Chapter 130. Blue-Eyes Family Bucket Lands a Heavy Strike! Dragon Master Magia's Suppression!
The Old Guard finally, at this moment, truly understood why some Decks run Maxx "C" even without Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring.
This single card can hard-stop a full-combo Deck.
If the opponent doesn't stop, then you yourself will gain an endless stream of card advantage.
Just like the "No-Shuffle President" before their eyes.
His hand resources had already gone crazy from drawing, and the turn had reached him.
All Duelists couldn't help being curious.
With so many resources in hand for Blue-Eyes White Dragon, just what kind of Blue-Eyes explosion could he produce?
In the short video, the turn passed to the No-Shuffle President.
No-Shuffle President: "My turn—draw."
No-Shuffle President: "I activate the Spell Card Dark Ruler No More!"
No-Shuffle President: "All monsters on your field have their effects negated!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Chain Nordic Relic Svalinn!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "All your face-up cards' effects are negated until the end of the turn."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Dark Ruler No More prevents monsters from chaining, but my Trap can, so your Dark Ruler's effect is negated."
No-Shuffle President: "It doesn't matter.
The fated victorious conclusion will not change!"
No-Shuffle President: "I reveal Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Special Summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon from my hand!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "I activate Number 29: Mannequin Cat and choose your Maxx 'C'."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Then I Special Summon Fusion Parasite from my Deck!"
"Activate Fusion Parasite's effect—when this card is Special Summoned, I can conduct an accelerated Fusion!"
"And this card can also substitute for a specifically named Fusion Material on a Fusion Monster."
"I fuse it with my Link-2 Armillyre, the Starleader Dragon!"
"Manifest—Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon!"
Accelerated Fusion?
What the heck?
You can do that?!
That parasite's effect is kind of cracked.
It can fuse the moment it's Summoned.
Even crazier is Number 29: Mannequin Cat.
At this point, all Duelists realized how absurd this Xyz Monster's disruptive and support value really is.
No wonder you'd make it first as interference and combo assist.
But the problem is—
This Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon also doesn't seem able to stop the No-Shuffle President's explosion.
No-Shuffle President: "Just a small fry."
No-Shuffle President: "I use Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to destroy your Mannequin Cat!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Muda, muda!
I flip my second Trap—Double Hooking!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Per its effect, I discard Raviel, Lord of Phantasms – Heavenly Smiting Fist!"
"I revive these two monsters from the GY!"
"Rise—Spirit of Yubel and Junk Collector!"
"Spirit of Yubel sets Eternal Favorite directly from my Deck!"
"Junk Collector banishes itself and the Trap Storm Dragon's Return from my GY to copy Storm Dragon's Return!"
"And Storm Dragon's Return targets a banished monster—mine or yours—and Special Summons it to my field.
During the End Phase it returns to its owner's hand."
"Then the banished monster I'm reviving is divine!"
"Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
"At the same time, because Junk Collector left the field, Double Hooking is destroyed, and my Spirit of Yubel is also destroyed by effect!"
"Spirit of Yubel continues—Special Summon that monster from my Deck!"
"You probably won't understand!
The bond that let me get here with this one—just what kind of connection it is!"
"Come forth—Yubel!"
"Meanwhile, my Diabolica the Draconique General triggers in the GY!"
"When a Fiend is sent to my GY by an effect, I can Special Summon this card!"
No-Shuffle President: "My Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon in the GY also triggers!"
No-Shuffle President: "It Special Summons itself!"
One back-and-forth exchange made Duelists across every world jolt to their core.
Especially the backrow of A Set of Twelve Gods.
In the opponent's turn, he managed to explode his own combo.
The previously banished Slifer was even dragged back to the field.
And Slifer's effect?
How could the Old Guard not know it by heart?
Once the opponent Special Summons a monster, Slifer's "Thunder Force" reduces that monster's ATK or DEF by 2000.
If it falls below 2000, it's destroyed.
With Storm Dragon's Return, Slifer can even be added back at the End Phase.
