Chapter 102 The Whole Bucket of Fear-Energy Peptides
Flies, scorpions, spiders…
It is clearly a dragon, but it has been forcibly sewn together with an insect, and stands there so brazenly against the laws of nature.
The defender frowned, looking solemnly at the monsters on the field and the cards used to set the pendulum scale.
No, it's less like stitching and more like dissolving, or growing together in reverse...
Is this...something from outer space, an "extraterrestrial object"?
How ugly!
"My turn, draw a card."
It cannot activate the effects of Spell Cards or Monster Cards, and cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.
"No traps or blockades?"
"In the rules of [Order], trap cards need to be set for one turn before they can be activated."
The messenger looked at the defender as if he were a fool.
"Since your trap cards can't be used this turn, why should I block their activation?"
"Is this how you remember it...the preparation stage?"
Neither side made a move.
"Main stage."
Nothing happened.
"Entering the combat stage."
The defenders still took no action.
"If you can't do anything, just give up. There's no point in delaying!"
The messenger could no longer contain himself, and the cracks on his clone's body increased, with more and more "red lines" emerging from the cracks.
Xing Liang, or rather, Nian Zhong.
It is the being born from the "evil" stripped away by the "True Ancestor" in order to become the perfect executioner.
Even the True Ancestor feared his existence, sending him into reincarnation to obliterate his will and power, causing his true nature to be "covered" by the memories of his multiple reincarnations and slumbering.
They simply couldn't believe that the [True Ancestor] would have such an obvious weakness.
After several verifications, it was confirmed that the second executioner who had caused them so much trouble was the so-called "evil," and his relationship with the [True Ancestor] was also confirmed.
However, those who have already ascended the steps will not be corrupted by them.
"You can't kill me. As long as I'm alive, you'll never be able to enter the Heavenly Prison!"
Beyond the heavens, the figure, covered in blood and fighting alone against the gods, made them grit their teeth in hatred, yet they were helpless against it.
His rank was higher than that of the executioners, even a class higher than that of the True Ancestor, yet he was unable to completely kill them.
The "evil" that has been completely covered by the soul is bound by those false memories. Like the [True Ancestor], it is unwilling to sink and attempts to take the basic world away from the "sea" and ascend.
If you won't cooperate, then I'll make you do it yourself.
Those who were executed after ascending the steps could not touch them, but what about before ascending the steps?
Killing "evil" will only put him back into the cycle of reincarnation, but if we take advantage of his weakness, erase the memories that bind his soul, pollute his spirit, and assimilate his body... in the basic world, who can stop "evil" from unleashing its true nature and originating from the [True Ancestor]?
Unable to leave his original body, his clone, traversing time and space, arrived with utter malice, heading straight for Xing Liang.
As a consequence of recklessly interfering with time, the makeshift body of the messenger will develop more and more cracks over time, until the shell collapses.
The soul fragments residing within will also perish, and the damage will be reflected back to the original body. The duel must end before that happens!
Thinking of this, the messenger spoke again: "Why resist so much? Even if you escape this time, what about next time, and the time after that? My clones will keep coming to this space-time until 'evil' falls."
“He is not ‘evil,’ he is my benefactor, he is the executioner I admire!”
A card was slammed onto the duel disk, and the surging psychic power instantly drowned out the babbling, pressing down on the messenger like an overwhelming tidal wave.
"At the end of the battle phase, I activate [Battle of the Titans]!"
"Until the number of cards on your field is equal to the number of cards on your field, your opponent must banish cards from your field face down!"
A blinding light shone forth, dispelling the surrounding black mist. The deformed monsters vanished into nothingness amidst their screams.
"Damn it!"
The outcome of a fierce battle is a noble effect on players.
The messenger's eyes flickered with red light, and he left behind only the illusion of the monster area, sending the rest into darkness.
The Pendulum Effect of an Unseen Devourer Monster in the Pendulum Zone only works if there is an Unseen Devourer Monster in the Monster Zone; leaving it alone is meaningless.
"In the second main phase, I usually summon [Dysmorphia Frenzy Dragon - Therizinosaurus]."
Fear-inducing Peptide Mad Dragon?
It's something I've never seen before in the future...
Unlike the messenger whose face gradually darkened, Xing Liang, possessed by the Defender, looked sadly at the back of the scythe dragon on the field. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he realized that she could no longer hear him, all his words could only turn into a sigh.
If only I had been stronger back then…
"The appearance effect of the Therizinosaurus!"
