# Chapter 680: Although It's Not Written on the Card, This Card Can Be Special Summoned
Instead of subconsciously replying, "Thirteen slices, I'm a Japanese food eater," Hayato looked at Marik with a slightly strange expression, unable to understand why the guy was so agitated, acting as if he were some kind of good person.
Although he didn't know what Camus the Vampire's usual style was like, judging by his action of casually sucking the Blood of the Flight Attendant held as a Hostage just now, he simply treated Humans as moving food. Marik's reply, "Would you remember how many slices of Bread you've eaten?" further confirmed this.
However, how much better was Marik? The mere fact that he killed his own Father showed that he wasn't a good person. After founding the Rare Hunters, in order to test and unleash the Power of the God Cards as much as possible, he even printed pirated copies of The Winged Dragon of Ra and used his Subordinates as Tributes to endure Divine Punishment.
But then Hayato thought about it again and understood why Marik was so agitated. It was simply because seeing Camus use other people's Souls as Substitutes to bear the Punishment of the Dark Game reminded him of how his own Dark Personality had thrown him out as a Decoy during Battle City.
In that case, it was understandable.
Looking at the Front Row, which had become empty due to the 【幻魔之門】's Effect, and the powerful 【狱火机-提耶拉】 that had come to his Field also due to 【幻魔之門】's Effect, Camus smiled proudly: "Without a doubt, I now hold the Future of Victory in my Hand. That Card in your Back Row is the one you Recycled earlier with Laundry Dragonmaid Conflict, right?"
"Heh heh, what a Pity. That Card can only be used after the End Phase of your Next Turn, right? That means, without any Cards to protect you, my Direct Attack is next!"
"Enter Battle Phase! And although it doesn't have the Ability to Inflict Damage, I will use this The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, which originally belonged to you, to Attack you!"
"Super Ultimate Solar Impact!"
A malicious smile appeared on Camus's face as he waved his hand and Ordered.
In a Regular Duel using KaibaCorp's Virtual Projection System, the Impact felt by the Duelist usually depended on the amount of Damage. Monsters with higher ATK could cause greater Impact and even shatter the Duel Platform. However, with Cards with Card Spirit Power and Dark Game, it was a different set of Rules.
A Monster's ATK was no longer the main factor determining the amount of Damage. Instead, things like the Card's inherent "Status" were more important. For example, Relinquished, despite being Level 1☆ and having only 0 ATK, caused Damage in the Dark Game Pegasus activated back then that almost knocked Hayato and Yugi unconscious.
And The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, although its Information didn't quite match the The Winged Dragon of Ra Camus remembered collecting, its Divine-Beast Attribute couldn't be faked. A Monster of this Level, even with 0 ATK, would be enough for Hayato to have a hard time if it Direct Attacked him.
But the premise was that The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode actually obeyed Camus's Order and Attacked Hayato.
Camus's Attack Declaration had been made for a while, but the golden Dome hanging high in the Sky seemed not to have heard his Instruction, showing no movement for a long time, which made Camus quite Confused. Could it be that it didn't react because he didn't know the correct Attack Name for this Card?
"Don't be discouraged, one in five men experiences this. It's normal to not be able to perform well when you get older."
Hayato's teasing made Camus realize even more clearly that his inability to Attack with The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode had nothing to do with him: "Why is this? Why can't this Monster Attack you?"
"Would you ask the Sun why it shines?" Hayato raised his hand and pointed a Finger at the Sun Disc in the Sky. "The reason you can't Attack me with The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode is, of course, because of the Bond between me and The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, which makes it refuse to harm me!"
This was a Lie.
Hayato was purely bluffing Camus by relying on the fact that the Text written on The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode Card was Ancient Egyptian Hieratic Text, which Camus didn't recognize.
Although Hayato had gone on a frenzy of drawing Cards after Battle City in order to Draw a Card Horakhty, the Creator of Light, and then Shipwreck after drawing a bunch of Support Cards for the Three Egyptian Gods, the The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode Card he was using now wasn't drawn at that time. It was a split-off form that The Winged Dragon of Ra itself had voluntarily split off from before the Battle City duel with Kaiba, not wanting to be removed from Hayato's Deck.
Moreover, after that, the Spirit of The Winged Dragon of Ra's True Form seemed to have been Transfered to The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode Card as well, and it went to the Spirit World with Hayato during the "Pyramid of Light" Incident. Thus, it used the The Winged Dragon of Ra Card that didn't have Spirit Power dwelling in it as a Substitute, and incidentally escaped the fate of having its Power absorbed by Orichalcos God.
As a Card that split off from The Winged Dragon of Ra, The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode had its Name, Attribute, etc., written in regular text, but only the Effect Description Area on the Card was blank, just like The Winged Dragon of Ra. The details of its Ability written in Ancient Egyptian Hieratic Text would only appear after it was Summoned.
This kind of Text was quite Special, so Special that Hayato knew no more than ten people who could interpret it, including Kaiba, Yugi, Grandpa Solomon , Ishizu, Marik, and Hayato himself, only these six people. Even Pegasus, the creator of the Card, couldn't interpret this Text.
