Chapter 1020: Big Brother
Jou was taken aback. "The Graveyard Trap has this move too?"
If Cotton Candy were destroyed now, Yeshen's field would still have Tezcatlipoca to attack, and that would mean Youxuan's defeat!
This Yeshen is indeed absurdly strong.
Boom!
A fierce explosion engulfed Youxuan's Cotton Candy, flames and smoke obscuring the view, making everything unclear.
But before the smoke could clear, a taunting voice echoed out: "Hahaha! Useless!
Such a weak attack can't even tickle my Cotton Candy Emperor!"
The crowd: "..."
What’s a Cotton Candy Emperor?
No, but that's not the point—
[Cotton Candy Emperor, Defense 500]
Still useless!
Despite the Fallen Angel's bombardment, the Cotton Candy remained stubbornly on the field, seemingly unaffected.
"Why!?" Yeshen exclaimed.
If battle destruction doesn't work, can't it be destroyed by card effects?
Youxuan chuckled. "The Cotton Candy Emperor cannot be destroyed by battle.
And if it is destroyed by a card effect, I can Special Summon another Cotton Candy from my hand, Deck, Graveyard, or banished zone, whichever I choose."
Yeshen: "???"
From the hand, Deck, Graveyard, or banished zone...
You might as well say it's invincible, right?
In other words, as long as there are two Cotton Candy cards in the Deck, they can infinitely alternate on the field. Destroy one, and another will pop up, no matter if the other one is in the Deck or banished.
However, Youxuan didn't mention that this regeneration effect can only be used once per turn.
Jou couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
The status of this Cotton Candy in his mind rose even higher.
It's too resilient!
Unbreakable in battle, and it can regenerate even when destroyed by effects.
Moreover, this card is linked to the Golden Cabinet of Light, making it easy to retrieve and deploy.
This means that even if you use methods like banishing, returning to the hand, or sending back to the Deck, you might temporarily remove it this turn. But if the opponent wants to, they can retrieve it in the next turn.
Truly, it's an indestructible cockroach.
For some reason, it seemed to fit Youxuan's style quite well.
"It's not over yet", Youxuan smiled. "And if this card is destroyed by an effect and a new Cotton Candy is Special Summoned, it will deal 1000 points of damage to the opponent!"
The Cotton Candy Emperor shouted, "Reflect Cotton!"
A beam of light shot out from its soft, white body and hit Yeshen's face.
[Yeshen, LP 4600 → LP 3600]
"Damn it!" Yeshen was furious. "A 3-star monster dares to be so arrogant..."
It was infuriating!
The Cotton Candy, though just a Spirit, splits into three cards when its power is awakened by the Golden Cabinet of Light. If it were just one card, its effects would be virtually useless.
"...My turn is over", Yeshen said solemnly.
But it wasn't over; he still had moves.
"My turn, Draw", Youxuan said.
Yeshen: "During the Main Phase, I activate the effect of 'Dawnfall Angel - Lucifer' again!
By paying 1000 Life Points, I Special Summon 'Fallen Angel - Ukokaku' from the Graveyard!"
[Yeshen, LP 3600 → LP 2600]
Ukokaku's effect, upon successful summoning, allows the player to send any Fallen Angel card from the Deck to the Graveyard.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't started their turn, Yeshen sent a Fallen Angel Trap from the Deck to the Graveyard, one that could disrupt the opponent, such as a card that destroys monsters on the field or nullifies their effects.
This way, he could use the effect of the "Fallen Angel - Tezcatlipoca" on the field to replicate that Trap's ability and interrupt the opponent's strategy.
But the plan was good in theory.
"Then I discard 'D.D. Crow' from my hand", Youxuan said. "I banish a card from the opponent's Graveyard.
I banish 'Fallen Angel - Ukokaku' from the game."
Yeshen: "!"
Damn it, the target for resurrection is lost, and Lucifer's revival effect is nullified. This means he can't retrieve the Trap from the Deck.
Yeshen gritted his teeth.
No, stay calm. Even if his actions were hindered, the opponent's field only had Cotton Candy. Although it had formidable defense, it possessed no offensive capabilities.
On his side, however, were three powerful Fallen Angels. With Lucifer on the field, Angel cards could not be targeted by card effects. Breaking through their defenses wouldn't be easy.
Before Youxuan could speak, Cotton Candy started gloating, "Hey, even though I'm not good at attacking, my best buddy is the master of strong attacks!"
Yeshen's heart tightened.
What?
"Let me show you right now!" Cotton Candy shouted, "The power of my buddy!"
Youxuan glanced at it, "Can you still be so proud about borrowing someone else's strength?"
Cotton Candy was speechless.
Youxuan slowly raised his hand.
"Then I'll activate the effect of the Golden Cabinet of Light. Once per turn, I can add a card with 'Golden Cabinet of Light' in its text from my Deck to my hand."
He pulled out a card from his Deck and held it up.
"Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G!!!"
The moment the card was placed on the Duel Disk, the field seemed to explode. Dark purple vortexes emerged, revealing three pairs of jagged steel wings. A colossal dragon made of steel emerged from the void, each scale gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
Countless red dots appeared on the dragon's body, like countless blood-red eyes opening on its steel form. Beams of death shot out from all of them, searing heat rushing toward everyone. The air ignited, and the dark realm seemed to warp under the dragon's might.
This was the legendary ace card of the past, the Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora, in its new form, an evolution linked to the Golden Cabinet of Light!
[Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G, Attack Power: 0]
"Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G can be Special Summoned directly when the Golden Cabinet of Light is on my field", Youxuan said. "Additionally, by paying half of my Life Points, Steeladora will destroy and banish all cards on the field except itself!"
[Youxuan, LP: 2200 → LP: 1100]
Yeshen: "!?"
What!?
Destroy and banish all cards on the field...
A field-clearing ability on par with Yeshen the Eraser!
While it didn't send cards directly to the Graveyard like the Eraser, any card destroyed by this dragon would be banished from the game.
The countless red eyes on the dragon's body released a crimson glow again, and countless dark red laser beams crisscrossed the field, indiscriminately shattering everything in both players' fields!
"Of course, the Golden Cabinet of Light itself cannot be destroyed by monster effects", Youxuan added. "And although Cotton Candy was destroyed and banished, when this card is destroyed, I can Special Summon another Cotton Candy from anywhere!"
[Cotton Candy, Defense: 500]
"Then I'll inflict 1000 points of damage to you!"
[Yeshen, LP: 2600 → LP: 1600]
"Damn it... Damn it, damn it..."
Yeshen was enraged.
That stupid Cotton Candy, it could blow itself up without dying and even reflect damage.
He had never felt such loathing for any weak monster.
"Additionally, Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G's Attack Power will increase by 300 points for each card banished from both sides", Youxuan smiled.
Yeshen: "!"
All the banished cards...
"'D.D. Crow' banished Fallen Angel - Ukokaku", Youxuan said. "Then Steeladora's effect just now banished a Cotton Candy from my field, and the previously searched card, 'Hidden City - Fortified Stronghold.' On your side, Lucifer, Subbia, and Tezcatlipoca were banished, three Fallen Angels in total."
The total number of banished cards is six."
[Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G, Attack Power: 0 → Attack Power: 1800]
Yeshen was stunned.
Just like that... it was over?
Their resolve, their determination to break the seal at any cost, the darkness and humiliation they had endured for so many years...
All of it had turned to nothing in an instant.
"Battle", Youxuan waved his hand, "Destroyer Dragon - Steeladora G, direct attack."
[Yeshen, LP: 1600 → LP: 0]
