Chapter 845

"Set one card, my turn ends."

Fujiki You Xuan says.

"In the End Phase, the effect of 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter' you activated this turn has also ended. The banished 'Dark Carrier' returns to the field."

With a burst of transparent dimensional waves, the shadow of the pitch-black carrier covers everything again like Mount Taishan, and the carrier hangs high in the air.

【Dark Carrier, DEF 3000】

"This is the carrier you sacrificed your own body to protect, now it's returned to you." Fujiki You Xuan smiles faintly, "Don't waste this opportunity, use its power to counterattack properly."

Off the track, Jack says indifferently: "That guy named Bommer is completely being played in the palm of Goodwin's hand."

"It seems so for now." Yusei also says, "But he still has a chance. This turn is Bommer's desperate counterattack."

"Hmm?"

Jack raises his eyebrows and looks at Yusei, as if asking, how do you know?

Yusei doesn't explain, only saying: "You'll understand if you keep watching."

Bommer's voice is like a bell: "My turn, draw!"

He looks to be at an absolute disadvantage, but his fighting spirit hasn't been eliminated because of it. Or rather, he has always hated Goodwin to the bone, and in this duel, the trump cards he spent so much effort to summon were repeatedly returned, returned, and returned again. That feeling of powerlessness, having exerted all his strength but never being able to throw a punch, only made this hatred spread more and more, making him wish he could skin him alive.

And Yusei is right, he still has a chance!

It is precisely because he protected the symbol of the Dark Signer, the trump card of Dark Synchro, "Dark Carrier", that he has this chance to counterattack.

"Activate Speed Spell 'Angel Baton'!"

Bommer also reveals this strongest spell.

"When there are two or more Speed Counters, draw two cards from the Deck, then discard one card from your hand."

Bommer draws two cards, then discards one card from his hand.

"The card I discarded is precisely... 'Giant Bomber Air Raid'!"

Then his thick arm is raised high again, and he shouts angrily.

"Dark Carrier's effect! Once per turn, select 'Giant Bomber Air Raid' from your Graveyard and Special Summon it to the field, ignoring the summoning conditions!

Return to my side once again!

Giant Bomber Air Raid!!!"

A dark quagmire gradually appears beneath the flying carrier, as if it were an ocean leading to hell. The aircraft carrier slowly rises from underwater, the massive mecha slowly floats to the surface, and it marches side-by-side with the carrier again.

【Giant Bomber Air Raid, ATK 3000】

Jack is startled. This guy named Bommer really has some skills. He actually really called this bomber back immediately...

"Giant Bomber Air Raid's effect!" Bommer says, "Once per turn, discard one card from your hand to destroy any one card on the opponent's field!"

As he speaks, he stuffs a card from his hand into the Graveyard.

At this moment, there are a total of two cards on "Goodwin's" field: one Brionac on the front row and one face-down card on the backrow.

Bommer's gaze shifts, and after a brief thought, he finally points to the backrow.

"Destroy the face-down card in the backrow!"

Although Brionac is powerful, its ATK is only 2300, and it has no ability to interfere with the opponent outside of the turn, so it can be easily defeated through battle. At this moment, the unknown face-down card in the backrow is more threatening.

At this moment, the opponent's LP is an unscathed 4000 points. Even if Bommer risks ignoring that face-down card and uses the Bomber's effect to destroy Brionac, and then attacks directly, although he can deal a huge 3000 points of damage, the opponent would still have 1000 LP left, so it wouldn't be very meaningful if he couldn't finish him off.

It's definitely better to clear the backrow first.

The bomber drops bombs, bombing Fujiki You Xuan's field with loud booms. The face-down card in the backrow is caught in the explosion's fire, and the image that flashed by before being swallowed by the smoke screen can be seen as a red trap, but it is not a common general-purpose trap, and it has already disappeared in the fire in the blink of an eye.

"With this, your Brionac has lost its protection." Bommer says, "Giant Bomber Air Raid, crush that disgusting dragon!"

