Chapter 827: The Struggling Cat
Chapter 827: The Struggling Cat
"You plan to win like this?!" Moth yelled in anger.
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Great Temple smiled, "In a Duel, as long as you win, does it matter what tactics you use?"
Moth gritted his teeth.
Well, he himself wasn't exactly an honest Duelist either. He had secretly added cards to his opponent's Deck to ensure victory before.
But this was extremely frustrating!
Especially being beaten by a cat, which made it even more infuriating.
"Finally, I activate the Magic Card 'Nigredo - Black Process - Nigredo.' This card can only be activated when an Alchemical Pot exists on my field.
Therefore, Helios's ATK is now 1200," Great Temple said.

"What the...?!" Moth exclaimed in shock, "My Insect Queen? Why won't you let me Summon her?"
Great Temple's Iron Flame Dragon, Lead Lion, and Copper Scaled Python on the field were simultaneously enveloped by a golden light, and then they transformed into three rays of light and were absorbed into the massive Alchemical Pot in the back, followed by a loud rumbling sound as they were banished.
"Also, the effects of the three Disruption Tokens you destroyed on your field just activated. Each time a Token is destroyed, you must take 300 points of damage," Great Temple explained.
"Huh?" Great Temple narrowed his eyes, "Is this a combination with 'DNA Transformation Surgery'?"
Moth was outplayed by Great Universe, leaving his field empty once again. He clenched his teeth but refused to give up.
"Hehe, I know. You thought I intentionally Summoned the Substitute Locust first and then activated Insecticide for a reason?" Great Temple raised his arm and struck a pose unique to Duelists when they Summon their Ace.
In that moment, he seemed to realize something.
"Dual Sun - Helios, ATK?"
"My Ace isn't just the Ultimate Insect. Now, you'll truly understand."
As he spoke, the three Disruption Tokens on his field began to mutate, growing insect legs and mouthparts like the monsters from a horror movie.
Great Temple chuckled.
"Haha, you even have this move, meow." Great Temple smiled, "Not bad. If they're all Insects, your Summoning restrictions are indeed lifted."
"I activate my Set Card! Continuous Trap 'DNA Transformation Surgery'! Change all monsters on the field to the Type I declare. I declare Insects!"
"Well, it's not too high, but it's just enough," Great Temple said with a brilliant smile.
Moth narrowed his eyes and glanced at the War of the Heavens on the opposite side.
But unfortunately...
"Triple Sun - Helios, ATK 1200!"
"Primeval Sun - Helios!" Great Temple maintained his pose with his arm raised for a few seconds, and the atmosphere became a bit stiff.
"Your Substitute Locust will never reach the graveyard."
Moth turned over his next card, then immediately waved his hand to reveal his back row.
But in the end, the Pharaoh just hung his head, looking listless as he shuffled his Deck again, searching for a card. "Appear!" Great Temple shouted dramatically, "Triple Sun - Helios!!!"
Then, there was another awkward silence.
The orange cat once again had to slowly pull out a card from his Deck, demonstrating the importance of a Duel Disk that could automatically search and shuffle.
Great Temple's ammunition was instantly replenished.
"Primeval Sun - Helios, ATK?"
"The effect of Substitute Locust! When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can Special Summon any Insect-Type monster from my hand!"
Moth stood up with a sullen expression.
"You thought this would stop me, but it's not enough to lock me down.
Insect Queen, the new generation Ace that Moth revealed during his Duel with Yugi in Duel City. Although it didn't seem very strong at the time, later generations proved that this monster still had untapped potential.
"My turn, Draw!"
In other words, the nostalgic Insect Queen received a new skin called "Ultimate Mutant Insect Queen." Compared to the original Insect Queen, this was a significant upgrade of more than just a few stars.
"Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Rubedo - Red Process - Rubedo'! Using Dual Sun as a Tribute, upgrade once more! Special Summon 'Triple Sun - Helios' from the Deck!"
"Quick-Play Magic 'Dual Cyclone'. Destroy one Magic or Trap Card on my field and one Magic or Trap Card on your field simultaneously!"
"Insect Queen!!!"
Great Temple showed no mercy and didn't even wait for Moth to finish before casually revealing a card from his hand.
Moth then noticed the Set Card that Great Temple had activated in the back row.
"Moth, LP 1100"
The massive shadow disappeared instantly. The pitiful Insect Queen didn't even get a chance to appear, leaving only a pitiful scream before vanishing.
In contrast to the majestic Ace burning with three flames and the passionate Great Temple who had Summoned his Ace, there was the orange cat lying on the ground, looking weak and powerless.
