Chapter 194
[Race: Beast Warrior] [Rank-4] [Attribute: Fire]
[ATK: 2200] [DEF: 1800]
"Isn't it the [Twelve Beasts] this time?" ZEXAL murmured to himself. [Kuiyan Star King-Song Hu], what effect will it have...
"[Kuiyan Star King-Song Hu], the effect is activated. This card can only be activated when the super summon is successful. Cover 1 [Fire Dance] magic and trap card from the deck. I will use the continuous magic [Fire Dance- [Tianji]] covers and activates."
Following Hoshimi Hitomi's operation, a crimson flame halo appeared on the field, like tomorrow: "As an effect when this card is activated, you can add 1 Beast Warrior type monster below level 4 from the deck to your hand. I Add Level 4 [Twelve Beasts and Snake Lash] to your hand."
Hoshimi Hitomi glanced at the card in her hand, then continued to turn her gaze back to the field, looking at ZEXAL and the lost Ling Ya with malicious eyes: "Next, there will be an unprecedented super show - don't blink, use incineration The thunder of the stars will evaporate you all!"
"Come on, in order: Ox Harvest! Dog Ring! Dragon Spear! Pig Bow!"
In the call of Hoshimi Hitomi, the twelve zodiac totems engraved in the sky, "ox", "dragon", "dog" and "pig", Mingguang triumphed. Like the Changing Faces of Sichuan Opera, the hyperscale network is constantly being built, disintegrated, and rebuilt. The tiger suddenly turned into a dog, then into a dragon, and finally into a pig. The scene was suddenly very light-polluted and dazzling.
Finally, in Hitomi Hoshimi's monster area, a monster holding a giant bow stood in attack position. The bow in his hand was pointed at the two people opposite, ready to go. Four pieces of super material surround it, like satellites guarding the celestial body.
[Twelve Beasts Pig Bow] [Effect] [Excessive]
[Race: Beast Warrior] [Rank-4] [Attribute: Earth]
[ATK:? →0][DEF:? →0】
"The attack power and defense power of the [Twelve Beasts] super monsters increase by the respective values of the [Twelve Beasts] monsters in the super material of this card. The offense and defense of the Tiger Cannon, Dog Ring, and Dragon Spear are all without exception. It is a question mark and is regarded as 0. Therefore, the attack power and defense power of [Pig Bow] are also 0.”
"The effect of [Snake Lash] in the hand is activated. It can be activated by targeting 1 Beast-Warrior type Xyz monster on your field. I target [Pig Bow]. Put this card in your hand and field Overlay under that monster as a super material. The attack power of [Pig Bow] is increased by 1200 points from the original attack power of [Snake Lash]. In addition, due to the effect of the continuous magic [Tianji] on the field, it is additionally increased. Up 100."
In the sky, the "snake" totem also shines. And Yanwu's halo also radiates dazzling light, injecting vitality into Zhu Gong's body.
[Twelve Beasts Pig Bow ATK: 0→1300]
"However, this level of attack power is no match for Hope..."
Hoshimi Hitomi crossed her arms and raised the corners of her mouth in a cruel arc: "In addition, this guy can attack directly."
"Nani!? But, because of the effect of [Pluto Barrier Wave], we won't be harmed this round!"
"Well..." Ling Ya's body trembled slightly, as if he recalled something.
"Hurry...run away..." It seemed like he was mumbling to himself, or like he was moaning. Lingya sighed, squeezing the words out from deep in his throat.
"It's a fight. Pig Bow, attack the opponent directly." Xing Jiantong waved his hand, and the arrows from the Pig Bow flew out. The arrow turned into a flash of light and penetrated ZEXAL's body, but it was able to cause any damage. Just like what ZEXAL said, the round the Pluto Barrier Wave is activated, all damage received by the opponent becomes 0.
However, more important than harm is the act of "attack"——
【Warning! 】【Warning! 】【Warning! 】
A red warning suddenly appeared in the sky of Pluto. The alarms were densely packed, covering the entire dark space. The siren sounded like the death knell among the stars.
"What, what happened!? This is..." ZEXAL's eyes widened, not knowing what was going on. what happened? In other words, what is going to happen?
"A very beautiful thing." Hoshimi Hitomi chuckled, pulled a card out of the extra deck, solemnly put it in defense position, and placed it in the monster area, overlapping the [Pig Bow].
"This card can also be super summoned by superimposing it on top of a Xyz monster on your field once during the turn in which a Xyz monster battles."
He raised his right hand high, his index finger piercing the void of the universe like a sharp sword. In the originally dark and lonely void, blue arcs of electricity leaped out of thin air, and then huge gravitational waves began to appear, causing space and even time itself to distort.
"Heaven! Ting! Horn! Boom! Lin!!!" Xing Jiantong let out a roar from his chest that would even tremble the universe. As for his high-end white duel disk, the pre-set program automatically started and began to play shocking background music.
