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

However, this is also very useful for Yu Xi.

"This way, cards like 'Whirlwind' won't be able to affect my backrow Spell & Trap cards. Activate the effect of 'Horus's Glory Imset' in my hand!"

You Xi picked up her two cards and showed one of them.

Having just obtained this series during the trial at the Tower of Four Heavens, I immediately put it to use.

"Discard the card and the card it represents from your hand, add 'Coffin of the King' to your hand from your deck, and then draw 1 card."

"Then activate the Continuous Spell: 'King's Coffin'!"

The ground in front of Yuxi rumbled and shook, and a coffin with a solemn human figure carved on its surface emerged from the ground—this was the core card of the "Horus" series.

"The effect of 'King's Coffin' is: Discard 1 card from your hand, and you can send 1 'Horus' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. Then, if you control 'King's Coffin,' Special Summon 'Imset of Horus' and 'Domtef of Horus' from your Graveyard."

"Imset, the Glory of Horus, ATK: 3000"

"Horus's Blessing Domteif, ATK: 0"

The surface of the "King's Coffin" slid, and two beams of light leaped out from inside.

The light transformed into human figures, gleaming with golden light, the best soldiers to protect the royal family.

"Domteif's ATK and DEF increase by 1200 for each Horus monster it controls. Including itself, there are now 2 Horus monsters on the field, so its ATK becomes 2400. I've constructed a Light Network with my two Level 8 Horus monsters."

Youxi waved his arm, and the nebula vortex unfolded.

Two beams of soul light of different colors surged into it, releasing an even stronger wave of Feel.

"Research the most cutting-edge technology and stand at the forefront of the magical era! Xyz Summon, Rank 8, 'Thelma Tech Mage Clatters'!!"

"Thelma Tech Mage Kratos, Rank 8/Dark/Mage/Xyz" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 900"

Clad in silver-black magical armor and adorned with intricate magical runes, he made a dashing entrance from a nebula vortex, seemingly a mage who had seamlessly integrated the power of technology and magic.

"Then the quick-attack spell is activated: 'Magical Acceleration'!"

游希再把1张手卡塞进决斗盘中，道：“卡组最上方的2张卡送去墓地，给场上1只可以放置魔力指示物的怪兽放置最多2个魔力指示物。我选择「泰勒玛科技法师」适用这个效果。再除外掉墓地里的「熟练的青魔道士」再给它放置1个魔力指示物。”

The "Thelma Tech Mage" can place up to nine magic counters, and now a third of the crystals on the armor have dimmed instantly.

The magic extracted from it was woven into powerful spells.

"I activate the effect of 'Thelma Tech Mage Clatterus': Once per turn, detach 3 Spell Counters and add 1 Spell Card or Spellcaster Monster from your Deck to your hand. I choose the Spell Card 'Heavenly Treasure'."

The deck was shuffled and discarded, and cards popped out.

Yu Xi drew the card, and countless gold coins rained down from the sky: "Set 1 card face down, activate 'Heavenly Treasure Card,' both players draw 6 cards from their decks."

"The effect of 'Coffin of the King' has no limit of once per turn. Activating 'Coffin of the King' again sends 'Horus's Blessing - Kebshenaff' from your hand to the Graveyard, and sends 'Horus's Vanguard - Hapi' to the Graveyard. These two monsters can also be Special Summoned directly from the Graveyard while 'Coffin of the King' is on the field."

"Habbi, the forerunner of Horus, ATK: 2400"

"Horus's Blessing - Kebshanaf, ATK: 2500"

Two beams of light flew out of the "King's Coffin" and transformed into monsters in the front field. In the blink of an eye, Yuki's monster horde had surpassed Elizabeth's, and none of them were low-star monsters.

"As long as 'King's Coffin' is on the field, it can continuously pull 4 Level 8 high-level monsters from the Graveyard every turn..."

