Chapter 1377

Set the Continuous Trap "Void Space" in the back row!

As the light gathered, You Xuan's back row gained another face-down Void Space card.

If a real-life card player were here, they'd probably be about to reach the part where they suck in yin energy.

Void Space!

This thing is also a genuine Lord of the Underworld, having remained a hot commodity through countless version updates—an essential tool for recluses. Even against "Pearl Tears," who stands at the pinnacle of the card-playing world and claims an invincible, ageless, undefeatable deck, it still exerts considerable suppression.

The cheat smirked.

Damn, another disgusting thing.

But no matter what it is, a Trap Card cannot be activated when set. No matter how disgusting, you have to wait until next turn.

So it's all the more necessary to seize this turn's attack opportunity and take back the initiative into your own hands.

Only to see the Supreme Lord directly reveal the card he had drawn last turn: "Although affected by the effect of 'Supreme Lord Contract,' I cannot perform a Normal Summon of monsters this turn, but it doesn't matter!

Activate the Rank-Up Magic 'Seven Emperors' Sword'! This card allows me to directly Special Summon over a hundred NO. monsters from the Extra Deck, then use that monster as Xyz Material to Chaos Xyz Evolve Summon the corresponding CNO. monster!"

Here it comes!

The cheat made a snap decision. According to the cheat's prediction, the opponent should be helpless at this point. Even activating Imperial Order would be meaningless.

But then came You Xuan's lazy voice: "Then activate Set Card, Continuous Trap 'Void Space'!"

The cheat was startled again: "What? That card should have just been set onto the field, so why can it be activated immediately."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention." You Xuan showed an apologetic smile, "The effect of Sage Official Cardan, besides being able to Set Traps from the Graveyard onto the field, also has a follow-up. That is, cards Set by this effect can be activated this turn."

Qian Zun's avatar frowned—though his face already looked black to begin with; "So the card just Set can be activated immediately?"

"Exactly. And the effect of 'Void Space' is, as long as this card remains on the field," You Xuan said, "neither side can Special Summon monsters in any form!"

The Void Wraith flickered in and out of existence above the field, arms outstretched, its suppressive undulating waves pressing down on the entire field. Even the air seemed frozen, time appeared to stall, as if the rules of this field had been tampered with.

Qian Zun's avatar: "."

One can imagine, if not for maintaining the dignity of a god-tier figure, the cheat would probably have blown up by now.

Over the top!

Magic Seal is fine, but now even Special Summons are locked. Does that mean I should just not play this card?

At this point, the opponent's field already had God Flame Emperor Uria standing on it, and the combination of Phantasm and Underworld Continuous formed absolute board control.

With Void Space active, even the right to Special Summon is lost, so the cheat can hardly imagine what means he still has in this deck to break through this situation.

Under this Underworld suppression, he simply cannot pull out a monster capable of dealing with Phantasm.

"Speed Spell 'Cyclone'!" Qian Zun's avatar said, "Destroy any one Spell or Trap Card on the field!"

He narrowed his eyes, scanned the opponent's back row, but did not lock onto Void Space, instead targeting the opponent's remaining face-down card that had remained in set state and been tugging at him all this time.

"Destroy your back row's last Set Card, namely that 'Imperial Order'!"

He did not choose to aim at Void Space, because the cheat knows Void Space, though a terrifyingly powerful sticker of suppression, also has an inherent weakness.

That is, once any card from the controller's deck or field is sent to the Graveyard, Void Space will automatically destroy itself. In other words, the cheat doesn't even need to destroy Void Space—sending any random card from the opponent's field to the Graveyard will make this card vanish on its own.

Of course, Cyclone won't get through, he knows. He activates Cyclone, and the opponent will chain Cyclone with "Imperial Order," which is also foreseeable.

"Activate Set Card, Continuous Trap 'Imperial Order'."

You Xuan, as expected, snapped his fingers and flipped open his back row.

"Negate the effects of all Spell Cards on the field."

Imperial Order's power took effect invisibly, dragging the entire field into the domain of Spell Lockdown. The original Cyclone, as a Spell/Trap counter, became unusable in this domain, the dark storm dissipated in midair, and the green cards turned translucent and vanished.

But this is fine.

Though there's a suspicion he played this Cyclone while frustrated and repressed, on one hand the cheat really couldn't take it anymore. That "Imperial Order" kept sitting in the back row like a thorn perpetually stuck in his heart—though he couldn't pull it out right away, at least flipping it over also gives him a Spell suppression effect against You Xuan.

Of course, even if Imperial Order doesn't activate, his Seven Emperors' Sword would still be restrained by Void Space, and no matter what, it won't get through.

Now at least, if the opponent wants to activate a Spell next turn, they must actively destroy Imperial Order.

Qian Zun's avatar played another hand card.

"Set one card, turn ends."

No problem, there's still a chance.

Qian Zun's drifting black shadow narrowed its eyes, tightly staring at You Xuan.

He hasn't given up; he still has the possibility to break through this situation.

Meanwhile, Uria, the avatar that emerged from God Flame Emperor, silently watched You Xuan, his heart filled with complex thoughts.

That otherworldly entity called Supreme Lord on the opposing side is very strong—she dueled him directly, so she knows clearly. Even if not the true body present, it's already a Demon King of rare level in any dimension.

But such a Demon King, when meeting his own master, is suppressed all the way to this extent.

It was at this moment that Uria seemed to suddenly understand a truth.

Demon Kings also have ranks. When a Demon King that originally seemed terrifying encounters a more ferocious and barbaric Greater Demon King, it instantly appears pure and good.

At this moment, his master looks like a demon, while the opponent is a challenger struggling to find a path in the cracks—perhaps this is exactly that truth.

"My turn, draw."

You Xuan glanced at the card he drew, raised his eyebrows, and showed a smile.

This smile made the cheat feel even more uneasy in his heart. He really wanted to know what that card was, but unfortunately, the Qian Zun Contract has already been negated by Imperial Order, so he wants to look but can't.

Then came You Xuan's voice: "Standby Phase, Imperial Order cannot be maintained without paying 700 Life Points, so it must be destroyed. I choose not to pay Life Points, letting Imperial Order be destroyed." (Old version effect)
