Chapter 1725 Paradise Made (Mist)
"I've successfully collected four [Jade Beasts] in my Magic Trap Zone!"

John's previous actions were all for one purpose: to gather four [Jade Beasts] in his magic trap area. With Keith Hunter's "help," the last gem—[Jade Beast - Ruby Beast]—appeared!

"This is the second effect of [Crystal Beast Liberation]. It can only be activated when this card is sent from the field to the graveyard. Select one [Crystal Beast] from my deck and place it face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card. The one I selected is [Crystal Beast - Ruby Beast], which was just returned to the deck by [Molten Hammer].

"Topaz, Amethyst, Amber, and Ruby!" John called out the nicknames of his backcourt "Jade Beasts," and waved his hand. "Now, on my court, the final piece of the puzzle for victory is complete!"

John Anderson: 4000LP, 4 in hand

Backstage: [Jade Beast - Yellow Jade Tiger], [Jade Beast - Amethyst Cat], [Jade Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle], [Jade Beast - Ruby Beast]

Keith Hunter glanced at John's monsters, especially the last one, [Sapphire Beast - Ruby Beast], and said disdainfully, "Are you mistaken? You're not thinking of using [Sapphire Beast - Ruby Beast]'s effect to Special Summon a large number of [Sapphire Beasts] to the front field at once, are you?"

"As long as [Demon Descent], which appears because of the effect of [Ritual Demon - Liberator], exists in my field, you cannot perform any Special Summon. What's the point of just piling up useless [Crystal Beasts] on your back row? In fact, when [Crystal Beasts] fill your Spell & Trap Zone, they can even prevent you from activating any more Spell & Trap Cards!"

Upon hearing Keith Hunter's words, John played a card: "Sorewadoka na?"

"Spell Card [Planet Terraforming] activated! Search my Deck for one Field Spell Card and add it to my hand. I choose Field Spell Card [Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins], and then I activate it!"

John activated the Field Spell Card, which possesses immense power in the [Crystal Beast] deck. The ancient Colosseum replaced the original enclosed environment. Although it was merely an illusion projected by a virtual projection system, its ancient atmosphere felt quite real.

"【Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins】has the ability to gain different effects depending on the number of 【Crystal Beast】 cards in my Spell & Trap Zone. If I have four or more, I can draw one card from my deck once per turn."

"Draw!"

As John drew a card from his deck, he suddenly said, "I've got the proof you wanted: Keith Hunter—proof of the bond between duelists and dueling spirits!"

"Actually, although I have four [Crystal Beast] cards in the back row, that only allows me to draw cards using the effect of [Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins]. That's all. It can't do anything more. The card that can really deliver the fatal blow to you and win the game doesn't exist in my hand. It's still dormant in my deck."

"However, I believe in my deck, just as the [Crystal Beasts] believe in me. I also believe that the deck, which is like family to them, will answer my call at the crucial moment. And the proof is that even after shuffling the deck multiple times, I still managed to draw this game-changing card under the effect of [Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins]!"

"I'm about to activate this trump card—the Normal Spell Card [Gemstone Overload]!"

Although the [Crystal Beast] deck has its flaws, it still possesses the potential for a powerful one-shot kill (OTK) strategy. The core of this strategy lies in the card John just played – [Crystal Overload].

On John's field, four precious gems shone brightly, and the light refracted from them gradually converged on a point in the center of the field, from which a pure white light was released, capturing everyone's attention.

In the white light, John's voice reached Keith Hunter's ears: "【Crystal Beast Overload】 requires sending four face-up 【Crystal Beast】 cards from my Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard to activate. Its effect is a simple and pure power to reset everything—that is, to send all cards on both players' fields to the Graveyard!"

"This is the beginning, this is the end, this is the restart of all things guided by the overflowing treasures! Time is accelerated to its limit by the power of the gathered treasures, reaching the end of all things, but after the end, there will be new existence!"

"Made in Heaven!"

Under the all-encompassing light, whether it was the [Jade Beast - Amber Mammoth], [Jade Beast - Emerald Turtle], or [Thousand-Handed God] that Keith Hunter had taken, or even the [Demon Descent] with its "invincible resistance," all of them were petrified into various colored jade stones and then shattered, just like encountering the legendary "Medusa".

