Relay Soul!

In the original work, this trap card used by Yugi against Dartz had the effect of rewriting the victory conditions. Today, many years later, this card has been implemented as a real card – although the effect text has been slightly adjusted.

Victory conditions have changed. Although his LP has been reduced to zero, Z-ONE did not lose this duel. As long as the "Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel" Special Summoned by the effect of "Relay Soul" was still on the field, he would not lose.

The shock wave of the God of Destruction dissipated, and the huge steel body revealed its posture again, with the red shell reflecting the luster of metal. The eye on the chest of the Cubic Evil God moved rapidly, with bloodshot eyes covering it, as if he was furious.

Crimson Nova Trinity cannot be the target of the effect, nor can it be destroyed by the effect. Of course, the field-clearing ability of Obelisk has no effect on it.

"Can't even the power of God defeat this monster?" Kaiba whispered.

Kisara beside her unconsciously stretched out her little hand to hold the corner of his clothes.

Now, the thorny issue was thrown back to Yuei Vu.

"Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord's final effect is activated," Z-ONE said solemnly.

"Huh? There are also hidden effects?" Mokuba on the side couldn't help shouting, "It's simply cheating! This monster has too many effects, doesn't it!?"

"When I take damage from an effect," Z-ONE continued, "the other player must also receive the same amount of damage."

The expressions of everyone in the audience suddenly changed.

"The damage caused by Obelisk's ‘Soul Energy MAX' is 4000 points, which means…" Jonouchi's face turned pale.

"Oops." Yugi couldn't help but say, "If he eats this damage reflection, Yuei Vu will…"

The eye on the chest of the Cubic Evil God opened widely, and the golden arms swung like willows in the wind. Blue light emerged all over its body, like a transparent blue flame, containing endless anger.

That was the power of Obelisk!

That evil god has withstood Obelisk's power and was preparing to retaliate in the same way!

Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord struggled to swing its long arms, and the radiance of the destructive divine power illuminated its body, clearly reflecting on the bright red metal shell. The wave turned into a whirlpool and struck out, looking like another God of Destruction punching in the air.

The divine power from Obelisk, with 4000 points of reflected damage, could blast people to pieces with just a single scratch!

Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes, a golden light flashed in his Duel Disk's GY area, and a black and transparent shadow appeared behind him.

That was… Makyura the Destructor!

"The effect of Makyura the Destructor!" Yuei Vu said, "During the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate Trap Cards from my hand.

So I activated the Counter Trap ‘Trap of Board Eraser’ from my hand! "

The Counter Trap appeared at the critical moment and lay in front of Yuei Vu. The mighty impact rebounded by the Cubic Evil God violently hit the trap card, and was completely swallowed up like a flood hitting an indestructible dam.

"Trap of Board Eraser can only be activated when the opponent inflicts damage other than Battle Damage." Yuei Vu said, "Negate the Effect Damage I receive and the opponent then selects 1 card from his/her hand and discards it."

The damage was completely offset. Z-ONE said nothing or made any move, but the cards in front of him were turned over one after another and displayed to Yuei Vu. Yuei Vu picked one of them, "Indiora Doom Volt the Cubic Emperor" and sent it to the GY.

The onlookers let out a sigh of relief. Watching this duel felt like riding a roller coaster. If you don’t have a strong heart, it’s really hard to bear…

"Very good, this way the advantage is reversed." Jonouchi clenched his fists, "Although that Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord is difficult to deal with, according to the effect of ‘Relay Soul', as long as the ‘Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel' on the opponent's field is defeated, it'll be Yuei Vu's victory!

That monster’s attack power is only 1600, so it’s easy to…"

"The turn when Obelisk activates his effect, he cannot declare an attack." Kaiba glanced sideways at Jonouchi and said calmly, "Horse bone is still horse bone after all, and it is always easy to think of things very simply."

"Of course, I know this… this kind of thing!" Jonouchi muttered, "But Yuei Vu must have a way!"

