Chapter 253
After glancing at his hand, Daidouji immediately threw it out. "I also activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed], drawing two cards from my deck."
[Daidouji Cards: 1→2]
After confirming the two cards, he used them together, "Activating the Continuous Spell [Soul Absorption], from now on, for every card banished by either player, I recover 500 Life Points."
"Then activate [Pot of Desires], banish ten cards from the top face of your deck, and draw two cards from your deck."
After removing the top ten cards from his deck, he drew two more cards.
"Since I eliminated 11 cards in total, my health points have been restored to 5500."
[Daidouji: LP1300→6800]
"His health points were restored by 5500 in one go...!?"
"No way?!"
Upon seeing this, everyone was immediately shocked.
"But that leaves you with very few cards in your deck, Daidouji."
Judai, however, remained completely unperturbed.
"Hmph~, you think you can hold out until then, Judai?"
Daidouji continued, "My alchemy has reached its final stage; I will now summon the ultimate product of alchemy."
With that, he tossed out another Spell Card: "Activate the Spell Card [Soul Charge]!"
You can activate this effect by targeting any number of monsters in your Graveyard. Special Summon those monsters, and you lose 1000 Life Points for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.
[Daidouji Cards: 2 → 1]
"What I want to resurrect are, of course, the two Alchemy Beasts in the graveyard!"
Buzz--!!
Two white lights flashed on the field, and the Bronze Scale Serpent and the moon reappeared on his field.
[Alchemy Beast - Copper Scale Serpent: Attack Power 500]
[Alchemy Beast?? Silver Moon Face: Attack Power 500]
[Daidouji: LP6800→4800]
"Hmph~, although activating [Soul Charge] cost me 2000 life points, because this card will be banished, I've regained 500 life points."
[Daidouji: LP4800→5300]
Chapter 103 The Dark Magician Girl
"It's not over yet..."
After reviving the two monsters, Daidouji placed his last card onto the Duel Disk, saying, "I offer the two Alchemy Beasts on the field as tribute to Summon [Tri-Arts Sun Helios] in Attack Position."
Immediately, extremely thick pillars of fire erupted from the field, engulfing the two Alchemy Beasts and further melting them. Then, three obese mummies with the sun on their heads were born from the flames.
[Tri-Arts Sun Helios: Attack Power?]
[Daidouji Cards: 1 → 0]
"Since the two Alchemy Beasts are removed from the Yugi, according to the effect of [Soul Absorption], my health will recover by 1000 points, thus minimizing the cost of activating [Soul Charge]."
[Daidouji: LP5300→6300]
Daidouji, no longer squinting, continued, "And the effect of the Three Suns is that for each monster banished by either player, this card gains 300 ATK and DEF."
"Aside from you and me, there are a total of 13 monsters, so the Three Suns' attack power is 3900 points."
[Tri-Arts Sun Helios: Attack Power? → 3900, Defense Power? → 3900]
Judai frowned upon seeing this. "Attack power 390 points...!? But, after activating [Soul Charge], you can't fight."
Daidouji grinned upon hearing this. "Of course I know, but as long as [Macro Cosmos] exists on the field, you must banish the monster if you want to use Polymerization. At that time, the attack of Triple Sun and my life points will increase again."
"And the Sun of the Three Sons has the ability to launch an additional attack when the opponent still has monsters on their field. Judai, you can't beat my alchemy. You'll be engulfed by the flames of the Sun sooner or later."
"That concludes this round."
The situation is indeed somewhat worrying, but Judai still believes a miracle will happen.
Whew!
After taking a deep breath, he immediately drew a card from the deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→3]
Judai's eyes widened suddenly, and he grinned confidently. "Here it comes! The final piece of the puzzle for our ultimate combo!"
"What did you say?!" Daidouji's pupils suddenly contracted.
Judai immediately placed the card onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [The Sanctuary in the Sky] in Attack Position!"
Buzz--!!
After a flash of light, a priestess dressed in a black robe was projected onto the screen.
[The Sanctuary in the Sky: Attack Power 1700]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]
Daichi Misawa looked at the monster and frowned, saying, "This card's effect is: for each Dark Attribute Monster sacrificed, deal 800 damage to your opponent."
Asuka asked, puzzled, "But Judai doesn't have any other Dark Attribute Monster on his field. Even if he deals damage to Daidouji, he'll recover his life points due to the [Soul Absorption] effect."
Manjoume "Lightning": "What exactly is Judai trying to do?"
While everyone was still in a daze, Judai continued with his actions.
"Next, I activate the Trap Card [Chain Material]. During the turn this card is activated, when I perform Fusion Summon, I can choose Polymerization Materials from my hand, Deck, field, and Graveyard to perform Polymerization."
Daidouji sneered, "Foolish~, due to the effect of [Soul Absorption], my health points have been restored by 500."
