The pitch-black dimensional cave opened, and five Magnet Warriors were successively absorbed into the other dimension, quickly disappearing without a trace.
This way, all the "Beta The Electromagnet Warrior" on the field and in the graveyard were gone. Only Alpha and Gamma couldn't combine to form "Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior".
Moreover, this "Soul Release" also happened to banish all the ammunition stored in his graveyard. Now, even if Yugi managed to draw another "Beta The Electromagnet Warrior", and summon Berserkion again, he wouldn't have any ammunition to clear the field.
Thus, most of the resources Yugi had accumulated until now were destroyed in one blow.
"Set one card, end turn!"
Tragoedia laughed grimly, looking as if he had regained his confidence in victory, the arrogant expression on his face practically saying "The pillar is back.".
Yugi, however, remained calm.
"Then it's my turn... Draw!" Yugi said.
Tragoedia watched him draw with a smug smirk.
Heh, go ahead, draw.
Even if you somehow print a Beta out, it won't make any difference...
"Magic Card 'Owner's Seal'!" Yugi waved his hand grandly, "All monsters on the field return to their original owners!"
Nani!!?
Tragoedia's eyes nearly popped out.
Damn, the Duel King is this violent when he prints cards!? At least if you masked it a bit and printed a Forbidden Card like "Raigeki", I'd say it's just good luck. But you, damn it, printed my lobster's nemesis!?
Raigeki, Magic Card, destroys all monsters on the opponent's field. It appeared in the DM animation and was clearly stated as a Forbidden Card in the animation.
But actually, this "Owner's Seal" wasn't even printed on the spot; it's one of those "meaningless" cards that Atem used in the past, which Yugi kept in his deck.
Strictly speaking, it's still a God draw...
But Little Lobster also says it doesn't matter!
"Counter Trap 'Magic Drain'!" Little Lobster waved his hand grandly, "Negate the opponent's Magic Card activation! However, the opponent can discard a Magic Card from their hand to negate this effect."
He squinted as he watched Yugi's hand closely, glancing with the corner of his eye at the two other Set Cards he had on the field.
If he could negate it here, that would be best, but even if it doesn't work, he has more tricks up his sleeve.
However, Yugi seemed to abandon this chance to negate, letting "Magic Drain" nullify his "Owner's Seal."
Tragoedia sneered.
Heh, seems like he doesn't have any other Magic Cards in hand, huh?
However, Yugi merely cracked a smile, one that sent a chill down Tragoedia's spine.
"You probably think I don't have any other Magic Cards, right? Well, that's not exactly true." Yugi slowly drew a card from his hand.
The ominous feeling inside Tragoedia was reaching its peak.
"I activate this card... Magic Card 'Change of Heart'!"
Tragoedia felt as if struck by lightning.
Nani!!??
"The effect of 'Change of Heart' allows you to gain control of a monster for this turn only!" Yugi pointed at the opponent's field, "I want control of 'Tragoedia'!"
Tragoedia: "!!??"
F***, you're actually taking it from me!?
You jerk, ahhh!!!
Tragoedia stupidly watched as his own counterpart's expression changed, seemingly really being brainwashed and turned by the effect of the Magic Card, without thinking, running over to Yugi's side of the field...
Tragoedia: I, the shrimp, am dumbfounded.JPG
Honestly, being NTR'd by oneself is a rare experience not everyone can have, and Tragoedia was very honored to experience it this time...
He certainly tried to use his counterpart's dark miasma to erode Yugi's spirit—if some other Duelist dared to take his counterpart during a duel, they might have really been affected.
But unfortunately, this First Duel King's spirit was so resilient it hardly resembled a normal human. Not to mention having the protection of the Millennium Pendant, after some sneaky attempts by little lobster, he had no choice but to abandon this enticing idea.
He even felt somewhat defeated, thinking that the opponent might not have noticed his efforts at all...
"The effect of 'Tragoedia' activates." Yugi said, "Once per turn, discard a monster from your hand to take control of a monster on your opponent's field with the same level.
I discard the level eight 'Soldier Gaia The Fierce Knight' from my hand, and reclaim control of 'Valkyrion the Magna Warrior'!"
Seeing the hard-gained control of Valkyrion being regained by Yugi—using its own effect, no less—Tragoedia currently felt like... no, the whole shrimp just didn't feel right.
From his perspective, it was somewhat like this —
——I barely took control of the monster, only for the me that was taken over to take it back.
Okay, it sounds odd, but that's roughly the gist of it.
Is this what they call do unto others what you would have them do unto you?
"Next, I activate the Magic Card 'Fusion' from my hand!" Yugi raised his hand high, "I fuse 'Valkyrion the Magna Warrior' on the field with the 'Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior' in my hand!"
Tragoedia was startled.
The fusion of the two ace Magnet Warriors?
What kind of thing could this possibly create!?
The two ace Magnet Warriors fused into a vortex, and a vast powerful energy erupted. A beam of light, like a waterfall pouring from the sky, crashed onto the ground, sharp swords cutting open the curtain, releasing a majestic mechanical shadow!
The upper body of the Magnet Warrior is metallic, resembling a centaur, its iron hooves shattering the ground, its sword blades radiating electric light.
Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot, Fusion Summon!!!
[Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot, ATK 4000]
The true ultimate form of the Magnet Warriors, the most powerful magnetic war god!
Tragoedia felt immense pressure from this brand new Magnet Warrior, a huge sense of crisis loomed in his mind.
But no matter what, he cannot let this opportunity pass!
"Activate Set Card!" He waved his hand strongly, "Trap 'Ruinous Future'! When the opponent summons a monster, your LP is halved, that monster is destroyed, and you deal damage to the opponent equal to its attack power!" (A card from the original work)
[Tragoedia, LP 3900→ LP 1950]
Though unsure of the effects of this big magnetic ace, its attack power is four thousand!
As long as this trap's damage goes through, it should instantly kill!
The trap activated, and dangerous flames erupted! The blaze, like an out-of-control dragon, twisted its body and quickly rushed at the Magnet Warrior, baring its fangs and claws!
Yet Imperion Magnum just raised its arm leisurely... one slash!
Like a sword carrying unstoppable will, seemingly sufficient to negate everything in the world! The flames emitted by the trap were instantly shattered and dissipated!
Tragoedia's pupils shrank.
"How is it possible!?"
"Imperion Magnum's effect." Yugi said, "Once per turn, negate and destroy the activation of any monster effects, magic, or trap cards!"
Tragoedia's expression almost twisted.
Magnet Warriors... harbouring such terrifying power?
Could this really be the end for Tragoedia?
Losing to a human!?
I can't accept it, ahhh!!!
However, the world does not change based on human will... and lobsters are no exception.
"Battle." Yugi said, "Final blow. 'Imperion Magnum's direct attack!"
Electromagnetic force filled the arena, transforming into an electromagnetic storm! Streams of electric currents twined around the sword held by the Magnet Warrior, the electric light bursting like thunder.
One slash, straight and resolute.
As if to cut even the darkness itself in half.
[Tragoedia, LP 1950 →LP 0]
