Chapter 304
He was a gray-haired man wearing a white trench coat, with a pair of gloomy gray eyes behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
This person is none other than Franz!
"Mr. Franz!"
Franz, noticing their arrival, said jokingly, "Oh! Isn't this Chairman Pegasus? Are you looking for this?"
He was holding a card in his hand.
Although it was too far away to see the card clearly, its unique gold background still revealed its true nature.
The Winged Dragon of Ra!
Seeing this, Pegasus said urgently, "Give that card back, or things will get out of control. You should know just how dangerous that card is!"
Unfortunately, Franz had no intention of heeding the advice. As he put the card into his deck, he said, "Yes, I know very well that this is the strongest and most wonderful card in the world! If you want to go back, try to defeat the deck that has this card."
Pegasus's expression grew increasingly grim. "Then there's no other way. I'll have to leave the rest to you, Judai- boy!"
"Hmm, leave it to me. I'm getting impatient anyway!"
Chapter 187 The War Between Gods and Demons
When he saw Judai step forward, Franz finally took a good look at the jellyfish-haired boy in the red jacket in front of him.
"Hmph, so this is the thug that Chairman Pegasus hired? Interesting. Well then, let him give you a taste of the legendary power of the Sun God!"
After saying that, he and Judai revealed their Duel Disk together.
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]
[Franz: LP4000]
Judai didn't hold back and seized the initiative without hesitation.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]
After scanning his hand, he first placed a card onto the Duel Disk, "I summon [Chaos Core] in Attack Position!"
A purple light flashed across the field, and a skeleton with a pair of demonic wings and a glowing core embedded in its chest was projected.
[Chaos Core: Attack Power 0]
Ignoring the opponent's reaction, Judai inserted another card from his hand into the Spell & Trap Zone.
"Then place another card in ambush, and the turn ends."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 6 → 4]
He ended his turn without any hesitation.
Franz raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. "Ha, a lowly monster with zero attack power?"
'What an amateur! A monster with zero attack power is obviously not simple!' Pegasus clearly didn't think so. 'The point isn't the monster itself, but the three terrifying figures connected to it. Judai Boy probably possesses incredibly powerful abilities.'
As he was thinking this, Franz began his own turn.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Franz's hand cards: 5→6]
Looking at the card in his hand, Franz revealed a smug, confident expression. "Heh heh heh heh, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell [Photon Lead] from my hand!"
"I Special Summon [Apostle of the Sun God] from my hand, one Level 4 or lower Light Attribute monster in Attack Position."
Buzz!
Amidst the dazzling flashes of light, a dark-skinned humanoid monster stood solemnly on the field, clad in golden armor and wearing a golden helmet shaped like the Winged Dragon of Ra, just as its name suggests, a messenger serving the Sun God.
[Apostle of the Sun God: Attack Power 1100]
[Franz's hand cards: 6→4]
"When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summon, or Special Summoned, Special Summon two more [Apostle of the Sun God] from your Deck."
Buzz!
In an instant, two more identical messengers appeared before Franz.
[Apostle of the Sun God: Attack Power 1100] ×2
"In this way, the three offerings made to the gods will be..."
"Here it comes, Judai- boy~!"
The moment the three monsters gathered, Franz's tone suddenly became urgent and frantic, shouting, "Sleeping soul of God, now reveal your true form to the world, let them know the folly of opposing you!"
"I offer all three [Apostle of the Sun God] on the field to the gods, to awaken the supreme and powerful Egyptian God Cards!"
"Appear, [The Winged Dragon of Ra]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three apostles vanished from the field.
Rumble!
Endless dark clouds gathered from all directions, obscuring the entire sky, and the roar of thunder echoed through the heavens.
Immediately, a magnificent figure, as large as a mountain, descended upon the island, radiating golden light.
Phew--!!
The golden dragon, with its eagle-like head, let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire land to tremble.
As a burst of intense light and divine power manifested, those unaware of the situation felt a sense of unease.
"What? What happened?"
"What is that giant golden shadow?"
"Is someone dueling?"
Asuka, who had already learned the news from Principal Samejima, was sweating bullets. "Judai, do your best..."
"[The Winged Dragon of Ra]'s attack power is the sum of the attack power of the monsters offered as sacrifices."
[The Winged Dragon of Ra: Attack Power 3300]
[Franz's hand cards: 4→3]
"Stop! Only duelists chosen by the gods can command divine obedience. You will incur the wrath of the gods!" Pegasus shouted anxiously as he saw Franz actually summon the Sun God.
There have been attempts to use copies of the Winged Dragon of Ra of Ra, but without exception, all of them suffered terrible divine punishment.
Therefore, in Pegasus's view, if Franz were to attempt to control the Sun God, he would inevitably anger the god!
"I have completed that card that even gods can manipulate!"
Franz roared, his eyes blazing, "God, hate me all you want!"
