Chapter 1375

~7 min read 1,375 words

"My turn, draw!"

The Thousand-Entity clone drew a card.

But after drawing the card into his hand, his expression froze for a moment, and his gaze toward the card seemed somewhat complex.

"What? Didn't draw the card you wanted?" Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head and said, "Come on, don't be shy, Lord Thousand, show it to everyone."

Because the Thousand-Entity's own Continuous Spell, "Contract with the Thousand-Entity," was still on the field, both sides naturally still had to show the cards they drew to each other.

This was one of the things that made the Old Thousand feel that the young man in front of him was sleazy.

The opponent had a "Royal Decree" face-down in the back row that could directly BAN all Spell effects on the field, yet this guy was like, "Eh, I have it, but I just won't activate it, just for fun."

The benefits of doing this were also obvious.

Because it was currently the Old Thousand's turn, as long as Fujiki You Xuan didn't activate Decree, "Contract with the Thousand-Entity" would remain effective. The Old Thousand had to show the card he drew, and if he happened to draw a Spell, he couldn't even Normal Summon.

And with Fujiki You Xuan holding Decree in his back row, the initiative was in his hands.

He could activate Decree whenever he didn't want to accept the effect of "Contract with the Thousand-Entity," and not activate it when he wanted the Old Thousand to be affected by the contract.

The same applied to other Spells. Royal Decree is a Trap card and can be activated during the opponent's turn. In other words, even if the Old Thousand had some powerful Spell card, it would be perfectly fine to wait for the Old Thousand to activate it first and then chain Decree.

The Thousand-Entity clone's expression was cold; he had to accept the effect of his own "Contract with the Thousand-Entity" and reveal the card he had just drawn.

Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One.

Fujiki You Xuan whistled: "Ha, this draw is impressive. You really have it, Old Thousand, you actually drew The Seventh One."

The Seventh One is one of the strongest Rank-Up-Magic cards that appeared in the anime, and it is also a trump card that every member of the Seven Emperors faction has.

Simply put, The Seventh One allows the activator to ignore the summoning conditions and directly fly out a No. monster with a number over 100 from the Extra Deck or Graveyard, and then use that No. to rank up and transform into the corresponding CNo. monster over 100.

That is to say, as long as you draw this card, you can unconditionally fly out any No. trump card over 100 from the Seven Emperors, and it comes with an Xyz Material. A one-card free terminal boss monster, clean and neat without cost, only profit and no risk, so strong it's almost unreasonable.

Of course, such an unreasonable card was naturally nerfed when it was made into a physical card, changing it so it can only be activated when "drawn during the Draw Phase." Thus, this card immediately changed from a god card that could be used as soon as it was drawn in the anime to a privilege for lucky draw dogs—most duelists whose bond with their deck wasn't maxed out would just have The Seventh One rot in their hand for the whole game, a pure brick, unable to be used at all.

Although the Old Thousand was not one of the Seven Emperors, the power of the Seven Emperors was all given by him, and the No. monsters over 100 were all hand-crafted by him, so it was not surprising that he had this card.

If it were normal, this draw of the Old Thousand would naturally be a god draw; flying out a Chaos Number over 100 with one card would immediately give him a huge advantage in the situation.

But the premise is

He has to be able to activate it!

The opponent clearly has Royal Decree in the back row, so it's conceivable that if he activates The Seventh One, the opponent will definitely chain Decree, and then this trump card that could have taken off with one card would become waste paper.

What's even worse is that The Seventh One is a Spell card. He drew a Spell card this turn, so according to the effect of his own "Contract with the Thousand-Entity," he can't even Normal Summon this turn!

The Old Thousand realized it.

The guy on the opposite side deliberately didn't activate Decree, but even if he didn't, as long as he knew that Decree was there, the Old Thousand wouldn't dare to activate Spells casually, and he was still invisibly suppressed by Decree.

And on Fujiki You Xuan's side, Spells could be used casually without any impact. Royal Decree, which should have been a suppression effect on both sides, remained face-down, instead becoming a one-way blockade against the Old Thousand.

Of course, the Old Thousand could also choose to activate The Seventh One to force the opponent to activate Decree, so that Fujiki You Xuan would have to accept the Spell seal just like him.

But this is The Seventh One!

A trump card that directly flies out a Chaos boss with one card, using this card to exchange for a result where "everyone is locked together" is really a huge loss. The opponent would probably be very happy to see him do that.

The Thousand-Entity clone scanned his hand, then looked at the Judgment Demon King on the field, and quickly made up his mind.

"Change 'CNo. 65: King Overfiend' to Defense Position," the Thousand-Entity clone said.

【CNo. 65: King Overfiend, ATK 1600 -> DEF 0】

"Additionally, set one face-down card, turn end."

"Oh, defense plus a face-down card, even the great Lord Thousand is at his wit's end?" Fujiki You Xuan laughed.

The Thousand-Entity clone just looked at him coldly without saying a word.

"Then my turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan scanned the card he drew and showed it indifferently.

"The card I drew is the Spell card 'Cosmic Cyclone'."

According to the effect of the Thousand-Entity contract, he cannot Normal Summon this turn, but he obviously doesn't care much.

"Next is the effect of the Spell card 'TakeOver5' in the Graveyard," Fujiki You Xuan said. "During the Standby Phase of the next turn, banish this card from the Graveyard to draw a card from the deck."

The Spell card in Fujiki You Xuan's Graveyard floated out, and he drew another card.

After drawing the card, he paused for a moment, scanned the King Overfiend in defense position on the opponent's field, and smiled: "I remember this Demon King is quite troublesome, it has a very incredible ability.

As long as this guy exists on the field, it seems that all the monster effects on my field cannot be activated, right?"

The Thousand-Entity clone narrowed his eyes.

"You know quite a lot." He was indeed a bit surprised that Fujiki You Xuan actually knew this layer, "But so what if you know?"

The Old Thousand indicated that you blocked me, can't I block you?

Won't let me use Spells? Fine, then don't use your monster effects either.

Come on, let's hurt each other.

If it were a physical card, it would be fine; no matter how strong the King Overfiend's blocking ability is, its DEF of only 0 is its fatal flaw, just hit it and it's over. But in the anime world, No. monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and this self-contained resistance immediately made its lockdown very strong.

"It's strong, but this effect also has a prerequisite, right?" Fujiki You Xuan smiled, "Is it that this effect is only effective when King Overfiend has 'No. 65: Djinn Buster' as an Xyz Material?"

The Thousand-Entity clone frowned: "So what?"

This is also a nearly universal characteristic of Chaos Numbers over 100; only Chaos Numbers transformed from the original form of the Number have the exclusive effect.

"Then of course, I'll use this move."

Fujiki You Xuan played a Spell card.

"Quick-Play Spell 'Cosmic Cyclone'! This card can remove one Xyz Material on the field!"

Thousand-Entity clone: "???"
