Poma now feels very uneasy.
Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style is his ace card, capable of destroying any summon or cover card from his opponent with its superior resistance. However, his opponent doesn't summon or cover any cards, instead starting things off with a taunting hand gesture, leaving the Grand Aerial Assault Style's powers useless.
"Use the effect of the Crossbow Team to destroy the 'Abyss Soldiers'!"
The suicide attack of the Giant Bomber begins as its massive casing explodes with a thunderous roar, sending countless shards like burning metal meteors upon the Abyss Soldiers. The barrage of continuous bombardments finally shatters the detestable soldiers to pieces.
"To think you would use the rare summoning of your Giant Bomber just to wipe out those soldiers, how indulgent... Is my Abyss Soldiers really that annoying?" Yugen shrugged his shoulders.
"Hmph!" Poma snorted angrily.
Sly and deceitful Godwin, his dueling is as despicable as his personality.
If it weren't for the Super Gravity Net, the Abyss Soldiers would have been defeated last turn, sparing him the need for such extravagance... moreover, if the Pandora's Treasure Scroll hadn't preserved the Super Gravity Net, things wouldn't be so difficult.
Poma gritted his teeth.
The revenger of his siblings stands before him, yet this Super Gravity Net prevents him from attacking... such frustration makes one furious.
"Then I'll summon 'Yellow Springs Frog' in defense position," Yugen said.
The starlight whirlpool opens on his field again, a small frog adorned with a halo jumps out, star sparks erupting from its body as it takes a defensive stance.
[Yellow Springs Frog, Defense Power 100]
Yugen then draws three cards in one go.
"Setting three cover cards, ending the turn."
Cards are set on the side of the D-Wheel, their images briefly flashing before turning transparent and dissipating.
Poma's eyes showed even more rage.
Three cover cards, three covers...
Could they all be like the Super Gravity Net?
"Damn it, are you so afraid to face me head-on!?"
Poma shouted.
"Fine, then I'll use power to force you to confront me!
My turn, draw!"
Poma swung his massive arm.
"The card discarded last turn to activate the effect of 'Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style' was this card!
'Dark Adjustment: Death Submarine'!" (Original Card)
Poma revealed the original submarine depicted in the animation within his hand.
"The effect of the Death Submarine is that when there are no monsters on my field, this card can be Special Summoned from the graveyard!
Appear now! Level 9, Death Submarine!"
The dark-hued submarine emerges from the ground, accompanied by waves broken open, hovering beside Poma's giant war vehicle.
[Death Submarine, Attack Power 0]
"A Level 9 monster that leaps from the grave unconditionally..." Yugen muttered, "Original cards are indeed dominating."
Poma shouted, "This showcases the power of Yellow Springs! As someone marked by darkness, I am endowed with power beyond common sense!
I returned from Yellow Springs with life anew, precisely to seek revenge against you—Godwin!
I then Normal Summon 'Dark Sea Lifeboat' from my hand!"
A small raft appeared, inhabited by ghastly, skeletal figures.
[Dark Sea Lifeboat, Attack Power 0]
"Level One, Dark Sea Lifeboat!
Level 9, Dark Adjustment, Death Submarine!
Dark Star-Tuning!"
The stars extracted from the monster's body turned into a murky black, like the brightest stars having fallen into deep darkness. This dark power unlocked the gates of the netherworld, as a giant airborne warship slowly emerged from the dimensional depths of hell.
"Hear the cry from the depths of darkness, adorned with the God of Death's armor, appear now!
Negative Level eight! Dark Synchro—
Dark Carrier!!!"
[Dark Carrier, Defense Power 3000]
Jack, watching from the sidelines, had eyes nearly widened to the limits, feeling as if his whole worldview was being heavily impacted.
Dark Star-Tuning? Negative Level eight?
What's this cosmic joke? Does such a star level truly exist?
Dark Carrier, this card has also been realized. Of course, the animation originals like "Negative Star Level" and "Dark Synchro" were stripped of their absurdity, leaving the real card as merely an ordinary Eight-Star Synchro.
"Dark Carrier, activate its effect."
Poma declared.
"Once per turn, Special Summon 'Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style' from the grave ignoring summoning conditions!"
"So it's a Giant Bomber-exclusive Dark Synchro, customized for you?" Yugen stated calmly.
Since Giant Bomber was already Poma's ace monster before he touched the dark markers, the bespoke Dark Synchro given by the dark markers could only be explained as a customized card.
"Indeed!" Poma shouted, "The power of the netherworld has spawned new possibilities for Giant Bomber! This new power was born to make you repay your blood debt!"
He didn't bother to hide the act of card manipulation.
"Revive! Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style!"
A thunderous sound, as if a deep abyss filled with mortifying intentions, is reflected into the skies above.
Dark waters are slowly torn open as the Grand Aerial Assault Style re-emerges, veiled in sinister death energy, with vast might and oppression.
[Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style, Attack Power 3000]
"So, if you don't defeat the carrier, the Grand Aerial Assault Style becomes immortal," Yugen stated.
"Exactly!"
Poma shouted.
"This bomber is just like me now, achieving eternal life as long as the flame of revenge burns, returning from hell no matter how many times I die! Because I am burdened with the wrath of countless souls, I will never fall until I settle this score!
I activate the effect of 'Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style'!
Once per turn, discard a card to destroy one card on the opponent's field!"
Poma discarded another card into the graveyard.
"Destroy the Continuous Trap 'Super Gravity Net'!"
The attack lock, a complete isolation trap, had to be eliminated first.
The bomber soared above Yugen, dropping bombs, boom, boom, booming along the D-Wheel sides. The Super Gravity Net card was swept into the sky by the blast wind, shredded into fragments among the flames. The semi-transparent gravity barrier also dissipated.
"Now the attack lock is removed!"
Poma's powerful arm punched into the air.
"Go! Giant Bomber - Grand Aerial Assault Style! Smash that despicable scum!"
"Then I'll activate a cover card." Yugen raised his hand, activating from the backfield, "Counterattack Trap 'Attack Powerlessness'!
Negate the opponent's attack and forcibly end the battle phase!"
Poma: "What!?"
