Chapter 1900 The Ten Generations of Overlords! ?
"Did the effect trigger during the attack of [Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skull Demon Slayer Dragon]?" Jim said, complaining somewhat irritably. "Who started this bad habit of not explaining when activating cards?"

“Even so, don’t think my [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] will be afraid of you, 'Overlord'!” Jim said. “I will continue to attack with [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate], and the effect of [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] will take effect when the damage calculation for the battle begins!”

Upon hearing this, "Overlord" also spoke up: "Activate the effect of that card at this time? However, the Earth Giant - Gaia Plate, which is Special Summoned by the effect of [Shell Knight], should not be able to activate its effect."

"It's not activated, it just takes effect. The effect of [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] doesn't need to be activated, which is one of the reasons I Special Summoned it!" Jim pointed at [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King]. "During that damage calculation, the ATK and DEF of the monster battling it are halved. That means that although the ATK of [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] is reduced to 1000 points, the ATK of [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King] will also be reduced from 1400 points to 700 points!"

"Great-Tempest!"

【E-hero Evil Blade King】【ATK1400→700】

"boom!"

The massive rock fist swung down, and the Earth Giant - Gaia Plate, attracted by the effects of [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King], unleashed a heavy punch. The immense power shattered the claws that [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King] had crossed in front of it for defense with a single blow, and the "Overlord" behind it was also impacted once again.

However, even after being attacked repeatedly, "Overlord" remained very calm, as if he didn't care about the slight drop in his base score at all.

[“Overlord”: 1400→1100LP, Hand: 1]

“Next up is your Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck.” Looking at the last monster on Jim’s field that hadn’t yet attacked, “E-hero Evil Blade Demon King is still not destroyed by battle, so its effect is still in effect. Your monster must attack it.”

【E-hero Evil Blade King】【ATK700→1400】

With the battle over the [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] over, the attack power of [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King] naturally returned to 1400 points. Jim frowned and said, "Should we use the [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck], whose attack power has been reduced to 300 points, to attack the [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King], whose attack power is 1400 points?"

"But I'm sorry, I have no intention of sending my monster over for you to destroy!" Jim said, waving his hand. "Quick-Play Spell Card [Extremely Weak Voice] activated!"

"You can activate this card by targeting one face-up monster on my field. This turn, that face-up monster's original ATK becomes 100, but it also gains resistance to being destroyed by battle or card effects. I use this effect on [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck], and then attack [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King] with [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck]!"

Because the attack power of the [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck] had already been reduced to 300 points, even if its original attack power is modified by the effect of [Extremely Weak Voice], the final attack power of the [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck] will only be zero. However, it has gained resistance that cannot be destroyed, so it will not be crushed after crashing into the [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King].

The fossil "Great Transport" truck crashed into the Blade Demon. After being suppressed twice in a row, the [E-hero Evil Blade Demon King] finally showed some strength this time. It actually withstood the impact of the heavy truck and kicked it back to the Jim field, causing its basic score to drop by a full 1400 points.

Jim Crocodile Cook: 4000 → 2600 LP, Hand: 3 → 2

But at least he preserved the Paleozoic fossil vehicle - the Skull Truck - from being destroyed in the battle, and it continues to provide Jim with the ability to suppress the Tyrannosaurus Rex's attacks.

"My battle phase is now over." Jim decisively ended his battle phase. Although he failed to end the duel in this round of attacks, he reduced the Overlord's base score by 900 points, which can be considered a certain result. Now it's time to consider defense.

"During my Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card 'Angel's Charity' to draw three cards from my deck and discard two cards from my hand."

Jim changed the cards in his hand, then set another card face down, saying, "Next, I'll place a card in my back row and activate the spell card 'Heavenly Treasure Card'."

Jim played the strongest card draw card, drawing six cards from his deck at once, saying, "This card allows both players to replenish their hands simultaneously. Since I have no cards in hand, I can draw six cards from my deck."

“But it’s the same for me.” In sync with Jim, “Overlord” also drew six cards at once.

