Chapter 1445: Z-ARC's Power
After a temporary small episode at Reiji Akaba's place, and incidentally recovering one of the key mission items, the Millennium Items, the group embarked on the journey to crusade against Z-ARC again.
NPC Reiji Akaba joined the team, and incidentally brought his reorganized "Lancers" team. According to him, these were the last remaining first-class duelists he could collect in this dimension after Z-ARC's resurrection.
Although these people couldn't be expected to defeat the cadres, they could still help a lot if they were just used to counter those elites in the academy who used Ancient Gears.
During this period, Reiji Akaba took this opportunity to give them a certain amount of popular science about Z-ARC's deck composition and tactical habits.
Fujiki You Xuan of course already knew, mainly to tell the other Seafood Kings besides him.
Z-ARC's true form is named "Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC."
The original anime version of Z-ARC is very special. As everyone knows, general monster cards have a main color tone; Effect Monsters are yellow, Fusion Monsters are purple, Synchro are white, and Xyz are black.
Z-ARC is different. The card name column of Z-ARC is a color that alternates between yellow, purple, white, and black.
Yes, because the original anime version of Z-ARC can be treated as an Effect, Fusion, Synchro, Pendulum,
and Xyz monster at the same time in terms of rules.
Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC is Level 12 (or can also be treated as Rank 12), Dark attribute, and both ATK and DEF are 4000.
When Special Summoned, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the total ATK of all monsters destroyed by this effect. But in the turn this effect is activated, Z-ARC cannot attack.
In addition, as long as there are monsters summoned by Fusion/Synchro/Xyz methods in either player's Graveyard or banished, this card cannot be destroyed and cannot be forced to leave the field by any effect.
As long as this card is on the field, all your monsters are unaffected by the effects of Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz monsters.
When Z-ARC destroys an opponent's monster by battle, he can Special Summon two "Supreme King Dragon" monsters from the Extra Deck.
In addition, when cards are added to the hand other than during the opponent's Draw Phase, those cards are destroyed.
When Reiji finished speaking, the duelists from other dimensions were dizzy from listening.
Especially Yugi, who came from the earliest era, felt a sense of unreal absurdity after hearing the end.
No...
Are future monsters this outrageous? Can one card write so many effects?
In Yugi's era, many monsters were vanilla, and most Effect Monsters only had one effect. Although he had been running in with these new teammates these days, he had already begun to accept the setting that a monster has two or three effects—in fact, Atum himself had printed similar cards.
But he had really never seen one like Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC whose effect text was as long as a short essay.
Most of the other effects mentioned earlier were already powerful enough to be understood literally. The final "destroy cards added to the hand other than during the Draw Phase" was an effect that was easily underestimated.
In the anime, this effect basically only showed the heaven-defying development of "watching the damn action cards to prevent the opponent from picking up cards and turning the tables," but in fact, if this effect were really moved into the physical card environment, it would also be very terrifying.
This means that the opponent cannot filter draw or search, which does a huge interference to the opponent's deck dispatch ability. Especially in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh environment where everyone wishes they could hold their deck in their hands to play cards, if Z-ARC could land first, this suppression power would definitely be very terrifying.
However, even with full resistance, a basket of gorgeous effects, and the addition of the equally powerful Four Heavenly Dragons as attackers, Z-ARC, as the villain, was naturally killed in the end.
It's just that the process of Z-ARC being turned over also had a bit of *deus ex machina*.
Ray, who suddenly borrowed a corpse to resurrect, revealed the four targeting cards left by her father, "Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon," and like a formatted U
disk, she casually wiped Z-ARC and his Four Heavenly Dragons into whiteboards.
Compared to Z-ARC's invincible performance of calling for help and slaughtering the protagonist group one by one, this final turnaround seemed a bit casual.
It felt like a max-level god-equipped big shot slaughtering a novice village, but suddenly a village chief popped out, holding a brick with "Rule Book" written on it and swung it up, turning the god-level account into a whiteboard with one brick.
Thinking of this, Fujiki You Xuan turned his head to look at Ray who was accompanying him.
"Those cards developed by your father that once defeated Z-ARC," he asked, "are they still in your hands?"
Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon, these four cards are the key to defeating Z-ARC. It is said that Leo Akaba developed them by extracting natural power from nature. Back then, it was the power of these four cards that sealed Z-ARC and split the four dimensions.
But Ray shook her head sadly when she heard this: "No, they are no longer in my hands."
Fujiki You Xuan showed surprise: "You don't have those four cards anymore?"
"Z-ARC is already on guard. When we encountered him last time, he defended against the means of these four cards, and in the end, they were taken away and destroyed by him," Ray said.
Good guy. So under such circumstances, Ray had wanted to go up and fight Z-ARC alone more than once before, which is like the village chief losing the brick, so she had to ask the blacksmith shop at the entrance of the village for the best sword in the village, with the word "giveaway" printed on the hilt.
"That was originally the greatest hope my father left me, but I wasted it. So... I must make up for all of this," Ray said. "This is my responsibility."
Fujiki You Xuan thought for a while, shrugged and said: "Forget it, if it's lost, let it be."
Ray: "?"
Actually, Fujiki You Xuan just asked casually. The reason why he hadn't asked before was because he hadn't really taken these four so-called targeting cards to heart.
Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon, all four cards must be gathered on the field together to activate the effect. And the activation condition is that there must be three or more Synchro monsters, three or more Xyz monsters, and three or more Fusion monsters in your Graveyard at the same time.
In the anime, it was Z-ARC calling for help, and the previous teammates lined up to give away, and each person saved enough Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz monsters as resources in the Graveyard before hanging up.
Otherwise, in a normal duel, wanting to gather three Fusion, three Synchro, and three Xyz in the Graveyard as resources at the same time, and wanting to gather these four unsearchable Spell cards on the field at the same time, by the time the activation conditions are met, Z-ARC would probably have already cramped his hands from whipping the corpse.
So although Fujiki You Xuan knew that these four cards existed in the anime, he didn't take it too seriously. It's too much trouble to use, it's better to find another way and think of other ways to Gank Z-ARC.
After all, although Z-ARC's effect text is gorgeous and seemingly invincible, it's not that there are no other strategies.
Even without these four targeting cards from Leo Akaba, you can completely think of other ways. ===== CHAPTER 1446 =====
