Chapter 1428 An Unsolvable Monster?

The Silent Magician abruptly swung his staff, and the sphere of light, brimming with magical power, streaked through the air like a comet. The instant the sphere touched the crimson steel behemoth, time seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, pure white light exploded radially, forming a spherical burst of magical energy. Ripples of iridescent energy continuously erupted from the explosion's center, each tremor distorting space like cracked glass. Countless magical runes could be faintly seen burning within the flames, like thousands of white doves simultaneously taking flight and instantly vaporizing, even the shadows becoming transparent as crystal.

Fica: "Activate the face-down card 'Battle Simulation'! Halve the ATK of all monsters in a battle, and prevent either monster from being destroyed in battle!" (Anime Card)
[Silent Magician Zero, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 1250]

“But Heart of the Mind is unaffected by any card effects,” Fica said. “Therefore, only your Magician skill is halved!”

[NO.53 Pseudo-God - Heart of the Earth, Attack Power 1100]

[Fica, LP3000 → LP2850]

Although the damage was minimized, Fica's expression was still cold: "You actually found a way to win over Heart's Heart so quickly?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," You Xuan smiled, "but it seems like my silence is the most impressive thing."

A hint of pride crept onto her usually silent and aloof face. Her physique had also undergone a significant transformation with her increased level; the girl's silhouette resembled a rapidly growing flower bud, her figure unfolding like a magnolia branch. Her long silver hair grew amidst the surging magic, the shimmering light within each strand like the Milky Way woven into its ends. Beneath her robes, her once youthful curves began to reveal a mature allure. The fabric at her chest was stretched into an astonishing arc, her waist cinched, and her hips forming a full, crescent-shaped silhouette. As her silver-blue hair cascaded down to her waist, the lengthened hem of her robes moved without wind, subtly revealing glimpses of her long, slender legs in the snowy light of the side slits.

In the instant the battle began, the magician transformed from a loli into a young woman. She slowly opened her eyes, her once round face now possessing a cold and aloof quality. The curves of her collarbone and waist were faintly visible beneath her flowing robes. As she gripped her staff, the magical ripples emanating from its tip condensed in the air into translucent ice crystal roses.

"Don't get too cocky, you despicable otherworldly king," Fika said. "If you think you've won over Kokoro, you're underestimating me."

Actually, Heart of the Heart has another effect. Once per turn, when you take battle damage, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the battle damage you took. (Animation effect)

However, the combat damage received here was too low to warrant such an Xyz Material, so Fica didn't activate it.
The animation is incredibly powerful, with one effect after another. When the animation was broadcast, viewers questioned, "Can a single card's text field really hold so many effects?"

If we list all the effects that Heart of the Heart used in actual combat in the animation, categorized by effect one, effect two, effect three, etc., we can list up to effect seven.

A single monster possesses seven effects, including powerful abilities such as "unaffected by card effects" and "absorbs the opponent's monster's attack power," demonstrating the formidable strength of the boss monsters in ZEXAL Dimension.

“NO. cannot be destroyed by battles with monsters other than NO., so my Heart of the Earth won’t be destroyed either,” Fica said smugly. “Although it seems like you’ve found Heart of the Earth’s weakness, even so, it’s not so easy to defeat!”

“Indeed.” You Xuan nodded in agreement.

Animated effects are indeed difficult to deal with, and the added resistance of "cannot be destroyed by anything other than NO." makes it even more troublesome. Again, if something only has resistance to battle destruction, it's almost negligible, but if it can't be destroyed in battle and is also unaffected by card effects, then it's a guaranteed kill.

Getting rid of this thing is really not easy.

Well, it's not like there's no way to solve it.

Back in the days when real-card competitive games were dominated by five-material Gun Kings, wise card players were able to develop strategies, proving that the game's saying "there are no invincible monsters" was not just empty talk.

Even the strongest and most invincible thing has a weakness, and every monster has a solution. The invincible Gun King is no exception, and so is a mere Heartheart.

He actually has a way to defeat this seemingly unsolvable monster.

"The round is over."

Fika: "My turn, draw a card!" After drawing a card, Fika then plays the monster in his hand.

"Summon the 'Iron Goldfish'!"

It was also a very common 4-star low-level monster during the peak of the fourth-order Xyz era. It looks like a cute goldfish, but its whole body is round and looks like it is made entirely of iron, from its shell to its scales.

[Iron-skinned Goldfish, Attack Power 800]

"The effect of Ironfish is that when this card is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon a Level 4 monster from your hand," Fica said. "Special Summon 'Flying Saucer Turtle'!"

[Flying Saucer Turtle, Attack Power 1400]

"A Level 4 Ironfish and a Level 4 UFO Turtle stacked together!" Fica said. "Two monsters form a stacking network, Xyz Summon—"

—Hard-handed dragon!

The earth trembled and cracked, and countless prism-like crystals burst forth from the ground, each facet refracting the extreme sharpness of the rainbow spectrum. These diamond-structured materials began to precisely interlock as they ascended, hexagonal nuclei forming the spine, and icosahedral crystals piecing together claws. When the last crystal embedded itself in its eye socket, this dragon-shaped weapon, forged from diamond-like crystals, suddenly opened its eyes and let out a deafening dragon roar.

[Hard-skinned Dragon, Attack Power 2100]

It was one of the earliest Xyz Monsters to appear when Xyz was first released, almost a veteran Xyz Monster from the same era as Hope. Of course, its fame is far less than the latter's.

"And the core of your deck seems to be that cabinet, right?"

Fica squinted and glanced at the sacred golden cabinet floating behind You Xuan.

That couldn't be clearer. Each turn, the cabinet can search for one card from the deck—any cabinet-related spell, trap, or monster—the range is outrageously wide. And it seems most of the spells, traps, and monsters in this deck also require the cabinet to be on the field to function.

“Then let me start with this cabinet!” Fica said. “Activating the spell card ‘Spell Removal’ will destroy one spell card on the field.”

He pointed directly at the perpetual magic in the back of Youxuan's field.

"Destroy the 'Golden Vault of Light', a perpetual magic!"

Golden light shot out from Fica's magic card, the golden beam transforming into a piercing javelin that shot towards the floating golden chest!

The Golden Chest of Light cannot be destroyed by monster effects, but it has no resistance to magic or traps. If this attack passes through the Golden Chest, it will indeed be destroyed.

Not only Fica, but the onlookers also realized that the golden cabinet seemed to be the core of this "first king deck", and they all couldn't help but feel their hearts in their throats.

"Oh no! If the Golden Chest is destroyed, the King's deck will be ruined!"

"Then, the effect of Silent Magician Zero is activated," Yu Xuan said. "If the Golden Chest of Light is on the field, once per turn, negate the activation of your opponent's Spell Card effects, and increase this card's Level by 1!"