All the gun ports on the bomber's body complete charging at the same time, and the honeycomb missile bay lights up with dense, crimson locking light spots. Full-barrage launch command confirmed, all gun barrels retract to the limit and then suddenly snap back. The 360-degree surrounding rain of bullets, the missiles dragging gorgeous tails of fire, seem to form a boiling waterfall of molten iron, with tens of thousands of shrapnel leaping in the smoke.

But at this moment, Fujiki You Xuan's mouth suddenly twitches.

"I've been waiting for this."

Fujiki You Xuan waves his hand slowly.

"Activate Trap!"

"Nani?" Bommer is startled and hurriedly says, "Wait, you have nothing in your backrow, you have no trap card to activate..."

"Of course I do."

Fujiki You Xuan chuckles, and the vortex in the Graveyard beside him opens, and a trap card flies out from it while spinning.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse before being swallowed by the artillery fire just now, Bommer still recognizes that this card is precisely the card that was just destroyed by his Giant Bomber.

"Trap card - Cross Counter Trap." Fujiki You Xuan says, "The turn this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you have only one chance to activate a trap card from your hand." (Original card)

It is also a trap used by Yugi back in the day.

During the explanation, the image of this Cross Counter Trap card has already begun to change. Ripples of starlight slowly roll over the trap card, and the image on the card changes into a completely different trap. The trap releases an endless vortex—dark, desperate, like a vortex where monsters from purgatory ride black mist and sweep across everything unscrupulously.

"Trap card 'Catastrophe of the Evil God'!

When the opponent declares an attack, destroy all monsters on the field!" (Original effect)

A trap used by Marik in Battle City; the physical card was changed to destroy all Spell and Trap cards.

The evil vortex expands rapidly until it almost covers the entire field. The terrifying gravitational force sucks both Bommer's Giant Bomber and Dark Carrier into it, and under the heavy pressure, the sound of metal being crushed comes out. Both giant mechas explode in it, turning into burning fireballs and falling.

"The trap set on the field was just a decoy, the real trap was hidden in his hand." Jack says.

Yusei nods: "Hmm, a chain trap. Bommer's counterattack was completely manipulated by Goodwin from beginning to end. This Director Goodwin is a quite terrifying trap-using master."

"Tch, just lucky." Jack sneers, "He chose to set 'Cross Counter Trap' and kept the real killer move 'Catastrophe of the Evil God' in his hand, but the premise for this double trap to work is that Bommer would go to destroy his face-down card in the backrow.

What if Bommer didn't go to destroy the face-down card..."

"No, it wasn't a gamble, nor was it luck. Goodwin analyzed the situation and intentionally guided the duel to this situation."

Yusei shakes his head.

"Last turn, Bommer activated 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter'. He could have chosen to protect the Carrier, or he could have chosen to protect the Giant Bomber. And in the end, he chose the Carrier..."

Reminded by Yusei, Jack suddenly realizes: "Right, if he could only choose one, he should have chosen the Giant Bomber, which has a more powerful effect.

But Bommer chose to use the trap to protect the Dark Carrier last turn."

Yusei nods: "The Dark Carrier has the effect of being able to revive Giant Bomber every turn; it is the guarantee of sustainability. There is only one situation where Bommer would choose to prioritize protecting the Dark Carrier..."

Jack blurts out: "He was certain he could revive Giant Bomber next turn!"

"Yes. So the revival of Giant Bomber this turn was not a coincidence, but a certainty." Yusei says, "Giant Bomber's effect is that you can destroy one card on the field by discarding a card from your hand.

Suppose Goodwin has both Brionac and one face-down card on the field, and Goodwin's LP is still 4000. Giant Bomber's ATK is 3000, and Dark Carrier's ATK is only 0, so he can't finish him off in one turn..."

Jack says: "So Bommer would definitely prioritize destroying the face-down card!"

"Exactly." Yusei nods, "There is no luck, and there are no bets. The direction of this duel was entirely within Goodwin's calculations."
