Chapter 1055 - 1028: Sin’s Weakness
"You are a Duelist who should not exist, Fujiki Yugen."
Paradox said coldly.
"History is in chaos, and I am not yet sure if you are one of the sources of that chaos or if you are the culprit behind it. But what is certain is that your existence definitely brings this world closer to ruin."
Yugen frowned.
He said he was a Duelist who shouldn’t exist, and Yugen secretly had a guess. Perhaps it was because he was a Transmigrator.
Although Fujiki Yugen originally existed in this world, without his transmigration, following the original trajectory, he would most likely have lived an unremarkable life, leaving little trace in history.
His transmigration changed Fujiki Yugen’s original life trajectory and altered the history of Duel Monsters.
Thinking about it a bit, this was also to be expected. After all, Yugen was not just a great card player, he was a Duel King; he developed countless card decks and unearthed the potential of various Monsters and card decks. Everything he did was enough to skew the direction of Duel Monsters’ history, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he defined a new direction in history.
"In any case, your importance is no less than that of the Father of Duel Monsters, Beckas."
Paradox looked at the device on his wrist again and said.
"Although I don’t know what role you’ve played in the chaos of history, you must be eliminated."
Yugen was aware of this person’s background, and his mind was slightly at ease. But Keihei on the other side seemed as if he was listening to a foreign language, scratching his head and saying: "What has this person been talking about until just now?"
But in any case, the duel needs to be won first.
Yugen said, "My turn, draw a card."
After drawing the card, he paused slightly, then looked around this illusory Sin Field and smiled mysteriously.
For some reason, Paradox felt an inexplicable sense of danger from this person’s smile.
Yugen said, "The Sin Card Deck, which combines the most powerful Elves across multiple timelines, is indeed extraordinary. However, I happen to have some say in the manipulation of Elves and the development of card decks.
Your card deck seems to take a route of violent binding, forcibly kidnapping these Elves from different times for your use, right?"
He had seen similar practices before. For example, the designer Franz who collaborated with the International Fantasy Association in developing the Winged Divine Dragon card deck originally conceived a Field designed to bind gods, the "God-Binding Tomb."
For the Sin Card Deck, Sin World is Paradox’s God-Binding Tomb.
Paradox snorted coldly, "So what if it is?"
"If so, it means that once the Field binding is lost, your Elves will immediately go out of control. Could there be a more obvious weakness?"
Yugen smiled, shook the card in his hand, and said seriously.
"Field Spell—
—Celestial Sanctuary!"
Paradox: "!!!"
Damn!
In an instant, a dazzling white light descended in the field, like the halo of an Angel. White mist rose, surrounding a snow-white Palace bathed in Holy Light, like a celestial realm.
A special Field for the Angel Race, representing a sacred Heaven in card stories, in opposition to the Demonic world of the "Demon Hall."
Of course, this card itself was not the reason for Paradox’s heart to stop briefly.
Because under the current Duel rules, only one Field Spell can exist on each side of the field at the same time. A new Field activation means the old Field must be destroyed.
Therefore, with the activation of Celestial Sanctuary, his Sin World was destroyed by the rules!
As expected, in the next moment, the polluted-looking black parts of Sin: Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the Field’s destruction, quickly reverting to their original Elven form. White Dragon and Termination Dragon let out furious roars, followed by explosive sounds that shattered into fragments.
"I see!" Keihei realized, "This guy may be able to summon all kinds of powerful Elves, but it’s through the binding of that Sin Field. Once the Field disappears, they’ll be destroyed instantly..."
This is also different from physical cards. With physical cards, as long as there is a Field Spell, Sin Monsters can exist. So even if you push out Sin World with a new Field in physical cards, Sin Monsters won’t self-destruct.
But the animation is different. In the animation, Sin Monsters have abilities that are stronger than physical cards in all aspects, but the price is that they must depend on Sin World to exist. Without Sin World, all Sin Monsters on the field will immediately self-destruct.
"No wonder Yugen is both a Duel King and the world’s strongest card designer!"
Once again, Keihei was awestruck and prostrated himself in admiration.
"He saw through the design pattern of the opponent’s card deck at a glance just by understanding card theory, deducing that the opponent’s Field is their weak point..."
Yugen’s strength is not only his skill as a Duelist but also his knowledge of card design and the basic theories of Duel Monsters! Of course, Keihei didn’t know that it wasn’t that mysterious; Yugen knew because he had read the original story, so he knew the weaknesses even in card decks from the future.
"Damn it..."
As the smoke cleared, Paradox’s face was gloomy. He saw that the White Dragon on his field had indeed disappeared due to the explosion, but the Electronic Ultimate Dragon stubbornly remained.
"Continuous Trap ’Dimension Guardian’." Paradox said with a sullen face, "This card allows one of my Monsters on the field to be neither destroyed by battle nor card effects.
Use ’Dimension Guardian’ to protect Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon from being destroyed by its own effect."
"Oh, at least you barely managed to keep one Monster on the field." Yugen said, "Although it’s just one, it’s a Termination Dragon with 4000 Attack Power; that’s troublesome.
Let me think about it..."
He leisurely drew another card from his hand.
"Then let’s try this strategy first...
Activate Continuous Magic ’Spring of the Sky’!"
A fountain rose in the mist-enshrouded Sanctuary, spraying out green water like a fountain.
"Summon ’Radiant Angel’ in Attack Mode!"
Bathed in Holy Light, an Angel with a halo floated onto the field, flapping its pristine white wings, appearing perfectly natural in this Sanctuary field.
[Radiant Angel, Attack Power 1400]
"Battle." Yugen said, "Radiant Angel, attack Sin: Electronic Ultimate Dragon!"
Paradox: "!?"
Challenging my Termination Dragon with a mere 1400 Attack Power pawn?
What’s this guy thinking?
Paradox gritted his teeth, but said, "Then strike back at me!
Sin: Eternal Evolutionary Shockwave!"
The Electronic Ultimate Dragon spat a blaze, the shockwave wrapped in black Lightning evaporating the Radiant Angel. No surprises, no changes occurred; the shockwave from the Termination Dragon easily shattered the Radiant Angel.
Paradox became more and more puzzled.
No reversal? Just fodder?
