Great Cosmos, again it's Great Cosmos.
Luca's face darkened.
He had never heard of this card before, but seeing it for the first time today left a quite deep impression on him. Even though Yugen hadn't activated it yet, just revealing this card in his hand gave him an inexplicable feeling like his heart skipped a beat...
But thinking calmly, now he was actually not so afraid of this Trap Card anymore.
Most of his card deck's Alien Insects had just been sent to the graveyard, accumulating a substantial amount of resources there. Activating Great Cosmos now could only cause limited interference to him.
Moreover, he currently had two Alien Insect Victories on the field, each with an attack power of over fourteen thousand.
Advantage is mine!
It's close, he could see it, victory wasn't far away now.
And he was eagerly anticipating the moment when this irritating kid's LP would drop to zero, kneeling before him while having his soul drawn out.
It would certainly bring a stronger sense of fulfillment than defeating any previous enemy.
"My turn, draw." Yugen declared, "Activating the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity.' Draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
He drew the cards, then sent two chosen cards from his hand to the graveyard one by one.
"Next, the effect of the Magic Card 'Card of Compensation' that was discarded." Yugen continued, "By sending it from the hand to the graveyard, draw two cards from the deck." (Original Card)
Yugen drew again, while a somewhat eerie phantom automatically appeared behind him.
Luca frowned: "That guy is..."
"Executioner Demon Asura, when this card is sent to the graveyard, you can activate a Trap Card from your hand during your turn."
Yugen displayed the card in his hand.
"Continuous Trap 'Great Cosmos'!"
The re-activated Great Cosmos instantly rewritten the field. The dark starry sky replaced the entire arena, stars twinkling, making the two of them seem as though standing in an intangible void.
"It's this thing again."
Luca responded with a low hum.
"But what difference does activating Great Cosmos here and now make?"
"Well, it's hard to say." Yugen smiled, "I then activate the Magic Card 'Take Over 5'. Send the top five cards of the deck to the graveyard."
Luca: "?"
He looked rather puzzled as he watched Yugen pull out five cards and send them to the graveyard in sequence. Then he saw 'Great Cosmos' take effect, absorbing all five cards into the whirl of the Other Dimension.
What's this move? Activating Great Cosmos first and then sending cards to the graveyard, doesn't that swallow his own cards?
But Yugen didn't explain, golden lights burst forth from the graveyard, automatically excluding two more cards.
"I remove from game 'Interdimensional Scout', a Dark Attribute, and the Light Attribute 'Interdimensional Female Warrior' that I sent to the graveyard in the first turn."
He slowly raised the card in his hand, as if a beam of golden light burst from that card.
"The souls of light and darkness are sacrificed to the Chaos Field. The legendary warrior descends! Heavens open—
—Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation, Summon!"
The endless void of Great Cosmos was split open by sword qi, as if the stars themselves gave way. The legendary warrior, holding sword and shield, descended slowly from the vortex of chaos.
[Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation, Attack Power 3000]
"So it's the Chaos Warrior this time." Luca frowned, "The ability of Chaos Warrior is that..."
"Effect of the Pioneer's Envoy, activate. Once per turn, banish one monster on the opponent's field from the game." Yugen said, "Banish 'Alien Insect Victory'.
Chaos Warrior's blade slashed, where the sword qi reached, a deep dimensional rift was left behind, causing the space to collapse.
"Then, activate the Trap Card 'Skill Imprisonment' from the graveyard!" Luca declared, "During the opponent's turn, remove this card in the graveyard from the game, select one card on your field, and the monster effects targeting that card this turn become invalid.
I choose the 'Alien Insect Victory' you targeted!"
The imprisoning shield appeared, indeed blocking the sword qi slashed by Chaos Warrior. The chaos sword qi was obstructed on the barrier, spinning and bursting forth.
"What a pity, not even the legendary warrior could prove effective." Luca mocked.
"Indeed, how regretful... there's nothing to be done then." Yugen feigned regret, as if his tone bore the feeling of 'helpless, so I must resort to a lesser plan.'
Yet Luca involuntarily felt a little jumpy listening.
Because last time after hearing this troubled tone from his opponent, a 'Magic Tube' was silently flashed out, nearly taking him away directly...
"In that case, I normally summon 'Magician of Continuous Fire'."
[Magician of Continuous Fire, Attack Power 1600]
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Stupid Burial.' From the deck, send a Magic or Trap Card to the graveyard."
Yugen paused and pointed at his own field.
"In this moment, the effect of 'Magician of Continuous Fire' also activates.
As long as Magician of Continuous Fire exists on the field, each time a normal Magic Card is activated, it deals 400 points of damage to the opponent."
The magician's magic bullet shot out, directly hitting Luca. The latter carelessly took the light bullet.
[Luca, LP 2700→LP 2300]
Luca casually grunted, "400 points of damage, doesn't even count as a scrape."
"Really sorry about that."
Yugen chuckled, pulling out a card that automatically ejected from the deck.
"The effect of Stupid Burial, I sent this card from the deck to the graveyard... Send the Magic Card 'Seed of Origin' to the graveyard."
