Chapter 851: The Unclear Loop
Chapter 851: The Unclear Loop
Battle. Using Cyclone Eye, attack the Rose Token!"
You Xuan's Cloud Beast opened its single eye, and a ferocious tornado swept across the land with a mighty roar.
Amon shouted, "The effect of Temporary Truce! I won't take any damage!"
"I know, but do you remember the effect of Cyclone Eye?" You Xuan smiled.
Amon frowned, "So what does it matter if all monsters on the field must change their battle positions when an attack is declared?"
"The effect of the Wisdom of the Devil that I just sent to your field," You Xuan said with a mischievous smile. "When the Wisdom of the Devil changes from attack position to defense position, its controller must shuffle their deck."
Amon was baffled, "?????"
What was the meaning of this effect? Was this person insane?
[Wisdom of the Devil: ATK 1250 → DEF 800]
"Alright, due to the attack of Cyclone Eye, the Wisdom of the Devil changed to defense position."
You Xuan gestured for Amon to shuffle his deck.
Amon furrowed his brows.
He remembered what You Xuan had said earlier about his old Duel Disk not being able to automatically shuffle his deck, making it a hassle. A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Could this guy be trying to make him shuffle his deck endlessly, causing his wrist to cramp and questioning his life choices, just to prove his theory about the 'necessity of a new-style Duel Disk'?
But this thought was immediately dismissed by Amon.
No, how could there be such a boring person in this world? So, he had no choice but to take out his deck and shuffle.
However, as he began to shuffle his deck, his entire body felt like it had been electrocuted.
The world spun before his eyes, as if an invisible force within his deck was pulling him into it. He felt himself spinning and falling, his body seemingly weightless, and countless images, along with accompanying emotions, rushed towards him like a flood, almost overwhelming him.
Amon immediately reacted.
It was his life.
His birth, his abandonment, lying under the scorching sun, parched and famished, he could only helplessly gaze at the clouds in the sky, day after day, quietly awaiting death.
That distant past, which had long since left him, suddenly seemed to return before his eyes. All the torment and despair, everything seemed to have gone back to the past.
Then came the turning point.
As if by some stroke of luck, he was chosen to be an adopted son by the Gallum Corporation. Although his life afterward couldn't be described as smooth, and he had to face devilish training, studying, and striving to become the elite of the elite, at least his life had direction, and he had a goal that he was willing to do anything to achieve.
Until that goal and direction were snatched away again.
The birth of his younger brother changed everything.
The corporation no longer needed him as the heir, and he retreated from being the highly anticipated young master to becoming a shadow-like existence. He became a killer and spy for the corporation, doing all the dirty work that needed to be done.
During this entire period, what he found most difficult to forget was when his younger brother fell ill.
He had countless opportunities to get rid of this brother and reclaim his position, regaining everything he needed.
But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
No, it wasn't just that he couldn't do it. When his younger brother was at his sickest, it was Amon himself who ran around, seeking medical treatment and medicine, even going so far as to kneel and beg, until he finally managed to save his brother.
Now that he thought about it, if it weren't for him, his sick brother might not have been saved.
It was he himself who had buried his own path to kingship.
"Uwaah!"
A dizzying sensation of the world spinning overwhelmed Amon, and he suddenly snapped back to reality, kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, almost suffocating from holding his breath.
"What's going on?"
He looked at his hand of cards, then at the field, and it took a while before he realized what he was doing.
"What's wrong, young master?" You Xuan smiled, "Are you getting too caught up in the memories of your life?"
Amon gritted his teeth.
This guy...
He seemed to understand, and You Xuan explained that in this game, his deck represented his life.
Most of his life was filled with memories he didn't want to revisit. He had always numbed himself, preventing himself from thinking or reminiscing, and only focusing on the task at hand.
But now, he was forced to confront those memories, the darkest parts of his life that he never wanted to recall.
"The 'Regenerating Slime' on my field was summoned in Defense Position." You Xuan explained leisurely, "Due to the effect of 'Cyclone Eye', all monsters on the field changed their battle positions, so the Slime became an Attack Position.
And because of the effect of 'Black Garden', the Slime's ATK is halved, leaving it with only 750 points."
[Regenerating Slime, ATK 750]
"Use 'Regenerating Slime' to attack 'Cloud Beast - Cloudian - Rain Man'."
[Cloud Beast - Cloudian - Rain Man, ATK 1500]
Amon: "!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
A suicide attack?
As expected, the casual gust of wind from Rain Man instantly shattered the Slime into pieces. But the scattered slime immediately regenerated, returning to its original form.
[Regenerating Slime, DEF 500]
"Due to the effect of your 'Temporary Truce', I won't take any Battle Damage this turn." You Xuan said calmly, "When the Regenerating Slime is destroyed, it immediately revives on the field.
Also, because I summoned another monster, 'Black Garden' will Special Summon another 'Rose Token' on your field."
[Rose Token, ATK 800]
You Xuan chuckled lightly, "My 'Cloud Beast - Cyclone Eye' can attack all monsters on the field once this turn, you didn't forget, did you?"
Amon: "..."
He was now beginning to realize.
This was...
"Cyclone Eye, attack the newly summoned 'Rose Token'!" You Xuan declared, "And at the moment Cyclone Eye attacks, all monsters on the field except Cloud Beasts change their battle positions.
The 'Wisdom of the Devil', which just changed to Defense Position, changes back to Attack Position!"
[Wisdom of the Devil, DEF 800 → ATK 1250]
"After that, since my 'Regenerating Slime' is a monster that revived during this Battle Phase, its attack count is reset.
Use Regenerating Slime to attack 'Cloud Beast - Cloudian - Rain Man' again!"
As expected, the Slime was instantly destroyed by Rain Man. But the scattered slime immediately regenerated, returning to its original form.
"Regenerating Slime's Special Summon." You Xuan said, "The effect of 'Black Garden' Special Summons a new 'Rose Token' on your field."
"Cyclone Eye can attack all monsters on the opponent's field once. Therefore, Cyclone Eye attacks the newly summoned 'Rose Token'."
"At this moment, due to the effect of Cyclone Eye, all monsters on the field except Cloud Beasts change their battle positions. 'Wisdom of the Devil' changes from Attack Position to Defense Position."
You Xuan paused for a moment and chuckled.
"When the battle position of 'Wisdom of the Devil' changes, its controller must shuffle their deck. Come on, shuffle your deck."
Amon's face began to twitch.
This...
Infinite LOOP!
