"Who told you Cyber Emergency can only search for Cyber Dragons? Or maybe you should read the rest of the text carefully," Youye said, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards in a reminder.
"You mean it can add a LIGHT Attribute Machine-Type Monster that cannot be Normal Summoned to your hand?" Luo Hao muttered, frowning. Then, he immediately remembered that most of the Drytron Archetype Cards are LIGHT Attribute Machine-Types that cannot be Normal Summoned. This perfectly fit the conditions of Cyber Emergency.
"Looks like you remembered. The monster I searched for is precisely a Drytron Archetype Monster, Drytron Alpha Thuban!" Seeing his realization, Youye didn't bother with further riddles and spoke.
"As expected of a senior! You've really broadened my horizons. I'm a Cyber Dragon player, and this is the first time I've seen Cyber Emergency used like this." Luo Hao exclaimed with admiration, but a strange look flickered in his eyes.
He admitted that Youye's move was unexpected, but he wasn't flustered. As an Earth-level Duelist, having four starters and one Hand Trap in a fixed order was completely normal, right? Even if Youye was a King Rank Duelist, making him lose wouldn't be that easy!
While Luo Hao was still focused on winning, Wang Cheng and Chang Xingge were completely astonished by Youye's imaginative approach. It wasn't that they hadn't thought about combining Archetypes, but combining just a single card like this was something they'd never seen before.
"There's still a lot you don't know about this card!"
Youye smiled mysteriously and ignored their confusion, continuing.
"The Effect of Alpha Thuban in my hand, once per turn, by Tributing a Drytron or Ritual Monster from my hand or field, I can Special Summon it from my hand in Defense Position. After that, I can add one Ritual Monster to my hand."
"Therefore, I Tribute the Ritual Monster Cyber Angel Benten from my hand to activate Alpha Thuban's Effect!"
"I Chain 2 to your Alpha Thuban's Effect by discarding Mugen Tsukuyomi from my hand! This turn, for every monster you Special Summon, I gain LP equal to that monster's Attack!"
Luo Hao had been waiting for a long time and immediately followed up.
Youye had no more cards to Chain. The Effects resolved in reverse order: Chain 2 Mugen Tsukuyomi's Effect successfully activated; Chain 1 Alpha Thuban was Special Summoned to the field, Youye added the Ritual Monster Herald of Ultimateness to his hand, and Luo Hao gained 2000 LP (LP: 8000 → 10000).
"Hehe, senior, don't blame me for using a Hand Trap. You said it yourself, if Drytron goes second after setting up, there's no way to win. So I can only force you to stop your plays this way." After the Effects resolved, Luo Hao chuckled, a hint of smugness on his face.
Youye: ...
Drytron isn't a burn Deck. How much can this Hand Trap limit its combo?
As everyone knows, what's the least valuable resource in Yu-Gi-Oh? It's LP. As long as it's not 0, is there a difference between ten thousand and eight thousand? Yes, but not much!
This Hand Trap resolved, so what? What's there to be proud of? It's not like Maxx "C" resolved.
Compared to his indifference, Wang Cheng was smiling at Youye's hand, his gaze deep, wondering what he was thinking.
And Chang Xingge looked at Youye, or rather, at the Herald of Ultimateness on Youye's side. She had a feeling that Youye didn't choose Herald of Ultimateness because of its low Attack. Herald of Ultimateness was the key to shutting down a Deck!
"Uh, if you're happy, I'll continue my plays."
"The Effect of Benten in my Graveyard, when this card is Tributed, I can activate it and add one LIGHT Attribute Fairy-Type Monster from my Deck to my hand." Youye glanced at Luo Hao, saw that he had no more opportunities to Chain, and continued intuitively, "I add Herald of Orange Light from my Deck to my hand."
"Senior has once again increased my knowledge. To think that Cyber Angels, called the weakest Archetype, can be used to gain cards like this. I'm really looking forward to seeing how senior uses the equally weak Herald Archetype."