Indeed, what Jonouchi said was, by no means, incorrect. Now that Z-ONE's LP has returned to zero, it was meaningless to inflict any further damage. Now Yuei Vu only needed to defeat the "Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel" to achieve victory.

"Once again, based on the effect of the ‘Makyura the Destructor' in the graveyard, I can activate a trap card from my hand!"

Yuei Vu waved his hand.

"Activate the Continuous Trap ‘Call of the Haunted' from my hand! Target 1 monster in my GY; Special Summon that target in Attack Position."

Z-ONE said calmly: "Do you want to resurrect a monster that can defeat ‘Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel' from the graveyard?"

Now Yuei Vu only needed to resurrect a monster with an attack power of more than 1600 from the graveyard, and destroy the "Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel" on Z-ONE's field through battle to win!

A card popped up from Yuei Vu's grave area. He took the card into his hand and slapped it on the Duel Disk. In an instant, endless blue electricity began to surge across the entire Duel Disk, accompanied by a sizzling crisp electric sound.

"The burning wind blew wildly across the earth, suppressing all things with absolute divine power…"

The earth shattered, and blue mist poured out of the cracks. The giant shadow poked out as if a mountain was gradually rising up, tearing the earth apart, revealing its scarlet and ferocious pupils.

Kaiba's expression suddenly changed: "Wait, could it be that…"

"Are you kidding me?" Even Jonouchi noticed something was wrong.

Yuei Vu's eyes flashed, his arms raised high, and a beam of blue light shot straight into the sky from his Duel Disk.

"Arrival! The God of Destruction, Obelisk the Tormentor – Unit No. 2!"

Like a giant who descended from ancient times, his body covers the sky and the sun.

[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]

Even President Kaiba, who had always been calm, was shocked at this time. On the left and right of Yuei Vu's field, two blue giants stood majestically like mirror images. Such a shocking scene that was rare in ten thousand years really made it impossible to remain calm.

"There are… two Tormentors?" Kaiba was shocked.

Each Egyptian God was unique. But somehow, when the three Egyptian Gods were in Yugi's hands, Yuei Vu still had his own set of three Egyptian Gods… Everyone had accepted this fact before.

But now the set of three Egyptian Gods in Atem's hand has followed him back to the underworld!

Why do you still have two Obelisks in your hand??

The Tormentor appearing at this moment was naturally the real-life version given by the system, and it has been in his hand for such a long time.

It's just that all the giant soldiers summoned by Yuei Vu so far are the original ones drawn through the duel skill "God's Anger". He has never used this real-life version.

This was the first appearance of this card.

Next to him, Aigami was also shocked – although he was actually in a state of shock the whole time: "Obelisk…there are two of them!?"

Is it a fake card?

But using God’s fake card… shouldn’t you be punished by God?

As a result, these two Obelisks actually looked like good brothers, standing there one on the left and one on the right, as if they didn't feel anything wrong with having two of them on the field.

Who is this Yuei Vu!?

At the same time, Yuei Vu felt the Millennium Ring on his body tremble violently at this moment as if the evil consciousness hidden in the ring was trembling.

It's like saying——

——I have already realized that you are Holactie the whole time!

After all, the three Egyptian Gods were actually clones of the Creator God of Light.

Therefore, although ordinary people could not copy the God Card, that wouldn't be a problem for the main deity.

"Yuei Vu = Holactie the Creator God of Light" proof +1.

"The second Obelisk…you are indeed a being destined to break the rules." Z-ONE didn't seem particularly surprised, he just murmured to himself.

Obelisk could not attack during the round when the "Soul Energy MAX" ability was activated, but that only applied to the first Tormentor. The real-life version of the Tormentor that appeared at this time also had the authority to attack!

As long as the God Hand Crusher knocked down the "Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel", the duel would end!

"Yeah!" Jonouchi and Honda brothers started their facial arts in advance, "Yuei Vu won!"

