Chapter 517: You Are Also Light?
Even though Hayato had gradually adapted to this world, sometimes he couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of this Dueling world.
For example, the blond man who moments ago seemed completely unwilling to communicate and only wanted to settle things with his fists—or perhaps, for now, call him "Anubis"—actually quieted down after Hayato initiated the Dark Game.
Not only did he instantly understand how to use the Duel Disk, an item he shouldn't have encountered before, after just one look, and strap it onto his wrist, but cards even appeared out of thin air in the Duel Disk's Deck Zone.
Dueling, isn't it amazing?
"Settle... Ceremony of the Duel..." In the world of the Dark Game, Anubis still seemed to be adapting to his vocal cords, but he had improved significantly compared to before, now able to speak simple words.
"Hoho, now that's more like it. It wouldn't be any fun if you were defeated by me so easily." Hayato reached out and drew a card from his Duel Disk. "Now, tremble before my invincible Deck!"
"The first turn is mine, Draw!"
After drawing a card, Hayato immediately activated the drawn card on the Field: "Activate the Magic Card, Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my Deck, then choose two cards from my Hand and discard them. Then, because one of the cards I discarded was Ojama Magic, I add Ojama Black, Ojama Green, and Ojama Yellow from my Deck to my Hand."
While using Graceful Charity to refresh his hand, Hayato took the opportunity to activate the effect of Ojama Magic. A large curtain appeared on his Field, and the three-colored Ojama Monsters jumped out from behind the curtain—
"Ojama Black, invincible in battle!"
"Ojama Green, unstoppable!"
"Ojama Yellow, full firepower!"
However, despite their impressive aura, Ojama Yellow and the others were still Small Fry, and they were only added to Hayato's Hand.
Holding the three Ojama Monster Cards he had just searched, Hayato revealed another card: "Next, Activate the Magic Card, Polymerization! I use the three Ojama Monsters I just searched from my Hand as Fusion Material!"
"Gathered Small Fry will evolve into the King among Small Fry, the King-level Small Fry!"
"Fusion Summon, Ojama King!"
Under the power of Polymerization, the three brothers, Ojama Yellow and the others, put their three heads together and spun around. The yellow, green, and black colors intertwined, finally turning white. The gigantic Ojama King, resembling a peeled egg, appeared on Hayato's Field.
[Ojama King] [DEF 3000]
Although Ojama King is a Fusion of three Ojama Monsters, its basic attributes are simply the sum of the three brothers. Its DEF increased to 3000 because it's a Fusion of three monsters with 1000 DEF each, clearly a big butt capable of withstanding Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack. However, its ATK is only 0 because none of the three monsters have any battle capability.
"As long as Ojama King exists on the Field in face-up position, I can choose up to three of your Monster Zone and make them unusable." Hayato watched as Ojama King casually threw out three stamps, placing them on Anubis's Front Row, summoning Ojama Yellow and the other two to occupy the Field.
"Excuse us~"
"We're terribly sorry~"
"But we won't apologize~"
The three mischievous Ojama brothers lay on beach chairs, posing as if sunbathing, and said lazily. Their effect of provoking others was overwhelmingly powerful.
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn, so I Attack Position Summon V-Tiger Jet, and activate the Continuous Spell Card, Frontline Base! Once per turn, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Union Monster from my Hand. I Special Summon W-Wing Catapult!"
"I have two Level 4 monsters! I must immediately Overlay V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult!"
"I Banish V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult from my Field, and Special Summon VW-Tiger Catapult from my Extra Deck!"
Following Ojama King, Hayato summoned another Fusion Monster at the cost of reducing his hand size to two cards. However, calling it a Fusion, it was simply V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult stacking on top of each other like a human pyramid—a literal "Overlay".
[VW-Tiger Catapult] [ATK 2000]
"Madamada, my field setup hasn't reached its limit yet." Hayato showed a card from his hand. "I activate this Magic Card, Ojama Mega Transformation! I reveal one Machine Type, LIGHT Attribute Fusion Monster from my Fusion Deck, banish any number of Ojama Monsters from my Hand, Field, or Graveyard, then Special Summon the Fusion Material listed on that Fusion Monster from my Deck, Hand, or Graveyard, equal to the number banished!"
