Chapter 176: What Are You Summoning?
Chapter 176: What Are You Summoning?
"I summon Angel 07!" Angel 07: Prevent your opponent's monsters from activating their effects as long as this card remains on the field. (Original effect)
Yu Xuan was intrigued as he realized the original effect of Angel 07 was different from what he remembered. He could only recall the physical card's effect, which was even more powerful as it sealed not just the monsters on the field but also those in the hand, graveyard, or banished.
However, the physical card's effect was a double-edged sword; it sealed both players' abilities, whereas the original effect only suppressed the opponent.
Additionally, the physical card had a restriction; it could only be effective if summoned through an advanced summon. The manga version seemed to lack this limitation, as summoning it through other effects still allowed its blocking ability to work.
With simpler summoning conditions, this suppression became quite formidable.
"So this is Tenma Yuki's ace card," Sanza couldn't help but swallow, "It's indeed powerful, but its attack power alone is not enough to rival the Chaos Soldier."
Before Sanza could finish setting up his flag, Yuki interrupted him: "I activate the magic card 'Allure of Darkness' to draw two cards, and then I banish a Dark Attribute monster from my game."
He drew two cards. "Now, I banish 'Dark Marquis Beleth,' a Dark Attribute monster, from my hand."
He held up a card, and it seemed to be absorbed into a pitch-black vortex that had opened in mid-air, disappearing from view.
"But that's not all! I also activate the equipment magic card 'Dimension Revival'!" Yuki declared, "By discarding one card from my hand, I can return a banished monster to the field in an attack position!"
He drew another card from his hand and discarded it into the graveyard.
"So, I revive the banished 'Dark Marquis Beleth'!"
The vortex of the other dimension opened once more, and a marquis with dark angel-like wings descended from the dark whirlpool. He held a pitch-black greatsword, and dark feathers drifted down from the sky.
[Dark Marquis Beleth: 2800 ATK]
This was another one of the Tenma brothers' main monsters in the manga.
"It's not over yet. Next, I discard these two cards from my graveyard, which were sent there by 'Angel's Alms' and 'Dimension Revival.'"
Two cards left the graveyard, and Yuki revealed two cards from his hand.
"I banish 'Doll,' a Rock-type monster, and 'Rock Spirit-Titan,' also a Rock-type monster!"
As the two Rock-type monsters vanished into the vortex, the ground in the duel arena began to crack. Huge rocks were scattered by the powerful shockwaves, and a deafening roar filled the air as a massive figure slowly emerged from the ground.
It was a giant made of hard rock, exuding a cold and rigid aura from every inch of its body. The giant stood tall, its body soaring into the clouds.
"I summon Gaia Plate, the Earth Giant!" [Gaia Plate, the Earth Giant: 2800 ATK]
You Xuan was taken aback when he saw this.
How do you have Jim's card?
This card also made its debut in GX, and it was Jim's ace card, a good teammate from a different dimension.
Hmm, but considering that Tenma Yuki is one of the heads of the world's top imprinting companies, it seems reasonable that he would have all sorts of rare cards.
"This is my full power!" Yuki declared.
"First, Gaia Plate attacks 'Chaos Soldier - Messenger of Creation'!"
Asuka was surprised. "You're using a monster with lower attack power to initiate an attack?"
There was no doubt that something fishy was going on.
"Gaia Plate's effect halves the attacking power of any monster it battles, and this effect only applies during damage calculation!"
[Chaos Soldier - Messenger of Creation: 3000 ATK → 1500 ATK]
"A direct attack from 'Angel O7'!" Yuki declared.
He still had two more monsters that hadn't attacked directly, and victory seemed within reach.
However, just as his brother Tenma had felt when he was one step away from victory, Yuki sensed that something was amiss with this attack.
"I activate a Spell Card," Yu Xuan said, "Quick-Play Spell: Scapegoat. Special Summon four 'Sheep Tokens' (0 ATK/0 DEF) in Defense Position to my field."
[Sheep Token, 0 DEF] x4
As expected.
Yuki frowned slightly.
"In that case, 'Dark Marquis Beleth' and 'Angel O7', destroy one 'Sheep Token' each!"
His two remaining powerhouses attacked in unison. The blue and red little lambs were sliced apart and disappeared, exploding into scattered light particles.
Yuki let out a long breath.
It was still not enough.
"End of my turn."
But that was also the limit of his current capabilities.
"Phew, that was close," Yu Xuan smiled, "Mr. Tenma, you're really pushing me to my limits. Such fierce attacks are hard to withstand."
Was it dangerous?
Tenma Yuki remained silent, giving no indication of his thoughts.
After a moment's contemplation, Yuki smiled lightly and said, "May I ask you something, Mr. Yu Xuan?"
"What is it?"
"I mean no offense, but I'm genuinely curious."
Yuki spoke softly.
"Mr. Yu Xuan, may I ask when was the last time you dueled with your full power?"
Yu Xuan: "..."
Sanzawa and Asuka also looked at him with curious eyes, sharing the same curiosity about this question.
But Yu Xuan just smiled helplessly.
"I don't know why everyone keeps saying that, but I am taking this duel with Mr. Tenma very seriously."
"I see. My apologies for prying."
Yuki nodded and didn't press further.
"My turn, draw."
Yu Xuan glanced at the card he drew and immediately placed it face down.
"Magic Card, 'Pot of Greed'. Both players draw three cards from their Decks." (Original Effect)
After drawing more cards, he took a deep breath.
"Alright, since Mr. Tenma thinks so, this turn, I will summon one of the strongest aces in this deck to break through this situation.
I believe that this will finally convince you of my seriousness, Mr. Tenma?"
Tenma Yuki's spirits rose at these words, and he instinctively tensed up, ready for anything.
One of the strongest aces?
He immediately thought of the previous duel that his brother had shared with him, where Night had been thoroughly defeated by the Chaos Soldier's epic-level enhancement, an unreasonably powerful newest form.
Could it be that Yu Xuan was about to reveal that card here?
Yu Xuan had already played one of his hand cards.
"Magic Card, 'Instant Fusion'! Tribute monsters on your field as Fusion Material, and Special Summon a Fusion Monster with the same Level from your Extra Deck!"
He pointed to a small, nondescript lamb on his field.
"Tribute the Level 1 'Sheep Token'!
Through the ritual of sacrifice, I summon the All-Seeing Eye—
—Level 1, 'Thousand-Eyes Restrict', summon!"
Tenma Yuki: "???"
What are you summoning?
