Chapter 661: Hiding in the Toilet

In Duel Monsters, it's generally understood that while a monster's Level doesn't absolutely determine its strength, higher-Level monsters are usually more powerful.

However, there is one such monster that not only has 0 ATK and DEF and the lowest Level of 1☆, but is also famous for its powerful and unique Effect, even becoming a symbol of NTR at one point. Even after the variety of Duel Monsters cards grew to over ten thousand, that monster remains the sole 1☆ Ritual Monster.

That is—

"【Little White Rabbit】's Level is 1☆, so I will Ritual Summon this Level 1☆ Ritual Monster from my Hand with the Effect of 【Advanced Ritual Art】!" Dartz played a card that surprised Hayato. "Come out!"

"Relinquished!"

From Dartz's Duel Disk appeared a small rabbit that was cute in appearance but had a DEF that surpassed all others, hopping around quite lively.

But in the next instant, a sharp tentacle suddenly rose from beneath it, piercing its body. A large amount of black mud surged from the wound, enveloping the body of 【Little White Rabbit】.

After the black mud receded, a monster quite familiar to Hayato appeared on Dartz's Field.

Relinquished【1☆/Dark】

【Spellcaster Type/Ritual/Effect】

【0/0】

Its ATK and DEF are actually 0! How terrifying!

"Why is Pegasus's card in your Hand, Dartz?" Looking at Relinquished, which he and Yugi had teamed up to defeat before, being Summoned by Dartz, Hayato said with some apprehension.

Dartz just smiled calmly. "Do you remember who was acting with you at Industrial Illusions, Hayato?"

Hayato frowned. "Rafael?"

With Dartz mentioning it, Hayato also realized. Previously, to prevent Pegasus, the "Father of Duel Monsters," from creating troublesome cards under the guidance of Spirits, Dartz specifically arranged for the Doma Three Swordsmen to eliminate Pegasus. However, although Pegasus was eliminated, Kaiba obtained the cards Pegasus left behind from Pegasus's Castle and gave them to Yugi to use. As a result, that action was a failure.

The one who eliminated Pegasus at that time was none other than Hayato himself. Then, coincidentally, after sealing Pegasus's Soul, Hayato met Yugi and Joey Wheeler, and a Duel unfolded on the top floor of the Industrial Illusions Headquarters Building.

Because of the rush, Hayato at that time didn't even have time to display his usual virtue of diligence and frugality before having to Duel Yugi and Joey Wheeler. He didn't have time to swipe... I mean, keep Pegasus's cherished Deck for him.

After the Duel, the Industrial Illusions Headquarters Building even collapsed due to the destruction caused by the Materialized Card Monsters during the Duel. Pegasus's body was taken away by the "Legendary Dragon" that Yugi and Joey Wheeler awakened at the time, and Hayato also had no opportunity to recover the cards.

Thinking about it this way, the sole person at that time who didn't intervene in the Duel but was watching the battle, and who didn't yet know the truth of his family's death and was full of loyalty to Dartz, Rafael, had sufficient motivation and time to take Pegasus's Deck. Dartz most likely obtained the monster born from the darkness of Pegasus's 【Millennium Eye】 from Rafael's Hand.

"You actually took someone else's cards without permission. You have no dignity as a Duelist, Dartz!" Looking at Dartz, who was using Pegasus's Relinquished as if it were a matter of course, Hayato sternly rebuked him.

Dartz was also stunned by Hayato's words and showed a rather helpless expression. "Hayato, you are the sole one who has no qualification to say that to me. Didn't I learn this from you? As a loser, there's nothing wrong with me taking Pegasus's Deck to use."

"If Pegasus's Deck was taken by you, I naturally wouldn't have any opinion." As Hayato spoke, he pointed a thumb at himself. "But the one who defeated Pegasus was me, which means that's no longer Pegasus's Deck, but my cards!"

"To actually steal my cards to deal with me, it's unforgivable, Dartz!"

Even though Dartz had lived for ten thousand years, it was the first time he had seen such shameless remarks from Hayato. He helplessly changed the subject back to the Duel. "Although I cannot Enter Battle Phase, that doesn't mean I will leave the ABC-Dragon Buster on your Field, which can banish a card only once per Turn, until the next Turn."

