Chapter 427

Balrog struck out with the flame longsword in its hand, coming very fast. Everyone only saw a flash of fire in the field, as if piercing through the center of the field, and Ojama Yellow on You Xuan's field was burned to ashes in the flames while holding its head.

【Ojama Yellow, DEF 1000】

Arbiter continued: "Balrog's effect also activates."

"After Balrog destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, it can activate its special ability to Special Summon the destroyed monster to my field in Attack Position during the End Phase of this turn."

"The monster Special Summoned by this effect has its effects negated, but its attribute is changed to FIRE!"

"An effect that takes control through battle!" Judai couldn't help but shout.

"And the attribute changes to FIRE, and its own ATK will increase with the increase in the number of FIRE monsters," Hibiki Midori also said in a deep voice. "What a terrifying monster."

Such a similar effect is similar to the Synchro Monster 'Goyo Guardian' that appeared in 'Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's' in the actual cards. Such a perverted ability caused Goyo Guardian to be locked in the small black room for six years in a row, and finally received a package of modified summoning conditions before being released after serving its sentence.

At this time, Balrog had already thrown out a bundle of flames, piercing the ground as if entering the Huang Quan, binding Ojama Yellow which had already entered the Graveyard.

"Activate face-down card," You Xuan said. "Trap Card 'Ojama Trio'. Special Summon three 'Ojama Tokens' on the opponent's field!"

The three yellow, green, and black tokens quickly jumped to occupy Arbiter's field, each finding a grid and skillfully starting to eat snacks, read newspapers, and doze off.

"Excuse me!"

"Oh my, I'm sorry to borrow your yard..."

"Snore~ snore~"

Arbiter frowned slightly.

Giving these small-fry to himself...

"Next, activate face-down card, Continuous Trap—"

You Xuan waved his hand, and the backfield activated again.

"—Cosmic Compression!"

Judai was the first to jump up: "Ah, it's this tactic!"

He naturally had the deepest impression. This was the cooperation between him and You Xuan back then, which brought endless happiness to that legendary pair of brothers when they played against the Labyrinth Brothers.

Cosmic LOCK combined with the Ojama deck!

"'Cosmic Compression', as long as this card is on the field, each player can have at most five cards on the field," You Xuan said. "If there are more than five, you must send cards on the field to the Graveyard until there are five."

"And after the cards on the field reach the limit of five, neither player can play any new cards onto the field."

Mokuba: "Ah, the cards on Arbiter's field now..."

"Three Ojama Tokens, Orichalcos Shunoros, and one in the backfield, exactly five cards," Kaiba said.

"Hmph, they are all inexplicable tactics."

Although he said so, a playful smile couldn't help but appear on his face, looking at Arbiter.

In this way, no matter if it is Arbiter's new monster summon or playing Spell/Trap cards onto the field, it is impossible. Of course, there is also the Magic Deflector barrier after this, and Spell Cards couldn't be activated anyway.

Arbiter's face was a bit strange.

"'Cosmic Compression'," he said faintly. "Combined with Ojama's lockdown, you simply sealed my right to play cards, what a terrifying tactic. Terrifying, but it is indeed your style..."

His eyes flickered, looking You Xuan up and down.

"Doma knows everything that has happened in this world, and I have also investigated you, Fujiki You Xuan."

"You were not a duelist keen on this kind of tactic before... No, or rather, the first half of your life didn't even show any special features, just an ordinary amateur duelist in an ordinary duel dojo."

"In just half a year, you were able to go from such a low point to the very peak of the world's duelists..."

He sneered twice.

"What an inspiring story."

You Xuan frowned and said nothing.

Arbiter didn't care about his attitude of ignoring him, just lowered his voice and said coldly: "Only one question. Now that you have come to this stage and walked to this step, is it Fujiki You Xuan or someone else?"

You Xuan's heart jumped.

This guy... could it be that he saw through his secret as a transmigrator?

But only surprised for a moment, he quickly regained his composure.

Even if the slippery snake knew, what? It wouldn't have any impact on the direction of the duel.

Now he just needs to put aside distractions and concentrate on the duel.

"Still indifferent even like this..." Arbiter said faintly. "You must think that now that you are under the lockdown of 'Cosmic Compression' and can't play even a single card, I am as good as dead, right?"

He smiled mysteriously.

"Ojama Trio, the tokens summoned by this card cannot be used as Tributes for a Tribute Summon, and as long as the quantity cannot be reduced, it cannot break through the lockdown of compression, what a terrifying tactic. A guy who can think of such means is indeed a terrifying duelist... but it's not without dead ends."

He raised his hand, and a red Trap Card was ejected from his Graveyard, spinning.

"Activate Trap Card 'Breakthrough Skill' from the Graveyard."

"During my turn, banish this card from the Graveyard to negate the effect of one monster on the opponent's field until the end of the turn!"

Hibiki Midori was shocked: "Activate trap from the Graveyard... Right!"

"Activating a trap from the Graveyard doesn't need to be on the field to take effect," Kaiba said. "He caught this flaw..."

"The effect of 'Breakthrough Skill', negate the effect of 'Magic Deflector' on the field."

A layer of binding halo shrouded the white machine, and Magic Deflector soon stopped roaring, and its color dimmed.

"In this way, the magic restriction is lifted, so I activate this card..."

Arbiter slowly raised his hand, and the face-down card in the backfield was flipped open.

"Spell Card 'Magic-Space Fusion'!" Arbiter said. "Tribute the three 'Ojama Tokens' on the field, and Special Summon this card from the Deck—"

"—Magical Fortress Ziggurat!!!"

The three Ojamas disappeared from the field, replaced by a pillar of light that seemed to pierce the firmament. Pitch-black steel structure, like a moving floating mountain casting a heart-palpitating shadow. Complex gears and precise conduits intertwined, extending into a structure like a giant beast's skeleton, and the dense array of cannons around its body seemed to condense destructive power.

【Magical Fortress Ziggurat, ATK 2500 -> ATK 3000】 (Orichalcos boost)

"Magical... Fortress!?" Mokuba exclaimed again. "Isn't this also Amelda's..."

"Magical Fortress Ziggurat was originally designed by Doma," Kaiba said gloomily.

"Ah right." Mokuba remembered this.
