Chapter 1079: The Power of Sin
"Absorb Sin·Cyber End Dragon's Attack Power and convert it to my Life Points!"
Dewain's Life Points instantly rose to 6,400, which seemed to give him a significant sense of security.
"Then, in the moment Sin·Cyber End Dragon is destroyed in battle, my Trap Card activates."
Youxuan flicked his finger, and a face-down card on his back row flipped up.
"Trap Card: Sin·Tuner.
When a Sin monster I control is destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard, I draw two cards."
Youxuan drew two cards.
He then reminded Dewain, "However, Gigantification has a side effect.
Now that your Life Points have surpassed mine, the Attack Power of the monster equipped with Gigantification is halved."
【Psycho World Devil, Attack Power 5400 → Attack Power 2700 → Attack Power 1350】
Dewain grunted.
"I don't need you to tell me that. I'm well aware. I'll place three more face-down cards. My turn ends!"
"Then it's my turn, Draw."
Youxuan drew a card, pausing slightly and glancing behind him.
"Well, we've been dueling for a while, so it's about time we caught their attention."
"What?"
Dewain's voice grew dark.
"Godwin, what are you up to?"
"Nothing much", Youxuan replied calmly. "I might as well tell you. There's a telekinetic Duelist in your organization I've been looking for. I plan to invite her to the 'Lucky Cup' tournament I'm hosting, hoping to bring out her full potential."
Dewain was taken aback. Recalling the mention of Shizukana's father being a senator, he was suddenly alarmed. "You're after Shizukana? The Public Security Bureau wants the Power of the Red Dragon—this is true, then?"
"Personally, I hope to see her unleash her full potential as a Dragon Marked. The abilities she has shown so far are just a fraction of her true potential. But I think you, Dewain, understand better than anyone that a person's potential is maximized when they are cornered and driven to the brink of despair.
That's why you secretly conduct experiments on people with telekinetic abilities, forcing them to break their limits, even if it means killing them, right?"
Dewain's expression shifted, and he said, "Are you suggesting you want to conduct similar experiments on Shizukana? If that's all you want, we don't need to be enemies. I share your goal of developing her full potential."
"Is that so? I'd be delighted if you were willing to cooperate, as you are a key figure in my plan", Youxuan said with a light laugh.
Dewain frowned. "What do you mean?"
"You appeared at Shizukana's loneliest moment, bringing her into the Eden's Movement family. Even though she doesn't know your true nature, I believe she sees you as a parental figure.
You, Dewain, are her current emotional anchor, the only person she cares about in this world she despises.
Now, imagine what would happen if I destroyed that anchor."
Dewain was shocked. "You're insane, Godwin! Shizukana won't forgive you. No, the Eden's Movement won't forgive you!"
"I've never liked your so-called Eden. You should have realized this day would come when you tried to blackmail the Public Security Bureau with my secrets.
As for Shizukana seeking revenge at all costs?"
He chuckled softly.
"That's exactly what I want. If she can further evolve and transform, it will be thanks to you, Dewain."
"Dewain gritted his teeth and snarled, 'You act like you’ve already won, but the Duel isn’t over yet!'
'Perhaps from your perspective. Or maybe it’s already over, and you just haven’t realized it yet.'
Youxuan drew another card from his hand.
'I activate the Magic Card, Circulating Treasure Card. Draw two cards from my Deck. However, if I don’t send one card to the Graveyard by the end of the Turn, I’ll take 3000 points of damage.'
'Next, I’ll activate the effect of ‘Sin·Stardust Dragon’ in my hand. By sending ‘Stardust Dragon’ from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon ‘Sin·Stardust Dragon’!'
Shimmering starlight formed a descending path on the field, and the Stardust Dragon’s wings sliced through the light. The noble silver dragon, cloaked in the darkness tainted by sin, spiraled up to hover above Youxuan.
[Sin·Stardust Dragon, Attack Power 2500]
The Stardust Dragon held a unique significance in this era. However, Dewain had never met Yusei Fudo and didn’t know that this dragon was Yusei’s ace, nor did he understand its special qualities.
Of course, if he had known about Stardust, he wouldn’t have made the following foolish move.
'Ha-ha-ha!' Dewain laughed. 'Your Deck has the ability to quickly summon high-level monsters. You really think I wouldn’t be prepared for that?
I activate my back-row card! The Trap Card, Torrential Tribute! When a monster is summoned, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned, all monsters on the field are destroyed!'
The Equip Magic, Gigantification, was a double-edged sword. It could instantly strengthen a monster, turning the tide, but if the opponent’s Life Points surpassed his own, the monster would become weak and vulnerable, exposed on the field.
Dewain, of course, had considered this and set up a Trap as a defensive measure to counter this weakness.
However,
Snap.
Youxuan snapped his fingers crisply. 'Then I activate the effect of ‘Sin·Stardust Dragon’. When an effect that would destroy cards is activated, I can send ‘Sin·Stardust Dragon’ to the Graveyard to negate and destroy that effect!'
Dewain’s eyes widened in shock. 'What? This dragon has that ability!?'
The Sin monsters in the real card game didn’t have the effects of their original monsters, but in the anime, the Sin monsters all inherited the abilities of their prototypes, just like the Stardust Dragon’s effect.
'Sin·Sacrifice Sanctuary!'
A torrent of rushing water surged from Dewain’s back-row Trap, as if it would sweep all the monsters into a vortex of destruction. But in the next moment, Sin·Stardust Dragon flapped its wings, and its scales burst into starlight. Its body transformed into countless glittering star fragments, weaving a translucent barrier of light within the field. The light particles continuously resisted the encroaching flood, and the dragon’s roar echoed through the field until the last bit of Torrential Tribute’s power was nullified.
'Argh...'
Dewain’s face darkened as the turn of the tide was thwarted.
'But this is just the beginning.'
Youxuan smiled and shook the two cards in his hand. The Duel Disk automatically searched his Deck, and two more cards were drawn and placed into his hand.
'I send ‘Red-Eyes Black Dragon’ and ‘Ultimate Rainbow Dragon’ from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then I Special Summon these two cards from my hand! Rise,
Sin·Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
Sin·Ultimate Rainbow Dragon!'
