Chapter 66: Say My Name!
"Have you really made this choice, Hayato? But, I won't let you get your wish!"
Watching [VWXYZ-Shenron Assault Cannon] faithfully execute Hayato's orders and launch a suicidal attack on [Sky Dragon of Osiris] on his field without hesitation, the game also resolutely declared: "Before your battle phase, , I want to activate the effects of the cards in my graveyard!"
"Exclude the [Super Electromagnetic Ghost] in my graveyard and end this battle phase directly!"
Seeing that the attack of [VWXYZ-Dragon Power Cannon] was about to hit [Sky Dragon of Osiris], from the game's graveyard, a bionic turtle made of steel jumped out to block [Sky Dragon of Osiris] before.
Although the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] was destroyed in an instant, the attack of the [VWXYZ-Shenron Power Cannon] was also blocked. Hayato's plan to use it to perish together with the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] came to nothing.
However, Hayato was not surprised to see the appearance of the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle]. Just when Yugi used [Magic Stone Mining] to send the hand cards to the graveyard, he was wondering if one of them would be [Super Electromagnetic Turtle], and it was indeed the case.
Yugi looked at the protected [Sky Dragon of Osiris] and showed a confident smile, but when he just moved his eyes to Hayato, he discovered that the tall [VWXYZ-Shenron Power Cannon] behind Hayato was actually there. Falling apart quickly! ?
Only then did Yugi notice that Hayato had an extra magic card displayed on the field.
"The quick-attack magic card [Mysterious Chinese Pot], anyway, it will be difficult for [VWXYZ-Dragon Power Cannon] to escape the fate of being destroyed by [Sky Dragon] in the next round. I must fry it immediately."
[Hayato: 300→3300LP]
Hayato chained the effect of [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] and activated [Mysterious Chinese Pot] to liberate [VWXYZ-Shenlong Assault Cannon]. This operation made the game really hard to understand.
Even if he recovered 3000 basic points, Hayato also lost the last barrier on his field. Wouldn't he still have to face a direct attack from [Osiris's Sky Dragon] in the next round?
Looking at the confused Yugi, Hayato also smiled: "Yugi, do you know that there is a linkage between the three decks I use [Disruption], [Armed Dragon] and [XYZ] of."
"Not only does [Disruption] link with [Armed Dragon] or [XYZ], [XYZ]'s final form - [VWXYZ-Dragon Power Cannon] also has the ability to link with [Armed Dragon]!"
"The card I'm going to use next has been met by no more than five people, so let's go!"
[VWXYZ-Shenron Assault Cannon] had just been sent to the cemetery by Hayato, and a red and blue light lit up in the cemetery area of the duel disk on Hayato's wrist.
Behind Hayato, the [Armed Dragon LV7] that had appeared before and the [VWXYZ-Shenron Power Cannon] that had just entered the cemetery appeared as phantoms. They all bent sideways and touched each other's hands and fingers, gathering together. It's a huge orange ball of light.
"Only in duels where I special summon both [Armed Dragon LV7] and [VWXYZ-Dragon Power Cannon], I can remove the above cards from my field or graveyard and special summon [Armed Dragon Power Cannon] ]!!"
"Os!"
After the light ball dissipated, Hayato removed two powerful monsters from the cemetery that could be called the end of the series and the monster he summoned revealed his true appearance - [VtoZ] disintegrated and turned into a strong armored [Armed Dragon]. LV7], while using mechanical power to make up for the lack of mobility of [Armed Dragon LV7], it also gained sufficient flexibility with the help of [Armed Dragon LV7].
However, although it is very powerful, because it was summoned in the presence of [Sky Dragon of Osiris], [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] just had time to put on a handsome stance and combine its handsome armor with The giant cannon was displayed, and was blinded by a thunder bomb passively activated by [Sky Dragon of Osiris].
【Armed Dragon Battery Cannon】【10☆/Light】
[Mechanical family/fusion/effect]
【3500/3000→1500/3000】
His handsome appearance was ruined by the [Sky Dragon]. Although the attack power was not as good as the [Sky Dragon], the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] refused to admit defeat and faced the [Sky of Osiris] who looked at it with contempt in the sky. Dragon] glared angrily. If the battle stage had not passed, it might have overestimated its capabilities and launched an attack on [Sky Dragon] whose attack power far exceeded it.
After summoning [Armed Dragon Power Cannon], Yugi noticed that Hayato looked at his hand and hesitated for a moment. After taking a look at [Osiris's Sky Dragon] on his field, he placed three cards on the field. Card, declared: "Covering three cards in my hand, my turn ends."
