Soul Energy MAX!
Obelisk was angry.
As if sensing the huge yet disgusting Orichalcos power emanating from Alister, Obelisk was unabashedly conveying to Yuei Vu the urge to beat that guy up.
Well, combined with what happened before, this seemed to be a matter of course.
Obelisk was staying well in the hands of the Pharaoh, but suddenly a group of unreasonable guys rushed up and snatched it away without even playing cards.
Not only did they rob his main body, but those guys who called themselves Doma also dared to use the evil power called "Orichalcos" to control him recklessly.
A green magic circle was installed on the head of the giant god, and even a continuous stream of strange things poured into his body involuntarily, forcing his body to become disobedient, and even for a time he had to throw his fist at the Pharaoh whom he was supposed to be loyal to.
This God of Destruction originally had a violent temper. After such a toss, one could imagine how angry he must be.
In fact, being liberated by Yuei Vu from the shackles of Orichalcos, this Egyptian God must also be grateful in his heart.
It was precise because of this that at this moment, the Egyptian God decided to make an exception and allow the passer-by with Yu prefix, who temporarily held him, to gain the power to control the god.
Yuei Vu could feel the power pouring into his body continuously, even his blood seemed to be boiling. An impulse seemed to rush to his forehead along with the blood, making him feel omnipotent (referring to playing cards)
At the same moment, a brand new button that has never been seen before was added under the option of "Draw of Fate" in the skill bar.
[Duel Skill: God's Anger]
[Skill description: This skill can only be unlocked by obtaining the approval of "Obelisk the Tormentor". It can only be activated if your LP is below 1000. During your Draw Phase, instead of conducting your normal draw, add 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor" (original) from outside the deck to the hand.]
Yuei Vu's eyes lit up.
Duel Skill!
Yes, in addition to the "Destiny Draw" common to all players, there were other skills in this game.
It's just that things like skills have always been extremely rare. Having played so many versions of World Link Online in his previous life, Yuei Vu has only heard of so few well-known players who have acquired additional skills.
In fact, although skills were not explicitly stated in the animation, they have always been part of Yu-Gi-Oh's works.
For example, in the DM finale, Yami Yugi has recovered his memory and true name. After his strength was fully unlocked, he has the ability to "draw any card he wanted", which was equivalent to a very advanced skill.
The protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Yusei Fudo, could also use a Duel Skill under certain circumstances. From the performance, that skill's effect must be "When the complete mark of the Crimson Dragon appears on your back, add 1 'Majestic Dragon' to your hand instead of conducting your normal draw during your Draw Phase."
It became more obvious from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. The protagonist Yuma Tsukumo and his spirit partner Astral, halfway through the anime, could even merge into one being called ZEXAL, and then directly activated the skill "Shining Draw" to create cards that did not exist in the world…
From the perspective of playing cards in reality, this should of course be regarded as cheating, but in the world view of animation, things like "skills" were actually part of the system and are recognized as legal.
Not everyone had the strength to exert power beyond common sense in a duel, and only those with sufficient strength could breed corresponding skills. It was also because of this that skills were so rare.
Yuei Vu checked his situation on the field, then checked the GY area, closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and soon formed a straight path leading to victory in his mind.
Alister sneered: "What? Do you want to give up? Even if you want to give up now, it's too late. There is no way to defeat the Air Fortress Ziggurat! Even if you die, your soul is Orichalcos' forever! "
Yuei Vu opened his eyes again, and his eyes were full of confidence.
The Winning Formula is complete!
Duel Skill: God's Anger, activated!
The moment Yuei Vu drew out the next card, he could feel the "force" in his whole body swell to the extreme. The holy and dazzling blue light seemed to be released from the card he drew out at that moment, covering the audience with invisible coercion.
Alister's face changed suddenly, with a look of surprise and uncertainty: "What… what? What is that? Is it an illusion?"
On the side, Kaiba, who was the former owner of Obelisk, also sensed something and his eyelids twitched: "This kind of agitation, could it be…!?"
"I activate the effect of 'Destiny HERO Malicious' in the graveyard!" Yuei Vu shouted, "banish this card from my GY; Special Summon 1 monster with the same name from my Deck!
