Chapter 319 The Evil God Returns (Combined Chapter)
"My turn! Draw a card!"
With a miraculous draw, King Yu showed the card he got to Kagura: "Magic Card! [Monster Recycling]!"
"Return all cards on your field and all cards in your hand to your deck, then draw 5 cards from your deck! (Original effect)"
"I shuffle the face-down cards from my field back into my deck, then draw five cards!"
Yugi pulls out the cards he set face down in the previous turn, inserts them into his deck, shuffles them, and then draws five cards.
Kagura watched silently, her heart unmoved.
In the last round, [Orehagan Sironos] left the field, which should have been to summon the serpent god with infinite attack power.
However, because Kagura's life points did not reach 10000, the prerequisite was not met, so the snake god could not appear.
In fact, this was Kagura's deliberate act, because the true god of Orichalcos had already cast his gaze upon this duel not long before it began.
Perhaps the president's soul was so nourishing that the snake god was awakened and is now watching his new representative duel with the nameless pharaoh.
So from now on, I need to act more convincingly.
If the serpent god were to descend upon the dueling arena, its rules would have to be followed. There's no guarantee that something won't go wrong, such as discovering that it's a fake believer.
Although Kagura is not afraid of the snake god, there is no need to use force if the goal can be achieved through acting. Kagura was able to fool Dartz, so there is no reason why she couldn't fool this simple-minded snake god.
Wang Yang drew five cards at once, glanced at them, and his gaze became even more serious: "I activate the spell card, [Akasha Record] (original card), draw two cards from my deck."
"If any of the cards were used in this duel, they must be removed from the game!"
"Then I activate the Spell Card, 'Shallow Graveyard'!"
"Each player selects 1 monster from their respective Graveyard and sets it face-down on their respective field in Defense Position!"
In the physical card game, the monster Special Summoned from the Graveyard by this effect would require confirmation from the opponent, but since the Duel Disk exists in this world, confirmation is not required.
King takes a card from the graveyard and places it face-down in the front row; Kagura also takes a card from the graveyard and places it face-down.
He didn't place the god, but randomly chose one, because he had other purposes.
"Next, I'll set one card to the front row and three cards to the back row! End of turn!"
The round ended quickly, and it was Kagura's turn.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Kagura drew a card, glanced at it, and sneered, "I won't activate the [Psychic Helmet] in the graveyard."
The effect is that you will not summon anything this turn.
Fun fact: The [Psycho-Powered Helmet] is an optional effect.
"Furthermore, according to the effect of the [Life-Slicing Treasure Card] (original card), I must discard all my cards after five turns, so I will discard this card that I just drew."
Kagura placed the card in the graveyard, feeling quite emotional.
It's quite strange that I would have to pay such a "huge price" for this card.
"However, the card I just discarded was a magic card called 'Compensation Treasure Card' (original card), which allows you to draw two cards from your deck!"
As a duelist with exceptional dueling prowess, it's natural that he wouldn't run out of cards.
"Then I activate the spell card in my hand! [Dimensional Fusion]!"
Kagura revealed her eternally forbidden card: "Pay 2000 Life Points, both players Special Summon as many banished monsters as possible!"
[Kagura Kiryu, LP8800→LP6800]
"I Special Summon all three of my Chaos Dark Magicians except mine! Come forth! Chaos Dark Magicians!!!"
This is also a classic strategy for Chaos Dark Magician: first, use Bitter Choice and Monster Reborn to Special Summon all three Chaos Dark Magicians to the field.
Due to the characteristic that [Chaos Dark Magician] is removed from the game when he leaves the field.
If you pair this card with a card like "Dimensional Fusion" or "Return from Another Dimension," which can Special Summon all banished cards at once, you can Special Summon all three back to the field.
As the other dimension fluctuated, three identical black magicians, dressed in bodysuits and decorated with magenta buckles, emerged from the dimensional vortex.
[Chaos Dark Magician, Attack Power 2800] x3
Yugi: "Then I will Special Summon the [Trickster] in Defense Position, except as otherwise provided!"
This monster was once defeated by the Dark Magician of Chaos. Monsters destroyed by the Dark Magician of Chaos are removed from the game, and this is the only monster that Yugi has ever removed from the game.
[Trickster, Defense 1200]
"Accept the power of Orichalcos! [Dark Magician of Chaos]!"
The three [Chaos Black Magicians] simultaneously displayed a six-pointed star symbol above their heads, and their expressions turned evil.
