"Both players draw one card from their respective decks."
"Furthermore, since I've activated three more Spell Cards, the effects of the two [Royal Magical Library] monsters on my field trigger once again. I'll remove the six newly accumulated Spell Counters to draw two more cards!"
As Jiang He spoke, he drew three cards from the top of his deck, which had already thinned out by more than half.
Good grief, did I use up a lifetime's worth of luck with that god-tier opening hand against Crowler earlier today...? Jiang He couldn't help but complain internally as he looked at the three cards he had just drawn.
There were only twelve cards left in his entire deck, yet he still hadn't managed to pull the last two pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One. They were likely buried at the very bottom.
Fortunately, this was a system-produced, extreme OTK deck.
Out of the ten cards currently in his hand, aside from the three Exodia pieces he already held, the remaining seven were all Spell Cards! Combined with the monster effects of the two [Royal Magical Library] cards, he could easily burn through the remaining twelve cards in his deck.
Jiang He played another Spell Card.
"I activate the Spell Card, [Magical Mallet]! I can choose any number of cards from my hand, shuffle them back into the deck, and then draw the same number of cards!"
"I choose to return six cards to my deck every card in my hand except for the three [Forbidden One] pieces and draw six new ones!"
Jiang He placed the six cards back into his deck, and the Duel Disk automatically began to shuffle. Moments later, he drew six fresh cards!
"This is bad!"
Chazz immediately realized the situation was dire. Even if this lucky brat's remaining two pieces were at the very bottom, shuffling the deck and drawing six more cards drastically changed the odds. The probability of him completing the set right now was extremely high!
"What were those six cards?!" Below the stage, Jaden, Syrus, and Alexis along with Chazz's two lackeys held their breath. They stared intently at Jiang He and the six cards he had just added to his hand.
"It's over, Chazz."
The corners of Jiang He's mouth curled into a grin as he revealed his hand. Among the six cards he had just drawn, the [Left Arm of the Forbidden One] and the head of [Exodia the Forbidden One] were clearly visible!
Hum!!
Almost simultaneously, the three pieces in his other hand began to glow. Amidst a burst of golden radiance, a massive, golden silhouette of Exodia appeared on the field!
Breaking free from its shackles, the titan let out a deafening roar! It then lunged forward, slamming a fist directly into Chazz!
"Argh!!"
Following a massive explosion of fire and smoke, the pain-simulation feedback sent Chazz tumbling across the floor in a pathetic display. His high Life Point total of 7000 LP instantly plummeted to zero!
"Lord Chazz...!!" The two Obelisk Blue lackeys watched with wide eyes as the smoke cleared, revealing Chazz lying miserably on the ground.
"Chazz... was actually finished in a single turn by this Jiang He!" Alexis covered her mouth in shock. Although she had sensed it coming, seeing it actually happen was still staggering.
After all, Chazz was the number one freshman in Obelisk Blue!
And this time, Jiang He hadn't won purely through luck like he had against Professor Crowler. He hadn't started with all five pieces in his opening hand; he had played through his deck to get them.
"That was amazing, Jiang He!" Jaden shouted excitedly.
"An OTK against an Obelisk elite..." Syrus looked at Jiang He with a mix of awe and surprise.
"It was nothing," Jiang He replied, reverting to his usual lazy demeanor as he gave a casual wave. "Oh, right, I almost forgot."
Jiang He suddenly remembered something. Under everyone's confused gaze, he struck a classic pose toward Chazz and delivered the line:
"That's game! It was a fun duel!"
It was a total taunt.
"..." Jaden went blank.
"..." Alexis and Syrus felt themselves turn to stone. They were all screaming internally.
Fun, my foot!
As his opponent, Chazz had spent the entire time simply waiting for the axe to fall! He had endured the psychological pressure of a death row inmate waiting for execution! He didn't even get to use a single card effect before being wiped out by an OTK!
You're the only one who had a "fun duel" here!
[Ding! Chazz's emotion points +600!]
"How is this possible...?! How could I, the Great Chazz, be humiliated and OTK'd by a Slifer Red loser who just has dumb luck?!" Chazz slammed his fist into the ground, his face twisted in disbelief.
He couldn't accept it! Especially not after being taunted by Jiang He like that!
"By the way, Chazz, don't forget our bet. Please sign this," Jiang He said with a smile, handing Chazz a piece of paper after harvesting another wave of "depressed" emotion points.
"An IOU... I, Chazz Princeton, having lost a duel to Jiang He, hereby owe the sum of 20 million yen as the stake of the duel..."
Chazz read the note, a vein throbbing in his temple. He looked like he was about to explode. "You bastard! You actually prepared an IOU in advance?!"
Chazz's teeth were nearly grinding to dust. He wanted to tear the paper to shreds. Jiang He had treated him like a fat sheep ready for the slaughter from the very beginning!
