Chapter 1077: The Power of Privilege?
Chapter 1077: The Power of Privilege?
Dewain's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the other man's bold stance.
Does he really intend to attack me here?
In my own stronghold? Against the leader of the Psychic Duelists?
Who gave him such audacity?
Initially, Dewain had these thoughts. But in the next moment, the recent scene flashed through his mind.
Officer Godwin catching the fireball he had launched, then crushing it with his bare hands.
Something is definitely off with this officer today.
Dewain felt a growing unease, and as time passed, his eyes failed to adjust to the surrounding darkness. Instead, the darkness seemed to deepen, and even the city lights outside the window seemed to fade, as if the entire building had plunged into an abyss.
"Fine, it looks like a battle is inevitable today."
Dewain took a deep breath, raised his Duel Disk, and declared, "Then let's get it on. I've been curious about the abilities of the Law Enforcement Bureau's chief for a while."
"Duel!" (x2)
[Youxuan, LP 4000]
[Dewain, LP 4000]
Dewain's Duel Disk indicator lit up. He glanced at it and smiled, "Heh, it seems the goddess of victory has been on my side from the start."
"I'll go first. Draw!"
Dewain drew a card and immediately summoned a monster from his hand.
"Normal Summon the Tuner monster, Clairvoyant, in Attack Position!"
The summoned monster was a clown-like figure wearing a purple hat. Its appearance resembled a circus clown, with half its face hidden by a monocle and hat. Despite the visible pale skin and a nearly grotesque smile, it was engaged in a juggling act with balls.
[Clairvoyant, Attack Power 800]
"I set two cards and end my Turn."
Youxuan: "My Turn. Draw."
Dewain focused intently on the officer across from him.
Officer Godwin. Dewain had specifically gathered extensive information about this man, but his Duel records were virtually blank. It seemed no one had ever seen the chief engage in a public Duel, and the composition of his Deck remained a complete mystery.
Well, if he hasn't fought much, it probably means his skills are average.
Dewain chuckled, "Come on, Chief. Let me see what your Deck can do."
Youxuan smiled faintly.
"As you wish."
He drew a card from his hand.
"I activate the Magic Card, Planet Modification. I can add any Field Spell from my Deck to my hand."
Youxuan's Deck began an automatic search, and soon a card was ejected into his hand.
"I activate the Field Spell, Sin World!"
A black wave swept across the entire space, as if virtual buildings were rising from the ground. Both duelists stood on a transparent street, with strange lights filling the streets.
"Sin World?"
Dewain looked at the field that now dominated the Duel area, sensing a faintly ominous aura. He tried to recall, but he couldn't remember any related Deck series.
"Sin World is the domain of sin. Sin monsters can only unleash their full power in this field."
Youxuan casually revealed a card between his fingers.
"I Special Summon the Sin Cyber End Dragon from my hand by sending a Cyber End Dragon from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard."
The Extra Deck slot of the Duel Disk ejected a card, which Youxuan briefly displayed before sending it to the Graveyard.
"Arise in the eternal black flames—
— Sin Cyber End Dragon!!!
A flash of lightning, and the silver-white three-headed dragon seemed to emerge from the other side of spacetime. Its three metallic heads tore through the light barrier, the sharp mechanical roar mingled with the thunder of turbine engines, and every piece of armor on its body shone like polished liquid mercury. The alloy spine unfolded joint by joint, and the friction of the metal joints sparked blue and purple electric sparks.
Sin Cyber End Dragon, summon!
[Sin Cyber End Dragon, Attack 4000]
The powerful wind pressure exceeded that of a holographic image, and the materialized force nearly suffocated Dewain, who was accustomed to the real impact of Duels. He raised his arm to shield himself, his red hair disheveled by the scorching wind, and his face was a mask of shock.
"An Attack Power of 4000 monster summoned directly with no cost!?"
This completely exceeded his understanding of the norms of Duels.
Was there really a Deck this unreasonable in the world?
And what about this pressure, this storm?
As a Psychic Duelist, Dewain could sense that this steel dragon was not just a holographic image but a materialized monster, possessing a power similar to their psychics. However, it seemed to be more than just materialization; the oppressive force and the shock it caused when faced directly were unmatched by any ordinary psychic materialized monster.
In fact, Youxuan had also observed that so-called "Psychic Duel" was, while a natural superpower that required no cultivation, still an inferior version compared to traditional Dark Duels.
Firstly, the upper limit of Psychic Duels was lower, unable to materialize forces capable of destroying the world like Dark Duels. Secondly, the mechanism of psychics was more rudimentary.
In Psychic Duels, the monsters were simply materialized, dealing pure physical damage, unlike traditional Dark Duels. In Dark Duels, the destruction often seen was merely a side effect; the truly powerful Dark Duelists preferred to attack on the mental and spiritual levels.
Just like that six-year-old Mr. Ma back then.
In a Dark Duel, when an opponent's LP reaches zero, even if they show no external injuries, they are essentially beyond saving. The LP lost in a Duel also represents the Duelist's true life.
But Psychic Duels were different. When a Psychic Duelist's LP reaches zero, they are often covered in injuries but not necessarily dead, as the HP in these Duels is not directly linked to their real life.
"By the effect of 'Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand, I can send 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my Deck to the Graveyard, and this card can be Special Summoned without any cost."
Youxuan sent another card from his Deck to the Graveyard.
"Special Summon 'Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon'!"
Another storm seemed to break through the time barrier, and from the vortex of black and white, the White Dragon's body soared into the sky. Its broad bone wings spread, and the White Dragon let out a long roar.
[Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"Again!?"
Dewain involuntarily took two steps back.
Were these huge monsters just popping out like they were free, and could they really act so recklessly?
Was this someone abusing their authority as an officer?
Was this the power of privilege?
"Battle", Youxuan said. "Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack 'Clairvoyant'!"
