Chapter 434: The Entrusted Card
Chapter 434: The Entrusted Card
You Xuan: "My turn, draw!"
Judgment Arrow currently had Yubel on the field. Normally, Yubel would have a self-destruct side effect at the end of its turn, but this could be avoided by sacrificing a monster each turn.
"Offering Lotus" in the graveyard could regenerate at the end of each turn, making it the perfect sacrifice.
Fortunately, the opponent's hand probably only had the Yubel system and nothing more.
You Xuan was well aware of the potential hidden within Yubel in the future. In twenty years, it would be a top-tier deck, but in the present, it was like a caveman wielding a pitchfork against an aircraft carrier. If a boss-level opponent like Judgment Arrow had a deck of that caliber, there would be no point in playing the game, and surrender would be the only option.
However, putting future deck systems aside, it was clear that Judgment Arrow didn't even have Yubel's second or third forms.
This was only to be expected. In the anime world, while Yubel's original form wasn't a one-of-a-kind ultra-rare card, its evolved forms certainly were.
Before Yubel ascended to the heavens, its second and third forms didn't exist in this world. It was only after being launched into space, bathed in the waves of annihilation's light, and fused with the darkness of its tortured and expanding heart that it evolved into the "Knight of Obloquy" and the "Ultimate Doom Lord" forms.
Since Judai's Yubel hadn't returned yet, these two forms hadn't been born yet either. No matter how resourceful or skilled in card sealing Doom might be, it was impossible for him to have them.
In other words, Yubel was supposed to evolve and transform into a stronger form when destroyed by its effect, but this Yubel definitely wouldn't. So it didn't have destruction immunity, and all You Xuan had to do was destroy it.
With that in mind, You Xuan played another card without hesitation.
"I summon 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman'!"
A burst of blue water appeared, and a hero clad in blue armor emerged amidst the flying bubbles and splashing water, wearing his usual confident smile.
Of course, anyone would smile with such confidence if they could draw two cards just by being summoned and having no other cards on the field.
"When Elemental Hero Bubbleman is successfully summoned and there are no other cards on your field, draw two cards from your deck."
You Xuan drew two cards, added them to his hand, and then immediately drew two more cards from his hand and played them together.
"I activate the spell card 'Polymerization'!
The fusion requirement is a Hero and any WATER attribute monster!"
Everyone was astonished when they heard this.
A Hero fusion?
You Xuan?
Several people looked at Judai on the field, and they saw that he was already excited, chanting in unison with You Xuan.
"Born from the abyss of extreme cold, freezing all with absolute icy power—
—Elemental Hero Absolute Zero!!!" x2
A profound blue realm, like a biting cold wind, swept through the entire arena. Every inch of space was permeated with freezing temperatures, and everything was covered in translucent ice.
The snowflakes filled the sky, not gently falling but wildly dancing like a blizzard. The white cloak fluttered in the center of the white realm, and the pristine white hero embraced his arms, becoming the core of ice and snow.
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero: ATK 2500]
The strongest Elemental Hero in the world, the Ice Hero who was once very active in the real-card competition environment. Passed on by Hong Ye to Judai, and further evolved and enhanced in Judai's hands.
And now it was in You Xuan's hands.
Xiang Yu saw the strongest hero standing on the final stage and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, moistening her eyes.
"Hong Ye..."
Everyone in the audience was taken by surprise as You Xuan suddenly played this ace card in the final duel. Even Judgment Arrow raised an eyebrow, but soon returned to his indifferent expression.
"Just one of my defeated underlings.
You Xuan frequently utilized 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' in his duels, and with no limit on the number of Fusion Monsters in a deck during this era, including Absolute Zero was a natural choice.
Ignoring Judgment Arrow's growing irritation, You Xuan played another card. "I activate the spell card, 'Sudden Mutation'!"
"That card again?" Judgment Arrow frowned.
"By tributing a monster on the field, it mutates into a Fusion Monster of the same level. I tribute 'Elemental Hero Absolute Zero'."
You Xuan waved his hand, and the ice and snow transformed into a blizzard, engulfing the pristine white hero within. This was the true power of Absolute Zero—his departure from the field was when he was at his strongest.
"At this moment, its effect activates," You Xuan explained. "When this card leaves the field, all monsters your opponent controls are destroyed!"
This was the brand-new effect that Judai had bestowed upon this card.
"Absolute Zero!"
The power of absolute frost was akin to a glacier, instantly freezing everything in Judgment Arrow's field. Crystals of ice encased Judgment Arrow's monsters, including Yubel and Cyber Dragon behind it. Soon, cracks appeared, and with a series of crisp cracks, the ice sculptures shattered into pieces that littered the field.
Judgment Arrow remained silent, but his expression darkened.
The evolved form of Yubel's last words was unique to Judai's sprite, and this pompous Yubel, devoid of substance, naturally had no effect when destroyed.
Although Cyber Dragon Zirnitron had a last word, allowing it to summon "Cyber Dragon Sievern" from the deck when it left the field, Judgment Arrow chose not to activate this effect.
Sievern's attack and defense were determined by the amount of damage Zirnitron had absorbed while on the field. As Zirnitron had only been on the field for a short time before being removed, Sievern would be a massive target if summoned. Clearly, Judgment Arrow had decided that Sievern had a more important role to play than merely serving as a shield.
However, You Xuan knew something even more crucial. He was aware that "Cyber Dragon Sievern" also had a last word, allowing it to summon the true ace of the Cyber Dragon deck, the final boss with infinite attack power— "Cyber End Dragon."
Yet, You Xuan fearlessly destroyed Judgment Arrow's field, unconcerned about triggering this final last word. He knew there was another condition that had to be met for the Cyber End Dragon to make its dramatic entrance.
And that condition was having over 10,000 life points.
For the Cyber End Dragon to appear, Judgment Arrow would need to sacrifice Sievern and then offer his own life points, totaling more than 10,000. With Judgment Arrow's current life points at only 1200, he was far from meeting that condition, allowing You Xuan to unleash his attack without fear of summoning the formidable dragon.
Although Judgment Arrow was unaware of You Xuan's thoughts, he felt a strange sense of being seen through, his expression growing grimmer by the second.
"Elemental Hero Absolute Zero is an eight-star monster," You Xuan continued, explaining the mechanics of his strategy. "So, with the effect of 'Sudden Mutation,' I can Special Summon an eight-star Fusion Monster.
And the monster I choose to summon is this card—"
You Xuan's Duel Disk lit up, and the Fusion Monster card automatically dropped into his hand. He held the card high, and the arena was filled with flashing lights, the sound of metal parts rubbing against each other, the whirring of machinery, and the rumble of a heavy engine.
"Level Eight—
—Chimeratech Overdragon!!!"
