The forced defense, that terrifying momentum finally seemed to weaken slightly. Unabara Ryusuke barely managed to take a deep breath.
"The infinite attack LOOP was also blocked, not bad, not bad." Yugen expressed approval, with a smile, "Then the 'Magician of Continuous Fire' also switches to defense mode, ending the turn."
"My turn, draw a card!"
Unabara Ryusuke shouted.
Revolver, this guy is too dangerous.
He had never experienced such an exaggerated duel in his life, as if with every turn he let the opponent take, he was dancing on the edge of the blade of the God of Death.
And it would be an extremely miserable death.
This turn, he must summon his strongest ace!
"'Atlantis' effect, Water Attribute Level 7 in hand becomes Level 6." Unabara Ryusuke declared, "Therefore, I sacrifice the 'Dark Fortress Whale' for an Upper-level Summon!
My signature monster, the Sovereign of the Ocean—
—Sea Dragon Creator, summon!!!"
The water of the underwater city churned into a murky mess, countless bubbles flying chaotically, and the sea blue Water Dragon raised its head and roared!
[Sea Dragon Creator, Attack Power 2600]
"Sea Dragon Creator's effect, by sending the Field Spell 'Sea' to the graveyard, all cards on the field except this one are destroyed!
I send Atlantis, which can be used as 'Sea', to the graveyard, Sea Dragon Creator, obliterate everything!"
The Sea Dragon roared, and the underwater city collapsed in the sound of its roar! Every drop of seawater seemed to obey the Sea Dragon's command, turning into a turbulent flood that swept across the field!
Total destruction, a table-flipping style violent board wipe.
"Then a direct attack from Sea Dragon Creator!"
A whirlpool of water sprayed from the Sea Dragon's mouth, exploding like a high-pressure water cannon in front of Yugen.
[Yugen, LP 4000→ LP 1400]
"Hahaha, this is my strongest power, the Sea Dragon Creator with the power to sweep everything away!"
The success of the attack seemed to greatly boost Unabara Ryusuke's confidence.
Next turn, as long as it reaches the next turn...
"My turn, draw a card." Yugen said, "Activate Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from hand."
Two cards were discarded, and a burst of golden light emerged from his graveyard.
"One of the discarded cards is 'Card of Compensation', which allows me to draw two more cards from the deck when sent to the graveyard."
"Then I Normal Summon 'Eye Monster'."
[Eye Monster, Defense Power 350]
Several single-eyed eye balls floated onto the field, looking like a kind of creepy monster that would drain sanity.
Unabara Ryusuke frowned.
What is he up to now?
"The other card discarded by Angel's Charity is 'Executioner Demon Asura', so this turn I can activate a Trap Card from my hand."
Yugen said.
"Activate Continuous Trap 'Call of the Living Dead' from the hand. Revive 'Magician of Continuous Fire' in Attack Position from the graveyard."
[Magician of Continuous Fire, Attack Power 1600]
"This thing again?" Unabara Ryusuke frowned, "But now you only have at most one 'Abyssal Assassin', and you don't have Magic Stone Mining.
Even summoning this back, the infinite LOOP is already not feasible..."
"Indeed."
Yugen casually smiled.
"Next, activate Continuous Magic 'Brain Development Research Institute' from the hand. As long as this card is on the field, whenever a Telekinesis Race monster on your side of the field activates its monster effect that requires paying Life Points, you can instead place a Telekinesis Counter on this card instead of paying Life Points."
"Telekinesis Race?" Unabara Ryusuke frowned, "But you don't have any Telekinesis Race monsters on the field... Oh, you want to burn more Life Points with the effect of Magician of Continuous Fire?"
"No, the effect of Magician of Continuous Fire is only triggered when you activate a Normal Magic Card; Brain Development Research Institute is a Continuous Magic." Yugen said.
"However, I then activate the Magic Card 'Magic Regeneration' from my hand. Discard two Magic Cards from my hand to recover a Magic Card from the graveyard to my hand."
A lower tier version of Magic Stone Mining, which also discards two cards to recover one Magic, but is limited to discarding Magic Cards. So even though Yugen now only has one Abyssal Assassin, having two wouldn't help either.
Magic Regeneration cannot replace Magic Stone Mining's role in this LOOP.
"I discard two Magic Cards from my hand to recover 'Magic Stone Mining' from the graveyard." Yugen said, "Effect of Magician of Continuous Fire, inflict 400 points of damage."
[Unabara Ryusuke, LP 2800→LP 2400]
"So what?" Unabara Ryusuke replied icily, "You can use Magic Stone Mining to recover Magic Regeneration, but the cards you discarded can't be recovered. This can't achieve an infinite LOOP..."
"That's not necessarily true." Yugen smiled, "Eye Monster's effect, pay 1000 Life Points to return a 'Fusion' Magic Card from your graveyard to your hand.
And this effect doesn't have a once-per-turn restriction."
Unabara Ryusuke: "?"
Recover Fusion from the graveyard?
"Yes, so by paying 2000 Life Points, I can return two 'Fusion' Magic Cards from the graveyard to my hand." Yugen said.
Unabara Ryusuke's pupils shrank, as if suddenly understanding something.
Right.
Discard two Fusions, activate "Magic Regeneration" to recover "Magic Stone Mining". Then use Eye Monster's effect to recover two Fusions, then discard two Fusions, activate "Magic Stone Mining" to recover "Magic Regeneration"...
Another infinite LOOP!
He panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.
"No, Eye Monster's recovery requires paying Life Points, and one cycle costs 2000 points. Where are you getting so many Life Points..."
Then he glared at the "Brain Development Research Institute" on Yugen's field, seemingly realizing something all of a sudden, his pupils shrinking.
"Do you have... still have... in your hand?"
"Oh? You guessed it? You have good insight." Yugen smiled.
"Effect of Executioner Demon Asura, activate Trap Card from the hand.
Continuous Trap 'DNA Surgery', which changes all monsters on the field to the declared race.
What I'm declaring, of course, is 'Telekinesis Race'."
With this, the Eye Monster becomes of the Telekinesis Race. And as long as "Brain Development Research Institute" is on the field, Telekinesis Race monsters do not need to pay Life Points to activate effects.
The final piece of the puzzle has been completed.
Unabara Ryusuke twitched, barely able to believe what he was seeing and what was about to happen.
A century-old joke.
Another endless LOOP upon a LOOP?
Within this single duel!?
"Eye Monster's effect, pay 2000 Life Points to recover two 'Fusion' Magic Cards. Of course, with 'Brain Development Research Institute', I don't pay Life Points to recover two Fusions."
"Activate 'Magic Stone Mining', discard two Fusions, recover 'Magic Regeneration' from the graveyard."
"Effect of Magician of Continuous Fire, inflict 400 points of damage."
"Eye Monster's effect, recover two 'Fusions'. Then activate the Magic Card 'Magic Regeneration', discard two Fusions, recover 'Magic Stone Mining'."
"Effect of Magician of Continuous Fire, inflict 400 points of damage."
Four hundred points of damage, one after another, like a relentless bee, stinging Unabara Ryusuke endlessly...
The whole field fell silent.
No one spoke, nor dared to speak.
Dark Web people, market people, everyone quietly watched this scene, watching their manager suffer this cruel ordeal in the duel.
Finally, after countless cycles.
"Effect of Magician of Continuous Fire, 400 points of damage." Yugen lightly smiled, "Sorry, but it looks like... you're done for."
[Unabara Ryusuke, LP 0]
Unabara Ryusuke: "......"
