Chapter 1060 - 1033: Preparation Complete
"Sin: Rainbow Dragon! Attack ’Power Executor Mars’!"
Paradox shouted loudly.
He had long been dissatisfied with this Deputy. Just now, its suppression through the blood gap caused him some embarrassment. Now that the tables have turned, Paradox rose up decisively, targeting this angel first.
Yugen didn’t make any defensive move, letting Rainbow Dragon’s rainbow light spew out and engulf the Deputy Angel on the field. Under skill extraction, the angel who had completely lost its power could only helplessly watch as the seven-colored rainbow light bombarded it, grinding it into dust.
[Yugen, LP14900→ LP10900]
The instant four thousand damage, and with Celestial Sanctuary overwhelmed by the Sin World field, unable to withstand battle damage anymore. After Rainbow Dragon shattered the angel’s body, it was like a direct attack on Yugen with hardly any loss.
Yugen’s steps slipped back under the impact, his vest smashing into the boundary at the edge of the Sin World. Transparent ripples and black lightning exploded at the point of contact with the barrier, accompanied by a burst of electric light and shock.
Having succeeded with one strike, Paradox couldn’t help but laugh with pride: "How about it?"
Yugen patted the dust off his body and chuckled.
"Not bad."
Paradox’s expression stiffened.
Dealing four thousand damage and it’s just considered ’not bad’... but on second thought, looking at this guy’s still more than ten thousand HP bar, perhaps it’s not an exaggeration.
Paradox felt dissatisfied, snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Then I’ll see how long you can keep up the act."
He waved again.
"Next, ’Sin: True Red-Eyed Black Dragon’, attack ’Cotton Candy’!"
The dark flames rose from the ground all around, streams of black flames converging and pouring into Sin: True Red-Eyed Black Dragon’s mouth. A dark magma glint flashed in the black dragon’s eyes as a black flame bullet was fired straight at Cotton Candy.
Cotton Candy looked at Yugen helplessly: "Skill Extraction, I’m not acting, this time I truly can’t do anything..."
"No worries," Yugen smiled, "You can go down to rest now."
Cotton Candy: "Then I’ll be off..."
Boom—
The black flame bullet exploded, annihilating Cotton Candy in a transparent impact, scattering it out of existence.
Under Skill Extraction, Cotton Candy also became blank, her small frame unable to withstand the black flame bullet’s impact, being blasted to pieces on the spot.
"And then there’s ’Sin: Blue-Eyes White Dragon’!" Paradox said, "Attack ’Great Angel Christina’!"
Blue-Eyes let out a roar piercing through the heavens and earth, annihilating white light pouring from its mouth as if tearing through space, right into the chest of the Great Angel.
But this time, although the Great Angel was staggered, he still stood firm, seemingly covered by a semi-transparent gold light on his body. The annihilating white light washed over the Great Angel but didn’t move him an inch.
Paradox: "What?"
Yugen pointed to the backfield: "Trap Card ’Attack Invincibility’."
You can choose to make all battle damage become 0 for one turn, or make one monster immune to battle destruction for this turn.
I choose to protect ’Great Angel Christina’ from battle destruction."
Paradox gritted his teeth, knitting his brows.
Obviously, with an abundance of life points now, Yugen thought it more worthwhile to save the Great Angel rather than worry about some life points.
Great Angel Christina was quite a formidable monster even in the champion deck "Deputy Angels" back then. The meta had reached the late Synchro Era, filled with decks that performed numerous special summons and could spend five minutes storytelling against a wall in a single turn.
A single Great Angel standing there, many mainstream decks might be rendered mute. Without special summons, even a monster with attack power over two thousand might be hard to bring out.
Paradox could already feel the pressure from the Great Angel now. Even though Skill Extraction had temporarily sealed Christina’s abilities, having it on the field was stressful enough for him.
"However, the battle damage still needs to be calculated." Paradox mumbled.
[Yugen, LP10900→ LP10700]
Damage so minor it’s almost the literal definition of scraping.
"Next, I activate the Magic Card ’Temporary Truce’," Paradox said, "Both draw one card from their decks, and until the end of the next turn, all battle damage becomes 0."
Yugen drew a card as a thin gold barrier separated both sides, rendering mutual harm temporarily impossible.
Yugen jokingly said: "With Rainbow Dragon, Blue-Eyes, and True Red Eye all on the field, you’re still afraid I’ll take you out immediately?"
Paradox remained silent.
Though it was trash talk, for some reason he really was a bit apprehensive. This guy in front of him, perhaps could really knock him out next turn even with this lineup.
Better to play it safe.
"...Set a card facedown, turn ends," Paradox said.
Yugen: "Then it’s my turn, draw."
"I activate the Magic Card ’Angel’s Charity’. Draw three cards from the deck and then discard two cards from hand."
After changing his hand cards, Yugen squinted slightly, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Looks like your luck isn’t particularly good."
Paradox’s heart skipped a beat.
What new trick is he thinking up to torture me?
"The effect of ’Angel O1’ in my hand," Yugen said, "Angel O1 can be special summoned to the field by revealing a level 7 or higher monster from hand to the opponent."
He drew out another card from his hand and revealed it.
"I reveal the level 8 Angel Race ’Gorgeous Venus’, then special summon ’Angel O1’!"
A cute little angel, short arms and legs, even its wings are a tiny pair, with a shiny golden halo atop its forehead, flapping gently as it hovered in the air.
[Angel O1, Attack Power 200]
Yugen said: "Skill Extraction can nullify all monster effects on the field, but it can’t reach those in the hand."
Paradox remained silent, but he was a little concerned about the monster Yugen had just revealed.
Gorgeous Venus, the Angel Race planet in the Planet Series...
For some reason, he suddenly sensed that this thing might be putting him in a lousy situation next.
"Continuous Magic ’Celestial Court’s effect. Once per turn, if you have a 1-star angel on the field, you can special summon any Angel Race card from your hand to the field."
Yugen raised his right hand.
"I directly special summon the card I just revealed, descend! Planet Series—
—Gorgeous Venus!!!"
True to its name, an exceedingly gorgeous angel with four snow-white wings behind it. The sacred body appeared as if crafted from gold, wrapped in a faint layer of golden radiance.
[Gorgeous Venus, Attack Power 2800]
"Celestial Court’s mission is complete," Yugen said, "Next, I activate the Magic Card ’Magic Flowerpot’, send the Continuous Magic to the graveyard, drawing two cards from the deck."
Send Celestial Court to the graveyard, drawing two cards."
Yugen drew two cards, smiled, and said.
"Now that preparations are more or less complete, it’s time to get down to business."
