Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

"Silent Swordsman Zero, Level 4/Light/Warrior" "ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000"

"If 'Tricolor Parts' is successfully Special Summoned, add 1 Spell/Trap Card from your Deck that contains 'Golden Chest of Light' to your hand, Set 1 card, and then proceed to the Battle Phase. 'Tricolor Parts' attacks you directly, Uncle Logan!"

"When you attack directly, activate the effect of 'Blackwing - Heatwave Kiburi' from your hand."

As soon as You Xi finished speaking, the "three-color parts" rushed towards Logan.

However, at the same time, Logan also revealed one of his cards, which was his trump card to save his life.

"When the opponent declares a direct attack, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand."

"Chain activation of the quick-attack spell: 'Silence Against the Future'!"

[Silence Against the Future (Quick-Play Spell): Add 1 monster with the name "Golden Chest of Light" from your Deck to your hand. If you control "Golden Chest of Light" and a monster with its name on your field, and you activate this card during your or your opponent's Battle Phase, both players draw cards until they have 6 cards in their hand.]

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Yu Xi quickly played the card she had just retrieved using "Three-Color Parts".

"Based on this card's effect, I added 'Incremental Marshmallow' from my deck to my hand, and then both players drew six cards each."

Aside from the "Incremental Cotton Candy" card that he had already obtained, Yu Xi had no other cards in his hand and drew 5 cards in one go.

Logan then drew three more cards.

Then, "Hot Wind Kibli" jumped out of his hand, blocking the attack route of "Tricolor Parts" with a defense of up to 1600.

Not only "Hot Wind Kibli", Logan then took out another card from his newly drawn deck.

"If the effect of 'Blackwing - Breeze of Briz' is activated, and this card is added to your hand from your Deck by the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster, Special Summon this card from your hand."

Using the card draw opportunity granted by "Silence for the Future," Logan plans to add another layer of tankiness to his front line, but Yuki is not unprepared either.

"Quick-attack spell: 'Time Silence' activated!"

A new emerald green spell appeared beside her. Yu Xi said, "Target 1 face-up monster you control; that monster's Level increases by 3. And if my control contains 'Golden Chest of Light' or a related monster, and a chain monster effect is activated by my opponent, negate that effect."

"I've raised 'Silent Swordsman Zero' to level 7, negating the effect of 'Breeze of the Breeze'."

As his level increases, "Silent Swordsman Zero" also undergoes the same changes as "Silent Magician Zero." He grows rapidly from a young boy into a dashing young man, and his attack power also increases to 2500 points.

"Silent Magician Zero" adds even more.

"Because you drew three cards, 'Silent Magician Zero' has gained 3 stars and its attack power has increased by 4500. 'Silent Swordsman Zero' attacks 'Hot Wind Kibli'!"

"Silent Swordsman Zero," now in his youth form, wielded a greatsword and leaped high into the air, delivering a jumping slash to Logan's only monster on the field.

With a score of over 2000, "Silent Swordsman Zero" is more than capable of defeating "Hot Wind Kibli".

Once it's dealt with, the subsequent damage output from "Gandora Forbidden" and "Silent Magician Zero" will be enough to wipe out Logan's remaining health.

That's what You Xi thought.

However, when "Silent Swordsman Zero" actually struck with his greatsword, he failed to shake the bird-beast with a mere 1600 points of defense.

"This is……"

"I activated the effect of this card."

Logan spoke coldly, explaining the reason for this phenomenon: "Discarding 'Blackwing - Jet of the Azure Sky' from your hand negates one battle destruction attempt by a 'Blackwing' monster."

"...Besides 'Gentle Breeze Kiburi,' did you also draw this hand trap?"

You Xi couldn't help but frown slightly; it was such a pity that it was so close.

"Then let's try to take as much damage as possible. 'Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Forbidden' breaks 'Hot Wind Kiburi,' then 'Silence Magician - Zero' attacks directly with 'Zero's Silence Blast'!"

The scorching dragon breath finally incinerated the troublesome monster into ashes, and the magical light that followed struck Logan as if in retaliation for the recent attack by the Earthbound God.

Logan LP: 6300 → 1800

Although they couldn't instantly defeat Logan, the basic score was at least brought back to the same level, so it can be said that the effort in this round was not in vain.

Yu Xi concluded, "I'll set two more cards face down, and this turn will end. During the End Phase, due to the effect of 'Marg Dragon,' I'll add all Dragon-Type monsters from my Deck to my hand."

"It's my turn."

With the final Dragon card added to the deck, Yuki and Logan's turn was completed.

The latter drew cards from the deck and then, without hesitation, placed the cards he had previously retrieved into the Duel Disk.

"Main Phase 1, Field Spell: 'Clockwork' activated."

Chapter 227 The King's Memory Replicated

"Ok?"

In the deepest part of the hall, the high priest, who was presiding over the ceremony, slightly raised his head and looked behind him.

There was no one behind him, which was natural.

To ensure the smooth conduct of the ceremony and prevent any unnecessary interference or disruption, the high priest had no intention of having anyone other than himself participate in the process from the outset.

But the high priest could sense that someone was using his power.

Is this feeling... of a flying eagle?

Indeed, he only granted Eagle the privilege of using his own "Earthbound" deck, making Eagle a hybrid of Logan and himself. However, it was unexpected that someone could actually get past Eagle; making Eagle the final barrier was definitely the right choice.

"...Wait, what is this...?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the high priest's eyes: "They've even used the 'Demon Bell Cave'? Just who is Flying Eagle's opponent...?"

……

When it was Logan's turn, after Logan's usual draw and preparation phase, Yuki's two "Silent" monsters each gained 1 star and 500 attack power. They reached a level where they could easily crush not only "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" but also its evolved form, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".

