Cross Interference

"The last blow!" Yuei Vu said, "Masked HERO Anki, attack directly!"

Gekko had 1600 LP remaining, and Anki's attack power was 2800. This blow was enough to directly establish the victory!

But Gekko was "the perfect duelist" in Pegasus's mouth, and it would be too cheap to kill him so easily.

"Open the set card!" The last card in front of Gekko was turned over, "Trap Card – Confusion Chaff! This card can only be activated when the opponent directly attacks for the second time in the same Battle Phase.

Let the opponent's second attacking monster fight with the first monster that attacked directly! "

"The first monster that attacked directly was Masked HERO Vapor."

"That's right." Gekko said, "So Anki's target of the battle is Masked HERO Vapor!"

The trap card released some kind of invisible wave, which interfered with the pitch-black hero in midair. Anki stopped swooping, held his head, and seemed to struggle in pain for a while, then turned around suddenly, and rushed towards the Masked HERO behind him.

Vapor was taken aback as if he wanted to ask, "Senior Anki, did you betray us too?". But it's a pity that he didn't have time to ask this question in the end, he could only parry two moves, before eating Anki's Rider Kick and exploding on the spot.

[Yuei Vu, LP 4000 → LP 3600]

Mokuba, who was watching the battle, turned his head: "That Gekko successfully counter Yuei Vu's attack, brother!"

"Hmph." Kaiba said lightly, "It would be too boring if it ended so easily."

He didn't continue talking, but he looked at Gekko with a little expectation.

"Gekko, even if it is impossible to win, you can be a good guinea pig," Kaiba narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yuei Vu, "Let me see how strong that guy is now."

"Then my Battle Phase is over." Yuei Vu drew another card from his hand, "I activate Continuous Spell Card – Mirage of Nightmare.

As long as this card exists, during the opponent's Standby Phase, I can draw cards until I have 4 cards in my hand, but during my Standby Phase, I have to randomly discard to the Graveyard the same number of cards I drew with this card's effect.

Then set two more cards, and I end my turn. "

"My turn, draw."

After drawing the card this time, Gekko's eyes seemed to have changed slightly. Yuei Vu instinctively saw from the subtle changes that the opponent might be about to enter an offensive rhythm next.

Yuei Vu pointed to the Continuous Spell Card beside him: "At this instant, Mirage of Nightmare's effect has been activated. I draw four cards."

Gekko was unmoved and continued to operate on his own: "Activate Pot of Greed. I draw two cards.

Then I activate a Spell Card from the hand – Card Destruction. Both players discard as many cards as possible from their hands, then each player draws the same number of cards they discarded."

"Then the special effect of 'Watapon' in the hand is activated." After drawing the card, he revealed a card in his hand, "When Watapon is added to the hand from the deck by the effect of the card, it can be directly special summoned."

With a burst of light effects, a fluffy and cute white ball appeared on the Yuexing field, with big eyes twinkling.

[Watapon, DEF 300]

He looked up at Yuei Vu.

"The two monsters you defeated before – 'Hourglass of Life' and 'Learning Elf' – are both Fairy monsters. And among the cards that were sent to my GY just now through the effect of 'Card Destruction', there were another two, so the preparations are finally completed. "

Yuei Vu's eyelids twitched.

This prerequisite!?

No way!?

Gekko moved slowly and solemnly and drew a card from his hand.

"In this way, the summoning conditions for this card are finally completed. Please watch, Yuei Vu-san. This is my trump card——

—Archlord Kristya! "

The moment the card was slapped on the Duel Disk, a light that was so sacred that it was impossible to look directly descended from the sky. A white silhouette emerged from the light. The fiery red wings spread out, and it slowly descended with a sacred halo all over its body.

[Archlord Kristya, ATK 2800]

Yuei Vu looked at the holy envoy who seemed to come with an oracle and covered the audience with endless divine power. Suddenly, he felt the urge to swear.

Fuck, why has no one ever told me that Gekko still has such a thing in his hand?

It's rare for an old Yu-Gi-Oh player not to recognize this guy. Even in the competitive environment many years ago, it still had a place. Many competitive and meta decks had eaten loss in this guy's hand.

As for the reason…

"Archlord Kristya's effect – If there are exactly 4 Fairy monsters in my GY, I can Special Summon this card directly from my hand."

Gekko explained the effect lightly: "And as long this card exists on the field, neither player can Special Summon monsters!"

Yuei Vu frowned.

Just this restriction of "no special summoning" was a nightmare for almost all meta decks back then. Not to mention its own attack power was as high as 2800 points. For most meta players, it was simply a luxury to make monsters with an attack power equal to or more than 2800 points without relying on special summons.

With the blocking effect of Archlord Kristya, Yuei Vu could use neither fusion nor Mask Change. If he didn't find a way to get rid of this monster as soon as possible, this duel might become an overwhelming disadvantage for Yuei Vu in an instant.

"Another effect of Archlord Kristya." Gekko said, "When this card is successfully Special Summoned by its own method, 1 Fairy monster in my GY will be added to my hand."

His GY area lit up with a golden glow. A card was ejected back into his hand.

"I added 'Angel O7' back into my hand."

Gekko added the monster to his hand and then revealed another Spell Card.

"Activate Equip Spell – Sacrifice of Grave Goods! Equip it to the 'Watapon' on the field. The monster that is equipped with this card can be treated as 2 Tributes." (manga card)

"Then I use the Watapon equipped with Sacrifice of Grave Goods as 2 Tributes." Gekko raised the card that was just recovered from the GY, "Tribute Summon! Come out, another trump card of mine –

– Angel O7! "

The holy light shone again, like an incandescent waterfall hanging from the side. Emerging from that light was an angel in pure white armor.

[Angel O7, ATK 2500]

Gekko was expressionless, and explained when the holy envoy came down: "The special effect of Angel O7: As long as this card exists on the field, neither player can activate monster effects."

After a pause, he smiled: "Of course, the effect of Archlord Kristya – 'neither player can Special Summon monsters' – is a Continuous effect and does not need to be activated, so it will not be affected by the use of Angel O7."

"Both of us can't special summon monsters, and can't activate monster effects, right?" Yuei Vu said.

"That's it," Gekko said.

This lineup was indeed a bit scary. Even in today's real card environment, it was a very powerful blocking interference ability.

Kaiba on the side also had to look at Gekko with admiration at this time.

"The cross-interference of two monsters, the blockade of monster abilities and special summons, this combination is really scary." He frowned, "In this way, whether it is Yuei Vu's fusion summon or transform through Mask Change, these moves won't work anymore. Gekko is indeed very different from those third-rate duelists."

"Ah?" Mokuba started to get a little more relaxed, "Then Yuei Vu is going to lose?"

"Lose?" Kaiba grinned, "How is it possible? Just watch carefully."

That was to say, Yuei Vu couldn't hear the president's words now, otherwise, he must have black lines all over his face——

——Facing Archlord Kristya and Angel O7 at the same time, even I feel a little fear. Why do you have so much confidence in me?
