Chapter 374: The Might of the Alien Insect
Chapter 374: The Might of the Alien Insect
Under the dawning sky, a tsunami of explosive energy rips through the depths of the earth like an awakening beast.
This was "Alien Insect Victory's" devastating attack, a torrent of power that surged forth in an instant, akin to a stampede of a thousand horses. Wherever it passed, nothing was left but dust. Even the Chaos Wizard stood no chance against this force and was crushed into fragments under its rampage.
"You just tried to exclude my 'Alien Insect Victory' with the Chaos Wizard, didn't you? Too bad, it's not that easy," Luca shouted.
You Xuan remained unfazed. "So, I'll set another monster in defense mode and set a face-down card. That's the end of my turn."
"During the End Phase, the subsequent effect of 'W Nebula Meteor'!"
Luca swept his arm and declared, "All Reptile-Type LIGHT Attribute monsters on my field are changed to face-down Defense Position, and then I draw the same number of cards from my deck!
Thus, 'Alien Insect Victory' returns to face-down Defense Position, and I draw a card from my deck!"
Luca drew a card, and the gigantic scarlet-shelled creature also calmed down, returning to its face-down card form.
"But it doesn't end there. The final effect of 'W Nebula Meteor' allows me to Special Summon another Reptile-Type, LIGHT Attribute monster with 7 or more stars from my deck."
Luca pulled out his deck and quickly searched for the card he needed.
"Appear now, the second 'Alien Insect Victory'!"
The second Victory, equally massive, slowly rose from the depths, its colossal form stretching before You Xuan, casting a shadow like a towering mountain.
[Alien Insect Victory: ATK 0 → ATK 3000]
"Alien Insects never die. No matter how many you defeat, more will emerge!" Luca declared, "My turn, draw!"
You Xuan shrugged but remained silent. However, he thought to himself that without the Grand Cosmos, talking was pointless. "I activate the Magic Card 'Pot of Greed'; we each draw three cards from our decks."
After drawing, Luca's lips curled upward, and his sinister smile returned as if he had regained control of the situation.
"The Alien Insects' offense is relentless, and now you will realize that. I activate this card from my hand—
—Continuous Magic, 'Future Fusion'!"
"Hmm?" You Xuan furrowed his brows slightly.
Are there equipped and continuous versions of Future Fusion? Both versions did appear in the GX anime; the equipped version was possessed by Caesar, while the continuous version was used by Darkness. The one You Xuan picked up from the enthusiastic bystander earlier was only the continuous version.
"As a Continuous Magic, 'Future Fusion' has a different effect. I can also select a Fusion Monster and send the required Fusion Material from my deck to the Graveyard. However, I must wait for two turns before I can Fusion Summon that monster."
Luca paused and added in a deep voice, "But it doesn't matter; my goal this time isn't the Fusion Summon itself.
Of course, I choose 'Alien Zero,' which was previously recycled to the Fusion Deck! Then, from my deck—"
He pulled out a large handful of cards from his deck.
"I send twenty-three different Alien Insects to the Graveyard!"
This time, only twenty-three were sent to the Graveyard. There were a total of twenty-six Alien Insects, excluding Alien Zero. This time, it seemed that Alien Insect Queen, which had already been sent to the Graveyard, was not included. Additionally, since he had already summoned two Alien Insect Victories and there didn't seem to be a third one in his deck, Alien Insect Victory was also not among those sent to the Graveyard.
Twenty-three Alien Insect cards flooded into the Graveyard, causing a surge of energy to ripple across the field, as if it had been injected into the massive red-brown creature lying there.
"Alien Insect Victory increases its attack power based on the number of Alien Insects in the Graveyard," You Xuan realized.
"Correct," Luca said, "With twenty-three Alien Insects in the Graveyard, Alien Insect Victory's attack power becomes:
[Alien Insect Victory: ATK 3000 → ATK 14,500]
"Indeed! And don't forget, I still have this other face-down Victory on my field!" Luca shouted, "I flip summon the other 'Alien Insect Victory' in face-down Defense Position on my field!"
[Alien Insect Victory: DEF 0 → ATK 14500]
"When Victory is flipped face-up, destroy all face-up monsters on the field, except for Insect-Type monsters," You Xuan stated, "However, the only monster I have on my field is face-down in Defense Position, so Victory's effect cannot destroy it."
"It doesn't matter. No matter what kind of weakling it is, with Victory's current strength, it can easily crush it!"
Luca declared loudly.
"Go, Alien Insect Victory, attack that face-down monster!"
The massive body of the Alien Insect drew near, its thunderous claws exuding an oppressive aura as they bore down on the tiny face-down monster in You Xuan's field!
"An Attack of fourteen thousand, even surpassing Alien Zero from earlier. Is this the power of the Alien Insects, the strength of a Doma Swordsman?"
You Xuan looked up, his expression solemn and respectful.
"In that case, I activate my face-down card."
He raised his arm, and from his Trap Cards, a golden light blossomed, projecting the image of a pair of cylinders.
When Luca saw those extravagant cylinders, his heart nearly stopped.
"That's... Magic Cylinder!"
"Negate your monster's attack, and inflict its Attack Points as damage to your opponent—
—in other words, take fourteen thousand and five hundred points of reflective damage!" You Xuan declared.
"Magic... Cylinder!?"
Luca's eyes widened in shock.
Were you pretending to struggle earlier while holding onto Magic Cylinder? But one of Victory's punches had already been firmly caught by Magic Cylinder, absorbing the unstoppable energy that could shatter mountains and rivers. The other cylinder flipped over, and the surging energy was about to be released.
If that punch had hit him, Luca would have owed himself eight lives.
"Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, 'The Forbidden Holy Grail'!" Luca said with a dark expression, "Increase the ATK of one monster on the field by 400 points, but its effects are negated.
So, I negate the effects of my 'Alien Insect Victory' and increase its ATK by 400 points!"
"Victory's original ATK is 0, so if its effects are negated, it returns to 0. In that case, its ATK will only have the amplification from the Holy Grail and Orichalcos, totaling 900 points."
You Xuan nodded, then smiled lightly.
"Not bad, not bad. You even endured the Magic Cylinder."
"Don't get cocky. It's not over yet. Quick-Play Spell, 'Emergency Food'!" Luca said, "Send 'The Forbidden Holy Grail' and the Continuous Spell Card 'Future Fusion' on the field to the Graveyard, and gain 2000 Life Points!"
[Luca: LP 1600 → LP 3600]
After resolving the chain and regaining Life Points, Alien Insect Victory's attack rebounded. But when it landed on Luca, its apocalyptic might had been reduced to the extreme, leaving only a meager 900 damage, which Luca endured with a mere stagger.
[Luca: LP 3600 → LP 2700]
"What a sly kid."
Luca wiped his sweat.
"If I hadn't been careful, I would've fallen for that. Let the battle continue.
Second Alien Insect Victory, attack the Defense Position monster!"
The face-down monster was flipped, and as expected, it shattered under the might of Victory's ten-thousand Attack.
"The monster I just destroyed is 'Dark Mask.'"
Before sending it to the Graveyard, You Xuan briefly displayed the monster in his hand.
"When Dark Mask is flipped face-up, select one Trap Card from your Graveyard and add it to your hand.
So, I add this card from my Graveyard back to my hand."
You Xuan retrieved the card that had been sent to the Graveyard.
"I return the Continuous Trap Card 'Grand Cosmos' to my hand."
Luca: "..."
