"I see, it seems you're indeed a rather special Duelist."
Zor waved his hand, signaling others to back off, while raising the Duel Disc on his arm.
"Interesting. Since you dare stand before my Overlord Army, you should be prepared for what that entails," Zor said in a deep voice. "This guy is mine."
Yugen chuckled and also unfolded his Duel Disc.
"Interesting, that's just what I wanted to say..."
"Duel!" x2
[Yugen, LP 4000]
[Zor, LP 4000]
"I'm going first, drawing a card."
Zor glanced at his hand and immediately revealed the card he drew.
"Summon 'Genetic Werewolf', in attack position."
[Genetic Werewolf, Attack Power 2000]
"Then I'll set one card face-down and end my turn."
"Now it's my turn, drawing a card."
Yugen drew a card and chuckled softly.
"A rare opportunity, let's see you make a long-awaited appearance this time...
...Summon 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Plug-in'."
[Artificial Human - Telekinesis Plug-in, Defense Power 2000]
"The effect of Telekinesis Plug-in allows me to sacrifice this card," Yugen said, "to add a 'Artificial Human' monster other than Telekinesis Plug-in from my deck to my hand."
A card popped out from the deck and was drawn into his hand.
"Adding 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator' to my hand from the deck."
Yugen drew the card into his hand, and the shadow of the Artificial Human briefly appeared behind him, its red eyes flashing with an intangible dominance.
"After that, I can check all the cards set in your Magic Trap Zone," Yugen continued, "and special summon 'Artificial Human' monsters from my hand up to the number of Trap Cards among them."
Zor snorted heavily: "You want to see my set card?"
Yugen snapped his fingers: "Trap Scan."
The red scanning beams from Telekinesis Plug-in's eyes targeted Zor's set card in his back row. The set card flipped, revealing it was indeed a Trap.
Trap Card - Fuse.
An original card used during Zor's duel with Judai in the anime. Its effect allows special summoning a 'Power Bomb' monster from your hand or deck in attack position and equipping this card to it when destroying an opponent's monster in battle.
During the next Standby Phase of your own turn, the monster equipped with this card is destroyed, and inflicts 1000 damage to your opponent.
"Confirming there's a Trap Card, thus Telekinesis Plug-in's effect allows me to special summon up to one Artificial Human monster from my hand—
—Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, summon!"
Telekinesis Plug-in's form dissolved, swirling into a golden summoning vortex. The imposing form of the Artificial Human emerged from the light, arms crossed majestically, with electrical currents dancing around it, entering with an aura of coldness.
[Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, Attack Power 2400]
As the Artificial Human landed, it seemed as if an invisible field exploded with it. Electromagnetic chains snake-like locked Zor's Trap in the back row, immobilizing it.
"Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, attack 'Genetic Werewolf,'" Yugen commanded, "Telekinesis Wave."
The Artificial Human's eyes glowed red, its palms crossed, launching a surging electromagnetic energy ball into the air. The Genetic Werewolf roared and swung its claws in defense, but was ultimately powerless before the brutal energy, blasted through the chest with a massive hole, shattering upon impact.
[Zor, LP 4000→LP 3600]
"Hmph... not bad," the Dark Realm Knight snorted.
Yugen: "Set two cards, end turn."
"Very good, take the initiative!" praised Judai, "Just keep up this momentum and finish it in one go!"
"Heh, don't get too cocky, outsider," Zor said slyly, "The duel is just about to begin. My turn, draw!"
Zor swiftly drew a Magic Card from his hand: "Activate Magic Card 'Planet Transformation', allowing me to add a Field Spell from my deck to my hand!"
He drew out his deck, quickly browsing through. The Demon's eyes rolled restlessly.
"Heh, I'm searching for this card... Field Spell 'Power Area'." (Original Card)
Also an original card used in Zor's animation, it is the key field of his deck. His deck theme revolves around "Power" cards.
Zor drew the card into his hand, shuffled his deck, and inserted it back into his Duel Disc.
"Then activate the Field Spell 'Power Area'!"
A transparent ball-shaped field of darkness exploded in the middle of the field, crushing the ground into debris under immense pressure. The stones scattered upwards, disintegrating into countless fragments and dust in the air.
It was like a massive gravity field that enveloped both areas, resembling a super-heavy gladiatorial arena.
"Power Area is the realm of the strong, a domain of absolute force!" Zor proclaimed loudly, "Just like this world. Only the strong can survive in this world; the weak can only be ruled!"
He then slammed another card onto his Duel Disc.
"And this is the monster most suited for this power field! Summon 'Power Assassin'!"
[Power Assassin, Attack Power 1800]
"Battle, Power Assassin attacks 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator'!"
The black monster let out a low roar, leaping towards Yugen's Artificial Human. Soga seemed annoyed that an inferior monster dared to challenge it, feeling underestimated, and its eyes flashed red, forming an energy ball between its palms to counterattack.
"Using a weaker monster to attack?" Judai was also surprised.
"Hahaha, Power Assassin's effect!" Zor declared, "When this card battles a monster with higher attack power, its attack increases by 1000 during the damage step!"
[Power Assassin, Attack Power 1800→Attack Power 2800]
Judai: "!"
A monster-effect version of Skyscraper?
The power instantly rose significantly, and the Power Assassin broke through Soga's energy ball with ease. Soga grunted as it got pierced by the claws, exploding into fragments.
Soga was frustrated.
Finally seeing field time under its master's command, it seemed destined to be mere cannon fodder...
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 3600]
"Hehe, it's not over yet. The effect of 'Power Area' activates at this instant," Zor said, "In the field of 'Power Area', battles come with the price of power!
When a monster on the field is destroyed by battle, its controller takes damage equal to its original attack power!
The attack power of Artificial Human is 2400, take an additional 2400 damage!"
The Gravity Wave struck down towards Yugen's position, exploding into a massive crater beneath his feet.
[Yugen, LP 3600→LP 1200]
Judai: "!"
A field version of Flame Winged People's effect?
A monster-effect version of Skyscraper, and now a field-effect version of Flame Winged People...
Why does this combination feel so familiar?
