Chapter 965: Time of Silence
Chapter 965: Time of Silence
As the golden cabinet descended, emitting a dazzling golden light, even the Yeshen couldn't help but pale slightly at the sight.
"What is this light? What kind of power is this?" Yeshen wondered in his heart.
It was just an ordinary magic card, so why did it give off a faint aura reminiscent of the legendary gods?
"This is the new power created by the 'vessel' you spoke of," You Xuan exclaimed.
Two souls, separated by three thousand years, had met because of the golden cabinet, and now their encounter was coming to an end with the same cabinet.
This cabinet carried not only Yuugi's nostalgia for his deceased loved ones and his reminiscence of the past but also symbolized his determination to carry all these memories and sentiments forward as he continued to move ahead.
Because of the promise they had made, from now on, even if he had to walk alone, he would protect the title of "Dueling King" that the two of them had earned together.
At this moment, as Malik and his sister stared at the sacred golden cabinet, it was as if they were seeing Yuugi himself in person.
Yeshen quickly regained his composure and said, "It's just a cabinet. What can it possibly do?"
You Xuan smiled lightly.
Just a cabinet?
Back then, wasn't the Pharaoh sent away by a mere cabinet?
"The effect of the Light of the Golden Cabinet," You Xuan explained. "Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can add one 'Light of the Golden Cabinet' card and another card from my Deck that mentions 'Light of the Golden Cabinet' to my hand."
Did he have a card in his Deck that mentioned the Light of the Golden Cabinet before?
Of course not.
But now he did.
You Xuan could sense it. This was the power Yuugi had bestowed upon him. He could feel that, in addition to the golden cabinet, there were now two more new cards related to the cabinet sleeping in his Deck.
If one were to understand it in the context of the Yu-Gi-Oh! game, it was as if Yuugi had given him a "Skill." The effect of this skill was similar to automatically adding two related cards to the Deck when he drew the Light of the Golden Cabinet.
"So, I activate the effect of the golden cabinet and add this card from my Deck to my hand..."
His Deck shone with golden light once more, and a card seemed to be drawn out as if by an invisible force, flying into his hand as if it had a mind of its own.
"Silent Magician Zero!"
This was the new form that Silent Magician had naturally evolved into after receiving the power of the Light of the Golden Cabinet!
"Normal Summon Silent Magician Zero!"
Donning a new outfit, Silent Magician appeared once again in a holy light, still wearing the snow-white robe and sacred magic circle. However, this time, her appearance was significantly different from before.
Previously, regardless of her form, Silent Magician always had a prominent chest and a curvy figure, her ample figure barely concealed by her flowing robe. She stood tall, exuding the aura of a cold and elegant beauty.
But this time, the summoned Silent Magician was much shorter, her once-tall figure now flattened, and beneath the white robe were a pair of short legs. Her silver hair still framed a stunning face, but she had transformed from a cold beauty into an innocent-looking loli, tilting her head in a slightly dazed manner.
[Silent Magician Zero, Attack Power 1000]
"Have the fairies of silence also evolved under the influence of the golden cabinet?" Isis asked.
However, as soon as she spoke, looking at the small, cute, and dazed appearance, Isis suddenly became unsure if this was an evolution or a regression.
"Silent Magician was originally Yuugi's ace card," Malik said. "It's not surprising that their powers resonate with each other."
The question was, what kind of power did this new Silent Magician possess?
"Battle!" You Xuan declared without hesitation. "Silent Magician Zero attacks the Fallen Angel Tescatlipoca!"
This move surprised both Yeshen and the Malik siblings.
Attack with Silent Magician, who only had an Attack Power of 1000?
"Are you asking for trouble?" Yeshen frowned. "Then, Fallen Angel, send it back!"
In that instant, You Xuan played another card.
"Quick-Play Spell, 'Silence Towards the Future'!"
The quick-play spell was activated on the field. The card illustration depicted Silent Magician in the same outfit as the one just summoned, Silent Magician Zero, but with a noticeably taller and more mature figure, as if a young girl had grown into a graceful lady.
