Chapter 1521

"Attack Zeus!"

Raviel, Lord of Phantasms clenched his fists and threw a heavy punch, like a roaring thunder. The giant fist amidst the roaring sound was like rolling thunder, almost deafening Shada.

But Shada was not afraid at all: "Then activate the effect of 'Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder'! Detach two Xyz materials from this card, and send all other cards on the field to the Graveyard except this card!

This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!"

Two of the surrounding Xyz materials were absorbed, seemingly turning into fuel for the Sky Thunder mecha. Pale blue electric light instantly filled the entire heavy mecha.

This is the effect of Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder. It sweeps the entire field of all cards anytime, anywhere, and can be activated arbitrarily during the opponent's turn, flipping the table at the slightest disagreement.

What's even more terrifying is that this effect is "send to Graveyard for the whole field". It neither targets nor "destroys", but "sends directly to the Graveyard".

This means that even monsters like Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon that have the noble resistance of "cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects" are helpless, and facing the invincible Zeus, they only have the outcome of ending in regret.

"Did you forget," Fujiki You Xuan said calmly, "While the Awakening of the Three Phantasms is activated and effective, and there are two or more types of Phantasms on my field, all monster effects activated on the opponent's field are negated."

"I know," Shada said, "But next, I will chain to the effect of Zeus itself, and activate the effect of Zeus again.

Detach two more Xyz materials, and send all cards on the field except Zeus to the Graveyard!"

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

It is indeed possible to operate this way. Because the effect of Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder is not limited to once per turn, and it is a Spell Speed 2 effect that can be used at any time during the opponent's turn. So of course he can freely chain Zeus's own effect to itself and activate the board-clearing effect twice in a row.

But this behavior, besides being used to prove the superiority of Zeus's performance, has no meaning in itself. Or rather, it's a waste of Xyz materials.

However, after following up with Shada's next operation, it is not completely meaningless.

"Activate Set card, Counter Trap 'Divine Providence'!"

Shada's Set card in the back row flipped over.

"Divine Providence is, when a Spell, Trap, or monster effect is activated, by sending a card of the same type from my hand to the Graveyard, I can negate that activation and destroy it!"

"Hmm?" Fujiki You Xuan frowned at first.

Divine Providence chained immediately after the opponent's own Zeus effect, in other words, negating Zeus's own effect.

Negating one's own effect, and having to discard a card from the hand as the cost of activation, this kind of behavior that loses to the grandmother's house...

However, he quickly relaxed his brow and laughed out loud.

"Interesting, really interesting. You can actually think of this kind of operation..."

At this time, Shada had already displayed a monster card from his hand and sent it to the Graveyard.

"I discard a monster card, use Divine Providence to negate the monster effect activated by my own 'Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder', and negate and destroy Zeus!"

Thus, a lightning bolt like divine punishment descended from the trap, hitting Zeus and blowing this huge and gorgeous mecha into fragments.

But although the main body of Zeus had been shattered, a phantom still remained on the field. The phantom did not dissipate, and the electric current surrounding it became even more dazzling.

Fujiki You Xuan said lightly: "Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder activated its effect twice in total.

The second effect was negated by your own 'Divine Providence', and Zeus itself was also destroyed. Then, following this chain, the effect of Zeus's first activation will continue to resolve.

And when this effect is processed, the main body of Zeus has already left and is not on the field, and 'Awakening of the Three Phantasms' can only negate monsters existing on the field—" "Not bad!" Shada shouted, "Because when the effect of Zeus first activated was processed, it was no longer on the field, so it is not affected by the effect seal of 'Awakening of the Three Phantasms'!

Therefore, the effect processing of Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder passes, destroying all cards on the field!"

The firmament seemed to shatter, and thunder poured down like divine punishment. The phantom of Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder, which had clearly already left the field, sent down ten thousand feet of thunder, rolling up every card on the field like withered leaves, as if torn apart by invisible giant hands, turning into stardust and dissipating in the wind.

Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, the Field Spell Lost Paradise, and Awakening of the Three Phantasms itself... all cards were shattered, all forcibly sent to the Graveyard.

"Impressive, impressive."

Fujiki You Xuan clapped his hands.

He really didn't expect that the ancient priest, who looked like a puppet on strings, could think of such a modernized operation—although the price paid seemed like a huge loss, it was indeed an effective means to break the Phantasm sealing formation.

Being able to find a way to break the lockdown of "Awakening of the Three Phantasms" under such circumstances is already worthy of praise in itself.

"Looks like Zorc trained you well," Fujiki You Xuan joked, "You almost look like a master."

Shada panted heavily, looking as if the board-clearing just now—or perhaps piloting the Zeus mecha—had also consumed him quite a bit.

However, he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Stop with the tough talk. You have already lost your greatest reliance."

"You mean the awakened Phantasms? Perhaps."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled indifferently.

"But a great duelist once said, excellent duelists always have a second plan... I activate the Continuous Spell 'Seven Spirit Gates'."

Seven conical golden pillars burst out of the ground, forming a formation similar to the sealing formation at the Duel Academy.

"The effect of Seven Spirit Gates: When this card is activated, add one of 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames', 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder', or 'Raviel, Lord of Phantasms', or one card that mentions any of the three cards, from the Deck to the hand."

A card popped out of Fujiki You Xuan's Deck, which he drew into his hand.

"I add 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames' from the Deck to my hand."

Shada: "The last Phantasm?"

"Yes," Fujiki You Xuan said in a relaxed tone, "Next, I discard one card from my hand, the second effect of 'Seven Spirit Gates'.

Once per turn, discard one card from my hand, and I can Special Summon one Fiend-Type monster with 0 ATK and 0 DEF from the Graveyard.

I want to Special Summon 'Chaos Summoning Beast' from the Graveyard."

【Chaos Summoning Beast, ATK 0】

"Then the effect of Chaos Summoning Beast: By Tributing this card, I can Special Summon one of the Three Phantasms from my hand, ignoring its summoning conditions.

Therefore, I will Tribute 'Chaos Summoning Beast' again!

The eternal furnace roars, the burning hellfire pierces the heavens and earth, playing the requiem of the Phantasms! Awaken—Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!!!"
