Aigami: Repeatedly breaks into pieces.JPG
What the hell... Just what kind of bizarre things are you packing in your Hero Deck!!!
Why do you even have something like this!?
Aigami dumbfoundedly watched the abstract demon wave its ten fingers, with ten transparent strings shooting out and wrapping around his two "Cubic Seed Vijam" on the field.
Gain control of all Level 3 or lower Monsters. In front of such indiscriminate power from the demon, Vijam's field presence can be completely ignored. The two Vijams bound by the strings shattered into countless points of light and disappeared, then as if drawn, they coalesced and reformed on Youyu's field, appearing again in the form of Vijam.
However, they had already become mere puppets in the demon's hands.
This left Aigami's field completely empty without any defense.
"Battle." Youyu said, "Perditious Puppeteer, direct attack on Aigami."
The demon let out a sinister laugh and waved the strings in its hand, brandishing them like the scepter of a devil. The two Vijams flew forward — but not by their own volition.
The two bound Cubic Monsters crashed like two massive lead balls, transforming into two dark shadows, smashing straight at Aigami's body. They had become weapons of the demon.
Aigami gritted his teeth, nearly hearing the grinding of his own teeth. Yet he was not resigned to defeat; he had means to resist.
"Flip Cover Card!" Aigami said in a deep voice, "Trap Card 'Quaking Mirror Force'!"
"Oh?" Youyu raised an eyebrow.
"It can be activated upon an opponent's attack declaration." Aigami said, "It turns all attack position Monsters on the opponent's field face-down defense position. Furthermore, Monsters flipped by this effect cannot change their position!"
The golden sand whipped up, forming a hemispherical shield that guarded Aigami's entire field. The two Cubic Monsters hammered into the sand shield like meteor hammers, quickly triggering a backlash from the shield.
The sand and rocks formed a towering golden tornado, the two Cubic Monsters at the forefront, unable to resist, flipped forcibly by the sandstorm, becoming two face-down cards, covering Youyu's field.
Following this, the demon was not spared either. Perditious Puppeteer let out a sharp cry, its abstract face hidden in the mist twisted grotesquely, then also dissipated into smoke, transformed into a face-down card laying horizontally on the field.
All three Monsters on the field were flipped by the power of the sandstorm. Youyu was not surprised: "I see. This seems to be the method you originally planned to use against Plasma, right?"
Aigami pursed his lips, his face dark, but did not speak.
"Indeed, Plasma's ability perfectly counters your Cubic Monsters, but if they are flipped face-down then it's useless... too bad, you had to use this Trap Card ahead of time."
The Battle Phase ended, and Youyu slowly drew a card from his hand, the Destiny Hero Apocalypse.
"Use the three Monsters on the field as tributaries." The Hero card landed with a snap on the Duel Disc. "The power of destruction brings the end of all destinies, manifesting as the ultimate Hero that descends—
—Destiny Hero Plasma!!!"
The air seemed to grow heavier, the ground became a blood-red mire. A claw reached out, and a sinister bloodstained Hero gradually rose, with blood flowing along its eerie patterns, its pitch-black bone wings unfurling like a cloak, hiding the sky.
Destiny Hero Plasma, Summoned!
[Destiny Hero Plasma, ATK 1900]
"When Plasma is on the field, all Monster effects on the opponent's field are negated... Of course, I believe you are already aware of this part." Youyu smiled.
Aigami grit his teeth, sweat dripping down his face.
He clearly knew that this Hero in front of him had a devastatingly destructive ability towards his Cubic Deck, Plasma's terrifying power could turn his whole array of flashy Cubic Monsters into harmless chihuahuas.
But he was still forcing himself to remain calm.
Plasma was not absolutely invincible. Although it was yet another ultimate weapon against his Cubic Deck — honestly, Aigami felt that everything Youyu pulled out during this duel were similar things — it also had weaknesses.
Generally, Plasma's biggest weakness is that its actual attack power is only 1900, making it easy to knock down — but for the Cubic Deck which relies generally on Monster effects to build attack power, it's a bit too high.
Fortunately, besides sealing Monster effects, Plasma itself has no resistance against Magic Trap Cards. Aigami felt he could still salvage the situation...
"You're thinking that eliminating Plasma gives you hope, right?" Youyu suddenly said.
Aigami: "..."
He did not speak, nor did he dare meet Youyu's eyes directly.
As if afraid that eye contact would expose his true thoughts.
"That's not incorrect thinking, although it might be difficult for you, it's not impossible to eliminate Plasma." Youyu shrugged, "So let me be a bit more cautious."
He said, slowly drawing another card from his hand.
Aigami's eyes widened, watching the card Youyu was about to play, his heart suddenly alarmed with an overwhelming feeling of ominous premonition...
"Continuous Magic - Prohibition." Youyu said, "Declare a card name, the declared card... cannot be used in this duel!
The card I want to declare, of course..."
Youyu smiled kindly yet strangely.
"'Cubic Seed Vijam'."
Aigami: "!!??"
The name "Cubic Seed Vijam" appeared, its card image affixed like a wanted poster on Prohibition's card image. This signifies an absolute prohibition in this duel; the declared card cannot be Summoned, cannot be activated, cannot be used as a material for any Summon, and even cannot appear on the field.
Checkmate.
Aigami stood stupefied, in disbelief.
No way, who plays cards like this?
Such a thing isn't even a duel at all!
As Duel King, wouldn't dueling this way make your conscience hurt!?
"Ahem, I'll set another card face-down, end turn." Youyu coughed lightly.
Seeing Aigami still standing there dumbfounded, without any movement for a long time, he even "considerately" reminded: "Alright, it's your turn now, draw a card.
But it's alright if you want to think longer, I'm a very generous person, I can wait..."
Aigami was pulled back to reality by that provoking voice, biting his lip, bracing himself and lifting his hand.
"My... turn..."
