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

"Let's chain together the effect of the trap card in the graveyard: 'Nioh Rising,' banish this card from the game, target 'Phoenix of Destruction,' and this turn, Your Highness, you can only attack 'Phoenix of Destruction.' Then destroy your opponent's cards, 'Phoenix of Destruction,' [Destruction of Fate]!"

The phoenix's flames arrived, turning the "King's Coffin," which allowed the "Horus" monsters to be resurrected indefinitely, to ashes.

Although the "Destroy the Phoenix" also perished, the Phoenix does not die easily.

"Because 'Phoenix of Destruction' is destroyed, 'Disc Man' and 'Double Hook' will also be destroyed. At the moment of destruction, 'Phoenix of Destruction's' effect activates! During the next Standby Phase, I can Special Summon 1 'Destin HERO' monster from my Graveyard."

"So you're planning to resurrect the 'Destroyer Phoenix' again?"

Youxi didn't even need to guess to know what choice Eliza would make; this was also the most common use of "destroying the Phoenix."

At that time, we will have to face the threats of both "Blood Demon-D" and "Destroyer Phoenix" at the same time.

Before that, we need to take down one of the monsters first.

"Looks like it's time for this guy to make his appearance."

Youxi glanced at her hand, which was at its maximum capacity, and took out a card.

"—I unleash the three monsters: 'Thelma Technologist,' 'Have the Precursor of Horus - Hapi,' and 'Horus's Blessing - Kebshennuff.' Descend! 'Obelisk the Tormentor'!!"

Chapter 306 Colossus-Specific Support Magic

"—Descend, Obelisk the Titan!"

"Obelisk the Titan, ATK: 4000"

A beam of azure light crashed down, accompanied by an immense pressure, and a colossal god, as majestic as a mountain, descended behind Youxi.

"Finally showed up!"

Although she had known this moment would come, Eliza still felt a chill run through her body when she actually faced it.

It was a kind of instinctive terror that lower-level beings felt when facing higher-level beings.

"But! Even gods must cower before 'Blood Demon-D'!"

The light from the millennium-old jewelry on her chest flickered slightly, and Eliza calmly stated, "The 'Blood Demon-D' has higher attack power than the 'Colossus,' and the effects of the 'Colossus' can be nullified by the 'Blood Demon-D'!"

In principle, it is similar to "skill extraction".

Because "Blood Demon-D" appeared first, even the strongest resistance couldn't withstand its effect-locking. However, Yuki's purpose in summoning "Giant Warrior" was not to use "Giant Warrior's" resistance to defeat "Blood Demon-D".

"Just as 'Blood Demon-D' has 'D-Power' to support it, gods also have divine magic—Quick Attack Magic Activated: 'God Hand Crushing Fist'!"

Yuki inserts a card from his hand into the Duel Disk, reducing his hand to three cards.

The card that appeared before her startled Eliza: "A spell similar to the 'Giant Warrior's' attack?"

"This is the other hidden power of 'Obelisk'."

Yu Xi said, "If you control a monster whose original card name is 'Obelisk the Tormentor,' you can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls. This turn, the effects of the destroyed monster and any monsters with the same original card name are negated."

"You want to destroy 'Blood Demon-D', is that it?"

Eliza thought she understood Yuki's purpose, since she only had "Blood Demon-D" on the field: "But it's useless, Princess Yuki. With 'D-Power' on the field, 'Blood Demon-D' is invincible and cannot be destroyed by the effect of this card."

"Who said I was going to destroy 'Blood Demon-D'?"

"……what?"

The sudden sound from Youxi made Eliza uneasy.

"The 'Divine Hand Shattering Fist' has another follow-up effect."

Yu Xi said, "When this card is activated during my Main Phase, I can also apply the following effect: Destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field!"

"! It's not targeting my monster, but rather an attack launched from my back row!?"

Eliza finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.

The Azure Giant had already clenched its fist, unleashing a punch more terrifying than a real cannon, shaking the earth. Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, Eliza's cards shattered.

Having lost "D-Power" and the absorbed "Gaia Warrior", the power aura of "Blood Demon-D" also plummeted instantly.

