# Chapter 130: Classic 3-for-1, and it's a Vanilla Monster
"You actually Destroyed Sanga of the Thunder too?!" Kyuu unwillingly flipped up his Set Card. "In that case, Activate Trap Card, Spirit Rope!"
"Because Sanga of the Thunder was Destroyed by Rush Recklessly's Effect, I can Pay 1000 LP to Special Summon a Level 4 Monster from my Deck."
Saying this, Kyuu glanced at his older Brother, Mei, standing on his Right Hand side. After receiving a nod of agreement from his Brothers, he searched his Deck for a Monster and Summoned it to his Field. "I choose this one, Jirai Gumo!"
A massive spider Monster crawled out from within the remains of Sanga of the Thunder. Originally, Jirai Gumo should have been a Monster hidden within the Labyrinth, waiting for an opportunity to Attack unsuspecting enemies, but due to the Field, it could only fight the enemy head-on now.
However, even though it wasn't very good at head-on Attacks, as a Level 4 Monster, Jirai Gumo possessed a quite good ATK of 2200 Points. Among the 4☆ Monsters in Hayato's Hand, only Goblin Attack Force's ATK was higher than it.
"Although I am currently still in the Battle Phase, and Rush Recklessly's Effect has not yet disappeared, Armed Dragon LV7 has already battled with Sanga of the Thunder and cannot Attack again," Hayato said, flipping up a Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. "In that case, I end the Battle Phase, and then Activate this Card."
The Set Card was revealed to be the Spell Card, Nightmare's Mirage, a Spell Card that allows Hayato to Draw his Hand up to 4 Cards during the Paradox Brothers' Standby Phase, but requires him to Discard Cards during his next Turn's Standby Phase.
"I Set the Card in my Hand. My Turn ends." The last Card in his Hand was Unexpected Dai that Hayato had Recycled with Magical Stone Excavation. It was temporarily useless, so Hayato Set it. This way, when Nightmare's Mirage's Effect Activates next Turn, he could Draw one more Card.
[Hayato: 8000LP, Hand 0]
[Armed Dragon LV7][ATK 0]
[Nightmare's Mirage][Set Card][Set Card]
"What a troublesome guy, you actually defeated the second Spirit God Summoned by us Brothers?! But that Armed Dragon you left behind, because its ATK became 0, also became the biggest weakness on your Field."
"My Turn, Draw a Card!" Looking at the Card he Drew, Mei smiled with satisfaction. The Card he Drew was Different Dimension Reincarnation, which allows you to Discard one Hand Card and return a Banished Monster to the Field. He was previously still worried about how to bring Suijin back. Well now, it could be achieved immediately.
Just as he was about to start his Main Phase, Hayato interrupted Mei.
"During your Standby Phase, the Nightmare's Mirage on my Field can Activate its Effect." Placing his Hand on his Deck, he Drew 4 Cards. Hayato added them to his Hand. "During the Opponent's Turn's Standby Phase, I can Draw my Hand up to 4 Cards, and then during my Turn's Standby Phase, Discard the number of Cards Drawn."
"Hmph, a fleeting mirage? In that case, I'll become your Nightmare." Because of Hayato's Graceful Charity's Effect earlier, his Hand was replenished to 6 Cards, plus he Drew another Card this Turn. Mei's Hand count had reached 7 Cards. He could freely and lavishly spend them and wasn't particularly envious of the "fleeting" Hand in Hayato's Hand.
"From my Hand, Activate Magic Card, Different Dimension Reincarnation! After I Discard one Hand Card, I can choose one of my Banished Monsters and Summon it in Attack Position to my Field, and then Equip this Card to it." Mei returned the Suijin that was previously Banished by V to Z's Effect to the Field, smiling proudly. "I only have this one Banished Monster. Come back, Suijin!"
[Suijin][ATK 2500 → 2700]
"It's not over yet!" Mei played another Card. "Spell Card, Tribute Doll! By Tributing one Monster, I can Special Summon a Level 7 Higher-Level Monster from my Hand."
He glanced at Kyuu on the other side. "Sorry little Brother, I'm going to use your Monster as Tribute."
"It's okay, big brother. If it's you, feel free to use it," Kyuu smiled and responded to Mei, sending the Jirai Gumo on his Field into the Graveyard. And in exchange, on Mei's Field, a Monster appeared that was entirely emerald green, like a ball.
"This is our Brothers' final Ace Monster, the third Spirit God, Kazejin!"
[Kazejin][7☆/Wind]
[Spellcaster Type/Effect]
[2400/2200]
"Finally, this Card, Monster Reborn! Activate by Targeting that Sanga of the Thunder in my brother Kyuu's Graveyard! Revive it to my Field!"
Lightning bloomed, Water flowed rapidly, fierce winds howled. After successively experiencing being Banished and sent to the Graveyard, the three Spirit Gods finally Assembled on Mei's Field. There were three Level 7 Monsters, making Hayato really want to Stack the three Monsters and immediately bring out a Lucky Straight to have some fun.
As for the Paradox Brothers' idea, it was partially similar to Hayato's—
"Finally, finally Assembled!" Looking at the three Assembled Spirit Gods, Mei was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. It took a lot of effort, combining the strength of them two Brothers, but the three Spirit Gods were finally all Summoned to his Field. With this, there was only one thing left to do.
"Hayato Kobayashi, to be able to Duel with us Brothers until now, I have to admit you are a truly remarkable Duelist. No wonder Master Pegasus values you so much." While speaking, Mei raised the last Card in his Hand. "Then, let me show you our Paradox Brothers' ultimate Ace Card, the Ultimate Monster!"
Kyuu: "When Suijin, Kazejin, and Sanga of the Thunder are Assembled on the Field!"
Mei: "Stack the three Monsters as Tribute!"
Kyuu: "The strongest Warrior guarding the final point of the Labyrinth will appear!"
Mei & Kyuu: "Come forth, our proud Monster, Gate Guardian!"
The incredibly classic Stacking Summon reappeared on the Field. The head was composed of Sanga of the Thunder, Kazejin served as the waist, and Suijin became the lower body. Even among later Warrior Type Duel Monsters, it was the noble 11☆ Monster with one of the highest ATK—Gate Guardian officially Descends!
[Gate Guardian][11☆/Dark]
[Warrior Type/Special Summon]
[3750/3400]
Speaking of which, you have to mention Duel Academy in GX. Chronos taught a good Card Disadvantage technique, 4-for-1 Summoning Ancient Gear Golem. Judai didn't learn anything else but learned this well, classic 5-for-1 Summoning Elemental HERO Neos, surpassing the master.