[Hayato: 3300LP, 3 cards in hand]
【Armed Dragon Assault Cannon】【ATK1500】
【Gate Card】X3
"My turn, draw a card." Yugi pulled out a card from the deck and saw that it was the [Dark Magician Girl] that had been recycled into the deck before.
Because Hayato activated [Mysterious Chinese Pot] last round, his base points returned to 3300 points. Even though the [VWXYZ-Dragon Battery Cannon] with an attack power of 3000 points was replaced with the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] with an attack power of 1500 points, and the attack power of [Sky Dragon of Osiris] was also increased to 4000 points, it is still difficult to Empty Hayato's basic points.
Moreover, Yami Yugi, who usually watched Omo Yugi's duels, would not take the three cards that Hayato had just placed on the backcourt lightly.
Summoning other monsters now will most likely step into the trap set by Hayato. Not only will it fail to reduce Hayato's base points, but it will actually reduce the attack power of [Sky Dragon]. Rather than that, it would be better to use [Sky Dragon of Osiris], which ignores traps, to destroy the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] first.
As for the completely unknown effect of the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon], the game didn't take it to heart. Since Hayato didn't activate its effect immediately after summoning the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon], maybe its effect is very weak?
But what Yugi didn't expect at all was that it wasn't because Hayato didn't want to take the initiative to use the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon], he really couldn't. Because its effect is one of the few among duel monsters that can only be activated during the opponent's turn.
"[Sky Dragon of Osiris], attack [Armed Dragon Strike Cannon]!" Yugi waved his hand and ordered, failing to notice the corners of Hayato's lips raised, "Super Electric Guided Wave Lightning Cannon!"
【Sky Dragon of Osiris】【ATK4000】
The long red dragon opened its bloody mouth, and a beam of lightning instantly formed in its mouth, suddenly turning into a beam of light and attacking Hayato's weakened [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] on the field.
Although he was a little regretful that the game did not summon other monsters or cover two cards, Hayato still ordered: "That's good, go for the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon]!"
"Kill God out!"
"Nani?!"
In Yugi's surprised eyes, the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon], whose attack power was weakened to only 1500 points, was not afraid of the attack from the incoming [Sky Dragon of Osiris] and just raised his hand resolutely. metal barrel and run it at full power.
A beam of orange beam burst out instantly, destroying the "superelectric guided wave lightning cannon" in the blink of an eye, pushing it back in front of the confused [Sky Dragon of Osiris], and directly penetrated its Two mouths.
The [Sky Dragon of Osiris], which has the strongest resistance among duel monsters, was actually killed when it attacked the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] with only 1,500 attack points! ?
"How is that possible?!" Yugi was not the only one who was surprised. In the audience, Kaiba looked even more excited.
In his mind, the God Card can be said to be the strongest power among Duel Monsters, but right in front of his eyes, [Osiris], who was the same three phantom gods as [Obelisk], was actually killed!
"How did that guy Hayato do it?"
What Jonouchi said was the common doubt in everyone's mind at this moment.
And Hayato didn't let them struggle for too long. Facing Yugi's puzzled eyes, Hayato explained: "Indeed, the resistance of the God Card is almost invulnerable to a certain extent."
"Except for the magic cards that are activated in the current turn, the traps against gods are invalid, and the effects of monsters with a level lower than 10☆ are invalid. Even the magic cards that are activated in the current turn and the effects of monsters with a level of 10 or above are invalid, unless they are monster effects with divine attributes. , otherwise it will not be destroyed by the effect, and effects other than destruction can only last for one round."
"But in other words, if there is such a monster with a level of 10☆ or above, and the effect is not destruction, wouldn't it just be able to restrain the resistance of God?" Hayato said, pointing to him on the field. The powerful [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon],
"[Armed Dragon Assault Cannon], because the operation aspect has been given to [Armed Dragon LV7], so [VWXYZ-Shenlong Assault Cannon] can concentrate all the power at one point. But because of this, its startup speed will change. It has to be much slower and cannot be actively used during my turn."
"Once during the opponent's turn, I remove a card from my deck and activate it, removing all cards on the opponent's field and in the graveyard."
After one shot eliminated the superior gods, the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] became more and more rampant. The barrel turned around and aimed at the game's cemetery area and fired another shot. With this shot, all the cards in Yugi's graveyard disappeared without a trace in an instant, including the three knights used by Yugi to summon the gods before, and the [Elf Swordsman who tormented the enemy] who was paddling throughout the process. .