"Destiny Heroes Blood Demon - D, ATK: 4500 → 1900"

However, even after being tricked like this, Eliza still managed to keep some cards on the field.

The church building that was built around the two men, as well as the tallest bell tower, still stands.

“Because of the effect of ‘Magic Shield,’ ‘Prison Clock Tower’ removes one counter instead of destroying it.” Eliza was still shaken. “I never imagined that Your Highness Yuki’s purpose in summoning ‘Colossus’ was this. But even if it can clear my back row, the effect of ‘Nioh Stance’ has already taken effect this turn, and ‘Colossus’ alone, which has no resistance, still can’t defeat ‘Blood Demon-D.’”

"What if we add this card as well?"

Yu Xi then added another card from his hand to the Duel Disk.

"Spell Card activated: 'Spider Silk'! Based on this card's effect, add 'Book of the Moon' (which you sent to the Graveyard last turn) to my hand and activate this effect! Change 'Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D' face-down to Defense Position."

The moon's magic was released from the book, causing "Blood Demon-D" to fall into a temporary slumber.

With its temporary suppression failing, the "Giant Warrior" instantly regained its immense power. Having regained its resistance, it was able to completely ignore the "Nioh Stance" and defeat the "Blood Demon-D".

However, Yu Xi had a better approach.

"Attack command summons the 'Three-Eyed Monster,' then activates the effect of 'Obelisk the Tormentor'!"

Yu Xilang declared loudly: "Release 'Dark Magician' and 'Three-Eyed Monster,' destroy all monsters on your field with ATK below 4000, and inflict 4000 battle damage. [God Fist Shattering Shockwave]!"

As soon as the "Three-Eyed Monster" appeared, it and the only remaining "Black Magician" transformed into pure soul energy that wrapped around the "Giant Warrior's" hand, which was then punched away by the "Giant Warrior".

Lightning and gale-force winds raged, threatening to blast away and destroy everything before the gods' eyes.

Because of her own actions, Eliza only has 4000 LP. The outcome of the battle will be decided once the effect of "Giant Warrior" is achieved.

But things were not that simple after all.

"A chain reaction triggers the Graveyard Trap Card's effect: 'Transaction Rewind'!"

In the howling wind, her hair danced wildly, but Eliza's voice remained calm.

"Pay half your Life Points and banish this card. Target the Normal Trap "Endless Fear" in your Graveyard, make the effect of "Transaction Rewind" the same as itss, and place 2 Clock Counters on "Prison Clock Tower."

"If the 'Prison Clock Tower' obtains 4 or more clock indicators, all combat damage I receive will become 0!"

[Eliza LP: 4000 → 2000]

"So, they're taking advantage of the fact that the 'Colossus' deals combat damage?"

Eliza's move reminded Yuxi of Atum's response in Duel City; the two were remarkably similar.

"Then I'll activate the effect of 'Guardians of Canopy' and Special Summon 'Horus's Glory - Imset' in Attack Position."

The golden guardian materialized, and at the same time, the "Giant Warrior's" punch had already reduced "Blood Demon-D" to ashes.

The subsequent impact was neutralized by the overlap of the hour and minute hands of the "Prison Clock Tower," but at least Yuki's initial goal had been achieved.

"Then I activate the effect of 'Three-Eyed Monster,' search for 'Magician's Souls,' send 1 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Magician's Souls' from my hand. By the effect of 'Souls,' send 'Guardian of Canopus' from the back row to the Graveyard, and I draw 1 card from my Deck."

Yuki glanced at the card he had drawn and said, "I activate the effect of 'Guardian of Canopus.' If this card is sent from my hand or Graveyard to the Graveyard, set it in the back row. It is banished when set by this effect. Next, I set Link Markers with 'Twin Souls' and 'Horus's Glory,' and Link Summon L-ink2, 'Shadow Mage Top Hat Rabbit!'"

"Shadow Mage Top Hat Rabbit, L-ink2/Light/Fantasy Magic/Link" "↙↘, ATK: 1500"

The portal opened, and a red-eyed rabbit wearing a hat with the Eye of Horus pattern hopped out. It looked quite handsome, both cute and elegant, and would likely be popular among certain unique groups.

