Superconducting Wave - Thunder Cannon!
Four cards in hand, Slifer's remaining attack power is four thousand! If this direct attack goes through, the duel will end, and the Great Evil God Sock will meet his ultimate fate!
The roar of the Egyptian God echoed, golden light burst forth like fireworks. The impact of the superconducting wave glided past the Evil God transformed into Slifer, like an unsheathed sword, piercing straight into the reflective mirror behind Bakura. The vast impact reflected a beautiful arc on the mirror, exploding at Bakura's back!
The golden curtain of light and thunder surged like an erupting volcano, light and smoke engulfing everything on the field.
Seeing Bakura devoured by Obelisk's attack, the soldiers watching even began to shout—they believed no one should survive such an attack from a god.
Even the priests showed delighted smiles. For days, the Thief King had been a thorn in the palace's side, but now it seemed this little thief would finally turn to dust under the Egyptian God's punishment.
"We did it!" Honda and Jonouchi hugged each other, teaming up for a good buddy double face show.
"No... that's not right." Mana said dumbfounded, "That person... his Soul Power hasn't disappeared!"
"Eh?"
Sure enough, as she said. After the explosion of the superconducting wave, a figure soon appeared in the smoke. His robe was tattered, his body was charred in many places, yet he stood stubbornly, emitting a gloomy and indistinct sound.
"What's going on?" Honda was surprised, "Obelisk's attack power is four thousand, shouldn't he have lost?"
But the fact is, Bakura still stood there, and the duel hadn't ended.
[Bakura, LP 3501]
Yugi realized: "That Evil God is gone!"
"Quick-play Magic 'Mystik Wok'," Bakura said coldly, "At that moment I activated this card. I sacrificed 'The Wicked Avatar' on my field, recovering its attack value... which is 4001 Life Points."
[Bakura, LP 3500 → LP 7501 → LP 3501]
"Damn it, such a persistent guy!" Honda clenched his fist in anger, "I thought finally..."
Dark Yugi said: "But in this case, the invincible Evil God has been defeated!"
Hearing this, Slifer behind Youyu seemed to think "I was the one who defeated him, I'm awesome," proudly wagging its tail.
"Turn ends," Youyu said.
Although it's a pity that Bakura couldn't be defeated, at least the most troublesome strongest Evil God has been dealt with; the outcome isn't bad.
"Just a moment of luck, don't get too arrogant," Bakura snorted, "It's my turn!"
A new stone slab fell. Bakura's gaze swept over the slab, then looked coldly at the Slifer flipping through the air opposite him.
"First, I must find a way to deal with that troublesome Egyptian God, right?"
Bakura squinted his eyes, raised his hand to point at a stone slab.
"I summon 'Necroworld Banshee', in attack position!"
The pale-skinned petite undead girl appeared on Bakura's field, barefoot, her slender body like a reed.
[Necroworld Banshee, Attack Power 1800]
"Then Slifer's effect activates," Youyu said, "Thunder Ball summon!"
Slifer opened the mouth on its head, the lightning of the Thunder Ball piercing through the air. The petite undead girl was no match for the mighty Egyptian God; with just one strike, she hadn't steadied herself before hurriedly retreating in the electric storm.
Bakura didn't care: "Then I activate 'Necroworld Banshee's effect from the graveyard! Banish this card from the game, and from my hand or deck, activate a Field Magic 'Zombie World'!"
Everyone's faces changed in shock.
"And 'Zombie World' again!?"
At this moment, the stone slab sealing the undead field appeared once more above Bakura's head. He raised his arm high, shouting: "Let the forbidden land for the living, the paradise of the undead—
——Zombie World!"
Rich black mist rolled in, the spirits and miasma once again controlled the entire world.
"This way all the monsters in the graveyard become Undead-Type again," Bakura shouted, "Banish 'Mezuki' from the game, summon once more—
——devouring everything, obliterating all deity, The Wicked Eraser!"
The enormous and sinister body of the deity emerged from beyond the void once more, enveloped in a transparent dark ink-like shadow, the lines of its body twisted, filled with the beauty of violence.
