Chapter 901: Giving It Their All Against the Demon King
Chapter 901: Giving It Their All Against the Demon King
"What a terrifying combination."
Commentator Sanze provided an insightful analysis.
"Future Fusion accumulates numerous Crawlers in the graveyard, and its effect allows for the Special Summon of a monster from the Deck with 0 ATK, which can then gain a boost from the Crawlers in the graveyard."
"This way, Yuuugen can effortlessly and repeatedly summon monsters with over 10,000 ATK to the field."
Marudome Shou gasped in shock.
Such a strategy was unheard of.
"By the way, King Venomous Cobra-Veno Milion can also gain an attack boost from Crawler-Type monsters in the graveyard. But unlike Victory Winner Bug, King Venomous Cobra isn't limited to drawing power from just Winner Bugs."
Yuuugen smiled.
"The effect of King Venomous Cobra increases its ATK by 500 points for each Crawler-Type monster in the graveyard, regardless of field position.
Currently, my graveyard has 25 Winner Bugs sent there by Future Fusion, and just now, there was also Victory Winner Bug, making a total of 26!"
In fact, in the previous turn, there was also Aganamamax, which had been defeated by Ancient Mechanical Golem. However, Aganamamax had been revived to the field through its own effect, and as a side effect, when it left the field, it had to be removed from play. So, Aganamamax was already excluded.
But even with 26 Crawlers, it was already incredibly formidable.
"Therefore, King Venomous Cobra-Veno Milion's ATK becomes..."
[King Venomous Cobra-Veno Milion, ATK 13000]
"Thirteen thousand?!"
Kouronosu's face of greed transformed into one of bitter disappointment.
"Mama mia!"
His prized Triple Fusion, Ancient Mechanical Golem, now felt like a mere younger brother in the face of this venomous king!
"Well, teachers, do you still wish to continue the attack?" Yuuugen smiled.
Napoleon Coach felt a momentary bitterness but gritted his teeth.
"Continue... Continue the attack!"
Napoleon Coach pointed at another monster on Yuuugen's field.
"Toy Emperor, attack 'Zexer'!"
[Toy Emperor, ATK 2300]
[Zexer, ATK 1800]
Toy Emperor charged forward, its sword slicing through the air, and with a single strike, it pierced through Zexer's body.
[Yuuugen, LP 1700 → LP 1100]
"The effect of Toy Emperor also activates at this moment!" Napoleon explained, "When this card destroys an opponent's monster, it can add any Trap Card from the Deck to the hand!"
Yuuugen raised an eyebrow.
Without field or type restrictions, he could search for any Trap Card. Indeed, the anime-original multi-god card lived up to its reputation. No wonder Napoleon Coach was said to rival Kouronosu; now he believed it.
Kouronosu shot a meaningful glance at Napoleon.
This Trap Card search was their last chance. In the next turn, when the 10,000 ATK King Venomous Cobra attacked, at least one of them would perish.
Napoleon returned the glance, reassuring Kouronosu.
Don't worry, I know; it's a sure thing.
As they say, familiarity breeds understanding. After all, having been rivals for so long, they had a deep understanding of each other's thoughts, and a mere glance was enough to guess what the other was thinking.
Team communication at its finest.
"I search for this Trap Card from my Deck,"
Napoleon revealed a Trap Card.
"Sacred Barrier - Mirror Force!"
Kouronosu gave a thumbs up.
Excellent, with the protection of Mirror Force, the so-called strongest shield, even the 10,000 ATK King Venomous Cobra shouldn't be able to attack so easily.
"Then, I'll Set a card in the back row and end my turn." Napoleon declared.
With a Set card in the back row, it was as good as a revealed card. Everyone knew it was Mirror Force.
Sanze crossed his arms, "As expected of the coach, even in such a dire situation, he finds a way to defend. Although Yuuugen has absolute field advantage, with Mirror Force in play, he can't just attack recklessly."
"My turn, draw."
Yuuugen rubbed his temples, feigning a headache.
"Mirror Force, with the strongest shield blocking the way, it's indeed troublesome."
Napoleon's face showed a hint of pride.
But before he could savor this feeling for more than a few seconds, Yuuugen's next words shattered it.
Yuuugen smiled, "However, teachers, you should remember that since Future Fusion was activated, it's finally my second Standby Phase."
The two professors: "!"
Indeed, due to Chaos Mode, Yuuugen's turns were shorter than usual, and it was only now that he reached his second Standby Phase. They had almost forgotten about it.
