Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Hellish Deck, Depressing the World
This is clearly a dilemma!
Meanwhile, upon hearing Jaden Yuki, Bastion Misawa, and the others immediately realized the same thing and their expressions turned serious!
The Dark Synchro Monster [Zeman the Ape King] summoned by the opponent seems to have a far more sinister effect than many other normal Synchro Monster they've seen!
Not only will it not be destroyed in battle, but it can also exert powerful card-reducing pressure every turn!
If combined with magic traps that can prevent monsters from being destroyed by effects and from taking battle damage,
That would create a truly terrifying card-cutting and blocking system!
While it's not quite as exaggerated as the opponent just claimed, that the duel ended the moment the Dark Synchro Monster [Zeman the Ape King] was summoned.
However, the current situation has indeed become extremely unfavorable to Jiang He from the very beginning!
"It's also a monster with a card-reducing effect...?"
Upon hearing the words of the mastermind controlling Syrus Truesdale, Jiang He's expression showed no worry whatsoever; in fact, it became somewhat subtle!
Because of the deck he's currently using,
We happen to be in the same style as each other...!
"Hmph, do you still think you have any hope?"
Seeing that Jiang He's face didn't show the panicked and serious expression he wanted to see at all, but rather a rather subtle look...
Across the distance, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled, frowned unhappily, his eyes flashing with a purple light.
Immediately, he placed the remaining two cards on the Duel Disk!
"Since I can't attack in the first round, I'll set up two more cards at the end, and then the round ends!"
With a series of "thump-thump" sounds, two huge hidden card shadows appeared one after another on the field in front of Syrus Truesdale!
Then the round ended abruptly!
"It's your turn, kid over there!"
"Since you're so eager to experience the taste of failure, then I won't hold back!"
Jiang He said with a faint smile, and directly drew cards from his Duel Disk deck!
"My turn, draw a card!"
Even this time, as soon as he came up, Jiang He immediately used his Top-Tier Clear Mind's divine drawing ability!
"It has appeared? One of the special duelist forces mentioned in Goodwin's intelligence."
In the distance, the mastermind controlling Syrus Truesdale, who was his duel opponent, frowned and muttered something to himself.
633 Soon after, he saw Jiang He draw a card and, without even looking at what the card was, slap it onto his Duel Disk to activate it!
"Activate the Spell Card from your hand, [That Grass Looks Greener]!"
A Spell Card depicting a brown, wildcat-like monster Swing a scythe to harvest the grass and plants in the yard suddenly appeared on the field in front of Jiang He!
"[The That Grass Looks Greener]?!"
Upon seeing this unfamiliar Spell Card, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled and was his dueling opponent in the distance, immediately showed a puzzled expression.
I've clearly never seen this card before!
Along with Jaden Yuki and the others in the distance, they were all looking at Jiang He, waiting for his explanation!
"The effect of the Spell Card [That Grass Looks Greener]: When you have more cards in your deck than your opponent, you can send the cards that differ in value from your deck to the Graveyard!"
Jiang He smiled and raised the Duel Disk he was wearing, looking at Syrus Truesdale in the distance opposite him.
"At this point, I have 54 cards in my deck, while you only have 30. This means I can discard 24 cards from my deck to the graveyard!"

"What?! They actually reduced the cards in their own deck?!"
Seeing a large stack of cards on Jiang He's Duel Disk disappear in a flash of light and be sent to the graveyard, I realized that a whole bunch of them had vanished.
Regardless of the controlled Syrus Truesdale, who was his dueling opponent in the distance,
Even those watching from a distance, such as Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, were instantly dumbfounded and widened their eyes in disbelief!
I completely failed to understand Jiang He He's bizarre move!
Especially the mastermind behind Syrus Truesdale, who was controlling him, couldn't help but frown!
It's really the speed at which Jiang He activated this Spell Card, [That Grass Looks Greener], to "self-deplete" his own cards.
It's even more powerful than the hellish effects of his Dark Synchro Monster [Zeman the Ape King]!
This directly removed a full 24 cards from the deck and sent them to the graveyard!
Keep in mind that with his [Zeman the Ape King] effect and 2000 attack power, reducing the same number of cards in Jiang He's deck would be extremely difficult.
This can only be done when Jiang He summons a monster with 4400 attack power!
This caused a bead of cold sweat to appear on the face of Zane Truesdale, who was being controlled, as he became filled with surprise and uncertainty!
He immediately looked at Jiang He and said, "Kid, are you starting to give up because you know you can't defeat my Dark Synchro Monster, [Zeman the Ape King]?"
"Is it really true that you lack the knowledge to understand such advanced techniques?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He immediately smiled and raised the Duel Disk he was wearing to indicate it.