"I activate the Effect of Relinquished. You should be very clear about its Effect, Hayato." As Dartz spoke, he pointed his finger at the ABC-Dragon Buster in Defense Position on Hayato's Field. "Once per turn, select one monster on the Opponent's Field as the sole Equip Card for Relinquished. Relinquished's ATK/DEF increase by the corresponding value of that monster's Original ATK/DEF."

"Don't resist, join me, Hayato!"

Following Dartz's words, the Relinquished that had mutated from 【Little White Rabbit】 twisted its revolting and disgusting single eye, aimed at ABC-Dragon Buster, and released a strange purple radiance, trying to absorb it into its body.

Hayato noticed that the Effect of the Relinquished Dartz was using seemed different from the Relinquished Pegasus used. Perhaps it was because Pegasus's Relinquished was enhanced by the 【Millennium Eye】. His Relinquished not only had no restriction on the Number of Monsters it could equip, the ATK/DEF it gained after absorbing a monster was not the Original ATK/DEF, and it could even gain the Effect of the Equip Monster.

In a sense, the Anime Version of 【Destiny HERO - Plasma】 that Hayato used before was a "homage" to the Relinquished under Pegasus's control. Perhaps Aster's father actually liked "creating fun with heart"?

In short, Dartz's Relinquished's Effect was almost the Real Card Version, far inferior to Pegasus's version. However, even so, Hayato had no plan to just give his monster to him, mainly because the expression on that guy's face when he activated Relinquished's Effect was too much like a creep.

"But I refuse. I'm a Pure Love Faction guy, I never liked playing NTR." Glancing at the ABC-Dragon Buster on his Field that was about to be sucked in by Relinquished, Hayato said, "Let me sing you a song, Dartz!"

"A-Assault Core, B-Buster Drake, C-Crush Wyvern stack ABC-Dragon Buster, hiding in the toilet!"

Humming a tune with no skill but full of feelings, Hayato decisively ordered: "During the Opponent's Turn, I Tribute ABC-Dragon Buster on my Field, and Target the three types of Machine Type, LIGHT Attribute Union Monsters I have banished, and Special Summon those monsters!"

"Special Summon my banished A-Assault Core, B-Buster Drake, and C-Crush Wyvern!"

Chaining to the Effect of Relinquished, the body of ABC-Dragon Buster suddenly disintegrated, dodging the fate of being absorbed. It reassembled into three monsters on Hayato's Field.

These were exactly the three Fusion Materials that were banished earlier to Fusion Summon ABC-Dragon Buster.

A-Assault Core【ATK1900】

B-Buster Drake【ATK1500】

C-Crush Wyvern【ATK1200】

"Relinquished's Effect requires Targeting a monster first before it can be activated. After ABC-Dragon Buster was Tributed, the Target disappeared, causing the Effect's resolution to stop," Hayato said proudly with his hands on his hips. "From me, your Relinquished won't be able to take away even one monster, Dartz!"

Looking at the three monsters that suddenly appeared on Hayato's Field again, Dartz wasn't disappointed that his Relinquished didn't absorb any monsters. Instead, he said calmly, "As expected of you, Hayato. You are indeed not an opponent who can be defeated easily."

"In that case, I have no choice but to Set one card from my Hand and End Turn."

Saying this, Dartz Set the card in his Hand.

【Dartz: 4000LP, Hand 0】

Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands【ATK1400】

Relinquished【ATK0】

【Set Card】

Dartz thought that since he had declared the End Turn, Hayato would naturally activate one of the two Set Cards in his Spell/Trap Zone, Emergency Provisions, to Send his Nightmare's Mirage on the Field to the Graveyard, if Hayato didn't want to Send all the cards in his Hand to the Graveyard due to the Negative Effect of Nightmare's Mirage.

But what Dartz didn't expect was that Hayato actually had no intention of activating his Set Cards. Holding the three cards in his Hand, he was about to draw a card.

You know, last Turn, when Hayato drew a card because of Nightmare's Mirage, he didn't have a single card in his Hand and drew four cards in one go. Although replenishing his Hand felt great, this also meant that Hayato had to discard four cards in one go during his Standby Phase this Turn.

And Hayato currently only has three cards in his Hand, which means the card he draws this Turn cannot even be kept until the Main Phase and will be Sent to the Graveyard along with the other cards in his Hand.

"My Turn."

