Chapter 775: The Curse of the Undead
Chapter 775: The Curse of the Undead
"Evolution Shockwave!"
The Electronic Dragon breathed out a stream of light, colliding head-on with the suicidal attack of the Doll Part. As expected, the doll couldn't withstand the impact and exploded into fragments under the dragon's fiery breath.
[Alice, LP 4000 → LP 2950]
However, her intentions quickly became clear.
"I activate this Instant Spell Card, Trap Card, 'Necromantic Puppeteer'!" Alice declared, "When a monster with 'Doll Part' in its name, which is on my field, is destroyed in battle, I can activate this card.
I Special Summon two monsters from my Deck with 'Doll Part' in their names in Defense Position!" (Original Card)
Alice searched her Deck again and retrieved two more cards.
"Special Summon 'Pink Doll Body' and 'Red Doll Limb'!"
Consistent with the previous monster's style, the Red Doll Limb was a pair of damaged doll legs, with one foot still wearing a red high-heeled shoe. The Pink Doll Body was a tattered doll torso, but only the torso; the head, arms, and legs were all pitch-black voids, and a massive crack split its waist.
[Red Doll Limb, ATK 0]
[Pink Doll Body, ATK 0]
"Next, I activate this Trap Card, 'Soul of Resurrection.' I Special Summon one Normal Monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position!" Alice continued, "I Special Summon the recently destroyed 'Blue Doll Limb' in Defense Position!"
The eerie doll's head was summoned back to the field.
"With the head, body, hands, and feet all gathered, let me guess." You Xuan said, "It's time for a fusion?"
"Just one more step." Alice smiled lightly and added, "Blue Doll Limb, attack the 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' on your field!"
The Blue Doll Limb launched another deadly charge.
[Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice, DEF 1000]
As expected, Alice was hit by the rebound and took damage, retreating half a step in disarray.
[Alice, LP 2950 → LP 1950]
"But at this moment, Alice's effect also activates." Alice explained, "When Alice becomes the target of an attack, she inflicts 500 points of damage on her opponent—that is, me."
[Alice, LP 1950 → LP 1450]
The doll girl took the damage, then said, "But after this, its control will transfer again. Please return my doll to me!"
The real porcelain doll, Alice, returned to Alice's field.
"With this, the preparations are complete!" Alice declared, "Finally, I activate the Spell Card, 'Puppet Controller Burial'! When 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' is on my field, I can Special Summon 'Puppet Chimera' from my hand or Deck by offering one each of the Doll Parts—Gold, Blue, Pink, and Red—from my field as a Tribute.
The four doll parts assembled and fused, transforming into a disheveled, menacing walking doll with empty eyes and an eerie, sinister expression on its emotionless face.
[Puppet Chimera, ATK 0]
"Puppet Chimera cannot be Normal Summoned; it can only be Special Summoned through the effect of 'Puppet Controller Burial.'" Alice explained, "This card's ATK increases by 400 points for each monster with 'Doll Part' in its name in my Graveyard.
Currently, I have four Doll Parts in my Graveyard, so its ATK increases by 1600!"
[Puppet Chimera, ATK 0 → ATK 1600]
As the monster appeared, You Xuan seemed to sense a malevolent aura from it, akin to a collection of grudges.
You Xuan understood at once. This was likely the original form of the card that was torn, a grudge-filled spirit that had corrupted the mind of the doll girl.
However, it was merely a spirit consumed by grudges, neither an ancient evil deity nor an invader from another universe, lacking an impressive background. Although somewhat eerie, its strength was average from a transcendent perspective.
Moreover, even after turning dark, all it desired was to "beat those detestable Duelists so badly that they would never want to play cards again." Before that, she would even do chores and cook for them.
Thinking about it, it seemed rather adorable.
If this was considered evil, then You Xuan thought he should be the epitome of evil, with an endless list of sins and a fate that defied heaven's justice.
"This is the terrifying Puppet Chimera itself, dragging all Duelists into a realm of despair where hope is unseen, forever losing their Duelist's Heart."
Alice recited the lines passionately, but suddenly frowned.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing, nothing." You Xuan waved his hand, "I just remembered something funny. Don't mind me, continue."
It wasn't intentional sarcasm, but this card required a specific setup with Alice and four Doll Parts on the field, and a particular magic card to summon. And this was the result.

If not for the spirit taking the field personally, who knows who could play this deck? Alice blushed.
"Don't underestimate Chimera! You'll regret it!
I activate the Magic Card 'Puppet Controller Burial', destroying one of my monsters on the field, drawing two cards from my deck, and changing the battle position of one of your monsters!"
She destroyed her own 'Puppet Chimera' and changed the 'Electronic Dragon' to Defense Position.
【Electronic Dragon, DEF 1600】
The moment Puppet Chimera appeared, it exploded into fragments. Alice drew two cards.
You Xuan raised his eyebrows.
The Doll Girl's deck seemed incredibly difficult to use at first glance, but this Magic Card was quite handy. It could selectively destroy monsters, accelerate card drawing, and change the battle position of an opponent's monster, making it a very useful card.
Alice drew two cards and declared, "The effect of 'Puppet Chimera' also activates! When this card is destroyed, send two Doll Parts from the deck to the graveyard to negate the destruction of this card!"
She revealed two cards.
"I send two 'Blue Puppet Limbs' from my deck to the graveyard to negate the destruction of Puppet Chimera!"
"I see, so it can revive no matter how many times it's destroyed. And because new puppet parts are sent to the graveyard each time it revives, it becomes stronger and stronger." You Xuan nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Exactly!" Alice exclaimed proudly, "Alice just sent two new parts to the graveyard, so Chimera's ATK increases by 800!"
【Puppet Chimera, ATK 1600 → ATK 2400】
"Now you understand, Chimera is immortal and can grow infinitely stronger!" Alice declared, "This is the power of the cursed doll, rejected and abandoned by Duelists!
No matter how many times it's sent to hell, it will always revive. It's the embodiment of grudges, an immortal cursed monster!"
