Yuei Vu stood up straight again and carefully looked at Anubis opposite him.
In the animation, he only entered at the end of the duel between Yami Yugi and the president. He has fought for only a few minutes, and it was almost impossible to see the deck configuration.
But one thing was for sure, this guy is strong…very strong.
This can be seen from several details.
For example, he could secretly influence the spirits of Pegasus and Kaiba, and induce everyone to act according to the script he planned.
For example, his signature card, "Pyramid of Light", the extraordinary power contained in that card was so powerful that it could not be shaken even by the Millenium Puzzle, and could even erase the Three Egyptian Gods.
In the movie, at the moment the "Pyramid of Light" was activated, all the three Egyptian Gods on Yugi's field were instantly wiped out, and they were directly removed from the game.
It stood to reason that the Three Egyptian Gods were not affected by the effects of trap cards. So from the perspective of the real card rules, there were only two possible explanations for the "Pyramid of Light" being able to obliterate the three Egyptian Gods.
The first possibility was that "removing the Three Egyptian Gods from the game" was not the effect of this card, but the price that needed to be paid to activate this card. This was the same nature as Kaiba's "summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragon by tributing Obelisk", and the Egyptian God was paid as the price required for the activation of this card.
The second possibility, "remove the Three Egyptian Gods from the game", was the "extra-effect text" written on this card, and it is not the effect of this card.
In layman's terms, it meant "When the Pyramid of Light exists, the Three Egyptian Gods must be removed from the game." This sentence itself was a rule written on the "Pyramid of Light" card, not a card effect.
But no matter what kind of explanation, from the perspective of animation, it was enough to prove that the "Pyramid of Light" had a power that could at least rival the three Egyptian Gods, and may even be higher.
As its owner, it could be foreseen that Anubis should at least have the strength equivalent to a Rank 10 duelist, which cannot be underestimated at all.
"My turn, draw."
It was also thanks to the opponent that Brother Sky was bounced back to his hand so that he could use it again.
"I summon 'Elemental HERO Stratos' again!"
There was an invisible whirlwind, and the high-tech hero with a full body of exoskeleton armor came to the field again, with the turbine behind him rumbling.
[Elemental HERO Stratos, ATK 1800]
"Stratos's effect!" Yuei Vu said, "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add 1 'HERO' monster from my Deck to my hand. What I want to add to the hand is the 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier'!"
A card popped up in the deck, and after being taken away by him, the deck was quickly and automatically shuffled.
"Then I'm going to use the effect of 'Fusion Gate' here!"
Yuei Vu raised his hand, and the dark vortex above his head released lightning, as if roaring in a deep voice.
"I fuse 'Elemental HERO Stratos' on the field and 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier' in the hand!
The fusion condition is 1 'Elemental HERO' monster + 1 WATER monster!
Fusion Summon! Born from the cold abyss, the hero who dominates everything with absolute power of ice and snow——
——Elemental HERO Absolute Zero! "
Stratos and Liquid Soldier turned into two beams of light and flew into the air, disappearing into the vortex of chaos. The blue-white light erupted from it and fell from the sky, bringing a world of ice and snow.
The pitch-black tomb seemed to be dyed pure white in an instant, and the icy wind and snow rolled up out of thin air. The hero, dressed in silver-white armor and a fluttering cloak, descended lightly with his arms around him. The moment the toes touched the ground, the ground under their feet condensed into transparent ice crystals.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, ATK 2500]
"The effect of 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier'." Yuei Vu said, "If this card is used as Fusion Material for a 'HERO' monster, and sent to the GY or banished: I can draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card."
Yuei Vu drew two cards, glanced at the cards in his hand, then drew one and discarded it to the graveyard.
"It is indeed a powerful servant." Anubis said calmly, "It is enough to break the guardian's defense line."
But even if the defensive "Guardian Sphinx" was destroyed, it could not cause damage to Anubis himself.
But Yuei Vu's operation was not over yet: "Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change! Send 1 'HERO' monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute!
I sent 'Elemental HERO Absolute Zero' to the GY, transform!
Masked HERO Vapor! "
Surrounded by ice and snow, gorgeous silver-white transformation effects cover the extremely cold heroes with brand-new armor. Blue-and-white armor encased his torso and torso, and the helmet was worn, and the hero's eyes lit up with a scarlet gleam.
[Masked HERO Vapor, ATK 2400]
Anubis frowned: "Give up a more powerful servant?"
"The effect of Absolute Zero." Yuei Vu quickly explained, "When he leaves the field, all the monsters on the opponent's field will be destroyed!"
Boundless cold air was released, and the power of ice and snow erupted from under Wushui's feet, sweeping at a speed visible to the naked eye. The "Guardian Sphinx" set on Anubis' field was frozen into ice and shattered into dross without even having a chance to flip it over.
"I see, it is indeed quite powerful." Anubis said, "But as long as my trap 'Ordeal of a Traveler' exists, your attack is still limited."
Of course, Yuei Vu also knew this kind of thing: "Quick-Play Spell – Mystical Space Typhoon! Destroy the 'Ordeal of a Traveler'!"
The dark storm rolled up, and the continuous trap card on the opposite field was rolled up into the air, and it was torn into pieces in mid-air.
"In this way, there will be no restrictions on attacking." Yuei Vu said.
"Hey, you have some skills," Anubis said.
"Battle!" Yuei Vu said, "Masked HERO Vapor, attack the player directly!"
Vapor stepped on the blue water flow under its feet, flying forward like riding the wind and waves. He stepped on the waves, and the silver dagger in his hand drew a clear line of water, and went straight to Anubis' neck.
Anubis narrowed his eyes slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and let out a dull and cold laugh.
"Let me give you a special experience, the power that surpasses the gods and ends the world!"
He raised his arms high.
"Activate it here now, let's come to this world again——
——Pyramid of Light! "
The last set card in front of him was turned over, a red trap card, and the moment it stood up, the card released an unbelievable divine light.
The space trembled, gravel and dust rustled down from the top. The entire tomb began to scream, as if an invisible balloon was rapidly inflating and about to burst the container.
The laser drew a cross on the ground and circled a huge field. The white light began to build a huge building within the delineated area, including the entire site where the two sides fought, isolating the collapsed tombs and falling rocks from the outside world, and even the sound was isolated.
It seemed that the power of this card created an independent duel space. No one could leave here until the winner was decided.
Here is the Pyramid of Light.
That is the realm of judgment that even the gods cannot touch.
