Chapter 982: Divine Descent!
“Forest Warden · Green Baboon, summon!”
From the vortex of starlight, tangled vines erupted. With a deafening roar, the Forest Warden · Green Baboon burst through the moss-covered barrier, shedding countless glowing spores from its emerald fur; each step it took caused thorny vines to burst forth from the ground.
【You Xuan, lp4000→lp3000】
【Forest Warden · Green Baboon, ATK 2600】
Dragun: “Using a low-tier self-destruct to quickly summon a powerful upper-tier beast card?”
Believing he had deciphered his opponent’s deck construction, Dragun chuckled lightly: “A decent choice—but such power is far from worthy of standing against a god.”
“Just watch.”
You Xuan smiled and waved his hand again.
“Go, ‘Forest Warden · Green Baboon,’ attack ‘Extreme Star Beast · Tengrisnil!’”
The furry green baboon roared, pounded its chest, then surged forward in an instant, slamming its fist—large as a sandbag—straight into the goat-like Extreme Star Beast’s forehead.
“I was waiting for this!” Dragun said. “Activate my face-down card: Trap Card ‘Extreme Star Gem—Brygja Mann!’”
“Select one monster face-up on your field and one on your opponent’s field. Until the end of this turn, the ATK of your monster becomes equal to the original ATK of your opponent’s selected monster!”
At the very moment the green baboon leapt, Dragun’s trap flipped over. Crimson fire snakes erupted from the card, engulfing the targeted goat. Within the blazing flames, the tongues twisted unnaturally, mirroring the exact form of the green baboon.
Every hair of the flame baboon was composed of flickering flames; its original emerald sclera had turned molten orange-red. The two titans faced each other across a wall of fire, each step the flame replica took scorching black claw marks into the ground, warping the air between them with heat-induced mirages.
“Oh? This trap, then.” You Xuan understood.
【Extreme Star Beast · Tengrisnil, ATK 1200→ATK 2600】
“And more!” Dragun barked. “Any monster affected by ‘Extreme Star Gem—Brygja Mann’ that destroys an opponent’s monster in battle inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster’s ATK!”
The audience erupted in commotion; the spiky-haired commentator added: “Oh! Brilliant counter! Not only does it reverse the attack, but if successful, it deals You Xuan 2600 points of damage—reducing his LP to just 400!”
“No wonder the Ragnarok Team—could Dragun, their first-round player, really defeat You Xuan, the player who just achieved a three-win streak?”
You Xuan: “Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell ‘Charge.’”
“Increase the ATK of one monster on the field by 700 points until the end of this turn.”
Dragun frowned: “What?”
“Green Baboon’s ATK increases by another 700.”
【Forest Warden · Green Baboon, ATK 2600→ATK 3300】
Empowered, the green baboon roared wildly and struck out. The flame illusion shattered instantly under the blow, dissolving into sparks.
【Dragun, lp4000→lp3300】
“You managed to match my trap and counter it—impressive. But the duel still follows my rhythm!”
“Extreme Star Beast · Tengrisnil, activate its effect!”
“When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, special summon two ‘Extreme Star Token’ monsters on your field!”
The destroyed goat did not vanish entirely—its wool remained, transforming into two fluffy cotton-ball-like masses. These white tufts reshaped themselves into two tokens on the field. 【Extreme Star Token, DEF 0】x2
Clearly, he was preparing to summon the Supreme God.
You Xuan smiled faintly, unconcerned, and waved his hand lightly.
“I set two cards face-down. End my turn.”
After finishing his actions, he looked up and smiled: “It’s about time to call forth the god, isn’t it?”
“Oh? You realize this and still stay so calm?” Dragun laughed.
You Xuan said: “Naturally. I’m eager to witness the true glory of the Norse Supreme God myself. Isn’t it only natural for a duelist to look forward to seeing a legendary monster?”
Dragun laughed heartily: “Very well. As you wish.”
“My turn, draw!”
“First, activate Spell Card ‘Hand Destruction.’ Both players discard their entire hands, then draw the same number of cards from their decks.”
After exchanging hands and drawing new cards, Dragun’s eyes gleamed sharply—one of them flickered with ancient runes: the Runic Eye had activated.
His teammates outside the field also sensed the surge of power. Harald smiled: “That guy Dragun—he must’ve drawn it. The god’s probably descending this turn.”
“Here it comes!” Dragun declared. “I summon the Tuner monster ‘Extreme Star Beast · Gullfaxi!’”
The summoned creature was the golden steed of Norse myth—but now entirely black, save for its golden tail and mane. It was the mount of Manni, son of Thor.
【Extreme Star Beast · Gullfaxi, ATK 1600】
“Level four Tuner monster ‘Extreme Star Beast · Gullfaxi!’”
“Two Level three ‘Extreme Star Tokens!’”
“Tuning!”
【4+3+3＝10】
When the Gate of the Starry Realm opens, the ancient war god raises his demonic hammer. Appear before us, shaking the earth with thunderous roars! Synchro Summon! Descend, Supreme God King · Thor!
Beyond the racing track, the sea wall parted like a crystal curtain torn by an invisible hand. The waters split cleanly, as if Moses had cleaved the Red Sea. Beneath the seabed lay not sand or mud, but a swirling starry dome etched with Runic runes. A synchronized column of ancient frost-light erupted from the ocean, tearing the night clouds into a ring of thunderous vortices.
First piercing the light was the legendary hammer—Mjölnir, the Thunder God’s Hammer. Its massive head emitted blue-white plasma, etching scorch marks across the sky. Thor’s eyes opened hundreds of meters above, his bronze muscles flowing with liquid lightning, his cloak billowing like storm clouds blotting out the sun.
Divine Descent!
Unlike reality, the three Supreme Gods in the card game had been dumbed down to the point of being shaved bald—not only were their effects weakened, but they were recast as “Light Attribute,” “Angel Type,” stripping them of all divine dignity.
But in the original work, the three Supreme Gods were true gods—Divine Attribute, Phantom Beast Type—equal in status to the Three Phantom Gods.
【Supreme God King · Thor, ATK 3500】
The true divine aura and overwhelming presence crashed upon every spectator and commentator, crushing the breath from their lungs. Even the professional spiky-haired commentator began stammering: “I-it’s here! This is the god held by the Ragnarok Team—what terrifying presence! Is this even a monster?”
“Of course it’s not a monster—it’s a god!”
Dragun beamed with pride.
Face my god, Fujiki Yūgen!
