Chapter 1031: The Resolve to Save
"Agent of Power, Mars, this card's Attack Power rises by the difference in our Life Points!"
Youxuan smiled.
"My Life Points are now 15,900, while yours are only 3,000. Therefore, Mars's Attack Power is now—"
Paradox's lips twitched.
Are you kidding me?
[Agent of Power, Mars, Attack Power: 12,900]
Attack Power of 12,900!
Paradox was genuinely shocked.
He prided himself on the overwhelming power of his Sin Deck, which essentially boiled down to high-attack suppression. The Sin Deck had no other significant features; it could summon powerful monsters with four to five thousand Attack Points almost effortlessly, and each of these monsters was a legendary spirit from its own era, providing a significant boost to the Duelist's strength.
Yet, in his area of expertise—Attack Power—someone had effortlessly used such overwhelming force to crush him, making his prideful Sin monsters seem like insignificant pests.
To summon such a monster so casually!
Youxuan remained calm.
It was a basic move, nothing to get excited about.
Paradox just wasn't a very intimidating boss. In the original anime, when the third Duel King one-hit killed the final boss, the boss screamed in shock, "Attack Power is over ten thousand!" despite being the first to challenge three Seafood Heads simultaneously. A mere ten thousand Attack Points shouldn't have been so shocking.
"Agent of Power, Mars, attack Sin Cyber End Dragon."
Youxuan waved his hand.
Mars, who had absorbed life force, instantly grew to an Attack Power of 12,900. He flapped his wings and soared into the air, raising his right hand. The giant hammer in his hand expanded several times in size, casting a vast shadow that seemed to block out the sky.
The shadow descended, and the hammer smashed through the air with a force that seemed to tear a hole in space. It fell like a mountain, making the massive Cyber End Dragon seem as insignificant as an ant.
"Youxuan wins!"
Keihei exclaimed.
Even if the Dimension Guardian could protect the Cyber End Dragon from battle damage, the damage would still be calculated, and this blow would finish the opponent.
"Don't joke around."
Paradox growled.
"I activate my Cover Card, Trap Card 'Iron Resolve'!
By paying half of my Life Points, all battle damage I receive this turn is reduced to 0, and I can force the end of the Battle Phase!"
The Trap Card activated, forming an invisible shield that blocked the impact. The Cyber End Dragon was protected by a transparent barrier, emitting a low, metallic roar.
[Paradox, LP 3,000 → LP 1,500]
"Ugh..."
Having paid half of his Life Points, Paradox felt as though a stream of life force had been drained from his body. He collapsed to his knees, feeling boneless and weak.
Paradox was inwardly alarmed.
Logically, with the Sin World destroyed, the real damage from the Duel should have disappeared. He had used technical means to achieve an effect similar to a Darkness Duel, but unlike traditional Darkness Duelists who used their own extraordinary powers, he relied on external media.
The medium was the "Sin World" card. This field card served a similar function to the barrier in Darkness Yu-Gi, but while the barrier in Darkness Yu-Gi could only be destroyed by a higher-tier Darkness power, the Sin World could be broken by simply destroying the field magic card according to Duel rules.
But now, the Sin Field was clearly destroyed, yet Paradox still felt something amiss when he lost Life Points.
He suddenly looked up at Youxuan.
"So, you're a Darkness Yu-Gi user, are you?" he said.
Youxuan smiled. "I thought you future people knew everything."
Paradox fell silent.
In truth, he didn't know enough about the Duel King before him, which was why he had immediately pointed out that the history was off. In the history he knew, there was no information about this person. All his knowledge of this generation's Duel King came from the current era's public online information, gathered through future technology.
In other words, his understanding of Youxuan came entirely from modern networks, with nothing new.
The Duel King who had defeated Kaiba Seto, saved the world multiple times, and was a leader in modern Duel Monster development, now turned out to also be a user of Darkness powers.
To Paradox, it seemed that no matter how he looked at it, this person was someone who "must not be allowed to live."
"My turn is over", Youxuan said with a smile. "Tired already?"
Paradox, half-kneeling on the ground, gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Tired? Maybe, I've been tired for a long time. But—"
He opened his eyes, and a powerful aura suddenly burst forth.
"What I carry... exceeds your imagination!"
"I won't lose, I can't lose. No matter the opponent, I must keep winning and create a world with hope."
"My turn, Draw!"
Paradox declared.
He glanced at his hand and clenched his teeth.
A monster with over ten thousand Attack Power, the Agent of Power. He had managed to keep the Cyber End Dragon, but with its mere four thousand Attack Power, it couldn't do much.
Trying to attack the Cotton Candy and deal piercing damage?
No, that wouldn't work. Not only did the opponent have nearly sixteen thousand Life Points, but the mere three thousand five hundred piercing damage would be like scratching. Moreover, Cotton Candy was an Angel, and with "Heavenly Sanctuary" on the field, any battle damage from Angels to Youxuan would be zero.
He had no card in his hand to turn the tide, so it seemed he could only switch the Cyber End Dragon to Defense Mode. At least with "Dimension Guardian" protecting the Sin Cyber End Dragon, it wouldn't be destroyed by battle. He could only hope that the opponent wouldn't have a way to destroy his back row next turn, or he would be finished.
No, that wouldn't do.
Paradox immediately crushed that thought.
Defending like a turtle, hoping the opponent wouldn't have a back row destruction card next turn...
That wasn't his style of dueling. He carried the hopes of an entire world, the future of countless people. He had crossed time with the resolve to burn his bridges, and that resolve wasn't something to be shaken by such a level of threat!
"Activate the Magic Card, 'Advanced Draw'!" Paradox declared. "By tributing a Level 8 or higher monster on the field, I draw two cards!
I tribute 'Sin Cyber End Dragon' and draw two cards!"
The massive steel body of the Cyber End Dragon dissolved into light, which then merged into his Deck. Paradox then drew two cards!
Keihei couldn't help but be surprised.
"This guy actually sacrificed such a powerful monster just to draw cards?" (End of Chapter)
