Chapter 1033: Who Would Have Thought
Chapter 1033: Who Would Have Thought
Youxuan said, "Mars, the Agent of Power, has an Attack Power determined by the difference in our Life Points. Since our Life Points have changed this turn, Mars's Attack Power has also been adjusted."
[Youxuan, LP 14900]
[Paradox, LP 1500]
[Mars, the Agent of Power, Attack Power 13400]
Paradox's expression grew serious. This change in Attack Power had little impact on the overall situation. Even a slight hit from Mars would be catastrophic for him.
"The battle continues", Youxuan said. "Mars, the Agent of Power, direct attack!"
Mars lifted his massive hammer once more, and the impact was as if the heavens and earth were trembling.
Youxuan smiled. "A future being, endowed with the combined strength of the strongest spirits from various dimensions, shouldn't disappoint me so easily, right?"
Hearing the mockery in his voice, Paradox's lips twitched, and he sneered coldly.
"Your arrogance ends here, false king.
Activate the face-down card, a Continuous Trap—
—Skill Drain!!!"
A boundless vortex erupted from the Trap card, enveloping the entire field. An indescribable pressure suppressed everything, making the world seem insignificant before this card.
Even Youxuan's expression changed slightly.
Skill Drain!
This guy actually had the legendary card, a staple for reclusive players, a weapon of mass destruction that has been active in the world of revenge since its inception and still retains its devastating power against many mainstream decks today.
No Yu-Gi-Oh! player, not just reclusive players, would fail to recognize this card. It holds a significant place in the darker side of the game.
As the game evolved, the importance of effect monsters increased dramatically. Resource retrieval, deck setup, field control, and the ability to interrupt the opponent's actions outside of their turn—all these functions have become more stable and efficient, with powerful effect monsters now surpassing magic and trap cards in importance.
In modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, a seasoned player would value a card that can negate the effects of monsters more than one that can negate magic or trap cards.
Thus, Skill Drain, which can neutralize all monster effects on the field, has not only retained its value but has become even more potent, like a fine wine that only improves with age, becoming a feared and notorious card in the game.
"Skill Drain nullifies all monster effects on the field!"
Paradox's gloomy expression vanished, and he laughed heartily.
"Your Mars, the Agent of Power, has its terrifying Attack Power entirely derived from monster effects! If those effects are negated, its base Attack Power is zero!"
[Mars, the Agent of Power, Attack Power 13400 → Attack Power 0]
Kei's face also changed slightly.
"Trouble. With all monster effects nullified, the Marshmallow's resistance to destruction, the Archangel's summoning lock, and the Agent of Power's overwhelming attack are all neutralized by a single card."
Kei couldn't help but take a serious look at Paradox.
"Such terrifying cards. Who is this guy?"
Paradox sneered, "It's not just you who has sealing moves, you know."
Just being reclusive? Who can't do that?
Youxuan said, "Then I'll Set a card and end my Turn."
"My Turn, Draw."
Paradox said.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Treasure of Adversity.' If my opponent has a Special Summoned monster and I have no monsters on the field, I can draw two cards from my Deck."
Paradox drew two more cards.
Including the previous Pot of Greed, he had drawn a substantial number of cards. He scanned his newly replenished hand, and a slight smile crept onto his lips, as if he had finally found the key card among the many he had drawn.
"I activate my second Field Spell—
—Sin World!!!"
The illusory realm dominated by Sin, the ruler of the most powerful spirits across countless dimensions, reappeared. The sacred sanctuary in the sky shattered instantly, and the holy white clouds were replaced by a Dark Domain. The snow-white palace, as if falling from the clouds, crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"The Sin World has returned, allowing me to once again control the Sin monsters."
Paradox said with a smug grin.
"Thus, I send 'Ultimate Gem-Knight Iris Dragon' from my Deck to the Graveyard. Appear—
—Sin Iris Dragon!"
Seven-colored gems rose into the air, swirling and dancing like a rainbow bridge. Under the radiant light of the rainbow, the colossal dragon descended along the colorful bridge, landing with a thunderous roar.
[Sin Iris Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
Kei exclaimed, "Even the Ultimate Gem-Knight?"
"Ha-ha-ha! This is the power of Sin, the might of the strongest spirits from all dimensions! And this—"
Paradox drew two more cards from his Deck and sent them to the Graveyard.
"I send another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' from my Deck to the Graveyard. Appear—
—Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
—Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
One black, one white, these legendary dragons from the early days of DM, known as the White Dragon of Victory and the Black Dragon of Possibility, both appeared on the field.
[Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
[Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
In an instant, three powerful dragons had arrived!
The researchers at the institute were stunned. "Summoning high-level monsters like this? What kind of deck is this?!"
The characteristics of the Sin Deck were almost beyond their usual understanding of dueling. Such powerful high-level monsters appearing so freely was a deck that defied common sense.
Youxuan raised an arm to shield himself from the hurricane of monster summoning, looking up at the three giant dragons. "Skill Drain to indiscriminately seal all monster effects, then rely on the high attack power of the Sin monsters to dominate, right?"
Indeed, it was a powerful strategy.
The Sin monsters' strength lay in their ability to easily summon high-attack monsters, but their effects often came with drawbacks. In the anime, they were somewhat stronger, but in the real card game, they would explode if there was no field or if there were more than two on the field, among other restrictions.
However, with Skill Drain, not only were the opponent's actions sealed, but the Sin monsters' own drawbacks were also nullified, making it easy to keep the opponent in check.
Reducing the opponent to blank cards and then relying on the experience of mutual ax-wielding to take them down.
"Ha-ha-ha! Even if you understand, it's too late!"
Paradox shouted.
"Sin Iris Dragon! Attack 'Mars, the Agent of Power'!"