Special Summon 'Destiny HERO Malicious' No.2! "
The GY area of the duel disk was lit with golden light, then a card popped out, and was put into the card box behind Yuei Vu. Another golden light flew out of his deck and transformed into a second devil-like hero with the word "D" printed on his chest.
[Destiny HERO Malicious, DEF 800]
In this way, there were three heroes on Yuei Vu's field: Blazeman, Shadow Mist and Malicious.
Alister, who was vaguely aware of something, swallowed: "Is it discarded through the first 'Card Destruction'? In this way, there will be three monsters. Could it be…"
"Exactly!"
Yuei Vu held up the card he had just drawn in his hand. The card surface of the card was dark blue and eye-catching, completely different from any other card.
"Use 'Elemental HERO Blazeman', 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist', and 'Elemental HERO Malicious' as sacrifices!
The scorching wind blew the earth wildly, suppressing all things with absolute divine power! Come down—
——God of Destruction, Obelisk the Tormentor! "
A dense black cloud appeared above the building, and thunderbolts churned within it. The scorching wind started blowing from nowhere, sweeping across the entire building, as if a terrifying existence beyond the laws of reality was slowly approaching from an unknown space.
A beam of light blasted down from the pitch-black clouds, almost falling to the ground near the edge of the building. The scarlet eyes lit up, and the blue giant descended from outside the building, standing upright. His eyes were full of anger and stared at the air fortress flying in mid-air.
…That body shape, that sense of sight, felt like Ultraman descending in front of a small monster.
[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]
Yuei Vu: In the animation, the protagonist group played cards with the Three Swordsmen of Doma, and printed a "Legendary Dragon" on the spot, which was not in the deck at all. Then I played a pure HERO deck, and now I printed a "Tormentor HERO Obelisk", no one should have any objections to this, right? Okay, I accept your silence as consent.
This one was not a nefted real-life version, but a real god of destruction with complete Egyptian God power.
In fact, Yuei Vu only put a real Obelisk the Tormentor in the deck to increase his Rank. The original Obelisk the Tormentor he snatched from Doma has been stored in the card box.
But it didn't matter. After all, they were Egyptian Gods, and even the mere Legendary Dragons could jump into their decks when duelists want them, so of course, this was a small case for Egyptian Gods.
This wave was comparable to the floor printing card technique of President Kaiba.
Alister was a little stunned. The pressure of facing an Egyptian God and bearing the wrath of the god made him feel suffocated, and even just standing up felt that his body was a hundred times heavier.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Uh, Obelisk…is he actually called out in this situation?"
Kaiba couldn't help but also smiled, with an expression of "as expected of a man who was once above me".
"Then when the 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist' was sent to the GY, another effect of her was also activated." Yuei Vu said, "I can add 1 'HERO' monster from my Deck to my hand, except 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist'."
Yuei Vu opened the deck and found the hero he wanted.
"I added 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman' to my hand."
Alister watched Yuei Vu shuffling cards leisurely on the opposite side, and couldn't help gritting his teeth: "But even gods are useless here. As long as there are 'Robot Tokens' present, even gods can only attack those tokens.
And then I still have this card… Open the set card! Trap Card – Waboku! "
Three nun-like envoys appeared around Alister, with their eyes slightly closed, holding amulets and singing in a low voice. The transparent shield protected Alister and the entire field he was in.
Protected by this layer of shield, Alister suddenly felt the pressure relieved, took a long breath, and said with a sneer: "Waboku's effect – During this turn, my monsters will not be destroyed by battle, and I take no battle damage!
Not even Obelisk can break through this line of defense…"
"Is that true?" Yuei Vu asked back.
"What?" Alister frowned, beginning to realize that something was wrong.
However, "Waboku" was recognized as one of the trap cards with the strongest defensive performance, and had the ability to make players almost invincible within one turn. After this card was activated, at least for this round he must be safe.
In this situation, how can he still OTK me?
That's the truth, but for some reason, Alister just couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart.
He had the illusion that someone whispered "you are already dead".
"I activate the effect of the second 'Destiny HERO Malicious' who was sent to the GY as a Tribute!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, and a golden light flashed in the GY again.
