Chapter 884

When the opponent said that, Fujiki You Xuan really became interested.

"You're also a partner of Z-one?"

Fujiki You Xuan remembered that Z-one and his companions were all originally warriors from a ruined future. Until the world was destroyed, they had all been working hard to save the world, during which time companions died one after another, until only Z-one was left.

Z-one had preserved the consciousness of his fallen companions, stored them inside the robot bodies he had built, and replicated the personalities of his former companions, letting them continue to accompany him.

But no matter how advanced the technology was, no matter how realistic the replication, in the end, they were no longer the originals. In fact, in Z-one's era, humanity had long since gone extinct; the last human left on Earth was Z-one himself.

The others, including Paradox, whom Fujiki You Xuan had met before, Aporia, who was the fusion of the three Emperors of Taiyi, and Antinomy, were all just robots that had replicated the original personalities.

However, as far as Fujiki You Xuan knew, the replicants that appeared in the original work were only the three mentioned above; it seemed no one else had appeared.

At this moment, the Executor in front of him was shocked after hearing Fujiki You Xuan's words, and said in astonishment: "Why do you know the name of God!?"

The Taiyi organization revered Z-one as God, the almighty God who transcended the organization's leader and guided the direction of the entire organization, and even the whole of humanity. But even within the organization, even the three Emperors only respectfully referred to him as "God" when mentioning him, and would not call him by his name directly; in fact, if one's rank in the organization wasn't high enough, most people shouldn't have heard the name either.

Yet this "Godwin" in front of him actually knew it!

"I am a servant of God, an executor who clears obstacles for God."

The Executor said in a low voice.

"I don't know where you heard the name of God, but since you know so much, I can't let you live!"

"I just asked a name, such a bad temper..."

Fujiki You Xuan acted helpless.

"Then set one card face-down, turn ends."

The Executor gritted his teeth.

Indeed, he was indeed one of the robots created by Z-one's technology, and as an Executor, clearing the way for the future created by Taiyi was the value of his existence.

He was not a partner of God, because he was not someone Z-one knew during his lifetime. He was just one of the strong ones who fell during the long battles in that ruined future timeline, his consciousness replicated and resurrected as a robot to become a warrior of Taiyi.

But even so, his memories and this belief in battle were genuine. He had to fight for God's ideals and for the future of humanity.

Isn't it just a turtle shell formation with attack blockade and destruction resistance? Compared to all the difficult battles so far, what does this count as?

"My turn, draw!"

The Executor said.

"Activate Magic Card 'One for One'!

Discard one monster card from my hand, and I can Special Summon one Level 1 monster from my deck!"

The Executor discarded a card from his hand, and a golden light flew out from the deck.

"Special Summon the Tuner monster 'Dark Chain-Tooth Monster' from the deck!"

【Dark Chain-Tooth Monster, ATK 400】

"Then Normal Summon 'Iron Scorpion'!"

【Iron Scorpion, DEF 300】

"Level 1, Tuner monster 'Dark Chain-Tooth Monster'!

Level 1, Iron Scorpion!

Level 8, Ally of Justice - Cosmic Gateway!

Tuning!"

【1+1+8=10】

"The wavelength resonating in the dimensional rift, cast here the hammer of judgment that breaks barriers! Synchro Summon—

——Ally of Justice - Decisive Armor!"

The Synchro halo seemed to transform into a quantum tunnel, and the tuning monsters transformed into star rings and shattered within that tunnel. The mechanical gears hovering in mid-air burst, and the deep blue data stream poured down from the dome like a waterfall. The silver-white energy mass suddenly expanded in the center of the electromagnetic storm, and endless ripples wandered across the surface of the hexagonal light film.

All engines ignited simultaneously, and the blue-and-white plasma stream tore through the energy mass, revealing the mechanical outline glowing with cold light. The Decisive Armor, as huge as a building, hovered in mid-air, quantum sparks sprayed dazzlingly from the thrusters, and the scattered mechanical debris was blown into a rotating metal sandstorm.

Level 10, Ally of Justice - Decisive Armor, Summon!

【Ally of Justice - Decisive Armor, ATK 3300】

This was the Executor's true trump card, the ultimate and strongest Ally of Justice Decisive Armor, and it also represented his resolve!

3300 high ATK, and when there is a LIGHT-attribute monster on the opponent's field, it can choose one of the following three effects to activate once per turn.

Destroy one face-down card on the opponent's field. Or discard one card from your hand to destroy all of the opponent's Spell and Trap cards. Or discard your entire hand to look at the opponent's hand, send all LIGHT-attribute monsters to the Graveyard, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the total ATK of the sent monsters.

A Decisive Armor that had "countering LIGHT-attribute" almost carved into its DNA.

If this thing were used against the likes of Seto Kaiba or Kaiser Ryo who liked to play without shuffling, Kaiba would start with Fusion plus three White Dragons, and since the White Dragons were all LIGHT-attribute, it would just blow them all away and inflict 9000 damage.

