[Destiny Hero Malicious, Defense 800]
With this, there are now three heroes on Youyu's field: Blazeman, Shadow Mist, and Malicious.
Amelda, vaguely realizing something, swallowed nervously: "Is it the Malicious that was discarded through the initial 'Card Destruction'? With three monsters now, could it be..."
"Exactly!"
Youyu raised the card he just drew, a card with a deep blue, striking color, completely different from any other card.
"Using 'Elemental Hero Blazeman', 'Elemental Hero Shadow Mist', and 'Destiny Hero Malicious' as tributes!
The scorching gale sweeps the earth, suppressing all with absolute divine power! Descend now—
—Destroyer God, Obelisk the Tormentor!"
Dense black clouds gathered in the sky above the building, thunder rolling within. A scorching wind began to blow from an unknown source, engulfing the entire building, as if some terrifying presence beyond the laws of reality was slowly approaching from an unknown space.
A beam of light crashed down from the dark clouds, almost grazing the building's edge before hitting the ground. Crimson eyes lit up, as the blue giant descended outside the building, towering over everything, its red eyes filled with fury, glaring at the airborne fortress in the sky.
...That presence, that déjà vu, felt like Ultraman emerging before a small monster.
[Obelisk the Tormentor, Attack 4000]
Youyu remarked that in the animation when the main character group was dueling the Doma Three Musketeers, they irresponsibly printed a 'Legendary Dragon' that was never in their deck. For someone like me playing a Pure Hero Deck, printing an 'Earth's Hero Giant God Soldier' should be okay, right?
Indeed, this isn't the nerfed physical card version of the Giant God Soldier; this is the true Destroyer God with complete divine power.
Technically, Youyu had only placed one physical card of the Giant God Soldier to enhance the Duelist's level, and the original Giant God Soldier snatched from Doma was left in the card box, not added to the deck.
But it doesn't matter. After all, he's a god, and if a mere Legendary Dragon can leap into a Duelist's deck upon demand, it's a small feat for a god.
This move was learned from Kaiba's card printing on the spot.
Amelda was somewhat overwhelmed. Facing a god and under the oppressive force of divine wrath, he felt suffocated, and even just standing felt as though his body weighed a hundred times more.
He swallowed nervously: "Uh, Obelisk... to summon a god under such circumstances?"
Kaiba couldn't help but smile, showing a face that said "As expected of the man once above me."
"And at the moment 'Elemental Hero Shadow Mist' is sent to the Graveyard as a tribute, her other effect activates," Youyu continued, "When Shadow Mist enters the Graveyard, a 'Hero' monster can be added from the deck to the hand."
Youyu opened his deck and found the hero he needed.
"I add 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' to my hand."
Amelda watched as Youyu casually shuffled his deck, gritting his teeth: "But even if it's a god, it can't attack the defense-mode Robot Token on the field.
And I still have this card... Flip Cover Card, Trap Card 'Waboku'!"
The Cover Card flipped open, revealing three nun-like emissaries surrounding Amelda, eyes closed, holding protective talismans and chanting softly. A transparent shield enveloped Amelda and the entire field he was on.
With this shield, Amelda felt the pressure lighten, exhaling as he smirked: "During the turn 'Waboku' is activated, my monsters can't be destroyed by battle, and I take zero battle damage!
Even Obelisk can't breach this defense line..."
"Are you sure about that?" Youyu retorted.
"What?" Amelda frowned, starting to realize things might not be as they seem.
But 'Waboku' is recognized as one of the strongest defensive trap cards, capable of making a player virtually invincible for a round. With its activation, he should be completely invincible this turn.
Could he really lose in this situation?
That's the logic, but for some reason, Amelda couldn't shake off his unease.
...Almost as if he already felt like a dead man.
"I activate the effect of the second 'Destiny Hero Malicious' sent to the Graveyard as a tribute for the Giant God Soldier!" Youyu swung his arm, a flash of golden light from the Graveyard, and the second Malicious emerged from the Graveyard.
"Banish the second 'Destiny Hero Malicious' from the game to special summon a card with the same name from the deck!" Youyu said, "Come forth, Destiny Hero Malicious!"
He picked up the second Malicious tossed from the Graveyard, as a golden light flew from the deck, summoning the third Malicious in a crouched position on Youyu's field.
[Destiny Hero Malicious, Defense 800]
Amelda continued stubbornly: "Even if you summon more weak monsters..."
"I set one card face-down on the field."
Youyu set his last hand card— the Magic Card - Polymerization, added to his hand last turn via Blazeman's effect, face-down on the field.
"Now I'm left with only one card in my hand." Youyu revealed the card he had just added to his hand through Shadow Mist's effect, "Elemental Hero Bubbleman, can be special summoned when it's the only card in the hand.
