Chapter 1119: The True God
## Chapter 1119: The True God
Sensing the change in Boma’s aura, Youxuan was unsurprised. "Oh? Deciding to take the helm yourself, Yeshen?"
This Yeshen was the mastermind behind the Earthbound Gods, the one who gathered the Dark Markers. In the anime, whenever a Dark Marker’s heart was freed and their will to fight was lost, this boss would personally take over, overriding their consciousness to continue the duel.
Of course, in the anime, this boss was the type who seemed impressive when they appeared but had a record of 0-5. They never won a single duel when they took over.
Perhaps that’s why, despite having the ability to seize control of the Dark Markers’ minds from the start and use them as puppets, they chose instead to orchestrate elaborate schemes and create misunderstandings, making the Dark Markers fight willingly.
Maybe it was because they didn’t have confidence in their own skills.
"Hmph, you have some talent, more than I expected, Godwin", Yeshen, now controlling Boma, sneered.
"But now that the Earthbound God has appeared, the duel is over.
Place a card face down, End Turn."
"The Earthbound God, so a mere being bound to the earth dares to call itself a god?" Youxuan closed his eyes and sneered. "It seems I need to broaden your horizons a bit and show you, you old relic of hell, what truly deserves to be called a ‘god’."
"Nani?" Yeshen was taken aback.
Youxuan: "My Turn, Draw."
A card in Youxuan’s Graveyard automatically exited.
"The ‘Nether Frog’ in my Graveyard can be Special Summoned when I have no cards in my Spell & Trap Zone. Special Summon ‘Nether Frog’!"
[Nether Frog, Attack Power 100]
Although the field spell, High Speed World, was still in effect, it was a shared field, not belonging to either player. Therefore, it didn’t count as a Spell & Trap Card on Youxuan’s field for the purpose of this judgment.
"Also, during the Standby Phase, the ‘Killer Snake’ in my Graveyard returns to my hand."
"At this moment, my Speed Counters have reached six. So, I activate the high-speed spell ‘Downshift’ from my hand!" Youxuan said. "By removing all six Speed Counters, I draw two cards."
Youxuan used all his Speed Counters, causing the D-Wheel to decelerate and fall behind Boma’s chariot.
Youxuan drew two cards.
"Using all your Speed Counters", Yeshen, controlling Boma, sneered. "Giving up the ability to use Spell Cards, are you?"
"Because I no longer need them", Youxuan replied.
"Nani?"
Youxuan: "The ‘Ghost Frog’ in my hand can discard a Water attribute monster from my hand to Special Summon itself.
I discard the ‘Killer Snake’ I just recovered and Special Summon ‘Ghost Frog’!"
[Ghost Frog, Attack Power 1000]
"When ‘Ghost Frog’ is summoned, I can send a Water attribute Level 2 or lower monster from my Deck to the Graveyard.
I send ‘Purify Frog’ from my Deck to the Graveyard."
"Then, I activate ‘Purify Frog’s effect from the Graveyard. By banishing a ‘Frog’ monster from the Graveyard, ‘Purify Frog’ can Special Summon itself.
I banish ‘Death Frog’ from the Graveyard and Special Summon ‘Purify Frog’!"
[Purify Frog, Attack Power 100]
Youxuan took a deep breath.
"With that, the preparations are almost complete. So, as we agreed earlier..."
Youxuan smiled slyly.
"Let me show you a ‘god’."
"A god that surpasses the Earthbound God?" Yeshen sneered. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Release the three monsters: ‘Nether Frog’, ‘Ghost Frog’, and ‘Purify Frog’!"
Youxuan raised his arm high.
"Ultimate Incarnation of Fear, the Quaking God—
—Yeshen, Root of Fear, summon!!"
Darkness, thick as asphalt, descended from the sky, as if all light sources were flowing in reverse, drawing everything in the world into the outline of Yeshen.
The world resounded with a thunderous sound like fabric being torn, and what emerged was hardly a living being. Skeletal bones covered a humanoid torso, and below the divine form was an endless, rapidly spreading mud swamp, filled with purple lightning that resembled exposed nerves.
The true Yeshen, a divine attribute Yeshen beast, an embodiment of evil that bears the name Yeshen in its card title.
Yeshen, Root of Fear, summon!
[Yeshen, Root of Fear, Attack Power 4000]
Even the oppressive aura of the Earthbound God was completely overshadowed. The massive form seemed to be a conglomeration of infinite evil, a culmination of all the fears of living beings.
Even Youxuan and Jack felt their feet rooted to the ground, a chill of dread rising uncontrollably from within, making it hard to breathe.
The Earthbound God that appeared on the opposite side was already a terrifying being that challenged their understanding of Duel monsters so far, the most frightening thing they had ever seen.
And now, Godwin casually pulled out a monster ten times more terrifying than that!
This was a Duel that had surpassed their known realm.
Yes, a Duel that could truly be called reaching the "realm of the gods."
"Yeshen, Root of Fear, reduces the Attack Power of all other monsters on the field by half", Youxuan said.
[Earthbound God - Chaku Chaluya, Attack Power 2900 → Attack Power 1450]
Even Yeshen had to admit, it felt fear.
The terror emanating from the Yeshen called Root of Fear, an existence that seemed to belong to a different dimension, was so overwhelming that just looking at it made one feel as if they were falling into hell.
"No!"
Boma's eyes almost seemed to ignite with purple flames. Under the pressure, he shouted.
"But even if the Attack Power is reduced, it's useless! Earthbound God - Chaku Chaluya cannot be targeted for an attack!"
"Hmm", Youxuan said coldly. "If I can't attack it, then I'll attack you instead.
Yeshen, Root of Fear, attack Boma, no, attack the Yeshen controlling Boma directly!"
Root of Fear let out a deep, resonant roar.
It was conveying to Youxuan that he shouldn't misunderstand—this wasn't an act of obedience, but rather a sense of annoyance that something so insignificant dared to call itself a Yeshen.
This doesn't mean we've made peace!
Youxuan smiled indifferently.
It doesn't matter. You can say whatever you want.
So, Yeshen, Root of Fear, unleashed a punch.
A wave of pure, fear-driven will surged forth, overwhelming and corrosive, eroding everything in its path.
But Yeshen still struggled: "Activate the Cover Card!
Trap Card 'Universal Mine - Claymore'!
When the opponent declares an attack, destroy the monster with the highest Attack Power on their field!"
Yeshen laughed.
"Earthbound God cannot be targeted for an attack, so I might be the one locked onto. Did you think I wouldn't consider this?
I don't know where you got this fake god from, but I'll have it destroyed."
Youxuan remained expressionless. "A god is not affected by any Trap effects."
"What!?"
Boma's distorted face changed again.
Completely ignoring the mine's activation, Yeshen's punch struck without any hindrance, a tidal wave of power piercing through Boma's body.
"Roar—"
[Boma, LP 1700 → LP 0]
