Chapter 310
According to Pegasus, Aujin's true identity is that of a highly respected prince of a certain country, and the first in line to the throne.
As the crown prince, he controls the nation's weapon of mass destruction—'the sky'!
This is a space-based weapon shaped like an artificial satellite, said to possess terrifying power to destroy the world, making countries around the world extremely wary.
World: This is so hard... (shivering)
As for whether this weapon is actually as powerful as they claim, no one knows for sure, but it is highly likely that it could cause global chaos or even trigger a nuclear war.
Having understood all this, King Jai's intentions became clear.
Mind Control Aujin and gain control of the 'Sky,' manipulating its power to destroy the world!
"So the question now is, has Aujin been manipulated?" Judai muttered, stroking his chin.
Principal Samejima crossed his arms and pondered for a moment before replying, "I don't think so, because he only arrived at the academy to compete today."
Several people actually believed that, until today when Aujin addressed the Judai Emperor as "Lord Saiō," completely overturning their previous assumptions.
Because he was just a weakling extra, Judai easily dealt with him and learned from him where Saiou was.
Surprisingly, the King of the West was hiding right under everyone's noses, in an underground sanctuary beneath the dormitory.
This surprised Judai for quite a while.
Without delay, Judai and his party hurriedly went there.
"Are they here?"
"I am coming!"
Two inexplicable words were uttered, Judai looked at the gloomy-faced Takuma Saio with some curiosity.
' The Light of Destruction seems unable to completely control the Prince's body, otherwise that thing would have activated long ago, and there would still be a chance!'
"Hehehe, hahahaha..."
After surveying the space around them, which appeared to have been built at some unknown time, the Judai looked back at the other person and asked, "What's so funny, Saiō?"
"Oh dear, how rude of me. Welcome to the dueling arena dedicated to the Society of Light."
"Follow the will of fate, this world will eventually be assimilated by the light of purification. Become a part of that light, Yusei Fudo!"
Hearing Saiō's words, Judai quipped, "Oh, so you mean you're not planning to hide anymore?"
"I can't wait any longer!" Saiou's expression gradually crumbled. "Once I assimilate your power, that guy will be unable to stop me anymore, hahahahaha!"
It was clear that the Light of Destruction had taken over the dominant will of the King of the Sea, and he burst into loud laughter.
Hearing the increasingly unrestrained laughter, Manjoume was extremely displeased.
"You're the one who bewitched me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
"Don't be impulsive! The current King Sai is not the same King Sai as before!" Edo, who had followed, stopped the furious Manjoume and cautiously stared at the villain who had already begun to Facial Art expressions.
"Let's duel, Saiō... no, Light of Destruction!"
Judai stepped forward, raised the Duel Disk, and shouted.
"That suits me perfectly! You've been hindering my plans all along, now it's time to settle both old and new scores!"
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]
[Takuma Saio (Light of Destruction): LP4000]
"I'll make the first move!"
Saiō seized the initiative, but he dared not be careless in the face of the hanging Judai.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Takuma Saio's Hand Cards: 5→6]
After scanning his hand, he immediately revealed one of the cards. "Ha, I summon [Arcana Force 3 - Empress] from my hand in Attack Position!"
Buzz!
A flash of light appeared on the field, and a female gray demon was instantly projected.
[Arcana Force 3 - Empress: Attack Power 1300]
"The Arcana Force...!?" Judai felt something was off, and involuntarily frowned. How could a major villain use such a low-class gambling deck?
Saiou, oblivious to Judai's odd expression, began explaining the effect, "Monsters with '[Arcana Force]' in their names exert their corresponding effects by being upright or upside down."
It's basically just guessing heads or tails with a coin, but flipping a coin is just too low-class. How can the mighty boss Light of Destruction, be so pathetic?
So the monster's card appears above the monster's image and begins rotating 45 degrees clockwise each time to determine which card faces up or down.
"Stop!"
After Judai called for a stop, the card didn't stop immediately, but spun around twice more before finally stopping.
"The course of fate is no longer within your control..."
King Zhai sneered, "Fate is already in my hands, therefore the future is clear to me, so of course it is the right one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spinning card stopped instantly, its face now upright.
Judai: Holy crap! Someone's cheating! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
To be able to cheat so openly is truly eye-opening.
The [Arcana Force], which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, is wielded by this cheater with absolute ease. The key is that the Duel Disk didn't report any errors. It's truly unbelievable.
Apart from Judai, everyone else seemed a bit confused but impressed.
"Based on this card's positive effect, when your opponent Normal Summon a monster, they can Normal Summon one monster from their hand whose name includes [Arcana Force]."
"Hmm?" Listening to Saiou's explanation of the effect, Judai sensed that something was off (original effect), but he didn't think too much about it.
Then Saiou threw out another card from his hand. "Activate Field Spell, [Arcana Sanctuary]!"
As the card was activated, a halo of light appeared around his Judai, completely surrounding them.