[BGM: Wrath of God]
In the majestic music, the majestic white giant slowly revealed its body. That majestic body is full of mechanical beauty, and the silver-white body tightly wraps the immortal soul of steel. 6 pieces of super material are surrounding like guardians.
That is, the God-killing Spear built by humans, the ultimate weapon at the end of human intelligence, the Iron God King who protects humans.
The God King's strike shattered the stars. The God King's lightning evaporated evil. The immortal divine weapon stood in the void, guarding everything.
Behind Hoshimi Hitomi, the huge Thunder stood, silently looking down at the two people opposite. The huge body exuded a pressure and presence that could not be ignored, like a god.
[Thunder Archeus] [Effect] [Overload]
[Race: Mechanical] [Rank-12] [Attribute: Light]
[ATK: 3000] [DEF: 3000]
"What is that...!?" Looking at the huge silver giant god, with silver arcs swirling around him, ZEXAL's pupils suddenly shrank. That power, that presence... is not inferior to Aether Amon in the slightest!
"Thunder... Archeus..." Ling Ya sighed and recited the name of the mechanical god. Evaporating everything with unreasonable power, the Iron God King... based on their current situation, there is no way to resist.
"【Sky Thunder Arceus】, effect activated!" Hoshimi Hitomi waved her hand and issued a ruthless judgment. Arceus held two Gyz materials in his left and right hands, absorbing the energy in them. Behind the God King, the huge turbine began to rotate faster, and the deep purple lightning flashed, bringing a huge sense of oppression.
Pluto, which was half destroyed by the battle between Ether Amon and Source Warrior Hope Genwang, began to break away from its own gravity. Huge cracks appeared on its surface, magma surged, and gravity was disordered. The originally quiet Pluto was clearly a doomsday scene at this moment.
Divine power is like a prison!
"Remove two Gyz materials from yourself to activate. Send all cards on the field except this card to the graveyard! Deploy, Aegis Shield!"
Following Hoshimi Hitomi's command, the huge Sky Thunder waved its hand. The azure lightning turned into a shield, covering Hoshimi Hitomi. He is "Noah", the only human chosen by God to survive the devastating flood. Everything else is only destruction.
"Thunder Nova" Across the Aegis Shield, Hoshimi Hitomi clenched her raised right hand, "Zero!!!"
At the same time, the merciless judgment of God was also issued. The deep purple thunder was like the Milky Way rolling back, falling from the sky, turning everything on the earth into desolation.
This is the Great Flood, a thunderous flood that transcends all natural laws, submerging and resetting the world.
The warriors of hope are all destroyed. The unyielding lion-hearted fighters evaporated. Jellyfish cannot swim in the sea of thunder. Utopia is denied by God. Onomatopoeia cannot be chosen, the will of God cannot be countered, and it does not allow "choice".
When the deep purple world-destroying flood receded, the world had already revealed its original appearance. It was as pure and peaceful as the creation of the world. Only the God King of Steel stood here, like a silver shield that would never fall, guarding in front of "Noah".
"Don't you think it's much cleaner? There's no light pollution." Hoshimi Hitomi said leisurely. Opposite him, ZEXAL had disappeared in the flood, washed away to a faraway place, or simply evaporated.
Only Lingya still kept his kneeling posture and stayed in the same place. In the previous flood that cleansed the world, ZEXAL let all the monsters guard in front of Lingya, barely resisting this attack. But he himself was powerless to resist and went with the flow.
Hoshimi Hitomi stretched out his right hand, and the fragments of the source number shone on it. This is the last fragment in the astral body. When Yuan Wang was sent to the cemetery, it was captured by the gathering instinct and fell into his hands.
As long as it is absorbed again, the source code will be completely complete. But... yes, now is not the time.
He clenched his right hand, gathered the last fragments in his hand, and cast his eyes on Lingya who was kneeling on the ground again.
"It's stupid to put your hope on the 'toy'... After all, he doesn't have the next round." Xing Jiantong chuckled, with unspeakable ridicule and contempt in her tone, "But, 'toy' may have lost the will to fight."
"Don't you think it's ironic? The person who should have the strongest will can be completely paralyzed by exerting a little influence on the key part. It's really great as a toy, Lingya, you are too perfect, simply the best toy!" Xing Jiantong praised loudly, trampling on Lingya's personality in all directions without dead ends.
"What's the 'my path is decided by myself'——" Shut up...
"What's the 'I want to be a bridge connecting the two races'——" Shut up!
"What's the 'I am the 18th generation Black Manta'——" Shut up..."
"Those idiots who trusted you died in vain!" "Shut up!!!"
Lingya raised his head suddenly and roared. His eyes once again burned with raging flames.
"I, Ryoga Kamishiro, may indeed be a toy that you play with. But those idiots who believe in you and me - their will is definitely not false! It is real and shining!!!"
"Black Manta, Utopia, Nidhogg, Darkseid... All of these may indeed be lies, but what I get from them, the enlightenment I have gathered, the bond I have gained, are definitely - not false!"