But immediately afterward, under Yu Xi's serious gaze, Logan played a card without hesitation.

"—Field spell: 'Clockwork Cave' activated!"

The surrounding environment was replaced once again. The original dark blue flames and huge hall were transformed into deep cave tunnels, with Logan standing in front of the passage, looking like a one-man army that could not break through.

This is true.

"As long as 'Clockwork' exists on the field, the player with more monsters on the field cannot activate monster effects or declare an attack."

Based on this single effect, "Clockwork" can be listed as the most vicious and evil field spell in history. It is also the only card that currently enjoys the "blacklist" treatment and is the eternal soul of heavy trap beatdown decks.

To be honest, Yu Xi personally likes this card quite a bit; it has helped her a lot in the past.

But when you become the enemy on the other side, the difficulty level is self-evident.

"You now have 4 monsters on your field, while I have 0. Therefore, it is your side whose monster powers will be sealed."

Yuki's field has virtually no monsters that can be used at second speed, so Logan played this card more to prevent Yuki from using a hand trap—he hadn't forgotten that Yuki used "Mag Dragon" to search for the new "Abyssal Beast" last turn. However, he currently has no monsters on the field, so "Abyssal Beast" cannot function as a hand trap.

In this way, we can ignore troublesome things like "Abyssal Beasts" and "Effect Maskers".

Of course, we also need to find a way to deal with Yu Xi's few cards.

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Temptation of Darkness,' draw 2 cards from your Deck, then banish the DARK card 'Britz the Breeze.' Next, activate the Continuous Spell Card: 'Card of Survival,' then activate the effect of 'Blackwing - Great Banner of the Great Banner' in your Graveyard."

Logan retrieved two cards from the graveyard and said, "Ban the Level 1 'Great Banner of the Vanguard' and the Level 6 'Blackwing - Simon of the Poisonous Wind,' then Synchro Summon a 'Blackwing' monster of the same Level from the Extra Deck. Come forth, 'Assault Blackwing - Thunder Cutter Bird of Sudden Rain'!"

"Strike Blackwing - Thunder Cutter Bird, Level 7/Dark/Winged Beast/Synchro" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000"

Following the guidance of his kin in the cemetery, a stunning bolt of lightning struck down, and a bird-man warrior wielding a katana appeared beside Logan, exuding a chilling aura.

"If 'Rainy Day Thunder Cutter Bird' is successfully Special Summoned, the effect of 'Blackwing Whirlwind' activates, Special Summoning 'Blackwing - Heat Breeze Kiburi' from the Graveyard in Defense Position. Alternatively, use the effect of 'Life Summon' to draw 1, then Normal Summon 'South Wind Oster', activating its effect to Special Summon back the banished 'Blackwing - Storm Sand Shima' in Defense Position."

Summon the lower-level "Blackwing" monster that was retrieved using "Shāma of the Storm" during the first turn, and call its brethren back from the dimensional portal. In an instant, Logan has a total of 4 monsters on his field.

In this way, apart from the "Rainbow Thunder Cutter Bird", there are 3 "Black Feathers", enough for the "Rainbow Thunder Cutter Bird" to unleash a thunderous blade that turns all of Yuki's cards into dust.

—But this is the moment that You Xi has been waiting for!

"Now! Open the card!"

Yu Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly pressed the start button, and the cover under his feet flipped open—

"Sustainability Trap: 'Dimensional Mirror' activated!"

【Dimensional Reflector (Continuous Trap): ①: You can banish 2 monsters you control, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls to activate this card. After activation, this card becomes an Effect Monster (Spellcaster/DARK/Level 4/ATK/DEF?) with the same ATK and DEF as the targeted monster, and is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone in Attack Position. This card is also treated as a Trap Card.】

"Remove 'Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden' and 'Tricolor Parts' from the game, and activate this effect targeting 'Strike Blackwing - Thunder Cutter Bird'."

The monster card whose name was called turned into specks of light and disappeared, and the mirror in the card art reflected the figure of the Synchro Monster.

What appears to be a simple trap monster summoning actually conceals Yuki's intense killing intent.

"When 'Dimensional Reflector' is successfully Special Summoned using this effect, it deals damage equal to the opponent's ATK."

Yu Xi said to Logan, "The 'Rain of Lightning Slash Bird' has an attack power of 2600, and you will also take 2600 damage!"

Logan LP: 1800

After the retaliatory attack from "Silent Magician Zero" in the last round, Logan's health is not very good. If he suffers this surprise attack, his health will be completely depleted.

"Furthermore, I have even fewer monsters on my side now, and due to the limitations of 'Clockwork Cave,' even if you have 'Lower Moon Bow Bird' in your graveyard, you can't use its effect."

By using Logan's "Clock Hole" to suppress any possibility of resistance, Yuki was determined to succeed in this attack.

Logan's response to Youxi's "surprise attack" was also quite simple.

"A chain reaction of quick-attack magic: 'Mysterious Chinese Pot'."

A bright green card appeared in front of Logan, and a large cauldron appeared beneath his monster.

"Based on this card's effect, release 'Blackwing - Shima of the Storm Sands' to restore Life Points equal to its ATK: 1600."

Logan LP: 1800 → 3400

"Is it 'Natsuma of Arashi no Nama' that's being liberated, and not 'Raikiri no Naga'?"

In an instant, Youxi understood Logan's reason for doing this.

Compared to health points, it's clear that "Rainbow Slash Bird" is more worth protecting. Logan still intends to use "Rainbow Slash Bird" to break the deadlock.

However, he also has ways to deal with it.
