Chapter 831: Divine Dominator
Chapter 831: Divine Dominator
"Continuous Spell, 'Heavenly Court'!" Alice exclaimed. "This card can only be activated during your Main Phase. When you have a Level 1 Angel-Type monster on your field, you can Special Summon an Angel-Type monster from your hand!"
Just as You Xuan expected, a card that requires a Level 1 Angel-Type monster to activate would naturally be the Heavenly Court.
The question now was which Angel-Type monster he intended to summon.
Alice didn't make her move immediately but instead narrowed her eyes at the three Hand Holding Fiends on You Xuan's field.
"Hand Holding Fiend, although it appears to be an ordinary weak demon, actually possesses a troublesome ability." She smirked, "When a Hand Holding Fiend is in the Monster Zone, the opponent cannot choose other monsters as attack targets.
With three Hand Holding Fiends on the field, all three Fiends require the opponent to 'only attack themselves.' In other words, when all three Fiends are on the field, I cannot select any of them as an attack target."
However, she pulled at the corner of her mouth.
This chapter is also available on the 69 Book Bar.
In the original manga, Divine Dominator was a card created by the Card Shop Destroyer specifically to counter Katsuya Touji's deck, as they had analyzed his battle reports and noticed that his main deck monsters were mostly Dark Attribute-based.
"It's Divine Dominator?" You Xuan frowned.
Countless rays of light converged, forming a silver-white steel armor. It was an angel radiating dazzling brilliance, its face almost unrecognizable due to the intense light, and its arrival made the entire dark forest as bright as day.
"The absolute ruler of light, an angel that banishes darkness—
Alice narrowed her eyes.
There were currently two Hand Holding Fiends in Defense Position on the field, so the defense power of these two Fiends would be added together."
However, in the actual card game, Divine Dominator wasn't limited to targeting only Dark Attribute monsters. When this card was summoned, the Duelist could declare any Attribute, and all monsters of the declared Attribute would be locked as long as Divine Dominator remained on the field.
Indeed, this was a good card. It was a rare card, and Alice had gone through great lengths to bring it to the island personally, which You Xuan was very grateful for.
"I see." He muttered to himself, "So, it has a different effect compared to the actual card game version?"
"And I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn yet." Alice declared, "I'll take care of everything in one go this turn—
He had a vague memory of this card. It was a powerful lockdown monster, but he recalled that if it wasn't summoned using a specific effect, it was just a blank card with no effect.
"Divine Dominator is the absolute ruler of light, and no darkness can exist on the field while it's present!"
The unerring version is available on the 69 Book Bar.
However, after being adapted to the actual card game, Divine Dominator's effect was described more precisely. When summoned, monsters of the declared Attribute must be destroyed, and monsters of the same Attribute cannot be summoned afterward.
He paused, not continuing his explanation.
But Hand Holding Fiend wasn't a rare card, so it wasn't surprising if the opponent knew about it.
---Divine Dominator!!!"
However, as You Xuan examined the Advanced Summoned Angel on the opposing field, his expression became dangerous.
This was also a rare card. Its ability to declare any Attribute and absolutely lock it down held great potential, and it seemed worth investigating further.
You Xuan slightly furrowed his brows.
——I'm offering Cotton Ball as a tribute for an Advanced Summon! Come forth, Sky Knight Pegasus!"
"With that, your Hand Holding Fiend barrier is broken!" Alice Masumi exclaimed with satisfaction. "It's said that Duel Kings excel at locking down with multiple barriers, making them difficult to overcome. But now it seems that's not the case; the previous Duelists were just mediocre."
"Absolute Light Annihilation!" As the words fell, Divine Dominator radiated an infinite brilliance, like a white-hot sun exploding in the sky!
"The one I'm summoning is this guy."
"Not only that, but the Defense Power of Hand Holding Fiend will increase by the Defense Power of all other Defense Position monsters on the field."
At this point, Alice Masumi laughed three times and explained, "The Absolute Light Tyrant, Divine Dominator, while on the field, will destroy all Dark Attribute monsters, and Dark Attribute monsters cannot exist on the field!"
The original manga's description is just one line, "Dark Attribute monsters cannot exist on the field," but this line is quite abstract and not very clear. In practice, there's a significant difference between "Dark Attribute monsters cannot be summoned" and "they are destroyed immediately after being summoned."
In the original manga, although it only targets Dark Attribute monsters, it has the advantage of having no activation restrictions. It takes effect as soon as it appears, not requiring the aforementioned method.
Furthermore, the effect of this card has been significantly enhanced compared to the original.
【Sky Knight Pegasus, ATK 1900】
Cotton Ball transformed into a cluster of light particles that dissipated, and the light gathered again, forming a white light summon array. A majestic white knight emerged from the array and stood proudly on the field.
【Divine Dominator, ATK 2800】
He had a countermeasure.
You Xuan shrugged but didn't argue.
Even the shadows in the trees seemed to vanish into ashes as they touched the light. The scorching radiance swept across the entire field. You Xuan's three Hand Holding Fiends, even with their hands linked to form a barrier, couldn't withstand the intense light. In an instant, they were all annihilated, reduced to ashes.
Alice Masumi's mouth curled up in a smile, and she raised the card in her hand. The card radiated a dazzling white light that seemed to dispel the darkness.
Alice Masumi shouted sternly.
【Hand Holding Fiend, DEF 3200】 x2 "A Defense Power of over 3000 is not easy to deal with," Alice Masumi said calmly. "In other words, even if I manage to break through the monster effect's barrier, it's still difficult to overcome a Defense Power of 3000."
"Huh?" You Xuan laughed, "No wonder you're the Card Shop Destroyer with a hundred decks. Your card knowledge is quite extensive."
It sounds impressive, but in practice, it's not that useful. The real-life card version of Divine Dominator has a specific condition: it can only be activated during your Battle Phase if two of your monsters are destroyed by battle. Moreover, it can only activate its locking ability if it is Special Summoned in this way.
"Haha, that was in my younger, more reckless days."
Indeed, it fits the tactical style of the Duel King. Starting with a self-locking monster like this is typical.
"Apologies, Duel King, even though our duel is brief, I'll finish you off this turn!"
Alice Masumi shouted.
"Go! First, Divine Dominator, attack the Duel King directly!"
A dazzling light gathered, forming a massive glowing sphere in front of Divine Dominator! Like a white-hot sun, it spiraled and roared mercilessly, striking down at the Duel King!
