Chapter 375: The Potential of the Chaos Warrior
Once again, the card, "Macro Cosmos," was played, and the dueling field transformed. The darkness of space enveloped the arena, with twinkling stars dotting the void as both duelists found themselves standing in an ethereal expanse.
Luca scowled, his face darkening. He had never heard of this card before, but its impact on him was profound, even without its effect being activated. Merely seeing it in You Xuan's hand made his heart skip a beat. However, upon further reflection, he realized he wasn't as afraid of this trap card anymore. Most of his Insect-type monsters had already been sent to the graveyard, and he now had ample resources there. At this point, the disruption "Macro Cosmos" could cause was limited.
Moreover, he still had two Insect Victories with over 14,000 ATK each on the field, giving him a significant advantage.
"My turn, draw!" You Xuan declared. "I activate the magic card, 'Angel's Charity.' I draw three cards, then discard two from my hand."
He drew and then discarded two cards.
"Now, the effect of 'Compensation Scroll' activates. When I send cards from my hand to the graveyard, I can draw two cards from my deck."
As You Xuan drew, a shadowy figure appeared behind him, its presence somewhat eerie.
Luca furrowed his brow. "Who's that?"
"Executioner: Asura," You Xuan replied. "This card allows me to activate a trap card from my hand during the turn it is sent to the graveyard."
You Xuan revealed the card in his hand. "I activate the continuous trap, 'Macro Cosmos'!"
Once again, the vastness of space enveloped the dueling field, rewriting its very fabric. The darkness of the cosmos replaced the arena, with twinkling stars dotting the void as the duelists stood in an endless void.
"That thing again," Luca muttered, his voice low and resentful.
"But what can you do now that it's activated?" Luca challenged.
"Well, we'll see," You Xuan said with a smile. "I activate the magic card, 'Take Over 5.' I send the top five cards of my deck to the graveyard."
Luca: "?"
Confused, Luca watched as You Xuan sent five cards from the top of his deck to the graveyard, only to see them all sucked into the vortex of another dimension due to the effect of "Macro Cosmos."
What kind of move was this? Sending cards to the graveyard only to have them devoured by his own trap card?
But You Xuan offered no explanation. Instead, two more cards were automatically discarded from his hand, their golden auras blooming in the graveyard.
"I remove from play 'Alien Probe' of the Attribute-Dark from my graveyard, as well as 'Alien Woman Warrior' of the Attribute-Light, which was sent to the graveyard during the first turn," You Xuan announced, raising his hand, from which a golden aura burst forth.
"The souls of light and darkness are sacrificed to the chaotic field, and the legendary warrior descends! The creation of the heavens and the earth—
—Chaos Soldier-Messenger of Creation, I summon you!"
The endless void of Macro Cosmos was cleaved by sword energy, as if the very stars themselves made way for the legendary warrior, who descended slowly, wielding a sword and shield amidst the chaotic cyclone.
[Chaos Soldier-Messenger of Creation: ATK 3000]
"So it's a Chaos Soldier this time," Luca remarked, his brow furrowed. "What's the ability of this Chaos Soldier?"
"Ability activated: Messenger of Creation. Once per turn, I can remove one monster on my opponent's field from play," You Xuan explained, pointing at the Insect Victory. "Remove 'Insect Victory' from play."
The Chaos Soldier's sword cleaved through the air, its sword energy leaving a deep dimensional rift in its wake, causing space itself to fracture.
"Now, the trap card in my graveyard, 'Skill Lock,' activates!" Luca shouted. "During my opponent's turn, I can remove this card from the graveyard from play and choose one card on my opponent's field. All monster effects that target that card are negated this turn.
I choose the 'Insect Victory' that you have locked on to!"
A binding shield appeared, successfully blocking the sword energy of the Chaos Soldier, causing the chaotic sword energy to spin and reverberate against the barrier.
"What a pity that even the legendary warrior couldn't get the job done," Luca taunted.
"Yes, it is a shame," You Xuan agreed, his tone conveying a sense of helplessness and the implication that he had no choice but to resort to a less desirable strategy.
However, his words made Luca's heart skip a beat once more. The last time You Xuan had used this disappointed tone, he had silently played a "Magic Cylinder," nearly ending the duel in an instant.
"Then, I normal summon 'Machine Gun Magician,'" You Xuan continued.
[Machine Gun Magician: ATK 1600]
"I activate the magic card, 'Foolish Burial.' I can send one magic or trap card from my deck to the graveyard."
You Xuan paused, then pointed to his own field. "At this moment, the effect of 'Machine Gun Magician' also activates.
As long as 'Machine Gun Magician' remains on the field, each time I activate a normal magic card, my opponent takes 400 points of damage."
The magician's magic bullets shot out, striking Luca head-on. However, Luca nonchalantly took the hit.
[Luca: LP 2700 → LP 2300]
Luca shrugged indifferently. "Four hundred points of damage? That's not even enough for cupping therapy."
"My apologies," You Xuan said with a smile as he drew the card that had automatically popped out of his deck.