Hearing this, Ojama Yellow, sitting on Anubis's Field, suddenly sat up: "This effect!"
"Although they are Small Fry, they still have great usefulness." Hayato reached out and took the cards for Ojama Yellow, Ojama Black, and Ojama Green, stuffing them into his pocket. He then slapped the three cards he searched from his Deck onto his Duel Disk. "I banish the three Small Fry from my Graveyard, and Special Summon all three Fusion Material required for XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
"Come forth, X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, and Z-Metal Tank!"
"And now, the Special Summon of XYZ! I banish X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, and Z-Metal Tank from my Field, and Special Summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon from my Extra Deck!"
The classic red, blue, and yellow colored Machines appeared on Hayato's Field through the effect of Ojama Mega Transformation. Just like V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult before, the three monsters also stacked on top of each other like a human pyramid. Z-Metal Tank served as the legs, X-Head Cannon as the head, and Y-Dragon Head as the "Dragon Head".
[XYZ-Dragon Cannon] [ATK 2800]
With the appearance of XYZ-Dragon Cannon, Hayato had summoned a total of three Fusion Monsters to his Field in a single turn. Not only did he have Ojama King to lock the Front Row positions, but he also simultaneously assembled VW and XYZ, two monsters from the same series.
"Don't blink now! I will banish VW-Tiger Catapult and XYZ-Dragon Cannon from the Field!" Hayato banished the necessary material he had assembled on the Field, holding a card above his head.
"Limiter Removal, Level 8, Main Bass Booster Control, all clear! Infinite power, now unleashed here, charge towards the other side of dimensions!"
"Go! Accel Fusion! Come On!"
"VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!!"
The machines on Hayato's Field began to disassemble and transform. The five machines connected and resonated with each other, constructing a towering mechanical giant. Cannons, lasers, wings, giant hammers—it was like a mobile war fortress!
[VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon] [ATK 3000]
After summoning VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon, Hayato then activated the effect of a card in his Graveyard: "The second effect of Ojama Mega Transformation is, I banish this card from my Graveyard, then target the three banished Ojama Monsters, return them to the Deck and shuffle, then draw a card."
"Finally, I Set two cards from my hand and End Turn."
[Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 0]
[Ojama King] [DEF 3000]
[VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon] [ATK 3000]
[Frontline Base] [Set Card] x2
The reason he didn't continue his field setup was mainly because Hayato felt he needed to probe for some information about the opponent's Deck before continuing the battle.
Regarding Anubis's "revival," he suddenly remembered that such a plot point existed. When Anubis knocked everyone unconscious, he had just realized it himself and only had enough time to use the Millennium Ring to slightly stabilize his thoughts and prevent them from sinking into silence.
After regaining consciousness, Hayato immediately got up, wanting to stop Anubis from obtaining the Pyramid of Light. However, he was slightly late; Anubis had already obtained the Pyramid of Light and had even "taken form."
If Anubis were to leave like this, it was highly possible that the plot Hayato remembered would repeat itself. If possible, Hayato wanted to avoid trouble, which led to the current situation where he stopped Anubis for a Dark Game.
However, when choosing the Deck to use for the Duel, Hayato hesitated slightly because he was slow to remember that his impression of the "Pyramid of Light" incident was based on the card Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, but he had no clear memory of what cards Anubis, the final boss, had used.
After all, that guy's total screen time in the "Pyramid of Light" incident didn't even exceed ten minutes, less than even Pegasus, who was beaten badly and had his cards stolen at the beginning. As a boss, he really had no status, unlike Paradox, who just recently perished but will forever be remembered as the bravest boss in Yu-Gi-Oh! history.
The more crucial point was that Paradox had his exclusive Sin Deck, but that guy Anubis had kicked Kaiba aside mid-Duel with Yugi and used Kaiba's Deck to Duel Yugi, only using a few weak monster cards whose names Hayato couldn't even remember.
Something like a Sphinx and a Pyramid of Light; in short, they were all cards of unclear significance.
