Chapter 851: Distorted Memory

"David, I'll borrow your dying wish."

Fujiki You Xuan played another original card used by David Rabb, the original owner of The Big Saturn, from his hand.

Well, completely ignoring the fact that he wasn't actually familiar with David at all. And if David knew that his will and deck had been inherited by this person, he might have been angered back to life from his coffin.

"Activate the Spell card 'Forced Activation' from my hand!"

"This card can force any face-down card on the field to activate." (Original card)

Fujiki You Xuan pointed to one of the face-down cards in Akiza's back row.

"Then, force that face-down card on your left to activate."

Akiza was very surprised: "Forcing my face-down card to activate!?"

Akiza's face-down card flipped over, and it was the Trap card "Thorn Wall" exclusively for Plant-Type monsters.

It can be activated when a Plant-Type monster is attacked, destroying all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field; it's basically a "Mirror Force" exclusively for Plant-Type monsters.

"Ho, it just happens to be Thorn Wall? Good luck." Fujiki You Xuan chuckled.

The set he used was a combo designed by David Rabb specifically for The Big Saturn. Forced Activation can force the opponent's face-down card to activate, and then chain the Quick-Play Spell "Detonate," which can change the effect of one Spell or Trap card activated by the opponent to "destroy one monster on the opponent's field."

After this combo, the face-down card forced to activate by the opponent can just happen to destroy "The Big Saturn" on his own field. Then, when The Big Saturn is destroyed, it inflicts damage equal to its ATK to both players.

If operated correctly, this combo can easily kill the opponent in seconds.

However, luck was good today, and the face-down card flipped on Akiza's field happened to be "Thorn Wall," a card that destroys monsters on the opponent's field, which could destroy The Big Saturn anyway. In this way, Fujiki You Xuan could save an extra card in his hand.

"The card forced to activate ignores the activation conditions and can use its effect directly," Fujiki You Xuan smiled lightly, "Therefore, use the effect of 'Thorn Wall' to destroy all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field—that is, my field."

Akiza: "!?"

Is this guy crazy?

Consumed so many resources, just to blow up his own field?

"The effect of The Big Saturn," Fujiki You Xuan said, "When this card is destroyed by the effect of a card controlled by the opponent, both players simultaneously take damage equal to The Big Saturn's ATK!"

Akiza: "!!!"

The Big Saturn's ATK is now 3800...

That's 3800 damage all at once!

And to both sides?

Akiza looked at the opponent in shock.

At this time, Fujiki You Xuan's Life Points were 2700, but Akiza still had 4000. If they took the damage together, wouldn't the opponent blow himself up...

"At this moment, I discard 'Winged Kuriboh' from my hand," Fujiki You Xuan said, "The turn 'Winged Kuriboh' is discarded, all effect damage I take becomes 0. And this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn."

Akiza: "!"

In this way, only she would take the damage...

"Detonate, The Big Saturn!"

Fujiki You Xuan raised his arm.

"Double Impact!!!"

Boom!

The core in The Big Saturn's chest suddenly turned deep red, and the star ring emitted a harsh metallic wail. The core light ball seemed to collapse into a micro-black hole within one ten-thousandth of a second, and then expanded with the momentum of a supernova explosion. The scorching white fireball carried star ring fragments, turning into thousands of radiation light wheels that swept across the field, and even space was torn into ring-shaped cracks.

"Ahhhhhh—"

Taking an unimaginable impact on both body and spirit, Akiza screamed and was thrown into mid-air, her body instantly becoming as light as a rose petal.

Intense pain, then even the pain seemed to gradually dissipate, and even her consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

Falling, falling...

A fall where she didn't know where the end would be.

Could it be... over just like this?

This is not impossible. Although her Life Points would remain at 200 after taking this move, in a duel where the impact is converted into real damage, it is normal for the duelist's body to be unable to hold on before the Life Points reach zero.

As a psychic duelist who cannot control her own power, Akiza had encountered such opponents more than once in the past. Many people would instinctively fear her when facing her, and the pain of the body would destroy the duelist's will faster than the loss of Life Points. Many people couldn't persist until the end of the duel and fell.

Would she be like this too?

A trace of mockery suddenly surged in Akiza's distracted heart.

Yeah, in the past, it was always her unilaterally making others suffer with her power—although that was never her wish. But only this time, the situation was reversed, maybe she would be unable to fight again because of the pain before the duel was lost.

Maybe this is also some kind of causality, a punishment from fate for herself.

If it really is like this, then sinking into the darkness and accepting this punishment wouldn't be bad.

But Sayer...

Right, can't give up just like this. Her own affairs don't matter, but she must avenge Sayer.

Akiza's heart trembled, and the will for revenge made her distracted consciousness begin to recover.

She remembered Sayer's tragic death, and scenes of Sayer in her memory began to flash through her mind.

The first time they met, Sayer took off her witch mask and gently told her that the mask was no longer needed, and from now on she would have a home.

And when she returned from a mission, Sayer warmly welcomed her home and said solemnly to her.

"Here, you are unique, Akiza. To us, especially to me, you are irreplaceable."

That smile was so warm, so reassuring.

Yes, must avenge Sayer. She must wake up, must continue...

However, at the moment she was thinking of this.

In the scene flashing back in her mind, Sayer, who had a gentle smile, suddenly changed his expression.

From warm to sinister, even becoming a bit sleazy, laughing sinisterly: "Hehe, Akiza, you just need to be my Akiza.

Work for me with all your might, squeeze out all your value for me, until you are covered in bruises and lose all value, then die quietly."

Akiza: "!"

What is this?

No, that's not right, Sayer never said such things...

Then the scene changed, coming to the corridor of the Arcadia Movement building. Akiza hurriedly caught up with Sayer and said: "Please don't conduct cruel potential development on those children who just joined us anymore.

They might not be able to hold on..."

"This is for their own good, Akiza. To develop their potential, this is necessary," Sayer comforted her, "Don't worry, they are like you, they are our companions. I have a sense of proportion, I won't let anything happen to them."

So Akiza didn't ask again.

But the next moment, the style changed again. Sayer turned around and gave a sinister, strange laugh, saying in a deep voice: "Well, if they die at this level, it means they are worthless to us and don't deserve to be called our companions.

So-called companions, only those who can become my weapons are qualified. If trash dies, let them die, no one will care."

Akiza: "!!!"

No, no, this is not true. Sayer didn't... he wouldn't say such things, he wouldn't think like that.

"Ahhhhhh—"

Akiza Izinski stumbled back, half-kneeling on the ground, clutching her head in pain, and glared at Fujiki You Xuan.

"It's... it's you, right?"

"You disturbed my memory, you're the one who showed me these, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head and smiled innocently: "Well, about that... what are you talking about, I don't seem to understand."

"Don't play dumb!" Akiza said angrily, "It's you... you're trying to distort my memory, do you think you can make me believe this?"

But while saying this, Akiza was also secretly terrified in her heart.

She had seen many cases of converting dueling impact into real damage, so she didn't find it strange anymore. But to be able to interfere with the opponent's mind and invade the opponent's brain...

Can such a thing really be done?

"Distort? Really?" Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Is it that I distorted your memory, or is it that you actually had these doubts in your heart all along, but you chose to selectively ignore them?"

Akiza: "!"
