Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
If hit by this attack with a full 3100 points of attack power, Aster, with his meager remaining [100LP] health, would obviously have no chance of withstanding it!
Then the Satellite SOLA Key in Aster's possession will fall into the hands of the Sartorius!
This caused Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton to show a hint of tension.
Jiang He, however, was not particularly worried about this.
There must be a way to withstand this attack in that little gray-haired guy's ambush cards! Not to mention that, in his memory, there were already traps in Aster's deck that could withstand this attack. Just last turn, when Sartorius used [Arcana Force I - The Magician] to attack, he noticed Aster secretly glancing at one of the two ambush cards. Jiang He was certain of this, and in fact, that was indeed the case!
"At this moment, activate the Ambush Card, Trap [D - Fortune]!" Seeing the massive orange-yellow energy shockwave shooting towards him, Aster quickly pointed to one of the two Ambush Cards on the field in front of him!
A trap with a diamond figure standing in front of something was suddenly revealed!
"This card's effect can only be activated when your opponent makes a direct attack. Banish 1 D. hero monster from your Graveyard and end your opponent's Battle Phase!"
"I'm excluding the [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude] from my graveyard, activating a trap effect!" Pshaw!
As Aster Phoenix finished speaking, a [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude] card automatically popped out of the graveyard of his Duel Disk, disappearing in a burst of orange-yellow light. Immediately afterward, the [D - Fortune] trap that had been opened on the field in front of him lit up with a translucent white light, transforming into a barrier in his path!
The orange-yellow energy shockwave released by [Arcana Force XXI - The World] was directly blocked! "What?! It actually blocked it?!"
The Sartorius's expression immediately changed, turning grim and unpleasant.
He originally didn't want to reveal too much about his deck and its power to Jiang He, as that would be an advantage against Jiang He later. However, he didn't expect that even the power of one of his ace monsters, [Arcana Force XXI - The World], couldn't defeat Aster in this turn!
It seems that Aster's strength has indeed increased after obtaining the ultimate D. Hero card!
Seeing this, Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I've laid a 5.2 card in my hand. Turn over!"
With a loud "thud," a second massive ambush card, Shadow Queen, appeared on the field in front of the Sartorius, forcing him to end his turn immediately!
"Looks like taking that attack head-on was definitely the right decision! My turn, draw!" Aster Phoenix breathed a slight sigh of relief as he drew a card from his own Duel Disk deck!
After glancing at the card he had drawn, his expression immediately perked up!
It's here!
He might be able to reverse the current situation and win, without relying on Jiang He, by rescuing Sartorius himself and destroying the ace monster of the will of Light of Destruction, the ultimate D. hero card!

"Looks like I drew that ace monster..."
Seeing the expression on Aster's face after drawing a card on the dueling field in the distance, Jiang He immediately guessed what was going on and muttered, "Activate Spell Card from my hand, [Destiny Draw]!"
At that moment, on the dueling field, Aster Phoenix had already drawn a card from his hand to activate his attack!
Suddenly, a familiar Spell Card appeared on the field in front of him, depicting a hand drawing cards from the Duel Disk! "This card's effect allows you to discard one D. Hero monster from your hand to the Graveyard as a trade, and draw two cards from your Deck!"
"I send this Level 1 [Destiny HERO - Disk Commander] from my hand to the graveyard, and draw two cards from my deck!"
As Ed the little gray- Aster revealed a Level 1 D. hero monster from his hand and sent it to his own Duel Disk Graveyard.
He quickly drew two more cards from his own deck according to the effect. "10? Is it the same strategy I used last turn...?"
Even the unlucky little Syrus Truesdale, seeing this scene, somewhat guessed what the little gray-haired Aster was planning! He was probably thinking of using the effect of the Spell Card [Destiny Draw], just like in the last turn, to discard the monster he wanted to revive to the graveyard, while further replenishing his hand!
