Chapter 1040: The Source of All Evil
Chapter 1040: The Source of All Evil
Archangel Krestia, destroyed!
After this intense battle, the Archangel finally made her exit. Paradox felt a wave of relief as this sinister creature vanished, making him feel much lighter.
[Youxuan, LP 13700 → LP 12500]
When the True Dragon destroys a monster in battle, it can further destroy all monsters on the opponent's field, dealing 800 points of damage for each one. This is a powerful board-clearing effect, but it is currently negated by "Skill Extraction" and cannot be used.
Skill Extraction is a double-edged sword; while it negates the opponent's effects, it also restricts your own. However, for Sin, who relies more on Attack Power suppression, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
Sin True Dragon has a base Attack Power of 5000, equivalent to the Attack Power of a Five Emperors Dragon, which is the upper limit in Yu-Gi-Oh rules. To exceed 5000 Attack Power, you would need to rely on card effects.
Therefore, under the restrictions of Skill Extraction, surpassing this Attack Power is extremely difficult.
"My Turn ends. During the End Phase, the 'Stardust Dragon' that I sacrificed returns to the field in Defense Position."
[Stardust Dragon, Defense 2000]
Paradox said in a low voice.
"I won't lose. I can't lose here, especially not to someone like you!"
Youxuan raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with someone like me?"
"It's because of people like you that Duel Monsters, and the future of this world, are in jeopardy."
Paradox spoke only a few words before realizing his emotions were getting out of control. He immediately clamped his mouth shut, shook his head, and grunted.
"It doesn't matter. You don't need to know anything. But to make the world a better place, Duelists like you are not needed!"
"Is that really true?"
Youxuan smiled and said.
"You just mentioned that in the future you know, I don't exist, yet the future still ends in destruction, right?"
Paradox paused, frowned, and said in a low voice.
"That is indeed a point of contention, and I will figure it out. But the existence of Duelists like you is definitely a cancer to the world, that much is certain."
"Is it?" Youxuan said calmly. "In my era, there are Duelists like Jaden Yuki. He always maintains his passion for Dueling and the future.
If my existence leads to the future's destruction, why hasn't his influence led future generations down the right path?
As far as I know, in the historical records you are familiar with, I am not mentioned, but Jaden Yuki has always been active, correct?"
Paradox was momentarily speechless.
"The truth is, you are just trying to avoid the problem by blaming it all on us, the predecessors."
Youxuan shook his head and continued.
"But you might not know that a Lazy Serpent predicted this over ten thousand years ago. As long as human greed, jealousy, and hatred—various forms of darkness—exist, the world will eventually be consumed by this darkness.
Even without a perpetual motion machine, there will be other means. So, even if you blame us old-timers, the future will still end in destruction."
Paradox listened, feeling even more alarmed.
It wasn't that he believed Youxuan's words were spot-on or that he was convinced by such simple statements. Rather, he realized that this person's knowledge of the future was abnormally deep.
How could an ancient relic from the past know so much? Who exactly is this person?
But he also knew that in a Duel, you must never let your opponent gain the upper hand. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm.
"Talking won't change anything. You need to win this Duel first."
Youxuan smiled.
"Is that so difficult?"
Paradox: "!"
His True Dragon is already on the field, and Skill Extraction is in effect. How can you possibly one-shot me in this situation?
"My Turn, Draw."
Youxuan glanced at his hand and said casually.
"Well, I didn't plan to use these guys so soon, as they are still a bit unstable.
But you are the bravest boss in history, so you deserve this special treatment."
Paradox gritted his teeth.
What is he talking about now? Why can't I understand him?
"Activate the Magic Card 'Monster Reborn'! Revive this card from the Graveyard that was discarded by 'Angel's Favor'."
Youxuan smiled slightly.
"Devouring the heavens and earth, annihilating all, and reducing everything to nothing—the god of destruction—
—Yeshen the Annihilator, appear!"
Paradox: "!!!"
Yeshen the Annihilator!?
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a bolt of pitch-black lightning struck the field, materializing into a twisted form, as if it had descended from the depths of hell!
[Yeshen the Annihilator, Attack Power?]
After appearing, the Annihilator lazily stretched, squinting at Youxuan.
"You're quite bold, aren't you?" it said coldly. "To summon a god so casually."
"Moving around a bit will do you old-timers some good."