Great Temple sighed, "That's why I said, assigning such an important task to a cat, the manager is really taking a big risk."
"Not bad!" Moth said, "No matter how powerful the monster is, it's useless under the effect of the Bug Net."
"I see, the COMBO of DNA Transformation Surgery and Insecticide, which turns any monster on the opponent's field into an Insect-Type and then uses Insecticide to clear the field?"
The Duel Disk emitted a beeping sound, and flickering currents surged in the Monster Zone.
Moth's body tensed with anger.
Then, from his hand, he activated the Magic Card 'Kitorinix - Yellow Process - Kitorinix'! By offering Helios as a Tribute, he upgraded Primeval Sun and Special Summoned 'Gemini Sun - Helios' from his Deck!"
Moth's heart tightened.
The Bug Net was useless.
Was the Duel Disk malfunctioning?
"What?"
"I don't know what you're trying to do."
"Descend—
Moth's expression froze.
"Meow?"
"My turn, draw!"
Great Temple pushed up his glasses and said sternly.
Pharaoh lazily blinked his large, innocent eyes and looked at the floating ghost of Great Temple in mid-air.
"Hahaha, very interesting tactic. But your 'Sub Locust' can only be Special Summoned when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard."
After a while, the fat orange cat struggled to place a Monster Card on the Duel Disk and then laboriously put the shuffled Deck back into the Duel Disk.
In the pitch-black universe, the stars seemed to dim. The sun's fire was ignited, as if a being at the center of this vast universe was about to descend!
"Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Thorn God's Insecticide'!" Moth waved a Magic Card and shouted, "Destroy all Insect-Type monsters on the field!"
The cat suddenly felt the urge to beat up this ghost: "..."
Pharaoh lazily glanced at Great Temple and meowed weakly.
[Sub Locust, ATK 1000]
He laughed and raised a card in his hand.
"Remove from play all monsters on my field with 'Alchemical Beast' in their names. For each removed monster, I can draw 2 cards from my Deck."
"Come, Helios!"
[Triple Sun - Helios, ATK?]
Moth: "..."
"Then, I Set a card and end my turn."
"Destroy the Continuous Trap 'War of the Heavens' and the Continuous Trap 'DNA Transformation Surgery' together." Great Temple smiled, "Now, my monsters are no longer Insect-Type."
Moth's pupils constricted, and he held his breath, staring at the fire. Instinctively, he dared not breathe, but nothing happened.
Great Temple raised his arm high and shouted in a very cool manner.
[Moth, LP 2000 → LP 1100] "Furthermore, with the descent of the Great Universe, the ultimate Alchemical Life will be brought forth!"
What the hell. So now I don't even have a Graveyard?
He was already a dead man.
The fat orange cat found the card he was looking for and placed it on the Duel Disk with his mouth.
Just as the fat orange cat finished putting the shuffled Deck back, he froze.
"But I don't have any monsters on my field now, and the only card destroyed was your Field Spell Card, meow."
"You damn cat, you'll see what happens when you anger me, Moth! My turn, draw!"
"Then, I Normal Summon 'Sub Locust'!"
It's like saying, I did all the hard work, and you're just standing there looking cool, "The ATK of Helios is 300 x the number of monsters removed from play." Great Temple explained, "I have three Alchemical Beasts removed from play, and your Sub Locust was also removed from play by the Great Universe last turn.
The correct version is in Chapter 69 of the book. 6 = 9 + Book _ Bar's first release novel.
"I activate the Continuous Spell 'Bug Net'! All Insect-Type monsters on the opponent's field cannot attack!"
Moth was dazed for a few seconds and slowly lowered his head. The fat orange cat was struggling to pull the Deck out of the Duel Disk and then searching through that pile of cards with his hands and mouth.
A sharp female voice rang out, followed by a tremor like an earthquake. A massive black presence appeared on the field, as if a powerful being was answering the Duelist's call and about to descend.
However, "Error."
"I removed three Alchemical Beasts, so I draw six cards from my Deck!"
Descend! The ruler of insects—
Moth sneered and waved his hand.
"Continuous Trap 'Great Universe'!" Great Temple said, "As long as this card is on the field, all cards sent to the Graveyard by both players are removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard!"
"You damn cat!"
"Battle." Great Temple said, "Triple Sun - Helios, direct attack."
The sun unleashed a spiral flame that pierced through Moth. Moth roared in frustration and eventually knelt in the rising flames.
[Moth, LP 1100 → LP 0]
