"Because of the effect of [Slipstream Summon], [Apostle of Ra] will return to my Hand." Hayato retrieved the monster from the Field, then, under the unsurprised gazes of the others present, pressed the button to activate a Set Card. "Next is the Quick-Play Spell Card [Emergency Provisions], sending [Nightmare's Mirage] on my Field to the Graveyard to regain 1000 Life Points."

"Brother-in-law is back down to two monsters, the number of Tributes isn't enough." Marik raised an eyebrow. "But as long as you Special Summon a monster somehow, you can still Summon [Ra], right?"
"Unfortunately, no, Marik. Because of the effect of [Apostle of Ra] on my Field, as long as it exists and I don't use its effect, I can't Special Summon monsters. And it itself has a Restriction that it can only be Tributed for the Tribute Summon of the Three Egyptian Gods Cards." Hayato spread his hands, said helplessly,
"In other words, either I gather three Tributes to Summon a God, or until [Apostle of Ra] is destroyed, I won't be able to perform any other Special Summon, whether it's Fusion, Ritual, or anything else."
Funny Valentine heard this and couldn't help but show a proud expression: "Huh? That monster has too many useless effects, and its ATK is so low, isn't it just a Small Fry?"
Hayato glanced at Valentine, gave a cold smile and didn't bother saying anything to him. His finger rested on the Top of Deck, drawing a Card. "My Turn, Draw. Since [Nightmare's Mirage] has left my Field, I don't need to discard my Hand."
"If Special Summon is restricted, you can't gather Tributes? In that case, why not just take the Opponent's monster?" Hayato revealed the Card he drew from his Hand. "Let me witness my favorite Card as the Pure Love War God, the Spell Card Change of Heart!"
A pink beam shot out from the Change of Heart Hayato Activated, shining on the [Volcanic Blade] on Exodia's Field, forming a pink heart mark on its abdomen. Under the effect of Change of Heart, [Volcanic Blade] left Exodia's Field and completely came under Hayato's control.
"Hmm, quite Pure Love," Tristan commented.
Exodia watched his monster being taken by Hayato, pondered for a moment, then immediately pressed the button to activate a Set Card: "In that case, chaining to your Change of Heart, I activate the Set Card on my Back Row, the Continuous Trap Card Blaze Accelerator Reload!"
"As long as it remains in the Spell & Trap Zone, its Card Name is treated as Blaze Accelerator Tri-Cluster. Exodia said, then sent the Card from his Hand to the Graveyard. "And now I will use its effect, which can only be activated during either player's Main Phase: Send one "Volcanic" Card from my Hand to the Graveyard, then Draw a Card from my Deck."
As [Volcanic Blade] left the field, a Device resembling an anti-aircraft missile launcher rose on Exodia's Field. After Exodia sent a card from his Hand to the Graveyard, the three cannon barrels on it began to gather light.
"First [Volcanic Blade], then Blaze Accelerator Reload. At first, I wasn't entirely sure, but now it seems it's indeed a "Volcanic" Deck," Pegasus said with some certainty, watching Exodia draw a Card.
""Volcanic"? Is that a card series too?" Téa , who wasn't very familiar with Duel Monsters Cards, asked.
"It's a Deck designed with the erupting volcano as inspiration, based on Machine and Cannon designs. Speaking of which, the "Volcanic" Deck actually shares the same designer as the Barrel Dragon used by 'The Bandit' Keith, so they are both Cards that are good at destroying," Pegasus said with a smile, glancing at the Field.
Pegasus said with a smile, looking at the Field: "Just like that, noticing that Hayato boy seemed about to Summon a 'God', he quite decisively pressed the detonation button."
As Pegasus said, Exodia stated loudly: "Hayato Kobayashi, the Card I sent to the Graveyard is Volcanic Scattershot. It has an effect that inflicts 500 damage to the Opponent when sent to the Graveyard, but it cannot be activated for now due to conflicting with the effect of Blaze Accelerator Reload."
"However, the second effect I will use here is this: When it is sent to the Graveyard by a "Blaze Accelerator" Card, I can send two Volcanic Scattershot from my Deck or Hand to the Graveyard,"
Waving his hand forward, Exodia Ordered, "Destroy all monsters on the Opponent's Field!"
"Blaze Accelerator Reload, Fire!"
Exodia, who had a clear understanding of his own ability, consistently followed his initial idea: to prevent Hayato from gathering the Tributes for the God. As a Mercenary, although he didn't possess the ability to create, he was particularly good at destroying.
Three Pyro-Type monsters, Volcanic Scattershot, were loaded into the three cannon barrels of Blaze Accelerator Reload, which fired fiercely, covering Hayato's Field. In an instant, both the monster Hayato had in Face-down Position and [Apostle of Ra] were covered by cannon fire.
To be able to use field-clearing means twice in such a short time, if Exodia's Opponent wasn't Hayato, most people would fundamentally be no match for him.
Due to chain resolution, after the cannon fire of Blaze Accelerator Reload ceased, the [Volcanic Blade] controlled by Change of Heart finally arrived on Hayato's Field. Unfortunately, besides it, there was only one monster left on Hayato's Field...
"Hmm?" Exodia was startled. "Why was there still a monster on Hayato's Field?"
"A spectacular series of field destruction, but unfortunately, the monster on my Field in Face-Down Defense Position is this one: Shaddoll Falcon. When this monster is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, it can be Special Summoned in Face-Down Defense Position on my Field."
Showing the Shaddoll Falcon Card to Exodia, Hayato placed it back on the Field. "However, it possesses two effects, and only one of them can be used once per Turn. So, as a Flip Monster, I cannot activate its other effect this Turn for now."
Exodia frowned: "Not only that, but because [Apostle of Ra] was destroyed, your Special Summon restriction is also dispelled."
"That's right. So, are you ready? Ready to welcome the arrival of a 'God'." Hayato played a Card from his Hand. "Fusion Summon is the most noble summoning method. Activate the Spell Card Shaddoll Fusion, using the LIGHT Attribute [Apostle of Ra] from my Hand and Shaddoll Falcon on the Field as Fusion Material---"
"Struggling repeatedly between the boundary of restriction and forbidden, majestic Special Summon Killer, stand tall upon the Earth, Wagatama Soul!"
"Not a Monster, it's a God! Fusion Summon, El Shaddoll Nephilim!"