Suddenly, an orange-yellow light shone from the location of the cemetery above!
"Then let me tell you what cemetery resource utilization is—a completely new concept that the old folks who come here decades from now definitely won't know about, right?!"
"An antique from several decades later...?"
Upon hearing his boastful words, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled and was his dueling opponent in the distance, clenched his fist with a throbbing vein on his forehead.
I suddenly really want to punch this guy in the face!
That contemptuous tone filled him with hatred!
[Ding! Syrus Truesdale (Rudger) 'Emotion Points +300!]
"..." Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the others standing nearby were all speechless.
For a moment, they were at a loss for words when it came to complaining.
A point in time decades from now should be called "the future".
However, regarding Jiang He's earlier point about the concept of "graveyard resource utilization" in the duel,
The other party seemed to be just like them, not knowing much about the situation!
Soon, they saw Jiang He make a new move on the duel field in the distance, accepting a card that automatically popped out of the Duel Disk graveyard and signaling it to be played!
"Activate the special effect of this Level 4 monster, [Fairy Princess Snow White], which was just sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of the Spell Card [That Grass Looks Greener]!"
"While it is in the Graveyard, you can banish a total of 7 cards from your hand, field, and Graveyard to Special Summon it from the Graveyard!"
Jiang He spoke with a smile on his face, raising his Duel Disk again to indicate that he had received the seven cards that automatically popped out of the Graveyard!
"I choose to banish these seven cards from my graveyard—cards that were also discarded from my deck and sent to the graveyard by the same effect of the Spell Card [That Grass Looks Greener]—as the price!"
"Appear! [Fairy Princess Shirayuki]!"
"Hmm~!!"
With a faint light, the figure of a little girl in a red dress with pink tail and ear flaps suddenly appeared!
He appeared in front of Jiang He with a light laugh!
[Fairy Tale Princess: White Snow]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 1850]
[Defense Strength: 1000]
"It's a special effect monster that can keep reviving from the graveyard?!"
Upon seeing the seemingly harmless pink fox-tailed little girl monster summoned by Jiang He, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled and was his dueling opponent in the distance, was immediately surprised!
He seemed to understand what the sharp-tongued kid meant by "utilization of cemetery resources"!
This allows special effect monsters to be continuously revived from the graveyard, provided there are enough cards to banish them.
And a large number of cards that can be used as resurrection materials are discarded from the deck and sent to the graveyard.
It's practically like having a massive "ammunition depot" ready to revive monsters!
"Next, activate another effect of [Fairy Princess Kaguya]: when it is successfully Summoned or Special Summon..."
You can change one of your opponent's monsters to face-down Defense Position, preventing it from activating its effects!
Jiang He smiled and looked at Syrus Truesdale in the distance opposite him.
"Hmph, naive! You think you can defeat my [Zeman the Ape King] with such a simple method!"
(Wang Haohao) As soon as he said this, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled as his duel opponent in the distance, immediately curled up his lips in a funny expression and chuckled.
Immediately, his eyes glazed over, glowing with a purple light, as he gestured towards one of the two hidden cards on the field in front of him!
"Before that, activate the Ambush Card and the Quick-Play Spell [Forbidden Dress]!"
Quick-Play Spell, depicting a goddess with orange-red hair holding a white Saint Cloth in both hands and examining its design, suddenly burst open from the ground in front of Syrus Truesdale!
"This card's effect allows you to target one face-up monster on the field and reduce its ATK by 600 as a cost."
"Give it a powerful protective effect this turn, preventing it from becoming a target of card effects and from being destroyed by card effects!"

"What?! Sho's deck still has cards like that?!"
Seeing Syrus Truesdale activate the Quick-Play Spell [Forbidden Dress] while under control, Jaden Yuki exclaimed in surprise.
He remembered that Xiang's original deck shouldn't have contained such a rare card!
It must have been added on top of what was happening during the time the other party was controlling Syrus Truesdale!
"However, after activating this Quick-Play Spell [Forbidden Dress], the attack power of the opponent's Dark Synchro Monster [Zeman the Ape King] will decrease by 600 points this turn, leaving it with only 1400!"
Axel Brodie, standing nearby, quickly and calmly offered his analysis.
"In other words, if Jiang He can summon a monster with sufficient attack power..."
Now it's even more likely that we can deplete the opponent's health points through an attack!
"Hmph, naive! Did you think I wouldn't have considered this situation!"
Hearing the commotion beside him, Syrus Truesdale, who was being controlled and was his dueling opponent in the distance, immediately chuckled mockingly with an exaggerated expression.
Immediately, he raised his hand and gestured towards the last remaining hidden ambush card, Shadow, on the field in front of him!
