Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Dark Deck and Depressing the World
It appeared, swaying, in the arena before the Sartorius!
[Arcana Force 7 - Chariot]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 1700]
[Defense Strength: 1700] "Thump thump thump...!!"
Almost the instant [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] was summoned, a card image appeared above its head and began to rotate clockwise.
"That is...?!" Everyone, including Jaden Yuki, Bastion Misawa, and the others, as well as Aster Phoenix, couldn't help but show expressions of confusion.
Jiang He was the only one who wasn't surprised at all; in fact, his expression became somewhat subtle.
So, that old charlatan, Sartorius's Arcana Force deck really did start by "gambling" with a coin toss right from the beginning...?
"[Arcana Force VII - The Chariot]'s special effect: When summoned, flip a coin or spin this card to determine its position. If it lands heads up, it gains the effect of Special Summon an opponent's monster to your field when that monster is destroyed in battle!" Sartorius said with a crooked grin as he looked at Aster.
"Of course, if it's in reverse position, then the negative effect is that when it's destroyed by battle, it's Special Summon to the opponent's field!"
"Aster, even you, who's known me since childhood, are probably seeing my Arcana Force deck for the first time!" "You decide when this spinning card will stop, let me show you the will of fate!" "Stop right now!"
Upon hearing this, Aster Phoenix, seeing the card image rotating clockwise above [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot], quickly called for a halt.
"Thump... click!"
As Aster finished speaking, the spinning card, after rotating slowly twice, finally came to a stop facing forward! "Oh no, it's upright!"
Seeing this Alexis Rhodes, standing beside Jiang He, immediately spoke up.
"In that case, what Sartorius receives will be a positive effect!"
Meanwhile, in the distance at the dueling arena, Aster Phoenix's face also showed a gritted-teeth expression.
Jiang He glanced disdainfully at the direction of Sartorius's cunning pen.
He didn't believe it was really because the little gray-haired Aster was unlucky and the card stopped precisely in the right position when he called "stop." He could clearly sense that the power of the Light of Destruction was residing within the card that had just been spinning.
Clearly, that was the old cunning pen of the Sartorius, used to control the power of this Arcana Force card deck, to "cheate" and control the direction of the cards when they were rotated!
It was said that Aster was supposed to call a halt, but in reality (BAFC), the other side was in control.
High emotional intelligence: a choice made in life.
Low emotional intelligence: The choice for cheating!
Jiang He almost immediately guessed why the Sartorius was deliberately putting on an act.
This is meant to show Jiang Daishanren)...
To paralyze him!
"Hmph, this is fate's choice, Aster! [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] Gains positive effect!"
"When you destroy an opponent's monster in battle, you can Special Summon that monster to your own field!" Sartorius chuckled and looked at Aster, then immediately waved his hand to signal the summon!
"[Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] Attack [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]! Slime Cannon!" Whoosh!!"
As the Sartorius finished speaking, the gray-black figure of [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot] in front of him raised a tentacle laser cannon and quickly shot out a white beam of light from it, attacking the diamond figure that was crouching in a defensive posture in front of Aster!
Instantly, the [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude] figure, with only 1600 defense, screamed in pain and exploded into a ball of fire and smoke, destroyed by the direct attack! At that moment, activate the Ambush Card, Trap [D - Signal]!
Enduring the smoke from the explosion, Aster gritted his teeth and raised his hand to point to the only ambush card on the field in front of him.
A trap with a "D" symbol projected onto the sky above the dark city was suddenly revealed!
"This card's effect activates when your monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower D. hero monster from your Deck or hand!"
"Come on, [Destiny HERO - Defender]!" "Hmm!!"
Aster, with a flourish, raised the Duel Disk he was wearing as a gesture!
The next second, as a burst of orange-yellow light shone from the [D - Signal] trap that had been opened in front of him, a defensive figure, covered in bluish-gray and dressed as if in heavy city wall armor, appeared!
He groaned and crouched down, appearing in a defensive stance in front of Aster Phoenix!

"It's the [Destiny HERO - Defender] that Jiang He used before!"
Upon seeing Aster Phoenix use the Trap [D - Signal] effect to Special Summon the defensive figure from his deck, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others immediately recognized it.
If they remember correctly, this [Destiny HERO - Defender] has extremely high defense, but it seems to have a negative effect that allows the opponent to draw one more card during each of their preparation phases!
