Chapter 1487: Supreme King Dragon

The Wicked Avatar, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, descends!

"Wicked Gods?" Z-ARC said. "Indeed, they are powerful spirits. But even Wicked Gods cannot break through the attack lockdown of the Supreme King Dragon."

Fujiki You Xuan said: "Then, I will activate the effect of the Spell Card 'Shuffle Reborn' from my Graveyard. By banishing this card from the Graveyard, I can target one card on my field, return it to the owner's hand, and then draw one card from my Deck."

"However, if I still have cards in my hand at the end of this turn, I must banish one card from my hand."

The Spell Card in Fujiki You Xuan's Graveyard manifested, and golden light enveloped the 'Dark Summoning God' on his field. The Dark Summoning God transformed into a black vortex, was absorbed, and returned to the Deck. Fujiki You Xuan then drew another card.

"Next, I activate the Field Spell 'Lair of Darkness'!"

A pitch-black giant tree rose from the ground, growing into a hideous form. Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, gained the blessing of an invisible power, let out a ferocious roar toward the sky, and spewed flames from its mouth.

"Lair of Darkness allows me to draw two cards from my Deck once per turn if any one of the three Wicked Gods is on my field," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Since I have Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, on my field, I draw from my Deck!"

Fujiki You Xuan drew two more cards.

After the continuous draws, he scanned them and thought for a moment.

"Then I will set two cards on the field and end my turn for now," Fujiki You Xuan said.

Yuma asked: "Huh? Ending without attacking..."

"There's no way to attack for now," Astral explained. "The two Supreme King Dragons have formed an attack lockdown on each other. Besides, even if Fujiki You Xuan found a way to break the lockdown, as long as the Pendulum Scales exist on the field, attacking is meaningless."

Yusei also said: "That's right. For example, even if Fujiki You Xuan used an effect to destroy one of the dragons or negate its effect, all battle damage would be absorbed by the 'Supreme King Gate' scales and turned into life points."

Yugi nodded: "Indeed. And 'Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm' is a Pendulum Monster; even if destroyed, it won't go to the Graveyard but to the Extra Deck. He only needs to Pendulum Summon next turn to revive it..."

"Oh, right." Yuma suddenly realized. "Besides the obvious attack lockdown, there are so many layers of defense..."

Rei said: "That is to be expected. Even if Z-ARC's main body was taken, he is by no means an opponent to be taken lightly."

"My turn, draw."

Z-ARC drew a card and looked up, his eyes brewing with pitch-black lightning.

"You had better be prepared to pay the price for your blasphemy." Z-ARC raised his hand. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Mystical Space Typhoon'!"

"Use this card to destroy a Spell or Trap card on the field."

"I will destroy your Continuous Trap 'Tuner's Conspiracy'!"

A pitch-black storm whipped up, and dark lightning struck the back-row trap, which was instantly shattered into dust.

"The effect of 'Tuner's Conspiracy' is negated, so the stolen control returns!" Z-ARC roared. "Return to my field, my own self!"

Thus, the huge, hideous Supreme King Dragon finally left Fujiki You Xuan's field along with that ominous black cloud and flew back to Z-ARC's side.

"Oh, you finally reclaimed yourself," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Not easy. But now, as you destroyed my trap and sent it to the Graveyard, the number of traps in my Graveyard has increased, and the attack power of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, rises accordingly."

"Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' from my hand," Z-ARC said. "Draw two cards from the Deck."

Z-ARC drew two cards.

Before 'Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC' was reclaimed, he couldn't even easily activate 'Pot of Greed'. Because in the anime, Z-ARC has an effect that "destroys cards added to the hand outside of the Draw Phase," so as long as Z-ARC was on the opponent's field, he couldn't even filter or search.

But now, the situation has reversed. Z-ARC's power has returned to his own hands, so the pressure is back on the opponent!

"Next is Pendulum Summon!" Z-ARC shouted. "With 'Supreme King Gate Zero' and 'Supreme King Gate Infinity' as Pendulum Scales, I Pendulum Summon any number of monsters between levels 1 and 12—"

"—Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes!!!"

The ace of the anime protagonist Yuya has been reduced to a Supreme King form... No, perhaps it should be said that Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon was derived from this dragon. Because the four Heavenly Dragons were all originally supposed to belong to the Supreme King.

"It's not over yet. You have annoyed me, human," Z-ARC continued. "Feel honored. I haven't been this angry in a long time, so what I am about to give you will be the highest treatment no one else has ever received!"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Transmigration Fusion' from my hand!"

He inserted a Spell card into his Duel Disk.

"Pay 1000 Life Points, fuse the fusion material monsters from my field, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster in Attack Position!" (Anime effect)

【Z-ARC, LP 3700 → LP 2700】

"I use the two 'Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm' on my field as fusion materials to perform a Transmigration Fusion Summon!" Z-ARC said. "Appear—"

"—Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom!"

This time, it was clearly the Supreme King form of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon. The dragon, which was already lethal and hideous, now looked three times more ferocious than before.

【Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom, ATK 2800】

"Then, the follow-up effect of Transmigration Fusion," Z-ARC said. "Monsters used as fusion materials by the effect of Transmigration Fusion can have their attack power become 0 and be Special Summoned back to my field after the Fusion Summon."

He raised his thick arms above his head and clenched his fists.

"Come back! Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm!"

It is already obvious that these two Darkwurms are existences that work themselves to death for Z-ARC's deck. Whether Z-ARC is attacking or defending, Pendulum, Xyz, Synchro, or Fusion, he always needs these two dragons to jump back and forth.

【Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm, ATK 0】

"Then, activate the effect of 'Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom'!" Z-ARC said. "Once per turn, this card can target any monster on the opponent's field or in the Graveyard. Until the End Phase of this turn, Starving Venom gains that monster's effect, and that opponent's monster's effect is negated!" (Anime effect)

After being released as a physical card, it can not only steal effects but also gain the opponent's card name, but it cannot negate the opponent's effects. The anime version, however, can further negate the opponent's effects.

"The attack power of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, comes entirely from monster effects. If the effect is negated, Uria is just a weakling with 0 attack! Die!" ===== CHAPTER 1488 =====
