Pluto Dragon—Judgment God was pierced through the chest; black flames gushed from the wound like burning blood, and the dragon shattered into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You Xuan, LP 7000 → LP 5900】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Psychics’ counterattack!” the bald commentator shouted. “At the very last moment, the Psychics team, inheriting their teammates’ trust, summoned their strongest Wangpai —and for the first time in this duel, they landed a decisive blow on You Xuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will this be the trumpet call of their counteroffensive?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor: “Psychic Realm Demon’s effect: when it destroys a monster in battle, I recover Life Points equal to that monster’s original ATK.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, I convert ‘Pluto Dragon—Judgment God’s’ ATK into my Life Points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Victor, LP 4000 → LP 6800】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he summoned a powerful monster and launched a successful counter, but he’d even surpassed his opponent in Life Points.

Plus, our Psychic deck has many ways to summon excluded cards back—clearly a net gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Psychic Realm Demon itself can negate and destroy any Spell\u002FTrap targeting it by paying 1000 LP—giving it resistance against both effects and battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And my Life Points are now at 6800; it won’t be easy for him to finish me off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I set one card face-down. End my turn,” Victor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wall-like formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor felt this was his best chance yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “My turn. Draw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew a card, then lazily played one from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate Continuous Spell: ‘Royal Palace of the Monarchs.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst mist-shrouded celestial skies, a golden palace rose from the clouds, standing firm among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While ‘Royal Palace of the Monarchs’ is on the field, I can activate my Trap Cards during the turn I set them,” You Xuan said, already flipping two cards face-down. “I set two cards to my back row.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then You Xuan flipped one of his face-down cards: “Activate Trap Card: ‘Destruction Wheel.’ Destroy one monster on the field; both players take damage equal to that monster’s ATK!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor: “!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroy a monster on the field…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he immediately reacted: “But! When Psychic Realm Demon becomes the target of an opponent’s card effect, I can pay Life Points to negate that effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you want to destroy my Psychic Realm Demon—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha, you’re right—your Wangpai  is quite formidable,” You Xuan chuckled. “Then I won’t target your monster. I’ll destroy my own ‘Sky Sage—Minerva!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minerva exploded into fragments; flames surged outward, engulfing both players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now you’ll take damage too!” Victor shouted. “My Life Points are higher than yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he spoke, his pupils shrank—he suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right—last turn, when he activated a Counter Trap, he used ‘Sky Sage—Minerva’ to recover a Counter Trap from his graveyard. That card was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this moment, activate Counter Trap: ‘Hell’s Cold Shot!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, You Xuan snapped his fingers and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a non-battle damage effect activates, ‘Hell’s Cold Shot’ can redirect the damage you would take to your opponent instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now, instead of both of us taking 2200 damage from Sky Sage—Minerva’s ATK, you take 4400.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor: “Ughhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Victor, LP 6800 → LP 2400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor’s D-Ride surged out of the flames, teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even so, this much damage—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, his teammate Lina cried out: “No—his target wasn’t just the damage itself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the final turn of this duel. Let the audience see the Wangpai  of this ‘Counter Angel.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor’s heart skipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangpai ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he mean a power surpassing everything that’s appeared so far?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, since I just activated a Counter Trap, thanks to the effects of ‘Abundant Artemis’ and ‘Motius,’ I draw one card and recover 1000 Life Points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, when this card is activated by a successful Counter Trap, I can Special Summon it by tributing all monsters on my field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Descend—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Decree-Bringer, Voltenis!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Decree-Bringer, Voltenis, ATK 2800】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Special Summoned this way, I can destroy up to as many cards on your field as the number of Angel monsters I tributed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor: “!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number of tributed Angels…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abundant Artemis and Sky Sage Motius—two Angels tributed total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct,” You Xuan said coolly. “Therefore, I destroy your ‘Psychic Realm Demon’ and all face-down cards in your back row!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic Realm Demon can only negate Spell\u002FTrap effects targeting Psychic monsters—it’s powerless against monster effects. And Decree-Bringer’s effect doesn’t target at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total annihilation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything on the field vanished.