"This card produces different effects depending on the wheel of fate, but my fate is already unshakeable, so the barrier remains upright."
"The effect of [Arcana Sanctuary] when upright is that you can freely choose whether the card is upright or upside down."
"Bury a card, end the turn."
[Takuma Saio's hand card: 6→3]
No one found it strange that Saiō didn't activate the [Arcana Sanctuary] at the beginning; they all thought he was just showing off, just to demonstrate how ridiculously overpowered he was.
Chapter 199 All Stand Up Straight
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]
Despite Saiō's excessive use of cheat codes, the Judai was not intimidated.
After drawing his card, he calmly placed a card onto the Duel Disk, saying, "I summon [Neo-Spacian Sky Hummingbird] in Attack Position."
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and a crimson bird-man with a pair of pure white wings was projected onto the screen.
[Neo-Spacian - Sky Hummingbird: Attack Power 800]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 6 → 5]
Judai noticed that Sky Hummingbird seemed a bit listless as soon as it entered the arena, and immediately frowned. "Sky Hummingbird? What's going on?"
Saiou grinned menacingly, "Within this [Arcana Sanctuary], all monsters with effects other than [Arcana Force] will be nullified!"
"What did you say?!"
Judai's eyes widened instantly. He had just sensed something was wrong. The effect of Saiou's Arcana Force deck was somewhat different from what he knew, and he hated these kinds of discrepancies.
"This is bad! If the effects of the Judai monsters are sealed, his deck will have a hard time being effective!"
"Most of the powerful effects in that guy's deck are monster effects; Saiou basically rendered his deck useless."
And Saiō wasn't finished speaking, "Don't forget, at this very moment, because you performed Normal Summon, therefore..."
With a cold laugh, the King summoned a monster. "Due to the Empress's effect, summon [Arcana Force 4 - Emperor] from your hand in Attack Position."
A golden beam of light suddenly shot out from behind him, revealing a gigantic mechanical demon controlled by a robot in its lower body.
[Arcana Force 4 - Emperor: Attack Power 1400]
[Takuma Saio's hand card: 3→2]
As the emperor appeared, the card image appeared above his head and began to rotate, just like before, but stopped after rotating once.
"Based on the effect of the [Arcana Sanctuary], it should be upright!"
"According to the 9th Emperor's righteous effect, all 4 of my [Secret Power] monsters on the field have their Attack stat increased by 5005 points."
[Arcana Force 3 - Empress: Attack Power 1300 → 1800]
[Arcana Force 4 - Emperor: Attack Power 1400 → 1900]
"It's more tricky than I expected, but it's not a big problem..."
Since Judai can't use monster effects, then we'll have to rely on attack power.
So he threw out another card from his hand. "Then I'll activate Spell Card from my hand [EN Shift]!"
Return 1 Elemental HERO monster or Neo-Spacian monster you control to its owner's Deck, then Special Summon 1 Elemental HERO monster or Neo-Spacian monster with a different name from that monster from your Deck.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5 → 4]
"Using this effect, I return the Sky Hummingbird on the field to my Deck and Special Summon [Elemental HERO Neos] from my Deck."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky Hummingbird transformed into a beam of light and flew back to his deck.
Immediately after another flash of light, Ultraman reappeared in front of the Judai.
'Drink!'
[Elemental HERO Neos: Attack Power 2500]
After Neo-HERO entered the arena, Judai waved his hand and gave the order, "Take this! Neo-HERO attacks the Emperor, Neo-Spiral!"
Upon receiving his command, Neo-HERO immediately leaped into the air and delivered a powerful chop to the emperor's head, instantly causing a violent explosion.
Boom--!!
"Ugh..."
[Takuma Saio: LP4000→3400]
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000→5400]
"My health has increased? Why?"
In response to Judai's question, Saiou first clicked his tongue in annoyance before explaining, "The third effect of [Arcana Sanctuary] is that when an opponent's monster is destroyed in battle, it restores HP equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK value."
"Oh, I see! That effect works for me too!" Judai suddenly realized, that's good.
"Moreover, without the emperor's influence, the empress's attack power has returned to normal."
[Arcana Force 3 - Empress: Attack Power 1800 → 1300]
"Set two more cards face down, end the turn."
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 4 → 2]
He laid two cards in the back row and then called it a day.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Takuma Saio's hand cards: 2→3]
After drawing a card, Saiō sneered and said, "The effect of the Field Spell [Arcana Sanctuary] is determined during your preparation phase. If it's upright, the effect will last; otherwise, if it's upside down, the barrier's effect will be nullified."
Immediately, the Spell Card floating above began to spin again, and only stopped after spinning several times.
"However, my fate has already been decided, so of course I'll stand upright!"
Asuka clenched her fists nervously, a worry creeping into her heart. "Saiou can manipulate the outcome of that gamble at will; Judai is in trouble this time."
