Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"OK... Uncle, please start your performance."

Youxing stretched out his right hand, coming back to his senses, and signaled Anasis to be bold and unrestrained. There was no dust or G in his hand, let alone infinite bubbles.

"Oh! Then you better watch out for the power of my Puffin!"

Anasis laughed loudly, waved his arms, and showed a card in his hand to everyone present: "First... I activate the effect of [Warrior of Atlantis] in my hand, discard this card from my hand, and retrieve a Field Spell [Legendary City of Atlantis] from the deck!"

After sending an Aquatic Monster that looked a bit like Dolphin to the Graveyard, Anasis immediately added a Field Magic Card to his hand.

"...Atlantis? Isn't this the ancient civilization that angered the gods and sank to the bottom of the sea?"

"Emm... Since I'm a businessman who made my fortune on the sea, my deck is also related to the sea..."

"Ancient civilization... underwater city... Is it similar to the underwater city where the ancient gods sleep in the Cthulhu Mythos - [R'lyeh]?"

According to the world view of the first generation of Yu-Gi-Oh, the sinking of the ancient civilized city, Atlantis, should be closely related to the leader of the Olihagang cult, the fake Card King, Dazhi.

"Yes, it's just what you think!"

Listening to the voice beside him, Anasis curled his lips and directly placed the Field Magic Card into the side area of ​​the Duel Disk: "Field Magic Card - [Legendary City Atlantis] Activate! Spread! Turn this environment into the domain of the sea!"

After a flash of light, the transparent glass aquatic monster was replaced by the ruins of the underwater city in the blink of an eye.

Opening his arms, Anasis fully felt the changes in the environment.

Since the scene at this time is an illusion created by the giant egg device inside the submarine, and not the real scene in the dark duel, people will not have any abnormal reactions even if they are deep under the sea.

Things like thalassophobia, claustrophobia... none of them will be triggered in front of this virtual image.

【The legendary city of Atlantis】

(field magic card)

effect:

This card name is used as "Sea" in the rules.

①: Increase the ATK and DEF of all Water monsters on the field by 200.

②: As long as this card exists in the Field Zone, the Level of both players' hands and Water monsters on the field is reduced by 1 point.

"Oh my... I almost got anxious just now when I saw the real sea water all around me~"

Yuki Judai wanted to scream loudly, but when he recalled the previous blunder, he immediately chose to shut his mouth. Looking at the calm expressions of the people around him, he couldn't help but pat his chest in relief.

Fortunately... Fortunately it was just a virtual image, fortunately I didn't scream just now...

If I am treated as an idiot again, even someone as strong-minded as me will feel a little embarrassed...

"【Legendary City of Atlantis】... You activated this field magic not just to change the environment, right?"

Looking at the surrounding seabed scenery, Youxing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After getting used to the high-speed modern duels, Yusei couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic when he saw ancient magic cards like [Legendary City of Atlantis].

I thought I was the only one who put that useless Skyscraper into the deck just for sentimentality...

I didn't expect that someone would use the even more useless Field Magic Card in actual combat...

If you take out a [Magic Bell Cave], I can still look up to you, but... [Legendary City of Atlantis], what the hell is this?

Besides allowing you to recruit 5-star water monsters, does it have any other uses?

No way, right?

No one would really care about the extra 200 points of attack power, right?

"Hahaha...of course it's not just that!"

Anasis shook his finger and smiled, "Due to the effect of the Field Spell Card, the level of the Water attribute monsters in both hands and on the field will be reduced by 1 star. This way, I can summon a 5-star monster directly from my hand without offering sacrifices!"

According to the rules of the duel, generally speaking, if a monster of 5 stars or above wants to appear, it must be liberated by a certain number of sacrifices.

5-6星一只、7-8星两只、9-12星3只……

This is generally the process.

However, there are also unusual situations, such as... various special summons, and situations like now where the star count is reduced.

"Hmm... a 5-star monster. What are you going to do?"

Folding his arms, Youxing assumed an attitude of watching a good show.

At this point, he was too lazy to even pretend to be surprised.

Uncle Anasis, please don't show up as a mortal.

Otherwise, I might not be able to hold back my laughter...

"Hehe~ Speaking of 5-star monsters, this card is definitely the one!"

As everyone watched in silence, Anasis slammed the long-awaited card onto his duel disk: "Come on! [Sea Dragon God - Leviathan] (Sea Dragon/Water/5 Stars/Attack Power 2000/Defense Power 1700)!"

The sea tide surged, and after a series of whirlpools appeared, the overlord of the sea named Leviathan circled its huge body and came in front of Anasis.

The streamlined body like a python and the sharp fangs standing on both sides of its cheeks all show its nature as a hunter.

"Due to the effect of [Legendary City Atlantis], the attack and defense of the water attribute monsters on my field will increase by 200 points!"

([Sea Dragon God - Leviathan] 2000/1700→2200/1900)

"A monster with 2200 attack power... not bad."

Touching his chin, Youxing gave a fair evaluation of the sea snake dragon in front of him.

At least, it is not a mortal bone monster like [Demon Lizard Yihao].

"Youxing, you better remember this..."

After summoning his own monster, Anasis did not rush to activate its effect. Instead, he raised his arm and pointed at Youxing: "In this world, as long as you have money, you can do anything... Whether it is status, reputation, or people's hearts, they are all things that can be bought with money!"

"Mmmmmmm..."

Yusei gave a noncommittal answer to Anasis's statement.

Neither agree nor disagree.

He just used "hmm" to indicate that he had heard what was said.

