Chapter 1484

"Speed Attack Magic Tornado!" Zak said, "Pay 500 Life Points, destroy the Palace Edict of the Continuous Trap!"

【Zak, LP4200→LP3700】

The dark tornado erupted, the storm instantly sweeping up the just-flipped Palace Edict. That trap card spun into the air and was torn into countless points of light.

"The Palace Edict is a Continuous Trap, so if it's destroyed before its effect resolves, the follow-up effect won't process." Zak said, "Therefore, 'Adverse Destiny Talisman' remains active, and I draw two cards from my deck!"

Zak drew two cards.

Immediately he revealed a taunting cold smile: "One Palace Edict can seal all my magic, more importantly the Pendulum Scales... you thought things would really be this simple? Relying on just one Continuous Trap, you dare to challenge the apex of this world?"

"Of course not, I know it won't be that simple." You Xuan said casually, "After all, saying he's the demon king ruling dimensions, even if slightly exaggerated, but at this level he should certainly be able to cope."

Although he couldn't be certain what method Zak would use or what card he'd draw, he had merely taken out one targeted anti-card, and Zak drawing the corresponding counter was expected.

"So at the moment you destroyed the Palace Edict, this card was also triggered by you."

You Xuan slowly raised his hand.

"Trap Card, Blizzard!"

Bone-chilling wind released from the trap, condensing into a tangible blizzard. Snowflakes spun like blades, precisely sweeping toward Zak's back row.

"Blizzard is, only when the opponent's card destroys my trap card and sends it to the graveyard can it be activated." You Xuan said, "It can destroy the opponent's magic and trap cards!

What I want to destroy is naturally..

You Xuan pointed at the opponent's back row.

"Destroy your Pendulum Scales."

Zak frowned: "I see. Using the Palace Edict to seal my Pendulum was just the first move, but you also considered the possibility of the Edict being countered by me, so you set up a second safeguard?"

"Impressive, You Xuan!" Yu Ma also again unreservedly expressed admiration, "Through dual safeguards, the Pendulum is undoubtedly targeted, Zak's Pendulum Summon is completely sealed.."

"Indeed, you have some skill."

Zak said coldly, but the next moment his stern expression suddenly changed, pulling his mouth into a smile again.

"But you're not the only one with dual safeguards."

Yu Ma: "What? This guy...... what does that mean?"

Starlight Entity said: "Something is coming!"

The Pendulum shattered, two Ouroboros-like rings simultaneously dissipated into dust on the field—Supreme King Gate Zero and Supreme King Gate Infinite, plus another hidden effect: that if my other Pendulum Zone lacks "Supreme King Gate Zero," the Infinite on the field will self-destruct.

The physical card lacks this restriction, but the physical Supreme King Gate scales and animation effects were originally altered.

In the anime, the Zero and Infinite gates are complementary; if one is absent, the other loses function.

However

When the two Pendulums simultaneously fell, a terrifying energy seemed to erupt at that moment. The dark vortex swept across the field like cutting through rotten wood, and the vortex's center gradually condensed into a humanoid figure of gloomy aura and chilling severity.

It had a humanoid form, appearing like a magician. But that body seemed to lack any human or biological substance, resembling instead the cosmic starry sky.

Yes, just like the starry sky itself. As if the dark universe were reflected in his body, robes, and cloak, with a dark cosmic background dotted with stars, merely the existence of that form itself contained endless mysteries.

【Celestial Read Array Magician, ATK 2500】

"What's happening?" Yucheng Shidai said, "Why did a new monster appear?"

The game said solemnly: "Pay attention, the Pendulum Scales that should have been destroyed have returned.

Yucheng Shidai: "Ah, it really seems...

Light pillars of the Pendulum descended from the sky, the originally scattered points of light, as if attracted by a magnet, reassembled and condensed back into the two Supreme King Gate rings.

As if under the might of this starry-skied magician, the destroyed scales revived and returned to the field.

"Effect of the Celestial Read Array Magician." Zak said, "This card exists in hand, and when my cards on the field are destroyed, the Celestial Read Array Magician can be Special Summoned from hand.

And when this effect successfully Special Summons, my cards on the field that were originally destroyed are all placed back on my field in their original zones in the form they had when destroyed."

Yucheng Shidai understood: "I see. This is Zak's second safeguard, able to immediately recover even if the scales are destroyed.."

"Recovery?" Zak laughed loudly, "If you think my duel is just this level, then it seems I've truly been underestimated.

The true power of the Celestial Read Array Magician is still to come! Activate the effect of the Celestial Read Array Magician!"

As his words fell, the magician held his staff horizontally, his entire body's starry sky seeming to surge, some terrifying energy resonating between heaven and earth.

"Release the Celestial Read Array Magician, and from my deck, extra deck, field, and graveyard, remove one each of the Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from the game!"

"Then, from the extra deck, Special Summon myself—Supreme King Dragon Zak!"

The moment he shouted that name, the entire field's air seemed to freeze for an instant.

"Supreme King Dragon Zak...... is he coming?" Yu Ma said.

Yu Star: "Yeah, this should be his true form. Ruler of an entire dimension, invincible under heaven, god-tier spirit......"

Heaven and earth portents, the world trembled. Boundless terrifying energy gathered above the academy into clouds blocking the sun, lightning incessantly struck the ground, exploding one scorched crater after another.

A chilling sensation arose, as if even before that black shadow appeared, it already gave a sense of immense pressure. Everyone felt shock while also secretly anticipating, hoping to see that legendary invincible Zak, this dimensional apex, what he would truly look like on the dueling field.

Odd-Eyes, Clear Wing, Starving Venom, Dark Rebellion, the four heavenly dragons respectively appeared on the field, then turned into illusions and were stirred into the swirling vortex. Afterwards, the black clouds hovering in the sky were torn apart, an immeasurably vast king's form accompanied by endless lightning descended from the heavens.

Supreme King Dragon Zak, descend!
