Chapter 579: Meaningless Loop

"Battle. Use Eye of the Typhoon to attack 'Rose Token'!"

Fujiki You Xuan's Cloudian's single eye opened, and the violent tornado swept over with great momentum!

Amon shouted: "The effect of One Day of Peace, I won't take damage!"

"I know, but you remember the effect of Eye of the Typhoon, right?" Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

Amon frowned: "When an attack is declared, all monsters on the field must change their battle positions... so what?"

"The effect of 'Demonic Wisdom' that I just sent to your field," Fujiki You Xuan said with a smile. "When Demonic Wisdom changes from Attack Position to Defense Position, the controller must shuffle their deck."

Amon: "?????????"

What kind of meaningless effect is this? Are you sick?

【Demonic Wisdom, ATK 1250 → DEF 800】

"Alright, because of Eye of the Typhoon's attack, Demonic Wisdom has switched to defense."

Fujiki You Xuan made a gesture of invitation.

"Shuffle."

Amon frowned.

He remembered Fujiki You Xuan saying earlier that his Duel Disk was too old to shuffle automatically and it was very troublesome...

He suddenly had an absurd thought.

Could this guy just want to make him shuffle endlessly, until his wrists cramp and he doubts life, just to prove his theory about the "necessity of new Duel Disks"?

But this thought was dismissed by Amon as soon as it emerged.

No, how could there be someone so bored in this world? Such a complex loop, just to make him shuffle endlessly?

So he had no choice but to pull out his deck and shuffle.

But the moment he shuffled the deck, his whole body jolted as if electrocuted.

The world spun before his eyes, as if the deck had an invisible gravitational force sucking him into it. He felt himself spinning and falling, his body losing weight, and then countless images, along with countless emotions that came with the images, surged toward him, almost drowning him like a flood.

Amon immediately reacted.

That was his life.

He was born, abandoned, parched and hungry under the scorching sun, only able to helplessly watch the clouds in the sky, day after day, quietly waiting for death to come...

That past, which had long since left him, seemed to suddenly return before his eyes at this moment. All that suffering, despair, everything seemed to have returned to the past.

Then came the turning point of change.

As if he had hit the jackpot, he was chosen as an adopted son by the Garlem conglomerate. Although his subsequent life could not be called smooth, although he needed to face devilish training and learning, and work hard to become the elite of the elite, at least his life had a direction, a goal he would not hesitate to pay anything to achieve.

Until that goal and direction were taken away again.

The birth of his younger brother changed everything. The conglomerate no longer needed him as an heir; he retreated from being the young master with the highest expectations to behind the scenes, becoming a shadow-like existence. He became a killer and spy for the conglomerate, doing all the dirty work that needed to be done.

And during this entire period, what he found hardest to forget was when his brother was critically ill.

He originally had countless opportunities to kill this brother, take back his position, and regain everything he needed.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

No, it wasn't just that he couldn't do it. When his brother was most critically ill, it was he who ran around seeking medical treatment and medicine, even not hesitating to kneel down to others, finally saving his brother.

Thinking about it now, if it weren't for him, his critically ill brother might not have been saved at all.

It was he himself who personally buried his own path to being a King.

"Ughhh!"

With a dizzying spin, Amon, who had suddenly come to his senses, found himself kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely, almost suffocating and unable to catch his breath.

"What... what's going on?"

He looked at the deck in his hand, then at the field, and only after a long while did he remember what he was doing.

"What's wrong, Young Master?" Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "Are the memories of your own life a bit too intense?" Amon gritted his teeth.

This guy...

He seemed to understand a little bit what Fujiki You Xuan meant when he said his deck represented his life in this game.

Most of his life was unbearable to look back on. He had always numbed himself, not letting himself think or recall, focusing only on what he was doing at hand.

But now, he was forced to look directly at those things, those parts of the past he never wanted to remember, which were also the darkest parts of his life.

"My 'Revival Shi Laimu' on the field was summoned in Defense Position," Fujiki You Xuan said slowly. "Because of Eye of the Typhoon's attack just now, all monsters on the field changed their battle positions, so Shi Laimu became Attack Position. And because of the effect of 'Black Garden', Shi Laimu's ATK is halved, only 750 points."

【Revival Shi Laimu, ATK 750】

"Use 'Revival Shi Laimu' to attack 'Cloudian - Nimbusman'."

【Cloudian - Nimbusman, ATK 1500】

Amon: "!"

!. Read

A suicide attack?

Sure enough, the airflow casually spat out by Nimbusman blasted the Shi Laimu into powder. However, the Shi Laimu immediately regenerated, quickly returning to its original form.

【Revival Shi Laimu, DEF 500】

"Because of your 'One Day of Peace' effect, I won't take battle damage this turn either," Fujiki You Xuan said lightly. "When Revival Shi Laimu is destroyed, it immediately revives on the field. Also, because I summoned a monster on my field, 'Black Garden' Special Summons a new 'Rose Token' on your field."

【Rose Token, ATK 800】

Fujiki You Xuan chuckled: "My 'Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon' can attack all monsters on the field once each this turn, you haven't forgotten, right?"

Amon: "!"

He was already starting to realize.

This is...

"Eye of the Typhoon, attack the newly appeared 'Rose Token'!" Fujiki You Xuan said. "And, the moment Eye of the Typhoon attacks, all monsters on the field other than Cloudians change their battle positions. 'Demonic Wisdom', which was just changed to Defense Position, changes back to Attack Position!"

【Demonic Wisdom, DEF 800 → ATK 1250】

"Afterwards, because my 'Revival Shi Laimu' is a monster that just revived within the Battle Phase, the number of attacks has also been reset. Use Revival Shi Laimu to attack 'Cloudian - Nimbusman' again!"

Naturally, the Shi Laimu was instantly killed by Nimbusman again. But the scattered mud also immediately gathered, returning to the form of Shi Laimu.

"Revival Shi Laimu is Special Summoned again," Fujiki You Xuan said. "The effect of Black Garden, Special Summon a new 'Rose Token' on your field."

"Eye of the Typhoon can attack all monsters on the opponent's field once each, so Eye of the Typhoon attacks the newly summoned 'Rose Token' again."

"At this moment, Eye of the Typhoon's effect, all monsters on the field other than Cloudians change their battle positions. 'Demonic Wisdom' changes from Attack Position to Defense Position again."

Fujiki You Xuan paused as he spoke and chuckled.

"When Demonic Wisdom changes battle position, the controller must shuffle their deck. Come on, shuffle."

Amon's face started to twitch.

This damn...

Infinite loop!

Amon's expression had already begun to twitch.

This is...

An infinite loop!
