Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

"Chain the effect of your [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast]!"

You Yang's voice was cold and steady, like a rock, unmoved in the roaring darkness!

"I activate the effect of the Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand—[Forbidden Drop]!"

You can activate this effect by sending any number of other cards from your hand or field to the Graveyard.

"Choose that number of effect monsters on your opponent's field."

"Those monsters' attack power is halved and their effects are nullified until the end of the turn!"

"Furthermore, your opponent cannot activate the effect of a card of the same type (Monster, Spell, Trap) as the card sent to the Graveyard for the activation of this card!"

"what?!"

"It's actually the [Forbidden Drop]?!"

Ken Ford looked shocked; he hadn't expected that You Yang would draw such a crucial card at this juncture.

It's important to know that the effect of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] is different from the monster effects activated during the opponent's Main Phase turn.

【True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast】 can be activated during the opponent's turn, which makes it unique except for the damage step.

[True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] possesses the ability to activate at any other stage.

Furthermore, the effect activated by 【True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast】 is actually the removal of materials; the subsequent suppression effect is to trigger an immediate effect.

Therefore, even if it is destroyed, it will not affect the activation of this effect.

But what we fear most are cards with the "invalidity" attribute.

Moreover, it can be linked to an invalid system!

However, since he dared to make such a boast, he must have had a backup plan. Ken Ford looked at Gayka in his backcourt.

He wanted to see what You Yang would choose!

You Yang glanced coldly at the two cards in Ken Ford's back row that were itching to be played, then drew another card from his hand and said without hesitation:

"I'm sending my Trap Card, [Eternal Galaxy], to the Graveyard!"

"In exchange for this, I will nullify the effect of your [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast]!"

The opponent's deck is based on the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] deck.

They must be well aware of the weaknesses of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast], so it's highly likely that their deck will include cards that can counter negation cards.

However, that's precisely where the power of the Forbidden Drop lies!

Its unique ability to not be chained is its most valuable asset!

You Yang spent a lot of his savings on this card!

He bet that the card facing him was a trap card!

"call--"

Hearing You Yang's clear and precise response, Chen Yuexi, Lilith, and Chen Yuan, who were outside the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Thankfully! 【Forbidden Drop】 is a Quick-Play Spell Card, and its spell speed is second.

Although the opponent activated the effect of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] during the preparation phase, a time when it was almost impossible to deal with, [Forbidden Drop] was still able to follow up with the chain.

Once the effect of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] is nullified, You Yang will no longer be suppressed.

Without the effect suppression of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast], two face-down cards are simply no match for Yu Yang's Galaxy Eyes' finishing blow!

Moreover, what You Yang sent to the grave was a "trap card"!

In that case, if the two face-down cards on the opposite side are trap cards, then it's impossible to chain Yu Yang's [Forbidden Drop] to activate!

That was a brilliant move!

However, when Yu Yang said, "I will send the trap card [Eternal Galaxy] in my hand to the graveyard," Ken Ford was stunned.

Immediately, all the panic on his tense face vanished, replaced by a joyful smile.

"What a pity!"

"You... guessed wrong!"

"Open the cover card!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and the face-down card in the back room flipped over.

"Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Mysterious Chinese Pot]!"

"Release one of your monsters."

"Choose to release the monster's attack or defense, and your life points will recover that value."

"I will release the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] on the field as a sacrifice!"

"And restore its attack power value!"

The card that Youyang had just used in the previous duel, a card he was extremely familiar with, appeared again.

However, this time, it ended up in the hands of the opponent.

A huge, ancient, black iron pot crashed down from the sky.

The cauldron opened wide, as if ready to devour its prey. Before the effect of the Forbidden Drop could be applied, it instantly swallowed the terrifying True Dragon Emperor - Dharma King Beast into the cauldron.

Black mist churned inside the pot, constantly seeping out from other parts of the pot, as if countless vengeful spirits were wailing.

Immediately afterwards, beams of pure golden light burst forth from it, transforming into a warm torrent that poured into Ken Ford's body.

The health indicator on Ken Ford's Duel Disk beeps frequently.

The numbers skyrocketed, instantly surpassing ten thousand.

Ken Ford: LP 8000 → 11300

"Health points... 11,300?!"

Outside the barrier, Chen Yuan's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

At You Yang's suggestion, he has recently been researching the "Red-Eyes" burn damage deck.

If he were halfway through his hard work and then suddenly received so many replies from the other end, he would probably collapse on the spot.

However, the real problem now is not how much health Ken Ford has recovered.

Instead, the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] on the field was liberated.

It is no longer...on the field.

Therefore, You Yang's key countermeasure, "The Forbidden Drop," failed to achieve its intended effect because it lacked a target.

On the field, the fallen angel holding the Holy Grail dripped the liquid from the chalice, but lost sight of his original target.

The holy water, which could neutralize everything, ultimately just fell to the ground.

However, the effect activated by the Dharma King Beast during the preparation phase did not fail.

Because the forbidden drop failed to be processed, the powerful effect of the Dharma King Beast was successfully activated at this moment!

At this moment, although the enormous body of the Dharma King Beast had disappeared within the entire dark barrier, the malicious black mist emanating from the giant cauldron spread rapidly like ink.

The [Dragon God Array - Sketch] that was originally shining with golden runes beneath their feet was now stained with an ominous black.

Ken Ford wore a smug, almost surviving smile.

He pointed his finger at Youyang and loudly proclaimed:

"Based on the effect of [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast], I declare—Dark Attribute!"

"This turn, all face-up monsters on the field will become DARK monsters!"

"At the same time, all DARK monsters on your field will be unable to attack or activate their effects!"

Ken Ford stared at You Yang with a cold smile, his mockery undisguised:

"What a pity... Your idea to target 'Dharmamon' seems to have... completely failed."

"Before the effect of 'Dharma King Beast' is nullified, using methods other than destruction to circumvent the nullification tactic is indeed a good countermeasure."

You Yang's expression remained calm, as if the series of thrilling exchanges that had just taken no part of his life.

He simply sent the two cards in his hand, which he had given as a price, to the graveyard.

"However, this also means that you won't be able to activate the effect of 'Priest Beast' again in your next turn, right?"

You Yang slowly raised his head, a sharp, cold light flashing in his dark eyes.

"Therefore, the activation of [Forbidden Drop] is not a complete failure."

Is one round invalid?

It's not too difficult to solve!

"Heh, this is the only time you can be stubborn."

Ken Ford narrowed his eyes, a growing sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Youyang... is too peaceful.

In the past, opponents were always panicked, bewildered, and helpless after the effect of the Dharma King Beast was successfully activated, and some even collapsed.

But You Yang's expression remained remarkably calm.

It was as if they didn't take the Dharma King Beast, which was capable of sealing off everything, seriously at all.

This naturally displeased him, and what followed was this displeasure.

It was a hint of fear.

As someone who has defeated gods, who can guarantee what kind of trump cards You Yang has in his hands?

You Yang had no intention of responding further.

He revealed his two cards and calmly said:

"With the chain settlement completed, I'm entering the main phase."

"I activate the effect of [Metroidvania] in my hand."

"You can activate this effect by sending one other LIGHT monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position."