The four precious stones on the field that supported John's use of this powerful force also became transparent as if their power had been drained, and then shattered into jade fragments and disappeared.

"Impossible!" Keith Hunter was incredulous, having his hard-won prey and the monster crucial to his suppression tactics destroyed by this attack. "My monsters, my prey, were all wiped out just like that?!"

“But how are you going to win then!” Keith Hunter glared at John. “Even if my field is cleared of monsters, yours will be too. Not only are your four Crystal Beasts gone, but your Field Spell Card that you just activated also disappeared in an instant. You’ve already used your Normal Summon; do you really think you can clear my Life Points with the three cards you have left?”

However, looking at Keith Hunter, John shook his head: "No, there's no need to use the cards I have anymore. As for why, I've said it before, haven't I? This is the restart of everything guided by the overflowing jewels."

"And now, my [Jewel Beasts] have arrived in the new world!"

As John finished speaking, the white light that had previously obliterated everything on both sides landed on his field. Matter on the ground was replaying the changes of billions of years at an absurd speed. Finally, on his field, several pure jade stones representing the [Jade Beast] floated!

"For every card on your opponent's field that is sent to the Graveyard due to the effect of [Crystal Beast], Special Summon as many [Crystal Beasts] as possible from my Graveyard!"

"Under the effect of 'Jade Overflow,' the cards sent from your field to the graveyard are: 'Jade Turtle,' 'Jade Mammoth,' 'Thousand Hands God,' and 'Demon Descent'!" John waved his hand. "And although 'Jade Mammoth' and 'Jade Turtle' were cards you stole from me, they were indeed on your field when 'Jade Overflow' was activated!"

"Therefore, I Special Summon [Sapphire Beast - Amber Mammoth], [Sapphire Beast - Topaz Tiger], [Sapphire Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle], and [Sapphire Beast - Amethyst Cat] from my Graveyard to my field!"

【约翰·安德森：4000LP，手牌4→4→3→4→3】

【Jade Beast - Yellow Jade Tiger】【ATK1600】

【Jade Beast - Amber Mammoth】【ATK1700】

【Jade Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle】【ATK1400】

【Jewel Beast - Amethyst Cat】【ATK 1200】 With the help of 【Jewel Overload】, John not only cleared Keith Hunter's entire field, but also Special Summoned a total of four 【Jewel Beasts】 with an ATK of over 1000 on his own field.

Even in an environment with 8000 base points, the [Jewel Beast] that focuses on [Jewel Overload] still has considerable deterrent power in the same environment. With a maximum of five monsters on the field, as long as the average attack power reaches 1600 points, it can even achieve a magnificent five-hit OTK by relying on the fact that every attack after [Jewel Overload] is a direct attack!

Not to mention, in the current duel environment, both sides only have 4000 points in terms of basic points, while John's four monsters on the field are all monsters with an attack power of over 1000 points!

Keith Hunter also sensed something was wrong, but he just said with a gloomy face, "You stole my prey and now you dare to order these fleeing bastards to bare their teeth at me? Don't get cocky, kid!"

"The ritual-summoned [Demon Descent] activates its third effect if it is sent to the graveyard by the opponent in any way—"

The main troublesome effect of [Demon Descent] in this duel comes from the power of the two [Ritual Demons] that are sacrificed during the Ritual Summon. Its original second effect is only that it cannot be destroyed by battles with monsters other than Ritual Monsters and cannot be destroyed by the effects of monsters other than Ritual Monsters. The reason why it does not have a very strong effect is that it actually has a third effect.

On Keith Hunter's field, [Demon Descent], which had just been sent to the graveyard, has returned to the field, but the azure lightning that once danced on its body has completely degenerated into yellow.

No, what appeared was not [Demon Descent], but [Demon Summoning]!
[Demon Summoning] [ATK2500]

"—Special Summoning a single [Summon Fiend] from my hand, deck, and graveyard to my field," Keith Hunter said smugly, spreading his arms wide. "How about that? That's the 'immortality' of [Fiend Descent]! Your [Crystal Beast] certainly didn't expect this!"

"What a pity, John Anderson. You and the Jewel Beasts were just a hair's breadth away from killing me, but that's how hunting is. The roles of hunter and prey are never fixed; they're always switching. But at least in this duel, I'm still the one who ends up as the prey!"