"The effect of 'Shadow Mage Top Hat Rabbit' has activated!"

Yu Xi said, "If this card is Link Summoned, I can Set 1 Continuous Trap Card from my Deck that can be Special Summoned as a Monster to the back row, then Set 1 more card, and the turn ends."

It can be used as a Continuous Trap to Special Summon Monsters, and with the "Guardian of Canopus" constantly reviving "Horus" from the graveyard, anyone who dares to launch an attack will be met with the merciless counterattack of "Giant Warrior's" [Soul Energy Max]...

"My turn, draw a card."

Eliza looked at the cards she had drawn and said, "During this turn's Standby Phase, the effect of 'Destiny HERO Phoenix Destroyer' will apply. Special Summon the 'Destiny HERO' monster from my Graveyard. What I'm reviving is 'Phoenix Destroyer' itself."

As the Phoenix Flames ignite, the immortal "Destroyer Phoenix" appears, bathed in flames.

"Then activate the Spell Card: 'Fate Draw', discard 1 'Fate HERO' monster from your hand, and draw 2 cards from your Deck."

"Activate the Perpetual Trap: Guardian of Canopus at this moment!"

Yuki flipped up the face-down card and said, "Use this card's effect to revive the 'Horus' monster in the Graveyard."

"That's enough for now. I won't let you revive those monsters anymore, Prince Yuki. For the effect of 'Destroy the Phoenix,' select 'Prison Clock Tower' and 'Guardian of Canopus' to destroy."

The power of [Destruction of Fate] is unleashed once more, burning and destroying the clock tower and the trap cards. Within the destroyed clock tower, a madman, freed from his shackles, roars in fury.

"If a 'Prison Clock Tower' with 4 or more counters is destroyed, this effect activates. Special Summon 1 'Destin HERO' monster from your Deck."

"The only thing we need to summon here is that monster. So—"

Yuki pressed the button: "I also activate a Continuous Trap: 'Shadow Hat'! Special Summon this card as a 1500 ATK, 600 DEF Fantasy Demon Monster in Defense Position in the Monster Zone."

As Youxi moved, a bunch of shadowy figures wearing hats jumped out of the card and surrounded the rabbit.

As the madman, freed from the collapsed clock tower, descended upon the battlefield, the violent power of Feel surged and fluctuated wildly.

Special Summon "Destiny HERO Fearman".

"Destiny Hero: Fear Man, Level 8/Dark/Warrior" "ATK: ?/DEF: ?"

"The turn 'Fearsome Man' is Special Summoned, my 'Destin HERO' monsters cannot be destroyed, and I take 0 battle damage. Furthermore, if it is Summoned or Special Summoned, this effect activates, destroying all other monsters on my field except 'Destin HERO', and Special Summoning 2 'Destin HERO' monsters from my Graveyard."

Unlike OCG, it features typical animation effects.

Such a "fearful person" truly deserves the title of ace in DH.

However, Yu Xi had certainly anticipated this.

"This path is blocked, Miss Eliza. The effect of 'Shadow Hat' activates! If this card is Special Summoned, target up to the number of Fantasy Demon monsters you control on your field; negate the effects of those cards until the end of this turn. Therefore, I negate the effects of 'Destroyer Phoenix' and 'Fearman'!"

As Youxi finished speaking, a giant hat descended from the sky, slamming down on Elizabeth's monster—

Chapter 307 Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon (3k)

The hat fell from the sky, binding the "Fear Man" and the "Destroying Phoenix Man" together with the shadow, rendering them unable to move.

"Based on the effect of 'Shadow Hat,' the effects of 'Fear Man' and 'Destroyer Phoenix Man' are negated until the End Phase. This way, while it cannot prevent 'Fear Man' from providing resistance to 'Destiny HERO' monsters, it also cannot revive those 'Destiny HERO' monsters in the Graveyard."

Youxi had already anticipated Elizabeth's moves.

It's easy to guess that he would use "Destroy the Phoenix" to destroy the "Prison Clock Tower." If it were him, he would also actively destroy the "Prison Clock Tower" after accumulating 4 clock counters.

After all, this can bring far greater benefits than the mere "combat damage becomes 0".
