Chapter 1154: Scrap Defense Line
Chapter 1154: Scrap Defense Line
Scrap Fence!
A dirty, rusted iron fence rose from the ground, forming a wall-like shield in front of Marshmallow. The Demon Hand that was about to engulf Marshmallow was suddenly blocked by this old fence and retreated back into the void.
Executor: "What the heck?"
"And when Scrap Fence is activated, it doesn't go to the Graveyard but is directly returned to the field in face-down defense position."
You Xuan smiled lightly, and the Trap that had just been activated immediately returned to its face-down state, back to his Trap Zone.
From the effect and the name, it was clear that this card was from the same lineage as Yusei's "Scrap Scarecrow." However, while Scrap Scarecrow has a real card, Scrap Fence is exclusive to the anime and has not been released as a real card.
This card was used by an old man who lived in a junkyard in one of the daily episodes of 5D's. The old man used a deck centered around Scrap Scarecrow, and all the Traps in this series had the same characteristic: they could be re-covered and reused continuously.
Even Crow, who used Black Feather, struggled against the old man, finding it quite frustrating to deal with the repeated use of various Traps.
This time, You Xuan used a deck similar to the old man's, but he made some personalized adjustments to make it more enjoyable.
Failing to deal with this pesky Marshmallow was starting to irritate Executor.
Especially when Marshmallow started to act smug, laughing and taunting, "Haha, missed, you—"
While taunting, Marshmallow stuck out its tongue, which only added to the frustration.
"Then I'll start with that broken submarine!"
Although Marshmallow was a tough nut to crack, the submarine was also a significant threat. In a 4000 Life Point environment, taking a hit from the submarine every turn was quite painful and couldn't be ignored.
However, Executor remembered that the opponent's back row had a Scrap Scarecrow Trap, which could negate an attack declaration each turn.
"Two consecutive attacks should break through this defense!"
Executor made up his mind and revealed another monster from his hand.
"The 'Justice Alliance Cosmic Sealer' in my hand is a Level 8 Advanced Monster, but it can be Special Summoned from the hand if there are two or more monsters on the field, including at least one Light Attribute monster!"
"Light Attribute..."
Marshmallow struggled to look down at its round body.
Then it suddenly realized something.
"Uh, I think I'm a Light Attribute monster?"
"That's right", You Xuan said calmly. "So I said you were asking for it."
The story background of the Justice Alliance deck is that the residents of the DT planet created these war machines to defend against the terrifying invaders, the Alien Bugs.
As everyone knows, the entire Alien Bug deck is comprised of Reptile-Type Light Attribute monsters. Therefore, to fit this setting, the entire Justice Alliance deck is specialized against Light Attribute monsters.
Effects like banishing the opponent's Light Attribute monsters, multiple attacks against Light Attribute monsters, negating the effects of Light Attribute monsters, and even Special Summoning themselves when the opponent controls a Light Attribute monster.
The entire deck is designed with these features, targeting Light Attribute monsters regardless of whether they are Alien Bugs or not.
"There is a Light Attribute monster, Marshmallow, on your field, and you have a total of two monsters", Executor said. "Therefore, 'Cosmic Sealer' can be Special Summoned without any cost!
Come forth! Justice Alliance Cosmic Sealer!"
The ground split open, revealing deep blue energy fissures. Countless metal fragments spiraled together from the void, emitting a sharp hum. The air seemed to warp due to the high-energy reactions, as silver-gray armor plates were rapidly assembled under the influence of electromagnetic forces, sparking with bluish-white electricity.
The energy core suddenly lit up, casting a blinding blue pulse across the entire area. The massive sealing device hovered in mid-air, its bottom spewing dark blue exhaust, creating a gust that scattered dust and debris in all directions.
The ring structures surrounding the core rotated counterclockwise, emitting visible waves of transparent force fields. The mechanical roar was like the low growl of a giant beast, with the clashing of gears and the crackling of overloaded energy forming a deep symphony.
Justice Alliance Cosmic Sealer, Attack Power 2400
"Even with the Scrap Scarecrow, it can only block one attack."
The Executor growled.
"Take this!
First, Catastrophic Bug, attack the Submarine Mech!"
Energy filled the Catastrophic Bug's single eye. A flash of light transformed the energy into a piercing spear, aimed directly at the small submarine.
You Xuan: "Activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Scrap Scarecrow.'
When the opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack."
The Trap from the previous turn activated again, and the metal scarecrow emerged, its head tilted to one side, one of its lens panels seemingly missing, the other glowing a dark red.
Boom!
The Catastrophic Bug's attack hit the scarecrow, and the transparent barrier deflected the impact. The scarecrow was then re-covered, returning to the Trap.
"But now the scarecrow's defense is broken! Go, Cosmic Sealer!"
The Executor commanded.
"Attack the Submarine Mech!"
The air thickened due to the force field, and the blue energy core suddenly contracted into a glaring white point, emitting a high-frequency pulse like a beast preparing to pounce.
With a deafening roar, the energy sphere transformed into a gravitational ray that pierced the battlefield, its aftershocks scorching the ground with black grooves.
"Make the submarine disappear here and now!"
However, You Xuan smiled nonchalantly and waved his hand.
"Activate the Cover Card. Trap Card 'Scrap Scarecrow.'
When the opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack."
The Executor: "???"
Wait, you can't bluff me. How can your scarecrow activate again?
But the next moment, he saw the Trap that had just been covered indeed opened once more, releasing the rusty scarecrow cross.
The Cosmic Sealer's fierce attack once again hit the scarecrow's transparent barrier, sending shockwaves in all directions, shaking the ground and scattering debris. The air vibrated, but the scarecrow's defense remained unbroken.
"The Scrap Scarecrow is not sent to the Graveyard but is re-covered on the field."
You Xuan smiled and re-covered the scarecrow.
"Wait!" The Executor felt he had been bluffed. "A Trap Card can't be activated during the turn it is covered! How can your scarecrow activate twice?"
"You're right, normally it can't. But with this card, it can."
You Xuan smiled and pointed to a Continuous Magic card in front of him.
The Executor: "!"
The Royal Temple?