Ryoga, Black Manta, slowly stood up. He once again covered his face with the helmet that symbolized Black Manta's identity.
"The culprit of everything—Hoshimi Hitomi. I'm going to knock you down!"
Goodbye, father. And...my cowardice!
…
Chapter 217 90 Victory or Loss
"My turn, draw a card!!!" The last hero, Kamidai Lingya... No, Black Manta, with the burning emotions in his heart, fiercely pulled out the card from the top of the deck. The fierce momentum turned into a howling wind, blowing away all the surrounding rubble.
Even if he is just a false hero, he can still fight to protect something. If Black Manta is just a false lie, it's up to him to make this lie come true!
Although the flames in his eyes were getting stronger, his heart was extremely calm.
The enemy's LP is 2000 points and the number of cards in hand is 0. And his monster area also has Arceus who can flip the table twice with two speeds.
With the resources at his disposal, can he... turn defeat into victory?
Looking at the only card in his hand, Black Manta fell into silence. Drawing this card at this time...is it good or bad?
"The card I drew is [RUM-Sword of the Seven Emperors]! I will show it! Main stage 1, activate its effect!" Black Manta inserted the card into the magic trap area of the duel disk. Red light shines, and on the card, Balian's coat of arms and the bonds of the Seven Emperors shine together with the light of hope that opens up the future.
"Guardian of souls from the abyss, become a dark knight and crush evil! CNo. 101 Silent Honor Dark Knight!!!"
At the call of the king, many heroic souls carried the ark and turned into knights to protect the souls. That was his memory, his bond, the proof of his existence.
The dark knight's eyes flashed with crimson light, and he raised the spear in his hand towards Hoshimi Hitomi who was opposite him. This is...a battle to protect life!
[CNo.101 Silent Honor Dark Knight] [Effect] [Super]
[Race: Water] [Rank-5] [Attribute: Water]
【ATK:2800】【DEF:1500】
"Then, Arceus, the effect is activated! Thunder Star Explosion·Return to Ruins!" Hoshimi Hitomi waved his hand and activated the Gundam's effect. It doesn't work without activating it. C101 has a powerful non-destructive removal effect that suppresses the specially summoned monster regardless of offense or defense. If allowed to activate, Arceus will become super material, and then C101's 2800 attack power will completely clear his LP.
The two super materials were crushed by Arceus, and the deep purple thunder flood swept across again. And even the knights who emerged from the abyss where light could not reach could not resist the terrifying wrath of God. They could only try their best to help Black Manta resist the aftermath, and then dissipated unwillingly.
Black Manta's hand cards and the field are completely blank, as clean as the wilderness after heavy snow. But that's fine, the Knights of the Abyss have made their due contributions! He forced Hitomi Hoshimi to activate one of Arceus's effects. Now, the number of times Arceus can flip the table is only once!
Black Manta clenched his right fist, and his tone was slightly trembling with excitement: "Because Aether Amon was destroyed by the battle, all the cards that were taken away from me were sent to the cemetery."
"The effect of the right-handed shark in the graveyard is activated! This card exists in the graveyard and can only be activated when there are no monsters on your field. This card is Special Summoned. Then the left-handed shark in the graveyard can be activated when there is a right-handed shark on the field. Special Summon, Level becomes 4."
As Black Manta operated, two sharks, one on the left and one on the right, appeared in his monster area, achieving a feat of 0 for 2. If he were just allowed to over-summon, who knows if he would pull out something inexplicable again. Therefore, Xing Jiantong looked solemn and issued the divine order again: "Arzeus, the effect is activated!"
Thunderous floods clear the world once again. The two sharks' special summons to themselves are limited to one card with the same name once per round. And because of their own effects, they have entered the exclusion zone and can no longer be specially summoned.
As for Black Manta, the resources he can use are only the last one——
"The effect of [Shaking Sea Fish Dead Leaf Sea Dragon] in the graveyard is activated! Remove this card from the graveyard and target 3 fish-type monsters in your graveyard to activate it. Those monsters are added to the deck and shuffled. After that, you will remove the card from the card Draw 1 card from the group. I target these 3 monsters, the 2 [Silent Anglers] and the other [Dead Leaf Sea Dragon] in the graveyard, and return them to the deck!"
But this time, Hoshimi Hitomi didn't make any obstruction, and just watched Black Manta's operation with an indifferent expression: retrieving the monster and drawing 1 card.
Black Manta took a deep breath and instead of spitting it out, he just put his right hand on the top of the duel plate. Now, it's really the last. All his methods end here. It can be said that the fate of mankind and the universe is entrusted to his last "one move".
Normally, he should think about some past events to pave the way for his divine attack. This kind of plot is called "memory killing", and Kamidai Lingya knows it very well. However, even if he wanted to think about it, the face of his enemy, Hitomi Hoshimi, flashed in his memories from time to time. It's terrifying in every sense of the word.
