Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 393 Instant Kill with a Second Move

"I activate the Spell Card [Planetary Transformation], select one Field Spell Card from my Deck and add it to my hand. I also add [True Emperor's Domain] to my hand!"

"Then I will activate the Spell Card [Pantheistic Emperor], discard the Continuous Trap Card [True Emperor] from my hand, and then draw two cards."

"Using the effect of 【Emperor's Knight Teresella】, reveal my Field Spell Card 【True Emperor's Domain】, and Special Summon this card from my hand."

"I Special Summon [Mithra, Retainer of the Thunder Emperor] from my hand, and Summon a Retainer Token to your field. I Tribute Thesera and Mithra to Tribute Summon [Burning Flame Emperor Testaros], the Flame Emperor who emerges from the lava! Explode! [Burning Flame Emperor Testaros]!"

"When the effect of Explosive Flame Emperor is activated, when this card is successfully Tribute Summoned, check your hand and discard 1 card."

This way, we can confirm whether the opponent is that freakish emperor. Wang Teng checked Di Xing's hand and couldn't help but smirk. "As expected, there's the Fallen Angel Nurse. Too bad, you've run into me, the Great Emperor Wang Teng."

"I discard your [Fallen Angel Nurse - Refikul]. If the discarded card is a monster card, you inflict damage equal to the monster's Level x 200 on your Life Points. Refikul is a Level 4 monster, so you inflict 800 damage."

The Blazing Emperor stretched out his massive hand, snatched Refiku from Di Xing's grasp, and crushed her instantly. The resulting flames dealt Di Xing 800 points of damage.

"Since the damage cap is only 2400, isn't this effective damage value halved? It's the same as DL's," Di Xing said nonchalantly.

"Then, because [Emperor's Knight Teresera] was sent to the Graveyard, its effect activated, Special Summoning [Emperor's Knight Adria] from the Deck. Adria's effect activated, Special Summoning [Emperor's Knight Aidis] from the Deck."

"I activate [True Emperor's Domain], then banish the Spell Card [Pan-God Emperor] from my Graveyard. I then select one of three Continuous Trap Cards from my Deck [Emperor's Fusion], and you can choose one. Of course, you don't get to choose; I'll add Emperor's Fusion to my hand."

"I will set two cards face down and end this turn!"

Wang Teng is now very confident because his current blockade is almost perfect. [True Emperor's Domain] prevents his opponent from Special Summoning monsters from the Extra Deck, and [Emperor's Melt] negates the effects of monsters other than Tribute Summons.

This way, even if the opponent summons Fallen Angel Nurse, its effect will be negated. Besides, the only Fallen Angel Nurse in the freakish Royal's hand was discarded by himself.

Furthermore, the other card he had set on his field was a Continuous Trap, "Combo Emperor," which could be Tribute Summoned during his opponent's turn. The Level 8 Emperor in Wang Teng's hand was none other than "Frozen Emperor Mebius," whose Tribute Summon could destroy three Spell/Trap cards on the field.

If the Perverted Emperor tries to attack himself using "Side Effects of the Drug" instead of summoning the Fallen Angel Nurse, he can summon Frozen Emperor Mebius in the next round during his opponent's turn to destroy the Perverted Emperor's trap card, since trap cards cannot be activated during the turn they are face-down.

Furthermore, his Extra Deck is empty, and the "Three-Choice" combo is ineffective against him, so he's guaranteed to win!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"At this very moment, I activate the Continuous Trap Card [Emperor's Melt]! Hahaha, I have won this duel!"

"Is that so? I activate the spell card [Hand Card Annihilation]. Both players discard all their cards and then draw the same number of cards."

"Oh no!" The [Frozen Ice Emperor Mebius] in Wang Teng's hand was sent to the graveyard.

Di Xing glanced at the Frozen Emperor who had been sent to the graveyard and said, "It seems your face-down card really is the [Combo Emperor], but it's a pity you threw it away yourself!"

"Damn it!" Wang Teng angrily drew a card, and it was [Emperor of Vengeance Gaius]. Fortunately, he could still banish one card, the Perverted Emperor.

Di Xing glanced at the card he had drawn and smiled victoriously. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Whirlwind] to destroy the card you set to face."

"What!?"

A gust of wind shattered Wang Teng's [Combo Emperor] attack.

"Then I activated the Spell Card 'Fallen Angel's Ring,' which can revive one 'Fallen Angel' monster in my Graveyard in Defense Position. I revive the Fallen Angel Nurse - Refikul from my Graveyard." The bandaged Fallen Angel Nurse returned to the field.

"True Emperor's Domain can only block the Special Summon of monsters from the Extra Deck, not those from the Graveyard," Di Xing kindly reminded his opponent.

"you!"

"No need to thank me. I'll activate the spell card [Golden Goblin] again. I draw 1, you lose 1000, and then I'll set two cards to end this turn."

"It's my turn, draw a card."

"At this moment, I activate the [Gift Card] card and deduct 3000 HP from you!"

Wang Teng lost the match. "Damn it, this guy can kill someone instantly with his last move!"

The forum exploded again.

"That deck is insane! It can one-shot people even when going second!"

What to do? Even Emperor Wang Teng lost to him!

Ultimately, isn't it a problem with the rules? A character with 4000 HP is too easily killed by a Fallen Angel Nurse combination.

Di Xing, who was also browsing the forum, nodded in agreement, "That's right, which is why cards like [Fallen Angel Nurse] and [Fork in the Road] are all banned in the Duel Links international server."

So what do we do?

"Should we attack first and buy him time?" The very same shrewd man who first suggested this stalling tactic spoke up again.

"Didn't I already tell you? We're short on points too!"

"Yeah, this competition only counts wins; you don't lose points for losing, so losing isn't scary, what's scary is not having enough time!"

"Yes, I just heard from my roommate that he attacked first and summoned a Tier 3 Xyz Monster, 'Iron Giant,' and the opponent immediately surrendered."

"I'm afraid the opponent is that freakish Emperor. The Steel Giant has an effect that reduces the effect damage he receives to zero. It's a pity I don't have that card."

Look! Even that freakish emperor is rushing to accumulate wins.

"That's right! It won't take that freak a long time to kill us. Let's hurry up and start the next game. We won't keep running into that freak."

"That's right. So, those of us with a control-oriented deck should try to attack first, while those with an aggressive deck should try to attack later, to speed up the scoring!"

"But control-type decks are slow to develop. If it's a complex deck like the Beastmaster deck, by the time he sets up his deck, the opponent has already finished three games!"

"Then let's try to use an aggressive deck!"

And so, with everyone generally favoring an aggressive, fast-paced style, Di Xing's Little KC Cup progressed very smoothly. He became increasingly adept at quickly defeating his opponents, and occasionally he would switch to the Lightning King deck to give his opponents a little surprise.

By 5:55 PM, Di Xing's win count had reached fourth place. He was just one step away from securing the top three rewards, so he excitedly clicked the start button for the final duel...
