Chapter 1361: The Nether Saio
"Saio summoned the highest-level ace monster with 4000 ATK right from the start!" The airplane-headed commentator shouted at the top of his voice, "Instantly he has taken an absolute advantage!"
Saio was full of confidence, with a smile on his face that said "The goddess of fate is behind me."
Saio had already been beaten by society in his own time and space, and then he absorbed the experience and practiced hard, greatly optimizing his deck.
Yuki Judai could never have imagined what he was facing!
"My turn, draw!"
Judai entered his turn with full enthusiasm, but before he could operate, Saio interrupted his momentum.
"The moment you enter the Standby Phase, the trap of fate has already been activated!" Saio swept his arm, and the trap card on one side of the white D-Wheel flipped over.
"Trap Card ‘Give and Take'!"
"Ah!?" Judai was a little confused.
Give and Take? Isn't this the unknown-meaning card that Yuei Vu-sensei gave me back then?"Special Summon a monster in my Graveyard to the opponent's field in Defense Position. After that, increase the Level of 1 monster I control by the Level of the Special Summoned monster, until the End Phase!" Saio said.
Of course, Judai himself remembered this effect, after all, he had used this tactic himself. The tactic that Yuei Vu taught him back then was to use "Neos Fusion" to throw "Ra's Disciple" from the deck to the graveyard, and then use the trap card "Give and Take" to Special Summon the apostle in his graveyard to the opponent's field.
As long as the Ra's Disciple existed on the field, the controller could not Special Summon any monster. And even if the controller wanted to tribute Ra's Disciple, it had the annoying restriction of "can only be Tributed for the summoning of the three Egyptian Gods".
Very dirty… Oh no, it's a very clever tactic.
So what does Saio use this card for? He obviously doesn't have a Ra's Disciple in his graveyard.
Could it be that he gave me an Arcana Force to make a friend?
"I'll Special Summon the ‘Arcana Force 0 – The Fool' from my Graveyard to your field!"
[Arcana Force 0 – The Fool, DEF 0]
Judai: "?"
Looking at The Fool that appeared out of nowhere on the field, Judai was a little at a loss.
Uh, should I thank him for this?
"The effect of The Fool is to flip a coin when summoning." Saio sneered, "According to the result, it will get the effect of the upright position or reverse position."
Judai immediately got excited.
He remembered that the reverse position effect of The Fool was "unaffected by the effects of the opponent's cards and cannot be targeted by the effects of the opponent's cards." If it ended up in the reverse position, plus The Fool's original effect of not being destroyed by battle, it would be the strongest shield! Ṟ𝙖N∅𝖇Εș
Although the defense was only 0, it had the ultimate resistance, which was still quite strong as a wall.
Okay, then this time it must be the reverse position!
"Stop!" Judai shouted.
Saio had a sarcastic smile on his face: "It's useless."
The card above The Fool's head stopped spinning and stopped at the upright position.
"I told you, fate has already been determined." Saio mocked, "The effect of The Fool – This card is unaffected by the effects of any card from its controller, and cannot be targeted by the controller's card effects."
"Eh!?" Judai looked at The Fool on his field with disdain.
It can't accept my effects?!
But it didn't matter, after all, he got a monster from the opponent for free. Whether it was used as a fusion material or as a sacrifice, it was a good deal…
"You are thinking that you can use The Fool as a springboard to summon a more powerful monster, right?" Saio's D-Wheel was speeding ahead, and he had a look of seeing through everything, and smiled contemptuously, "It's a pity, but that can't be done.
Open the set card: Continuous Trap – Tour of Doom!"
The second trap card turned over on one side of Saio's D-Wheel, and a large amount of dark fog filled the card's surface. The thick black fog quickly spread along the track, carrying the cold breath of the god of death.
"Tour of Doom's effect – As long as this trap exists on the field, I need to toss a coin every time the opponent enters the Standby Phase," Saio said, "Depending on the coin flip, I get the effect of the upright position or reverse position.
The effect of the upright position is that the opponent cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon any monster in this turn!
The effect of the reverse position is that I cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon any monster in my next turn!" (animation effect)
"What?" Judai was a little surprised.
Such a powerful trap? All forms of summons are blocked?
And the point was that this was a continuous trap, which would be triggered once every turn. In other words, as long as your luck was bad enough, theoretically, you might never be able to summon a monster.
Doesn't this mean that the outcome is determined by a coin?
Everyone plays cards to duel monsters. If you can't even summon monsters, what's the point of playing cards?
Thinking of this, Judai immediately became alert and held his breath.
Then he must throw a reverse position, otherwise it would be GG directly…
However, Saio did not give this opportunity at all, and only sneered: "You may still think that as long as ‘Tour of Doom' randomly falls to the reverse position, you still have a chance, right?
But I said, there is no such possibility. From the moment I take the initiative, you have already lost!"
Saio pointed to the silly Fool on Judai's field.
Seeing The Fool on his field, Judai suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition.
"Arcana Force 0 – The Fool has another hidden effect!" Saio shouted, "When The Fool is on the field, if the opponent player from the perspective of The Fool's controller decides an effect based on a coin toss, they can choose which effect to apply without tossing a coin!" (Animation effect)
Judai: "???"
Damn? This silly guy has such a pitfall effect?
Wait, doesn't that mean…
"That's right, because The Fool is on your field, all the cards I activate later can freely choose the upright or reverse position!
And, as long as the effect of ‘Tour of Doom' is still in effect, you can't use The Fool as a sacrifice or a fusion material!
Plus, The Fool itself cannot be destroyed by battle and does not accept any card effects from your own cards, so you have no way to get The Fool off the field!"
Saio laughed.
"You have no chance, Yuki Judai! Maybe you are indeed a man with the potential to shake fate, and maybe you really have such a tiny possibility to affect the predetermined fate.
But now, that possibility no longer exists! As long as The Fool is there, I will be free to choose the upright or reverse position, just like your destiny!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
‘Tour of Doom' activated! This turn I choose the upright effect! According to its effect, Yuki Judai, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon any monster this turn!"