"But even if we use that method again, it would be difficult for Aster Phoenix to summon a monster with an attack power exceeding 3100 like Sartorius's [Arcana Force XXI - The World], right?" Chazz Princeton frowned and said.
After all, the monsters currently existing in Aster Phoenix's graveyard are not any powerful beings worth resurrecting.
Even the one that just abandoned the graveyard was just a 1-star weakling.
The others also couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.
The same applies to the old cunning pen of the Sartorius in the distance opposite.
Soon, just as expected, the little gray- Aster Phoenix made a new move on the dueling arena in the distance.
One of the three cards drawn from my hand was placed directly onto the Duel Disk to activate!
"Next, I activate another Spell Card from my hand, [Monster Reborn]!"
A familiar blue-green cross-shaped Spell Card suddenly reappeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect allows you to Special Summon any one monster from either player's Graveyard to your field!"
"The one I choose to revive, of course, is [Destiny HERO - Disk Commander], who was just sent to the graveyard by the [Destiny Draw] effect!" Aster Phoenix said, raising his Duel Disk, which immediately lit up with an orange-yellow light! "Revive, [Destiny HERO - Disk Commander]!"
With a faint light, a gray-blue hero-monster figure covered in DJ discs appeared!
He crouched down in a defensive stance and appeared on the field in front of Aster!

"[Destiny HERO - Disk Commander]'s special effect: When it is Special Summon from the Graveyard, you can draw two cards from your Deck!"
"Good heavens... D. hero version of Pot of Greedman?" Jiang He's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
All he could say was that this was probably the divine draw bonus from locking in health to [100LP]. "They actually replenished my hand again?"
Seeing that Aster's hand had suddenly recovered to four cards, Sartorius couldn't help but frown.
Especially when there's an extra Special Summon monster on the Aster!
His expression darkened slightly.
A vague sense of foreboding began to form in me!
"Sartorius, the conditions for my reversal have been met at this moment! I summon Small Mechanical Dog [D3] in Defense Position!" Aster Phoenix smiled confidently, directly placing a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk! "Awooo!!"
With a faint light, a small, jet-black mechanical dog with a "D" on its head appeared!
"That's... the small mechanical dog [D3] that Aster Phoenix used during his duel with Jiang He, specifically as a sacrifice to summon powerful D. hero monsters?!" Upon seeing the dark, small dog-like monster, Alexis Rhodes immediately recognized it and exclaimed.
She remembered that Aster Phoenix had summoned [Destiny HERO - Dogma] with 3400 attack power, but it was immediately destroyed by her boyfriend's Trap Hole deck's trap effect, like flushing a toilet...
Upon hearing this, Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton all began to recall their memories.
"The special effect of Small Mechanical Dog [D3] is that when it is a Tribute to a D. hero monster, it can be used as multiple Tributes by sending 883 monsters from your hand to the Graveyard!"
Hearing the commotion beside him, the little gray-haired Aster's face twitched involuntarily, as he recalled the terrible, depressing memories of being subjected to Jiang He's Trap Hole deck.
However, he quickly regained his composure and focused his attention back on his duel with the Sartorius!
"I will sacrifice my other small mechanical dog [D3] and the three monsters on the field, [Destiny HERO - Disk Commander]!"
"The ultimate D. hero in the Special Summon hand!"
Aster Phoenix then slammed one of his remaining two cards onto his Duel Disk!
"Descend, [Destiny HERO - Plasma]!"
"Snort!!"
As a beam of light shone on the two monsters in front of him, a ring of crimson energy ripples instantly swept outwards!
In the blink of an eye, the figure of a demonic dragon hero with blood-red wings slowly emerged from it!
With a cold snort full of arrogance, he appeared on the field in front of Aster!

Chapter 417 Plasma, also known as Little Relinquished [Please Subscribe]
"This is the ultimate D. hero... Plasma?!"