[Chaotic Dark Magician, Attack Power 2800 → Attack Power 3300]
"Next, I activate the effect of [Chaos Dark Magician]: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand!"
"I Special Summoned three [Chaos Dark Magician], so I can recycle three Spell Cards from my Graveyard!"
"I'm adding the [Life-Slaying Talisman], [Monster Resurrection], and [Dimensional Fusion] from my graveyard to my hand!"
'
With the three cards added to his hand, Yoshihiro immediately understood their effects.
【Life-Slaying Treasure】is used to replenish your hand, and 【Monster Resurrection】is used to revive powerful gods in the graveyard.
【Dimensional Fusion】 can be Special Summoned again after three 【Chaos Dark Magician】 leaves the field, and can accurately recycle three powerful spell cards once more.
It's terrifying that such an offensive could be launched in an instant with just one card, both in terms of tactical precision and lethality.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Wang Yang's forehead. He absolutely could not allow Kagura to complete the resource cycle again!
He immediately clicked the Duel Disk, and the card at his feet was revealed: "Trap Card [Light-Sealed Sword]!"
"Randomly banish 1 face-down card from your opponent's hand. After this card is activated, during your opponent's 4th Standby Phase (calculated from their turn), return that card to their hand!"
As the king faced the four cards held by Kagura, he slowly closed his eyes, like a reclusive master sensing the falling leaves in a rushing stream.
It's a one in four chance, but as a true duelist, you're guaranteed to hit!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, his gaze fixed firmly on a card in Kagura's hand: "I choose the second card from the left in your hand!"
Kagura looked at the card and fell into deep thought.
A flying sword pierced through the [Dimensional Fusion] barrier, pinning it firmly to the floor.
Excluding the four rounds on the inside, it's basically impossible to recover. In such an intense battle, four rounds is longer than four years, so it's basically completely gone from the game.
Kagura was slightly speechless. Should she say that he truly lived up to his title of War God King?
He gave a villainous snort and uttered a line strikingly similar to the president's: "Just playing petty tricks!"
"I set two cards face down! Then I activate the Spell Card! [Life-Slaying Treasure Card] (original card), draw five cards from my deck!"
Kagura's deck is already down to half its strength. If the game continues, even a deck with sixty cards won't be able to hold on. The outcome is getting closer and closer.
Kagura drew five cards from her hand, glanced at them, and played one of them: "I activate the Spell Card! [Weapon Hole]!"
"Send the top card of your deck to the Graveyard, then add 1 Equip Spell Card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand!"
Kagura drew the top card from her deck and sent it to the graveyard, then immediately said, "I'm adding the Equip Spell [Explosive Blaze] from my deck to my hand!"
A card automatically pops out of the deck. Kagura draws it and displays it, then inserts it into the Duel Disk: "Now I activate the Equip Spell, [Explosive Blaze]!"
"The monster equipped with this card gains 400 ATK and can inflict damage to your opponent exceeding its DEF!"
"I'm equipping this card to [Ragnaros the Winged Dragon of Ra]!"
"Even gods are affected by spell card effects for one turn, so this card is effective for this turn!"
[Ra's Winged Dragon, Attack Power 46800 → Attack Power 47200]
"Then open the cover! [Monster Resurrection]!"
Kagura flipped back the face-down spell card, revealing its resurrected artwork that shimmered on the field: "I Special Summon 'Evil God: Annihilator' from my Graveyard!"
Blue lightning streaked across the sky, and a bronze dragon rose from the graveyard with a roar.
"【Evil God. Annihilator】's attack power is calculated based on the number of cards your opponent controls x 1000! You have three cards on your field, so this card's attack power is 3000!"
[Evil God. Annihilator, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 3000]
"Accept the power of Orichalcos! [The Evil God, the Annihilator]!"
[Evil God. Annihilator, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 3500]
"Here we go again, you evil god—"
King was no longer as shocked as before; he was now very clear about Kagura's abilities.
Kagura waved her hand: "I activate the effect of [Orichalcohol Aura], I recover Life Points equal to 500 times the number of monsters I control!"
"I have 6 monster cards on my field, so I recover 3000 Life Points!"
[Kagura Kiryu, LP6800→LP9800]
"Entering battle phase!"
Kagura waved her hand: "[Ra's Winged Dragon]! Attack [Trickster]!"
"Divine Flame Cannon!"