"Draw!" Under Dartz's confused gaze, Hayato placed his finger on his Deck, drew a card, and added it to his Hand. Then, only at this moment, Hayato activated the Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. "And the instant my Draw Phase ends, I activate this Set Quick-Play Spell Card, Overload Fusion!"

"Return the Fusion Material Monsters determined by a Fusion Monster from my Field and banished monsters to the Deck, and Special Summon one monster that uses Cyber Dragon as Fusion Material from my Fusion Deck!"

"Cyber Dragon?!" Dartz looked confusedly at the three monsters on Hayato's Field, not seeing Cyber Dragon. Furthermore, he didn't remember Hayato ever using this card, Cyber Dragon, or banishing it.

Without Cyber Dragon, logically speaking, Overload Fusion should be impossible to activate. But Dartz personally saw the Set Card in Hayato's Spell/Trap Zone flip up, showing the Card Art of Overload Fusion.

"You must be wondering now where exactly I got Cyber Dragon, Dartz?" Hayato said proudly. "Being so careful, I wonder if you noticed my Life Points?"

Hearing this, Dartz followed Hayato's finger pointing upwards and looked at the Virtual Scoreboard appearing above his head. The Life Points displayed on it dropped by a full half in an instant.

【Hayato: 4000→2000LP】

"Chaining to Overload Fusion, I also activated this card." The second card in Hayato's Spell/Trap Zone flipped up. It was surprisingly also a Quick-Play Spell Card, but it wasn't the Emergency Provisions Dartz had guessed. It was actually Cyberload Fusion Support?!

"By paying half of my Life Points to activate this Turn, only once when I Fusion Summon a Machine Type Fusion Monster, I can select the Fusion Material determined by that Fusion Monster from my Hand, Field, or Graveyard and banish them from play, using those monsters as Fusion Material!"

As Hayato spoke, he took out two more cards from his Graveyard Zone. "Besides the three monsters on my Field, A-Assault Core, B-Buster Drake, and C-Crush Wyvern, I will also banish ABC-Dragon Buster in the Graveyard and this Cyber Dragon as Fusion Material!"

"When was that?!" Eyes widened, Dartz looked unexpectedly at one of the cards Hayato took out. It was surprisingly the starting point and core of the "Cyber Style" --- Cyber Dragon. Dartz suddenly remembered that last Turn, in order to activate the Effect of ABC-Dragon Buster and banish his own Ritual Summoned 【Gishki Zielgigas】, Hayato had discarded a card. "Was it the card discarded from his Hand at that time?"

But Cyber Dragon was a card Hayato only drew with the Effect of Nightmare's Mirage during Dartz's Standby Phase, after his own Turn ended. However, Overload Fusion and Cyberload Fusion Support were cards Hayato Set before the Turn ended.

"Was this also part of your plan, Hayato!"

"Of course it is! If I can't even draw the card I want to draw, what kind of Duelist am I?" Including the three Machine Type monsters on his Field, Hayato banished all five cards in one go. "Hehehe, don't blink, Dartz. This is the last monster you'll see!"

"The perfect and elegant strongest Dragonmaid, descend before me by combining the power of five monsters!"

"Chimeratech Overdragon!"

Bathed in a welding-like radiance, a tall Giant Machine Dragon appeared behind Hayato. The eyes of its five machine dragon heads lit up with blue radiance, and its silver-white body stood tall on the Earth. Just the aftermath of its appearance instantly destroyed the Ojama Country and Hayato's Nightmare's Mirage in the Back Row.

"Since Chimeratech Overdragon is a silver-white Machine Dragon with blue eyes, abbreviated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it is naturally also a Dragon. If it were gender-bent, it would naturally also be a Dragonmaid."

Hayato, who insisted his Deck was a "Pure" Dragonmaid Deck, said this. At the same time, the value of the appearing Chimeratech Overdragon was also displayed before Dartz's eyes.

Chimeratech Overdragon【9☆/Dark】

【Machine Type/Fusion/Effect】

【4000/4000】

Thanks to the 100 points tip from "Violent Warrior". Thank you.

A simple Yu-Gi-Oh! Card knowledge quiz: Since the Quick-Play Spell Card Nightmare's Mirage was Sent to the Graveyard by the Chimeratech Overdragon Special Summoned by Hayato in the Draw Phase, does Hayato still need to Discard Hand?
