Chapter 1160: The Might of Angels
Youxuan looked at Gokou's resolute gaze and couldn't help but smile.
"The master and servant bond, huh? Interesting. Let’s see how it holds up."
He revealed a monster card from his hand.
"I activate the effect of 'Heavenly Messenger - Gelatias' from my hand.
By discarding this card to the Graveyard, I can add the Field Spell 'Sanctuary of the Skies' from my Deck to my hand."
This was yet another new form of the infamous "Gelatias' Warrior." The moment Youxuan revealed the card, a green-armored sky warrior appeared in the air, swinging a long blade that created ripples in the void.
The monster was sent to the Graveyard, and a massive white sky scene appeared in the air. A card then popped out of his Deck and was drawn into Youxuan’s hand.
"I add the Field Spell 'Sanctuary of the Skies' from my Deck to my hand."
Gokou said gravely, "The Sanctuary of the Skies, an Angel Deck?"
"Yep", Youxuan chuckled. "The Radiant Angels, who embody justice and hope, are the perfect fit for me, don't you think?"
Gokou was silent. He didn't know much about Godwin, but as the head of the Public Safety Bureau and someone suspected of having ties to the evil organization Taiyi, it was strange to hear him talk about justice and hope so casually.
Gokou quickly concluded that this man must have a face as thick as a city wall, able to spout lies without batting an eye.
"Your reaction suggests you don’t quite believe me. Too bad, I’m really a good guy, you know."
Youxuan shrugged.
"Now, I activate the Field Spell 'Sanctuary of the Skies'!"
White holy light shot up into the sky, surrounded by swirling clouds. Sacred and dazzling sky structures floated in the air, as if suspended in the heavens.
"In the Sanctuary of the Skies, battle damage dealt to me by Angel monsters is reduced to 0."
Youxuan continued.
"Next, I activate the Spell 'Card Destruction.' Both players discard their entire hands to the Graveyard and then draw the same number of cards from their Decks."
Gokou discarded his hand and drew cards, his brow furrowing as he watched Youxuan draw.
Youxuan activated the Sanctuary of the Skies first before using Card Destruction, suggesting that this field was crucial.
"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Fountain of the Skies.'"
Youxuan revealed another spell, and a spring of water gushed forth in the misty sanctuary.
"While the Fountain of the Skies is on the field, if a Light-attribute monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can banish that monster from the game and recover Life Points equal to its Attack Points."
Youxuan said calmly.
"Next, I Normal Summon 'Divine Nova.'"
[Divine Nova, Attack Points: 1400]
The formation was set. Anyone familiar with this lineup would likely be starting to feel a chill by now.
Youxuan smiled. "Alright, let’s see just how strong your master and servant bond is. If you’re even a little bit weaker..."
He paused, narrowing his eyes. "You might be instantly killed."
Gokou frowned.
What is he planning?
"Battle", Youxuan declared. "Divine Nova, attack 'Unyielding Warrior.'"
Gokou was puzzled. "Using a monster with lower Attack Points to attack?"
His Unyielding Warrior grew stronger when faced with a stronger opponent. When attacked by a monster with higher Attack Points, the Unyielding Warrior wouldn't be destroyed and could, instead, destroy the attacking monster after damage calculation.
However, if the attacking monster had lower Attack Points, this effect wouldn't activate.
Gokou frowned. "Unyielding Warrior, counterattack!"
The Unyielding Warrior swung his blade, slicing the Divine Nova in two, causing it to explode.
"Thanks to the Sanctuary of the Skies, I don’t take any damage from Angel monsters in battle", Youxuan explained. "And the effect of the Fountain of the Skies allows me to banish the Divine Nova from the game and recover Life Points equal to its Attack Points."
Youxuan, LP 4000 → LP 5400
"Next, the effect of 'Divine Nova.' When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Light Attribute Angel monster from my Deck."
"Special Summon 'Divine Nova 2.'"
Divine Nova, Attack Power 1400
"Divine Nova 2, attack 'Unyielding Warrior!'"
Gokou's expression changed slightly. "Using a series of suicide attacks to stack Life Points, huh?"
As he spoke, Divine Nova 2 exploded, transforming into a beam of light that surged into Youxuan's body.
Youxuan, LP 5400 → LP 6800
Next came Divine Nova 3.
Youxuan: "Keep attacking!"
Divine Nova 3 also launched a suicide attack, exploding and transforming into a beam of light that surged into Youxuan's body.
Youxuan, LP 6800 → LP 8200
"Activate the effect of Divine Nova again, Special Summon 'Radiant Angel!'"
Radiant Angel, Attack Power 1400
"Continue the battle, Radiant Angel, attack 'Unyielding Warrior!'"
Radiant Angel, like Divine Nova, is a Level 4 or lower Light Attribute Angel monster with the same effect of Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower Angel monster from the Deck when destroyed by battle.
There are still three Radiant Angels left in my Deck, so let's go for a triple attack!
The three Radiant Angels crashed into the Unyielding Warrior one after another, each exploding and transforming into a beam of white light that was absorbed into Youxuan's body.
Youxuan, LP 8200 → LP 9600 → LP 11000 → LP 12400
Gokou: "Twelve thousand four hundred Life Points."
It was indeed an astonishing number, but was it really necessary to stack such high Life Points?
Haven't you heard that the thickest armor often takes the hardest hits?
But soon, he understood that Youxuan's goal was more than just stacking Life Points.
"The last Radiant Angel is destroyed, and its effect is activated."
Youxuan said calmly.
"When Radiant Angel is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Light Attribute monster from my Deck."
A card popped out from Youxuan's Deck, and he held it up to display.
"Special Summon 'Mars, the Agent of Power!'"
A brilliant sphere of light burst forth from the altar of the Sanctuary of the Skies, and a pillar of light pierced the heavens from the dome. Countless runes and chains appeared in the air, shattering into glowing dust with a sharp metallic clang.
The image of an angel emerged from the light, its wings spreading like a cloud of light particles, each tip crackling with white lightning. The battle axe in its hand glowed with a liquid golden light, tearing the air with every movement, leaving spiderweb-like spatial rifts in its wake.
Mars, the Agent of Power, Attack Power 0
Gokou: "Attack Power 0?"
A Level 4 Light Attribute Angel with zero Attack Power can be Special Summoned directly from the Deck using Radiant Angel's effect.
"Mars, the Agent of Power's Attack Power increases by the amount my Life Points exceed my opponent's when my Life Points are higher than theirs."
Youxuan smiled and snapped his fingers.
"So, Mars, the Agent of Power's Attack Power becomes..."
Mars, the Agent of Power, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 8400
Eight thousand four hundred Attack Power!
