Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 705

Chương 705: Chapter 705: The Ultimate Arcana Descends

"I set two cards and end my turn," Kira said.

"But you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Sartorius bellowed.

"End Phase—resolve 'Memory of an Adversary'! During the next opponent's End Phase, the monster banished by its effect is Special Summoned—to my field—now!"

He thrust an arm skyward.

"Return to me once more—

—Arcana Force XXI - The World!!!"

A colossal storm—an iron titan descended.

"My turn. Draw!"

Sartorius drew, lifted his head, and spoke in a feral tone. Not just his face—his voice warped, as if some other being overlapped with him.

"Those who defy fate will be punished most severely. Light is destiny! Now you'll understand—"

He pressed a button.

"I activate my set—Trap Card 'The Material Lord!'" 1

The Trap flipped—no visible effect. Its artwork showed the sea, drowning creatures—then the card became a pillar of light, shooting into the sky.

He didn't explain; he flipped the other set.

"Next, I activate my set—Trap Card 'The Spiritual Lord!'" 1

The card's art was a desert. Again, it had no immediate effect—just a beam into the sky, echoing the first.

Spiritual and Material—both anime-only cards (later given effects in video games). In the anime, they're effectless—merely prerequisites for the ultimate Arcana. 1

"Lastly, from my hand I activate the Spell—

—'The Sky Lord!'" 1

The Spell appeared between the two Traps. Three pillars of light soared upward, then merged into one.

"Offer these three pillars to the heavens. O ultimate Light, shine with boundless power, purify this filthy world—

—Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, descend!!!"

A vast body took form in the radiance. Though named Light's Ruler, its body was jet-black. Two mechanical dragon heads, a cold, unyielding shell, eyes brimming with contempt for all.

"The… Light Ruler."

Sarina stared, stunned.

This thing—this is the embodiment of the evil force possessing her brother. With her senses, she could feel the power roiling beneath that steel shell—power that made her heart quake, even fear.

Something that should not exist in this world.

Of course, as the ultimate Arcana, it too required rotation on Summon.

"Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, Head!"

His word was law. He said Head—and Head it was. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Head effect: when Light Ruler destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY, I can add any card from my GY to my hand. That card just can't be used this turn."

That's weaker than the printed card—the TCG/OCG Light Ruler removes that restriction, letting you use it immediately.

Also, the printed summoning condition is arguably easier: just tribute three monsters from your field to Special Summon it.
