"Cover one card, the turn ends."
With suspicion in his heart, Hades ended his turn, his gaze continually shifting between Yugen's field, the long-legged whip-wielding female thief, and Yugen himself.
Of course, at this point, even if he saw through it, it was already too late.
"My turn, draw a card."
Activate Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from hand."
Yugen discarded two cards from his hand, but swiftly followed up with skillful supplement card combos.
"The Magic Card 'Card of Compensation' discarded from my hand allows me to draw two more cards from the deck."
Thus, Yugen drew two more cards.
"Activate cover card, Trap Card—
——Death Deck Destruction Virus!"
Immediately, a dark red virus rose from the ground, enveloping Yugen's field and the long-legged thief completely. Mina seemed to dissolve in the virus, rapidly spreading towards the opponent's field like a plague.
On Hades' field, his two Grand Generals, Hades himself, and the Demon Summon quickly succumbed to the virus, dissolving into nothing before disappearing from the field.
"What!?"
Hades was shocked.
"My strongest demon, even myself, how could it be..."
"Death Deck Destruction Virus sacrifices a Dark Attribute monster with 1000 attack power or less on your field, destroying all opponent's monsters on the field, hand, and drawn with 1500 attack power or more in the next three turns." (Old version effect)
The simple-minded Otherworldly Spirit had never seen such a vicious virus, and its eyes widened upon hearing this.
The field was blown clean, not even the hand cards...and even cards yet to be drawn were spared?
Hades' eyes were red with anger.
As if accusing this villain of deceit, to actually use biochemical weapons...
"Next, remove from play the Dark Attribute 'Black Scorpion - Thorny Mina' from the graveyard, and the Light Attribute monster 'Skeleton Angel' discarded by 'Damage Capacitor' last turn from the game.
Direct the wizard who commands the Power of Light and Dark, now appear here—"
Yugen dropped the Monster Card from his hand.
"Chaos Wizard, summon!"
Black and white energy swirled into a vortex, and the dark wizard appeared as if riding the wind, slowly descending.
[Chaos Wizard, Attack Power 2300]
"Next, activate Magic Card 'Revive the Dead'!
Revive a monster from your or your opponent's graveyard to the field."
Yugen pointed to the opponent's graveyard.
"Special Summon 'Demon's Summon' from your graveyard!"
Celestial thunder reassembled, transforming into roaring thunder when striking the ground! The demon covered in eerie bones, its arms crossing, still exuded a domineering presence as it leapt to the opponent's side.
[Demon Summon, Attack Power 2500]
Hades glared furiously at the demon.
"You dare betray me!"
Summon of the Demon: "..."
Yugen already ordered: "Chaos Wizard's direct attack!"
The wizard thrust both palms forward, light and dark energy accumulating in his palms, with magic power surging like a tidal wave.
The two consecutive strikes from Chaos Wizard and Demon Summon passed, directly determining his defeat!
"Counterattack Trap 'Attack Powerlessness'!" Hades shouted, "Negate the opponent's monster's attack and forcibly end the battle phase!"
A transparent cyclone unfurled before him, engulfing all light and dark magic power within, and soon being blown away by the domineering cyclone.
"If the battle phase forcibly ends, it automatically enters the main phase 2. But my turn isn't over yet..."
Yugen smiled mysteriously.
Then he pressed the last cover card button on his Duel Disc without haste.
"Activate cover card, trap... Demon Deck Destruction Virus!"
Hades' heart tensed.
Another virus?
This virus is...
"Demon Deck Destruction Virus sacrifices a Dark Attribute monster with 2000 attack power or more on your field." Yugen calmly said, "Destroy all opponent monsters on the field, hand, and drawn within the next three turns that have 1500 attack power or less!
I sacrifice 'Chaos Wizard' to activate Demon Poison!"
Chaos Wizard transformed into the virus's medium, and this time a surge of black waves swept forward. Hades' field was already empty, but in his hand, a subordinate monster clearly exploded open into the graveyard with a "pop".
Hades' expression was blank.
Then within seconds, it changed to bewilderment, then shock, followed by immense anger, grievance, and fear...
Previously, only monsters above 1500 attack power were affected, now even low-level fish aren't spared!?
Does this mean his monster summoning privilege has been revoked?
"You...you you..."
The Netherworld King, his green face turning pale with rage.
"Cover two cards, turn end."
Yugen smiled.
Hades' spine started to chill.
No monster drawn would escape being blown up, and the field was completely empty, with not even the basic summoning possible.
Then on the opponent's back field were those neatly aligned cover cards that made his scalp tingle...
No.
He is a proud soldier under the Overlord's command, he cannot fall so easily, nor can it be within this Overlord Array, in such a home ground.
Lord Overlord, lend me your power...
The spirit's pupils instantly contracted, the surrounding barrier seemingly engulfed with towering darkness at that moment. He let out a great roar, his eyes seemingly having a true king standing tall, commanding with authority, coldly overlooking all beings.
"Activate Magic Card 'Celestial Treasure Scroll'! Draw cards from the deck until both sides have six cards in hand!"
Yugen stroked his chin: "Well, this is borrowing the Overlord's authority then..."
"Oh oh oh, a splendid draw, feeling it coming through!"
Though he knew it was the enemy opposing him, divine draws left Judai unable to resist cheering. But after shouting, he immediately added: "But even if Celestial Treasure Scroll is used, the cards drawn will still be influenced by 'Death Deck Destruction Virus'..."
Indeed, as soon as his voice fell, viruses spread towards his hand. Two loud bangs were heard, and two more cards from Hades' hand exploded in succession.
"Death Deck Destruction Virus and Demon Deck Destruction Virus both take effect, any monster you draw must be destroyed." Yugen said.
Despite coming into ammo reload, the virus threat still couldn't be shaken off. It seemed absolutely unfavorable, but at this moment, Hades instead laughed loudly, suddenly bursting into laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Even the spectators, the minions, were shocked and uncertain.
The commander hadn't been driven crazy by the torment, had they? How could someone laugh under such circumstances...
"Haha, I told you, while in the Overlord Array, I am empowered with the majesty of Lord Overlord, no situation I can't break through!"
Hades shouted.
"The card you just destroyed, one of them is the Monster Card 'Flower of Death'!
If Flower of Death is destroyed by effect and sent to the graveyard, special summon a 'Time Flower Witch' from your deck!"
