Chapter 1104

"Activate the effect of Destiny HERO - Dystopia!"

Edo shouted.

"When Dystopia is successfully Fusion Summoned, you can select one monster in the Graveyard that was used as a Fusion Material for this card and activate it. Inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster's ATK!" (Anime effect)

After being released as a physical card, Dystopia is not limited to selecting Fusion Materials, but it is limited to selecting a Destiny HERO of Level 4 or lower in the Graveyard, inflicting damage to the opponent equal to that monster's ATK.

Although the original anime effect is not as free as the physical card, it undoubtedly raises the upper limit of the damage that can be inflicted. After all, there is a limit to how high the ATK of a Destiny HERO of Level 4 or lower can be.

"I choose 'Destiny HERO - Dogma' that was just used as a Fusion Material!"

The moment Edo's voice fell, the phantom of Dogma appeared in mid-air, as if its energy had been absorbed into Dystopia's body. Dystopia extended his right palm, his five fingers spread, and a pitch-black magic light ball brewed in his palm along with churning lightning. It first formed an unstable energy mass the size of a fist, and then rapidly expanded under the entanglement of purple lightning. When the energy ball reached the critical point, the air within three meters around it distorted due to the high temperature.

With the movement of his five fingers suddenly closing, the energy ball turned into a meteor and shot out. A fine electric net remained on the pitch-black ballistic trajectory, and the moment it hit the target, it exploded into an energy storm with a diameter of five meters. Where the shockwave swept, the ground shattered radially, and the splashing gravel was shaken into powder by the aftermath in mid-air.

"Dogma's ATK is 3400!" Edo said. "Take 3400 damage!"

"3400 damage... Are you kidding me..."

IV shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Then activate the Trap Card 'Damage Diet' from the Graveyard!"

Edo: "Activate a Trap from the Graveyard?"

"Damage Diet is banished from the Graveyard, and all effect damage received this turn is halved—"

The moment IV shouted the last word, he had already been blown away by the explosion's air wave. The shockwave spread in a ring, and IV was blown away like a kite with a broken string, his combat boots three inches off the ground, and then his whole body tilted backward and took off. His clothes fluttered in the air wave, and after three consecutive backflips, he fell to the ground in a sorry state, his panting as heavy as an old bellows.

【IV, LP 2200 → LP 500】

"Barely saved your life, huh." Edo said.

"Shut up." IV got up in a sorry state and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Although I was tricked by you, that thing of yours can't break through my Gimmick Puppet of Strings."

【CNo. 40 Gimmick Puppet of Strings, ATK 3300】

"It seems that is indeed the case. In that case, let me show you this move specially."

Edo shook another card in his hand.

"The effect of 'Destiny HERO - Dark Angel' in my hand. When there are 3 or more 'Destiny HERO' monsters in my Graveyard, I can discard this card from my hand."

"After that, select one 'Destiny HERO' monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it to the opponent's field in Defense Position."

IV: "?"

Summon a Destiny HERO... on my field?

"Therefore, from the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Destiny HERO - Dark Angel' to your field!"

【Destiny HERO - Dark Angel, DEF 0】

IV looked blankly at the Destiny HERO that jumped onto his field.

What does this mean? Sending a weak monster to himself, wanting to use this as a breakthrough point?

But Defense Position is meaningless...

"Set one card, turn end." Edo said.

"Don't get it..."

IV hummed lowly and stopped thinking about these things.

"My turn, draw!"

After drawing the card, he glanced at the card he drew and played it without hesitation.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity'!

After this card is activated, draw two cards from the Deck, but you cannot activate other Spell Cards in the turn it is activated, and you cannot Set cards on the field."

The Spell Card appeared on his field, and IV's fingers gripped the Deck.

"Therefore, I draw two cards from the Deck... Uh ah!"

At this moment, the Deck released an invisible electric current, as if an invisible repulsive force flicked his fingers away.

"What?"

IV was shocked and looked at his Deck in astonishment.

Why won't you let me draw cards?