[The Wicked Eraser, Attack Power 2000]
"The effect of 'Return of the Dragon Lords'." Youyu said, "Because Eraser was resurrected from the graveyard, I draw three cards."
"Hmph, suit yourself, this is your last time using that effect anyway." Bakura sneered, "Of course, at this moment, Slifer's ability has also been activated, right?"
Indeed, at this moment, the mouth on Slifer has once again opened wide, azure light balls gathering, swirling with thunder and lightning.
Slifer: Master, I'm out of control, I'm confused!
A thunderous blast was unleashed, and as expected, there was no suspense. Eraser self-destructed again, an endless darkness swallowed all, and the sky dragon let out an unwilling wail before retreating under the power that annihilated everything.
Bakura chose to resurrect Eraser instead of The Wicked Dreadroot who could inflict more damage. Perhaps because the specially summoned evil god must return to the graveyard at the end phase, Bakura felt disdain for the card 'Return of the Dragon Lords' rather than greed for more damage.
Using Eraser's effect, the magic traps in the backfield could be dealt with as well. Thus, Youyu and Yugi can no longer rely on 'Return of the Dragon Lords' to infinitely replenish resources.
However, this also means his 'Zombie World' disappears simultaneously, making it impossible to freely resurrect evil gods from the graveyard.
But Bakura's offense has not yet ended.
"The third 'Mezuki' in the graveyard is removed from play!" Bakura shouted, "Revive an Undead-Type monster from the graveyard! Even if I can't summon an evil god, my graveyard still holds powerful undead creatures—
—Return to the field! Red Ogre!"
The red-bodied ogre squatted down, its head topped with pitch-black horns, carrying a dark iron rod on its shoulder.
[Red Ogre, Attack Power 2800]
"Go, Red Ogre!" Bakura ordered, "Direct attack!"
Once again, Youyu and Yugi's side of the field was cleared by Eraser, the front and back completely unguarded, and the Red Ogre approached, unhindered!
Bakura's lips curled.
Finally.
After such a fierce duel, he can finally land an effective blow on these two Duel Kings!
However, he cannot.
"I activate the effect of 'Necro Gardna' in the graveyard." Youyu said, "This card is removed from play, nullifying an opponent's attack once."
"What?" Bakura exclaimed.
The iron rod of Red Ogre slammed down fiercely but struck against the solid illusion of Necro Gardna and had to retreat.
"Oh, oh, amazing, Youyu!" Jonouchi shouted excitedly from the side, "A flawless defense!"
"Tch, set two cards, turn end!" Bakura sneered.
At this moment, the Egyptian priests and soldiers were still immersed in the shock of the Egyptian God being defeated again.
Priest Shada couldn't help but say, "The god has been defeated again..."
"The evil god truly possesses terrifying power." Priest Kareem added, "This battle has surpassed our understanding. Now, all we can do is place our hope on the Pharaoh."
And their Pharaoh never disappoints!
"It's my turn!" It's Yugi's turn again, "I activate the Magic Card 'Card of Sanctity' from my hand! Both players draw cards from their deck until they each have six in hand!
Then, the effect of 'Illusionist' in hand allows it to be Special Summoned without a sacrifice by discarding a card!"
A card was sent to the graveyard, and the magician with a billowing cloak and a question mark on his chest immediately appeared on the field.
[Illusionist, Attack Power 2000]
"Summoning a high-level monster at once?" Bakura laughed, "But this kind of guy can't defeat my 'Red Ogre'."
"I know." Yugi smiled, "But the point isn't the 'Illusionist' itself, it's the card I just discarded to the graveyard as its summon condition."
Bakura was taken aback: "No way..."
"That's right! Now, I will awaken the power of that card!" Yugi drew a card from his hand, "I activate the Magic Card 'Monster Reborn' from my hand! Revive the monster sleeping in the graveyard!
With scorching winds raging across the earth, using absolute divine power to suppress all! Descend—
—Obelisk the Tormentor!"
