Chapter 1152: The Executor
"Executor?"
Youxuan stood up from the sofa and sized up the person who had just entered.
The person was masked, revealing no face, but the aura was distinctly different from that of an ordinary person. It was the sharpness of a seasoned warrior, like a sword already drawn, its edge unhidden.
"Indeed."
The person spoke in a somewhat grim voice.
"I am the Executor of Taiyi, responsible for eliminating all traitors and those who leak secrets."
Clark, lying on the ground in despair, pleaded, "No! I haven't betrayed the organization, and I haven't leaked anything. I just... I just..."
"Just foolishly fell into a simple Dark Game trap and allowed yourself to be manipulated. Yes, I don't doubt your loyalty, but I know you were simply foolish."
The Executor said coldly.
"But the reason doesn't matter. Your sentence has been handed down by Taiyi, and it is to be eliminated."
Clark felt utter despair and profound regret.
Why the hell did I have to roll that damn dice?
"And you."
The Executor looked up at Youxuan.
"A person with such a level of Dark Game power—indeed, such individuals are quite rare in this era. However..."
He snorted and raised his arm. Mechanical devices began to hover around him, assembling on his arm and quickly forming a peculiar floating Duel Disk.
"However, no matter who you are, if you're investigating Taiyi, you must be eliminated!"
"Oh? Is that so? Interesting..."
Youxuan thought. In the anime, Taiyi and Yusei and the others fought back and forth, and aside from the group of robotic minions called Shadows, it was mostly just the three Emperors. It felt like Taiyi's vast organization consisted of only the three leaders.
But of course, that was impossible. An organization hidden in the flow of time, constantly correcting history and infiltrating every corner of the world, must be a colossal entity. It couldn't possibly have only three leaders.
"Alright, it seems they won't show themselves unless I deal with you first. I have some questions I want to ask them."
Youxuan also activated his Duel Disk.
"Let's see how you fare."
The Executor said coolly, "We'll see about that."
"Duel!" x2
[Youxuan, LP 4000]
[Executor, LP 4000]
"I'll start, Draw."
The Executor's turn. After drawing, he barely hesitated, smoothly drawing two cards from his deck.
"I place a monster face-down on the field."
"Then I set a card face-down. My turn ends."
Youxuan: "My turn, Draw."
He added the drawn card to his hand and then selected another card from his hand.
"I'll also place a monster face-down on the field."
Youxuan's monster card appeared on the Duel Disk, and a ripple of starlight revealed the image of the covered monster. At that moment, the Executor waved his hand and activated a card from his back row.
"Right now, I activate the Trap Card, 'Lure of Shadows'!"
The Trap card activated, and a giant eye appeared, radiating a powerful, seductive force, as if silently communicating something.
Under that force, the monster Youxuan had just placed face-down uncontrollably flipped to its attack position.
"Lure of Shadows can only be activated when an opponent places a monster face-down", the Executor explained. "This card forces the placed monster to be revealed in attack position."
And if it’s a Reversal Monster, the Reversal Effect cannot be activated!"
Youxuan: "I see, a card that targets Reversal Effects?"
The monster he had Set was not a Reversal Monster, but...
At that moment, the Set monster flipped over, revealing a soft, white, fluffy creature that appeared on the field with a pout, "Ugh, you’ve seen everything!"
Marshmallow, Attack: 300
"You mean Marshmallow", the Executor said. "If it’s in Defense Position and is attacked, it can deal 1000 damage to me and can’t be destroyed by battle. But if it’s flipped over, it can’t reflect the damage. And even if it can’t be destroyed in battle, with only 300 Attack, it’s a huge weakness."
"You’re right. Flipping my Marshmallow, how mean."
Youxuan sighed, resigned.
"Fine, fine. I’ll Set a card face-down, and my Turn is over."
Executor: "My Turn, Draw."
He placed another monster card from his hand.
"Normal Summon 'Ally Bomber'!"
A spherical bomb, engulfed in purple flames, floated in the air on the Executor's field.
Ally Bomber, Attack: 400
"Then, I’ll flip the face-down monster on the field and Reverse Summon!"
The Executor's covered monster flipped over, transforming into a small mechanical spider-like insect.
Justice Allies Cyclical Reader Bug, Attack: 1000
Youxuan: "A Justice Allies deck."
This deck appeared in the early days of Synchro Summoning and had a significant role in the anime. The mass-produced ghost army used cards related to the Allies series.
"Level 2, Tuner Monster 'Ally Bomber'!
Level 3, 'Justice Allies Cyclical Reader Bug'!
Tuning!"
2 + 3 = 5
A blinding purple light burst forth from the Synchro glow, and the mechanical giant insect's silhouette gradually materialized in a storm of data.
"Feast on light with metallic fangs, crush hope with endlessly regenerating machinery!"
The Executor raised his arm, and simultaneously, the giant insect's dark steel scales unfolded, revealing a crimson Ally emblem on its body. The energy core began to spin at an overload.
"Synchro Summon—
—Justice Allies Catastrophe Bug!"
Justice Allies Catastrophe Bug, Attack: 2200
"Justice Allies, huh?" Youxuan glanced at the Marshmallow on his field with a half-smile. "Looks like you’ve hit the bullseye."
Marshmallow, still confused, tilted its head and looked at him, "Huh?"
What does he mean? Even though it's in Attack Position, the one who would take damage is its controller. It can’t be destroyed in battle, so taking a hit isn’t a big deal.
What’s this about hitting the bullseye?
The Executor declared, "Battle!
Use 'Justice Allies Catastrophe Bug' to Attack 'Marshmallow'!"
The mechanical giant insect charged at Marshmallow, energy surging into the metallic bug’s eyes and firing a beam of golden light.
At first, Marshmallow stood defiant, but then it heard the Executor say, "Effect of 'Justice Allies Catastrophe Bug'!
When this card battles a monster that is not Dark-Attribute, it can directly destroy that monster!"
Not Dark-Attribute monsters...
Marshmallow’s eyes widened in shock.
What!?
This sneaky big bug doesn’t even need to battle; it can destroy with its effect.
What a cheap ability!
