Chapter 1018: The Correct Way To Use Ultraman Fusion |
"Duel!" x2
Soon the second duel began, this time it was a student representative battle.
Considering that both sides' decks were legendary rare, this duel was still worth looking forward to. Even Yuei Vu was curious about how far Jesse could fight here.
It was definitely impossible to win. In the opening of the third season of the original GX, the battle between Judai and Jesse was originally won by Judai, and the current Judai was already a completely different person compared to the same stage in the original work, and Jesse was even more different.
The deck system of Crystal Beast was a set of salted fish, but Jesse Anderson was an important character in GX. Although he appeared very late, he seemed to be the secondary male lead. His strength was still worth looking forward to.
It's just that his deck construction was too salty from the perspective of players…
Not to mention that the whole deck had only seven monsters, each of them was a low-attack low-level monster, and there were no outstanding special effects. Not only was it extremely dead-draw, but the combat effectiveness was also worth worrying about.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key was that Jesse actually said that his deck did not even have a card that "destroys monsters".
Because he thought that a duel should be a fair fight between both parties, summoning the strongest monsters to collide with each other, so there was nothing to blow up the card.
When Jesse said this, it also attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the players – the Crystal Beast was recognized by the players as a fighter among the salted fish. Now this guy not only had a deck full of low-star fish, but also did not even have a card explosion effect. Could this deck really have combat effectiveness?
Then the next was the duel between the two academy champions, Judai and Jesse.
Judai got the first move. In general, it was awkward for heroes to take the initiative, because no matter which HERO system, the deck was biased towards the counter-attack type.
But it didn’t matter. After being trained, Judai has already formed a set of first-turn formations with his own characteristics. Moreover, after the battle with The Light of Destruction, he has grown even more. This time, he had developed a set of "interesting" play ideas and was looking for someone to test it.
First, he summoned "Keeper of Dragon Magic", then activated its effect, discarded a card, and added the Spell Card "Neos Fusion" – also known as "Ultraman Fusion" – to his hand.
Then he directly activated Ultraman Fusion, allowing his Ultraman to fuse in the deck, and directly fusion summoned Elemental HERO Brave Neos!
The most powerful thing about Brave Neos was that his fusion condition was Neos plus "1 Level 4 or lower Effect monster".
This means that through Ultraman Fusion, Judai could accurately feed to the grave any Level 4 or lower monster from the deck, which was very powerful. This effect could be used to pile all kinds of weird things in the graveyard.
For example, the fusion material chosen by Judai this time was…
…Ra's Disciple?
Many people were confused when they saw this scene.
Ra's Disciple? What is that?
This thing has nothing to do with the HERO deck, right? Why would Judai have such an unknown meaning thing in his deck?
[Elemental HERO Brave Neos, ATK 2500]
From the name of Ra's Disciple, you knew this was a monster card that supported the Winged Dragon. However, this was not an out-of-print card. This card was printed by Industrial Illusions and also appeared in the original GX animation. It was not particularly rare.
Although ordinary duelists do not have god cards, many people were willing to bid to buy a few of them as collections.
Next was the effect of Brave Neos itself. His attack power would increase by 100 points for each ‘Neo-Spacian' and ‘HERO' monster in the graveyard. Because there was a Neos in the graveyard, the attack power of the Brave Neos would increase by a crucial 100 points, which was very powerful.
[Elemental HERO Brave Neos, ATK 2500 → ATK 2600]
Finally, Judai set another card in the back row and ended his turn.
Then it was Jesse's turn.
"Is it the powerful Neos right at the start?" Jesse was also full of energy.
A ghostly eagle-type elf floated beside him – it was "Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle".
"Today's opponent is different from the usual one, Jesse."
"Yes." Jesse nodded with a smile, "Today, I will ask everyone to work hard together."
"Whether it is an alien or something else, just leave it to us, Jesse!"
After the brief interaction, Jesse quickly started to act: "I will set a card on the field, and then activate the Spell Card ‘Card Destruction'. Both players discard as many cards as possible from their hands, then each player draws the same number of cards they discarded!"
Both players discarded all their cards and then draw cards from the deck.
