Chapter 1191: Goodwin's Scheme
Chapter 1191: Goodwin's Scheme
As soon as "Goodwin" spoke, the main characters were shocked.
Yusei couldn't hold back and was the first to speak, "Goodwin! Why? Didn't you gather us together to defeat all the other Dark Signers? Didn't you want to protect this city and the innocent?"
Autumn also couldn't help but interject, "You pulled me out of the depths of despair and brought me to the Signers. Was all that a lie?"
"Yes", "Goodwin" replied calmly. "You all had your tasks, and now that you've completed your parts, it's time for you to step aside."
He stood high on the Apocalypse Altar, activating his Duel Disk.
"Although I don't mind continuing this conversation, time is passing. As we speak, the gates to the Underworld are opening, and its master is about to descend. Do you really want to waste more time talking?"
Youxuan felt his performance deserved an Oscar. He was truly dedicated.
One reason he didn't want to continue the conversation was to avoid making mistakes. If he talked too much, he might slip up. It was better to get straight to the duel.
Yusei frowned, "So, defeating you in a Duel will stop the gates from opening, is that it?"
Jack roared, "I've been wanting to test your strength, Goodwin! I, Jack Atlas, will crush your ambitions!"
Crow added, "In Satellite, many children have been hurt because of the war with the Earthbound Immortals, all because of people like you. Goodwin, if you are the true culprit behind the awakening of the Dark Signers and the arrival of the Earthbound Immortals, then Crow Hogan will never forgive you!"
Youxuan chuckled and spread his arms, "Alright, then. The three of you can come at me together."
"Huh?"
All three were taken aback.
All three at once?
While they knew Goodwin was strong, this level of confidence, arrogance, and disregard for them was shocking.
Jack growled, "Are you looking down on us?"
"Yes."
Youxuan admitted it openly.
"The rules will be a Tag Duel, with each side taking turns. You three will share 12,000 Life Points, and I'll have 12,000 Life Points as well. Is that acceptable?"
Even though it was one against three, he had adjusted the rules from the original. He wasn't good at riding Duels, and playing one-on-one was one thing, but a one-on-three with unfamiliar rules was a bit too presumptuous. So, Youxuan stuck with the traditional standing duel.
Jack was the first to activate his Duel Disk, "Alright, if you're so eager to die, Goodwin! You'll see the power of us and be beaten to a pulp!"
"Duel!" x4
[Youxuan, LP 12000]
[Crow/Jack/Yusei, LP 12000]
Youxuan: "I'll start the attack, Draw."
Youxuan drew a card and, without much hesitation, summoned the monster card in his hand.
"I Normal Summon 'Chaos Core.'"
A small black demon appeared on the field, its chest glowing with a pulsing core. Its grotesque bone wings spread out, releasing energy like a cloud of dark red mist.
[Chaos Core, Attack Power 0]
"Then I'll place a card face-down. My turn ends."
The three on the opposite side were all surprised.
Crow: "A monster with 0 Attack Power?"
Jack: "How much does this guy look down on us?"
Rua, watching from the sidelines, was confused, "And it's in Attack Position. Is this guy actually trying to lose?"
Yusei, however, remained calm, "Everyone, be careful. There's definitely something wrong."
"Don't overthink it, Yusei!" Crow interrupted.
"Overthinking just leads to hesitation and missed opportunities! No matter what setup lies ahead, I'll charge forward with my Duel!"
"My turn, Draw!"
Crow was the first to take action for the trio.
"I Summon 'Black-Winged Dragon' from my hand!"
Black feathers rained down as the black-winged warrior with a bird-like helmet appeared, its massive wings spreading like those of a fallen angel.
[Black-Winged Dragon, Attack Power 2000]
Rua: "He summoned a Level 5 monster without tributing?"
Crow explained, "When there's a monster on the opponent's field and none on my field, 'Black-Winged Dragon' can be Normal Summoned without tributing!"
He then played another card from his hand.
"Then I Special Summon 'Black Feather Storm'!"
A whirlwind arose, and a small black-feathered creature appeared, its large eyes looking like it was wearing round glasses.
[Black Feather Storm, Attack Power 1300]
"The Level of 'Black Feather Storm' is 3, and the Level of 'Black-Winged Dragon' is 5, totaling 8!"
Crow continued.
"From my hand, 'Black Feather Mirage' can be Special Summoned when the total Level of 'Black Feather' monsters on my field is 8."
"Come on out, 'Black Feather Mirage'!"
[Black Feather Mirage, Attack Power 600]
Rua: "Wow, he summoned three monsters on his first turn! Crow is so strong!"
Youxuan chuckled, "A bullet-like, ultra-fast offensive that leaves the opponent unable to move. That's the Black Feather style."
"Exactly!" Crow said proudly, "Watch closely. I, Crow Hogan, may not be a Signer or have any mystical powers, but I won't lose to any of you!"
Youxuan thought to himself, _No, no, no, you may not have any special powers yet, but you have a champion deck._
Of course, Crow's deck was different from the world champion Black Feather deck. This was early 5D's, and many powerful cards from the future hadn't been released yet. Crow, who wasn't even a Signer yet, wasn't as strong as he would be later.
Youxuan would say that Crow's current duelist level was around seven, not quite on par with the heavily buffed Yusei and Jack.
That was precisely why Youxuan, as the dark "Goodwin", had to step in. Whether Yusei and the others could grow was the key to saving this dimension.
"Not done yet!"
Crow raised his hand.
"Level 3 Tuner monster, 'Black Feather Storm'!
Level 4, 'Black Feather - Kamui'!
Tuning!"
[3 + 4 = 7]
"Black whirlwind, become wings that soar through the sky! Synchro Summon—
—Black Feather Armor Wing!"
