Faker was very confident.
Could you really devour my Heart of the Earth again?
"You revived it again. As expected of the Xyz Dimension, no one can match your obsession with Ace Monsters," Kira said. "But don't you seem to have gotten something wrong?"
Faker: "?"
Kira said, "There's more than one way to deal with your Heart of the Earth."
Faker frowned.
Bluffing?
Yes, it had to be a bluff. Heart of the Earth was his prized ace, something he had always regarded as nearly invincible. For this guy to find a countermeasure so quickly was already impressive enough, yet from the sound of it, he seemed to have even more methods he had not used?
How absurd.
"Don't believe me? Then I'll prove it to you." Kira smiled. "Disciple of the Magician - Dark Magician Girl, continue your attack on 'No. 53 Phantasm God - Heart of the Earth'!"
Dark Magician Girl's blond hair whipped violently in the torrent of magic. Dark magical energy, like the event horizon of a black hole, tore the surrounding shadows into flowing, ink-like matter, forming a constantly collapsing dark purple vortex at the tip of her staff. Ghostly blue electric arcs occasionally burst from its center.
"No matter how many times you attack, it's useless!" Faker said. "Effect Activation of 'No. 53 Phantasm God - Heart of the Earth'!
When Heart of the Earth becomes the target of an opponent's monster attack, I can equip a monster from my Graveyard to Heart of the Earth. While equipped, Heart of the Earth gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the attacking monster!"
As Faker spoke, the vortex in his Graveyard opened once more. The Trash Ogre that had already gone to the Graveyard emerged again, as though seized by an invisible hand
