"Alright, the most anticipated match of the WRGP qualifiers has finally reached its climax. Officer Yugen continues his miraculous streak, defeating two opponents in a row and now faces Harald of the Twilight of the Gods Team!"
The pompadour commentator continued to heat up the atmosphere as Harald stepped onto the track.
"So can Harald secure victory for his team? Or will Officer Yugen continue to write his legend at the WRGP!?"
At this moment, Harald had already stepped onto the track and said in a deep voice, "Fujiki Yugen, you truly are a man beyond expectations. To fight against gods and come this far... No, even suppressing my teammates, you're indeed a formidable fellow."
"You're too kind." Yugen replied with a humble smile.
"But this is where it ends. Now that I'm here, it's time for everything to come to a close." Harald said, "Let's settle this, Fujiki Yugen! Whether it's your Machine Emperor or our Extreme God!"
"Duel!" x2
[Yugen, LP3800]
[Harald, LP4000]
"Since Brever was defeated and the turn has ended, it is now my turn." Harald said, "My turn, draw card!"
Harald glanced quickly at the card he drew and immediately played it: "I Normal Summon 'Pole Star Heaven - Valkyrie'!"
The Valkyrie, fresh and adorable in appearance, spread the snow-white Angel's Wings behind her. White feathers scattered across the sky, as if holy light was enveloping her from above.
[Pole Star Heaven - Valkyrie, Attack Power 400]
"Pole Star Heaven - Valkyrie, activate effect." Harald chuckled, "When this card is successfully summoned, send two cards from your hand to the graveyard to Special Summon two 'Heroic Spirit Derivatives' on your field."
Saying this, he sent two cards to the graveyard.
"Special Summon Heroic Spirit Derivatives!"
[Heroic Spirit Derivative, Attack Power 1000] x2
This monster is Harald's key adjustment; with one card it can directly summon Extreme Gods. But after becoming a physical card, its ability is greatly weakened.
Initially, in the animation, all it required was to send any two cards from the hand to the graveyard. The physical card does not send them but banishes them instead, and you must banish two monsters with 'Pole Star' in their name.
Moreover, the physical card can only activate this effect when there is at least one opposing monster on the field and no other monsters besides this card on your own field. The animation did not have such restrictions.
Therefore, not only did the Three Pole Gods series lose their noble Divine Attribute when becoming physical cards, their effects were also weakened, including the overall deck related to Extreme Gods being weakened.
"Level 2 Adjusted Monster 'Pole Star Heaven - Valkyrie'.
Two Level 4 'Heroic Spirit Derivatives'.
Star-Tuning!"
[2+4+4=10]
"Oh great ruler of the star realm in the Northern heavens, show your prestige to the gods that dominate the realms! Synchro Summon! Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, the highest god who commands the heavens and earth!"
A golden light suddenly split the sky. Sacred golden light pierced through the clouds. Accompanied by the horn of Valhalla Hall, a one-eyed elder clad in a crimson divine robe descended onto the Rainbow Bridge. His snow-white beard was like a frozen waterfall, with each strand pulsating with divine brilliance. The left eye sealed by a golden ring continuously seeped liquid golden light, forming luminous divine patterns along the wrinkles on his cheeks.
Odin slammed the legendary divine spear Gungnir heavily to the ground, and as the spear tip touched the earth, concentric golden ripples burst forth. As he raised the holy spear towards the battlefield, the clouds around the sky began to rotate around the spear tip, lightning forming a massive totem in the cloud vortex.
Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, Summon!
[Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, Attack Power 4000]
Odin, Thor, Loki, the Nordic Triad have finally gathered together!
"So strong, the Nordic Three Gods have descended all at once." Yugen smiled, "Odin's effect... it seems to grant the gods the power of absolute resistance, right? With this, all Three Gods receive amplification, it's becoming more and more troublesome..."
"Oh? You seem to know quite a lot, even the power of my Supreme Divine Emperor Odin."
Harald squinted his eyes.
"And the reason you said that is because you want to lure me into activating Odin's effect, correct?"
Yugen: "Oh? Why would I do that?"
"Because of this Cover Card Brever left me, a card that last turn didn't get the chance to activate because of your Machine Emperor Divine Sky directly attacking."
Harald analyzed.
"Trap Card 'Polestar Treasure Meijingjiuod'. This card can double Extreme God's attack power. If I use this Trap on Odin, Odin's attack power will become eight thousand.
As long as Odin crushes your Machine Emperor Divine Sky, a single strike is enough to finish you off, spelling your defeat.
However, if I activate Odin's effect, the Three Pole Gods will not be affected by any Magic, Trap, or Monster effects this turn, which naturally includes my own Trap.
In such a case, even if Odin crushes Divine Sky, it cannot finish you off, and there's still another covered monster on your field..."
He glanced at the other face-down monster on Yugen's field.
"If I surmise correctly, that covered monster is possibly harboring some defensive or even counterattack reversed effect, isn't it?"
"Ah, I see, you think I am trying to lure you into attacking this reversed monster, that's your deduction." Yugen chuckled, "However, I must remind you, if you attack without activating Odin's effect, then your gods wouldn't have invincible resistance?"
"It doesn't matter, I am willing to take that risk." Harald laughed, "You might be trying to lure my actions with words, but unfortunately, I am the type that is always firm in my dueling and never wavers.
Now that your backfield has no covered cards, the only thing worth guarding against on your field is that face-down monster. So I just have to not attack it."
Saying this, Harald raised his arm high.
"I won't activate Supreme Divine Emperor Odin's effect, but directly enter the battle phase!
Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, attack 'Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞'!"
Odin's divine spear began to glow, the golden light gathering at the tip of the spear, its immense brilliance like the sun, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
"And at this moment, I'm going to use the Trap Brever entrusted to me!" Harald said, "Trap Card 'Polestar Treasure Meijingjiuod'!
This card can select a Pole Star or Extreme God Monster from your field, at the cost of that Monster being unable to attack directly this turn, its attack power becomes twice the original!
Activate this card's effect, double 'Pole Star Saint Emperor Odin's attack power for this turn!"
[Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, Attack Power 4000 → Attack Power 8000]
The pompadour commentator: "Eight thousand, eight thousand! An eight-thousand attack power strike by Odin, will this strike directly bring the duel to a close? Officer Yugen's backfield has no covered cards, could his undefeated legend of beating three opponents in a row come to an end here!?"
