Yuei Vu took a deep breath and stood up straight.
The soul of the Pharaoh that resided in Muto's Yugi, plus Obelisk the Tormentor… Sure enough, against this world protagonist, there was no time to breathe.
But thanks to the four cards replenished in one go the last turn, plus this wave of extreme blood lock, now Yuei Vu has a reversal move in his hand.
That's right, thanks to the blood lock, his skill "Draw of Fate" was now available!
"My turn, draw!" Yuei Vu pressed the button immediately after drawing a card and flipped the set card on his side, "Open the set card: Continuous Trap – Call of the Haunted! Special Summon a monster in my graveyard in attack position!
I resurrect the 'Card Blocker' in the graveyard! "
The Card Blocker who appeared in the duel with Marik not long ago reappeared and appeared on the field with a clear shout.
[Card Blocker, ATK 400]
"Card Blocker's effect – When this card is Summoned: Change it to Defense Position."
[Card Blocker, DEF 400]
"Continue to consolidate the defense?" Yugi said, "but you can't defeat Obelisk like this."
"Ah, I know." But Yuei Vu's operation was not over yet, "So I'm going to use this Spell Card – Downbeat!
Tribute 1 face-up monster; Special Summon from my Deck, 1 monster with the same original Type and Attribute, that the Tributed monster had on the field but 1 Level lower!"
Yugi muttered: "Card Blocker's attribute is EARTH, and its Type is Warrior…"
"And it's Level 3, so I can Special Summon a Level 2 EARTH Warrior monster from my deck!"
While speaking, Card Blocker had dissipated under the effect of the spell, turned into a beam of golden light, and shot into Yuei Vu's deck, calling out the new power that was sleeping in this deck.
"I Special Summoned from the Deck… 'Hero Kid'!"
The voice fell, and a young hero dressed in a space suit and a glass helmet had flown out of his deck and landed on the field in a half-squat, and his small body was fearlessly blocking the front of the God of Destruction.
[Hero Kid, DEF 600]
"Hero Kid?" Yugi wondered, "It's a monster I haven't seen before."
This was also a card that Yuei Vu opened from the card pool a long time ago. It was a card related to the Elemental HERO series, and it had a good appearance rate in the GX animation.
At that time, Yuei Vu felt that this card also belonged to the "unknown meaning cards" category, and even if it was presented in the store, no players would be interested.
But now times have changed.
With the replacement of his deck and more and more cards obtained, the "Hero Kid" who was not useful at the time also has a role to play.
"The special ability of 'Hero Kid' is activated!" Yuei Vu pulled out the deck again, "When this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can Special Summon any number of 'Hero Kid' from the deck!
I Special Summon the other two Hero Kids! "
Yugi was surprised: "It actually hides such an ability!"
Yuei Vu smiled and said, "Heroes can call their friends and accompany them (referring to the righteous gang-up). Come on, my heroes!" (1)
Two more beams flew out, one left and one right beside the Hero Kid on the field. The three Hero Kids squatted side by side in a defensive posture, looked at each other, and nodded, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
[Hero Kid, DEF 600] x3
Yugi frowned: "Three monsters were called out in an instant…"
"And this turn's Normal Summon opportunity hasn't been used yet." President Kaiba said, "Have you found a way to collect the sacrifices faster than Yugi's three Musketeers of summoning gods?"
Everyone realized what was going to happen next – even heaven seemed to be vaguely aware of it.
Yuei Vu hasn't played a card yet, but thick clouds have already gathered in the sky, with looming lightning flashing between the clouds.
Yuei Vu drew out a card in his hand: "I will sacrifice the three 'Hero Kids'… Run through the underworld and the world, and come in the chaos of heaven and thunder——
– Osiris the Sky Dragon! ! ! "
The blue lightning fell with the sound of thunder, and the clouds penetrated as if the sky itself was torn apart.
The huge fiery red body slowly fell from the sky, and the majestic image of the dragon appeared in the sky. The moment of roaring seemed to disperse the scattered clouds, and the sound was captivating.
[Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK 3000]
"Okay…it's amazing," Kujaku Mai inhaled a deep breath, "Osiris and Obelisk, two gods confrontation…"
Sister Shizuka whispered: "What a terrible feeling…"
"It's okay!" Honda quickly seized the opportunity, "I will protect you no matter what happens!"
Jonouchi couldn't help but feel touched when he heard it – Honda is indeed a good buddy! He cares so much about my sister!
"Hmph, Osiris was called out in this situation." President Kaiba muttered to himself, chuckling admiringly, "That's right."
"To be able to summon a god under Obelisk's oppressive power, you make me admire even more from the bottom of my heart, Yuei Vu." Yugi smiled, "But I still have to remind you that Osiris' attack power is based on the number of cards in the player's hand.
Now you only have three cards in your hand, so Osiris' attack power is only 3000, not enough to defeat Obelisk. "
"Ah, of course, I know, so now this is my killer move." Yuei Vu took out the two cards in his hand, "First, I set a card on the field! Then I activate a Spell Card from the hand… Card of Sanctity!"
When this card came out, everyone was shocked.
"The best card to replenish your hand." Kaiba narrowed his eyes. "After calling Osiris, do you replenish your hand to the upper limit in one go, so that God can gain the ultimate offensive ability?"
Yugi gritted his teeth and filled his hand with six cards along with Yuei Vu.
Although it was very dangerous to let Yugi draw more cards, if Yuei Vu didn't do this, he really had no other way to remove Obelisk, and the next turn may be game over.
So now he could only hope that this blow was enough to establish the victory!
[Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK 6000]
[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]
[Yugi, LP 2000]
"Osiris the Sky Dragon, attack!" Yuei Vu waved and shouted, "Superconductive Wave Thunder Cannon!"
The sky dragon opened its huge mouth, and golden lightning flashed from its mouth, like a clap of thunder that pierced through the sky at any time!
Obelisk, not to be outdone, raised his fists to fight back, but before he had time to charge his fists, Osiris' tail had already crawled onto him unconsciously.
The God of Destruction sensed something was wrong and wanted to break free, but it was too late. The sky dragon with an attack power of 6000 has completely surpassed him in strength. The red dragon's body wrapped around the blue giant's body in circles, tightly bound like a rope.
This trick has a nickname – "strong dragon lock soldiers".
The sky dragon firmly bound Obelisk, opened its mouth, and the superconductive wave was ready to go. Yuei Vu was already holding his breath at this time——
——He is only one blow away from the position of Battle City champion and the title of Duel King!
The card on Yugi's field was set four turns ago. If it was a card that can counterattack, it should have been used long ago… Moreover, Yuei Vu's Sky Dragon had obtained the "unaffected by Trap Cards" resistance, even if there was any trap, it could be ignored.
...This is my opportunity!
However, at the moment when his breathing almost froze, Yugi also moved!
"Open the set card!" A card that have been set long ago was activated, "Trap Card… Life Shaver!" (animation card)
Yuei Vu was startled: "What?"
Yugi said: "The opponent must discard 1 card from their hand for each of my turns that this card has been Set!
This card has been set for a total of two turns of mine, so you must discard two cards from your hand, Yuei Vu! The attack power of Osiris dropped along with it! "
[Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK 6000 → ATK 4000]
Yuei Vu gritted his teeth: "Uh…"
"Fight back, Obelisk!" Yugi raised his hand, "God Hand Crusher!"

1. "Righteous gang-up" was a meme that referred to the Super Sentai/Power Ranger series when most of the fights is 5-to-1 (five Sentai/Rangers vs one monster)
