his own Card Transfer Technology specifically to take Powerful Monsters, he successfully Transferred the originally Damaged Blue-Eyes White Dragon into a normal Card.
However, Paradox waited for a long time but didn't hear any sounds of astonishment from the people below.
It wasn't that no one was talking, it was just—
"Huh? Is that all?" Judai scratched his head, confused. "Isn't there a more troublesome effect later? Like, if your Monster attacks a Monster with higher ATK, it can Increase its ATK by 1000 Points or something?"
"Although it's called Malefic World, the name sounds cool and the effects look cool, but the effect is useless," Hayato also spread his hands, looking like he didn't take Malefic World seriously.
"You guys don't know anything!?" Paradox wished he could grab their Collars and explain in detail how important Malefic World was to the Malefic Deck. Just guaranteeing that he wouldn't brick his Hand next was already very useful, okay?
But before he could explain, Hayato's words dealt him a fatal blow.
"Drawing a random Card, and it also restricts you from drawing Cards other than Malefic Cards. It sounds useless. After all, shouldn't a True Duelist be able to Draw whatever they want?"
Mutou Rule Bending Yugi: "Indeed."
Yuki Divine Draw Judai: "Exactly."
Fudo Card Printing Yusei Fudo: "Right, right, right."
"Why are these Ancient People so arrogant?" Paradox's Mood became increasingly Annoyed. He gave a Cold Snort, too lazy to talk to them further, and continued his Turn.
"Although it's useless paper for now, it's not completely useless. I prepared this Card in my Deck precisely because I considered this situation might occur," Paradox inserted a Card into the Spell & Trap Zone. "Activate Normal Spell Card, Trade-In! Discard a Level 8 Monster from my Hand, then Draw two Cards from my Deck."
"I will discard the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Hand, then Draw."
"It's Kaiba's Blue-Eyes!?" Yugi was quite shocked that Paradox had Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his Hand. He had forgotten about it because it hadn't been brought up again, but now Yugi also remembered that among the Solid Vision Monsters that had attacked the Duel Monsters Tournament Venue half an hour ago, there was a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"That's right. I told you, my Deck gathers the strongest Duel Monsters Cards from every Era. Although Blue-Eyes White Dragon is, frankly, just a Normal Monster with 3000 ATK, it did exist as the strongest presence in the history of Duel Monsters during a certain period."
"In that case, of course, I wouldn't miss the opportunity to acquire it. Naturally, I also Defeated the guy who stood in my way."
Paradox didn't Clarify Yugi's misunderstanding. After all, one was snatching a Blue-Eyes that was torn in half from a powerless old man, and the other was taking the precious Ace Card from the historically famous Legendary Duelist "Kaiba Seto." The latter was clearly more impressive.
Besides, he wasn't lying. He did Defeat that old man who stood in his way. As for Mutou Yuugi and the others understanding "the guy who stood in my way" as "Kaiba Seto," that was their own problem.
"I didn't expect that in the future, even Kaiba..." Yugi's Expression became quite Serious. "It seems I must be careful, otherwise, I might repeat Kaiba's fate."
But at the same time, another Question arose for Yugi: "The Discard Cost plus the Cards drawn, and it's specifically restricted to discarding a Level 8 Monster. In the end, you only Draw two Cards."
"It's not as efficient for Milling as Graceful Charity, and Drawing Cards isn't as worthwhile as Pot of Greed. Just like that Field Spell Card Malefic World, it's a meaningless Card."
This time, Paradox didn't need to say anything. Judai, standing next to Yugi, spoke up to explain for him: "No, of course, it would be better to use Cards like Graceful Charity and Pot of Greed if possible, but it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't."
"Although I'm not quite sure what the Forbidden & Limited List of the future is like, Pot of Greed was already a Limited Card when I was in school, and in the second semester of Duel Academy, it was directly locked away in the Forbidden Card List."
