Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 442

"Taking 'Monster Reborn' from your graveyard!"

White spider web shoots from Kira's card, precisely snaring "Monster Reborn" from the Arbiter's graveyard.

The thread retracts, and the Spell arcs through the air into Kira's hand.

"He reclaimed 'Monster Reborn'!" Jaden exclaims. "Now he can bring back the Divine Beast again!"

"Tch, that lingering Pharaoh's spirit, even his Divine Beast is this persistent," the Arbiter snorts.

There's no doubt Ra is the key—the best hope to defeat Divine Serpent Geh. If Kira uses Monster Reborn to bring back Ra, it'll return as Immortal Phoenix mode due to Special Summoning.

Although Kira's current LP seems too low to use Ra's board wipe again, with only 800 left, healing even a bit would put him over 1000 and make it possible. The Arbiter can't ignore that risk.

If Divine Serpent Geh leaves the field, he loses. If the Phoenix returns, he's in real danger.

He cannot allow the Divine Beast's return.

"Spell Card: Monster Reborn!"

Kira slots the card into his duel disk.

A giant green resurrection symbol appears in the air, burning like fire. The flames take the shape of a winged bird; even before it descends, the divine phoenix's spirit seems to glare at Divine Serpent Geh through the magic, crimson eyes filled with rage.

"Targeting 'Winged Dragon of Ra' in the graveyard, revive Ra—"

"Not so fast!"

Before he can finish, the Arbiter interrupts sharply.

"I activate the Trap 'Disappear'!

Banishing one card from your opponent's graveyard!"

He points at Kira's graveyard, shouting,

"'Winged Dragon of Ra,' banished! Dead things should stay dead and stop interfering!"

He's talking about Ra, but the subtext is his frustration with the Pharaoh's spirit refusing to stay buried.

God cards ignore traps, but before hitting the field, they're just regular cards. Banished, the divine bird's image fades, letting out a final roar of defiance before vanishing.

The Arbiter laughs wildly.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to pull a Divine Beast, but now that you've lost it, how can you fight me? What can you do against the infinite power of Divine Serpent Geh!?"

"Quick-Play Spell, 'Burial from a Different Dimension,'" Kira says. "Return up to three banished monsters to the graveyard.

I'll return these three—"

He reveals three cards.

"Clear Kuriboh, Winged Dragon of Ra, and Caius the Shadow Monarch, all back to the graveyard."

The Arbiter's heart skips a beat.

He's recovered Clear Kuriboh and Ra…

This combo gives him a bad feeling.

"I activate 'Advance Draw,' tributing my Level 8 'Cyber Twin Dragon' to draw two cards," Kira continues.

Cyber Twin Dragon dissolves into light, and Kira draws two cards.

"Normal Summon 'Cyber Valley.'"

[Cyber Valley, ATK 0]

"Cyber Valley has three effects. One lets me banish it and a card from my hand to place any card from my graveyard on top of my deck."

He tosses a card; Cyber Valley's effect activates, a black vortex opens, and both disappear.

"I banish 'Cyber Valley' and a card from my hand to return this card from my graveyard—"

As the card leaves the graveyard, a flicker of the divine bird's shadow flashes, a powerful aura surging from Kira's hand.

"Returning 'Winged Dragon of Ra' to the top of my deck."
