Chapter 964: The Golden Cabinet
Chapter 964: The Golden Cabinet
"Very well, I'll grant you a brief reprieve." The Abyss God hummed.
"Then, I activate another effect of Lucifer of Dawn. During either player's Main Phase, once per turn, by paying 1000 Life Points, Special Summon any Angel-Type monster from your hand or Graveyard in Defense Position."
【Abyss God, LP 2500 → LP 1500】
"Special Summon Fallen Angel Sobek from the Graveyard!"
【Fallen Angel Sobek, Defense Power 2400】
"Sobek's effect activates. When this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, Special Summon another Fallen Angel from the Graveyard in Defense Position."
The Abyss God brings back another Fallen Angel from the Graveyard.
"Special Summon Fallen Angel Uucbar!"
【Fallen Angel Uucbar, Defense Power 1000】
"Uucbar's effect: When this card is Summoned, send a 'Fallen Angel' card from your Deck to the Graveyard."
The Abyss God reveals a dangerous smile and draws a card from the Deck, sending it directly to the Graveyard.
"I send the Trap Card 'Degenerate Fallen Angel' from my Deck to the Graveyard."
You Xuan asked, "Are you setting up an interference for my turn?"
The Abyss God laughed, "Haha, you're merely an insect-like human, but your Duel knowledge is unexpectedly extensive. Not bad.
The effect of Degenerate Fallen Angel allows me to send any Fallen Angel from my hand or field to the Graveyard and destroy a card on the field!"
Malik was taken aback, "It's a powerful Trap, but sending it to the Graveyard is not the same as searching for it on the field. How can it interfere during the opponent's turn?"
Although he wasn't familiar with the Fallen Angel Deck, Malik was a legendary Duelist. Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized and his gaze shifted to Thescatlyboolka on the field, understanding the situation.
This Fallen Angel can replicate the effect of a Trap Card in the Graveyard by paying 1000 Life Points, and this effect can be activated during the opponent's turn as well. In other words, this Fallen Angel itself is a walking human-shaped Trap!
For example, if You Xuan summons a monster, the Abyss God can use Thescatlyboolka's effect to replicate the 'Degenerate Fallen Angel' in the Graveyard, destroying You Xuan's newly summoned monster, wasting their once-per-turn Special Summon opportunity, and disrupting a critical development point, leaving the opponent unable to play or make moves.
This is an incredibly oppressive ability.
"Abyss God," Isis spoke gravely, "Even without using your true power, you possess such a terrifying ability."
The Abyss God responded, "I've said it before, no matter how exceptional, you're merely a lowly human. It's not worthy of me using my original power to deal with just one human!"
You Xuan, however, remained calm and asked, "Is it that you're not worthy, or rather, that you can't?"
The Abyss God furrowed his brows at You Xuan.
"You may be the strongest among the three Abyss Gods, but in terms of power, you don't seem much stronger than the Abyss God of Fear Source from before.
I'm guessing that as the strongest God, the power you were sealed with is also the highest. That's why, unlike your brothers, you can't summon your true form in this dimension, right?"
The Abyss God let out a heavy hum. He didn't deny it but spoke arrogantly, "Even without using my true power, I'm already far stronger than those two incompetent beings. Dealing with you is more than manageable.
The World Pharaoh is no longer here, and that detestable Xiang Xiang She has been buried along with him. All that remains is an insignificant vessel."
The Abyss God ended his speech with a cold laugh.
"A mere vessel dares to obstruct our grand plan? Once I obtain the Guardian Elf and completely unseal the power, will a so-called vessel still dare to claim kingship?"
"A vessel?"
You Xuan immediately understood that he was referring to Yugi Muto, and couldn't help but laugh.
The term 'vessel' was commonly used during the Duel Monsters era, as almost everyone looked down on Yugi, considering him a novice who relied on heavenly proxies to rise to the top. But times have changed, and it has been many years since anyone called him that.
"What's so funny?" asked the Abyss God, coldly.
"Vessel, do you still think of him that way even today?" You Xuan asked. "Perhaps in the past, yes. But as the vessel of the king, even if he was an ordinary mortal at first, he endured the powerful soul of the Pharaoh and grew through countless life-and-death struggles together. Do you really think of him as just a vessel?"
"Mortals are mortals," the Abyss God replied. "Even with growth, they are merely slightly better vessels."
"Is that so?" You Xuan said. "Then let you see for yourself the insignificance of a 'vessel'. My turn, I draw!"
You Xuan activated the Continuous Spell Card, "Light of the Holy Tablet." When there is a Special Summoned monster on the opponent's field and no monsters on your field, draw 2 cards from your Deck!
You Xuan raised his Duel Disk.
It was only then that Malik and his sister noticed that the top card of You Xuan's Deck, the one that had not yet been drawn, was emitting a golden glow! Malik's face changed slightly. "That card, could it be...?"
The siblings exchanged glances, and without speaking, they knew that the other had thought of the strange dream You Xuan had mentioned the night before.
In his dream, Yugi Muto appeared, and through Yugi's hand, he obtained that unknown card.
"Draw!"
You Xuan drew his cards.
As the two cards were drawn from his Deck, they traced a magnificent arc in the air, like a golden crescent-shaped orbit, swirling around You Xuan.
Even before drawing, You Xuan had already sensed what the cards were, and he knew the gift Yugi had bestowed upon him.
Perhaps, after years of training and progress as the Duel King, Yugi Muto, this card with extraordinary significance had crystallized from his thoughts and power.
"Continuous Spell -
- Light of the Golden Cabinet!"
A sacred, dazzling golden glow emerged, and within it, a small image of a golden cabinet was formed. It hovered lightly in mid-air, and from the gap in the lid, endless golden light leaked out, as if the small box contained infinite miracles.
Malik and Isis, who had witnessed the Ceremony of Combat firsthand, were stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!"
The Golden Cabinet was something they remembered all too well.
It was a memento of great importance to both the Pharaoh and Yugi Muto.
Once, Yugi Muto spent eight years assembling the Millennium Puzzle within the Golden Cabinet, summoning the soul of the nameless Pharaoh who had wandered for three thousand years, his most important partner.
And in the end, he used the Spell Card "Sealed Golden Cabinet" to seal the Spell Card "Revival of the Dead," conveying the will of "the departed should rest in peace" to the Pharaoh during the final moments of the Ceremony of Combat, bidding farewell to his most important partner.
The "Light of the Golden Cabinet" that You Xuan revealed at this moment was a brand-new series born from the profound bond between Yugi and the Pharaoh!