Youxuan smiled and said, "Well, if you want to corrupt me, feel free to try. But before you succeed, do me a favor and do some work, okay?"
Yeshen the Annihilator grunted but didn’t respond, seemingly accepting its situation.
"Yeshen the Annihilator's Attack Power is determined by the number of cards on your field", Youxuan explained. "You have Stardust Dragon, Paradox Dragon, Skill Extraction, and Sin World, four cards in total. Therefore, Yeshen the Annihilator's Attack Power is four thousand. And gods are immune to Trap Card effects, so Skill Extraction won’t work on it."
[Yeshen the Annihilator, Attack Power 4000]
"Your ability to control Yeshen is indeed surprising. You seem to have more secrets than I thought", Paradox said. "But even so, this Yeshen is no match for the True Dragon."
Fortunately, he had switched Stardust Dragon to Defense Position when it returned to the field, a wise decision. Otherwise, Yeshen the Annihilator would have directly destroyed the Attack Position Stardust Dragon, reducing his Life Points to zero.
Youxuan continued, "Now, I activate the Equip Magic 'Sacrificial Offering' and equip it to 'Guardian Angel Joan.' When the equipped monster is used as a Tribute for a higher-level summon, this card can also be treated as a Tribute."
Youxuan waved his hand. "Therefore, I Tribute 'Yeshen the Annihilator,' 'Guardian Angel Joan,' and 'Sacrificial Offering'—three cards in total!
Shadow Opening! The ultimate aggregation of all evil in the world, the ultimate Yeshen—
—Yeshen the Divine Incarnation!!!"
Paradox's pupils constricted.
The ultimate Yeshen
A black sphere, resembling a black sun, hung high in the air, its mere presence exuding overwhelming pressure and causing a sense of dread.
"Right now, Yeshen the Annihilator's effect activates", Youxuan said. "When Yeshen the Annihilator is sent to the Graveyard, all other cards on the field are also sent to the Graveyard. This effect sends cards to the Graveyard, not destroys them, so Stardust's effect won’t activate. Of course, even if it did, it wouldn’t matter. Gods cannot be destroyed by the effects of ordinary monsters."
Yeshen the Annihilator's mire opened, swiftly swallowing everything. Stardust Dragon, True Dragon, the entire Sin World, and even Skill Extraction all vanished without a trace.
The field was left completely empty, except for the black sphere.
Yeshen the Divine Incarnation cannot be sent to the Graveyard by the effects of lower-level gods like Yeshen the Annihilator.
"Quick-Play Spell 'Quick Summon' to Normal Summon a monster from my hand", Youxuan said. "I summon 'Chaos Phantom' from my hand."
[Chaos Phantom, Attack Power 0]
"Once per turn, Chaos Phantom can copy the effect and Attack Power of an Effect Monster in its Graveyard, treating it as the same card. However, Chaos Phantom cannot deal any battle damage to the opponent."
Youxuan snapped his fingers. "I choose this card from the Graveyard—Mars the Power Agent!"
Chaos Phantom's shadow twisted and transformed into the image of the angel wielding a massive hammer from the Graveyard.
"You haven’t forgotten this card's effect, have you?" Youxuan smiled.
Paradox gritted his teeth. "The difference in Life Points between both players is converted into Attack Power."
"Exactly."
[Youxuan, LP 12500]
[Paradox, LP 1250]
[Chaos Phantom (Mars the Power Agent), Attack Power 11250]
Paradox clenched his teeth. "But even so, this card can’t deal battle damage."
"True."
Youxuan pointed to the black sphere in the sky. "But it can."
"Yeshen the Divine Incarnation, increase your Attack Power to the highest Attack Power of any monster on the field plus one."
As he spoke, the sphere transformed. The black sun morphed like a cloud of black mist, taking on the form of the Mars the Power Agent that Chaos Phantom had copied.
[Yeshen the Divine Incarnation, Attack Power 11250 → Attack Power 11251]
Paradox froze.
Is this the end?
"Battle", Youxuan said. "Yeshen the Divine Incarnation, direct Attack."
The transformed Mars the Power Agent raised a finger to the sky, and the black mist condensed into a massive hammer that floated in the air, spinning with immense force before crashing down.
Paradox looked at the hammer, feeling the trembling pressure of Yeshen, his vision beginning to blur.
"I’m sorry, Z-One."
"I’m sorry, everyone."
"I guess I’ll be the first to go."
[Paradox, LP 1250 → LP 0]
