Victor: "It's my turn, draw a card!"
Victor glanced at his starting six cards and pondered momentarily without making a move.
Honestly, he was a bit nervous; the burden he felt in this battle today was heavier than any previous match.
The feeling now was as if his two teammates were useless, not only of no help but also turned into experience for the opponent. The opponent already had the terrifying power of the Great Demon King, now boosted to level 100 with divine gear, forcing Victor to face this top pressure situation...
But there is still a chance.
"Then I'll also activate the Magic Card 'Handwriting Erasure'!" Victor declared, "Both sides send all hand cards to the graveyard, then each draw the same number of cards from the card deck."
The appearance rate of this card is quite high in this match, though each time it's used by different people. Both sides send hand cards to the graveyard, then redraw cards.
"Next, I'll summon 'Enhanced Saike'!"
[Enhanced Saike, Attack Power 1500]
"Enhanced Saike's effect, up to twice per turn, allows me to banish one Telekinesis Monster from the graveyard, increasing the Attack Power of this card by 500 points."
Victor revealed the two cards he had just sent to the graveyard, both being Telekinesis Monsters.
"I banish 'Girl of Thought' and 'Greatest Teleporter' from the graveyard, making Enhanced Saike's Attack Power rise by 1000!"
[Enhanced Saike, Attack Power 1500→Attack Power 2500]
"A sudden 1000 Attack Power increase, turning a Four-Star Monster into a Black Mage Level attack instantly," Yugen noted, "Impressive."
Victor said, "Next, I'll activate the face-down card left by the captain, Continuous Trap 'Brain Disaster'!
This card allows me to Special Summon Telekinesis Monsters banished from the game!
I Special Summon 'Girl of Thought' from the graveyard!"
"Girl of Thought... I see," Yugen stated, "When Girl of Thought is successfully Special Summoned after being banished, it can banish the top card of the card deck, then add it to the hand when she's sent to the graveyard..."
Furthermore, Girl of Thought is originally an Adjusted Monster. If Victor successfully summons Girl of Thought, he will have enough materials on the field to perform a Synchro Summon, allowing him to draw another card through Synchro Summoning.
Though one can also observe patiently, waiting to see what the opponent plans to summon before acting. But considering the opponent's Normal Summon for this turn is already used up...
Forget it.
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Activate the face-down card! Counterattack Trap—
—Divine Punishment!"
This Counterattack Trap can only be activated when Celestial Sanctuary exists, a core of the Celestial Sanctuary series, and the trump card of the "Counterattack Angels" series, the strongest counterattack of this card deck.
"Divine Punishment can only be activated during the activation of Monster Effects, Magic, or Traps," Yugen explained, "It negates the effect activation and destroys it. This effect can only be used when 'Celestial Sanctuary' exists."
The moment Divine Punishment was activated, the cloud-shrouded Celestial Sanctuary trembled violently, the pure white sea of clouds turning blood red in an instant, resembling angels shedding crimson tears in temple frescoes.
The crimson lightning struck Victor's activated "Brain Disaster," leaving scar-like sacred marks on the Trap Card. Flames ignited from nowhere burned the Trap Card into ashes, and the high-temperature aftermath left scorched ten commandments-like imprints on the field.
Victor's expression changed drastically: "You actually have such a terrifying trap hidden..."
"It's not over yet," Yugen smiled, "Divine Punishment is also a Counterattack Trap. So at this moment, the first effect is 'Fertility of Artemis,' drawing a card from the card deck."
Yugen drew a card from the card deck.
"Next is 'Celestial Saint Motius,' recovering 1000 Life Points. Moreover, when Celestial Sanctuary exists on the field, any card on the field can be destroyed!"
[Yugen, LP 6000→ LP 7000]
Yugen said, "Destroy 'Enhanced Saike'!"
Motius's beam struck, hitting the opposing side's last remaining Enhanced Saike. Despite its attack increasing to 2500, it didn't even get a chance to use a single move before being blown to bits.
"It's not over," Yugen stated, "My new angel on the field, 'Celestial Sage Minerva,' also activates its effect.
Celestial Sage Minerva increases its Attack Power by 500 points whenever a Counterattack Trap is activated when existing on the field!"
[Celestial Sage Minerva, Attack Power 1700→Attack Power 2200]
"Furthermore, when 'Celestial Sanctuary' exists on the field, Minerva gains an additional ability," Yugen explained, "In the situation where a Counterattack Trap is activated, select and add a different-named Counterattack Trap from the graveyard matching the activated Trap's name to the hand."
Victor: "!"
This bastard... has a new effect added.
Previously, every time a Counterattack Trap was activated, it already gave significant rewards of "drawing one card from the deck, gaining 1000 Life Points, plus destroying one card on the field." Now it turns out it can also retrieve a Counterattack Trap from the graveyard...
What's the point of fighting like this?
Every time the opponent activates a counterattack, the gap between the two sides grows wider and wider.
Once caught in the rhythm of Counterattack Angels, sinking deeper into the abyss of the Underworld until utterly finished.
"From the grave, I retrieve 'Hell's Cold Gun,' the Counterattack Trap sent by Handwriting Erasure." Yugen said.
Pompadour commentator: "Such despair! In the last round, Victor from the Superpower Team didn't even have a chance for a Synchro, with all field monsters and the backline already cleared by the power of Counterattack Traps, and even the cards left by teammates from the previous round were nullified!
Moreover, the Normal Summon of the turn was already used up, in such a hopeless situation, is there really a chance for a comeback?"
"No, it's not time to give up yet..." Victor shouted, "Our team, our WRGP will never end on the starting line!
Activate Magic Card 'Dark Temptation,' draw two cards from the card deck, then banish one Dark Attribute Monster from the hand!"
Victor drew two cards, then revealed a Dark Attribute Monster from his hand.
"I banish 'Celestial Eye' from the hand!"
"Next, activate Magic Card 'Telekinesis Perception Area'!" Victor declared, "Return the Telekinesis Monsters from the banished cards to the graveyard, use these Monsters as materials to perform Synchro Summon on Telekinesis Synchro Monsters!"
Pompadour commentator: "Oh oh oh, looks like Superpower Team has revealed their final trump card, Synchro using banished Monsters!"
The audience became restless again.
Using banished materials for Synchro... such a thing is unheard of in all these years on the field.
The three members of the Superpower Team, although constantly suppressed, whether it's the first two or Victor, despite facing infinite counterattack pressure, still displayed astonishing resilience, persistently seeking ways out even in such disadvantageous circumstances.
Victor: "Watch closely, this is my... no, it's our final monster!"