And so, the moment of the terrifying Twenty-Five-Fold Fusion's arrival had come.
"The zero point and endpoint of all things, the ultimate Xylophage—
—Xylophage Zero, Fusion Summon!"
As Yuuugen raised his hand, the Future Fusion card burst into a dazzling golden light. A beam of golden light shot into the sky, gathering like dark clouds, and an invisible hand formed a colossal being filled with terror and oppression.
The ultimate Xylophage, Xylophage Zero!
[Xylophage Zero, ATK?]
"The attack power of Xylophage Zero is determined by the types of Fusion Materials used during the summon," explained Yuuugen. "Its attack power becomes the number of Fusion Material types x 500 points."
The expressions on the two professors' faces grew even more grim.
Xylophage Zero's Fusion used twenty-five materials, so its attack power...
[Xylophage Zero, ATK? → ATK 12000]
Again, an attack power of 12,000!
Not a single mistake, a one-shot, one-hit, one-inner, one-content, one-in, one-6, one-9, one-book, one-bar, one-look!
Damn, it was completely numbing.
For a regular Duelist, a 4000 ATK monster was already on the level of Obelisk the Tormentor, a rare sight in most Duels. A 5000 ATK monster was like the Five-Headed Dragon, considered an attack power ceiling.
However, in this Duel, Yuuugen had casually summoned several 10,000 ATK monsters. It felt like others would exert all their might, unleashing a once-in-a-lifetime move that they could brag about for the rest of their lives, but he treated it as a normal attack. It was as if 10,000 ATK monsters were mere four-star grunts to him, and he could effortlessly summon a handful of them.
"Additionally, Xylophage Zero gains different effects based on the number of Fusion Material types used," Yuuugen continued nonchalantly. "When Xylophage Zero is Fusion Summoned using four or more types of monsters, it can send a Reptile-Type monster from the Graveyard to the game, and select a monster on the field to send to the Graveyard."
Yuuugen casually drew two Reptiles from the Graveyard.
"From the Graveyard, I send two Reptiles to the game, and I send your 'Ancient Gear Golem Ultimate' and 'Toy Emperor' to the Graveyard."
The two professors' ace monsters, Kurunosu's and Napoleon's, were powerless before the invincible Xylophage Zero. Under such a disparity in strength, the Toy Emperor and the Ultimate Golem were dragged into the mire of destruction, vanishing without a trace.
Both professors turned pale.
Now, their last hope rested solely on Napoleon's 'Mirror Force' in the back row. Facing such an overwhelming lineup, they felt like ants before giants. Without the protection of Mirror Force, their opponent could easily crush them into dust.
But this last glimmer of hope wouldn't last long.
"When Xylophage Zero is summoned using two or more types of materials, it gains an effect that can be used once per turn. It can Special Summon a Reptile-Type monster from the Graveyard in face-down Defense Position."
Yuuugen revealed another Reptile from the Graveyard.
"Special Summon 'Apocalypse Winner Bug' in face-down Defense Position."
He then pressed the Set button on his Duel Disk.
"Next, I activate the Set Spell Card 'Book of Moon' in the back row. Change all face-down monsters on the field to face-up Attack Position.
Change 'Apocalypse Winner Bug' to face-up Attack Position."
[Apocalypse Winner Bug, ATK 300]
"The Flip Effect of Apocalypse Winner Bug destroys a Spell or Trap Card on the field."
The two coaches' hearts sank simultaneously, plummeting into despair.
Yuuugen hooked a finger.
"Destroy 'Holy Barrier - Mirror Force.'"
It was almost like a death sentence; their last line of defense, their talisman, was also rendered useless.
"Of course, as the number of Reptiles in the Graveyard decreases, the attack power of the Snake King will also decrease. But it doesn't matter; it's enough."
Yuuugen spoke, but the two professors weren't listening anymore.
They looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw only shared despair.
Kurunosu: "Napoleon Coach"
Unconsciously, they reached out to each other.
It was as if, in their final moments, they could see the end clearly, yet they would never touch it again.
The spectators were speechless.
Why did this doomed couple, devoured by the great demon king, feel so familiar?
"This is the final blow."
But the ruthless demon king had no sympathy, only coldly issuing the final command.
"Snake King attacks Kurunosu, and Xylophage Zero attacks Napoleon!"
[Kurunosu, LP 4000 → LP 0]
[Napoleon, LP 2800 → LP 0]
