Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"What!?"

A green emblem flew out of the trap card and imprinted itself on the body of the [Ruler of Color]. Soon, green electricity surged from the emblem, preventing the [Ruler of Color] from releasing the triangular color block.

This made Yuma sense that something was amiss:

"Oh no... This means we can't stop him from placing that card. We need to think of another way..."

With that thought in mind, Yuma immediately raised his hand and slapped the card he had just drawn onto his D panel.

"Then, I Normal Summon from my hand! [Rage Rage Rage Dwarf - Rumble Rage Gloves]!"

Amidst the surging of light, a warrior wearing a deep red bull-horned helmet, covered in green fur, and with huge metal gloves on his arms appeared on Yuma's field.

Yuma then immediately activated the effect of [Rage Rage Rage Dwarf - Rumble Rumble Gloves]:

"Then, I activate the effect of [Rumble Gloves]! During your Main Phase, you can Special Summon 1 [Shrugged] monster or [GagGag] monster from your hand once per turn!"

Come on, [I am the Emperor!]!

Another card fell from Yuma's hand onto the D board, and a figure dressed in white with a white fur shawl and a dark red cape, holding a scepter and with blue hair appeared on Yuma's field.

only……

"Level 4 and Level 3 monsters? We can't Xyz Summon them like that."

Faced with the throne's seemingly sarcastic words, Yuma simply nodded:

“I know, but I have a way! Now, I'll activate [I, I, I the Emperor]…”

However, before Yuma could even shout out the effect of "[I am the Emperor]", he heard the voice of the astral body ring in his ears:

"Wait, Yuma, don't rush to activate the [I Am the Emperor] effect! Take a look at the [Onomatopoeia Selection] effect first!"

"Oh, let me see..."

Yuma is no longer the little brat who used to argue with Astral about everything. After hearing Astral's reminder, he carefully examined the [Onomatopoeia Choice] and his eyes gradually brightened.

As for the throne, now enhanced by the energy shield and the power of the emblem, it could see the astral body reminding Yuma of his presence, and immediately curled its lip in disdain.

As for Youma, after seeing another effect of [onomatopoeia selection], he immediately changed his approach:

"Then, I activate the other effect of [Onomatopoeia Selection]! This effect can be activated once per turn by targeting any one of the following monsters on your field: [Shrug], [Girl Girl Girl], [Rumble Rumble Rumble], or [Rage Rage Rage]!"

The Levels of all monsters you control become the same as the Level of the selected monster until the end of this turn!

As he spoke, Yuma pointed to the [Rumble Gloves] on his field.

"I choose to make the Level of all the monsters on my field the same as the Level of [Rumble Glove]!"

That being said, Yuma currently only has three monsters on the field: [Color Dominator], [Rumble Glove], and [GaGaGa Emperor].

[Color Dominator] is an Xyz Monster, which has no level but only rank. Therefore, the only one that was ultimately affected was [Ga Ga Ga Emperor], which went from rank 3 to rank 4.

Yuma then began to sing:

"Now, I will stack the Level 4 [Rumble Gloves] and [I Am I Am Emperor]! I will build a stacking network with two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

Show yourself! White wings that carry hope! [No. 39]! Messenger of light, [Hope, the Emperor of Hope]!

As the platinum-colored warrior spread its wings and descended onto Yuma's field, Yuma pointed his finger at [Herald Beast Abercrombie Dragon] on the throne field.

"Attack! [Ruler of Color], attack [Abercombe]!"

In an instant, the triangular color block flew out from the [Color Dominator] once again, crashing heavily down on the body of [Abercombe Dragon], kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the group discovered that LP on the throne had not changed at all; only the monster figures on his field seemed to have changed from before.

"Oh dear, that was really dangerous—"

He drawled out his words, his tone full of amusement.

"Thank goodness, I activated this card!"

As the smoke and dust completely dissipated, the figure of the throne was revealed, along with the last trap card he had opened, and the monster on his field that resembled a rooster with dragon wings, encased in a brown steel dragon body.

Meanwhile, the Jade Throne leisurely explained the trap card she had opened to Yuma:

"This [Emblem Transformation] allows you to Special Summon one Level 4 or lower monster with [Emblem] in its name from your hand to your field during damage calculation. Then, the battle damage you take is reduced by 1000 times the Level of the Special Summoned monster. Then, you are forced to end your Battle Phase."

As he spoke, the Jade Throne's gaze turned to the monster on his field.

"This [Emblem Beast Basilisque] is a Level 4 monster, so I was able to reduce my combat damage by 4000 points just now. In other words, you failed to inflict combat damage on me."

"Tsukumo Yuma, now that the battle phase is over, what can you do?"

"I……"

Rejected by the words of the throne, Yuma looked dejectedly at his last remaining card and could only helplessly say...

"I... I'll end this round like this."

"Well then, it's my turn again—draw a card!"

He drew a card, his smile growing even brighter, and immediately revealed a card to Yuma.

