Chapter 373: The Alien Insect Victory Li
Chapter 373: The Alien Insect Victory Li
"During the End Phase, except for the 'Dimensional Scout' of the Emperor of Style, it returns to the field in the Attack Position."
[Dimensional Scout: ATK 800]
"The turn ends." You Xuan declared.
Luca's smile vanished along with his Alien Insect Zero, and his expression turned grim once more.
"My turn, draw!" He glanced at his hand and then said sinisterly, "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, 'Whirlwind,' to destroy one Magic or Trap Card on the field."
I destroy my Continuous Magic Card, 'Nightmare Mirage Barrel.' Normally, I would have had to discard four cards during the preparation phase due to the adverse effects of the mirage barrel, but now I don't have to."
A whirlwind picked up, and pitch-black lightning bolts fell, shattering his own Continuous Magic Card into pieces.
"Whirlwind," You Xuan nodded.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't the Ever-eating Magic Card. "But is this really a good idea? It's not easy to draw the Wind card." You Xuan smiled, "Don't you want to get rid of the 'Macro Cosmos'?"
"I don't need you to tell me that."
Luca waved his hand dismissively, his eyes narrowing as if there were bloodshot veins in them.
"I Flip Summon 'Apocalypse Alien Insect' from my field!"
[Apocalypse Alien Insect: ATK 300]
"When this card is flipped face-up, destroy one Magic or Trap Card on the field.
Disappear, 'Macro Cosmos'!"
Finally, the Macro Cosmos was shattered, and the profound space background of the cosmos faded away. The heavy gloom that had lingered in Luca's heart since the start of the duel seemed to dissipate slightly, bringing a moment of relief.
"Then, I activate my face-down Trap Card, 'Needle Insect's Nest.'" Luca declared, "Send the top five cards of my Deck to the Graveyard."
He drew out five cards, glanced at them, and placed them on the Duel Disk, allowing them to slide into the Graveyard one by one.
"Then, I offer 'Apocalypse Alien Insect' from my field as a Tribute to perform an Advanced Summon...
...Level 8, Alien Insect Queen!"
[Alien Insect Queen: ATK 2700]
"Although Alien Insect Queen is an 8-star monster, if I use a Reptile-type monster with 'Alien Insect' in its name as a Tribute, I can Tribute just one monster."
Luca explained sinisterly.
"You're getting a little too cocky, kid. Now, witness the strength and beauty of my Alien Insects."
You Xuan studied Luca's Alien Insect Queen on the field with feigned nonchalance.
Strength and beauty? Somehow, I don't think those words fit Alien Insects at all.
"The effect of Alien Insect Queen activates once per turn. I can Tribute one Reptile-type monster with 'Alien Insect' in its name from my field as a Tribute to Special Summon from my Deck an 'Alien Insect' with a Level less than the Tributed monster's Level!"
"You only have 'Alien Insect Queen' on your field." You Xuan pointed out.
"Correct," Luca replied, "And 'Alien Insect Queen' itself is a monster with 'Alien Insect' in its name. So, I Tribute 'Alien Insect Queen'!"
The ability of the Alien Insect Queen was activated, and the golden light of sacrifice enveloped her, eventually dissolving and decomposing her entire body into countless particles.
When I'm ruthless, I'll even sacrifice myself.jpg.
"Alien Insect Queen is Level 8, so I can Special Summon any 8-star or lower Alien Insect from my Deck." Luca said in a deep voice.
"I see." You Xuan said, "So, 'Parallel World Fusion' shuffled all the banished Alien Insects back into your Deck?"
Indeed, it was a crucial, life-or-death draw. Aside from fusing into Alien Insect Zero, if Parallel World Fusion hadn't shuffled the banished cards back into his Deck, Luca would have had no monsters left in his Deck by now. He would have been completely out of ammunition and unable to continue the duel, literally defeated by a single Macro Cosmos.
"I Special Summon this Alien Insect from my Deck."
Luca opened his Deck and drew out the searched monster card.
"Level 7, Alien Insect Victory Li! I Special Summon you!"
A golden beam of light descended, and what appeared on the ground first was a viscous, dark red liquid, like blood from the abyss, shimmering with an eerie glow.
"Alien Insect Victory Li increases its Attack Power based on the number of Alien Insects in my Graveyard. Each Alien Insect boosts its Attack by 500 points," Luca explained in a deep voice.
"I have one Alien Insect left in my hand after playing Hand Destruction, and this turn, I sacrificed Apocalypse Alien Insect and Alien Insect Queen. Needle Insect's Nest sent two more to the Graveyard, for a total of five."
"So, Victory Li's Attack becomes..."
[Alien Insect Victory Li, ATK 0 → ATK 2500]
"Then, it gains the power of 'Orichalcum Barrier'!" Luca shouted. "Alien Insect Victory Li's Attack increases by another 500 points!"
[Alien Insect Victory Li, ATK 2500 → ATK 3000]
"Go, Alien Insect Victory Li! Tear that Reconnaissance Machine to shreds!"
Alien Insect Victory Li's massive claws descended, shattering the Reconnaissance Machine with a single strike. Sparks flew as the machine exploded into fragments.
[You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 1800]
You Xuan staggered back from the impact, his body shaking.
"I set two cards. End turn."
"You've summoned another powerful monster right away. That's impressive," You Xuan commented.
Luca: "..."
No, I must stay calm and keep my composure.
And under no circumstances should I lay a hand on him. Violence is against the rules, and the consequences could be severe for a lifepoint wager.
"My turn, draw!" You Xuan declared. "I activate the Magic Card, 'The Hope of the Oppressed'! When your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster, and you control no monsters, draw two cards from your Deck!" (Original card)
You Xuan drew two cards.
"Then, I remove from play the Light Attribute 'Thunder Emperor, Zaborg' and the Dark Attribute 'Trainee Magician' from my Graveyard, which I discarded earlier with Hand Destruction."
"Removing Light and Dark Attribute monsters?" Luca's eyes narrowed as a thought occurred to him. "Chaos Sorcerer?"
"Hahaha, sorry to disappoint, but no."
You Xuan chuckled lightly and revealed the card in his hand.
"A magician who harnesses the power of chaos by guiding the souls of light and darkness—
—Chaos Sorcerer, I summon you!"
[Chaos Sorcerer, ATK 2300]
"Chaos Sorcerer," Luca acknowledged, "a low-level Chaos monster with similar abilities to the Envoy of the Beginning."
While its stats and abilities were inferior to the Envoy, it still possessed a similar exclusion ability to "Chaos Dimension Cutting," making it a formidable opponent.
"You plan to exclude my 'Alien Insect Victory Li'? That won't be easy."
Luca's voice was stern.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, 'Book of Moon'! Change one monster on the field to face-down Defense Position!"
"Oh?" You Xuan asked, "Are you going to flip my 'Chaos Sorcerer' face-down?"
"Hehe, who said that?" Luca smirked. "I'm flipping my own 'Alien Insect Victory Li' face-down!"
Alien Insect Victory Li was flipped face-down, becoming a set card.
"Now, I activate the Trap Card, 'W Nebula Meteor'! All face-down Defense Position monsters on the field are flipped face-up!
Alien Insect Victory Li, flip!"
[Alien Insect Victory Li, DEF 2500]
"At this moment, Victory Li's flip effect is also activated!"
Luca spread his fingers, pointing them at You Xuan's Chaos Sorcerer, and shouted.
"When Alien Insect Victory Li is flipped face-up, destroy all face-up monsters on the field, except for Reptile-Type monsters with 'Alien Insect' in their names!"