Eliza frowned slightly: "However, regardless of which one of them, their attack power is lower than that of the 'Theorist,' and they are no match for it."

"So what?"

Yuki places a new card onto the Duel Disk: "When a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Satellite Synchron' from your hand."

As Youxi moved, a mechanical life form, mainly composed of a small satellite, emerged from the car.

This monster is a Level 2 Tuner. When paired with the Level 8 "Horus" monster, it can be Synchro Summoned to the Level 10 general-purpose white monster "Ballad of Flowers". "Ballad of Flowers" has both bombs and counters, making it easy to clear Elizabeth's field.

Elizabeth, of course, could not allow this to happen.

"If 'Satellite Synchron' is successfully Special Summoned, activate the Trap Card: 'D-Fusion'!"

Eliza gently raised her hand, and the covered cards stood up once more.

A large "D" shines against a backdrop of interwoven red and blue heroes.

[D-Fusion (Normal Trap): When this card's effect Fusion Summons, monsters other than "Destiny HERO" cannot be used as Fusion Material. ①: Send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card from your field to the Graveyard, then Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn.]

"Based on this card's effect, fuse 'Destiny HERO Doctriner' and 'Destiny HERO Demonic Man,' gaining new life from the flames of destiny and transforming into an eternal phoenix! Fusion Summon, 'Destiny HERO Destruction Phoenix!'"

"Destiny Hero Destroys the Phoenix, Level 8/Dark/Warrior/Fusion" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100"

"6-star or higher [Hero] monsters + [Destiny Hero] monsters"

The "doctrinal people" and the "demonic people" were enveloped in a fused light, from which crimson flames rose and burned across the land.

The crimson hero spreads his wings, like a phoenix reborn.

"The Hero of Destiny destroys the Phoenix People...!"

Yu Xi's eyes narrowed; he had actually summoned this infamous monster during his turn.

"As long as 'Destiny HERO Phoenix Destroyer' is on the field, the ATK of monsters your opponent controls decreases by 200 for each 'HERO' card in your Graveyard."

Eliza said, "I now have six 'Hero' monsters in my graveyard, so all the monsters on your field, Your Highness, will have their ATK reduced by 1200. Furthermore, 'Destruction Phoenix,' protected by 'D-Fusion,' cannot be destroyed by battle or effects, and even if you Synchro Summon 'Ballad Baron,' it won't be a match for it."

"And once per turn, the effect of 'Destiny Phoenix' activates. Destroy 1 card on each player's field, and unleash 'Destiny Destruction'!"

With a low shout, "Destroy the Phoenix Man!" crimson flames erupted from his body, sweeping like a storm towards the positions of "Ruler" and Yuxi, engulfing "Satellite Synchronizer" as well.

—The destruction of "Destiny Heroes Rule Man".

—Satellite Synchronizer destroyed.

"Without adjustments, the 'Flower Baroness' won't even be able to appear on the field."

Eliza said, "Your Highness Yuxi, your idea of ​​using the 'Flower Baroness' to fight me is doomed to fail."

"It's hard to say."

Upon hearing this, You Xi smiled slightly.

“I had some doubts before, but now I’m finally sure—Miss Eliza, your thousand-year-old jewelry can’t really predict my future, can it?”

"...Why would you think that?"

"Because if you could see it, you wouldn't have used 'Destroy the Phoenix' to destroy 'Satellite Synchron'. The moment a card on your field is removed from the field by your opponent's effect, the effects of 'Horus's Blessing - Kebshanaf' and 'Horus's Vanguard - Hapi' activate!"

"This turn, your opponent cannot target 'Horus' monsters with effects or attacks, and I can choose to return a total of 2 cards from both players' banished graveyards to their respective decks or hands. The cards I can choose are my recently destroyed 'Satellite Synchron' and 'Heavenly Treasure Card'."

