Chapter 1233: Who is the perpetrator?

Fujiki You Xuan was not surprised by Vector's attitude: "As expected, it's impossible to just speak up so cooperatively. Fine, that was within expectations anyway..."

Saying this, Fujiki You Xuan unfolded his Duel Disk.

"Heh, a mere human wants to duel with Lord Vector? Fine." Vector narrowed his eyes and gave a few more weird laughs before saying, "Then as you wish, come on!

I, Lord Vector, will use my strength to let you understand that even as Seven Emperors, I am not in the same league as losers like Durbe and Girag who are of no use!"

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Vector, LP 4000】

Durbe, who had almost died nearby, hesitated for a long while, looking at Fujiki You Xuan's back with words on the tip of his tongue, but finally spoke.

"Be careful." Durbe said, "Vector... he is a bit wrong. He is stronger than the Vector I knew."

He was also very conflicted in his heart.

In terms of stance, he should still belong to the Barian Seven Emperors and should consider the Barian World. But before Fujiki You Xuan appeared, Vector was clearly about to absorb him, and at this moment Vector was also suspected of teaming up with Don Thousand, so he should be his enemy, while Fujiki You Xuan was his savior.

Durbe was conflicted and wavering, but finally couldn't help but speak up to warn him, secretly hoping in his heart that Fujiki You Xuan could defeat his corrupted colleague.

Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand at him casually without looking back: "No problem."

It seemed he didn't take Vector to heart at all.

Vector: "I'll go first, draw card!"

Vector drew a card, then waved his hand, and the monster card he drew was slapped down directly.

"I first Normal Summon this guy, 'Umbral Ghoul'!"

A mass of darkness converged on Vector's field, like a pitch-black quagmire. Then the quagmire churned, and the rising darkness turned into a human shape, becoming the appearance of a purple-black ghoul, with black mud constantly dripping onto the ground around it.

【Umbral Ghoul, ATK 1800】

Umbral, this is the card series Vector uses. However, whether it is the anime appearance or the physical card version of this deck, the number of cards in the series is relatively small.

But this is actually quite common in the ZEXAL series. Because in the Z4 anime, the presence of most characters' low-level decks is not high; they are all stepping stones for their respective trump cards to appear.

In the first turn, everyone uses various low-level decks to summon their trump cards as quickly as possible, and the rest all become trump cards hacking at each other, with almost no room for other low-level monsters to appear. So if it's an anime viewer who doesn't play cards, they probably forget what deck each character uses after watching it once.

"Umbral Ghoul's monster effect activates!" Vector said, "Once per turn, activate during your Main Phase. By making Umbral Ghoul's own ATK 0, Special Summon a monster with 0 ATK and 'Umbral' in its name from your hand!" (Anime effect)

【Umbral Ghoul, ATK 1800 → ATK 0】

"Ghoul's ATK becomes 0, Special Summon 'Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp' from my hand!" Vector revealed his second and third hand cards, "Two 'Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp'!"

The monsters that appeared this time were exactly as their name suggested, basically a ball of will-o'-the-wisp. Looking closely, one would find that a quagmire-like shadow also appeared on the ground, hiding a pair of dangerous dark red eyes. The ghostly blue will-o'-the-wisp floated above the quagmire, the firelight flickering.

【Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp, ATK 0】 x2

The physical card version of Umbral Ghoul can only Special Summon one Umbral from the hand; there is no quantity limit in the anime. As long as Vector has monsters in his hand that meet the "0 ATK and Umbral in name" condition, no matter how many, they can all be pulled out through Ghoul's effect.

"Then Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp's effect activates!" Vector continued his operation, "When this card is Summoned or Special Summoned, you can choose a face-up monster on your field other than this card, and this card's Level becomes the same as that monster's.

I want to activate the effects of both 'Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp' simultaneously, making the Levels of both 'Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp' the same as the other 'Umbral Ghoul' on the field!"

【Umbral Will-o'-the-Wisp, LV 1 → LV 4】

This is Vector's best combo; he gathered three 4-star monsters in an instant!

"There are three monsters of the same Level, be careful, it's coming!" Durbe hurriedly warned, "Vector's trump card!"

"Looks like it is." Fujiki You Xuan said indifferently, "Worthy of being a Seven Emperor, really swift and decisive, coming up with the trump card rhythm right away. But don't be so anxious..."

He changed the subject and casually revealed a monster card in his hand.

"Activate the monster effect of 'Flying "C"' in my hand." Fujiki You Xuan said, "When the opponent successfully Summons or Special Summons a monster, this card can be Special Summoned from the hand to the opponent's field in face-up Defense Position."

Saying this, he flicked his two fingers, and the card in his hand flew out with a hiss.

"A gift for you, no need to thank me." Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

【Flying "C", DEF 700】

"On my field?" Vector was dumbfounded.

Fujiki You Xuan: "While Flying "C" is on the field, the controller of this card... cannot Xyz Summon!"

Vector: "..."

What the hell did you just say?

Cannot Xyz!?

After only a few seconds of silence, as if brewing emotions, Vector's expression suddenly erupted, becoming distorted and abstract.

"Wryyyyy—"

Vector let out an inexplicable shriek.

Flying "C"? What kind of ghost is this?

He started his turn with a book-reading combo that was fierce as a tiger, but after the operation, he was left with three 0-ATK brothers on the field. The preparations were laid out to this point, and you tell me I can't Xyz?

Isn't this falling apart?

Yes, everyone in the ZEXAL dimension duels around the idea of summoning their trump card as quickly as possible. The existence of the Main Deck is entirely for the trump card, and there are almost no other tactics or ideas besides that.

But conversely, as long as the trump card cannot be summoned, wouldn't it just explode on the spot?

Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head: "What's wrong? Aren't you different from the other Seven Emperors? Aren't you going to let me see the power of Lord Vector? You wouldn't be stumped by a single 'C', would you? Wouldn't you, wouldn't you?"

Vector: "..."

Vector suddenly had a strange illusion.

Looking at the guy opposite, listening to that punchable tone, it felt like he was looking at himself.

Yes, usually it should be him, Vector, using such means and such a tone to torture his opponents. He loves toying with people's hearts the most, loves seeing the other party frustrated and helpless.

But the current feeling was as if he had changed from the perpetrator perspective he was used to in his daily life to the victim...

No, that's impossible.

He is Lord Vector; it has always been his turn to toy with others, how could it be the other way around?

"Heh, hehe... You've got some ideas, human."

Vector waved his hand gloomily and set another card.

"But you will pay the price for this. Set one card, turn end." ===== CHAPTER 1234 =====
