Chapter 1137: Divine Wisdom
Chapter 1137: Divine Wisdom
Placido had only one copy of the core card "Mechemperor Sengoku∞." However, even if the components ended up in the Graveyard, he could still recall all of them to the field by adding another "Wisdom Core" and destroying it.
But if he had previously judged that the impact was minimal and didn’t use a counter trap, allowing the Grand Cosmos to pass, the duel would have been all but over.
Placido's entire deck revolved around Divine Wisdom. It either consisted of components to enhance Mechemperor Sengoku∞ or supporting magic and trap cards. Without Divine Wisdom, his deck would lose most of its fighting power.
Thinking of this, Placido looked at the burning Demon God on the field and the Grand Cosmos he had just countered, feeling a chill of fear.
What a damn late realization.
Youxuan squinted his eyes, smiling as he watched Placido's furious expression, as if admiring his own masterpiece.
This expression only made Placido angrier, feeling as though Youxuan was toying with him like a monkey. For Placido, the most prideful of the three Mechemperors, this was unbearable.
But Youxuan wasn’t just enjoying Placido's anger out of malice. He was confirming his judgment through Placido's reaction.
Placido indeed had only one copy of "Mechemperor Sengoku∞."
From the anime, it seemed that such a crucial card would only have one copy, but Youxuan couldn’t be certain based on the anime alone. After all, this dimension might not be entirely consistent with the anime. However, seeing Placido's reaction, it seemed that Mechemperor indeed had no backup.
But the next scene was a bit unexpected.
"Due to 'Mechemperor Sengoku∞' being tributed by the Lava Demon God and leaving the field, the remaining Mechemperor components on my field were destroyed by their own effects.
And this card in my hand can be Special Summoned when a monster on my field is sent to the Graveyard due to a card effect!
Reveal yourself—
—Mechemperor Sengoku∞ Fusion Form!"
Youxuan: "?"
He had to admit, he was genuinely surprised this time.
The card had the same name as the destroyed Mechemperor torso, "Mechemperor Sengoku∞", but this time, it wasn’t just a torso.
It was the fully fused Mechemperor Sengoku!
And it wasn’t five cards, but a single monster card that occupied one monster zone, already in its fused and transformed form.
A modified and real-card version of Mechemperor Sengoku, something that didn’t appear in the anime.
[Mechemperor Sengoku∞, Defense 2500]
"Interesting", Youxuan chuckled.
Indeed, what had he said before?
The anime can only be used as a reference, not taken as gospel. The opponent might not always follow the anime's portrayal.
"Even forcing me to use the fused form of Sengoku", Placido said darkly, "your skill is indeed impressive. But Mechemperor won’t lose to a despicable cheat like you."
"Calling your opponent that is quite harsh", Youxuan feigned innocence.
He was just playing the game seriously, so how was he a cheat?
Youxuan: "I'll set a card and end my turn."
Placido: "My turn, draw!"
"During the Standby Phase, the effect of the Lava Demon God", Youxuan said. "The Lava Demon God inflicts 1000 points of damage to its controller during the Standby Phase."
"Enjoy the lava hospitality, now!"
Placido: "!"
He suddenly looked up at the iron golem above him, seeing that the golem's body was indeed pouring lava down onto the forehead of his ghost robot.
[Ghost, LP 200]
With only 200 Life Points left, how could he withstand this torrent of lava? Placido, who had just escaped one crisis, was once again on the brink of life and death!
"Ah, don't underestimate me!"
Placido roared.
"Activate the Cover Card, Counter Trap 'Damage Polar Shield'!
Negate the effect of the damage and both players draw one card from their decks!"
A round shield appeared above the ghost, and the scorching lava from the Lava Demon God splashed over the shield, falling to the sides of the black iron cage and burning red holes into it.
"Another close call, huh? Not easy at all."
Youxuan drew a card and smiled.
"Are you some kind of cockroach?"
"Laughing at me like that!"
Placido was even more enraged.
"I'll wipe that smile off your face right now!"
"Battle!" Placido shouted. "Use 'Lava Demon God' to Attack 'Chaos Warrior'!"
The Chaos Warrior, bound by the Demon Clan Chain, had lost much of its luster. Despite this, when the enemy approached, it showed no fear. Struggling against the chains, it managed to draw its sword and swing it at the oncoming Lava Demon God.
"Even when bound by the Demon Clan Chain, a monster's Attack Power remains unaffected", Youxuan said calmly.
With equal Attack Power, the battle would end in a mutual destruction.
"Hmph! Of course I know that!"
Placido controlled the ghost to play another card from his hand.
"Quick-Play Spell 'Concentration Socket'! Increase the Attack Power of one monster on my field by its own Defense Power, but as a cost, other monsters on my field cannot Attack this turn.
I increase the Attack Power of 'Lava Demon God' by its own Defense Power of 2500 points!"
As soon as this card was played, the Lava Demon God burst with golden electricity. The iron golem let out a roar as energy poured into its body, making it grow to twice its size.
[Lava Demon God, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 5500]
The Lava Demon God's punch came down with devastating force, shattering the Chaos Warrior's sword. The chains binding the Chaos Warrior snapped, and the warrior was sent flying backward.
"At this moment, I activate the Continuous Trap 'Deadly Team Swap'."
Youxuan revealed another Cover Card from his backfield.
"When a monster on my field in Attack Position is destroyed by battle, I negate that battle damage.
Then, I Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from my hand."
The flames from the Lava Demon God's punch were absorbed by the Trap's wave, forming a vortex of fire that disappeared into the Trap.
Youxuan waved and placed another monster card from his hand.
"Special Summon 'Iron Knight Kiyafried'!"
A black-armored warrior emerged from the summoning vortex on the Duel Disk, his sword slicing through the air as if cutting through starlight, scattering countless star fragments around him.
[Iron Knight Kiyafried, Attack Power 1800]