As if to dispel the pent-up frustration in his heart, he shouted out the effect of the Therizinosaurus.
"Set to deck, [Dreadnought Dragon's Rampage]!"
"Four more cards are placed face down, end of turn!"
One before and five after, the standard field of phlegm peptides.
Pieces began to fall off the messenger's body, and the wildly dancing "red lines" on his body indicated his excitement at that moment.
So, the Fearful Dragon deck is just a deck that relies on traps to unleash its power! Damn!
"My turn, draw a card!"
"During your preparation phase, I pay half of my Life Points to activate the Face Card: Fearful Dragon's Fury, choosing my Scythe Dragon and your Deceptive Destruction!"
Defender LP8000→4000
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist that had been dispersed around him gathered again, ignoring his mental defenses and surging into his body, gripping his heart tightly.
His body swayed, and he nearly fell. Even the excruciating pain in his heart couldn't stop him from looking away from the Therizinosaurus.
"boom!"
If the Therizinosaurus is destroyed, you can banish one Trap Card from your Graveyard to activate this effect, and Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Dreadnought" monster from your Graveyard, other than Therizinosaurus.
However, since there are no other "Dreadnought" monsters of level 4 or lower in the graveyard, this effect cannot be activated.
Just like that day.
"It's really foolish to voluntarily lower your base score."
Ignoring the defender who was still lost in his grief, the messenger began his turn.
"Entering the main phase, I activate [Pot of Greed], randomly removing 6 face-down cards and drawing 2 from my deck!"
He doesn't need the extras at all; the extras are for dividing.
It doesn't matter if you discard anything you don't need.
"Pay half of your Life Points to activate the [Dreadnought] chain. If the total Levels reach a maximum of 8 or less, Special Summon up to 2 [Dreadnought] monsters from your Graveyard."
Defender LP4000→2000
"Pay half of your Life Points to chain and activate 'Dreadnought Frenzy'. Send 1 Fusion Material Monster from your Deck and 1 from your Extra Deck of the 'Dreadnought Frenzy' Fusion Monster Card to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."
Defender LP2000→1000
"Pay half of your Life Points to chain and activate 'Dreadnought Domain'. Send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on the 'Dreadnought Domain' Fusion Monster Card from your hand, Deck, or field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck."
Defender LP1000→500
C1 A pot overflowing with greed, C2 Alarm, C3 Excitement, C4 Domain.
As if he had lost his mind, the defender frantically paid out his life points, completely ignoring the strange sensation coming from his heart.
An emotion called "madness" spread through the air.
"Loyalty to my King! Send Scythe Dragon and Diplodocus from the Graveyard to Fusion Summon [Dreadnought Queen - Nail Dragon]!"
"The deck gives you Graveyard Dragon, the Extra Deck gives you Graveyard Wyvern, let's clear away the enemies before the King! Fusion Summon, [Dreadnought Dragon - Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex]!"
"With the King still alive, how can we retreat? Return, sickle dragon, and... [Dreadnought Frenzy Dragon - Brachiosaurus]!"
The essence of phytoretin is a stimulant. The closer the body is to death and the more pain it experiences, the more unimaginable potential it can unleash.
"Who exactly is the one from outer space?"
Sensing the madness of the person before him, even the envoy couldn't help but complain.
Compared to you, I seem quite rational.
As soon as the messenger finished drawing cards, the defender couldn't wait to activate its effect again.
"The effect of the Scythe Dragon upon its entry: Set [Dreadnought Dragon] from the Deck without taking damage!"
"Lianglong's entry effect: Sends [Dreadnought Carapace] from the Deck to the Graveyard!"
"Pay half of your life points to trigger the Queen's effect in a chain reaction. Remove the Excitement effect from the Graveyard and copy its effects to activate!"
Defender LP500→250
"I send Graveyard Dragon from my Deck, Graveyard Wyvern from my Extra Deck, and Fusion Summon... [Kyverapeptide Mad Dragon Jostanberg Stealth Wyvern]."
Instead of fusing a Tyrannosaurus Rex, they chose a Pteranodon, which is usually only used as a fusion material.
"When my base score is below 2000, the Therizinosaurus's attack power increases by 500, and the Brachiosaurus deals 500 damage to you!"
Therizinosaurus ATK 1500 → 2000
Liang Long charged forward and lashed out at the messenger with his tail, further accelerating the latter's physical collapse.
"Damn ants!"
Messenger LP8000→7500
He had initially admired the defender's madness and even considered recruiting him, but suddenly his murderous intent was awakened.