"In my Era, there was a watered-down version of Graceful Charity called Cards from the Sky, which became Draw two, discard one. But Cards like Graceful Charity and Pot of Greed have been Forbidden for decades."
Yusei Fudo also explained the situation in the future. "Although Duel Disks allow the use of these two Cards, because they are out of production, the newest ones are Antiques from decades ago, all kept in Private Collections."
Using Antique Cards to Duel is no different from using a centuries-old Antique bowl to hold a Meal. It's overly luxurious, and no one would do something that doesn't cherish their Cards.
However, in this Era, it seems there are a large number of Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity Cards circulating on the market. As Yusei Fudo thought about it, his eyes lit up. If he brought back some "Souvenirs" when he returned...
"Then I Draw two Cards." Paradox didn't pay too much attention to Yugi and the others' communication. He drew two Cards on his own, and seeing the Cards he drew, he couldn't help but show a Proud smile.
"Now, I will Send the Cyber End Dragon from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard," The purple Cyber End Dragon was pushed into the Graveyard by Paradox. Behind him, the Figure of Cyber End Dragon, the Ultimate Technique of the Cyber Style, appeared.
"He actually gave up his Old Friend Cyber End Dragon right at the Opening Hand," Hayato raised an eyebrow. "And, he Sent it to the Graveyard instead of Banishing it. It looks like things will be a bit troublesome next."
"Come forth, Malefic Cyber End Dragon!"
Along with Paradox's loud shout, several black lightning bolts gathered around Cyber End Dragon, creating several pieces of Pitch-Black Armor out of thin air. Ignoring the struggling Cyber End Dragon, they roughly encased its surface.
Then, black lightning overflowed, covering Cyber End Dragon's entire body. The Eye Monitors lit up in Cyber End Dragon's three heads were extinguished. But in the next moment, all six eyes lit up with scarlet radiance.

"Madamada! I will also Send the Ultimate Crystal God - Rainbow Dragon from my Deck to the Graveyard! My second Malefic Monster, Malefic Rainbow Dragon!"
Just like with Cyber End Dragon, Paradox Sent the Ultimate Crystal God - Rainbow Dragon he Searched from his Deck to the Graveyard. And next to Malefic Cyber End Dragon, Malefic Rainbow Dragon appeared in the same manner.

"Johan and Kaiser's Cards! And, they've all been dyed black, even their Attribute has become DARK Attribute!" Judai's eyes widened, looking at the two Monsters before him that Paradox had taken from his Friends and whose Appearance had been remodeled beyond recognition.
"Their ATK and DEF are also the same as the original Monsters. In that case, maybe even their Effects..."
The sharp-eyed Yugi, although far away, still managed to glimpse the ATK/DEF Values on the Cyber End Dragon and Ultimate Crystal God - Rainbow Dragon Cards. They were equal to the two Monsters before him.
Although he couldn't see the Effects of the two Monsters that were Sent to the Graveyard because Paradox's movements were quite swift, Yugi, associating it with a certain person, guessed that these two Malefic Monsters likely also inherited the Effects of the original Monsters.
At the same time, Yugi Mutou within the Millennium Puzzle couldn't help but Rant to Dark Yugi outside: "Taking other people's Monsters, remodeling them into a similar but different state, and not even changing their Effects and ATK/DEF."
"Why do I suddenly feel that Paradox's Goal of killing Pegasus isn't simple? Does he really just want to Change the future, or does he feel that his and Pegasus's Styles of Duel Monsters clash?"
"Could it be that after his Malefic Monsters are Destroyed, he'll take out other 'True Ace Cards' or something, just like how Pegasus would take out Relinquished after his Toon Monsters were Countered?"
"As expected, words won't convince this guy," Yusei Fudo frowned, looking up at the flying Paradox. "We can't understand each other."
"Sacrificing the present for the future, what kind of Hero is that?" Judai was also quite indignant.
Hayato nodded. "When you want to become a Hero, you've actually already lost the qualification to be one."
