Another attack blockade...
Mizuchi furrowed her brows again.
As soon as one attack blockade was lifted, a second one was immediately constructed. This guy...
"Alright."
Mizuchi quickly regained her composure.
"Then I will summon 'Silver Divine Spirit - Sakyo', in Defense Position."
The monster appearing this time was almost a mirror image of the previous Ukyo, only their attire was symmetrical, like opposite reflections.
[Silver Divine Spirit - Sakyo, Defense Power 600]
"Lastly, I'll set three cards on the field and end my turn."
She looked up to continue observing Yugen, as if trying to see through his expressionless face to understand his thoughts.
Duel King, known as the pinnacle of the current Dueling Realm, are you the one who can rewrite the tragic fate of my brother and me?
Or...
"Then my turn, draw." Yugen said, "The effect of the Magic Card 'Take Over 5' from last turn. In your Standby Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard, you can banish this card and a card with the same name from your Deck; draw one card."
Yugen drew a card, added it to his hand, then revealed another card from his hand.
"Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the deck." Yugen drew, then immediately played another card, "Magic Card 'Great Storm'. Destroy all the Magic and Trap Cards on the field!"
Mizuchi: "!"
Blowing again? Another wind?
You really have a grudge against my Moon Wheel Mirror, don't you?
And this time it's not just targeting Moon Wheel Mirror. I just set three cards at the back, and you directly threw the strongest storm to sweep the field. This time, I've lost resources big time.
"Counterattack Trap 'Counter-Revolution'!" Mizuchi declared, "When two or more cards on the field are destroyed by a Magic, Trap, or Monster Effect, negate that activation, and banish it from play.
'Great Storm's activation is negated and banished from play!"
The raging tornado came to an abrupt halt, as if the sky cracked open and an enormous suction force pulled the storm into the rift, leaving it vanished in an instant.
"Nice protection measures." Yugen smiled, "So you really don't want me to blow away your mirror?"
Mizuchi also flashed a taunting smile: "Feel free to keep trying if you can."
"Haha, then I won't hold back." Yugen said, "Next, I activate the Continuous Magic 'Netherworld's Treasure Scroll'.
This card allows me to draw two cards from the deck if I perform an upper-level summon using two or more sacrifices."
Mizuchi: "Are you going to summon an Upper-Level Monster?"
"Correct. I'm going to summon this guy..."
Yugen lifted his arm high.
"Using 'Synthetic Air Hummingbird' and 'Micro Wind Air Hummingbird' as sacrifices, Upper-Level Summon!
Planet Series of Stars, dispel the darkness and illuminate the earth with endless brilliance—
—Supreme Sun, summon!!!"
Mizuchi's eyes opened wide.
"Supreme...!?"
In an instant, all the darkness dispersed. Light illuminated the earth as a blazing round sun slowly rose from the horizon.
Amidst that scorching sun appeared a majestic figure, clad in heavy armor, towering and mighty, surrounded by burning flames.
[Supreme Sun, Attack Power 3000]
"The legendary lone star of the Planet Series, the strongest card..."
Mizuchi looked towards the Sun in shock, her heart filled with tension.
"This is... the Sun..."
"Correct." Yugen declared, "Moreover, the Continuous Magic 'Netherworld's Treasure Scroll' effect also activates.
Since I used two sacrifices for the Upper-Level Summon, I draw two cards from my deck."
Yugen drew two cards.
"Then I activate the Speed Attack Magic 'Speed Summon', which allows me to Normal Summon one monster from my hand.
I'll summon this guy..."
Yugen revealed a card from his hand.
"Nephthys Guide."
A dark-skinned girl slowly stepped onto the field, clad in a golden, phoenix-like garment, surrounded by transparent flames.
[Nephthys Guide, Attack Power 600]
Mizuchi: "Nephthys..."
"Nephthys Guide's effect, by offering any monster on your field along with this card as sacrifices, Special Summon 'Nephthys Phoenix God' from the deck.
I offer 'Air Hummingbird' and 'Nephthys Guide' as sacrifices, transforming them into the path for the descent of the Phoenix Flame—
—Nephthys Phoenix God, descend!"
The guide chanted incantations, her entire body's flames growing hotter and hotter until she and the Air Hummingbird beside her were engulfed, forming a massive fireball.
The fireball shot up into the sky, transforming into a burning divine bird in mid-air! A golden body and wings wrapped in flames unfolded, as if reborn from nirvana within the brilliant flames.
[Nephthys Phoenix God, Attack Power 2400]
"Summoning such high-level aces within a single turn." Mizuchi said, "Well, that's expected. Anyone without such extraordinary talents couldn't possibly overcome the fate predicted by my brother..."
She thought for a moment, then waved her sleeve.
"Then I activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Sacrificial Treasure Scroll'. When the combined attack power of your monsters on the field is lower than the opponent's monster with the lowest attack power on the field, draw two cards from the deck. However, you cannot summon or change the battle position of your monsters during the turn this effect is activated."
Yugen: "The lowest attack power on my field is Phoenix God, 2400 points."
"The combined attack power of Sakyo and Ukyo is only 1600, lower than Phoenix God." Mizuchi said, "I draw two cards!"
"Battle." Yugen said, "Supreme Sun attacks 'Silver Divine Spirit - Ukyo'."
Endless light and heat gathered, swirling in the palm of the Sun, as if forming a smaller-sized sun.
The small sun erupted from his palm, transforming into an endlessly flowing, scorching torrent, pounding toward the tiny Shikigami with unstoppable force.
The attack of the Planet Series Supreme, facing this surging flame, Mizuchi instead curved a corner of her mouth.
"This is the strike I've been waiting for." Mizuchi declared loudly, "Activate Cover Card, Trap Card 'Divine Barrier - Mirror Constraint'!" (Original Card)
As the trap was activated, both Sakyo and Ukyo on her field performed seals, and two mirrors suddenly rose from the ground, reflecting the blazing image of the Supreme Sun in their mirrors.
"Divine Barrier - Mirror Constraint. This can only be activated when both 'Silver Divine Spirit - Sakyo' and 'Silver Divine Spirit - Ukyo' exist on the field.
Mizuchi smiled.
"When an opponent's monster attacks, destroy that attacking monster. Then you can destroy another opponent's monster with attack power lower than that monster's!"
It was also one of Mizuchi's key traps when confronting Judai and Ed, specifically set up for Sakyo and Ukyo.
Of course, in terms of effect, it seemed more like a downgraded version of Hanuo's exalted power "Divine Protective Shield - Reflective Mirror Power." After all, activating this card requires having both Sakyo and Ukyo simultaneously, which is a bit demanding, and unlike Reflective Mirror Power, it can't sweep the opponent's entire field.
If anything, its subsequent ability to destroy an opponent's monster regardless of its battle position might be stronger than Reflective Mirror Power in specific situations.
However, as a part of a card deck set, it seems it could be recycled and reused by other series cards, or perhaps searched and fetched from within the deck.
"Therefore, the attacking Supreme Sun, as well as the 'Nephthys Phoenix God' with less attack power than the Sun, are all destroyed!"