"I'll let you enjoy the convenience of drawing cards for now, 'Overlord'. But be prepared to take the damage afterwards." Jim said, playing a card from his hand. "Spell Card [Premature Burial], pay 800 Life Points to activate this card, Special Summon [Firestone Wall Dragon] which was previously sent to the Graveyard by [Angel's Charity] and equip this card."

【吉姆·克洛克达尔·库克：2600→1800LP，手牌：2→1→6→5】

[Firestone Wall Dragon] [3 stars/land]

[Rock Faction/Effect]

【800/1600→0/1600】

"If [Firestone Wall Dragon] is Special Summoned, activate its effect: discard one card from my hand and send one [Fossil] Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard. I chose [Mesozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton Knight]."

Jim was also glad that he hadn't tried to maximize his field and expand his territory during the first main phase. Otherwise, if he had summoned the Firestone Wall Dragon prematurely like he has now, wouldn't he have had to use the Firestone Wall Dragon to attack the E-hero Evil Blade Demon King and take an extra 1400 points of combat damage?

—Although I wouldn't actually let [Firestone Wall Dragon] stay on the field to continue attacking.

“Next, I’ll banish the [Mesozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton Knight] that I just sent to the graveyard, and activate its effect on a monster my opponent controls. Destroy that monster.” Jim pointed, “What I’m going to destroy is my opponent’s [E-hero Dark Knight].

From Jim's graveyard, the Skeleton Knight, now a spirit, burst forth and clashed with the Demon on the field, who was also a "Knight." The result of the battle was that the Skeleton Knight was annihilated and banished from the duel, while the [E-hero Dark Knight] was destroyed by this effect.

However, at the same time that [E-hero Dark Knight] was destroyed, "Overlord" said: "If the face-up [E-hero Dark Knight] that was Special Summoned leaves the field due to the opponent's effect, at that moment I use its effect to target a Fiend-Warrior monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it to my field in Defense Position."

"Special Summon [E-hero Skywalker] from my Graveyard, and I will activate its effect to search for one card from my Deck. I choose [E-hero Poison Bubble].

【“霸王”：1100LP，手牌：1→0→6→7】

【E·hero Sky Knight】【DEF300】 "Then I activate the second effect of 【Firestone Rock Wall Dragon】, sending this card on my field to the Graveyard to activate it. Inflict 500 effect damage to my opponent, and if there is 【Fossil Fusion】 in my Graveyard, I can choose another of my banished 【Fossil Fusion】 or a card with that card name written on it to return to the Graveyard. I choose 【Mesozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton Knight】, which I just banished."

Jim's [Firestone Wall Dragon] opened its mouth, then its upper and lower jaws clashed violently, instantly sending sparks flying and a beam of fire rushing towards "Overlord". While deducting its Life Points, the previously banished [Mesozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton Knight] also returned to Jim's graveyard under the guidance of its effect.

[“Overlord”: 1100→600LP, Hand: 7]

Because of the 500 points of damage, "E-hero Neo-E-hero's" Life Points dropped below three digits, and the crack on its mask widened slightly. But just before Jim could continue, "E-hero Neo-E-hero" suddenly said: "If there is a monster in the monster zone of [E-hero Neo-E-hero] and a monster is sent to the opponent's graveyard, the conditions for its effect to activate are met!"

"What?!" Jim didn't expect that [E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord] would suddenly take action at this moment, raising a hand and pointing to its own field, "Activate the effect now, that monster named 'Overlord'?"

"【E-hero Neo-Overlord】is the 【E-hero】that controls 【Hero】, and its power of control can even control the opponent's monsters." As it spoke, "Overlord" waved its hand, "I can activate the effect of 【E-hero Neo-Overlord】by targeting one face-up monster on the opponent's field, and gain control of it."

Jim's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected the monster's effect to be NTR-related.

"You tyrant, not only have you dominated the decks of the Ten Generations, but now you want to dominate my monsters too?!"
"However, my two Fossil Fusion Monsters summoned by the effect of Fossil Fusion will not become the target of the opponent's monster effects!" Jim reminded.