At this moment, Edo showed a smile as if his scheme had succeeded. "Sorry about that. But when 'Destiny HERO - Dark Angel' exists on the field, all Spell Cards activated by the controller of this card are negated!"

IV: "!!!"

What the hell is this!?

He widened his eyes and looked at the Destiny HERO with zero ATK and zero DEF on his field, and couldn't help but slowly open his mouth wide.

The controller cannot activate Spell Cards?

What kind of traitorous thing is this? So what is the purpose of creating this thing? To disgust the controller?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why the opponent wanted to send him this thing. It wasn't to create a weakness or a flaw at all.

This is just taking a dump on his field!

"So sorry, for you, Spells have already been sealed." Edo said lightly.

IV clenched his fists, so angry that the veins on the back of his hands bulged again.

"Bastard... But in terms of ATK, mine is still higher!" IV shouted. "Then, use Gimmick Puppet of Strings to attack 'Destiny HERO - Dystopia'!"

【CNo. 40 Gimmick Puppet of Strings, ATK 3300】

【Destiny HERO - Dystopia, ATK 2800】

Edo: "Activate Set card, Trap Card 'Chain Whirlwind'! This card can be used as an Equip Card, increasing the ATK of the equipped monster by 500!"

【Destiny HERO - Dystopia, ATK 2800 → ATK 3300】

"ATK is the same, want to die together?" IV laughed loudly. "Too bad! No. monsters cannot be..."

"Die together? Sorry, I don't have that plan." Edo smiled. "At this moment, Dystopia's second effect activates!

Once per turn, when this card's ATK or DEF changes, destroy any one card on the field! This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!" (Anime effect)

This effect is considered an enhancement in the physical card compared to the anime. In the physical card, as long as Dystopia's own ATK is different from its original ATK, it can be freely activated at any time once per turn to destroy one card on the field. The anime version can only be activated at the moment "ATK changes."

But it doesn't matter in the current situation, there is no difference.

IV's pupils contracted: "Is the change in ATK the real purpose!?"

"Exactly!" Edo shouted. "Dystopia's effect, destroy Gimmick Puppet of Strings!

Noble Justice!!!"

Dystopia's whole body instantly erupted with ten thousand feet of golden light, and the surging golden light instantly submerged Heaven's Strings. The distorted Gimmick Puppet had no room to resist at all, its body instantly collapsed, the strings broke, and the puppet exploded into ten thousand fragments.

IV looked up blankly, watching the exploding puppet and the broken strings swaying between the storm and the fragments.

It was solved.

His second CNo., the hidden trump card, was also...

"And, because you activated 'Card of Sanctity'." Edo smiled. "In the turn 'Card of Sanctity' is activated, you cannot activate Spell Cards, nor can you Set cards on the field.

Dark Angel's effect is to negate the effect of Spell Cards activated by the controller, but it does not negate the activation itself. So although you cannot draw cards with the effect of 'Card of Sanctity', you still have to accept the side effects after activation.

Now in this turn, you can no longer activate Spells, nor can you Set cards."

IV: "..."

"Then my turn, the last turn, draw!"

Edo said.

"Summon 'Destiny HERO - Demon'!"

【Destiny HERO - Demon, ATK 600】

"Battle, Demon destroys 'Destiny HERO - Dark Angel'!"

Demon flicked his cape, and his demon claws struck out, destroying the Dark Angel that had completed its mission, leaving IV's field completely empty.

"Then the final blow!" Edo said. "Destiny HERO - Dystopia, direct attack!

Dystopia Punch!!!"

Dystopia's right arm armor erupted with blinding blue light, and the mechanical joints made a sharp metallic friction sound. He lowered his waist to exert force, and his iron fist covered with energy patterns slammed forward. Before the fist arrived, the compressed air had already formed a visible shockwave.

IV was hit as if by an invisible giant hammer, his feet left the ground and he flew backward, rolling several times like a spinning top, as light as a feather in the wind.

【IV, LP 500 → LP 0】