Among the only six people, only Marik and Ishizu were Egyptians; the other four had no connection to Egypt whatsoever. And putting aside Grandpa Solomon , who had traveled to ancient ruins all over the world back then, Hayato, Yugi, and Kaiba hadn't learned even a single bit of Egyptian Text, yet they could understand the long-lost Ancient Egyptian Hieratic Text without a teacher, even though they couldn't understand modern Egyptian Text.
Hayato couldn't quite remember the specific Principle, but he was certain that Camus the Vampire definitely couldn't understand the Effect on the Card, so he could naturally start Rule Bending without any hesitation.
If Marik, who was standing on the side of the Field at this moment, were to examine the Text on the Card closely, he could interpret the following Information:
[This Card cannot be Special Summoned. If this Card is Normal Summoned, you must Tribute three monsters you control to Summon it to your Field, or Tribute three monsters your opponent controls to Summon it to your Opponent's Field. Control of this Summoned Card returns to its Original Owner during the End Phase of the next turn.
①: This Card Cannot Attack, and Cannot be targeted by opponent's attacks/effects.
②: Can activate by Tributing this card. Special Summon one The Winged Dragon of Ra from your Hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning Conditions, and its ATK/DEF become 4000.]
'Although it's not written on this Card, this Card has that kind of Effect'.jpg
Camus wasn't sure if what Hayato said was true or false. The situation on the Field was indeed as Hayato said; The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode refused to Attack him. But Camus's Intuition always felt that this guy, who was full of nonsense, was lying to him. Yet, he couldn't produce any Evidence, and he couldn't understand what the scribbled Text on The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode Card meant.
But it didn't matter. It was just one Monster that couldn't Attack. Didn't he have another Monster on his Field? That was 【狱火机-提耶拉】, which he had taken from Hayato's Graveyard!
"In that case, I'll use this Monster to Attack! 【狱火机-提耶拉】, strike down your Master!"
"Super Ultimate Flame Impact!"
"That naming is a bit too bad, isn't it? It's basically just one word different from the made-up Attack Name for The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode just now!" Marik offered a timely Rant. "Compared to such a perfunctory Attack Name, I'd rather accept Brother-in-law's messy naming."
"Well, I'm truly touched, Marik, but let me correct you again, I'm not your Brother-in-law."
Hayato said this while watching the giant beast with a lion's head and snake's body—【狱火机·提耶拉】—looking down at him with its eyes shrouded in Dark Aura from above. The two Spheres in its hands were about to smash down, but his face showed a calm and collected Expression: "You want to use my Monster to deal with me? Heh heh, what great Authority you have, but you're twenty thousand years too early!"
"At this Instant, the Effect of Rainbow Kuriboh in my Graveyard Activates!"
That's right. Among the three Cards sent to the Graveyard from the top of Hayato's Deck by 【狱火机·提耶拉】's second Effect, besides Graceful Charity and Laundry Dragonmaid Conflict which Recycled a Card, the third Card was Hayato's invincible Aibo, the eternal god Rainbow Kuriboh!
Now *that's* what you call true Tamashii (tactical lean back).
Facing the Attack that 【狱火机·提耶拉】 was about to Activate, a rainbow-like ribbon flew out from Hayato's Duel Disk Zone, wrapping around Hayato and transforming into a Wall of Light. When the two black and white Spheres in 【狱火机·提耶拉】's hands, containing powerful Power that Surpassed Blue-Eyes White Dragon, smashed down, they couldn't shake this Wall of Light even slightly, as if all misfortune was rejected outside the light wall at this Instant!
"Kuri Kuri~" Looking at Rainbow Kuriboh floating in front of him, supporting the Wall of Light, Hayato covered his face with one hand and laughed loudly from within the light wall, "See, Camus? The Card Spirit likes me, Hayato Kobayashi! Even for a mere bit of Damage, you won't have the Opportunity to harm me!"
"When Rainbow Kuriboh exists in the Graveyard, when an opponent's monster declares a Direct Attack, I Activate her Effect. I Special Summon Rainbow Kuriboh from my Graveyard, and then Rainbow Kuriboh Special Summoned by this Effect is Banished when it leaves the Field."
[Rainbow Kuriboh] [DEF100]
A mere 100 DEF was so weak, like the Wall of Light that seemed easily broken, but it was precisely this mere 100 DEF that blocked 【狱火机·提耶拉】's Attack. Even Infinite Power would be blocked by this Defense.
However, this Defense could only appear for an Instant. As Rainbow Kuriboh's Figure Dispersed, the Wall of Light around Hayato shattered.
"Even in such an absolutely isolated and helpless Situation, a Spirit would appear?" Camus, being a Supernatural Race Vampire, naturally also sensed the Spirit dwelling in the Rainbow Kuriboh Card. The feeling of his Attack being thwarted was very Annoyed. He said through gritted teeth, "You won't be so lucky Next Turn, Hayato Kobayashi. I Change The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode to Defense Position, then End Turn."
