Chapter 1194: Three Heroes Battle Goodwin
Chapter 1194: Three Heroes Battle Goodwin
Youxuan was putting on a convincing act, and Yusei Fudo and the others were half-convinced, half-skeptical. But with the fate of the world at stake, they couldn't afford to be careless and had to give their all to counter Goodwin's sudden assault.
Meanwhile, there was another entity, another presence, that also witnessed Goodwin's performance. This presence was from the dimensional gate that began to stir in response to the ritual, the same gate that led to the mastermind behind the Earthbound Immortals—the massive, foul-smelling blob of a monster that appeared during the final battle between Goodwin and Yusei Fudo in the original story, also known as the Lord of the Underworld.
Of course, calling it the Lord of the Underworld might be an exaggeration. It was more likely a dominant monster within the Underworld, not the true ruler. If it were the true ruler, wouldn't that mean that even the King of the Underworld would be under its control?
This Lord of the Underworld was initially quite despondent. The Dark Signers' army had been wiped out, leaving him with no pawns to use. Logically, the five-thousand-year war had reached a point where he could declare defeat and wait for the next five thousand years.
But then, just when he was about to give up and go to sleep, he suddenly felt the barrier of space weaken again, signaling that the battle between his faction and the Red Dragon was reigniting. A ritual had been activated, and the old Perpetual Motion Machine was stirring.
He might still have a chance to manifest in the real world!
So he saw the "Goodwin" who had once united the Signers against him but now seemed to have betrayed them.
The Lord of the Underworld was overjoyed.
I knew you Goodwin brothers were reliable!
Hurry, take out those Signers and summon me!
"..."
Jack Atlas: "The effect of Malevolent Dragon. When this card is Special Summoned by its own effect, its Attack Power is halved."
[Malevolent Dragon, Attack Power 2000 → Attack Power 1000]
"Then, Normal Summon 'Dark Resonator'!"
[Dark Resonator, Attack Power 1300]
Dark Resonator, one of Jack Atlas's favorite Tuners, was almost a personal trademark. The combination of these Tuners with Malevolent Dragon was also one of Jack's most beloved Synchro strategies.
"Level 3, Tuner 'Dark Resonator'!
Level 5, Malevolent Dragon!
Synchro!"
[3 + 5 = 8]
"The roar of the king, now manifests here. Witness the power that shakes heaven and earth! Synchro Summon!"
A pillar of red light pierced the sky, the Synchro halo's patterns melting into the air. The starlight reformed in the swirling energy, and the air steamed with a blinding white mist as the lava-like Synchro energy surged. The dragon's claws tore through the spatial rift, and the entire Apocalypse Altar resonated. The moment the dark red dragon broke free, a violent red shockwave blasted the stone slabs around the altar, and lava rained down like fire.
Red Lotus Dragon, Summon!
[Red Lotus Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"So eager to make an appearance, Jack Atlas's Signer Dragon", Youxuan smiled.
It seemed even more formidable than when he faced Goodwin in the original story—perhaps the anger from his betrayal had intensified his power.
That's a good thing; it will help spur their growth.
"Try a bit harder", Youxuan murmured with a faint smile. "I believe in you."
Crow Hogan: "Jack Atlas's Red Lotus Dragon has the same Attack Power as Mythical Flame Emperor Uria now. Damn, if I had used my Armored Wing first, I could have used its effect to reduce Mythical Flame Emperor Uria's Attack Power to 0."
Under the current team rules, a teammate's monsters can block attacks when the field is empty, but they can't command each other's monsters to attack or activate their effects.
Jack Atlas, however, sneered arrogantly: "I don't need your help. I, Jack Atlas, have the strength to defeat Goodwin on my own!
I activate the Magic Card 'Card Reversal'!
Discard one card from my hand to change the battle position of all monsters on the opponent's field!"
Jack Atlas discarded a card to the Graveyard.
"Change all of Goodwin's monsters from Attack Position to Defense Position!"
[Chaos Core, Attack Power 0 → Defense Power 0]
[Mythical Flame Emperor Uria, Attack Power 3000 → Defense Power 3000]
"Additionally, the card I discarded to activate 'Card Reversal' is the Magic Card 'Compensation Package.' When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my Deck."
Rua, who was watching from the sidelines, was confused: "Huh? Even in Defense Position, Mythical Flame Emperor Uria's Defense Power is still 3000. Red Lotus Dragon can't..."
Autumn, standing nearby, explained: "It's because of Red Lotus Dragon's effect."
"Eh?"
Jack Atlas continued: "Battle! Red Lotus Dragon, attack 'Mythical Flame Emperor Uria'!
Absolute Power!"
Red Lotus Dragon roared, flames engulfing its body. The flames flowed from its lava-like seams, pooling in its right claw, which dragged a burning trail as it lunged at Mythical Flame Emperor Uria.
But as expected, Mythical Flame Emperor Uria's tail swept Red Lotus Dragon's claw away, dispersing the fierce flames.
"At this moment, Red Lotus Dragon's effect!" Jack Atlas declared. "When Red Lotus Dragon attacks a Defense Position monster, all Defense Position monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed after damage calculation!"
This effect, a hallmark of Jack Atlas's style, showed his intolerance for weakness and defensive tactics. He sought power, the clash of ultimate strength, where both sides bring their best to the fight.
Even the Three Phantom Beasts, which had no resistance to monster effects in the anime, were no match. Mythical Flame Emperor Uria and Chaos Core were both engulfed by the flames and consumed by the inferno.
Crow Hogan cheered: "Awesome! Not only did you take out that troublesome Phantom Beast, but you also broke through the defenses. Just as I expected from you, Jack Atlas!"
Jack Atlas, smirking, covered two cards.
"Cover two cards, my Turn ends!"
"You managed to take out the Phantom Beast so quickly. As the former king, you still have some skill", Youxuan smiled.
He emphasized the word "former king", and Jack Atlas immediately bristled: "What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Nothing, just stating a fact."
Youxuan revealed a card from his hand.
"The effect of 'Mythical Flame Emperor Uria' in the Graveyard.
By discarding a Trap Card from my hand, I can Special Summon this card back to the field."
Everyone gasped.
"Eh? How is that possible? We finally defeated Uria..." Rua scratched his head. "A monster this powerful can just keep coming back? That's too sneaky!"
Yusei Fudo added gravely: "This is the Phantom Beast, an impenetrable monster, whether in attack or defense."
"There are no impenetrable monsters!"
Crow Hogan shouted.
"I, Crow Hogan, will prove that!
Discard the monster 'D.D. Crow' from my hand to activate its effect!
By discarding this card, I can banish one card in the opponent's Graveyard, and this effect can be used even during the opponent's Turn!"
Crow Hogan pointed at Youxuan's field.
"Banish 'Mythical Flame Emperor Uria' from the Graveyard!"