This sequence from A Set of Twelve Gods was absolutely beautiful.
Except—the more it went on, the more confused everyone felt.
The Deck being played felt more and more… off.
No-Shuffle President: "I see.
You pulled out Slifer."
No-Shuffle President: "Then I use Sage with Eyes of Blue in my hand—send my Maxx 'C' on the field to the GY!"
"Special Summon this monster from the Deck!"
"Come—Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "You Summoned a monster?"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Slifer the Sky Dragon activates—Thunder Force!"
No-Shuffle President: "Thunder Force?
Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon chains as Chain Link 2!"
No-Shuffle President: "On Summon, it can negate a monster effect you control, so keep Slifer's Thunder Force for yourself!"
"Then Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon returns itself to the Deck to Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the Deck!"
"I activate Dragon's Mirror!"
"Per its effect, I banish The White Stone of Ancients and Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my GY!"
"Fusion Summon—I'll make this guy too!"
"Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon!"
"I activate The Claw of Hermos!"
"I send Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to the GY to Fusion Summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword!"
"I equip Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword to Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon!"
"And the Black Dragon Sword's effect—"
"The equipped monster gains ATK/DEF equal to the number of Dragon monsters on both fields and in both GYs × 500!"
"So my Tyrant Dragon's final ATK is 7900!"
"And I'm not done!"
"I activate Chaos Form!"
"I Tribute Blue-Eyes White Dragon on my field!"
"Ritual Summon!"
"Descend and whip you into defeat—Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"
"And I activate Ultimate Fusion!"
"I shuffle two Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon from my GY back into the Deck!"
"Fusion Summon—Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!"
"Per Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, I destroy your Fallen Paradise, Awakening of the Sacred Beasts, and Nordic Relic Svalinn!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "Muda, muda, muda!
Did you forget?"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "When I milled earlier, Kardan the Clear-Sighted already activated in my GY!"
"Until the end of your turn, my face-up Trap Cards cannot be destroyed by effects!"
No-Shuffle President: "But your Fallen Paradise still has to go to the GY."
Madness.
Too crazy.
Crazy Fusion.
Crazy Ritual.
Frenziedly converting every last one of his resources.
So this is the hand advantage Maxx "C" brings.
He doesn't feel bad about anything.
No—he's even pulling out the entire Blue-Eyes family bucket from the Extra Deck.
This explosive display of resources already had Duelists across the worlds gasping.
In the DM world, Seto Kaiba felt his blood heating up at this sequence.
On that so-called No-Shuffle President's field, he assembled:
Fusion aces—Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon.
Ritual ace—Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon.
Normal and effect monsters—Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon.
"Good!
Beautifully done!"
"Like this—use Burst Stream of Destruction!"
"Finish him!"
Kaiba shouted aloud, but he knew very well this still couldn't end it.
Because the opponent's Life Points, copied by Awakening of the Sacred Beasts, had reached a terrifying 31,900 LP.
That's right.
After being stunned by the full Blue-Eyes family bucket, when they saw the opponent's LP, everyone was dumbfounded.
In the GX world:
"How much?"
"How many Life Points?"
"31,900?!"
That's nearly the combined LP of four players at 8000 in a team duel.
Jaden Yuki muttered inside, took a deep breath, and exhaled.
His pupils were still wide with shock.
"What the heck!
His Life Points—when did they become 31,900?"
"I know!
It's that Trap—Awakening of the Sacred Beasts!"
"Huh?
That card has this effect too?
That busted?!"
"It seems because he controls Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, the Trap applies an effect.
Every time the opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster, he gains LP equal to that monster's ATK."
The surrounding students erupted in discussion.
Very quickly, the reason for the sudden LP surge was explained.
Likewise, because of that Life total, they knew very well that although the Blue-Eyes family bucket is flashy and cool, it can't finish A Set of Twelve Gods this turn.
No-Shuffle President: "It's just a candle flickering in the wind."
No-Shuffle President: "Battle Phase!"