Just from the card illustration, one could guess that this was a new power Silent Magician had evolved into after receiving the power of the golden cabinet.
"This card allows you to add a monster with the effect of 'Light of the Golden Cabinet' from your Deck to your hand," You Xuan explained, "and when activated during the Battle Phase with the Light of the Golden Cabinet and a monster with its card name on the field, both players can draw cards from their Decks until they have six cards in their hands!"
Yeshen drew a card, his expression cold. "So what?"
"You originally had only one card in your hand, and you just drew five more," You Xuan continued. "The effect of Silent Magician Zero increases its Level by 1 for each card drawn by your opponent. Since you drew five cards, Silent Magician's Level increases by 5, reaching Level 9."
"Furthermore, Silent Magician Zero's Attack Power increases by 500 points for each star above its original Level!"
With the opponent's card draw and the increase in her own Level, Silent Magician Zero's power was even more impressive than the previous versions in the novel.
"So, Silent Magician's Attack Power increases by 2500!"
[Silent Magician Zero: Attack Power 1000 → 3500]
Yeshen: "Attack Power of 3500..."
Indeed, with this boost, the Fallen Angel's Attack Power was surpassed.
Not only did the Level increase, but the audience could clearly see that Silent Magician Zero, who had been in a youthful form, rapidly grew taller in just a few seconds. It was as if her development had accelerated within that short time, transforming her from a loli to a graceful young lady in the blink of an eye. Her curves became more pronounced, and her once innocent and adorable face now exuded a cold and mature aura.
Silent Magician Zero's physical form grew along with her increasing Level.

However,
"If you forget about the Trap in the Graveyard, it will give me a headache." Yeshen declared, "The effect of Fallen Angel: Tescatlipoca!
Pay 1000 Life Points to gain the effect of the Degenerate Fallen Angel from the Graveyard!"
[Yeshen: LP 1500 → 500]
"The Degenerate Fallen Angel originally required sending a Fallen Angel to the Graveyard to activate. But since it's a direct effect replication through a monster effect, there's no need for a cost to activate it!
Destroy one card on the field!"
Yeshen pointed at Silent Magician Zero.
"Disappear, Silent Magician Zero!"
But You Xuan merely snapped her fingers.
"Quick-Play Spell, 'Time of Silence - Turn Silencer'!"
Another Quick-Play Spell appeared behind her. The card illustration seemed to be filled with immense energy, which swirled into Silent Magician's body, her staff, and formed a white transparent Magic Circle, emitting a blinding light.
"Time of Silence can increase the Level of any monster on your field by 3 stars. If the Light of the Golden Cabinet and Silent Magician Zero are on the field together, and you chain this effect to negate the effect of your opponent's monster!"
Yeshen: "What?!"
What?
The effect of Tescatlipoca was negated!
"Using the Fallen Angel's effect to copy a Trap from the Graveyard as interference is a powerful move. But ultimately, it's still a monster effect."
You Xuan explained, "Therefore, the Fallen Angel's effect is negated, and the Degenerate Fallen Angel's destruction effect is also negated!
Furthermore, Silent Magician Zero's Level increases by another 3 stars!"
[Silent Magician Zero: Level 12]
Silent Magician Zero of the Twelve Stars!
Yeshen: "This monster's Attack Power increases with its Level..."
"That's right. Silent Magician's Attack Power also increases by 1500 for each additional star!"
[Silent Magician Zero: Attack Power 3500 → 5000]
Attack Power of 5000!
This is Silent Magician Zero, further evolved with the power of the Golden Cabinet! White light swirled around her staff, and the endless light transformed into a spiral impact, bursting forth with the blessing of the white Magic Circle.
Silent Magic Burst!
The white magical burst pierced through the Fallen Angel, continuing its trajectory and striking Yeshen's puppet at the waist, sending his entire body flying like a broken kite.
[Yeshen: LP 500 → 0]
