Chapter 1104 - 1077: Psychic Demon
"Sin: Blue-Eyes White Dragon’s attack!"
The dominant destructive white light poured out of the White Dragon’s mouth, and at that moment, Diwein felt as if he was about to be blown away by the wind pressure. He staggered back a half-step, barely stabilizing himself, and shouted against the force.
"Activate ’Celestial Eye’s’ monster effect!
When this card is selected as an attack target, pay 800 life points to negate the attack of that monster!"
The telekinesis monster, like a juggling clown, stood in front of Blue-Eyes with its small frame, quickly alternating its hands to toss telekinetic objects. A golden light formed a vortex-like barrier in front of it, fiercely brushed by the destructive white light, yet the tiny monster stubbornly withstood it.
[Diwein, LP4000→ LP3200]
The attack was ineffective, but at least with every attack, eight life points could be reduced. Hence Yugen didn’t waste the opportunity and continued to declare, "Then, Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon also attacks ’Celestial Eye’."
All three mouths of the Electronic Ultimate Dragon opened simultaneously, and a roar like a turbine engine erupted from its fortress-like steel body. Electric light accompanied by dazzling flames turned into cannon blasts ejected from Cyber Dragon, resembling a volcanic eruption.
Sin: Eternal Evolutionary Shockwave!
"Then once again activate ’Celestial Eye’s’ monster effect!"
Diwein blocked with one arm in front of him, almost unable to look directly at the monster bringing immense pressure, and shouted.
"Pay 800 life points to once again negate the attack directed at Celestial Eye!"
[Diwein, LP3200→ LP2400]
The reliable Celestial Eye once more released a defensive barrier, and the evolutionary shockwave brushed against the barrier. Although it was blocked, the impact’s aftershock involuntarily forced Diwein to retreat, feeling an indescribable oppression from the monster and the duelist opposite him.
Looking at the placid officer across from him, Diwein was utterly convinced.
This was undoubtedly the most dangerous battle he had ever encountered, the most terrifying opponent, second to none!
"That thing’s defense is quite formidable," Yugen chuckled.
Celestial Eye’s attack nullification ability wasn’t limited to once per turn, indeed providing a decent defense for telekinesis monsters.
"And activate the Cover Card!" Diwein panted, "Trap Card ’Sacrificial Treasure Scroll.’ When the opponent’s lowest attack power monster combined with your monsters’ attack power is higher, draw two cards from the deck!"
Diwein drew two cards.
Yugen: "Then I’ll set two cards face down, ending the turn."
From a real competitive player’s perspective, the Sin Card Deck definitely isn’t considered a powerful deck, not even reaching the competitive threshold. Although it seems like high-attack big monsters can jump out like cabbages, its weaknesses and limitations are apparent.
Besides their high attack and easy summoning, these big monsters have no other merits, offering no resistance to interrupt the opponent’s actions, and lacking self-defense, easily falling to traps or removal effects.
Moreover, putting aside these points, they have the biggest flaw in "Sin World." Once the field disappears, all Sin Monsters self-destruct.
However, in the animation environment where big monster battles are favored, the Sin Card Deck still offers nearly dimension-reducing dominance over ordinary duelists. Especially as the entirety of Sin Card Deck’s monsters were top-tier champions collected by Paradox from different dimensions and timelines, their pressure on duelists and augmented force is hard for regular duelists to bear.
Diwein was facing precisely this situation.
"Don’t underestimate me!" Diwein shouted, "My turn, draw card!
I normally summon ’Spiritual Protector’!"
A telekinesis monster looking somewhat dim-witted was summoned to the field, with electric currents transmitting from its forehead to its hand, manifesting a transparent shield.
[Spiritual Protector, Defense Power 2200]
"Then activate Speed Attack Magic ’Emergency Instant Movement’ from the hand!
This card allows special summoning of a Level 3 or lower Telekinesis Race monster from the hand or deck, although the specially summoned monster must be removed from the game at the end of the turn!"
Yugen stroked his chin: "Emergency Instant Movement, huh."
He’d almost forgotten this card was Diwein’s after such a long time since watching the 5DS animation. But its performance remains strong, finding a place even in modern Yu-Gi-Oh!
Allowing direct summoning of a telekinesis monster from the deck, precise retrieval with no cost summoning, its strength is undeniable.
Yugen couldn’t help but smile at the thought.
Having originally considered Diwein’s deck a weak one without much value, today’s impressions turned out unexpectedly fruitful.
"Effect of Emergency Instant Movement, special summon the second ’Spiritual Protector’ from the deck!"
A second Protector appeared on the field, similarly offering its palms, releasing an electric barrier that seemed interconnected with the previous Protector’s shield.
[Spiritual Protector, Defense Power 2200]
"Level 2, adjusted monster ’Celestial Eye’!
Two Level Three ’Spiritual Protectors’!
Star-tuning!"
[2+3+3=8]
"Roll on! My vengeful black smoke! Synchro summon—
—Level 8, Spiritual Realm Demon!"
The Star Tuner and other two monsters vanished in synchro starlight, a vortex of dark matter appeared in the center of the dueling field. Skeleton armor wrapped the demon’s body as dark green bone wings emerged from cracks, encircled by golden lightning.
[Spiritual Realm Demon, Attack Power 2700]
"Oh? The ace monster has appeared," Yugen smiled, "Boasting a whopping 2700 attack power, impressive."
Diwein scoffed.
"Don’t get arrogant, Godwin!" Diwein shouted, "Then from the hand, activate Equipment Magic ’Gigantification,’ equipping the ’Spiritual Realm Demon’!
If my life points are lower than the opponent’s, the equipped monster’s attack power doubles!"
At this moment, Diwein’s life points were 2400, lower than Yugen’s. The spiritually-enhanced Spiritual Realm Demon was surrounded by green energy clusters, its size swiftly doubling under the green glow, defiantly roaring at Yugen’s two dragons.
[Spiritual Realm Demon, Attack Power 2700→Attack Power 5400]
"I don’t know how you managed to create such an outrageous deck, but even so, you’re not my match!
Feel my strongest telekinesis with the power of Spiritual Realm Demon!"
Godwin waved a big hand.
"Battle!
Use Spiritual Realm Demon to attack ’Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon’!"
Amplified and empowered, Spiritual Realm Demon suddenly felt capable, its giant claws streaking with electric light, slicing through the light flames spat by the Ultimate Dragon and piercing through its chest, crashing burning to the ground.
[Yugen, LP4000→ LP2600]
"It’s not over yet! Then activate ’Spiritual Realm Demon’s’ monster effect!" Diwein laughed, "Spiritual Realm Demon can absorb the attack power of the destroyed monster and convert it into my life points!
The original attack power of Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon was 4000, all converted into my life points!"
[Diwein, LP2400→ LP6400]