Winged Dragon of Ra opened its mouth again, gathering a strike capable of scorching the earth. Thanks to the Equip Card, this card has the ability to perform a penetrating attack this turn.
In other words, if this attack hits, it would cause more than 40,000 damage, which wouldn't be enough to offset even ten Kings' lives.
So Yugi immediately activated his face-down card: "Continuous Trap Card, Soul Barrier!"
"As long as you control a monster, battle damage to yourself becomes 0!"
The devastating attack of the Winged Dragon of Ra reduced the Trickster to ashes, but was firmly blocked by a barrier.
Kagura continued, "Then, [Chaos Black Magician], attack one of the face-down monsters!"
The Chaos Black Magician charged forward, brandishing his staff. The monster card was flipped open, revealing a jar containing a black shadow with sharp fangs.
[Forbidden Pot, Level 9, Earth-type, Rock-type, Defense 2000, Flip Pokémon]
Wang Yang waved his hand: "The Forbidden Pot has four effects, and you can only choose one per turn!"
"I choose to destroy all the monsters on my opponent's field!"
Although it has the third layer of Orichalcos's barrier immunity to spells and traps, and God is immune to the effects of monsters of level 10 or lower, the three [Chaos Dark Magician] and the previously set monster card, Niu, are different.
The four monsters immediately turned into specks of light and disappeared.
Three cards pop up from Kagura's graveyard: "[Chaos Dark Magician] is banished from the field when it leaves the field."
He looked at the "Transformed Jar" being sent to the cemetery and felt a pang of regret. They were all jars, why did they have to kill each other?
I should have activated this card sooner.
Undeterred, Kagura continued, "Next up is [Evil God: Annihilator] attacking that face-down card!"
【Evil God. Annihilator】Opens its mouth, somewhat unaccustomed to attacking the enemy, lightning gathering in its mouth as it attacks the face-down monster card.
As the card was attacked, it flipped over automatically, revealing a wary elf holding a longsword.
It turned out to be a notorious cannon fodder swordsman.
[A level 4, Earth-type, Warrior-type monster with 1200 Defense, an elf swordsman who manipulates enemies.]
The grotesque, corpse-like dragon roared, spewing lightning from its mouth. Given the vast difference in strength, the cannon fodder swordsman should have undoubtedly become cannon fodder.
But shockingly, the attack from [Evil God. Annihilator] was blocked by the elven swordsman's sword, and he was completely unharmed.
"Gah!?"
【Evil God. Annihilator】 let out a duck-like quack. How could this be? It was a mighty evil god, even if it was a lower-level god, it shouldn't be blocked by a trash monster with a level 4 attack power of 1400!
Could it really be a flying creature?! It's not that the two evil god brothers look down on it, but that it truly is a flying creature?
The cruel truth that it couldn't even kill a cannon fodder swordsman dealt a heavy blow to this evil god. It silently turned its head, its ferocious dragon face contorted, and let out a pitiful cry.
Master, you don't dislike me too, do you?
Kagura didn't answer, but Yugi explained, "The [Spirit Swordsman Who Tricks the Enemy] cannot be destroyed in battles against monsters with an attack power of 1900 or higher!"
【Evil God. Annihilator】stood up again. I knew it! How could a mighty evil god be no match for a cannon fodder swordsman? It turns out it's a monster effect.
Kagura coldly issued the command: "At this very moment! I activate the effect of [Evil God. Annihilator], freeing myself at any point during this turn!"
"Self-destruction!"
[The Evil God. Annihilator] howled incoherently for a while, shamelessly and mindlessly praising:
[Master is awesome! Yeah, that's another trick!]
It plunged one of its claws directly into the core of its own chest.
[Secret Technique: I Kill Myself]
The Evil God, the Annihilator, vanished as specks of light, but in that instant, a terrifying shockwave spread throughout the entire temple.
"I activate the effect of [Evil God: Annihilator]. When this card leaves the field, all cards on the field are sent to the Graveyard!"
"Absolutely annihilate them!"
As the wave spread, the cards on Yugi's field—[Spirit Swordsman Who Tricks the Enemy] and [Soul Barrier]—as well as the face-down card and Equip Spell [Explosive Blaze] on Kagura's field, were all sent to the Graveyard at the same time.
"【Ra's Winged Dragon】is the highest-ranking deity and does not accept the effects of a lower-ranking god like 【Evil God: Annihilator】."
