Chapter 555: Professional

"You intend to win by this means!?" Weevil was angry.

"Sa, what are you talking about, I don't seem to understand," Banner smiled. "What's the difference in what kind of tactics you use as long as you win the duel?"

Weevil gritted his teeth.

Well, although he himself is not an upright duelist, he has done things like secretly stuffing cards into the opponent's deck in order to win.

But it's just very annoying!

Especially since he was beaten by a cat, which made it even more annoying.

"Finally, activate Spell card 'Black Process - Nigredo'," Banner said. "This card can only be activated when 'Alchemy Kettle' exists on your field.

Banish all 'Alchemic Beast' monsters on your field from the game. For each one banished, you can draw two cards from the deck."

The Iron Fire Dragon, Lead Lion, and Copper Scale Python on Banner's field were all covered in golden light, then turned into three rays of light and were absorbed into the huge alchemy kettle in the back row, and were banished and disappeared with a rumbling roar.

"Banished three Alchemic Beasts, I draw six cards from the deck!"

Banner's ammunition was instantly replenished.

"Then set a card, turn end."

Weevil got up with a gloomy face.

"Stinky cat... I will make you understand what kind of consequences there will be for annoying Lord Weevil!"

"My turn, draw!"

Weevil narrowed his eyes and looked at the Rivalry of Warlords on the opposite side.

"You seem to think that with this thing, I can't summon, but this level can't lock me."

"My turn, draw!"

Weevil flipped a card, then immediately waved his hand to flip over the back row.

"Activate face-down card! Continuous Trap 'DNA Surgery'!

Change all monsters on the field to the race I declare, I declare Insect-type!"

As the voice fell, the three Ojama tokens on his field began to mutate, growing insect legs and mouthparts, just like the mutated monsters in horror movies.

"Ha, actually there is this move, meow," Banner smiled. "Not bad. If they are all Insect-type, your summoning restriction is indeed lifted."

"Then I normal summon 'Pinch Hopper'!"

【Pinch Hopper, ATK 1000】

"Then activate Spell card 'Spike God's Insecticide'!" Weevil waved his hand and played a Spell card. "Destroy all Insect-type monsters on the field!"

"So that's it, the combination of DNA Surgery and Insecticide, the combo of turning any monster on the opponent's field into Insect-type and then using Insecticide to clear the field?"

Banner smiled lightly.

"However, there are no monsters on my field now, the only thing destroyed is your own field, meow."

"Hehehe, I know... Why do you think I deliberately had to summon Pinch Hopper first and then activate Insecticide?"

Weevil sneered, then waved his hand.

"Pinch Hopper's effect! When this card is sent from your field to the Graveyard, you can special summon any Insect-type from your hand!"

He laughed loudly and held up a card in his hand.

"My trump card is not just Ultimate Insect, recognize it deeply now.

Descend! The ruler of insects—"

"—Insect Queen!!!"

A sharp female voice, followed by an earth-shaking movement. A huge shadow appeared on the field, as if some powerful existence responded to the duelist's call and was about to descend.

Insect Queen, the new generation trump card shown when Weevil and Joey Wheeler fought during the Battle City period. Although it didn't seem very strong at the time, later generations proved that this monster actually still had potential that hadn't been developed.

Translating, it means that the dog K that sells feelings also released a new vest for Insect Queen, called "Ultimate Mutation - Insect Queen". Compared with the original Insect Queen, it is a bird gun changing into a cannon, upgraded by more than one star and a half.

However...

"Error."

The duel disk made an error sound, and jumping electric currents splashed on the monster zone.

Then the huge phantom disappeared directly. The miserable Insect Queen didn't even appear on the field, leaving only an unwilling scream and disappearing.

"Nani!?" Weevil was shocked. "My Insect Queen? Why don't you let me summon it?"

Duel disk malfunctioned?

"Hahahahaha, very interesting tactic. But your 'Pinch Hopper' can only special summon insects when it is 'sent from the field to the Graveyard'."

"But it's a pity."

Banner's ghost pushed up his glasses frame and said sinisterly.

"Your Pinch Hopper will never reach the Graveyard."

"What?"

Weevil noticed the face-down card that Banner had already activated in the back row.

"Continuous Trap 'Macro Cosmos'!" Banner said. "As long as this card is on the field, cards sent to the Graveyard cannot go to the Graveyard but are banished directly from the game!"

Weevil's face stiffened.

This...

So now I don't even have a grave?

"In addition, the three Ojama tokens you just destroyed on your field all have effects," Banner said. "Every time a token is destroyed, you must take 300 points of damage."

