Chapter 1018: Rest in Peace
Chapter 1018: Rest in Peace
"This turn, I'll bury that magician!"
Yeshen was furious.
However, his anger hadn't clouded his judgment. Despite being at a disadvantage, they still had a chance and some countermeasures up their sleeves.
"Altar of Fallen Angels, Special Summon 'Fallen Angel Subbia' from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"
Once again, the black, toilet-shaped fallen angel with blood-red wings descended onto the field.
[Fallen Angel Subbia, Defense: 2400]
Jou said, "And Subbia's effect can revive another monster from the Graveyard."
"Truly fitting of a fallen angel, to be back in action so quickly."
Youxuan paused, then smiled slightly.
"However, it seems you don't fully understand the story behind this golden chest."
Yeshen was taken aback. "What?"
"The Golden Chest of Light is both a testament to the bond of the previous Duel King spanning three thousand years and a golden container for the deceased to rest in peace.
The dead should sleep in eternal peace."
With a wave of his hand, the golden chest emitted a brilliant light.
"Another effect of the Golden Chest of Light. Once per turn, if the opponent Special Summons a monster from the Graveyard, discard one Magic Card from your hand to return that monster to the Graveyard!"
Youxuan discarded a Magic Card from his hand and pointed at the Fallen Angel Subbia that had just landed on Yeshen's field.
"Send Fallen Angel Subbia back to the Graveyard!"
The golden chest released a blinding light that enveloped the fallen angel. Subbia's form became ethereal and vanished before it could even stand firm.
Jou: "It even has a resistance to revival. What a powerful golden chest."
While Jou marveled at the golden chest's capabilities, Kaiba's eyes flickered with realization.
Wasn't it the same during the final turn of the Battle of the Millennium?
Atem used the Resurrection of the Dead to revive Obelisk the Tormentor, attempting to deliver the final blow. However, Yu Gi had already sealed the Resurrection of the Dead within the Golden Chest of Light, rendering the sky dragon's revival ineffective.
The dead should rest in peace. Indeed, this was the message Yu Gi conveyed to Atem through the Duel and the golden chest.
"Damn it."
Yeshen's dislike for the golden chest grew, but he gritted his teeth and continued.
"However, Subbia was Special Summoned and then immediately returned to the Graveyard. The summon wasn't negated. And Subbia's effect activates upon successful summoning, allowing me to Special Summon another fallen angel from the Graveyard.
I Special Summon 'Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca'!"
Another fallen angel previously used as a tribute.
[Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca, Attack: 2800]
"Then, I Normal Summon 'Fallen Angel Ucoabal'!"
[Fallen Angel Ucoabal, Attack: 700]
"Fallen Angel Ucoabal's effect!" Yeshen said. "When this card is summoned or Special Summoned, I can send any 'Fallen Angel' card from my Deck to the Graveyard!"
The range of cards that could be sent to the Graveyard included not just monsters but any Fallen Angel card.
Moreover, higher-tier fallen angels generally had the ability to replicate the effects of Trap and Spell Cards from the Graveyard. This combination made the effect particularly formidable. It allowed for easy access to any Trap or Spell Card from the Deck, disregarding the activation cost, and even upgraded one-speed effects to two-speed, enabling effects that could only be used during the player's turn to be used during the opponent's turn as well.
"I send the Trap Card 'Sinful Fallen Angel' from my Deck to the Graveyard!"
Yeshen drew a Trap from his Deck, showed it, and sent it to the Graveyard.
Youxuan furrowed his brow slightly.
He remembered the Sinful Fallen Angel; it was a Trap with the ability to destroy any card on the field, making it a powerful defensive card.
This was going to be a bit troublesome.
"Then, I activate the Cover Card!" Yeshen declared, and the Cover Card in his back row revealed itself. "Trap Card 'Rebellious Fallen Angel'!
By sending a 'Fallen Angel' monster from my hand or field to the Graveyard, I can activate this effect, and after the effect is resolved, I can recover Life Points equal to the Attack Power of the monster sent to the Graveyard.
I send 'Fallen Angel Mephisto' from my hand to the Graveyard!"
Yeshen revealed a Fallen Angel from his hand and sent it to the Graveyard.
"Next, I send Dark Attribute Synchro Materials from my hand or field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"
Yeshen drew a monster card from his hand and revealed it along with the two remaining Fallen Angels on his Duel Disk.
"From my hand, 'Fallen Angel Lucifer,' and from the field, 'Fallen Angel Ucoabal' and 'Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca'—three Fallen Angels Synchro!
The Archangel with the heart of a demon, wielding the sword of rebellion, brings forth endless darkness—
—Dawnfallen Lucifer, Fusion Summon!"
The Synchro condition required three Dark Attribute Angel monsters. The three major Fallen Angels were fused by the power of darkness, their corrupted black wings and heavy black armor making them a formidable presence. The eyes of the angel of dawn held a murky resentment, and he wielded a great sword of judgment as he slowly descended.
[Dawnfallen Lucifer, Attack 4000]
"Then, as the cost for activating the Rebellious Fallen Angel, I send 'Fallen Angel Mephisto' to the Graveyard, and I recover Life Points equal to its Attack Power!"
[Fallen Angel Mephisto, Attack Power 2600]
[Yeshen, LP 4000 → LP 6600]
"Additionally, when 'Dawnfallen Lucifer' is Fusion Summoned using a Fallen Angel as a Synchro Material, all cards on the opponent's field are destroyed!"
Yeshen roared fiercely.
"Vanish, all of you! Be destroyed!
Turn to ashes under Lucifer's judgment!"
Lucifer's great sword swung through the air, not with a physical strike but with a call to destruction. The sword summoned a roaring storm that swept across Youxuan's field. Youxuan gritted his teeth and resisted, but the defensive barrier finally shattered, forcing him to retreat once more.
"Ha ha ha—muda! All of it, muda!" Yeshen laughed. "Whether it's the Pharaoh or the Pharaoh's vessel, no matter how much power you borrow—
What!?"
As the smoke cleared, Youxuan had indeed retreated, but the Golden Chest of Light remained standing on the field, unscathed.
Yeshen: "!"
Yeshen was shocked.
"Why!?"
Lucifer's effect was absolute, a sweeping destruction that should have destroyed everything on the opponent's field. How could this small Golden Chest—
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Youxuan dusted himself off and said, "As long as the Golden Chest of Light remains on the field, it cannot be destroyed by any monster effect."
Yeshen: "!"