[Daidouji: LP6300→6800]
"While the effect of [Chain Material] looks powerful, you can't attack during the turn this card is activated, and the monsters summoned by this effect are destroyed at the end of the turn. In my opinion, this card is all show and no substance."
"Solvadocana!"
"What?!"
Judai smiled and replied, "Just watch and see the true power of this card!"
With that, he opened the arena area on the Duel Disk and placed a card from his hand on it.
"Field Spell [Gate of Fusion] activated. This card can banish monsters to perform Polymerization an unlimited number of times. Combined with the effect of [Chain Material], from now on I can continuously summon Fusion Monster."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"I see. Judai, you truly are a genius of Polymerization. Such a combination can indeed accomplish a lot in a single turn, but that alone is still not enough to break through my combination."
"Heh~, then you just watch."
Judai pointed to the swirling clouds above and shouted, "First, I'll banish Ocean HERO and Forest HERO from my deck, and then Fusion Summon Earth Hero!"
A beam of light descended from the clouds, and Earth Hero landed on Judai's field.
[Elemental HERO Earth Neos: Attack Power 2500]
"Muda muda muda! Due to the removal of two monsters from the Yugi, the attack power and health of the Three Suns have increased!"
[Tri-Arts Sun Helios: Attack power 3900 → 4500]
[Daidouji: LP6800→7800]
2. "[Soul Absorption] is indeed quite annoying, so for the sake of my next tactic, I'll destroy it first."
Judai waved his hand and shouted, "I activate the effect of the Counter Trap [Elemental's Blessing] from the Graveyard. Since I have Earth Hero on my field, I can Special Summon Sky Scourge from the Graveyard!"
Like a flash of white light on the field, Sky Scourge reappeared before our eyes.
[Elemental HERO Avian: Attack Power 1800]
4 [Daidouji: LP7800→8300]
"And due to the effect of Sky Scourge's appearance, destroy up to the number of Spell Card or Trap Card other than yourself."
"You want to destroy the [Macro Cosmos] and [Soul Absorption]...?" Daidouji frowned slightly.
Lu: "No, I only want to destroy [Soul Absorption]. I still have a great use for your [Macro Cosmos]!"
"What did you say?"
This surprised Daidouji.
With a bang, [Soul Absorption] exploded into fragments.
"That way, you're no longer my biggest obstacle, and I can start doing what I really want to do."
Judai raised his right hand and shouted, "The Polymerization condition is an Elemental HERO monster and Dark Attribute Monster. I banish Sky Scourge from the field and Shadow Mist from the Graveyard to Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Dark Mist!"
The two heroes ascended into the clouds, and then a woman clad in sharp, jet-black armor descended from the sky.
[Elemental HERO Dark Mist - Attack Power 2500]
[Tri-Arts Sun Helios: Attack power 4500 → 5100]
"This card's effect is: for each [Elemental HERO] in your Graveyard, your ATK increases by 100."
[Elemental HERO Dark Mist - Attack Power 2500 → 2700]
"Of course, that's not important..." Judai's face showed a strange smile.
Chapter 104 The Neos Cannon
Judai then pointed to the priestess beside him and said, "I offer the DARK Attribute Dark Magician Girl as a sacrifice to activate the special effect of [The Sanctuary in the Sky], dealing 800 points of damage to you."
[Daidouji: LP8300→7500]
[Tri-Arts Sun Helios: Attack power 5100 → 5400]
Daidouji was sweating profusely, sensing that something was going beyond his expectations.
The others felt they were close to finding something; only the last piece of the puzzle remained.
Judai then unleashed another Spell Card: "Next, the Spell Card [Parallel World Fusion] is activated, recalling the banished Winged HERO and Burst Lady to the deck, while banishing Bubbleman from the field and Clayman from the deck, performing a Quadruple Fusion Summon."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1 → 0]
The four heroes appeared together, then transformed into different elemental energies that combined into one, releasing a colorful glow.
"Fusion Summon using four monsters?! What will that result be?"
Judai clenched his fist, "Appear, [Elemental HERO Neos]!"
As the light faded, a robust, golden superhero appeared before us.
[Elemental HERO Neos - Attack Power 2900]
"This is..."
Daidouji sensed something was different; it seemed this monster was exactly what he was looking for.
Judai continued, "The effect of Elemental HERO Neos is that for each monster of the same attribute as this card your opponent has, its ATK increases by 300."
[Elemental HERO Neos - Attack Power 2900 → 3200]
"And the Elemental HERO Neos's monster effect is activated!"
When this card is successfully Fusion Summon, all cards banished from the Yugi are returned to their owner's deck, and the deck is shuffled.
"What did you say?!" Daidouji's pupils constricted sharply.
All the cards he had painstakingly acquired were confiscated, leaving him back to square one.