【Weevil, LP 2000 -> LP 1100】 "And, the descent of Macro Cosmos will also bring the ultimate alchemical life..."

Banner raised his arm high and shouted very handsomely.

"Descend—"

"—Helios - The Primordial Sun!"

The pitch-black universe, the stars seemed to have lost their color. The fire of the sun was ignited, as if some existence at the center of this universe was about to descend!

Weevil's pupils contracted, holding his breath, staring at the ball of fire, instinctively not daring to breathe...

However, nothing happened.

Banner maintained the pose of raising his arm for a few seconds, and the atmosphere of the scene became a bit stiff.

Weevil was dazed for a few seconds and slowly lowered his head. Only to see that fat orange cat was struggling to pull the deck out of the duel disk, and then searching in that pile of cards with its mouth and paws.

Weevil: "..."

Banner sighed: "That's why I said, leaving such an important job to a cat, the leader is really big-hearted..."

The orange cat found the card it was looking for, put it in its mouth, and placed it on the duel disk.

"Come on, Helios!"

【Helios - The Primordial Sun, ATK?】

"Although I don't know what you want to do..."

Weevil had been pitted by Macro Cosmos, and his field was empty again. He gritted his teeth, but still didn't give up.

"Activate Continuous Spell 'Insect Barrier'!

All Insect-type monsters on the opponent's field cannot attack!"

"Ho?" Banner narrowed his eyes. "The means of combining with 'DNA Surgery'?"

"Correct!" Weevil said. "No matter how powerful the monster is, under the action of Insect Barrier..."

"My turn, draw."

Banner didn't give any face at all, and even before Weevil finished speaking, he calmly revealed a hand card.

"Quick-Play Spell 'Double Cyclone'. Destroy one Spell/Trap card on your field and one Spell/Trap card on the opponent's field at the same time."

Weevil's heart tightened instantly.

At this moment, he seemed to realize.

He was already a dead man.

"Destroy Continuous Trap 'Rivalry of Warlords' and Continuous Trap 'DNA Surgery' together," Banner smiled. "In this way, my monster is no longer an Insect-type."

"Insect Barrier is useless."

"Then activate Spell card 'Yellow Process - Kitorinix' from your hand!"

"Sacrifice Helios, let the Primordial Sun upgrade, special summon 'Helios Duo Megistus' from the deck!"

Banner raised his arm high and struck a unique pose for a duelist summoning a trump card.

Then there was another few seconds of embarrassing silence.

Well, the fat orange cat had to slowly pull out the deck and start searching again...

Once again reflecting the importance of a duel disk that can automatically search and shuffle cards.

After a while, the orange cat was panting and holding the monster card in its mouth and placing it on the duel disk, and then struggling to stuff the shuffled deck back into the duel disk.

【Helios Duo Megistus, ATK?】

"Then activate Spell card 'Red Process - Rubedo'!

Sacrifice Duo Megistus, upgrade again! Special summon 'Helios Trice Megistus' from the deck!"

Pharaoh, the orange cat who had finally finished shuffling the deck and stuffed it back, froze.

"Meow?"

Pharaoh blinked its innocent big eyes twice and looked at the ghost Banner posing in mid-air.

The cat suddenly had the urge to beat this ghost up...

Weevil: "..."

But in the end, Pharaoh still drooped its head, listlessly pulling out the deck again, and searching hard...

"Appear!" Banner shouted very handsomely. "Helios Trice Megistus!!!"

【Helios Trice Megistus, ATK?】

And in sharp contrast to this domineering trump card burning with three groups of flames and Banner who was full of passion for summoning the trump card, was the orange cat lying on the ground listlessly.

Pharaoh looked up at Banner lazily and meowed without energy.

As if saying, the hard work is all done by me, what are you being handsome for...

"Helios's attack power is the number of monsters banished from the game x 300 points," Banner said. "I have three Alchemic Beasts banished from the game, and your Pinch Hopper from the last turn was also banished from the game by Macro Cosmos."

"Therefore, Helios's attack power is now 1200."

【Helios Trice Megistus, ATK 1200】

"Well, not too high, but just enough." Banner smiled brightly. 【5

【Weevil, LP 1100】

Weevil's body trembled with rage.

"You bastard cat!"

"Battle," Daedalus said. "Helios - The Primordial Sun, direct attack."

The sun blasted out a spiral of flames, piercing straight through Weevil. Weevil let out a roar of unwillingness, finally collapsing to his knees amidst the rising inferno.

【Weevil, LP 1100 → LP 0】
