Chapter 1279: Insulting and Fatal

Fujiki You Xuan laughed.

His finishing blow had been neutralized, and facing such a tenacious "ultimate life-lock" operation where the opponent clung to that final point of Life Points, he looked like he was laughing quite happily.

His teammates were confused, and the opponent, Lao Qian, was equally bewildered, feeling a momentary sense of annoyance at being looked down upon.

Thousand-Venerable Clone: "What's so funny?"

"So-sorry, but I'm not actually a person who laughs much. Unless... pfft, hahaha... unless I can't help it."

Fujiki You Xuan said with a chuckle.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to have a card like that; it's truly interesting."

The Thousand-Venerable Clone looked at him expressionlessly.

"Alright, enough playing. Just as I said, there won't be a next turn for you."

Fujiki You Xuan held a Spell Card between two fingers and inserted it into the back-row slot of his Duel Disk.

"Quick-Play Spell, 'Quick-Attack Summon'! This card allows me to perform an additional Normal Summon of a monster from my hand," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Therefore, I will Tribute 'Inzektor Dragonfly' and 'Inzektor Centipede' on my field for an Advanced Summon!"

Both Inzektor monsters disintegrated into golden light particles, as if turning into souls, crossing paths as they ascended and vanished into a massive void in the middle of the field.

Then, within that vast void, a heart appeared?

It was like a heart cast from stone, and judging by its massive volume, the owner of the heart was likely of a terrifyingly gargantuan size.

The moment they saw that heart, everyone on Team 5DS had their expressions change drastically, shock appearing in their eyes. At the same time, the faint stinging of the Crimson Dragon Sigils on their arms seemed to confirm what they felt in their hearts.

"Hey, hey, could that be..." Crow said, shocked.

The next moment, the card Fujiki You Xuan held high confirmed their suspicions: "Descend—

—Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca!!!"

Used by Goodwin in the past, it was among the top-tier Earthbound Immortals used by the Dark Signers. In Incan mythology, it was a god crowned with the title of "Creation," its name implying the birth of life, and it was the absolute king among the Earthbound Immortals.

At this moment, the room that had originally been the dueling field had vanished, and under the projection effect of the Field Spell, an infinite space of light-insects appeared.

Above the infinite space was darkness without end, and within that darkness, dark red totems were projected; the intersecting lines burned in mid-air, weaving into Nazca patterns resembling birds and beasts.

Then, the flat pattern began to become three-dimensional, entities emerging from the abstract, simple strokes, filling in the details until it completely transformed into a giant bird spreading its wings to fly.

Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, descend!

【Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, ATK 1】

"Earthbound Immortal, it really is an Earthbound Immortal!" Crow exclaimed. "This guy Fujiki You Xuan, has he actually managed to tame even the Earthbound Immortals of those Dark Signers!?"

Then he suddenly thought of something else: "Wait... right, didn't the summoning of Earthbound Immortals absorb a massive amount of souls?"

Whether it heard his words or not, the giant bird Earthbound Immortal that had descended let out a cry tinged with a bit of helplessness.

It was as if it were saying, "Logically, I was supposed to eat. But my new master not only demands high-intensity overtime without feeding me, the key is that I can't afford to provoke him..."

Life isn't easy, the Earthbound Immortal sighed; these days, being a god isn't that easy either.

"No souls were absorbed," Akiza said, surprise also appearing in her eyes. "This person, he really has tamed even those terrifying Earthbound Immortals..."

Although shocking, for them, it was about time to start getting used to it.

Because ever since they had met him, ever since they had known him, this person had been constantly doing things that transcended their understanding. Over time, they had become somewhat numb; it seemed that as long as they learned something was Fujiki You Xuan's handiwork, it was no longer surprising. Because this person had no limits to begin with.

Even someone as calm as Lao Qian began to feel something was wrong when he saw this giant bird: "Earthbound Immortal, a god of this world? But the ATK is... 1?"

"That's right, the ATK is 1," Fujiki You Xuan said with a smile. "And Earthbound Immortals also possess a common effect. That is, all Earthbound Immortal monsters can attack directly."

Thousand-Venerable Clone: "..."

Thousand-Venerable Clone: "..."

Thousand-Venerable Clone: "..."

At this very moment, the first thought that flashed through Lao Qian's mind was probably not shock, anger, or the frustration of realizing the situation was lost.

No, none of those emotions appeared.

Because at this very moment, his entire mind was occupied only by "?".

It was probably the feeling of "Little question mark, do you have many friends?"

It wasn't until Fujiki You Xuan's final order confirmed that he hadn't misheard that his bewilderment and confusion began to turn into endless fury.

"Battle continues," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, direct attack on Lord Thousand-Venerable!"

【Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, ATK 1】

【Thousand-Venerable Clone, LP 1】

The giant bird began to gather power, as if the endless Underworld fire from the void was being gathered and channeled into the Earthbound Immortal's body, igniting the entire pattern—which looked like a Nazca ground drawing—along its body lines, like purple-black flames burning fiercely.

Facing this attack with only 1 ATK, yet equally fatal in its damage and insult, Lao Qian finally couldn't hold it together.

"Why do you have this kind of monster!?"

"No, why does this world have such an inexplicable monster???"

"The ability to attack directly? The ATK is one? One!???"

Lao Qian had been calm and composed the entire duel, but at this very moment, it was like a glacier cracking, and the flames of anger erupting from that glacier were clearly a hundred times hotter than those of an ordinary person.

It was as if he had originally tried to build a persona of "I am a god above you all and will never show emotion for ants," but now it had evolved into a state of "I really can't help it."

Because it was just too infuriating!

Why is there a monster with 1 ATK that can attack directly? You just printed this thing on the spot, didn't you?

However, the giant bird Earthbound Immortal felt very aggrieved.

Fujiki You Xuan hadn't explained its effect completely. Its full effect was actually that, once per turn, at the cost of skipping this turn's Battle Phase, it could make the opponent's Life Points 1.

This way, as long as one waited until the next turn to use it to attack directly, it would exactly wipe out the opponent's remaining drop of blood.

This was actually a pretty good ability. It's just that even for Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, this was probably the first time in its life it had encountered an opponent who actively made their own LP 1, allowing it to skip the first half of its effect...

Fujiki You Xuan: "Earthbound Immortal's direct attack, Death Singularity!!!"

The giant bird finished charging and ignored the entire front row, launching a fatal finishing blow.

Of course, calling it a finishing blow, the damage was actually only 1 point...
