She gave the card to Seto Kaiba, and requested that he host a Dueling tournament to lure Marik and his Rare Hunters to the city, bringing the other 'God' cards with them. Marik was able to acquire 'The Winged Dragon of Ra' and 'Slifer the Sky Dragon', but Ishizu was able to protect 'Obelisk the Tormentor'. Unfortunately, this proved to be incorrect, resulting in both Duelists being struck down.
Marik came to the conclusion that the 'Gods' respond to the strength of heart of the Duelists, of which none of the members of the experimental group had, and to this end, he gave Odion a copy of 'Ra', reasoning that he would be able to control it due to his past as a servant of the Tomb Keepers. Using counterfeits of the 'God' cards also proved to be deadly, as Marik Ishtar found out when his Rare Hunters were testing counterfeited copies of 'The Winged Dragon of Ra', some ended up being crippled, some lost their minds, and some even died the moment the card was played. The wielder of these great cards is able to acquire the title of 'Duel King,' but in the wrong hands, they are capable of causing legitimate injury or even death. Pegasus woke up injured after this 'nightmare,' so he decided that these cards were too powerful to be mass-produced, and had Ishizu Ishtar bury the prototypes in the Pharaoh's tomb. Shadi told Pegasus that he had angered the 'Egyptian gods'. When Pegasus finished the art-work on the prototypes, he had a nightmare about the Egyptian Gods attacking him. When Pegasus decided to make them into cards, everyone involved in the project was attacked by the spirits of the 'Egyptian God' monsters, so Pegasus decided to create the cards on his own, under the protection of his Millennium Eye. The 'Egyptian Gods' are one-of-a-kind all-powerful cards created by Maximillion Pegasus, who modeled them after three Ancient Egypt divine beasts whose likenesses surround the Millennium Puzzle on the stone tablet said to hold the memories of the nameless Pharaoh. Several other cards, such as 'Embodiment of Apophis', 'Mystical Beast of Serket', 'Ma'at', the 'Horus the Black Flame Dragon' archetype, 'Sebek's Blessing', 'Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys', the 'Hieratic' archetype, and the 'New Order' archetype, are named after real Egyptian deities, but are not a part of the Egyptian God series.
