Chapter 1029: Sin's Weakness
Chapter 1029: Sin's Weakness
"You are a Duelist who should not exist, Fuji Youxuan."
Paradox said coldly.
"The timeline is in chaos, and I'm not sure if you are a result of this chaos or the very cause of it. But one thing is certain: your existence has certainly pushed this world closer to its destruction."
Youxuan furrowed his brow.
When Paradox said he was a Duelist who should not exist, Youxuan had already made some guesses, thinking that it might be because he was a time traveler.
Although Fuji Youxuan originally existed in this world, if not for his time travel, his original life path would have likely been unremarkable, and he would have left little trace in history.
His time travel altered Fuji Youxuan's original life trajectory and rewrote the history of Duel Monsters.
It was only natural to think this way. After all, Youxuan was not just a skilled Duelist but also a Deck developer who had created countless Decks and unlocked the potential of various monsters and Decks. Everything he did was enough to steer the history of Duel Monsters in a new direction, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the new direction of history.
"In any case, your importance is on par with the father of Duel Monsters, Becass."
Paradox glanced at the device on his wrist and continued.
"Although I don't know what role you played in the chaos of history, you must be eliminated."
Youxuan, who knew the background of this person, had a rough idea. On the other hand, Kei was completely lost and scratched his head, saying, "What was this guy talking about just now?"
But regardless, they needed to win the Duel first.
Youxuan said, "My turn, Draw."
After drawing, he paused for a moment, then looked around at the illusory Sin Field and smiled mysteriously.
For some reason, Paradox felt a strange sense of danger from this smile.
Youxuan said, "The Sin Deck, a combination of the most powerful spirits from different timelines, is indeed formidable. However, I have some expertise in spirit control and Deck development.
I see that your Deck's development follows a brute-force binding approach, forcibly kidnapping these spirits from different timelines to serve you, right?"
He had seen similar methods before. For instance, the designer Franz, who collaborated with the International Fantasy Corporation to develop the Winged Dragon Deck, initially conceived a field card called "God-Binding Tomb" to bind gods.
For the Sin Deck, the Sin World was Paradox's God-Binding Tomb.
Paradox snorted, "So what if it is?"
"If it is, then losing the field's binding means your spirits will immediately lose control. That's a pretty obvious weakness."
Youxuan smiled and shook the card in his hand, then said seriously.
"Field Spell—
—Heavenly Sanctuary!"
Paradox's eyes widened in shock.
Oh no!
In an instant, a brilliant white light descended, like the halo of an angel. White mist rose, enveloping a snow-white palace bathed in holy light, akin to a celestial realm.
The Heavenly Sanctuary was a dedicated field for the Angel Race, representing the sacred heavens in the card story, opposing the demon-ruled world of the Demon Hall.
Of course, this card was not the reason for Paradox's sudden heart palpitations.
Under the current Duel rules, only one field spell could exist on the field at a time. When a new field was activated, the old one had to be destroyed.
Thus, with the activation of the Heavenly Sanctuary, his Sin World was destroyed by the rules!
Sure enough, in the next moment, the black, tainted portions of Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Sin Cyber End Dragon began to vanish at an alarming rate as the Sin Field was destroyed. They quickly reverted to their original forms. Both the White Dragon and Cyber End Dragon let out furious roars before exploding into fragments with a loud boom.
"So that's it!" Kei exclaimed. "This guy can summon all sorts of powerful creatures, but he’s bound by the Sin Field. Once the field disappears, they’re immediately destroyed."
This was different from the real cards. In the real card game, as long as the Sin Field Magic was in play, Sin monsters could exist. So even if you replaced the Sin World with a new field, the Sin monsters wouldn’t self-destruct.
But in the anime, it was different. The Sin monsters in the anime had abilities far superior to their real counterparts, but at the cost of being dependent on the Sin World. Without the Sin World on the field, all Sin monsters would immediately self-destruct.
"Truly worthy of being both the Duel King and the world’s strongest card designer, Youxuan!"
Kei was once again in awe.
"Just by understanding the theory of the cards, he saw through the design of the opponent’s Deck and deduced that the field was the opponent’s weakness."
Youxuan’s strength wasn’t just in his skills as a Duelist; it also lay in his deep knowledge of card design and the foundational theories of Duel monsters.
Of course, Kei didn’t know that it wasn’t quite so mysterious. Youxuan knew this because he had read the original work, so even with a future Deck, he knew the weaknesses.
"Damn it."
As the smoke cleared, Paradox’s face was grim. His White Dragon was indeed gone, but the Cyber End Dragon remained stubbornly on the field.
"Continuous Trap, 'Dimension Guardian'", Paradox said with a grim expression. "This card prevents one of my monsters from being destroyed by battle or card effects."
"I’m using 'Dimension Guardian' to protect 'Sin Cyber End Dragon' from being destroyed by its own effect."
"Hmm, at least you managed to keep one monster on the field", Youxuan said. "Even if it’s just one, it’s still a Cyber End Dragon with 4000 Attack. This could be a problem."
He calmly drew another card from his hand.
"Let’s try this then.
Activate Continuous Magic, 'Fountain of Heaven'!"
A misty sanctuary appeared, and a fountain of green water sprang up, gushing like a spring.
"Summon 'Light Angel' in Attack Position!"
Under the radiant light, an angel with a halo and pure white wings flew onto the field, fitting seamlessly into the sacred arena.
[Light Angel, Attack Power 1400]
"Battle", Youxuan said. "Light Angel, attack 'Sin Cyber End Dragon'!"
Paradox: "!?"
Using a 1400 Attack monster to challenge his Cyber End Dragon?
What is this guy thinking?
Paradox gritted his teeth and replied, "Then take this!
Sin Eternal Evolution Shockwave!"
The Cyber End Dragon unleashed a blast of flames and black lightning, easily melting the Light Angel. There were no surprises or unexpected turns; the Shockwave effortlessly shattered the Light Angel.
Paradox grew even more confused.
No comeback? Just a waste?
