"Take 6000 points of reflected damage!"
Youyu waved his hand, and the divine fist shattered the blue shockwave absorbed by the trap, bursting forth with a fierce sound, hurtling straight towards the Pharaoh!
6000 points of damage, enough to kill in one blow!
The reflected blue divine light rippled through the space, illuminating the Pharaoh's resolute face. He stood there, his cloak billowing in the storm, the golden trinket on his chest swaying constantly, the chain making a crisp clinking sound.
He raised his hand and touched a stone tablet before him.
A fluffy white spherical creature with angelic wings bounced out, releasing a hemispherical pale blue barrier in front of it. The divine fist's power poured unreservedly onto the shield, like a torrent washing over the transparent barrier.
Hanewata!
Hanewata, discarded from the hand, can make effect damage become 0 this turn.
"Darn! Blocked again." Jonouchi felt sorry for Youyu, "The opponent's defense is simply impenetrable!"
The Pharaoh placed another stone tablet face down, ending this round of action.
Once again, Youyu's killer strategy was dismantled. However, he wasn't too surprised. If it were that easy, this Pharaoh would be no stronger than the AI duelists Kaiba usually faced.
But with this, he had to think about the next step.
"My turn, draw card!"
Drawing a card from his deck, his eyes flicked to the side, his gaze shifting.
This was indeed a good card, precisely what he needed now.
"Continuous Magic 'Pot of Survivor'!" A Magic Card appeared before Youyu, "As long as this card remains on the field, every time a monster is revived from the graveyard to the field, I draw three cards from my deck."
He then revealed a Hero Card that was searched into his hand in the first round.
"Summon 'Elemental Hero Liquidman' in defense position!"
[Elemental Hero Liquidman, Defense 1300]
"Liquidman's effect." Youyu said, "When successfully Summoned, special summon a level four or below Hero from the graveyard. Come, Destiny Hero Disk Commander!"
Liquidman's palm swept to the side, water swirling, forming a blue ring, and the hero, decked with discs, leaped out.
[Destiny Hero Disk Commander, Defense 300]
"Disk Commander's effect, when revived from the graveyard, I draw two cards from my deck. Then the effect of 'Pot of Survivor', I draw three cards!"
With a supply of five cards in hand at once, Slifer the Sky Dragon let out a deep roar. Golden lightning crackled around it, and red energy enveloped the divine dragon like flames, enhancing its divine power.
[Slifer the Sky Dragon, Attack 0 → Attack 5000]
"Oh oh, Slifer's attack power has surpassed Obelisk!" Jonouchi was excited.
"Go for it, Youyu!" Honda began cheering him on.
"Battle!" Youyu shouted, "Slifer! Attack Obelisk the Tormentor, Thunderforce Attack!"
This command obviously thrilled Slifer. Barely had the words left his master's mouth before its jaws opened, thunder gathering in the vast maw, bright light swelling like a storm. The golden beam burst forth, where the light shone, sand and stone flew, scattering debris everywhere.
The Tormentor raised its fist to block, but its strength held barely for a moment before being overwhelmed by the Thunderforce Attack. The giant clumsily rebounded backward, crashing into the golden wall behind.
Everyone felt as if the entire palace underfoot was trembling like an earthquake, a crack appearing in the golden wall.
Obelisk the Tormentor, defeated!
[Nameless Pharaoh, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
But Youyu's attack was not over!
He drew another card from his hand: "Quick-Play Magic - Mischief of the Time Goddess! This card can only be activated after your own Battle Phase.
According to its effect, skip an entire turn, going directly to the start of the next Battle Phase on my side!"
[Slifer the Sky Dragon, Attack 5000 → Attack 4000]
Anzu was trying hard to keep up with the pace: "Directly to the start of the next turn's Battle Phase, this means..."
"Slifer has gained the right to attack again!" Yugi said.
Jonouchi snapped his fingers: "Youyu won!"
The Time Goddess with twin ponytails and long smooth hair the color of the sea nimbly descended, winking playfully and shaking her small Time Staff.
The ruby-like Magic Staff on top sparkled brilliantly, illuminating the entire field. The invisible Time Wheel appeared above the arena, the clock hand spinning, and the time within the arena accelerated like a torrent.
Gaining the power to attack again, Slifer's great maw opened, limitless divine power gathered, the golden light shone as bright as the scorching sun!
"Go, Slifer! Thunderforce Attack, double shot!" Youyu commanded.
Thunder roared, beams pierced through the space! With nothing to obstruct, the Pharaoh raised his head, facing the endless surge of golden light without blinking, only calmly raising his hand again.
On the floor in front of him, a black vortex leading to the Netherworld opened. A small, adorable, dark figure bounced out from it, "Kuriboh Kuriboh" intercepting in the path of the Thunderforce Attack.
Kuriboh, the unbeatable Kuriboh!
But this time, it's "Clear Kuriboh"!
Clear Kuriboh, this card can be activated when it exists in the graveyard and an opponent declares an attack. Banish this card from the graveyard, draw a card from the top of your deck.
If the drawn card is a Monster Card, that monster can be special summoned directly, then the opponent's attack target is forcibly swapped with the drawn monster.
Youyu squinted: "One of the two cards discarded by the Gift of the Angel?"
But Clear Kuriboh's defensive effect is unstable since the card drawn from the top of the deck is completely random. As long as that draw does not yield a Monster Card, Slifer's attack goes through, and in that instant, Youyu wins.
But as everyone knows, everything for a true Duelist is inevitable.
Especially in such a situation, in this scenario, the card drawn is destined.
The Nameless Pharaoh slowly raised his arm, his palm open to the sky, cloak and Millennium Pendant swaying dramatically under the storm of divine power.
Shimmering golden light appeared midair, gradually forming the shape of a stone tablet. But this was a clearly different stone tablet, not yet revealed, the stone slab emitted a dazzling golden brilliance, like the rising sun on the horizon.
"Could it be!?" Yugi was the first to react.
The Pharaoh, as if chanting, softly recited the ancient Priest text. The incantations inputted like code, brighter golden light radiated intensely, even melting the stone tablet itself.
The supreme being was unleashed from the seal, flames adorned the colossal body, high temperatures distorted space, and flames transformed into armor clad the metallic body surface.
The divine bird bathed in immortal flames, spreading its blazing wings!
The Winged Dragon of Ra, Summon!
Youyu's mouth twitched slightly, bearing an expression as if thinking, "I can't believe the luck."
The effect of Clear Kuriboh drawing Winged Dragon of Ra? Can you believe it!?