"The effect of 'Foolish Burial' allows me to send the magic card, 'Primitive Seed,' from my deck to the graveyard."
"But because of Macro Cosmos, sending it to the graveyard will also exclude it from play."
You Xuan nodded and smiled faintly.
"But this card hides the potential of the Chaos Soldier, a power that has been overlooked by everyone until now."
"Hmm?"
This statement made Luca instinctively feel uneasy.
"Then let me unleash that power now. I activate a Magic Card from my hand—
—'Primitive Seed'!"
Luca was shocked: "A second copy of the same card?!"
You Xuan: "While 'Chaos Soldier-Messenger of Creation' is on the field, return two of my banished cards to my hand."
The Chaos Soldier raised the blade in his hand and slashed down. Space tore open, and the dimensional power briefly opened a vortex to another dimension.
"The two cards I'm recovering from the banish zone are..."
You Xuan revealed the two cards.
"...the 'Earth Emperor Granmard' that your Insect Zero sent to the graveyard when I had 'Macro Cosmos' in play, and this 'Primitive Seed' that was just banished from my deck."
"You're recovering another 'Primitive Seed'?!" Luca frowned.
"That's right."
You Xuan added the two cards returned from the dimensional fissure to his hand and calmly explained,
"And at this moment, the effect of 'Machine Gun Magician' activates.
As long as 'Machine Gun Magician' remains on the field, each time I activate a Normal Magic Card, my opponent takes 400 points of damage."
Another magic bullet struck Luca head-on, causing him to stagger backward.
[Luca: LP 2300 → LP 1900]
It was still just 400 points of damage, but Luca could no longer ignore it. He began to tremble involuntarily.
"The 'Primitive Seed' that I just recovered activates again," said You Xuan. "While Messenger of Creation is on the field, recover two banished cards.
This time, I recover 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' and the first 'Primitive Seed'."
The Chaos Soldier's face was cold and expressionless as he mechanically swung his sword again, tearing through the fabric of space.
It was as if he were saying, "I'm just an emotionless wall-breaking machine."
Two more cards flew from the dimensional fissure into You Xuan's hand.
"Machine Gun Magician's effect: 400 points of damage."
[Luca: LP 1900 → LP 1500]
Another magic bullet exploded in Luca's face, sending him tumbling to the ground.
But he didn't get up again; he just sat there, his face filled with terror and disbelief as he stared in You Xuan's direction.
Messenger of Creation, Macro Cosmos, Primitive Seed...
A boundless fear washed over him, along with a roaring desire—
—The hidden potential of the goddamn Chaos Soldier!
No, the legendary Chaos Soldier, once considered the strongest warrior alongside the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the hands of the Duel King, why has its potential become this in your hands?!
Why is everything you play so different from everyone else?!
Are you the pillar of the underworld or something?!?!
"It seems you've realized it now. Good. As long as this combination is on the field, I can recover banished cards any number of times. Each loop deals you 400 points of damage.
Of course, the loop isn't infinite."
You Xuan smiled as he spoke.
"Since 'Primitive Seed' also needs to recover another banished 'Primitive Seed', the number of loops is limited to the number of banished cards.
But as for my ammunition..."
There were also Shield Crush, Wind Emperor, Chaos Sorcerer, and Chaos Soldier, which were banished as materials when the Chaos Soldier was summoned, totaling four cards. With "Take Over 5" and the cards banished by its effect, that made a total of five more.
"My ammunition is still plentiful. The question is..."
You Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"...can you take it?"
"No, stop!"
"What?" You Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Speak up, I can't hear you."
"No, don't! Stop!"
"Oh, so you want me to continue? Good, you're a real man."
You Xuan nodded.
"Then I'll respect your wish.
I activate the Magic Card 'Primitive Seed' again, recovering two banished cards."
The Chaos Soldier expressionlessly slashed his sword through space, and as the two cards were recovered, the Magic Card transformed into ammunition and loaded into the Machine Gun Magician's hand, who also expressionlessly fired again.
The entire procedure was like a machine that had already started running, a precise and mechanical loop, as the magic bullet blasted out once more.
"Waaah!"
Luca, who had just gotten up, was blasted back down to the ground.
[Luca: LP 1500 → LP 1100]
Luca's face twisted in agony as he struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth. "You bastard!"
"I activate the Magic Card 'Primitive Seed' again."
You Xuan mechanically performed the actions, not even bothering to explain the process.
"400 points of damage."
"Aaagh!"
"I activate the Magic Card 'Primitive Seed' again."
". . ."
The lengthy loop was like a torture, a slow execution. The two Insect Victories with over 14,000 ATK each just stood there helplessly, looking like a couple of idiots as they watched their owner being blown to pieces right before their eyes, but unable to do anything about it.
It was hopeless; their controller was acting irrationally and completely ignoring them. They, too, were helpless.
"One last time, 'Primitive Seed' activates." You Xuan said calmly, "400 points of damage."
The final magic bullet decided the outcome of the match.
A proud Doma Swordsman lost his soul and his dream.
[Luca: LP 0]