"But because Great Cosmos is on the field, cards sent to the graveyard are also immediately banished." Luca reminded.
"True."
Yugen nodded with a slight smile.
"But this card hides the latent power within Chaos Warrior, a force overlooked by everyone till now."
"Hmm?"
This statement instinctively made Luca feel uneasy.
"Now let me unleash this power... Activate the Magic Card from my hand—
—Seed of Origin!"
Luca was taken aback: "A second identical card!?"
Yugen: "When 'Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation' is present on your field, return your two banished cards to your hand."
The Chaos Warrior raised the sword in his hand high, slashing down with one strike. The space cracked accordingly, briefly opening a vortex leading to another dimension with its dimensional power.
"The two cards I want to retrieve from the banishment zone are these."
Yugen revealed two cards.
"One is the 'Earth Emperor Granmat' that was sent to the graveyard by your Alien Insect Zero when Great Cosmos was on the field, and one is this card that was just banished from the deck...
...the Magic Card 'Seed of Origin'!"
"Retrieving another Seed of Origin?" Luca frowned.
"Exactly."
Yugen added the two cards returned from the dimensional rift to his hand, calmly explaining.
"And at this moment, the effect of 'Magician of Continuous Fire' activated.
As long as 'Magician of Continuous Fire' is on the field, each time I activate an Ordinary Magic Card, deal 400 damage to the opponent."
Another magic shell hit the face directly, and Luca staggered back.
[Luca, LP 2300→LP 1900]
It's still only 400 points of damage, but Luca could no longer ignore it and couldn't help but start to tremble.
"The Magic Card 'Seed of Origin' that was just returned to my hand is activated again," Yugen said, "When Pioneer's Envoy is on the field, retrieve two banished cards.
This time, retrieve 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle', and the first 'Seed of Origin'."
The Chaos Warrior's face remained cold and expressionless, mechanically swinging his sword once more, breaking the spatial barrier again.
It was like saying, I am just a soulless machine breaking through walls.
Two more cards flew to Yugen's hand from the dimensional rift.
"The effect of Magician of Continuous Fire, 400 points of damage."
[Luca, LP 1900→LP 1500]
Another Magic Light Bullet exploded on Luca's face, making him somersault onto the ground.
But he didn't get up again, only sat on the ground, looking towards Yugen with a face full of fear and disbelief.
Pioneer's Envoy, Great Cosmos, Seed of Origin...
An overwhelming fear struck, along with a roaring desire—
——Goddamn hidden potential of the Chaos Warrior!
No, the legendary Chaos Warrior, once called the strongest Warrior comparable to Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the hands of the Duel King, why did its potential turn into this thing in your hands?
Why does whatever you play look different from everyone else's style??
Underworld People Jinchūriki is it???
"Looks like you've already realized it, not bad. As long as this combo is on the field, I can retrieve banished cards no matter how many times. Each cycle, I'll deal you 400 points of damage.
Of course, the cycle isn't infinite."
Yugen said with a smile.
"Because Seed of Origin must also retrieve a banished card when retrieving another Seed of Origin, the number of cycles is limited to the count of banished cards.
However, my ammunition count...
The banished cards also include Shield Shattering, Wind Emperor, the sum of four materials when summoning Chaos Wizard and Chaos Warrior, the 'Take Over 5' activated when Great Cosmos was on the field, and the cards banished according to its effect, totaling five more cards.
"The ammunition is quite sufficient, the question is...
Can you withstand it?"
"No... don't..."
"What's that?" Yugen raised an eyebrow, "What did you say, speak up, I can't hear you."
"Don't... stop it..."
"Oh, so that's a yes to continue, right? Well, you truly are a commendable man."
Yugen nodded.
"Then I shall respect your wishes.
Activate the Magic Card 'Seed of Origin' again, return two banished cards."
The Chaos Warrior expressionlessly swung his sword to break the space again, two cards were retrieved, and the Magic Card turned into ammunition filled into the hands of the Magician of Continuous Fire, who also fired again expressionlessly.
The entire process was like a machine already set in motion, precise and mechanized cycling, magic light bullets fired again.
"Ugh!"
Luca, who had just gotten up, was blown back to the ground again.
[Luca, LP 1500→LP 1100]
Luca's face was ferocious, gritting his teeth and getting up: "You bastard..."
"Activate the Magic Card 'Seed of Origin' again."
Yugen operated mechanically, not even bothering to explain the process.
"400 points of damage."
"Ahhhhh!"
"Activate the Magic Card 'Seed of Origin' again..."
"..."
A long cycle, an execution-like torment. Two Alien Insect Victory with an attack power of over fourteen thousand just stood on the field helplessly, like two big dumb guys, could only watch their master getting bombed into bloody mist under their own gaze endlessly, but could do nothing.
No way, the opponent doesn't act human, doesn't even bother with them, they're helpless too.
"Last time, Seed of Origin activated," Yugen said calmly, "400 points of damage."
The final light bullet, deciding the end of the match.
A glorious Doma Swordsman lost his soul, and lost his dream.
[Luca, LP 0]
