Chapter 1442: Summoning Method Blockade

"Can't summon as long as there's a monster of the same type?" Yuma tilted his head. "Then Reiji Akaba has..."

"Yes," Yugi nodded. "Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum—all types of monsters are gathered on Reiji's field. So this means Fujiki You Xuan cannot dispatch any monsters from the Extra Deck."

As he spoke, Yugi showed an interested expression again.

"Amazing, really amazing! Fujiki You Xuan blocked all his offensive methods, I didn't expect this President Reiji Akaba to quickly return a summoning blockade to Fujiki You Xuan..."

Both of them have such interesting fighting styles!

Yami Yugi watched AIBO silently, suddenly having a premonition that some attribute hidden in AIBO's body might be awakening.

And he didn't know if this should be considered a good thing or a bad thing.

Well, but after all, it's growth and progress as a duelist, so it should be a good thing... right?

"This person named Reiji is very interesting, even I want to have a duel with him," Judai also said with full expectation. "This blockade formation should be a bit bad for Fujiki You Xuan's deck, right?"

As one of the representative decks of the Fusion Dimension, Fusion undoubtedly accounts for a considerable proportion of the Ancient Gear deck. And based on Judai's understanding of Fujiki You Xuan, he always adds strange things to any deck he plays, and suddenly pulling out a big treasure with a completely different style halfway through is one of Fujiki You Xuan's specialties.

If you think about it this way, maybe Fujiki You Xuan also added strange things other than Synchro and Xyz in this Ancient Gear deck.

Reiji's move naturally strangled these strange possibilities in the cradle.

But having said that, Judai still looked at Fujiki You Xuan with a smile: "Alright, so how are you going to perform next?"

"You actually blocked all my summoning methods, that's too much. And come to think of it, I don't have Pendulum at all..."

Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

Reiji Akaba said calmly: "I said, to make you show your real skills, I will naturally exhaust everything I have to limit your actions."

He paused as he said this, and did his signature move of adjusting his glasses.

"The monster named Z-ARC you are about to face does better in this regard than I do."

Fujiki You Xuan: "Oh?"

"In terms of dealing with and blocking various summons," Reiji Akaba said gloomily. "In front of him, whether you use Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or even Pendulum... Z-ARC can quickly and freely deal with any summoning method, causing a chain reaction to your summons, blocking your actions, and maximizing his own benefits.

If you can't fight when the summoning methods you rely on are blocked, you have no chance of winning against Z-ARC."

The others found his alarmist talk novel, but Fujiki You Xuan was not surprised. Others hadn't seen Z-ARC, but he knew a little bit about him.

Z-ARC's deck has a mechanism where when the opponent performs Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz actions, he also causes a chain reaction, triggering the appearance of "Supreme King Dragon" monsters corresponding to the summoning method.

In addition, there is Z-ARC as the incarnation of Duel Monsters, his true form "Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC."

The anime effect of Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC is that as long as there are Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz monsters in either player's Graveyard or banished, Z-ARC himself cannot be destroyed by any means, nor is he affected by any forced removal effects. Basically equivalent to an immortal body.

In addition, as long as Z-ARC exists on his field, he can protect all his monsters from being affected by the opponent's Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz monster effects.

So to summarize simply, although Z-ARC won't forcibly block you from performing Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz like Reiji Akaba is doing now, the more you use these summoning methods, the stronger Z-ARC will become, and the more restrictions you will face yourself, as if you were being put in layers of shackles.

That's why Reiji said that only by fighting Z-ARC without relying on these summoning methods would there be a chance.

Fujiki You Xuan suddenly chuckled.

Reiji Akaba: "What's so funny?"

"No, nothing much. Just think that you have gone to great lengths to test our strength and the opportunity to fight Z-ARC."

Reiji Akaba said: "Of course. The opponent is Z-ARC, no amount of caution is too much. If you have seen that power with your own eyes and were lucky enough to survive, then you would become as cautious as I am."

"Then thank you for your advice," Fujiki You Xuan smiled, nodded, and glanced at the luxurious formation on Reiji's field.

Not only are the ace monsters of various summoning methods gathered, but each of them radiates waves of their own frequency, and the colorful energy seems to form a dense net, covering down from the sky, like an invisible cage binding Fujiki You Xuan's field.

"You want to see my ability to fight without relying on Special Summoning methods. In that case, if I try to violently break your blockade formation, it would be meaningless... Fine, if I don't use it, I won't use it," Fujiki You Xuan said casually.

Reiji Akaba frowned.

This guy...

This tone sounds like he's saying, "If I wanted to violently break your blockade, it would be easy, but it's not necessary, because even if I follow your rules, I can still win easily."

"Interesting," Reiji Akaba also became interested. "Then let me see, powerhouse from another world, what are you going to do."

"My turn, draw," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Originally, I needed to pay 100 LP this turn to maintain the existence of 'Messenger of Peace,' but now this card is negated by 'D/D/D Flame High King Genghis' until your next Standby Phase, so I don't need to pay."

Reiji nodded.

"Main Phase, I activate the Spell Card 'Magical Planter,' sending 'Messenger of Peace' to the Graveyard, and draw two cards from my deck."

Fujiki You Xuan drew two cards, glanced at them, and revealed one of them.

"Spell Card 'Trade-In.' Tribute a Level 8 or higher monster on the field, and draw two cards from my deck."

"I tribute 'Ancient Gear Golem' and draw two cards."

Reiji Akaba: "Are you even going to give up your remaining strongest Ancient Gear Golem?"

"Ancient Gear Golem seems to have higher ATK than your monsters, but your Continuous Spell 'Contract with the War God' on the field can be activated during both players' Main Phases."

Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

"So even if I try to attack with Ancient Gear Golem, you will use the effect of that contract to steal 1000 ATK from my Golem and absorb this ATK into your own monster. So from the result, my Ancient Gear Golem actually can't beat any monster on your field." ===== CHAPTER 1443 =====

"So even if I try to attack with Ancient Gear Golem, you will use the effect of that contract to steal 1,000 ATK from my Golem, and then absorb that ATK into your own monster. So, as a result, my Ancient Gear Golem actually can't even beat any random monster on your field."