"All my monsters have been eliminated!" Yugi's eyes widened, and he watched with some helplessness as all the cards in his graveyard were removed from the game. "Did [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] actually have such a powerful effect? What a carelessness. Yes."
"Not only that, as long as [Armed Dragon Cannon] exists on the field, the opponent's duelist cannot activate the card effect of the same name of the excluded card on both sides." Hayato added, "In other words, [Treasure Card Falling from the Sky] , [Pot of Greed], [Magic Stone Digging], [Horse Bone Price] and other cards, even if you have a second or third card in your deck, you cannot use them if you draw them."
Although on the surface, the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon]'s elimination effect has a very strong field-clearing ability, Hayato feels that its most powerful feature is actually its ability to eliminate seals. Not to mention anything else, if the player with the [Thunder Dragon], which is the main exception and sent to the grave, faces the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon], he will almost die instantly.
Yugi took two deep breaths before he recovered from the shock of "God was actually 'destroyed' by the effect." He was somewhat lucky. Thanks to the threat of the three cards under Hayato's cover, he didn't summon monsters to cause losses. Now even if the god was repulsed, he still had the power to fight back.
After all, the God Card is just a powerful force in the final analysis. What truly determines the outcome of a duel is the strength of the duelist.
"I usually summon [Demonization-Rizhen], and then activate its effect. This turn, I can perform another high-level summoning of the magician monster. I will release it as a sacrifice, and in attack position, I will high-level summon [Dark Magician Girl]. ]!"
[Dark Magician Girl], who was sent to the graveyard by [Armed Dragon LV10] in the previous duel, returned to the field. After noticing the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] on the opposite side, [Dark Magician Girl] showed her anger. With a bulging expression, he looked at Yugi as if he wanted revenge.
Yugi nodded helplessly to comfort her and said, "Wait a moment, [Dark Magician Girl] will give you a chance for revenge."
"When [Demonization-Rijin] is sent from the field to the graveyard, activate its second effect. From my deck and graveyard, select a magician-type normal monster and add it to my hand. I chose [Dark Magician].”
Retrieve the [Black Magician] card from the deck and add it to your hand, leaving the last three cards in your hand in the game. Because the card of [Fusion] was used before when summoning [Celestial Knight], after it was eliminated by [Armed Dragon Cannon], the ability to use [Fusion] and the card of the same name was sealed in the game, but luckily What's interesting is that his deck has cards with effects similar to [Fusion].
"Activate the magic card [Secret of Black Magic], and send the fusion material containing [Dark Magician] or [Dark Magician Girl] determined by the fusion monster card from my hand and field to the graveyard. I choose The fusion materials are the [Dark Magician Girl] on the field and the [Dark Magician] just added to my hand."
"Fusion Summon, [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple]!"
The card that had not yet been warmed up was sent to the graveyard by the game. A dark purple-red vortex appeared on the game field, and only [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl] were seen under the cover of an extremely perfunctory special effect. Standing together, the integration is complete.
[Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple] [8☆/Dark]
[Magician/Fusion/Effect]
【2800/2300】
Seeing the appearance of [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple], Hayato did not hesitate and directly activated Gaika in his backcourt: "It's so strong, too strong. I activate Gaika [Naraku's Cave]."
"When the opponent summons, reverse summons, or special summons a monster with an attack power of 1500 or more, destroy and eliminate those monsters with an attack power of 1500 or more!"
The bottomless deep cave appeared at the feet of [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple] who had just completed the fusion and was still posing handsomely. However, [Black Mage] reacted quickly. After falling into [Naraku's body] Before falling into the hole, he pushed [Dark Magician Girl] in mid-air, and [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl] landed on both sides of [Naraku's hole], completely unscathed.
However, this is only the scene shown by the virtual projection.
"It turned out to be [Naraku's Cave], I really can wait." Yugi said helplessly, "Although [Super Mage - Black Mage Disciple] was eliminated in the end, there was indeed a process of being destroyed. In it Activate if it is destroyed, and special summon one [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl] each from my graveyard, hand, and deck."
【Dark Magician】【ATK2500】
【Dark Magician Girl】【ATK2000→2300】
Hayato noticed that the [Dark Magician] specially summoned by the game using the effect of [Super Mage - Black Mage's Apprentice] was not the one he sent to the graveyard when he fused and summoned [Super Mage - Black Mage's Apprentice] before. [Dark Magician], and another one was specially summoned from the deck.
Because of this, because there is a [Dark Magician] in the cemetery, the attack power of the [Dark Magician Girl] on the game field has increased by 300 points.
