Chapter 776: The Broken Puppet
Chapter 776: The Broken Puppet
"Impressive, very impressive," You Xuan praised, clapping his hands.
Although Alice had summoned her Chaos Ace, the preparation time during the Battle Phase had already been used up, leaving her unable to attack this turn. She could only end her turn.
"Then it's my turn. I draw a card."
He slowly revealed the face-down Monster Card on the field.
"Since you didn't attack it, I'll take the initiative to flip it over. I activate the Flip Summon, 'Mage Merchant'!"
When this card is flipped, reveal cards from the top of your Deck until you reveal a Spell or Trap Card. Add the first revealed Spell or Trap Card to your hand, and send the rest of the revealed cards to the Graveyard.
"So, you're randomly taking a Spell or Trap Card?" Alice asked.
"Then I'll begin." You Xuan slowly flipped over the first card and revealed it. "The first card is a Monster Card. It's sent to the Graveyard."
"The second card is also a Monster Card. It's sent to the Graveyard."
". . ."
In the following moments, Alice's eyes widened in disbelief as she watched him send nearly half of his Deck to the Graveyard.
"The tenth card is a Monster Card. It's sent to the Graveyard."
". . ."
"The twentieth card is a Monster Card. It's sent to the Graveyard."
". . ."
"The twenty-seventh card is a Monster Card. It's sent to the Graveyard."
Alice's mouth formed an 'O' shape in surprise.
"How... How did you..."
You Xuan smiled and gestured to his thick stack of cards.
"My Deck consists of sixty cards in total." He said with a mischievous smile, "Guess how many Spell and Trap Cards are among them?"
Alice: ". . ."
". . ."
"And here's the thirty-second card!" You Xuan revealed a Trap Card in his hand, "The only Trap Card in my Deck. I add this card to my hand and send the previous thirty-one cards to the Graveyard."
Alice watched in a daze as he sent half of his Deck to the Graveyard with a loud rustling sound, her small head filled with big question marks.
What is the purpose of all this?
"Among the thirty-one Monster Cards I just sent to the Graveyard, there's one 'Executioner·Mara'. During the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand."
"So, I activate the Trap Card I just drew, 'Necromantic Nest'!"
"By removing any number of Monster Cards from your Graveyard, 'Necromantic Nest' can destroy a face-up Monster on the field with the same Level as the number of removed Monster Cards."
Alice was a little confused at first, "Destroy a Monster with the same Level as the number of removed Monsters?"
"For example, your 'Puppet Chimera' is a 5-Star Monster. So, if I remove five Monster Cards from the Graveyard, I can destroy your Chimera."
Alice suddenly understood, "I see!"
"So, I remove five Monster Cards from the Graveyard and destroy Puppet Chimera!"
The energy of five Monsters surged into the Trap Card, like arrows shooting towards the cursed puppet!
"No way!" Alice exclaimed, "I send two 'Puppet Part·Gold' from my Deck to the Graveyard to negate the destruction of Chimera!"
She sent two parts to the Graveyard.
"And Chimera will become even stronger!"
[Puppet Chimera, ATK 2400 → ATK 3200]
"Then I'll remove another five Monster Cards from the Graveyard and activate the effect of 'Necromantic Nest' again!" You Xuan declared, "Destroy Puppet Chimera!"
Alice was shocked.
Doesn't this Trap Card have a once-per-turn limit?
"I'll send two 'Puppet Part·Pink' from my Deck to the Graveyard to negate the destruction of Chimera again!"
Alice sent two more parts to the Graveyard.
"Chimera's ATK increases again!"
[Puppet Chimera, ATK 3200 → ATK 4000]
"I remove another five Monster Cards from the Graveyard." You Xuan said calmly, "Destroy Puppet Chimera."
Alice's face turned pale.
She had completely understood her opponent's intention but was powerless to stop it, so she could only continue with a mournful expression.
"I send two 'Puppet Part·Red' from my Deck to the Graveyard to negate the destruction of Chimera once more."
[Puppet Chimera, ATK 4000 → ATK 4800]
"Remove five Monster Cards from the Graveyard and destroy Doll Chimera." You Xuan spoke calmly.
Alice was on the verge of tears, "I... I..."
"Yes, your four types of Doll Parts, with a maximum of three of each, totaling twelve, are now all in the Graveyard."
You Xuan stated this with composure.
"You no longer have any parts to send to the Graveyard."
Even with the ability to revive by sending parts to the Graveyard an infinite number of times, the number of parts in the Deck is still limited.
There are no curses that cannot be dispelled, and no nights that will never end.
"Doll Chimera, destroy!"
Necrotic Nest fired again, piercing the cursed doll through the chest, causing it to explode and never reanimate again, as if even its grudge had been shattered along with it.
"Necrotic Nest's effect activates again," You Xuan said, "Remove three more Monster Cards from the Graveyard and destroy the 'Bewildered Porcelain Doll - Alice' on your field."

Necrotic Nest fired once more, and Alice's last monster, her own body, was blasted to pieces.
Alice's face turned even paler, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Please, no more explosions, I beg you.
This is not a Duel at all!
"Then, my Field Spell Card 'Chaotic Space' on the field. Each time a monster is removed from play, place a Chaos Counter on this card."
You Xuan spoke calmly.
"So, calculate how many cards have been removed from play this turn?"
"Huh?"
Alice was momentarily stunned.
The doll began to count on her fingers.
"Hmm, five cards for each Chimera explosion, and three for Alice's destruction."
She raised her head and asked cautiously.
"A total of twenty-three?"
"Congratulations, you're right. You're very smart." You Xuan smiled.
Alice felt a bit embarrassed, scratching her head and giving a shy smile.
But her smile froze halfway.
Wait, I'm almost defeated by him, what's there to be happy about?
"Another effect of Chaotic Space allows you to remove four or more Chaos Counters from your field once per turn and Special Summon a monster from the game with the same Level as the number of removed counters."
Therefore, from the twenty-three removed monsters, I Special Summon this one.
You Xuan revealed a monster card.
"I'll borrow the power of Daidera-sensei's monster—
—Golden Artificial Being, Summon!"
A rock giant made of gold, towering and majestic, it was the very monster used by Daidera-sensei, an Alchemical Giant with excellent compatibility with the Great Universe.
[Golden Artificial Being, ATK 1500]
"The effect of Golden Artificial Being increases its ATK and DEF by 300 points for each card removed from play."
Alice trembled even more.
"The number of removed cards... that's..."
"That's right. Excluding this Artificial Being, I have 22 other monsters removed from play." You Xuan smiled, "So its ATK becomes..."
[Golden Artificial Being, ATK 1500 → ATK 8100]
"Attack power of eight thousand one hundred?"
Alice's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.
With this attack, it will definitely break.
She started to cry.
Indeed, I should have followed my intuition back then.
I shouldn't have come to this man's room tonight.
This place is like hell!
"Golden Artificial Being," You Xuan said, "direct attack Alice-chan."
The golden giant swung a fist larger than Alice's entire body.
Alice covered her head in defense.
"Ahhhh—"