For someone like Youxing who is determined and has found his own path, it is fine to just listen to other people's opinions, which will not affect his judgment in the end.

Anasis' words make sense, and they also contain his insights over the years, but... they also have certain limitations.

For example, President Kaiba and Miss Yui are both very rich. Suppose they are both willing to pay for Yusei to spend a night, and the president offers more...

But You would definitely reject the president's unreasonable request without hesitation and throw himself into Miss Jie's side without hesitation, even though her heart could not be considered great.

It's not because of anything else, it's simply because he has no special interest in this area.

I have no sexual interest in the same sex, no matter how much you give me!

This is Mr. You’s bottom line.

"Money is omnipotent...but there is one thing that I can never get no matter what..."

"...Oh? I can't get it no matter what? Something that can't be bought with money... could it be something as mysterious as love?"

When you have a lot of money, you will inevitably be surrounded by a group of people with various purposes.

Perhaps, Anasis had just such worries. He was always worried that others approached him with ulterior motives and were coveting his property.

Looking in Yusei's direction, Anasis slowly explained, "No... I'm talking about the Three Phantom Magic Cards!"

384 This smell is the smell of lying!

"No...I'm talking about the Three Phantom Magic Cards!"

Looking in the direction of Youxing, Anasis sighed. No matter how much money he had, this was something he could not buy.

What are women? I'm tired of them!

I am a sea parrot... I am only interested in cards now!

Youxing: “…”

OK! The topic has come full circle and is back to where it started.

So you are determined to get the Three Phantom Demons, right?

"Anyway, that's it..."

After saying his thoughts, Anasis continued what he had just said: "Next... I activate the effect of [Sea Dragon God - Leviathan], once per turn, during my Main Phase, and add a [Sea], [Sea Dragon God] Magic Trap Card, or [Underwater] Magic Trap Card from my deck to my hand."

"I chose to add the Trap Card [Dark Rock Sea Dragon] to my hand."

The indicator light on the duel disk flickered, and a card popped out individually.

Holding the card in his hand, Anasis curled his lips and directly ambush it in his backcourt, and then... added two more cards in his hand: "I ambush three cards, the turn ends!"

"It's my turn, draw a card."

Lifting the duel disk in his hand, Yusei calmly pulled out a card, and glancing at the twisting Sea Dragon God, Yusei asked Anasis, "Uncle, you are obviously not a dark duelist, so why are you so eager for the three phantom magic cards? These monsters... don't match your water attribute deck, right?"

The three phantom demons are "Uriah the Divine Flame Emperor", "Hammon the Thunder Emperor" and "Labiel the Phantom Demon Emperor". The common feature of these three monsters is that they cannot be Normal Summoned and require specific conditions to be Special Summoned.

Among them, [Uriah, the Divine Flame Emperor] needs to send the three face-up Continuous Trap Cards on his field to the Graveyard, [Hammon, the Thunder Emperor] needs to send the three face-up Continuous Spell Cards on his field to the Graveyard, and [Rabiel, the Phantom Demon Emperor] needs to send the three Demon-Type monsters on his field to the Graveyard before it can be Special Summoned.

No matter which phantom demon it is, the conditions for summoning it are not easy.

And even if a huge price is paid to summon them out, the benefits they bring can only be described as merely acceptable.

Furthermore, when using the Magic Card, you also have to bear the risk of backlash...

Is this thing really worth snatching up?

"Youxing, you are someone I admire. Since you asked, I will tell you honestly..." After clearing his throat, Anasis continued, "I have a dream..."

"...That is, to build a brand new duel academy on the bottom of the sea!"

"What... establishing an academy?" Hearing the words coming from Anasis' mouth, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces.

Just like the end of work is to take the civil service exam, do rich people want to build their own colleges?

President Kaiba was like this, the Manjome brothers were like this... and now Anasis... is also like this.

After acquiring endless wealth, they all thought about leaving some traces of their existence and experiencing the sense of accomplishment of having students all over the world.

"Since we are planning to establish an academy, we must prepare some symbolic cards..."

Anasis sighed with a look of nostalgia, "I know that [Obelisk's Giant God Soldier] and [Osiris's Sky Dragon] are in the hands of Kaiba Seto and Muto Yugi respectively, but these two are not easy to deal with... If you want the God Card, you can only fight for the remaining [Winged Dragon of the Sun God]..."

"But! As for the God Card... I don't dare to think about it. It is a card that only the chosen ones can use. If others want to touch it and use it by force, they will only face the wrath of God..."

Anasis doesn't want to recreate the magnificent scene of "Death in Jonouchi" because of the wrath of the Pteranodon!

"...Since the Three Phantom Gods cannot be considered, then we can only settle for the next best thing and try to attack the Three Phantom Demons."

"I see……"

Listening to Anasis' explanation, Yusei nodded in agreement.

Although the Three Phantom Demons are relatively difficult to use, they are still quite impressive and are qualified to be used as symbolic treasures of the hospital.

"Not only that, besides the three phantom demons... I have another purpose."

Changing the subject, Anasis pointed at Yusei's body and said, "Yusei... I like you. Come and be mine!"

“…Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

"...Huh? This uncle wants Yusei to be his???"

"Hey, hey! What he said...isn't it what I thought it was?"

"Yusei...was favored by a guy???"

Hearing Anasis's earth-shattering speech, everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, while Youxing on the other side had an expression of great astonishment on his face.

"……I reject!"

Without even thinking twice, Youxing rejected Anasis' proposal out of hand.
