Chapter 1523

"Overlay two 'Zoodiac Ratpier'!"

The two monsters turned into intersecting beams of light and fell into the overlay network, the light beam erupted, turning into a verdant storm.

"Appear, Rank 4! Daigusto Emeral!"

【Daigusto Emeral, ATK 1800】

"Emeral's effect, once per turn, detach one Xyz material, and I can add three monsters from my Graveyard to the Deck and shuffle them, then draw one card from the Deck."

Thus, one of Emeral's materials was absorbed, the knight's giant wings spread, and a transparent whirlwind erupted.

"I take Zoodiac Broadbull, Drident, and this card from the Graveyard...

He seemed to pause deliberately, slowly displaying the third monster in the Graveyard with a near-solemn speed.

... return 'Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder' to the Deck."

Of course, all three are Xyz monsters, so they return to the Extra Deck.

However, his Deck still performed the self-shuffling procedure in the Duel Disk, and then he drew a card.

"Next, use 'Zoodiac Chakanine' on the field as Xyz material, Xyz again!" Shada said, "One monster constructs an overlay network, Xyz Summon! Appear again—

—Zoodiac Drident!"

【Zoodiac Drident, DEF 0】

"Battle Phase," Shada said, "Daigusto Emeral, attack 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames'!"

The Gusto knight rolled up a verdant storm, sweeping toward the Lord of Searing Flames like ten thousand wind blades.

"Then activate Set card," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Continuous Trap 'Hyper Blaze'!"

When this card's 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames' battles, I can discard one Trap Card from my hand or Deck to the Graveyard.

This turn, until the end of the turn, the ATK of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames becomes 1000 times the number of Trap Cards on both sides' fields and Graveyards."

A trap popped out of Fujiki You Xuan's Deck and was sent to the Graveyard.

Shada: "Both sides' fields and Graveyards?"

"Not bad. Your Graveyard has the Trap Card 'Divine Providence', my field has 'Hyper Blaze' itself, and my Graveyard has 'Awakening of the Three Phantasms' and the trap just sent to the Graveyard, for a total of four Trap Cards.

"The effect of Phantasm Summoning Beast: by Tributing this card, I can add 'Uria, Lord of Searing Flames', 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder', or 'Raviel, Lord of Phantasms' from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

【Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, ATK 4000】

In this way, Uria's ATK surpassed the opponent's, and Daigusto Emeral, who attempted to challenge the Phantasm, suddenly appeared so small and ridiculous in front of Uria, like trying to strike a stone with an egg.

But Shada was not flustered, only saying calmly: "Then activate the effect of Zoodiac—Drident at this moment.

Drident's effect can be activated during either player's turn. Detach one Xyz material, and I can destroy any face-up card on the field."

Thus, the material surrounding Drident was absorbed, as if turning into pure energy. The giant gun fell, locked onto the target, and fired a spiral lethal beam.

The chest and abdomen of the Lord of Searing Flames were pierced, and a huge hole was bored through the giant dragon's body. It let out an angry roar, but it couldn't suppress the spiral flames constantly gushing out from the hole, which soon swallowed the huge red body.

The obstacle in front of the Gusto knight disappeared instantly, and the pressure seemed to dissipate suddenly. The ten thousand wind blades had no more obstacles, cutting straight through Fujiki You Xuan.

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 7000 → LP 5200】

Of course, in the previous turn, Fujiki You Xuan had already recovered to 7000 Life Points through the trap effect of "Awakening of the Three Phantasms", so he could still completely say that an attack of this magnitude was painless.

But he also clearly knew that hitting such a shot, the output was secondary, and Shada had other purposes.

"Battle Phase end, but my turn is not over yet."

Shada's eyes flashed with light, as if lightning was surging within them.

He drew a card that popped out of the Extra Deck, and that card seemed to fly out automatically, looking almost like a flowing electric light.

"This card has one chance in a turn where an Xyz monster has battled to use an Xyz monster on my field as Xyz material to overlay and Xyz Summon."

He naturally pointed to "Daigusto Emeral" that had just attacked Fujiki You Xuan.

"Therefore, I overlay 'Daigusto Emeral' again, reconstruct the overlay network, Xyz Summon! Descend again—Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder!"

Just like the curtain of the galaxy being torn, the giant mecha entwined with plasma arcs fell with a bang. Unknown alloy forged that mythical armor, with thunder energy patterns flowing on the surface, and the whole body leaped and erupted with plasma and ghostly blue flames.

【Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder, ATK 3000】

"Oh, it's it again," Fujiki You Xuan said, "But this thing is indeed powerful."

In this way, in the next turn, Shada again possessed the unreasonable board-clearing ability of Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder to "detach two materials to sweep the entire field".

But Shada clearly felt that this was still not enough.

"Next, activate the Spell Card 'Overlay Regen' from my hand!" Shada said, "This card can select one Xyz monster on my field and use this card as an Xyz material for that card.

I will overlap 'Overlay Regen' under 'Zoodiac Drident' and use it as Xyz material!"

Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head: "Hmm, does that mean there is Drident's disruption besides Zeus? A bit troublesome."

Zoodiac Drident can also detach its own material during the opponent's turn and destroy one card on the opponent's field. In this way, the opponent has two means of off-turn disruption interference—one of which is still the table-flipping ability like Zeus.

Indeed a bit troublesome.

"Set one card, turn end."

Shada revealed a haughty expression, as if victory was already in his grasp, looking like a proud rooster.

"Although your Phantasm's despicable effect seal did indeed cause me some trouble for a while—I must admit this point, but that's as far as it goes."

Shada said proudly.

"Just as I said, what I possess is the strongest Deck bestowed by the gods. That little inconvenience can't stop me at all..."

"My turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan ruthlessly interrupted the chanting, glanced at the card he drew, and shook it slowly in his hand.

"Activate the Continuous Spell 'Thunder of the Lost Paradise'."

Fujiki You Xuan inserted the card into the back row. At the same time, a sharp thunderbolt struck from the dark sky, the lightning exploded on the ground, and an image of the spell rose from the charred mark.

The opponent saw the card art on the Spell Card clearly—the hideous image of "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", with dangerous lightning coiled around its golden body.

"Hamon's exclusive card?" Shada frowned.

"Yes. Of course, you can choose to use Drident's effect to blow it up, or simply use Zeus to flip the table," Fujiki You Xuan smiled, "How about it? Do you want to blow it up?"