Camus had only drawn Phantasm Gate this Turn. After using it, he had no Cards in Hand. He couldn't make any Field Setup in Main Phase 2 after the Battle Phase ended. And because he was unclear about The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode's Effect, he felt he couldn't let this Small Fry Monster with 0 ATK that Cannot Attack become Hayato's Opening to Defeat him, so he Changed it to Defense Position to avoid receiving a High Attack Power Direct Attack.
"Next Turn? No, you don't have a Next Turn, Camus."
However, to Camus's surprise, the moment he declared the End Turn, Hayato raised his hand and pointed a Finger to the Sky: "Grandma said that as long as I Hope, Destiny will absolutely be on my side, and the Radiance of the Sun is the same."
"Come back to my side, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
As Hayato's words fell, Camus couldn't help but widen his eyes, because he saw The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, which was hanging high on his Field and couldn't be commanded at all like a deaf person, actually twinkled twice after hearing Hayato's call and eagerly ran to Hayato's Field, as if it had been waiting impatiently!
"Control of The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode returns to its Original Owner during the End Phase of the next turn after it is successfully Summoned." Hayato didn't explain this Effect to Camus. Instead, he caught the The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode Card that materialized out of thin air in his Hand and said, "Now, I hold the Future in my Hand."
[Camus: 4000LP, Hand 0]
[【狱火机·提耶拉】] [ATK3400]
"Tsk, after eating my three monsters, it ran back again? Is it treating the Duel like a buffet?!" Camus looked at the golden Sphere on Hayato's Field, Annoyed, and gave a Cold Snort. "Hmph, but so what? A mere Small Fry Monster, could it possibly make any waves?"
Camus's Life Points were still the original 4000 Points, and he was protected by 【狱火机·提耶拉】, which he had taken from Hayato's Hand. He couldn't imagine how he could lose.
"Is that so? Then open your eyes and watch closely, Camus. This is the Struggle I make for Victory." Hayato said, Drawing a Card from his Deck. He didn't play it, but instead pointed his hand towards The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode above his head.
"The stage I promised you is ready. Although it's just a small role, don't worry about it. Let's fully Display your Radiance and mine, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"I Tribute The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, and then I Special Summon The Winged Dragon of Ra from my Deck!"
"The preamble is too long, I'll just skip it. I'm too lazy to read the Hieratic Text too. Come forth, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
Amidst Marik's Rant, "He didn't even get Divine Punishment for this, his Backstage is really strong," Camus saw The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode begin to change form. Its golden Wings extended, and the Ring symbolizing the Sun Disc's Authority moved behind it. The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, which was originally just a Small Fry Monster, transformed into the form that could truly prove the Title of "Divine-Beast"—The Winged Dragon of Ra!
[The Winged Dragon of Ra] [Level 10☆/Divine-Beast]
[Divine-Beast Type/Effect]
[?/？→4000/4000]
"The Winged Dragon of Ra that changed from Sphere Mode will have its ATK/DEF change to 4000 Points." Hayato paused, and under Camus's Confused Line of Sight, he spread his arms.
The next moment, Camus saw Hayato actually fly up out of nowhere to the position above The Winged Dragon of Ra's head, half of his Body merging into the Sun God's Interior.
"Using The Winged Dragon of Ra's Special Effect, I can Merge with her. By Paying Life Points until 1, The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK/DEF gain ATK equal to the LP paid." Hayato said, pointing his hand at Camus on the Ground below him. "The favor of the Card Spirit, the Resolve to Sacrifice, and Kami's Power!"
"Now, I am stronger! And now, receive the Divine Power from Kami, you Vampire who doesn't even have the Qualification to hide in the Shadows!"
"Surfer Attack!"
[Hayato: 7600→1LP]
In just an Instant, the high Life Points Hayato had gained earlier by Tributing 【狱火机·提耶拉】 became 1 Point, and this Power was fully absorbed by The Winged Dragon of Ra, which was connected to him. Its ATK, which was already equivalent to Obelisk the Tormentor, surged again!
[The Winged Dragon of Ra] [ATK4000→11599]
Watching the Winged Dragon, emitting sacred Radiance, spew out golden Sun's Fire that burned everything towards him, Camus widened his eyes: "Impossible! How could a mere Card Spirit have this level of Power!"
"My Ambition to revive the Vampire Race! I—"
"Boom!"
Hayato had no intention of listening to Camus's Dying Words. The Divine Fire fell, instantly burning away Camus's Life Points. Also Destroyed along with it was the shameful Traitor 【狱火机·提耶拉】 in his Deck.
(Tierra: Maybe you should recall how you sent me to the Graveyard?)
[Camus: 4000LP→0]
As expected, in the face of The Winged Dragon of Ra's Power, Camus's Life Points instantly went to Zero. The moment Hayato achieved Duel Victory, the Domain of the Dark Game he had activated Dissipated, and Hayato, Marik, and Camus, who was defeated and on the ground, returned to the Airplane Cabin.
Instead of subconsciously replying, "Thirteen slices, I'm a Japanese food eater," Hayato looked at Marik with a slightly strange expression, unable to understand why the guy was so agitated, acting as if he were some kind of good person.
Although he didn't know what Camus the Vampire's usual style was like, judging by his action of casually sucking the Blood of the Flight Attendant held as a Hostage just now, he simply treated Humans as moving food.
