Scrap Iron Fence!
A dirty, rust-stained iron fence rose from the ground, acting like a shield wall in front of the Cotton Candy. The demon's giant hand, which was wrapping towards Cotton Candy, was suddenly stopped by this old fence, only to retreat back into the void whirlpool.
Executioner: "Nani?"
"Moreover, after Scrap Iron Fence is activated, it doesn't go to the graveyard but is directly redeployed to the field in a cover position."
Yugen smiled gently, and the counterattack trap just activated immediately reverted to cover status, returning to his trap zone.
From both the effect and the name, it's clear at a glance that this card shares the same origin as Yusei's "Scrap Iron Scarecrow." However, while the Scrap Iron Scarecrow has a physical card, Scrap Iron Fence is animation-exclusive and hasn't been made into a physical card.
This card was used by an old man living in a junkyard in a daily episode of 5DS. That old man used a trap card deck represented by Scrap Iron Scarecrow, where all the traps in the series have the same characteristic as Scarecrow; after activation, they can be redeployed, allowing continuous reuse.
Even Clero using Black Feather suffered considerable loss at the hands of the old man in the animation, as the constantly reused traps were quite taxing on one's mentality.
This time, Yugen is using a deck similar to the old man's, only he made some personalized adjustments to make the deck a bit more enjoyable.
The cotton candy was still not resolved, stubborn as a cockroach, which annoyed the Executioner somewhat.
Especially that cotton candy, which was now being cheeky, taunting with a "Nyah nyah nyah, miss~" while sticking its tongue out, making it even more frustrating.
"Then let's start with that broken submarine!"
The cotton candy is hard to deal with for now, but the submarine poses a significant threat too. In a 4000 life environment, letting that broken submarine hit every turn is quite painful and cannot be ignored.
But the opponent's back row has a Scrap Iron Scarecrow trap, which can nullify an attack declaration once per turn. This is something the Executioner hasn't forgotten.
"Then a double hit should break through this defense line!"
The Executioner made up his mind and revealed another monster in his hand.
"From my hand, 'Justice Alliance - Cosmic Sealing Machine,' although it's a Level 8 upper-level monster, it can be special summoned from the hand when there are two or more monsters on the field, including 'Light Attribute'!"
"Including Light Attribute..."
The Cotton Candy strained to look at its own round body.
Then it suddenly realized with a shock.
"Oh, I guess I am a Light Attribute?"
"Yes." Yugen said calmly, "That's why I said you were asking for trouble."
The storyline of the Justice Alliance card deck is that the residents of the DT planet created war weapons to resist the terrifying invaders from outer space, the "Alien Insect."
It's widely known that the entire Alien Insect deck is Reptile Race and Light Attribute. To align with this setting, the entire Justice Alliance deck also features cards specialized against Light Attribute.
Cards that exclude the opponent's Light Attribute monsters, can attack multiple times when facing Light Attribute monsters, nullify monster effects of Light Attribute, and can be specially summoned without conditions when the opponent controls Light Attribute monsters...
The entire card deck prominently features these characteristics, regardless of whether it encounters Alien Insect; as long as it's Light Attribute, it must be dealt with.
"You have a Light Attribute Cotton Candy on your field, and there are a total of two monsters." The Executioner said, "Therefore, 'Cosmic Sealing Machine' can be summoned directly without cost!
Come forth! Justice Alliance - Cosmic Sealing Machine!"
The ground cracked open a deep blue energy fissure, countless metal fragments spiraled together from the void, emitting a piercing whirr. The air appeared warped due to the high-energy reaction, and silver-gray armor plates rapidly came together under electromagnetic force, erupting with blue-white electric sparks.
The energy core suddenly ignited, a blinding blue light swept across the field like a pulse. A massive sealing device hovered mid-air, its bottom spraying azure flames, sending gusts that swept up dust and debris around.
The ring structure around the core rotated counterclockwise, releasing visible transparent force field ripples. The roaring of machinery operations resembled the low growl of a giant beast, the sound of cogwheels interlocking and the crackling of energy overload intertwined into a deep symphony.
[Justice Alliance - Cosmic Sealing Machine, Attack Power 2400]
"Even with Scrap Iron Scarecrow, it can only block one attack."
The Executioner declared.
"Engage the attack!
First, Justice Alliance - Disaster Insect, attack the 'Submarine Robot'!"
Energy accumulated, converging into the single eye on Disaster Insect's forehead. Radiance shone, and energy transformed into a piercing spear, headed straight for the small submarine.
Yugen: "Activate Cover Card, Trap Card 'Scrap Iron Scarecrow.'
When the opponent's monster attacks, negate the attack."
The trap from the previous turn activated again, and the metal Scarecrow was released from the trap, its tilted head hung aside, one of the lenses in the goggles seemed to have fallen, with only one lens glowing dim red.
Boom!
The Disaster Insect's attack hit the Scarecrow, the transparent barrier held off the Disaster Insect's strike. The Scarecrow was then retracted into the trap, covered again.
"But this way, the Scarecrow's defense has been breached! Now, it's time for Cosmic Sealing Machine!"
The Executioner shouted.
"Attack the 'Submarine Robot'!"
The air became viscous due to the force field's distortion, the blue energy core suddenly contracted into a glaring white point, emitting a high-frequency pulse that sounded like a beast's low roar before gathering energy.
With a deafening roar, the energy sphere transformed into a super-gravity beam that traversed the battlefield, even its aftermath plowing burnt grooves into the ground.
"Submarine, disappear for me here!"
Yet...
Yugen nonchalantly smiled and waved his hand gently.
"Activate Cover Card. Trap Card 'Scrap Iron Scarecrow.'
When the opponent's monster attacks, negate that attack."
Executioner: "???"
Wait a minute, don't try to confuse me with nonsense, how can your Scarecrow activate again?
Yet the next moment, he saw the trap that had just been covered was already opening once more, releasing the rusty Scarecrow cross.
The Cosmic Sealing Machine's aggressive strike was once again entirely intercepted by the Scarecrow's transparent barrier, the violent shockwave exploding in all directions, shaking the ground, with remnants scattering. The air vibrated, yet it didn't breach the Scarecrow's defense even a little.
"After activation, the Scrap Iron Scarecrow isn't sent to the graveyard, but is redeployed on the field."
Yugen cheerfully re-covered the Scarecrow.
"Wait!" The Executioner felt he must be fooled. "Trap cards can't activate in the turn they're set! How can your Scarecrow activate twice?"
"That's true, normally it can't be done. But with this card, it can."
Yugen smiled and pointed at a Continuous Magic standing in front of him.
Executioner: "!"