"but……"

Z-ONE's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Open the set card: Trap Card – Taunt." He said, "This card can only be activated during the opponent's Main Phase 1. Select 1 monster on my side of the field. While the selected card remains on the field, if your opponent attacks this turn, they must select the selected monster as the attack target."

The cold mechanical arm slowly lifted up and locked onto the evil god of the square realm who was baring his teeth and claws on the field.

"The target I chose, of course, is the ‘Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord'. This turn, when you attack, you can only choose it as the target of attack."

"Nani!?" Jonouchi and Honda were dumbfounded.

[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]

[Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord, ATK4500]

It was only one step away from victory.

The victory or defeat of Z-ONE was directly tied to Duza. This monster's attack power was only 1600. It was clear that only one blow, one punch from Obelisk, could win the duel, but this trap and the obstruction of the Cubic Evil God made the last step become a chasm.

"I said, the hope you gave and people's expectations of you will only make the ending of failure more cruel." Z-ONE said lightly, "The duel king can't change the future or save the world, just like you can't change this duel's ending.

You said that as long as there are still life points and there are still cards, there is still hope for the duel. But the reality is that you have no cards to play.

All you can do is accept your fate. Choose to end the turn, or obey the effect of ‘Taunt', use Obelisk to attack Crimson Nova Trinity, and accept the determined ending. "

Silence, terrifying silence.

No one made a sound, no one spoke, and even all breathing seemed to be suppressed intentionally.

It’s as if this can stop the flow of time and prevent the inevitable ending from coming.

Until Yuei Vu slowly spoke out.

"Even a wise man like you… seems to make mistakes sometimes," he said.

"Um?"

"The ending you call has not been determined yet."

Yuei Vu raised his hand and pointed at the real-life version of the Tormentor that he had just summoned.

"The effect of Obelisk the Tormentor is activated! Tribute two monsters, and destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"

"Eh!?" x10086

The audience was all shocked.

"Two Tributes?" Jonouchi blinked, "But… where are the two Tributes?"

It was President Kaiba who thought the fastest: "Could it be that…the second ‘Obelisk' has different effects from the original one?"

That was exactly what happened.

Although the Tormentor with real card effects had worse resistance than the animated version, did not have the hidden effect of "Hyper God Energy", and the effect of "Soul Energy MAX" had also changed to "destroy all monsters on the opponent's field", while the powerful ability of "giving 4000 points of effect damage" has been deleted. It could basically be said to be an all-round castration without blind spots…

…but the real card version was only more flexible than the animated version in one way.

That was, in the actual card text of the Tormentor, it only said "You can Tribute 2 monsters; destroy all monsters your opponent controls". The effect text did not say that Obelisk could not use himself as a sacrifice.

That's right, what Yuei Vu wanted to tribute for the effect here… were the two Tormentors on the field!

"I sacrifice the two ‘Obelisk the Tormentors' on the field, and destroy all the monsters on the opponent's field!"

"Use yourself as a sacrifice!?" Jonouchi was shocked, "Is there such an operation?"

And Yuei Vu quickly told everyone with his actions——

——Yes, this is how it works!

The body of the first Obelisk disappeared, turning into surging energy and filling the body of the second one. Tormentor No. 2 raised its fist high, bursting out with divine power as if to drain itself dry. All the power poured into the raised right fist until even itself became a translucent phantom.

The God of Destruction’s sacrificial blow!

Soul Energy MAX!

Released all the power of the fist, pushing everything within sight. Crimson Nova Trinity was pushed to the ground by the manic wave – although it was not destroyed by the effect.

Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel was instantly defeated by the force of the punch. The round black shell cracked open, the electric current crackled, and the huge machine fell to the ground. It was turned into scrap metal by the combined effect of impact and energy.

The trap card "Relay Soul" was also chopped into pieces, and the soul chain connecting the monsters and duelists was broken.

Z-ONE lost.