"Set the Pendulum Scale with Sword Spirit at Scale 9 and Gluttony at Scale 5, and Pendulum Summon Illusion from the Extra Deck!"
Because of Gluttony's pendulum effect, the monster effect lockout is re-established.
A layer of black mist enveloped the group of dinosaurs on the Defenders' field.
"The pendulum effect of Sword Soul allows this card to return to my hand when I perform a Pendulum Summon, after which I reset the Pendulum Scale of [Invisible Devourer - Melancholy]!"
"As long as you control an 'Invisible Devourer' monster, neither player can chain-activate the effects of Spells, Trap Cards, or Monsters!"
"Enter the war level!"
The attack power of Liang Long, as indicated by the attack statement, is only 1000 points, while the attack power of the feigned attack is a full 2750.
Not to mention the defender only has a meager 250 base points!
"When your battle phase begins, I will pay half of my base points to activate [Terror Peptide Mad Dragon Reversal]."
Defender LP250→250
If a Wyvern is present and your Life Points are below 2000, you can activate a Trap Card without paying Life Points.
"Excluding the shell of a Counter Trap Card from the Graveyard, this effect becomes the same as the effect when that Counter Trap Card is activated."
"Special Summon 1 'Dinosaur Token' (Dinosaur-Type, DARK, Level 10, ATK 0/DEF 3000) to my field. This turn, as long as the Token Special Summoned by this effect is on your field, your opponent cannot target other monsters for attacks."
[Korfenatin-Dragon Derivative] DEF3000
You can only attack minions that have only taunt.
"...I declare the end of this round."
Queen, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Pteranodon, Therizinosaurus, Carapace... have you all returned?
At this moment, the Defenders have 6 types of Phobic Monsters on the field.
He stared at the field in a daze for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
No, it's not time yet.
"My turn, draw a card!"
At the very least, we must first eliminate the pests that attempt to disrupt the order.
"In the main phase, I pay half of my Life Points to activate the Queen's effect. I also activate the effect of the Graveyard Field, which is used to copy the effect of the Queen. I send the Pteranodon and Brachiosaurus on the field to the Graveyard as Materials to Fusion Summon a second Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Defender LP 250 → 250 (Pterodactyl effect)
"Enter the war level!"
The minions with only 2750 attack power were easily torn apart by the Fear Peptides.
"Ho!"
The Tyrannosaurus Rex tightened its jaws, biting down hard on the messenger. The latter tried to resist, but was suppressed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's roar and unable to move.
"Damn... ants!"
Finally, it was cut in half.
Messenger LP0
The duel is over.
The monsters on the field dissipated along with the space, leaving only the defender with 250 life points lying alone on the ground.
If he hadn't fused with and summoned a pterosaur to lock his life points, his life points would probably be below 100, and he wouldn't even be able to maintain consciousness right now.
He cannot fall down yet.
At the very least, bring Mr. Nianzhong back first.
He got up and was about to call upon the nearby Netherworld Dragon to join forces when several "red threads" entangled him.
He turned around in horror. The two halves of the body that were on the ground were now only half, and the other half was hanging on him.
"You've made a mistake."
The other half of the messenger's body had disintegrated to almost nothing, with only a few fragments held together by the "red thread" to barely survive. It was clear that he would not last much longer.
But it's still more than enough to deal with a defender.
"First, you should have left as soon as the duel was over. Second, someone of your lowly status like you can't kill me!"
The "red thread" wrapped itself tightly around the defender, giving him no time to resist, and forcibly dragged him away from his body.
The defender uses telekinetic chains to lock himself and his body in place, but against the higher-level "red line," such resistance is utterly futile.
Sure enough, in the end, he couldn't do anything.
Just as the chains were about to break, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.
"Alright, let's change players."
The defender was gently pushed out of the body.
Xing Liang, or rather, Nian Zhong, who had regained his memories, took over the body again.
Faced with the erosion of the "red line," he uttered only one word.
"roll."
"boom!"
The "red threads" all broke, but before they could dissipate, they were forcibly bound together, forming a "ball of yarn".
"Hmm, I see, I see."
Nianzhong grasped the ball of yarn and instantly read all the memories of this clone.
"Want to influence the future by traveling through time? Then..."
An ancient and weathered halo appeared, slowly rotating beneath its feet.
"I command time to use this moment as its anchor point and seal the past."
An invisible wave of mental energy spread rapidly, and a crisp "click" sound faintly echoed between heaven and earth, as if something had been locked.
With this moment as the dividing line, no one can ever go back to the past before this point.
