Chapter 820: Deciding Fate
"Trap Card 'Farewell's effect, this Battle Phase is forcibly ended this turn!"
The trap's energy surge unleashed, an overwhelming force that instantly suppressed the entire field. The Jade Pegasus, mid-charge, collided with a golden electric barrier, and was stunned by the electric shock, only to be pathetically bounced back to its original position.
The other Treasure Beasts, though not attacking, were also pinned down by the trap's pressure, their bodies emitting faint electric sparks as if restrained by shackles, making it difficult for them to move.
"And the Magic Card I discarded is 'Compensation Amulet'." You Xuan said leisurely, "This card is sent to the graveyard, and I draw two more cards from my deck."
"Ugh, is it so hard to beat them like this?"
John started scratching his head, his already messy hairstyle becoming even more disheveled.
He had been confident, thinking that this time he would finally be able to draw the opponent's card. But the Battle Phase had barely begun, and before he could even make the first attack declaration, he was blocked by an iron wall, and the battle phase ended abruptly.
It was like preparing for foreplay for a long time, finally getting the chance to show off, but just as he charged forward, he was suddenly interrupted, and could only hold back, feeling frustrated and unable to vent.
"Ritual Power 12 - Hanged Man!"

You Xuan pointed at the green-shelled turtle and gave a slight nod.
John furrowed his brows.
Of course, it immediately transformed into a Jade Crystal and appeared behind John.
"Destroy the opponent's face-up monster with the highest defense on their field."
"Are you sure you want to summon a monster on my field? Is there no problem with that?" "Now, I activate the Magic Card 'Necro Offering'." You Xuan explained, "By special summoning a monster from my graveyard to the opponent's field, the number of required tributes for advanced summons is reduced based on the number of special summons. Then, I perform a normal summon from my hand." (Based on the original card effect) He found that this card left by the Ritual King was indeed useful.
"Well, it doesn't really matter which one is destroyed." You Xuan smiled, "I just need to free up a monster zone."
"However, when the Fool is on the field, it has another effect. Whenever the opponent activates an effect that requires a coin toss, the player can choose the outcome themselves."
John: "?"
"Indeed, the Fool has the secret ritual power to control fate. But unfortunately, only its opponent can freely choose their fate."
John: "!"
You Xuan smiled and held up a card.
"Calm down, John, don't fall into the opponent's rhythm!"
"I activate the Magic Card 'Holy Grail A'. It's also a coin toss. If it's heads, I draw two cards, and if it's tails, the opponent draws two cards."
"Now, it's my turn to draw."
In the real card environment, there are indeed similar cards that send 'annoying things' to the opponent's field, like the common trap 'Equal Exchange' used by Immovable Star, which has an effect similar to this card, sending monsters from your graveyard to the opponent's field.
"Ritual Power 12 - Hanged Man, with an attack power of 2200."
You Xuan paused and smiled brightly.
Furthermore, this effect is a basic ability of the Fool, and is not dependent on its own position.
"I understand."
Read the correct version at 69 Book Bar. 6=9+Book_Bar for the first release of this novel.
In other words, as long as the Fool is on your field, whether it's summoned in the upright or reversed position, I can freely choose the outcome of the coin toss.
Emerald Turtle reminded.
John took a deep breath.
You Xuan smiled and revealed a monster card in his hand.
"So I'll summon a monster from my graveyard to your field to reduce an offering count. I'll summon this."
John: ".
"Indeed. But its role is not just a shield."
"Then destroy Emerald Turtle."
"Sorry, everyone, my attack plan still has flaws.
Thus, the Fool card on John's field began to spin.
At first glance, it seemed to be just an advanced summon support spell card to reduce offerings, but in practice, it was discovered that the auxiliary summon was secondary, and the main purpose was to send various incomprehensible things to the opponent's field.
There was no animation for the ritual power, but it was included in the video game Duel Links based on card power.
"Ritual Power 0-Fool!"
"According to the effect of 'Necro Offering', I can reduce the number of offerings and perform a normal summon on a monster in my hand. So I summon this card—
He stared at the Fool for a while, hesitating to speak.
My turn is over."
John was surprised: "Huh? Are you going to give me this invincible monster for blocking?"
But what he wanted to say was probably, "You're really a 'Fool', so I choose the reverse effect of 'Ritual Power 12-Hanged Man'."
"And because this is a special summon instead of a face-down cover appearance, the Fool needs to spin the card to randomly obtain an upright or reverse position when summoned to the field."
John paused for two seconds: "Then I'll put it in defense position." [Ritual Power 0-Fool, Defense Power 0]
John: ".
You Xuan drew a card and then revealed a spell card in his hand.
"Of course, with the Fool, you can skip the coin toss and draw two cards directly."
"Yes, don't be shy, take it." You Xuan smiled, "And you can also decide the position yourself."
You Xuan said.
"Do you want to destroy my beloved family member?" John frowned, "The monster with the highest defense power on my field is 'Treasure Beast·Emerald Turtle'."
"When a Ritual Power monster is summoned, the card needs to be spun, and different effects are obtained based on the position." You Xuan paused and smiled.
The Hanged Man's card stopped at the reverse position.
[Treasure Beast·Emerald Turtle, Defense Power 2000]
However, it stopped at the reverse position.
"John's luck doesn't seem very good." You Xuan smiled, "The reverse position Fool doesn't accept any effects from my cards, and it can't be the target of card effects."
"Activate the spell card 'Ground Shatter'.
The ground instantly shattered, revealing a long crack. Emerald Turtle stumbled and fell into it, and then exploded into a fireball in the crack.
Is there such a thing? He couldn't help but look at the Fool on his field in amazement.
"But the position of the Fool when summoned is still decided by me." He said, "Even if it doesn't accept my card's effect, the Fool itself is also a powerful shield."
However, You Xuan hasn't found this card yet, guessing that it might be a trap from the Synchro era that hasn't been born yet. But it's not a big problem, as the effect of Necro Offering is similar.
You Xuan drew two cards confidently.
"Then, let's battle." You Xuan waved his hand, "Ritual Power 12-Hanged Man, attack 'Treasure Beast·Amber Mammoth'!"
Green, jelly-like tentacles shot out from the ground, wrapping around the mammoth and exploding it into fragments.
[John, LP4000→LP3500]
