Chapter 220: Too Profitable with Cards
The duel continues.
Wan Wan Zhangmu followed up on the effect of Angel's Alms, drawing three cards from his deck, then glanced at them and selected two: "With Angel's Alms, I draw three cards and discard two. I send Disruptive Magic and Frontline Base to the graveyard."
At first glance, the total number of cards in hand hasn't changed—but he has already replaced cards in his hand that were useless.
And not only that—
"Next, I activate the effect of Disruptive Magic in the graveyard: when this card is sent to the graveyard, I can activate it. I add three colorless fish from my deck to my hand," Wan Wan Zhangmu continued. "I add Disruptive Yellow, Disruptive Green, and Disruptive Black—three fish—to my hand!"
Wan Wan Zhangmu directly took the three Disruptive Brothers from his deck.
"Seriously, big brother, why say it so harshly!" Disruptive Yellow wriggled, assaulting Wan Wan Zhangmu's nerves.
"Three fish with 0 attack—what use are cards like that?" Grace asked, puzzled.
"Though they're fish, fish still have their uses!" Wan Wan Zhangmu didn't refute Grace's words; instead, he drew a card from his already thick hand. "They're fuel for me!"
"Activate the spell card: Disruptive Magic Modification!"
"Show the opponent one Machine-Type, Light-Attribute Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. Then, banish any number of 【Disruptive】 monsters from your hand, field, or graveyard!"
"Special Summon from your hand, deck, or graveyard as many Fusion Monsters as the number banished, matching the Fusion Materials listed on that Fusion Monster card!"
"I show XYZ-Draco Cannon! I banish all three Disruptives from my hand!"
As he acted, the three Disruptives flew toward a vortex suddenly appearing in the air, then a massive mechanical phantom emerged behind Wan Wan Zhangmu.
"What a beautiful chain!" San Ze Sanze Dadi, seeing this, nodded repeatedly.
Though he was slightly displeased for losing rock-paper-scissors, seeing his partner execute an excellent tactic still excited him: "He replaced his hand with Angel's Alms, retrieved three different Disruptive monsters with Disruptive Magic, then directly Special Summoned the Fusion Materials for a three-part monster using a spell nearly equivalent to Fusion—brilliant tactic! Wan Wan Zhangmu!"
"It's Wan Wan Zhangmu Lightning!" Wan Wan Zhangmu corrected his nickname.
But—
"Hehe, you want to Special Summon monsters? Then I won't hold back either!" Gloria raised one hand like a commander and flipped a face-down card: "Continuous Trap Card."
"Amazonian Audience Hall!"
"Continuous Trap?"
Tian Tiancheng Guang, seeing this card, understood the situation.
Wan Wan Zhangmu didn't grasp it yet—the chain continued. After Audience Hall activated, the three monsters Wan Wan Zhangmu selected were Special Summoned from his deck.
X-Leader Cannon, ATK: 1800; Y-Dragon Head, ATK: 1500; Z-Metal Tracks, ATK: 1500.
And at this moment…
Taylor Sisters LP: 8000 → 12800.
"What just happened?!"
"That blonde girl is smiling so arrogantly!"
Many students were completely confused.
"Effect of Amazonian Audience Hall," Gloria smirked.
"While this card is on the field, whenever your opponent Special Summons a monster, we recover Life Points equal to that monster's ATK."
Tian Tiancheng Guang watched as both opponents regained Life Points and shook his head.
Seeing her flip this card, he thought she was setting up a Pendulum—but it was the anime version of Audience Hall.
"Uh—eh—" Wan Wan Zhangmu, seeing the card, finally realized he'd been tricked.
Upon seeing a card like Slow Life, the first instinct is always to forgo Normal Summoning for Special Summoning.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Normal Summoning—limited to once per turn—is nothing compared to Special Summoning, which has no limit.
He hadn't expected his own mindset to be directly exploited by his opponent.
He gently rubbed his brow.
He wasn't ignorant of Amazon.
On the contrary…
He knew Amazon's cards extremely well!
In fact, within the Fusion Department, none of the so-called "elders" didn't know Amazon.
He understood Amazon's battle style well: battle damage, counter-damage, direct damage—exchanging Life Points was common. The more Life Points the opponent had, the bolder their tactics became.