"Then, I'll activate the Spell Card [Crest of Resurrection] from my hand! This card can be used to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster with [Crest] in its name from your Graveyard!"

Now, be reborn! [Abercrombie & Fitch]!

As the dark purple emblem lit up before this card, [Abercrombie & Fitch] returned to the Throne's field, and the Throne immediately revealed another card from its remaining two hands.

"Since I already have two monsters with 'Emblem' in their names, [Abercombe Wyvern] and [Basilisque], on my field, I will Normal Summon this [Emblem Beast Atmospheric Horned Beast] from my hand!"

In an instant, another monster, resembling a goat with long horns but with its head and back covered in dark blue and light blue steel armor, also appeared on the throne.

At that moment, the throne, in turn, began to boast to Yuma about the monsters on its field:

"Yuma Tsukumo! Now I have three Level 4 monsters on my field. Guess what will appear next!?"

Chapter 420 Absolute Suppression: The Emblem of Aegis

"Now, I will stack the Level 4 [Heral Beast Atmospheric Horned Beast] with [Abercombe Dragon] and [Basilisker]! I will construct a stacking network with three monsters! Xyz Summon!"

Unleash your fury! Appear! [No. 69 Emblem of the Aegis]!

As the Jade Throne raised his hands high, the scarlet emblem beneath his feet radiated a dazzling light, and a pair of pale white giant horns bearing the purple number "69" appeared first on the Jade Throne's field.

Then, emerging from this emblem array was a shield-like body, covered in black armor in addition to its white carapace, with its claws extending out like giant scythes.

However, the moment it appeared, the barrier constructed by the [Ruler of Color] flickered slightly.

This prompted the emperor to click his tongue slightly.

"What a troublesome effect, but soon it will become my power."

Having said that, the emperor pointed a finger at [Hope of the Royal Horse] on the parade ground and gave the order.

"Then, let the battle begin! [Crest of the Shield], attack [Hope of Hope]!"

The [Crest of the Aegis] has an attack power of 2500 points, which is just enough to defeat [Hope of the Emperor], but how could Yuma possibly let him succeed?

"I activate the effect of [Hope of the Emperor]! Remove one Xyz Material and negate one of the opponent's attacks! [Moon Goddess Shield]!"

In an instant, the platinum wings on [Hope]'s back transformed into a shield, forcefully blocking a slash from [Herald Shield].

"Phew—that was a close call."

However, what Yuma didn't know was that while he was feeling so relieved, the throne was scratching its chin with great interest:

"Huh? It actually has this effect? ​​Interesting..."

Immediately afterwards, the jade throne shrugged and said,

"Well then, that concludes my turn. But don't forget, my monster effects will activate after this turn."

"I know."

With a curt reply, Yuma placed his finger on the deck.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

After replenishing his hand to two cards, Yuma immediately thought of casting an effect lock on the throne, and raised his hand to say:

"Then, I'll activate the effect of [Color Dominator] again! Remove one Xyz Material, declare one type of card, and negate the effects of cards of that type until the end of your second turn!"

This time, I declare my monster cards once again!

However, although the supermaterial entered the horn on the head of the [Color Dominator], its effect was abruptly stopped as a grayish-white current surged through the [Color Dominator].

"What... exactly is..."

Seeing the shock of Yuma and Astral Entity, the throne smiled and said:

"I think I already mentioned it, right? My monster's effect will activate after the last turn. And the effect of [Crest of the Aegis] is..."

While this card is face-up on the field, negate the effects of all other Effect Monsters on the field! And this card gains the benefits of those negated effects!

"What? It actually has this effect!?"

After hearing about the effects described by the throne, Yuma gritted his teeth and immediately made up his mind.

"Damn it, I absolutely can't leave [Color Dominator] on the field this turn, otherwise it'll be too much trouble for [Emblem Shield] to activate [Color Dominator]'s effect!"

After thinking for a moment, Yuma immediately raised his hand and pointed to the [Crest of the Shield], saying:

"Then, let the battle begin! [Ruler of Color], attack [Crest of the Shield]!"

The throne, naturally understanding Yuma's intention, immediately joined in with a teasing smile:

"Oh? Even if it means using a monster with 2300 ATK and a monster with 2600 ATK, you still want to destroy the [Color Dominator] on your field? What a brilliant idea!"

But have you forgotten? I already said, the [Shield] now has the effects of all monsters on the field!

Having said that, the jade throne waved its hand and said abruptly,

"Now, [Crest of the Aegis] activates the effect of [Hope of the Emperor]! When the opponent declares an attack, remove one Xyz Material and nullify the attack!"

"hateful!"

Just as Yuma was secretly angry because his attack had failed, he heard the voice of the throne ring out once more:

"Oh, right, there's also the effect of [Crest of the Shield] itself! When a monster on your opponent's field declares an attack, you can detach 1 material and destroy 1 card on your opponent's field!"

And so, the throne smiled and pointed to [Hope] on the parade ground.

"The card I want to destroy is [Hope Royal Hope]!"
