Chapter 1019: Spirit Awakening
Chapter 1019: Spirit Awakening
Unscathed!
Lucifer, the Fallen Angel of Dawn, unleashed a devastating blow, and the overwhelming Darkness crashed against the Golden Cabinet of Light. Yet, not even a scratch was left behind.
Jou murmured, "This Golden Cabinet of Light contains the will of Mr. Yu Gi."
He didn't continue, but a thought suddenly crossed his mind: his Ultra Fusion. The card obtained through the Emperor's sacrifice was no less a representation of the Emperor's will.
"And the 'Tricolor Gadget' you just destroyed", Youxuan said, "When this card is destroyed by battle or effect, you can set a Continuous Trap 'Hidden City - Fortified Bastion' from your Deck to your back row."
Divine Incarnate let out a heavy snort.
"But what's the point of this card surviving alone?"
He said coldly.
"Everything else on your field has been destroyed by Lucifer, and now it's your turn to meet your end!
I activate the other effect of 'Lucifer, the Fallen Angel of Dawn'!
Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase, I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon any Angel monster from my hand or Graveyard in Defense Position!"
[Yeshen, LP 6600 → LP 5600]
A dark light shot out from Yeshen's Graveyard, accompanied by a flurry of blood-red feathers. The Fallen Angel who had just left the field this turn returned once again.
"Fallen Angel Sopbia!"
[Fallen Angel Sopbia, Defense 2400]
"Hey, why don't you try to stop me from reviving this time with that damn cabinet?" Yeshen taunted.
Youxuan replied, "The Golden Cabinet of Light can return monsters Special Summoned from the Graveyard back to the Graveyard, but this effect can only be used once per turn."
Yeshen snorted, "The Fallen Angel revived by Lucifer's effect must be in Defense Position, but at this instant, Sopbia's effect has also activated!
When 'Fallen Angel Sopbia' is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can revive another Fallen Angel from the Graveyard!
Return to the field, Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca!"
[Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca, Attack 2800]
In an instant, three Fallen Angels had descended once more!
Jou thought, "While Youxuan and the Golden Cabinet are formidable, Yeshen is no pushover."
Despite his attacks being repeatedly thwarted, Yeshen could immediately organize counterattacks, displaying a relentless and tenacious offensive.
No wonder he was known as the toughest Yeshen to deal with. If Jou were to face this Yeshen, it would surely be a tough battle.
Indeed, Youxuan's field had been cleared. Although the remaining Golden Cabinet provided sustained support for future turns, the situation was now perilous.
But Jou wasn't worried.
Youxuan would surely have a plan.
"Die!" Yeshen roared, "Lucifer, the Fallen Angel of Dawn, direct Attack!"
As expected, just as Lucifer's great sword was about to strike, at the last possible moment,
Youxuan suddenly muttered, "Now, you should at least be a bit useful, right?"
"Rude!"
A protesting voice shouted.
"I've always been super useful, you know!"
With that, a large eye flew out and landed in front of Youxuan on the field.
Jou exclaimed, "Ah! It's that spirit!"
But he remembered that the spirit's information had been completely erased.
However, in the next moment, he saw the eye glowing, seemingly resonating with the Golden Cabinet of Light on the field!
Right, it was supposed to be a guardian spirit. To conceal the location of the sealed land, it had intentionally deleted its memory and information.
Could it be that this card is also related to the Golden Cabinet?
"Seal, release!"
"Ooooh—"
The eye let out a passionate cry, its body bathed in the golden light of the Golden Cabinet, rapidly transforming into a solid form. Its presence was imposing, its roar thunderous, as if it were about to unleash a power that had been suppressed for too long.
The light faded away.
Everyone looked down at the tiny creature, barely reaching the knee of an adult.
Despite its small size, it stood tall and proud, exuding an air of invincibility.
Jou hesitated, "You are... Marshmallow?"
Marshmallow, a classic monster from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
[Marshmallow, Defense: 500]
Marshmallow glared defiantly, huffing, "Who knows who started the rumor that my Attack Power is 0!"
"Bullshit! Slander!"
"It's clearly 300!"
The crowd: "..."
Earlier, Kaiba Corporation's tests seemed to suggest that this card's Attack Power was 0, but with the card's memory data lost, the test was only an estimate, and some margin of error was normal.
An Attack Power of 300 was essentially negligible, almost the same as 0.
Or, to put it another way, if monsters with 0 Attack Power were considered weak, then those with 200-300 Attack Power were generally even more insignificant.
Of course, this wasn't always the case. Cards like the Nutball Family, with their long history of powerful effects, often had Attack Powers in the 200-300 range.
Marshmallow was a similar type of monster.
"Marshmallow's effect", Youxuan explained, "in the opponent's turn, if 'Golden Cabinet of Light' is on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand at any time."
Yeshen frowned, coldly saying, "Just a weakling, delaying your inevitable defeat for a moment."
The battle resumed! Lucifer, the Fallen Angel of Dawn, destroy this weakling!
Lucifer swung his sword, striking the fluffy mass of Marshmallow. The spot where the sword hit immediately sank in, but it quickly bounced back, even repelling Lucifer's sword with great force.
Yeshen: "What?"
"Sorry", Youxuan said, "but Marshmallow can't be destroyed by battle."
He paused, then smiled.
"Also, while Marshmallow is on the field, the opponent cannot choose other monsters as Attack targets."
Jou couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, no longer underestimating this seemingly harmless and comical creature.
Not being able to be destroyed by battle was already a significant challenge. Add to that the forced attack taunt effect, and it was essentially an unbreakable, taunting shield.
And, of course, the card's ability to be Special Summoned from the hand during the opponent's turn made it a powerful hand trap.
Compared to traditional hand traps like Nutball, which could only block one attack, this was a much stronger ability!
The best approach would be to resolve it with card effects.
Sure enough, Yeshen shouted, "Trivial trick!
Now, I activate the effect of Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca! Pay 1000 Life Points to gain the effect of a Fallen Angel Trap Card from the Graveyard!
This effect can be activated during the opponent's turn, including during the Battle Phase!"
[Yeshen, LP 5600 → LP 4600]
"From the Graveyard, I gain the effect of the Trap Card 'Fallen Angel of Treachery'!" Yeshen declared, "Fallen Angel of Treachery, which normally requires sending a Fallen Angel from the hand or field to the Graveyard as a cost, can now be activated without a cost due to the direct effect copy!
Destroy any card on the field!"
Yeshen commanded.
"Destroy Marshmallow!"