Yuki demonstrated his reasoning to Eliza through his actions: "If you could see my future, you wouldn't be unaware of the effects of 'Habi,' and you would understand that even if you destroy a 'Satellite Synchron,' I can retrieve it. What you're doing doesn't really make much sense."

"No, it still has meaning."

Eliza whispered, "C3, chain your monster effects, activate the effect of 'Destiny Heroes: Ruler'."

"If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed, target 3 Level 9 or lower 'Destiny HERO' monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon those monsters. Revive 'Disc Man,' 'Dread Servant,' and 'Demonic Man.'"

Beside the "Destroyer of Phoenix," the D·HEROs who had appeared earlier materialized.

This scene could be aptly described as "one whale falls, and all things come to life."

"If 'Disc Man' is successfully revived, draw 2 cards from your Deck. Simultaneously, activate the effect of 'Negation Man' to place 1 'Destiny HERO' card from your Deck onto the top of your Deck."

Taking advantage of the self-chain opportunity, which was equivalent to a targeted search, Elizabeth, whose hand size increased to 8 cards, said to Yuxi, "You guessed right, Your Highness Yuxi. I didn't foresee what just happened. Due to some special factors, it was difficult for me to see your future. However, this does not mean that you have won."

"Difficult to see through doesn't mean completely invisible; observing my own future is even simpler. In fact, as long as you can do the latter, you can still have a huge advantage in a duel."

--indeed.

Even if we can't see how Yuki will duel in the future, it's just a return to a normal duel situation, which isn't a loss.

Moreover, her foresight wasn't completely lost; simply being able to see what cards she would draw and what dangers she would encounter in the future already brought her countless benefits.

"That being said, this answer is still good news for me."

You Xi was not discouraged.

In fact, what he was most worried about in this duel was Eliza's future vision.

The power of futuristic vision can be seen in various works featuring charlatans, and in how Seto Kaiba in the original DM series was utterly tricked by Iris. Now that Eliza admits she can't fully see into the future, he has fewer concerns and a greater chance of winning.

"Let's continue with our moves."

Yuki slammed the card down in his hand and said, "I summon 'Satellite Synchron' from my hand in Attack Position, and then use 'Satellite Synchron' to level up 'Horus's Blessing - Kebshennuff'!"

"The time for revolution has come! Raise the banner of freedom and forge a new future! Called by the same voice, advance, 'Baroness of Flowers'!!"

"Baroness of Flowers, ATK: 3000 → 2200"

The light of harmony shines forth, and petals fall.

A noble and elegant flower knight bursts into the battlefield, drawing his sword to fight the enemy.

"The effect of 'Baroness of Flowers' is activated: Once per turn, target 1 card on the field and destroy it. Destroy Miss Elizabeth's last face-down card in the back row, 'Rose Dance'!"

Activate the Trap Card: "Endless Fear".

Under pressure from the "Baroness of Flowers," Eliza was forced to hand over her Geka.

From the cards that were flipped up, it seemed as if bells were ringing.

"This card's effect is to place 2 clock counters on the 'Prison Clock Tower'."

"Chain this effect, the 'Flower Baroness' effect activates!"

Before Eliza could finish speaking, Yu Xi ordered his synchronized cavalry to unleash another dazzling sword strike, shattering the card completely.

"When the effects of magic, traps, or monsters are activated, the activation of those effects is negated and destroyed."

"This effect can only be activated once while it's on the field. Is it really worth using it here?"

Eliza didn't expect Yuki to be so decisive; she probably hadn't used the "Prison Clock Tower" effect much in official duels.

"It seems your understanding of 'Heroes of Destiny' is deeper than I imagined, Prince Yuki."

"So-so, but I still remember the effects of most of the cards."

Eliza quickly saw through the truth, and Yuxi didn't intend to hide anything: "So, I also have a way to deal with the 'Destroyer of the Phoenix.' 'Horus's Vanguard - Habi' attacks 'Destiny Hero: Destroyer of the Phoenix'!"
