Chapter 913: Yue Bei's Love
Chapter 913: Yue Bei's Love
A single Dimensional Rift card caused Yue Bei's emotions, which had just calmed down slightly, to surge again as she began her turn.
It wasn't just about Najis Ryuuen; this card essentially sealed the existence of both players' Graveyards, dealing a significant blow to Yue Bei's original tactical plan, forcing her to reconsider her strategy.
"I Normal Summon 'Interdimensional Survivor'."
Yuuugen summoned another monster, a warrior with half of his body wrapped in a cloak, an experienced traveler of dimensions who frequently traversed various dimensional gaps.
[Interdimensional Survivor: ATK 1800]
"Interdimensional Survivor, attack 'Najis Ryuuen'!"
The interdimensional warrior flung his cloak and stomped forward, rushing out as an afterimage. His fist, carrying a powerful gust, slammed onto the lotus flower that had blossomed on the ground.
The defenseless lotus couldn't withstand the heavy and forceful punch, and the entire flower, along with its leaves, was almost smashed into the ground, exploding with a loud boom.
"I activate my Set card," Yue Bei declared, "Trap Card, 'Demonic Peony Seed'.
When an Attack Position monster you control is destroyed by battle: Negate the battle damage you would have taken, and Special Summon 1 'Demonic Peony Token' (Original Effect)."
This card exists in the real card game, but in the physical version, it can't negate battle damage; it can only Special Summon Tokens based on the damage received. In the anime, one Token is created for every 1000 damage received, while in the real game, only 500 damage is required to summon a Token.
"The attack from Interdimensional Survivor dealt me a total of 1800 battle damage."
Yue Bei explained.
"Therefore, 'Demonic Peony Seed' can negate 1000 battle damage and Special Summon a 'Demonic Peony Token' on the field."
[Yue Bei: LP 4000 → LP 3200]
The impact energy blocked by the Trap was absorbed and transformed into a seed that was scattered onto the ground, creating a transparent ripple on the surface before sinking into the earth as if it had fallen into the depths of water.
In a moment, roots emerged from where the seed had landed, spreading quickly and twisting into a plant that awkwardly appeared on Yue Bei's field.
[Demonic Peony Token: DEF 0]
"So, you turn damage into monsters with a Trap?" Yuuugen asked.
"Exactly," Yue Bei replied, "If I've learned anything over these past ten years, it's to grow from pain."
As she spoke, her heterochromatic eyes took on a distant look, and she spoke with a hint of obsession.
"At first, I didn't understand. All that pain, all that torment, I kept asking myself, why? Why did I have to go through this when the Tenjou I love, the Tenjou who loves me, could have spared me from it?
But later, I finally understood."
A cold and dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
"Pain is the expression of love. It is through pain that I can become stronger.
The essence of love is sharing—sharing joy and sharing pain. Sharing this pain I've endured with Tenjou is the ultimate act of love!"
Yuuugen: "..."
He wasn't sure if it was the years of torment in the cosmos that had driven her to madness or if the influence of the Light of Annihilation had twisted her mind. But from the outcome, it seemed she had gone insane.
"And you, you've obstructed my sharing, preventing me from conveying my love to Tenjou."
Yue Bei's gaze became increasingly menacing.
"You are an obstacle that must be eliminated! It's my turn, and I draw!"
Yue Bei reveals another Spell Card.
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Demon's Sanctuary'! I Special Summon a Metal Fiend Token to my field!"
Countless silver metallic orbs form a humanoid figure that hovers above Yue Bei's field, supported by a transparent magical barrier.
[Metal Fiend Token, 0 ATK]
"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell, 'The Underworld's Treasure Troupe'."
"Next, I offer two Tokens, the 'Metal Fiend Token' and the 'Demonic Peony Token', as tributes for an Advanced Summon! The demonic flower seed will bloom, and so it shall be—
—Split Demonic Rose!"
The two Tokens vanish, and a massive plant rapidly grows on the field. Its lush green vines are covered in thorns, and its vibrant petals seem soaked in blood, resembling a gaping maw ready to devour its prey.
[Split Demonic Rose, 0 ATK]
Without a moment's hesitation, Yue Bei declares, "The effect of 'The Underworld's Treasure Troupe' activates! When I Tribute two or more monsters for an Advanced Summon, I draw two cards from my Deck."
Yue Bei draws two cards.
A seven-star monster requiring two tributes but with an attack power of zero—clearly a monster with hidden potential.
"The effect of Split Demonic Rose," Yue Bei explains calmly, "this face-up monster on the field can copy the ATK of an opponent's monster during battle, matching its value." (Original Effect)
"I see," Yuuugen responds, "So, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it can lead to mutual destruction?"
However, if this is the extent of its ability, it seems inferior to the 'Mimic Illusionist'.
The Mimic Illusionist is only a 1-star monster but possesses the ability to copy the ATK of an opponent's monster. The difference lies in the fact that the Mimic Illusionist can only select a monster to copy upon summoning, while this Rose copies the opponent's ATK every time it engages in battle.
"Not only that," Yue Bei continues, "when Split Demonic Rose is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon two 'Demonic Rose Tokens' to my field."
She pauses, glancing disdainfully at the pitch-black rift on Yuuugen's field, and scoffs.
"However, with the 'Dimensional Rift' in play, even if it's destroyed in battle, it can't be sent to the Graveyard, rendering this effect useless."
The mention of the Dimensional Rift makes it seem even more detestable.
"In that case, we must ensure it doesn't get destroyed easily," Yue Bei says coldly, "I activate the Continuous Spell, 'Samurai Spirit'.
As long as this Spell remains on the field, my monsters won't be destroyed in battle when fighting against monsters with the same ATK."
The Spell activates, and the Demonic Rose is instantly enveloped in a transparent energy barrier, as if exuding a semi-visible aura of fighting spirit.
Samurai Spirit, a seemingly enigmatic Spell on its own, becomes significantly more potent when combined with the Demonic Rose. The Rose can always match the opponent's ATK in battle, and with the protection against destruction, it's virtually invincible, except for its inability to inflict battle damage!
"Battle!" Yue Bei declares, "I attack 'Interdimensional Survivor' with 'Split Demonic Rose'!"
