Chapter 1143: The Altar of the God

"Absorb the Shieldwing Strangebird!"

The massive spider-woman shot out her web, binding the Shieldbird and pulling it towards herself to absorb as equipment.

Autumn's heart skipped a beat. "Such a powerful ability?"

Impressive!

Rudger laughed heartily. "A Turn with two defenses destroyed, the Shieldwing Strangebird is indeed a formidable defensive monster. You were probably planning to use it next Turn as a tribute or a Synchro material, right?

But such monsters are no match for the power of the Underworld!"

Rudger gestured to the spider-woman on his field and added, "And due to the Field Spell 'Spider Web,' the 'Underground Arachne' that attacked has been forced into Defense Position."

[Underground Arachne, Defense 1200]

Rudger then waved his hand and set two more cards in his back row.

"Set two cards, my Turn ends."

Autumn covered her mouth, a bit worried. "Godevin..."

Youxuan seemed to notice her concern and reassured her, "Don't worry. I've seen Rex Godevin duel before; he's very strong."

Autumn nodded.

Indeed, she was probably more aware of this than anyone. This person's strength likely surpassed her own, and perhaps even all the Dragon Markers present.

He was likely the best person to deal with the Dark Markers' leader.

"My Turn, Draw."

Youxuan glanced at the card he drew and immediately revealed it.

"Activate Spell Card 'Take Over 5,' sending the top five cards from my Deck to the Graveyard."

Youxuan drew five cards at once, quickly scanned them, and sent each one to the Graveyard.

"One of the cards sent to the Graveyard is 'Scholar Sprite,'" Youxuan said. "When this monster is sent to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck."

Youxuan drew an additional card.

"Then, Normal Summon 'Phantom Shooter' from my hand!"

The classic little devil from the GX dimension flapped its demonic wings and landed lightly on the field.

[Phantom Shooter, Attack 1100]

"When Phantom Shooter is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon an equal number of 'Shooter Tokens' based on the number of monsters I control on the field.

Since I have one Phantom Shooter, I can Special Summon one 'Shooter Token.'"

[Shooter Token, Attack 500]

Youxuan paused and glanced at the giant spider on the opponent's field, which had absorbed the Shieldwing Strangebird.

I know this type of monster well.

Youxuan had his own unique way of dealing with such creatures.

"Activate my Set Card, Continuous Trap 'Blood Compensation.'"

Youxuan activated the card in his back row.

"The effect of 'Blood Compensation' can only be used during my Main Phase or the opponent's Battle Phase", Youxuan explained. "By paying 500 Life Points, I can perform an additional Normal Summon of a monster from my hand.

I pay 500 Life Points for an additional Normal Summon."

[Youxuan, LP 4000 → LP 3500]

"I Tribute the 'Phantom Shooter' and 'Shooter Token' on my field for an Advanced Summon!

Level 8! From the Planet Series—

—Great Saturn!!!"

The two monsters dissipated into particles, and a golden ring of energy sliced through the air above the spider web. A white metallic planet rose in the center of the ring, its iron fists clenched as it floated menacingly in the air.

[Great Saturn, Attack 2800]

At the sight of the massive mechanical Saturn, Shizukana Nishinoya's brow furrowed, and she instinctively pressed a hand to her chest.

Unbidden, terrifying memories seemed to resurface.

"Battle", Youxuan declared. "Use 'Great Saturn' to attack 'Underground Arachne'!"

Great Saturn swung its iron fist, the punch accompanied by a thunderous roar, as if it could topple mountains and crush seas, hurtling toward the spider woman.

But just as the punch was about to land, the spider woman suddenly wove her web, lifting the Shieldwing Strangebird that was bound by her web and using it as a shield. Great Saturn's powerful punch struck the Shieldwing Strangebird, shattering it into countless golden fragments, while the spider woman herself remained unscathed.

"Using Godwin's monster as a shield!?" Jack exclaimed.

Rudeger laughed heartily. "When Underground Arachne absorbs an equipped monster, if Arachne is destroyed in battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead.

And of course, because Arachne was forced into Defense Position by the effect of 'Spider Web,' I don't take any battle damage."

Longya was frustrated. "How can this be? It's too cunning! This makes attacking completely meaningless."

"Not just that", Longke added. "And because Great Saturn attacked, it will be forced into Defense Position by the effect of the Field Spell 'Spider Web,' and it won't be able to change its position to attack next turn."

Sure enough, several white spider threads shot down from the sky, tightly wrapping around Great Saturn and forcing it into a defensive stance.

[Great Saturn, Attack: 2800 → Defense: 2300]

Longya scratched his head. "Damn it, my summoned monster's attack is sealed."

"It's fine", Shizukana said, as if she had anticipated something. "Godwin must have his reasons."

Youxuan drew two more cards.

"Then I'll set two cards, and my turn ends."

Rudeger: "My turn, draw!"

After drawing, he immediately pressed a button on his Duel Disk, activating a facedown card at his feet.

"I'll activate a facedown card during the Standby Phase!

Continuous Trap 'Altar of the Earthbound God'!"

A massive altar rose behind him with a rumble.

"While this card is on the field, during each of my Standby Phases, I place 'Earthbound God Counters' on this card equal to the number of Defense Position monsters on the field.

Currently, there are two Defense Position monsters on the field: 'Great Saturn' and 'Underground Arachne,' so I place two Earthbound God Counters."

Two dark purple flames ignited on the altar, flickering with an eerie glow.

Rudeger sneered. "When the altar has four or more counters, I can send this card to the Graveyard and Special Summon a monster whose name contains 'Earthbound God' from my hand or Deck."

Everyone was stunned.

"I see", Yuuxing said.

"The 'Spider Web' forces all attacking monsters to switch to Defense Position, not just to delay the opponent's offensive, but also to serve this purpose."

Shizukana nodded in understanding. "By preventing the opponent's attacks, it prepares for the arrival of the Earthbound God, and it can even be Special Summoned from the Deck, solving the issue of getting the Earthbound God into play."

Jack: "And the Earthbound God is immune to the effects of Spells and Traps, so even if it attacks, it won't be forced into Defense Position by the field effect. This means only Godwin will be restricted from attacking due to the field.

And the Earthbound God can also attack the player directly, ignoring Defense Position monsters."

Longya scratched his head again. "Ah, that's terrible for Uncle Godwin!"

At this point, everyone had already faced their respective Dark Markers and experienced the terrifying power of the Earthbound God. Even before the Earthbound God had appeared, the altar had already put them under immense pressure.

"Exactly, this altar is the countdown to your death", Rudeger said with a grin.

"The moment the counters are complete and the Earthbound God arrives, it will signal your defeat!"