"Overlord" pointed at another monster on Jim's field: "Therefore, I will seize control of the [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate]."

Under the power of [E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord], a dark shadow rose from the ground and instantly invaded the body of [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] on Jim's field, covering the will within this stone giant and manipulating it to run onto "Overlord's" field.

Actually, activating [E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord] at this point wasn't what "Overlord" wanted. If possible, he would have liked to use this effect to overpower Jim's [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] before the battle even started, but he simply didn't have that opportunity.

However, in the first main phase, how many times did Jim send monsters to the graveyard? Indeed, there were several times, but on those occasions, Jim either had no monsters on his field or only monsters summoned by Fossil Fusion that could not be targeted by monster effects.

[Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] was Special Summoned after [Shell Knight] was sent to the Graveyard. [E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord] didn't have a chance to follow up with the chain to the Cow. When Jim sent [Firestone Wall Dragon] to the Graveyard at the beginning of Main Phase 2, "Overlord" could activate its effect, but it wanted to wait and see what else Jim could do.

It seems that any other monsters that appear are likely summoned by [Fossil Fusion] and cannot be taken away by [E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord]. It would be better to take [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] now.

But Jim frowned as he watched the Earth Giant - Gaia Plate being taken away, then smiled and said, "You've taken it. So be it, 'Overlord,' if you can afford it."

"However, since your [E-hero Dark Knight] has left, the ATK of all the monsters on my field will be restored to their original values—while the monsters on your field will continue to be suppressed by [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck]!"

Jim Crocodile Cook: 1800 LP, Hand: 5 → 4

[Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skull Slayer Dragon] [ATK 1700 → 3500]

[Paleozoic fossil vehicle - skull truck] [ATK0→100]

Because the [Extremely Weak Sound] effect is still active, the [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck] still only has 100 attack power even after escaping suppression, but the [Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skull Demon Slayer Dragon] has recovered its original value.

On the other hand, the monsters on the "Overlord" field were still being suppressed by the [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck], and even the attack power of the [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate], which had just been taken over, was reduced.

[Earth's Giant - Gaia Plate] [ATK1000→2800→1800]

Having just escaped the suppression of [E-hero Dark Knight] and then having its attack power reduced by [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skull Truck], [Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] is quite unlucky. However, its ability to halve the attack and defense of an opponent's monster without needing to activate it during battle is equivalent to doubling its attack power. Even with its attack power reduced to 1800, it is still equivalent to 3600 attack power, surpassing [Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skull Demon Slayer Dragon] by a significant margin.

Jim didn't seem too worried that "Overlord" would use it to destroy his Paleozoic fossil dragon - Skull Slayer Dragon.

To say why-

"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn. I'll Normal Summon [Shell Knight] and use its first effect." Although he'd used [Shell Knight]'s second effect before, that doesn't stop Jim from summoning it again now. "Change this card to Defense Position and inflict 500 damage to your opponent!"

"In this way, 'Overlord,' your basic score is reduced to only 100 points, like a candle flickering in the wind!"

【Shell Knight】【ATK0→DEF2000】

Jim watched as his [Shell Knight] fired several shell rockets at "Overlord," deducting another 500 points from its life points, and felt the victory was assured. Why? Aside from the fact that he still had three cards left in his hand, the card he had just set on his back row, seemingly intended to draw more cards from [Heavenly Treasure], was actually a trap card, [Stone Attack]. It could add a Rock-type card to his deck and deal 500 effect damage to the opponent, just enough to finish off "Overlord"!
Hit by another attack, "Overlord" remained unshaken, but the mask on his face finally gave way under the repeated attacks, breaking in two and falling to the ground. Jim, who had just been smiling, suddenly froze when he saw "Overlord's" true face.

Gone was his usual cheerful, sunny, and somewhat goofy smile; the color of his eyes had also changed considerably. But there was no way he could mistake him. The person under the "Overlord's" armor was actually—but how could that be!?
"Even I hoped I hadn't guessed right. But seeing the truth is still hard to believe." O'Brien, watching from the sidelines, swallowed hard. "That 'Overlord'...it's actually Judai!?"