Upon seeing the purplish-red, bat-wing-like demonic dragon hero monster, Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton were immediately shocked! "So it really is the Plasma..."
Upon seeing this, Jiang He revealed an expression of "I knew it."
He sensed a peculiar power of Light of Destruction emanating from [Destiny HERO - Plasma].
Unlike the old Yin Brush of the Sartorius, which was filled with an aura of destruction, it had become pure energy.
"Sartorius, if you want to end your fate, this monster, which was also possessed by the power of the Light of Destruction, is the most suitable!" On the dueling field in the distance, Aster Phoenix stared intently at Sartorius after summoning the Plasma.
"Hmph, what can a monster that has lost its host power and become an 'empty shell' do even if it still retains a little energy!" Sartorius sneered disdainfully, revealing a sickly expression.
"Then let you give it a good try! Activate the special effect of [Destiny HERO - Plasma]!" Aster immediately waved his hand solemnly.
"Once per turn, choose one monster your opponent controls and make it an Equip Card for Plasma. Its ATK increases by half the equipped monster's ATK! It also gains that monster's effect!" "I choose to absorb the Equip Card—your ace monster, [Arcana Force XXI - The World]!"
"Coagulated Blood!" "Drink!!"
As Aster waved his hand, the crimson dragon hero monster figure on the field in front of him let out a low roar and spread its slightly tattered bat-demon wings! "Whoosh!!"
A powerful suction force, formed by a crimson aura, was instantly released from it!
The enormous, pitch-black, alien mechanical monster [Arcana Force XXI - The World] on the ground in front of the Sartorius struggled and transformed into a mass of pitch-black blood, which was then absorbed and devoured!
Then, from its tattered bat-demon wings, the figure of [Arcana Force XXI - The World] vaguely emerged, struggling to break free.
And [Destiny HERO - Plasma]'s attack power, which was originally only 1900 points, also increased by 1550 points, becoming 3450 points! "Damn it..."
Upon seeing this, the Sartorius's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"So, the ultimate D. hero, Plasma, has a similar effect to the rare card, Relinquished, that Jiang He used before?!" Chumley scratched his head in confusion.
His casual remark caused Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the others to notice that their expressions became somewhat strange.
It seems that's really the case!
Both can absorb an opponent's monster as an Equip Card, but the Ultimate D. Hero, Plasma, that Aster Phoenix has summoned now not only gains the equipped monster's ATK but also its effect!
It's much stronger in this respect!
However, in terms of the attack power bonus, compared to the Relinquished, which can completely absorb all the attack and defense values of the equipped monster, this Plasma only receives half of the equipped monster's bonus.
Furthermore, unlike the Relinquished, it doesn't cause opponents to suffer the same amount of hellish damage when they take combat damage...
Jiang He couldn't help but show a subtle change in expression upon hearing this.
He stated that Plasma, also known as "Little Relinquished"!
However, he also knew that the current effect of absorbing the monster was not yet the complete power of the Plasma!
Soon, on the dueling field in the distance, the little gray-haired Aster revealed his last card and activated it! "This is the true power of Plasma! I activate the Spell Card from my hand, [D - Force]!"
Aster Phoenix spoke, he placed the Spell Card with the black "D" symbol he had indicated face up on top of his Duel Disk deck!
"This card's effect, once activated, places it face up on top of your deck. As long as this card is face up, I cannot draw cards normally each turn!" "But at this cost, activating this Spell Card [D - Force] is a prerequisite for the true power of [Destiny HERO - Plasma]!" Aster Phoenix said, waving confidently.
As Aster Phoenix finished speaking, a crimson ripple spread out around the dark dueling arena in the distance! "Activate the second effect of [Destiny HERO - Plasma]! As long as there is [D - Force] on the top of your Deck, Null and Void the effects of all monsters your opponent controls! Also, Null and Void and destroy all Spell/Trap effects activated targeting cards on your field!" "Blood Domain!" Whoosh!!