Seeing Youye gain cards, Luo Hao wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he looked forward to it.
The Cyber Angel and Herald Archetypes were quite famous, famous for being weak, especially the former.
Although the latter had a powerful Boss Monster, very few people could actually summon it. The highest achievement was an Earth-level Duelist, who only passed the Earth Level assessment through sheer luck and a perfect opening hand.
Because of this, he didn't understand the Effects of cards from the Herald and Cyber Angel Archetypes at all. Whether it was Orange Light or Ultimateness, he hadn't bothered to learn about them. For him, knowing that these two were garbage Archetypes was enough.
Could it be that such garbage Archetypes could actually compete with a powerful Archetype like his Cyber Dragons?
"Alright, just don't cry later. I'll also show Chang Xingge how Herald Drytron compromises when it has a good hand," Youye nodded, his eyes looking increasingly pitiful.
"I activate the Ritual Spell Heraldic Spell from my hand. By Tributing monsters from my hand or field whose Levels are 6 or higher, I can Special Summon."
"The monster I Tribute is another Benten from my hand!"
"O Angel hidden in a corner of the world, reveal your mysterious veil now!"
"With the power of holy light, purify all enemies before me!"
"Ritual Summon, Herald of Ultimateness (Defense Position)!"
[Herald of Ultimateness]
[Fairy-Type/Ritual/Effect/LIGHT/Level 6]
[ATK: 1800; DEF: 2800]
After Youye's command was given, a monster composed of two light blue spheres of different sizes with many holes and massive Two Wings appeared on Youye's field with a flash of white light.
Looking at Herald of Ultimateness, the smugness on Luo Hao's face slightly receded. He might not understand it, but the threat he felt from the computer and the rumors of the Herald's powerful Boss Monster clearly indicated that the monster before him was anything but simple.
Of course, he wasn't very flustered. With the Special Summon of Ultimateness, he had just gained another 1800 LP, bringing his LP to a terrifying 11800. With this much LP, even if Youye tried to defeat him next turn with just Ultimateness, Alpha Thuban, and the weak Orange Light in his hand, he wouldn't be able to.
Conversely, if his Cyber Dragons got a chance to combo, he could still defeat someone with ten thousand LP!
Just as he was thinking this, Youye continued his plays:
"Benten's Effect doesn't have a once per turn clause for its name, so I'll activate its search Effect again."
"Chain 2, I activate the Ritual Spell Heraldic Spell from my Graveyard. This card's Effect allows me to Banish it from the Graveyard when Herald of Ultimateness is successfully Ritual Summoned, and return one monster Tributed for that Ritual Summon from my Graveyard to my hand."
Luo Hao didn't Chain. The Effects resolved: Chain 2 Heraldic Spell was Banished, Benten was added to the hand; Chain 1 Benten's Effect added Diviner of the Herald from the Deck to the hand.
"Senior's utilization of card Effects is truly astonishing. A Ritual Summon, which usually results in card disadvantage, actually resulted in no card loss." Seeing Youye's series of plays replenish his hand back to four cards, he exclaimed with admiration.
"Do you still have the energy to admire? Isn't the duel basically over?" Seeing his expression, Youye couldn't help but remind him with a touch of helplessness.
If this were before his transmigration, any Card Player who knew a little about Drytron would already be preparing to surrender, right? Yet, he was still looking smug. If it weren't for his ignorance, this spirit alone would make him look at him in a new light.
"Huh? Impossible! All four cards in my hand are starters, and my next draw, while not a starter, is also a card to assist my starters. How could I possibly have lost already!?" Youye's words made him lose his composure, and he subconsciously revealed the general information about his hand.
Watching behind Youye, Munin and Chang Xingge looked confused. Youye had a hand full of Fairy-Type monsters and was still getting hit by Hand Traps. How could the duel already be over?
But they didn't notice that Wang Cheng's face had already frozen.