"I banish the second 'Destiny HERO Malicious' from the game, and special summon a card with the same name from the deck!" Yuei Vu said, "Come on, 'Destiny HERO Malicious' No.3!"
He put away the second Malicious that popped up from the cemetery, a golden light flew out of the deck, and the third Malicious squatted and landed on the field in front of Yuei Vu.
[Destiny HERO Malicious, DEF 800]
Alister was still stubborn: "Even if you summon more miscellaneous fish monsters…"
"I set a card from my hand onto the field."
Yuei Vu set the Polymerization that was added to his hand through the effect of Blazeman last turn.
"In this way, there is only one card left in my hand." Yuei Vu turned over the card that had just been added to the hand through the effect of the Shadow Mist, "Elemental HERO Bubbleman's effect – If this is the only card in my hand, I can Special Summon it from the hand.
The hero in the blue armor let out a shout and came to the field with a handsome aiming pose.
[Elemental Hero Bubbleman, ATK 800]
Alister gritted his teeth: "I already said, no matter how many miscellaneous fish monsters there are…"
But Kaiba's expression suddenly changed: "Yuei Vu, do you want to…"
"'Waboku' is indeed a powerful defensive trap, but it is not completely invincible." Yuei Vu said slowly.
Alister frowned: "What?"
"It can only defend against attacks. But at this moment, I want to activate the God of Destruction's effect!"
Yuei Vu raised his hand and said.
"I use 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman' and 'Destiny HERO Malicious' as sacrifices, and Obelisk's special ability is activated!"
Alister's face changed suddenly: "That's right! God's ultimate ability is…"
At this moment, Obelisk stretched out his hands from outside the building, reached into the duel field, and grabbed Bubbleman and Malicious respectively. The two heroes turned into pure energy, continuously pouring into the blue giant's body.
"By using two monsters on the field as a sacrifice," Yuei Vu said, "Destroy all monsters on the opponent's field! Deal 4000 points of damage to the opposing player!"
Alister was already stunned. He looked at the furious god and felt that the storm that had already transformed from a three-dimensional image into a solid object was raging in space, as if it was about to swallow up the world, and he couldn't help but be stunned in a daze.
"Could it be that Doma's path…, no, the path I chose is really wrong…"
He raised his head subconsciously, looking at the huge magic sky fortress floating outside the window, the monster born from the pain in his heart.
Suddenly, he seemed to see his brother who passed away many years ago through the monster.
"Miruko…"
"Alister!"
Mokuba, who was outside the barrier, couldn't help but make a sound.
Alister turned his head and looked at Mokuba.
His vision suddenly blurred. For a moment, he seemed to see the image of his younger brother Miruko overlapping with Mokuba.
…they're too much alike.
In fact, maybe, in fact, he was also very similar to Seto Kaiba, but he has always refused to admit it.
Maybe they really are the same kind of people.
It's just that Kaiba chose to stand up when facing an unfair fate, choked fate's throat with his own hands, and climbed to where he was today step by step by any means.
Because no matter what the past looked like, Kaiba was always able to look ahead.
And him?
He has never been able to get out of the shadow of losing his family all his life. Perhaps, as Yuei Vu said, he was just looking for an outlet to vent his anger.
From this point of view, he may indeed have lost…
"Obelisk, finish him!" Yuei Vu gave the final order, "Soul Energy MAX!"
The blue giant swung his fist, and the burst of divine power stirred the space, as if to say that all the holy spirits were burned into corpses, and at the same time, it contained a super high damage of 4000 points according to the game rules.
The blue shock wave engulfed everything in the field, and the Robot Token was crushed to pieces powerlessly in it. The sacred protective shield was blasted into pieces, and the prayers of the three nuns were finally defeated by the wrath of the God of Destruction and dissipated there.
The divine fist pierced through the outer shell of Air Fortress Ziggurat, and the blue beam pierced it from front to back. The huge fortress screamed, and the flames that erupted gradually engulfed it, and exploded into dazzling fireworks in mid-air.
Alister closed his eyes calmly, feeling the power of the God of Destruction rushing towards him.
He felt that his life had never been so peaceful since the loss of his brother.
That's it.
Father, mother, Miruko…
...I'm coming home.