"What's wrong? Stuck between a rock and a hard place, not sure what to do?" Gloria, seeing Wan Wan Zhangmu motionless, taunted.
"If that's the case, just end your turn and hand it over to Tian Tiancheng Guang."
"Hmph—shut up!" Wan Wan Zhangmu wasn't angered by the sisters; he was merely thinking through options. "It's too late to hesitate now!
I Fusion Summon using my three monsters on the field!"
As Wan Wan Zhangmu spoke, the three robots on the field rapidly moved: tracks raced toward the red mechanical dragon, the dragon dragged the Leader toward the tracks, and the three monsters stacked together, transforming into a new monster.
"Fusion Summon: XYZ-Draco Cannon!"
XYZ-Draco Cannon, Level 8, Light-Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK: 2800.
"Heh! No matter what, this is still a 【Special Summon】!" Gloria raised her hand. "Bow to the Queen! Robots!"
Taylor Sisters LP: 12800 → 15600.
"Wow…"
"Life Points are already 15,600!"
"That much Life Points could let Loxxes Teacher fight both Guang and me three times…"
Grace, the silver-haired girl, gently stroked her hair and spoke: "Don't you understand yet? Pointless Special Summons only make things worse."
"That's not a pointless Special Summon," Tian Tiancheng Guang interrupted them, seeing her say this.
!?
Both girls turned to look at the robots.
"Exactly!" Wan Wan Zhangmu's eyes widened as he shouted loudly: "XYZ monster effect! Discard one card from hand to target one card on your field. Destroy that card!"
"Discard Masked Dragon—destroy your Amazonian Audience Hall!"
The two massive cannons on XYZ-Draco Cannon's back targeted the Taylor sisters' field. As Wan Wan Zhangmu discarded a card, a thunderous boom erupted—two red laser beams shot out, passing through the gap between the sisters. Grace held her hands up to shield herself from the light; Gloria placed one hand on her hip and stared directly into the blinding beam.
Moments later, the light faded—but Gloria's Trap Card remained intact.
She shrugged indifferently: "Too bad. With Amazon Empress on the field, 【Amazon】 cards cannot be destroyed by battle or effects."
Wan Wan Zhangmu frowned tightly—this was too troublesome.
The Amazon Empress has an effect that prevents her from being destroyed by battle or effects. Even if XYZ's effect could be used repeatedly, it would only be wasted.
Terrible. He hadn't expected the opponent's monster to have such an effect…
He glanced at his hand.
There weren't many cards in hand that could be useful…
Then so be it.
"Activate the effect of Disruptive Magic Modification in the graveyard!" Wan Wan Zhangmu endured the shrill voices of the three spirits and activated the card's effect: "Banish this card from the graveyard, targeting the three banished 【Disruptive】 monsters. Return those monsters to your deck and shuffle. Then, draw one card."
He's still drawing cards!
After several rounds, Wan Wan Zhangmu still had five cards in hand!
"?" Gloria felt confused for the first time.
What exactly are those fish of yours?
"Huh?" Serina, watching the duel up close, couldn't help but be astonished: "So this is like fusing a Fusion Monster out of thin air?"
"Yes," San Ze Sanze Dadi nodded slightly. "This is Wan Wan Zhangmu's duel after returning from the Alliance Storage Dimension."
Wan Wan Zhangmu glanced at the new card he drew and added casually: "It's Wan Wan Zhangmu Lightning!"
Good!
This card can be used.
"I activate XYZ's effect again: discard one card from hand to destroy your Slow Life. Then, I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"
Solid play.
Tian Tiancheng Guang nodded inwardly.
Though the opponent's current Life Points were still troublesome in this world, Tian Tiancheng Guang himself still valued card resources more. At least for now, Wan Wan Zhangmu's turn was quite strong.
"You're pretty capable," Gloria lowered her guard, relaxed her right hand, and turned to her sister. "Your turn, Grace."
"Yes, Gloria," Grace gently plucked a card between her index and middle finger, placing it softly beside her hand, then slowly picked up another. "I'd really like to see just how interesting this so-called pure Fusion really is—
Before that—
Spell Card: Fusion."
