Chapter 1098: The Miracle of One Turn
Chapter 1098: The Miracle of One Turn
"Slumbering Giant Gudon!"
Long Ya’s eyes widened as he stared at the card his opponent had revealed. His mouth dropped open.
Gudon... Gudon!?
"Huh!?" Long Ya clutched his head in shock. "Who would actually use a card like this!?"
The Slumbering Giant Gudon, a monster often compared to a Godlike Deity in terms of power, was surprisingly not rare. Instead, it was designed to be a common card that everyone had at least one of. Long Ya himself owned several.
However, due to its extremely harsh summoning conditions, it had long been deemed impractical in real duels.
This guy actually wants to use a card like this!?
His glasses-wearing classmate, who was one of the top students in their Duel Academy class, was quicker to react. "Wait, that’s not right."
"The summoning condition for Gudon is that you need to tribute a Level 1 Normal Monster that has been on the field for more than ten turns. No one would reveal a Gudon from their hand right at the start of a duel."
This was the summoning condition for Gudon from the 5DS anime.
"Hehe, indeed", You Xuan chuckled. "This classmate of yours is quite knowledgeable about dueling. However, the Gudon in my hand is slightly different from what you know."
After all, it was a custom-printed card with its own unique effects.
"The Slumbering Giant Gudon in my hand has the effect of allowing me to reveal this card from my hand once per turn, and then select a Level 1 monster on my field to place a Gudon Counter on it.
The Slumbering Giant Gudon can only be Special Summoned by tributing a monster on my field that has ten Gudon Counters."
Long Ya was puzzled and spent a moment counting on his fingers.
"But isn’t that the same thing?"
He looked up, confused.
"Revealing the card each turn and placing a Gudon Counter on a Level 1 monster. By that logic, it still requires the Level 1 monster to be on the field for ten turns before I can summon Gudon."
"No, it’s different", the glasses-wearing classmate explained with a complex expression.
"With the Gudon I know, even if you haven’t drawn it yet, you can start summoning Level 1 monsters to accumulate turns. But with this Gudon, you have to draw it first and then keep a Level 1 monster on the field for ten turns, which makes it much harder."
Long Ya nodded. "Ah, right! That makes sense."
"It’s not just that", the classmate continued. "Normally, even if you summon a Level 1 monster, most people wouldn’t think you’re trying to summon Gudon. As far as I know, no one has ever managed to do it, making it practically impossible.
If the opponent doesn’t suspect your intention to summon Gudon, they won’t try to counter your strategy. But with this Gudon, you have to reveal it from your hand from the very first turn."
"Right, right!" Long Ya suddenly realized. "So you’re giving up the advantage of keeping your strategy hidden."
The classmate, despite his quick thinking, was also thoroughly confused.
The summoning conditions for the Slumbering Giant Gudon were so different. They had never learned about this in Duel Academy. Could this really be possible?
Moreover, the opponent’s deck was almost depleted, with only a few cards left. Even if he managed to keep a Level 1 monster on the field for ten turns, he probably didn’t have ten more cards to draw.
"Hahaha, you’re a sharp one", You Xuan smiled.
"Indeed, according to the history of dueling, no one has ever successfully summoned Gudon in a public setting. But today, I hope you remember that the world of dueling is full of infinite possibilities. As long as you think, nothing is impossible."
Youxuan then revealed two more cards from his hand.
"I'm activating the effects of two more 'Slumbering Giant Gudon' cards from my hand.
I'll show you the two additional Gudon cards and place two more Gudon Counters on my 'Bones' on the field."
The bespectacled student: "!!!"
The bespectacled student was already shocked, but Long Ya was still confused. "Huh? What's going on?"
"Right, even with all the aforementioned disadvantages, if you're placing counters, you can place up to three counters on the same monster in one turn as long as you have multiple Gudon cards in your hand."
The bespectacled student explained.
"This greatly reduces the number of turns needed to summon Gudon!"
Long Ya was surprised. "Huh? That doesn't sound good for me at all."
"But even so, it would still take at least four of the opponent's turns", the bespectacled student calmly stated. "Even if he manages to draw three Gudon cards, he can only place three counters per turn."
Youxuan interrupted, "Not necessarily."
Long Ya and the bespectacled student: "!!!"
"In the world of Dueling, anything is possible if you think about it. Use your imagination and creativity, kids."
Youxuan said with a smile.
"Next, I activate the Magic Card 'Hammer of Plenty'!
I'll shuffle any number of cards from my hand, including this card, back into my Deck, then draw the same number of cards." (Original effect)
Youxuan shuffled several cards, including the Hammer of Plenty, back into his Deck. The Deck automatically shuffled, and he drew new cards.
"Then, I draw again!"
He immediately revealed three cards from his hand.
"Three 'Slumbering Giant Gudon' cards from my hand were shuffled back into the Deck via the 'Hammer of Plenty' effect, and I've now drawn them back into my hand, resetting their 'once per turn' effects.
Therefore, I'll show you the three 'Slumbering Giant Gudon' cards from my hand again and place three more Gudon Counters on my 'Bones'!"
[Bones, Gudon Counters 3 → 6]
Long Ya and the bespectacled student: "!!!!"
Wait, is that even possible!?
Shuffling back into the Deck and drawing them again resets the effects.
"Ah, this is bad! Six counters in one turn!"
Long Ya was pulling his hair out.
"How can he be so lucky? He shuffles them back with the Hammer of Plenty and immediately draws them back."
"It's not luck."
The bespectacled student struggled to say.
"Look at his Deck, there are only a few cards left."
Long Ya: "!"
Ah, that's it.
Long Ya's mouth slowly opened as he finally realized the terrifying truth.
Yes, his Deck was almost empty, with only a few cards left.
So no matter how many times the Hammer of Plenty shuffled them back, he would always draw the Gudon cards again.
"The Hammer of Plenty effect, drawing again."
Youxuan continued.
"Then, I'll show you the three 'Slumbering Giant Gudon' cards from my hand again and place three more Gudon Counters on 'Bones'."
[Bones, Gudon Counters 6 → 9]
Long Ya and the bespectacled student: "."
This way, it wouldn't just be ten counters; it could be twenty, fifty, or even a hundred, all within one turn.
"Last time, showing the Gudon cards from my hand and placing one more Gudon Counter on Bones, making it the tenth."
[Bones, Gudon Counters 10]
"Then, by sacrificing Bones with ten Gudon Counters, I summon—
—Slumbering Giant Gudon!!!"
One turn, Gudon summoned!
