Blue water surged out and swept across both sides of the field. The two set Green Baboons and the newly arrived D.D. Warrior Lady were all Destroyed. "And at this moment, because a Beast-Type Monster on the field was Destroyed, the effect of the third Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest in my hand activates too!" (ANIME EFFECT)
The envoy laughed loudly. "I pay 1000 Life Points and Special Summon the third Green Baboon!"
This was still the old effect from before the adjustment. In the later weakened version, Green Baboon could only jump out when a face-up Beast-Type on the field was Destroyed, and a face-down set monster would not count. It was obvious this card must have had a huge impact on the environment back then, or it would not have been cut so many times in both text and rulings until it was almost unrecognizable compared to the original.
The envoy, LP 4000 to LP 3000.
Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest, Summon! Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest, ATK 2600. "And because of The Seal of Orichalcos, its ATK rises!"
Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest, ATK 2600 to ATK 3100
And with that, the two covered Green Baboons had gone to the Graveyard, which meant they were effectively alive again as well. As long as the Green Baboon on the field got Destroyed, the Green Baboons in the Graveyard could revive again.
"Hahaha, do you see this? This is my power as a chosen envoy of God." The envoy puffed up with pride again. "You may be a somewhat special Duelist, but in front of this kind of power, it means nothing..."
Yugen smiled. "Is that really true?"
"What?" The envoy frowned. After seeing his immortal Green Baboon setup, this guy still looked that calm?
"Ultimate Offering's effect. I pay 500 Life Points and Normal Summon Mystic Tomato," Yugen said calmly.
Yugen, LP 3500 to LP 3000
"Then I use Ultimate Offering again, pay 500 Life Points, tribute Mystic Tomato, and Tribute Summon..." Yugen raised his hand. "Level 6, The Fiend Megacyber!"
The Fiend Megacyber, ATK 2200
"Hah, a High-Level Monster you forced out by paying Life Points?" the envoy said with contempt. "Too bad it's still no match for my forest guardian..."
"I activate Ultimate Offering again," Yugen said evenly. "I pay 500 Life Points and Summon Worm Gulse from my hand."
Yugen, LP 2500 to LP 2000
Worm Gulse, ATK 1500
"Then I use Ultimate Offering one more time. This time, I Normal Summon Tsukuyomi from my hand."
Yugen, LP 2000 to LP 1500
Tsukuyomi, ATK 1100
"Hm?" the envoy frowned. "That card again... I get it. Green Baboon only has 1800 DEF, so if you use Tsukuyomi to turn Green Baboon face-down, then The Fiend Megacyber can beat it."
But then he bared his teeth in a sneer. "But you didn't forget I still have two other Green Baboons in my Graveyard, right? Green Baboon is immortal. Using little tricks like this to Destroy it is pointless..."
Yugen ignored him. "Tsukuyomi's Effect Activation. When Tsukuyomi is Summoned or successfully flipped, I can turn one Monster on the field face-down Defense Position. The one I am turning face-down is Tsukuyomi herself." (ANIME EFFECT)
The envoy stared blankly. What kind of move was that supposed to be? The female spellcaster chanted, the crescent moon rose, and Tsukuyomi herself turned into a face-down Card on the field.
"But The Fiend Megacyber has a monster effect," Yugen said. "As long as this card remains on the field, all Monsters on the field must stay in face-up Attack Position." (ANIME EFFECT) "Therefore, Tsukuyomi is forcibly turned face-up again."
Tsukuyomi, ATK 1100
The envoy was completely confused. What was the point of that? "The effect of Worm Gulse, the card I just Summoned," Yugen said. "Whenever a face-down Defense Position monster on the field is flipped face-up, this card gains one Worm Counter, and its ATK rises by 300."
Worm Gulse, ATK 1500 to ATK 1800
The envoy frowned. "A mere 300 ATK..."
"Tsukuyomi's effect also activates when she is flipped face-up, and she can turn one Monster on the field face-down Defense Position." (ANIME EFFECT) Yugen gave a light laugh. Although The Fiend Megacyber had the restriction that Flip Monster effects could not activate, Tsukuyomi was not a Flip Monster, so she was not affected by that restriction.
"So, by Tsukuyomi's effect, Tsukuyomi turns herself face-down Defense Position. Then, because The Fiend Megacyber is on the field, Tsukuyomi is forced back into Attack Position. Worm Gulse's effect raises its ATK by 300 whenever a face-down set monster turns face-up on the field."
The envoy's pupils Shrinked, and his mouth slowly fell open as fear crept over him. This... this was an infinite loop!!!
Every time Tsukuyomi flipped face-up, she could use her effect to set herself again, but the moment she set herself, The Fiend Megacyber's mandatory effect flipped her face-up again. Every cycle gave Worm Gulse another 300 ATK. "That's right. After an infinite number of loops, Worm Gulse's ATK will become..." Yugen said.
Worm Gulse, ATK infinity
"Infinite ATK?!"
The envoy's face twisted, nearly swallowed by fear. No, this could not be real. He began to tremble, and all that remained on his fierce, fleshy face was horror and confusion.
Only now did he finally realize that the blind fool had been himself all along. The man before him was clearly a monster among monsters. But how terrible was his luck? He had only been hiding in the Student Council building to have a little fun, so who had he offended?
Why did he have to run into this kind of absurd monster Duelist?
"All right."
Yugen folded his arms and stood before the gigantic Worm that had already reached infinite ATK. "Any last words?"
The envoy trembled and barely forced out a smile uglier than crying. "A misunderstanding... a misunderstanding with the Student Council..."
But Yugen was not listening at all. "Worm Gulse, attack Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest." He smiled faintly. "Try taking this with your immortal body."
"Waaaahhhh!!!"
The shrill scream echoed through the world for a long time, only stopping when the green light of the Barrier tore that filthy soul away. The envoy, LP 3000 to LP 0.
The next match would be against Judai Yuki. It should be the longest duel so far.
He ended the Duel quickly. As The Seal of Orichalcos activated Shrink, the six-pointed mark spun in reverse, carrying Shrink all the way to the hulking brute's feet.
The Divine Envoy's soul was drawn away along the green light, pulled into the air and erased without a trace. Even after collapsing to his knees, he still wore an expression of shock and bitter regret.
He regretted not turning around and running the moment he had met this monster. If heaven gave him another chance, he would never play cards with a monster like this again.
"Nice Deck, but your skill still needs work." Yugen stepped forward, and the soulless body soon gave off a golden glow before crumbling into drifting motes of light.
Yugen bent down and picked up the Deck. This opponent's Deck was strong, but his power of destiny was nowhere near the same level, and even with the Barrier boost, he still fell far short of the current Yugen.
