Ice crystals flutter, a white storm sweeps through, and the Elemental Hero in white armor slowly descends as if walking on a transparent path.
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, Attack Power 2500]
"One of the most powerful Elemental Heroes, possessing the ability to freeze everything at 'Absolute Zero', huh?" Fujino gritted his teeth, "Damn, at such a critical moment, you still summon such a troublesome thing..."
"Activate the Magic Card 'Advance Draw' from my hand, using the level eight monster on the field as a tribute to draw two cards from the deck.
I use the level eight 'Elemental Hero Absolute Zero' as a tribute to draw two cards!"
Fujino's pupils shrank, realizing something was wrong.
Oh no, this guy's effect is...
Absolute Zero's heels hadn't even steadied before his form dissipated and transformed into two beams of golden light heading into Youyu's deck.
Though he had disappeared, the snowstorm that dominated the whole field became even more menacing than when he was present. The storm raged, white snow covered the devastated Tokyo Bay, and the surrounding buildings, broken walls, and glass were all frozen, making the earth shine like a dazzling mirror.
"The effect of 'Elemental Hero Absolute Zero'! When he leaves the field, all monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed," Youyu shouted, "So according to this effect, 'Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju' is destroyed!
Absolute Zero!"
The absolute freezing turned the coastal area into an ice glacier in an instant! Ice crystals spread across the city, freezing even the vast seawater into a crystalline transparent ice layer!
The King of Kaiju had no resistance against the ice-snow hero, quickly freezing and shattering into powder.
"Damn." Fujino frowned, "These never-ending heroes are really annoying."
Glancing at the two new cards drawn, Youyu immediately played one of them: "Quick-Play Magic 'Mystical Space Typhoon', destroy one Magic or Trap Card on the field.
I destroy your face-down set card in the backfield!"
A black whirlwind rose, storming with pale lightning, rushing towards Fujino's backfield!
Now Fujino's field had lost the protection of Kaiju, and that set card in the backfield was clearly his final defense line. If that trap is dismantled, he will face Youyu's onslaught undefended!
Currently, the only monster remaining on Youyu's field is 'Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju', and Fujino, with only 800 Life Points left, clearly can't withstand Radian's attack.
Dying at the hands of the Kaiju you gave someone would be too laughable!
Fujino certainly couldn't let that happen, and with a wave of his hand: "Then I activate the set card! Trap Card 'Waboku'!
For this turn only, I receive zero battle damage!"
Once the trap was activated, it took effect, and the ferocious whirlwind pounced in vain, with a holy white shield enveloping Fujino within.
Waboku, one of the strongest defensive trap cards. As long as this shield protects, at least within one turn, it provides virtual invincibility.
"Relying on a trap to scrape by for another turn."
Youyu said expressionless, his hands evidently still moving without pause.
"Then from my hand, activate Continuous Magic 'Opening of the Spirit Gates'."
Fujino: "!? What's this card?"
Only to see the ice-sealed coastline's terrain change once more, rising golden pillars from the ground! The ice crystals on the ground split open, seven twisted pillars stood in the city, connected by lightning as if exchanging energy through electricity.
It appeared similar to the Phantasm Seal Array on Duel Academy Island.
"Continuous Magic 'Opening of the Spirit Gates' allows any phantasm card to be added to the hand from the deck upon activation."
The light of the seven pillars surged, and the current suddenly became extremely active. A highly concentrated energy gathered at the center of the seven pillars, a golden lightning descended from the sky, precisely striking the energy focal point, seemingly transforming a card within the swirling electric light.
The card lightly fell and landed securely in Youyu's hand.
He flipped the card over for display: "I add the phantasm 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder' to my hand."
"Hamon... Lord?" Fujino's pupils slightly contracted.
Could this guy really... intend to summon a phantasm here?
"Continuous Magic 'Opening of the Spirit Gates', activate second effect!" Youyu said, "Once per turn, discard one card from the hand to special summon a Fiend-Type monster with attack and defense of 0 from the graveyard!
I discard one card from my hand to special summon 'Dark Summoning Beast' from the graveyard!"
A black pillar burst from the Netherworld, bringing forth a hideous demon with wide wings and a long tail.
[Dark Summoning Beast, Attack Power 0]
"At this moment, the effect of 'Card of Safe Return'! Youyu said, "Because a monster is special summoned from the graveyard, I draw three cards!
Next is the effect of 'Dark Summoning Beast'! Sacrifice itself to special summon any phantasm from the hand or deck, ignoring summoning conditions!"
As the words fell, the hideous demon had already flapped its wings, turning into black sludge and disappearing without a trace from the field.
Thunder rolled, lightning descended from the horizon, and the towering spectral image of the golden demon emerged from the sky!
"Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, appears!!!"
Lightning tore through the sky, electric light exploded on the ground! The gigantic demon's body seemed to be covered in armor forged of bones, the golden demonic deity shaking the earth!
[Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, Attack Power 4000]
"Phantasm." Fujino looked up at the colossal form, his voice unintentionally lowering to a hum, "Damn, this desolate excuse of a place on Earth really is full of troublesome things..."
But he promptly added: "Though phantasm's attacks still mean nothing, this turn you can't deal me any battle damage."
"I know." Youyu slowly drew another card from his hand, "My goal wasn't battle damage anyway.
From my hand, activate Continuous Magic 'Thunder of Fallen'!"
Lightning struck the sky once more, with electric light descending from the heavens, forming armor of thunder that enveloped Hamon entirely.
Fujino looked at the magnificent effects, somewhat concerned.
This Continuous Magic... is it a support card specifically for Hamon?
"Set a card face-down, ending my turn."
"This guy... actually brought out phantasms." Fujino furrowed his brows.
Though he possesses Light of Destruction and doesn't fear these gods and demons of Earth, these guys appearing one after another is quite troublesome.
A solution must be found quickly.
"My turn, draw!"
With a new card in hand, upon seeing it, his eyes instantly brightened, his mouth curling as he began to laugh wildly.
"Phantasms, huh? This power is completely powerless before Kaiju! Now let me show you what true Kaiju power looks like!
From my hand, I activate—
—Magic Card 'Interrupted Kaiju Slumber'!"
That card certainly seemed to possess extraordinary power. As the card projection appeared on the field, the entire venue shook, as if something below and in the ocean couldn't wait to burst out!
"The dormant Kaiju will awaken from slumber, devouring everything!" Fujino shouted, "Interrupted Kaiju Slumber destroys all monsters on both sides of the field!
Then select two Kaiju with different names from your deck to special summon in attack position to both fields!"