No-Shuffle President: "Time to clear out all the small fry on your field!"
"First hit!
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon destroys your Defense Position Diabolica the Draconique General."
"Second hit!
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon destroys your Defense Position Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder."
"Third hit!
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon destroys your Odin, Father of the Aesir—you lose 3900 LP."
"Fourth hit!
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon destroys your Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon—you lose 4500 LP."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "But at this moment!"
A Set of Twelve Gods: "I activate the GY effect of my Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "When it's sent to the GY, I can Set the Trap Double Hooking from my GY!"
No-Shuffle President: "Fifth strike!
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon destroys your effect-less Slifer the Sky Dragon."
No-Shuffle President: "Chaos MAX deals piercing and doubles the damage—lose 8000 LP!"
After the Blue-Eyes family bucket's banquet, A Set of Twelve Gods' LP dropped to 15,500.
He still had a massive Life lead.
And on his field, only a single monster remained—Yubel, which cannot be destroyed by battle.
Facing Yubel, he clearly had to stop.
If he kept attacking, the damage would only hit him instead.
No-Shuffle President: "Main Phase 2!"
No-Shuffle President: "I activate One Day of Peace."
"Each player draws 1 card from their Deck.
Until the end of your opponent's next turn, all damage each player takes becomes 0."
"I activate Monster Reborn."
Without a doubt, that one draw ripped him a revival card.
But what can Blue-Eyes revive?
Revive Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
No-Shuffle President: "You think I'll revive Blue-Eyes?"
No-Shuffle President: "No!
The monster I revive is—your Fusion Parasite that you used earlier!"
"That's right!
Special Summon Fusion Parasite, then start Fusion with its effect!"
"I fuse it with my Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon on the field!"
"Come—my true ultimate ace!"
"Dragon Master Magia!"
It's over.
Now it's over.
The parasite got reverse-used.
The Blue-Eyes family bucket lost the one-swing king, but in exchange he brought out the real "Kang-Master."
The true Blue-Eyes trump card.
A boss whose Summoning conditions are extremely difficult without new supports.
5000 ATK—pressure and suppression maxed out.
Joey Wheeler: "Sick!
One out-of-nowhere line and he pulled the tri-colored 'Kang'!
He won't even fear giving the turn back now!"
Mai Valentine: "Tch—so this is Blue-Eyes' true power?
This Dragon Master Magia is going to be hard to answer!"
Chazz Princeton: "Not so sure, not so sure.
Keep watching—this opponent pulls too many tricks!
Who knows what's next?"
Alexis Rhodes: "Agreed.
Let's keep observing.
He might crack it even further."
The group chat instantly felt their skin crawl from this resource reversal into a counterplay.
Dragon Master Magia brings powerful negation.
It can definitely interrupt the opponent's development.
And without Nordic Relic Svalinn, the Aesir side can't use that Continuous Trap to negate.
Advantage belongs to Blue-Eyes.
No-Shuffle President: "I activate The Melody of Awakening Dragon."
No-Shuffle President: "I discard 1 card to add Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon to my hand."
No-Shuffle President: "I Set 4 cards."
"Turn end."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "At your End Phase, Odin, Father of the Aesir activates from my GY."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "The turn it was destroyed and sent to the GY by your effect, during the End Phase, I banish one 'Nordic' Tuner to Special Summon it from the GY."
A Set of Twelve Gods: "I banish Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant to revive it!"
No-Shuffle President: "Useless.
Trash is just trash."
No-Shuffle President: "Dragon Master Magia—negate your Odin!"
All right.
Even Odin is gone.
That so-called theoretical immortality is gone.
Even the grave bounce-party is over.
This Valkyrie seemed to be the key piece.
After this, there doesn't seem to be any more revival routes.
If Odin could have returned to the field, there might still have been a sliver of a comeback to crack the Blue-Eyes family bucket.
But with Dragon Master Magia standing there—
What are you even supposed to use to deal with Blue-Eyes' full family bucket?!