Kaiser Ryo was a bit better but not much, Fusion plus three Cyber Dragons, and since Cyber Dragons were also LIGHT-attribute, blowing away three cards would also inflict 6300 damage.

If the opponent didn't play LIGHT-attribute, this thing was just a 10-star blank, but for a LIGHT-attribute deck, it was indeed a killing weapon like a final weapon.

"Furthermore, Dark Chain-Tooth Monster's monster effect!" the Executor said. "When this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, I can destroy one face-up Spell or Trap card on the field.

Destroy 'Temple of the Kings'!"

This combo wasn't just to summon his trump card Decisive Armor, but also locked onto that key Underworld accomplice, "Temple of the Kings"!

Once the Temple was lost, the opponent's disgusting Scrap back row would lose the privilege of being able to be activated infinitely every turn!

However...

Fujiki You Xuan was expressionless, his voice without a ripple: "Activate face-down card, Trap Card 'Scrap-Iron Trap Hole'.

This card can only be activated when the opponent Special Summons a monster. Negate the Special Summon of the monster and return that monster to the owner's hand." (Original card)

Of course, it was still one of the Scrap trap series in the anime, and it hadn't been released as a physical card either.

"Nani!"

The Executor's heart sank.

Again!?

Don't, my trump card, my resolve, my tamashii...

However, saying anything was useless. The invincible Decisive Armor had just landed and hadn't even stood firm before it fell into a giant pit again, turning back into a golden light and flying back into the Executor's deck.

Of course, because it was a Synchro monster, it couldn't return to the hand, so it returned to the Extra Deck.

The Executor's expression now really wanted to kill someone.

My Decisive Armor, 10-star big monster!

Just like that, it didn't even land, and it was gone just like that.

What kind of deck are you playing?

Then he heard Fujiki You Xuan continue with a smile: "Of course, Scrap-Iron Trap Hole is the same as other Scrap traps; it is not sent to the Graveyard after activation, but is set face-down on the field again."

Executor: "..."

Fujiki You Xuan: "Of course, because 'Temple of the Kings' is still there, the set card can still be activated in the turn it is set. By the way, although your 'Dark Chain-Tooth Monster' can destroy my 'Temple of the Kings' when sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, the Synchro Summon itself has already been negated, so this effect cannot be activated."

Executor: "..."

Yeah, that's right, so in addition to infinite attack negation and infinite effect destruction resistance, now there was also the fact that the opponent couldn't perform Special Summons.

If one had to say, the disgusting level of this third trap was even worse than the previous ones...

So what could he do now?

The Executor looked blankly at his field, then at his hand.

Try to summon a monster again, and then be bounced back by that infinite-use trap hole?

Or declare an attack meaninglessly, and then be blocked by the Scarecrow again and again?

He had nothing to do.

"If you don't operate, then it's my turn, draw." Fujiki You Xuan said.

The Executor took a deep breath.

Don't be anxious, at least he still had Light of Intervention now. The opponent's submarine was now sealed by the wall, and couldn't attack for the moment.

There was still a chance...

"Activate Magic Card 'Power Bond', Fusion Summon a Machine-type monster using Fusion Materials from my hand or field."

Fujiki You Xuan slowly revealed a monster in his hand.

"Fusion 'Submarineroid' from my hand and 'Submarineroid' from the field.

The Fusion condition is two Machine-type monsters with the same name. Fusion Summon!

The strongest machine after the submarine's upgrade, the soul of the machine—

——Pair Cycroid!!!"

【Pair Cycroid, ATK 1600】

"The monster Fusion Summoned by Power Bond has its ATK doubled!"

【Pair Cycroid, ATK 1600 -> ATK 3200】

"3200 ATK?"

The Executor was startled when he saw this bicycle, but quickly calmed down.

It's fine. Although the ATK exceeded all the monsters on his field, this bicycle was EARTH-attribute, and he still had the invincible "Ally of Justice - Catastor" on his field.

Catastor could directly destroy the opponent's monster when battling any monster other than DARK-attribute, making it the strongest field-clearing tool and an invincible defensive line. No matter how high the opponent's ATK was, it was impossible to attack through it...

Fujiki You Xuan: "Pair Cycroid's effect, like the submarine, this card can attack directly."

The Executor was silent.

3200 ATK, this card can attack directly...

In an instant, he suddenly understood.

The summoning chant the opponent just recited, something about the submarine's upgrade, something about the machine's soul... He didn't understand it at the time, and was still wondering in his heart, thinking what does a submarine have to do with a bicycle? What kind of upgrade is this?

Now he understood, he understood completely.

God damn machine's soul!

You damn thing, this is the soul of an annoying person, right?

"Pair Cycroid."

Fujiki You Xuan was calm and relaxed.

"Direct attack."

【Executor, LP 2200 -> LP 0】