Because Hayato somewhat remembered that the Pyramid of Light card, although he didn't know the specific principle, could strongly counter the Three Egyptian Gods, he specifically didn't bring The Winged Dragon of Ra and the others. But it was impossible for the opponent's Deck to only have these three cards. Since the opponent's identity was unknown, Hayato adopted a relatively conservative field setup.
Locking the Monster Zone was to restrict the opponent's explosive setup. VWXYZ was a clear target, and he had two traps in the Spell/Trap Zone. Hayato thought to himself that this lineup was completely sufficient for probing.
"My... Turn..." It was Anubis's turn. He looked at the monsters on Hayato's Field, drew a card with a look of disdain, "Draw!"
"Then, Magic Card... Activate! Dark Hole!"
"Huh? Dark Hole!"
Under Hayato's stunned gaze, Anubis slapped an invincible Dark Hole onto the Duel Disk. A black point appeared out of thin air in the center of both players' Fields, and the surrounding light also dimmed, as if being absorbed.
"The effect of Dark Hole is to destroy... all monsters on the Field, but... there are no monsters on my Field." Anubis's speech gradually became more fluent, and he looked at Hayato proudly. "This way, your Field... is empty..."
As soon as the Dark Hole with indiscriminate destruction effect appeared, almost in an instant, the two monsters Hayato had painstakingly summoned last turn were all captured by gravity and pulled into the Dark Hole.
Whether it was Ojama King or VWXYZ, they were destroyed without any resistance in an instant. At the same time, with Ojama King's departure, Anubis's locked Field was also freed from its restriction.
"What happened?"
"No way!"
"My great brain cannot disappear!"
The three Ojama Monsters struggled, but they only followed the same path as Hayato's other monsters, being swallowed by the Dark Hole and disappearing. As the monsters were destroyed, Hayato noticed that the Pyramid of Light Anubis was wearing on his chest flashed with red light.
Anubis looked completely relaxed: "That's right, this feeling!"
"'Can you speak normally now?' You're thinking that right now, aren't you, kid?"
And just as Anubis began speaking normally, Hayato heard a voice coming from his Deck:
"Ugh! My body—"
"Black, what's wrong with you!"
"I... I don't feel good!"
The figures of the three Ojama brothers appeared beside Hayato, but compared to before, their condition had visibly worsened. They were so transparent they were almost invisible.
Hayato instantly understood. Who else could be behind this situation? He stared at Anubis, who looked pleased.
Being stared at by Hayato, Anubis acted as if he didn't even see Hayato as a threat: "Hmph, no need to guess, I did it. Rather, it's their honor that such low-quality spirits can be used by me to 'exchange' power."
As he spoke, Anubis reached out and stroked the Pyramid of Light on his chest. "Even experiencing this power with a second life, I have to say that I am indeed the King chosen by Destiny. As long as I carry out destruction without restraint, I can usher in the future."
"Embracing the 'Light' back then was truly a correct decision, hahaha!"
"Light?" Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but carefully observe the Pyramid of Light that Anubis was holding up. The more he looked, the more he felt a familiar aura. He had definitely encountered it somewhere before.
Destiny HERO - Plasma, Yubel...
"Holy crap, Light of Destruction?!" Hayato's eyes widened as he looked at the Pyramid of Light.
Even though Hayato had gradually adapted to this world, sometimes he couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of this Dueling world.
For example, the blond man who moments ago seemed completely unwilling to communicate and only wanted to settle things with his fists—or perhaps, for now, call him "Anubis"—actually quieted down after Hayato initiated the Dark Game.
Not only did he instantly understand how to use the Duel Disk, an item he shouldn't have encountered before, after just one look, and strap it onto his wrist, but cards even appeared out of thin air in the Duel Disk's Deck Zone.

"Settle... Ceremony of the Duel..." In the world of the Dark Game, Anubis still seemed to be adapting to his vocal cords, but he had improved significantly compared to before, now able to speak simple words.
"Hoho, now that's more like it. It wouldn't be any fun if you were defeated by me so easily." Hayato reached out and drew a card from his Duel Disk. "Now, tremble before my invincible Deck!"
