"End of the turn phase, you wouldn't forget your own Chaos Warrior's effect, would you?"
Just then, a Dimensional Rift opened on DD's field, and a beam of golden light flew out, turning into a card that landed in DD's hand.
Yugen nodded: "The hand card excluded from the game by the ability given by the 'Knight of the Night' to the Chaos Warrior will return to the opponent's hand in the end phase of the next opponent's turn."
"That's right, the card you excluded is now back in my hand."
DD sinisterly shook the card in his hand, squinting his eyes.
With this card added, Blood Demon D reached its strongest state. By then, the duel could practically be declared over.
"My turn, draw a card."
Yugen revealed the card he drew.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll.' Exclude from the game the three Magic Cards 'Adversity's Treasure Scroll,' 'Price Reduction Shopping,' and 'Super Warrior's Bud' from the graveyard, and draw two cards."
Three Magic Cards appeared from his graveyard, transformed into ephemeral golden glows, and disappeared from the field. Yugen drew two cards.
"Next, summon in defense mode 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman.'"
The blue hero, always wearing a confident smile, flew onto the field surrounded by bubbles, half-crouched at the front.
"Once Bubble Hero is successfully summoned, if there are no other cards on your field, draw two more cards from your deck." (Original effect)
Yugen drew two additional cards, glanced at them, and then covered all his hand cards face-down.
"Place three cards face-down, and end the turn."
"So you're using this kind of weak Elemental Hero to stall? Too weak, far too weak! In front of the Ultimate Hero, such lower-level heroes don't even qualify to take the stage!"
DD continued.
"My turn, draw a card!"
As he drew a card, Yugen raised his hand and flipped over his backfield.
"Activate face-down card, Trap Card 'Overlord's Monopoly.'
This card can only be activated during the opponent's preparation phase, and for this turn, the opponent cannot enter the battle phase."
"Oh, you're trying to use this method to seal the attack of the Ultimate Hero? That's an idea." DD sneered, "Then first, let me activate the card excluded by you, this card is the key to liberating the true power of Ultimate D—"
Saying this, he revealed the Magic Card in his hand. But during activation, he bizarrely inserted the card face-up into the top of his own deck.
"Magic Card 'D-Force,' activate!"
Aideqi exclaimed: "D-Force? There's actually a Magic that activates by inserting back into the top of the deck?"
"That's right, after D-Force is activated, it must be inserted at the very top of your own deck face-up!" DD declared, "With D-Force sitting at the top of my deck, during my draw phase, I cannot conduct a normal draw.
But at this cost, I can release the strongest power of Blood Demon D!"
Blood Demon D roared, bone wings expanded, and its whole body seemed to be engulfed in blood-colored flames, with strength and aura skyrocketing.
"Under the empowerment of 'D-Force,' Blood Demon D releases its hidden effect, all monster effects on the opponent's field are negated!"
"What?" Aideqi was shocked.
All monster effects negated, and it's a continuous ability, almost the strongest level suppression!
"Moreover, while D-Force is at the top of the deck, all effects of any card targeting your own field cards are negated!"
This is described in the animation, probably meaning that Magic Traps and monster effects targeting your own field cards, activation, and effects are all negated and destroyed.
In the animation, Blood Demon D does not have the unilateral Skill Extraction ability and must be paired with D-Force to release this hidden effect. In this aspect, the physical card was indeed strengthened. Physical card Blood Demon D comes with the ability to silence the whole field, and all effects on the opponent's field are negated.
However, animation Blood Demon D can steal and absorb the effects of monsters, which the physical card does not have this advantage.
Although D-Force was coveted by physical card players for a long time, it has been transcribed into the physical card today, and actually, it's much stronger than in the animation.
The D-Force in the physical card is Continuous Magic. The animation D-Force can only make cards on your field become the target of the opponent's Magic Trap and nullify the opponent's activation and destroy it, while the physical card D-Force makes cards on your field not become the target of any effects, including monster effects.
Moreover, the physical card D-Force added an original new effect, Blood Demon D's Attack Power increases by the number of monsters in both graveyards x100 points, not only cannot become the effect target of any card, but also cannot be destroyed by the opponent's effects, gaining a stronger resistance than the original.
Additionally, when D-Force is on the field, Blood Demon D can attack twice in one battle phase, which is also an original effect not found in the animation.
So all in all, Blood Demon D's whole system in physical card is greatly enhanced compared to animation. If one must say where the physical card D-Force might be lacking, it could be that the physical card D-Force as Continuous Magic, when activated will stay on the field and can be easily cleared by backfield cleaning tools like Great Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster type AOE.
While in the animation, D-Force when activated does not stay on the field, instead is inserted into the top of the deck, so usually, the means to destroy Magic Traps cannot reach it.
"Well, although it has gained resistance, it is only the effect on Blood Demon D that's negated, if the battle phase is skipped then indeed it cannot attack..."
DD paused, squinting his eyes.
"But that doesn't mean my attack is completely blocked! The effect absorbed by Blood Demon D from 'Chaos Warrior' can exclude the opponent's field monster from the game.
Exclude 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' from the game!"
Blood Demon D held up the dragon head in its hand high, the blood shot out as if it condensed into the shape of a blade. A sword cleave, the surging Sword Qi struck the confident hero Bubble Hero, causing a dimensional rift to open, and Bubble Hero was absorbed into it and disappeared.
"Additionally, the effect granted by Knight of the Night can exclude one opponent's hand card once per turn... well, although I wish to do that, alas, you have no hand cards."
DD shrugged, glanced at Yugen's two cards covered in the backfield, and chuckled.
"Seems you anticipated this, deliberately covering the cards to evade exclusion... Heh, impressive. Struggle as much as you can, your struggle only makes the soul more delectable, providing Blood Demon D with better nourishment."
"As expected."
Yugen said calmly.
"The nourishment of Blood Demon D? Till now, using this card... how many people have been devoured?"
Aideqi suddenly turned, looking at DD.
Using Blood Demon D's card... to devour humans?
"Not many. Regrettably, I have never used this card in public over these ten years... well, occasionally there were dark duels in the Underworld where it was used, and it did eat quite a few people.
But the most memorable, of course, was the first time. The first person devoured by this Blood Demon D card..."
He squinted, also glancing at Aideqi beside.
"Is your father, Ed."
Ed: "!"
