Chapter 354

"... So that's the kind of card it is." Aster frowned.

He had intended to end the duel with that strike, but he hadn't expected Sartorius to draw such a card.

However, as long as he had the invincible Destiny HERO - Plasma-D on the field, any monster would have to bow down.

Moreover, Plasma-D, having devoured The World, had enough ATK to deal with the vast majority of monsters.

"Then, I set one card face-down and end my turn."

"My turn, draw!" Sartorius drew a card from his deck with a swish.

"After your draw phase ends, Double Dude's effect in the Graveyard activates. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, activate during the next Standby Phase. Special Summon this card. This card is banished when it leaves the field after being Special Summoned by this effect.

Then, activate when a hero monster is successfully Special Summoned by its own effect. Both players draw one card."

Both drew cards simultaneously again.

Sartorius looked at the card he had drawn.

"Interesting, Aster. It seems you really have accomplished quite a few astonishing things."

He chuckled: "As expected, just like the fate of The World, your fate is also being influenced and changing."

"However, a duel doesn't end that easily!"

"Although your Plasma-D possesses an almost invincible effect, it is not truly 【Invincible】!"

"Your belief in your friends and your belief in the future are your weaknesses!"

"What?"

Sartorius narrowed his eyes and slowly drew a card from his left hand.

"Spell Card, Graceful Charity. Draw three cards and discard two!" Even without Double Dude, the card he drew this turn was very useful.

He slowly drew three cards from his deck and examined them. As he looked, he said: "Right now, you have Destiny HERO - Divine Dude and Destiny HERO - Dreamer in your Graveyard."

As he checked the drawn cards and considered what to discard, he said: "Among them, Divine Dude can draw two cards by banishing a Destiny HERO from the Graveyard when your hand is 0; Dreamer can be Special Summoned during damage calculation when a Destiny HERO is involved in battle, preventing that monster from being destroyed by battle and making the battle damage 0."

Aster didn't speak.

Sartorius and Aster were best friends who grew up together; it was impossible for him not to know the effects of the Destiny HEROes.

Likewise, Aster understood Sartorius just as well, which was why he was so surprised when he saw cards like "The Hierophant" and "The World" that he had never seen before.

"However, this doesn't mean you won't take damage." Sartorius held up two cards and inserted them into the Graveyard, "The simplest method is to attack you directly by other means, or attack other monsters on your field to cause damage."

"I don't have that kind of card."

"That's right... So..."

"I activate the Spell Card, Necro Sacrifice!" Sartorius slammed a card down, a ferocious smile appearing on his face, "Select 1 to 2 monsters in your Graveyard and Special Summon them to the opponent's field! For every monster Special Summoned, the number of Tributes I need to Special Summon a monster this turn is reduced by one. Oh, you choose their battle position."

"..." Aster frowned.

Indeed, this way he could bypass Plasma-D and deal damage to him.

But more importantly...

"I choose Arcana Force 0 - The Fool and Arcana Force VII - The Chariot in my Graveyard!"

Strange angels appeared on the field again.

Arcana Force VII - The Chariot, Level 4, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 1700, DEF 1700.

Arcana Force 0 - The Fool, Level 1, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 0, DEF 0.

"... Defense Position."

"Unfortunately, The Fool cannot be in Defense Position, so it must be in Attack Position! Because these are monsters Special Summoned to your field, they won't be affected by Plasma-D's effect.

Also, both of them must activate their effects!"

As he spoke, the card art of the two monsters in front of Aster began to spin automatically.

This was a mandatory effect; even if Special Summoned to Aster's field, it would activate.

"Stop—"

Ding!

The Fool was Upright, and The Chariot was Reversed!

"Haha—the correct position!"

Sartorius laughed loudly. Because of his wild laughter, his face began to distort, and his hair began to move without wind, like wings.

"The effect of the Upright Fool: your own Spell, Trap, or monster effects that target this card are negated and destroyed!"

"The effect of the Reversed Chariot: control of this card is handed to the opponent—which is me!"

"Tsk..." Aster watched the monsters leave and couldn't help but let out a low grunt.

Facing Plasma-D, he thought of the two most critical points in an instant. Sartorius, it turns out, also had quite excellent talent in dueling.

"However, The Chariot is in Defense Position—"

"Hahahaha, Aster!!! You didn't think I would miss something like this, did you!"

He held a card high in his hand. A pillar of light spread from behind him, then erupted toward the entire station, the entire dimension, and even spread to other worlds!

"Witness the ultimate power that comes from the universe!"

"Because of Necro Sacrifice, the Tributes required for Special Summoning monsters are reduced by 2. I Tribute Arcana Force VII - The Chariot on the field to Special Summon!!"

The ultimate Arcana Force!

Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler!"

Along with Sartorius's roar, a gap slowly opened in the dark clouds of the sky. Light spread from it, illuminating this world that had been devastated by the demon invasion.

A black angel with two giant dragons connected to its body slowly descended from the sky.

Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, Level 10, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 4000.

"This, what monster is this?" Aster felt it was difficult to breathe. Even with Plasma-D's help, he still felt fear.

Tiancheng Guang looked at the appearance of this monster and frowned slightly.

As expected—

Sartorius is much stronger than in the original work!!

The card that took a long time to obtain in the original work had already been obtained by Sartorius in this world!

"It seems this is finally the last attack, Aster!" Sartorius's hair fluttering behind him like demon wings, dancing wildly, "No matter how strong a monster is, as long as the duelist fails, it's nothing to fear!

Accept this final attack, Aster—"

Aster took a deep breath: "That's not possible! Sartorius, I've already prepared for this!

I activate the Continuous Trap Card————

Brain Control Release!!"

Seeing this card, Sartorius was clearly stunned on the spot.

"As long as this card exists on the field, the control of monsters existing on your and the opponent's field returns to their original owners!"

The Fool automatically returned to Sartorius's field, facing its opponent with 0 ATK.

Sartorius's movements froze.

Aster saw Sartorius stop moving and couldn't help but smile: "Come back, Sartorius."

This was exactly the card Aster most wanted to use in his duel with Sartorius!