On paper, the combined attack power of [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl] on the game field has reached 4800 points, which is exactly equal to Hayato's base score of 3300 points plus the 1500 points of [Armed Dragon Power Cannon] Attack power. However, the combat phase of this round of the game has passed, so even if he has enough attack power, he cannot destroy the [Armed Dragon Power Cannon].
Covering the last card in your hand on the field, the game declares: "Cover a card, my turn is over."
[Game: 1400LP, 0 cards in hand]
【Dark Magician】【ATK2500】
【Dark Magician Girl】【ATK2300】
【Gaika】
"My turn, draw cards."
After Hayato pulled out a card, he showed a mean smile: "Although [Armed Dragon Cannon] has the effect of sealing a card with the same name as the excluded card, this ability is only for you, the game."
"I activate the magic card [Magic Stone Mining], discard two cards in my hand, and retrieve a magic card from the graveyard." After saying that, Hayato discarded the two cards in his hand and retrieved a magic card from the graveyard. He got the card in his hand and showed it to the game, "The card I recycled is [Restriction Release]."
"Although the main body is [Armed Dragon], the main attack method of [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] is carried out by [VtoZ], so it is classified as a machine type. I activate the equipment magic card [7 Card] to Equip the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] to increase its attack power, and then activate the quick-attack magic card [Restriction Release]!"
The weapons on [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] began to operate at full power, and even began to be overloaded. It even started to emit white smoke due to overheating. [Armed Dragon] felt that the power that had been deprived by the thunder bombs had returned to itself, and could not help but look up to the sky. A long roar:
"Roar!!"
[Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] [ATK1500→2200→4400]
"This is the final blow, Yugi!" Hayato pointed at [Dark Magician Girl] on the game field, "Although it's a pity, my goal is also the Duel King, so let's use this blow to decide the outcome. !”
"[Armed Dragon Battery Cannon], attack [Dark Magician Girl]! Destroy Utopia!"
The push from behind started, and although the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] was tall, it moved at an alarmingly fast speed. In just an instant, it swept over half of the field and attacked [Dark Magician Girl]. [Dark Magician Girl] only had time to cast a magic ball to try to resist, but times have changed after all, and [Dark Magician Girl] was destroyed in an instant and sent to the cemetery.
The game was also knocked back half a step by the aftermath of the attack, and its base score dropped accordingly.
【Game: 1400→5400→3300LP】
Well, it took 2100 points of damage.
Hayato looked at the points dropped by the game's base score and nodded, as he calculated.
Um? !
"At the moment of damage calculation, I activated this card." Yugi was somewhat out of breath because he received 2100 points of damage, but he still had a confident smile on his face, "[Physical Strength Enhancer-Super Z], It can only be activated when I receive more than 2,000 points of combat damage. During that damage calculation, I will recover 4,000 basic points."
"As a fellow duelist, Hayato, I can feel your heart as a duelist who longs for victory, but it's not enough to eliminate me right now. I also have a reason why I must continue to win all the way."
"When it comes to my desire and consciousness for victory, I will not lose to you. I haven't lost yet!"
Seeing the determined expression on Yugi's face, Hayato was stunned, and then he smiled: "Is that so? Sorry, I thought it was too simple. I actually thought that I could easily end my decision with you."
"My turn is over. So, on to the game!"
As Hayato declared the end of the round, the [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] exploded due to overload, and the air waves blew up Hayato's hanging hair. Without a card in his hand, he raised his hand and pushed up his bangs, which were originally hanging low. Her hair stood up like it was covered with hairspray.
[Hayato: 3300LP, 0 cards in hand]
【Gate Card】X2
In the last round, Hayato saw the possibility of victory and put everything on the line. After Yugi successfully resisted the pressure and withstood Hayato's attack, the disadvantage of Hayato's all-out effort became apparent, and only the last two blocks were left on the field. Card, but there is still a [Black Magician] on the game field.
"My turn, draw a card."
After being low for a while, the basic points of both sides returned to the same 3300 points. As a price, both sides' cards in their hands and resources on the field were basically consumed.
The card drawn in the game is [Tornado], which has the simple and crude effect of directly destroying a magic or trap card. But the problem is that Hayato has two cover cards in his backfield, and Yugi can only choose one of them to destroy.
In other words, it’s time to rely on “duelist’s intuition” again.
Yugi thought for a moment, inserted [Tornado] into the magic trap card area of the duel plate, pointed at one of the cover cards on Hayato's field: "Activate the quick attack magic card [Tornado], I choose the one on your right, Hayato. Destroy the card!"