Looking at the [Summoned Demon] [Jewel Beasts] on John's field, none of which had the attack power to defeat his [Summoned Demon], Keith Hunter sneered, "Just wait, I'll take down all the monsters on your field, one by one, and then steal them!"

John shook his head: "Although you can see elves, you are completely unworthy of that ability, Keith Hunter!"

"Thanks to our duel, I've finally figured it out. My dream remains unchanged: to fight for others and elves. If they are separated, I will help them reunite; if there are barriers between them, I will help them communicate. I will break down the walls of separation between them, and if there are chasms between humans and elves that prevent them from understanding each other, then—I will become their 'bridge of hearts'!"

"Arrogant brat, what do you know!" Keith Hunter glared at John. "Whether I'm qualified or not is none of your business!"

"No, regardless of whether I can judge, there is no doubt that you are unworthy of the ability to communicate with spirits! The best proof is that although you have captured many spirits, you do not have any spirits of your own, and you cannot even detect the spirit of [Demon Descent] that has been placed inside you!"

John played the card in his hand, "You are not worthy of the ability of a 'Spirit Master,' your so-called 'Spirit Master' is nothing but a fake. I will use this card to shatter you!"

"The Continuous Spell Card [Bridge of the Heart] activates, allowing me to Summon a single [Crystal Beast] monster only once during the Main Phase, in addition to my Normal Summon. However, I will now use its second effect, which is to destroy one [Crystal Beast] card from my hand or field, and then add one [Crystal] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand."

"I choose to destroy [Crystal Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle], and then add [Crystal God Awakening] from my deck to my hand! Cobalt!"

"Tsk, why don't I get a chance to show off again? But take it, my power!" [Jewel Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle] complained a few times, but still offered itself up and transformed into a blue jewel form, remaining in John's back row. Its body then turned into a beam of light and entered John's hand, forming a card.

At that very moment, a rainbow-colored illusory bridge unfolded on the card [Bridge of the Heart], spanning the fields of John and Keith Hunter, linking the newly appeared [Summoning of Demons] and [Bridge of the Heart].

"The destroyed [Crystal Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle] will be placed face-up on my back field as a Continuous Spell Card. At the same time, the last effect of [Bridge of Hearts] will trigger. If a [Crystal Beast] card is placed in my Spell & Trap Zone, this effect can be activated by targeting one card on your opponent's field—[Summon Fiend]—and can also be activated during the Damage Step!"

Return the target card and [Bridge of Hearts] to their respective owners' hands!

"Rainbow Bridge unfolds!"

The rainbow-colored bridge suddenly rose up, lifting [Summoning Demon] and throwing it back into Keith Hunter's hand. John also retrieved the card [Bridge of the Heart] into his hand. However, John could activate [Bridge of the Heart] again at any time, but Keith Hunter didn't have a second [Summoning Demon] on his field!

"Finally, I activate the Spell Card [Soul Card], adding a monster from my deck whose combined ATK and DEF equals my Life Points to my hand." John didn't wait for the Duel Disk to search automatically; he directly drew the top card, the very card he was searching for, and also the crucial card Keith Hunter wanted to obtain. "My current Life Points are 4000, therefore I add this [Ultimate Gem God - Rainbow Dragon] with 4000 ATK and 0 DEF, whose combined ATK equals my Life Points, to my hand!"

"Activate [Bridge of Hearts] again, and then proceed with my battle phase!"

【约翰·安德森：4000LP，手牌3→2→3→4→4→3】

【Jade Beast - Yellow Jade Tiger】【ATK1600】

【Jade Beast - Amber Mammoth】【ATK1700】

【Jade Beast - Amethyst Cat】【ATK1200】

Backstage: [Bridge of the Heart] [Jewel Beast - Cobalt Spinel Eagle]

　The final card from Hundred-Armed Invisible has been revealed, and it fits quite well with the previous cards. Tauren fans are already impatient.
　　However, DB Box's card release this time was rather slow. Previously, it was always A, B, A's last card, C, B's last card, C's last card.

　　Or A, B, C, and then each of them plays their last card.

　　The entire "Hundred Arms Without Form" series has been released, but there's still no news about "The Clever Slayer" and "The Melody of the Killer."
　　Now I know what it feels like when the boss is hitting Bobo—what ability does this Silver Chariot have to hold so tightly? This guy really knows how to hide!