The current Aster Phoenix doesn't have a card like Masked HERO Dark Law, the ace monster in Jiang He's previous Dark HERO Deck, which can reasonably utilize this negative effect into a positive one.
It's clearly just a burden.
"Oh? So you've adopted a completely defensive strategy, not choosing to summon any monsters with slightly higher attack power."
Sartorius saw the [Destiny HERO - Defender] with a defense of 2700, he scoffed and said...
"It seems you, Aster, are quite aware that no matter how much you resist, you cannot leave a single scratch before this solid wall of fate that determines your destiny!"
"By the positional effect of [Arcana Force VII - The Chariot], the monsters it battles and destroys Special Summon to my field! Revive under the manipulation of fate, [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]!"
"Er!!"
With a series of painful groans and struggles, a figure of a hero-monster wearing a gray cloak and covered in irregularly shaped diamonds appeared in front of the Sartorius, controlled by a white light!
[D·hero Diamond Man]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 1400]
[Defense Strength: 1600]
"Damn it! [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]!"
Upon seeing this Aster Phoenix gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
Although he didn't see the abilities of the Duel Monsters Spirit, it was because this was Shadow Duel!
The summoned monsters are mostly in physical form.
Therefore, he could naturally see the Diamond Man's painful state as it was Special Summon and controlled by the Light of Destruction. "Fortunately, the little gray-haired guy Special Summon a high-DEF monster like the Defender from his deck just now, so even if Sartorius Special Summon [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude], it won't be able to attack or break through the defense."
Seeing this, Jiang He nodded in approval of Aster Phoenix's decision to activate a trap and Special Summon a monster. He explained that otherwise, given the generally low attack and defense of most monsters in the D. hero deck (level 4 and below), even if summoned, they would only be cannon fodder used to block one of Sartorius's attacks.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"..." Aster's eyes twitched slightly when he heard Jiang He's undisguised use of the term "little gray hair" beside him.
Why is it that even though this guy is now on the same side as him, he still has his own mentality?!
Shouldn't we switch to targeting the Sartorius?! Then I laid a trap, and my turn ended!
At this moment, Sartorius also placed a card on his own Duel Disk, ending his turn immediately.
A huge, hidden card suddenly appeared on the field in front of him with a "thud." "My turn, draw!"
Aster had no choice but to continue focusing intently on the duel, drawing cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
After glancing at the card he had drawn, he immediately declared, "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Destiny Draw]!"
A figure in a suit wearing Duel Disk, raising a hand to draw a Spell Card from the deck, suddenly appeared on the field in front of the little gray-haired Aster! (Requesting flowers...)
"Discard one D. hero monster from your hand, and you can draw two cards from your deck!"
As he spoke, Aster took one card from his remaining four cards and placed it into the Duel Disk graveyard.
"I sent this Level 6 monster [Destiny HERO - Dasher] from my hand to the Graveyard, and then drew two cards from my Deck!" "Could it be that there's some card that can revive monsters in the Graveyard...?"
Not to mention Jiang He, even the academically challenged Judai's Jaden brother, Syrus Truesdale, who was not far away, immediately guessed what was going on and asked in confusion.
Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, all nodded in agreement and continued watching the situation on the dueling field.
And sure enough, the guess came true!
"Next, I activate Spell Card from my hand: [Monster Reborn]!"
After Aster Phoenix drew two more cards based on the effect of [Destiny Draw], he quickly placed one of the cards from his hand onto the Duel Disk to activate it.
Immediately, a familiar Spell Card with a blue cross pattern appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect can revive one monster from your Graveyard! The one I'm choosing to Special Summon is, of course, the [Destiny HERO - Dasher] that I just sent to the Graveyard!"
"Rise, [Destiny HERO - Dasher]!" Hah!!"
As Aster raised the Duel Disk he was wearing to indicate the location of the graveyard, an orange-yellow light quickly shone forth.
In the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground in front of him, and with a low roar, it transformed into a special monster figure that was half humanoid and half motorcycle in black!

"Next, I summon [Destiny HERO - Drilldark] with an attack!"
After resurrecting [Destiny HERO - Dasher] from the graveyard, Aster Phoenix didn't stop moving at all.
He immediately placed another card from his remaining five cards onto his Duel Disk!
"Snort!!"
With a faint light, a figure in red and black armor, wielding a sharp drill, leaped into view!
He appeared on the field in front of Aster with a low, muffled groan!