After drawing the card, Jesse immediately waved his hand: "Open the set card: Spell Card – Crystal Blessing! Target up to 2 ‘Crystal Beast' monsters in my GY; place those targets face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone as Continuous Spells!"
He drew two cards that popped out of the graveyard in one breath.
"I put ‘Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle' and ‘Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle' in my Spell & Trap Zone!"
Two shining gems, one red, and one blue, appeared in Jesse's backfield, occupying two zones of the grid.
"Hey~ Can you put monsters in the Spell & Trap Zone?" Judai nodded slightly, "It looks like Aster's ‘Vision HERO'…"
Jesse smiled and said, "Keep your eyes open, the power of Crystal Beast is just beginning! Activate the Spell Card ‘Crystal Beacon' from my hand!
When there are two or more Crystal Beast in my Spell & Trap Zone, special summon 1 ‘Crystal Beast' from my deck!"
The two gems in Jesse's back row released their power at the same time, blooming with dazzling red and blue light respectively, intertwining and shooting towards his deck, as if building a bridge of light, guiding the arrival of a new Crystal Beast!
But at this moment, Judai moved!
Let me show you the latest interesting tactics developed for me by Yuei Vu-sensei!
"Open the set card: Trap Card – Give and Take! 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!"
Jesse: "???"
Special Summon the monster in your Graveyard… to my field?
Give me a monster for free? Is there such a good thing?
Judai smiled and popped out the card that he had just accurately buried in his graveyard as the fusion material of "Brave Neos".
"I will Special Summon the Level 4 ‘Ra's Disciple' from the Graveyard to your field in Defense Position." He said, "Then the Level of my ‘Keeper of Dragon Magic' will rise to 8."
[Ra's Disciple, DEF 600]
Jesse looked at the guy dressed like a cosplaying Winged Dragon on his field and was confused.
Is there any special meaning in giving me this little baby?
Then he listened to Judai's explanation: "The effect of ‘Ra's Disciple'! When this card is Summoned, you can Special Summon up to 2 cards of the same name from your hand or deck…"
Of course, Jesse's deck couldn't have such an unknown meaning thing, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Special Summon two monsters from the deck when it is summoned? This monster is very strong, why give it to me…
"Then its second effect," Judai smiled, "While ‘Ra's Disciple' is on the field, its controller cannot Special Summon any other monster!"
"Huh!?"
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
What the hell? Is there such an operation?
Using "Neos Fusion" to send "Ra's Disciple" as fusion material from the deck to the graveyard, and then using a trap card to give the apostle as a gift to the opponent…
…Then the opponent is unilaterally blocked from Special Summoning?
That is to say, from now on, Jesse could only perform a Normal Summon at most once per turn, as if returning to the ancient times of "you summon one, I summon one" in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh…
What is this latest operation!?
But soon someone reacted: "But since ‘Ra's Disciple' is on Jesse's field, as long as he used it as a sacrifice for a Tribute Summon…"
But this level has obviously been within Judai's consideration for a long time. He smiled brightly: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing.
‘Ra's Disciple' is an apostle loyal to the Three Egyptian Gods. This card cannot be used as a sacrifice in any other situation except as a sacrifice for the Three Egyptian Gods!"
Jesse: "…………"
The whole audience was even more shocked.
What the hell!?
It cannot be used as a sacrifice except as a sacrifice for the Three Egyptian Gods… Doesn't it mean that it cannot be used for Tribute Summon or as a price for the activation of card effects?
By the way, even if you wanted to use it as a Fusion Material, it won't work. Even in the future generations of Yu-Gi-Oh, you couldn't use it as a material for Synchro, Xyz, or even Link Summon.
Because as long as ‘Ra's Disciple' was on the field, you couldn't perform any form of Special Summon. And whether it was Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link, they all belonged to "Special Summon".
As for being the sacrifice of the three Egyptian Gods…
… Who the hell has an Egyptian God in his hand!?
Unsolvable!
The audience was dumbfounded.
Cards… can still be played like this?!
Ultraman Fusion can also be used like this?!
What kind of hellish tactics is this?