"I activate the Field Spell [God Binding Tomb] from my hand!"
[Franz's hand cards: 3→2]
Rumble rumble rumble!!
Amidst a deafening roar, thick iron chains shot up from the ground and swept towards the Winged Dragon of Ra of Ra, tightly binding its limbs and body.
'Roar--!'
The Winged Dragon of Ra roared and struggled frantically, shaking the entire arena, but it could not break free from the strange chains and could only be manipulated by him.
"Hahahaha! This is the card that can manipulate gods! Watch closely, President! I, who can make even the strongest and most evil god obey me, am now invincible!"
Then Franz raised his right hand and roared, "Take this! [The Winged Dragon of Ra]'s attack, God Blaze Cannon!"
At its command, the Winged Dragon of Ra opened its mouth wide, unleashing a divine flame capable of incinerating everything, which hurtled towards the Judai below.
However, facing the god's attack, Judai remained unfazed and coldly said, "Nonsense! [Chaos Core] monster effect activated!"
"When this card becomes a target of an effect or attack, send up to three of the Wicked God from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, place up to three Phantom Spell Counters on this card, and take zero battle damage this turn. You can also remove one counter to negate one battle or effect destruction."
"I'll send [Raphiel, Soul of the Wicked God] to the graveyard, so the damage I take will be zero."
As Judai threw a blue-background card into the graveyard, the divine fire of the Winged Dragon of Ra was instantly absorbed by its core.
"How is this possible?! A god's attack was absorbed by that trash?!"
Franz looked on in disbelief.
"The Wicked God ..." Pegasus murmured to himself, "I've heard of this legend. It's said that these three are ultimate cards that slumber on this island, comparable to the Three Phantom Gods. I never imagined that Judai Boy could conquer such a terrifying existence that could bring about destruction!" (He didn't know that the original the Wicked God had already been killed.)
Chapter 188 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot
Seeing that Judai was unharmed, Franz clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Tch, then I'll lay another card in my pocket, turn over!"
[Franz's hand cards: 2→1]
Upon seeing this, Judai scoffed, "As expected, you are not the one who truly controls the Sun God, which is why you cannot fully unleash His power."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Under the power of my [God Binding Tomb], the power of the gods has been greatly enhanced!" Franz said dismissively. "As long as [God Binding Tomb] exists on the field, monsters with a level of 10 or higher will not be targeted by effects and will not be destroyed by effects."
"Furthermore, [The Winged Dragon of Ra] cannot be affected by Trap Card effects, and the effects of monsters and spells on it only last for one turn."
"It can be said that God is invincible in my hands!"
Judai shook his head upon hearing this, "How stupid, that [God Binding Tomb] also worked on me."
"What?"
While Franz was still in a daze, Judai drew another card.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4→5]
After drawing the card, Judai pointed to the face-down card at his feet and shouted, "Open the face-down card, Continuous Trap [Super Flame Wave]!"
Once per turn, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Add 1 of the following cards from your Graveyard to your hand: [Uria the Sacred Fire Emperor Uria], [Hamon Lord of the Heavenly Prison], or [Raphiel, Soul of the Wicked God], or Special Summon them regardless of their Summoning conditions.
"The card I'm going to reclaim is undoubtedly Rabiel was just placed in the graveyard."
Since Rabiel hasn't appeared yet and has a resurrection restriction, Judai can only add this card to his hand for now.
Then, he drew another card from his hand and placed it on the Duel Disk: "Next, I summon [Gunslinger] from my hand in Attack Position."
Buzz!
Amidst a flash of light, a demon with two cannons embedded in its back and arms longer than its legs was projected onto the field.
[Gunslinger: Attack Power 1100]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5 → 4]
He then pointed at the demon and shouted, "At this moment, the [Gunslinger] special effect activates!"
When this card is Normal or Flip Summon: You can activate this effect. Special Summon up to the number of [Gunslinger Token] (Fiend-type /DARK/Level 4/ATK/DEF 500) to your field.
"I have two monsters on my field, therefore I Special Summon two [Gunslinger Token]."
Immediately, two identical figures appeared on either side of the Gunslinger.
[Gunslinger Token: Attack Power 500] ×2
Pegasus was immediately startled. "Summoning three monsters at once, could it be...?"
"It's that... could it be..." Part Two
Judai spoke, he raised the Phantom Demon in his hand.
"I offer up the [Gunslinger] and two [Gunslinger Token] on the field as tribute to Special Summon [Raphiel, Soul of the Wicked God] from my hand! Appear!"
As he slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a beam of cyan light shot into the sky, shattering the earth in an instant. A colossal figure gradually materialized, a gigantic azure demon king standing on the earth, confronting the sun god.
[Raphiel, Soul of the Wicked God: Attack Power 4000]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4 → 3]
'Roar--!!!'
