Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, Attack Power eight thousand!
"Really coming at it with full force, huh..."
Yugen murmured, facing the divine brilliance on Odin's Divine Spear, and played another card.
"Then I discard 'White Bone Princess' from my hand, activating the monster effect."
Harald: "Monster effect from the hand?"
A petite figure with a skeletal face appeared on the field, clearly a skeleton yet exuding a quiet, lady-like demeanor, with long smooth hair, a flowing dress, and ghostly presence across the field.
"White Bone Princess can be sent from hand or field to the graveyard, reducing the Attack Power and Defense Power of all monsters on the field by its Level x300 points until the end of the turn.
Moreover, this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn."
"All monsters' Attack Power decrease?" Harald frowned, "Then if you do that, your own monsters will also..."
But as he spoke, his pupils shrank, realizing something.
Machine Emperor... Level only one!
With such high Attack Power and powerful effects, yet peculiarly only 1 star level. There's no better card against Machine Emperor for this hand trap.
On the contrary, all his Extreme Gods are Level ten. In other words, White Bone Princess would decrease Machine Emperor's Attack Power by only 300 points, while Harald's each Extreme God would lose 3000 points, totally snatching 9000 points of output with this tiny White Bone Princess!
[Supreme Divine Emperor Odin, Attack Power 8000→Attack Power 5000]
[Extreme Divine Emperor Thor, Attack Power 3500→Attack Power 500]
[Extreme Divine Emperor Loki, Attack Power 3300→Attack Power 300]
[Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, Attack Power 2200→Attack Power 1900]
Of course, even though weakened, Odin still outpowered Machine Emperor. The Supreme Divine Emperor Odin's single eye burst with golden light, and Gungnir suddenly shimmered with dazzling divine radiance. The thunder swirling around the spear tip turned into spiral golden electric light, surrounded by ancient Rune symbols. With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, the Holy Spear erupted in a torrent of light piercing the stars.
Golden lightning pierced through time and space towards the core of Machine Emperor Divine Sky with fierce determination. At the moment of impact, Divine Sky's chest superalloy vaporized like thin paper, its internal mechanical structure disintegrating layer by layer under the holy thunder. First, the energy core exploded into light particles, then the transmission frame shattered like fragile ice crystals, and finally, the entire torso decomposed into basic particles. The blast shock wave spread in a golden ring, every flying piece of mechanical debris burning with holy flame, crumbling into stardust metallic fragments during the fall.
[Yugen, LP3800→LP700]
"Then Extreme Divine Emperor Thor attacks the face-down monster."
Harald continued ordering. Thor's hammer swung with force, sending immense thunder towards the face-down monster on Yugen's field.
Of course, the special effect was dazzling and powerful, but at this point, the remaining Divine Power had been shaved down to mere noodles, Thor had only 500 attack, making it loud thunder but small raindrops. Harald wasn't expecting Thor to accomplish much, merely probing the reality of the opponent's face-down monster.
And this probe did reveal the truth. The face-down monster flipped, revealing a large dark pot with a single eye and a cheeky smile.
[Transformation Pot, Defense Power 600]
"The face-down monster is Transformation Pot, Defense Power 600, sorry it's stronger than your god, hehe." Yugen smiled.
Transformation Pot chuckled twice slyly, its little body bouncing, unexpectedly reflecting Thor's thunder back to Harald himself.
[Harald, LP4000→LP3900]
This could well be considered Transformation Pot's pinnacle in its jar-life. Previously, it always met the fate of cannon fodder sent directly to the grave when flipped, but today it proudly stood tall, becoming the last line of defense on Yugen's field, blocking the twin god's assault, even reflecting Thunder God's power.
This Transformation Pot could boast for a year.
"Transformation Pot's effect, when flipped, both players discard all their hands, then each draw five cards from their decks."
Harald remained silent, simply followed Yugen in discarding his hand, then drawing new cards.
Plane-Head commentator: "Harald swiftly snatched 3100 Life Points from Commander Yugen, regaining the upper hand!
Twilight of the Gods Team's captain Harald, can he really help the team turn the tide, end Commander Yugen's myth of one-against-three?"
While having made great progress, Harald still felt slightly worried: "White Bone Princess, truly a fearsome card. It can be activated from the hand, leaving one helpless.
And instantly snatches 3000 Attack Power from each Extreme God. If used timely, it could even unexpectedly kill me..."
Harald said with a slight smile, adding: "Fortunately, Brever left me a Trap that strengthens Odin's power, forcing you to use this trump card to survive.
Otherwise, holding onto this card would indeed be very dangerous for me."
He spoke and drew three more cards.
"But my Odin is all-knowing, omnipotent, leading the gods. Odin's arrival ensures the gods' final victory, you have no more chances!
I set three cards, ending my turn."
Yugen: "My turn, draw."
After drawing, Yugen snapped his fingers. Beside his speeding D-Wheel, a vortex opened, and a small opossum popped out, floating beside the D-Wheel.
[Stupid Opossum, Attack Power 800]
Harald frowned: "Stupid Opossum? But wasn't this monster long ago..."
He almost couldn't recall what round Stupid Opossum appeared in this duel.
"Yes, but the last time Stupid Opossum left the field, it faked death using its own effect." Yugen said, "A Stupid Opossum that faked death can be Special Summoned from the graveyard during its owner's preparation phase.
This effect isn't limited to the next preparation phase after faking death; it can be activated even after multiple turns."
"I see..."
Harald understood.
It seems this monster indeed has a pretty good affinity with the Machine Emperor. Stupid Opossum self-destructs, Special Summons Machine Emperor. Later, if Machine Emperor is removed in some turn, the previously self-destructed Stupid Opossum can revive automatically, self-destruct again, creating a new opportunity to summon Machine Emperor.
Wait a minute, now that this turn revived that Stupid Opossum, could it mean a new Machine Emperor...
Harald suddenly became alert.
But before that, Yugen played another card.
"Activate Magic Card 'Extinguishing Apostle'. This card can select one set magic or trap card on the opponent's field to destroy and banish it from the game. If it's a trap card, banish all cards with the same name from both players' decks from the game."
Yugen pointed at Harald's middle card in the back row.
"Destroy that set card!"
