Chapter 660: Chongzhu Yishi Rongguang, Can Pull Out Any Ritual He Points To
From Hayato's deck, Ojama Yellow, who never understood the meaning of "staying put," poked his head out and looked at Hayato's field.
"Hehehe~ Aniki is getting completely serious this time."
Also poking her head out was Little Blue, Dragonmaid House from Hayato's graveyard: "Oh oh oh, so many powerful monsters!"
Ojama Yellow: "Destiny HERO - Plasma, who is unaffected by the opponent's spell card effects and can also negate the opponent's monster effects!"
Little Blue: "ABC-Dragon Buster, who can banish the opponent's cards during the opponent's turn and even hide itself in the graveyard!"
Looking at each other, Ojama Yellow and Little Blue said in unison, "And, the two of us, who are incredibly powerful!"
"Definitely going to crush them!"
Amidst the back-and-forth banter of the two, Dartz began his turn: "My turn, draw."
"The continuous spell card, Nightmare's Mirage, activates the moment you enter your standby phase!" Seeing Dartz draw a card, Hayato quickly said, reaching for his deck with his right hand, "During the opponent's standby phase, I draw cards from my deck until my hand size is four. Draw!"
Saying this, Hayato drew four cards at once, and his hand that had been completely used up last turn was replenished by more than half in the blink of an eye.
"The gold and silver treasures seen by The Bandit in the Desert are nothing but an empty mirage, easily shattered, and the future and hope that Human Civilization can see now are the same," Dartz shook his head slightly and commented. "Now that you have drawn four cards, Hayato, it means that during the standby phase of your next turn, you will also need to discard four cards from your hand because of this."
Having observed Hayato for a long time, Dartz was naturally no stranger to Nightmare's Mirage. He also glanced at the two cards set in Hayato's Back Row.
Just like Kaiba's three Blue-Eyes White Dragons are always linked with Polymerization and De-Fusion, and Joey Wheeler's Graceful Dice and Dice of Archfiend always appear together, Hayato's Nightmare's Mirage is always used in conjunction with the quick-play spell card, Emergency Provisions.
This combo allows Hayato to replenish four cards for the cost of two cards when playing second, a return rate as high as 100%, and he can even gain 1000 life points.
That Emergency Provisions is likely set among those two cards now, right?
"Heh heh, you can't be sure about that, Dartz. As long as I want to do it, the future I resist will not befall me," Hayato said, boasting, looking at the four perfect cards he had drawn.
Hayato was still satisfied with his current field setup. After all, as far as he knew, whether it was the Ko'aki Meiru deck that Dartz used against him before, which was completely tailored to counter him, or the Orichalcos cards Dartz used in his duel against Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler, none of them would be a match for his "pure" Dragonmaid deck.
However, Hayato slightly overlooked one point, which was that the Ko'aki Meiru deck was a collection of cards that Dartz had casually gathered over ten thousand years as a pastime, and the Orichalcos cards were also the power Dartz obtained based on the "Orichalcos God."
But, as the Emperor of the Atlantean Civilization which flourished before the birth of Human Civilization ten thousand years ago, the power that Dartz himself possessed was only now being displayed to Hayato.
"During my Main Phase, I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands in Attack Position." Dartz played a monster card from his hand onto the field, about to activate the effect of the monster he had summoned. "When Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands is summoned or successfully Flip Summoned, activate its effect. I search from my deck—"
Saying this, Dartz was about to take out a card from his deck, but to his surprise, the Duel Disk he was wearing on his left hand, which was manifested by dark power, released an electric current the next moment, stopping him from performing the search action?
"Oh? Are you trying to search for that broken card, Mirror Knight Summoner, or its corresponding ritual spell card from your deck, Dartz?" Hayato immediately thought of the broken card he had seen Dartz use when he was sealed in a Different Dimension.
One ritual spell card, one tribute, one ritual monster, and then you could summon as many tokens as possible onto your field without cost, and each of them had exaggerated resistance to battle destruction and combat power. They could be used for aggressive plays to clear monsters offensively or as tributes to summon a powerful monster defensively. Even though Link Summon did not exist in this era, Mirror Knight Summoner could still be called a powerful ritual monster.
Naturally, Hayato thought Dartz was going to summon that monster, since Dartz had already demonstrated the same process in his duel against Yugi and the others.
Facing Dartz's puzzled expression as he looked at his Duel Disk, Hayato put his hands on hips and said proudly, "Seizing the first turn and setting up my field was your greatest failure, Dartz. From the moment I summoned Destiny HERO - Plasma, you no longer have the qualification to play the game."
"As long as Destiny HERO - Plasma exists in my Monster Zone, all face-up monster effects on your field will be completely negated!"
Hearing Hayato's explanation, Dartz looked at his field and only then noticed that the blood pool from which Hayato had summoned Destiny HERO - Plasma earlier had not left Ojama Country, but had gradually spread to his side of the field. The Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands he had just summoned happened to step right into it.
The defiled blood polluted the bronze statue, negating its effect and wasting Dartz's precious Normal Summon.
Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands [Level 4/LIGHT]
[Fairy/Effect]
[1400/1000 → ATK 1000/DEF 1400]
Compared to Aster's original Destiny HERO - Plasma, Hayato's Real Card Version Destiny HERO - Plasma, while lacking the ability like a fake card to "gain the effects of Equip Monsters," gained a biased version of the Skill Drain effect as compensation, which could be activated as a single card without needing the support of D-Force.
Any monster on Dartz's field would have its effects negated, while Hayato's monsters were completely unaffected. Furthermore, this was a continuous effect that didn't need to be activated. Because of this, the Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands that Dartz had just summoned to the field could not use its effect to search for a Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell Card from the deck.
Seeing his combo starter become ineffective, Dartz's expression was normal: "I see, you've locked down the monster effects on my field. Is that why you specifically equipped that Destiny HERO - Plasma with a protecting Union Monster to prevent it from being destroyed?"
"But Hayato, that alone is not enough to lock down my full power. Although all monster effects on the field will be negated, the monster cards in my hand will not be affected." Saying this, Dartz revealed a card from his hand to Hayato. "Discard Gishki Shadow from my hand and activate its effect!"
Damn, Dartz, what's going on with you? Why are you playing Gishki?
Looking at the card Dartz discarded and sent to the graveyard, Hayato's heart stopped, and he ranted in his inner thoughts.
First the weak Ko'aki Meiru deck, and now the outdated Gishki Ritual Deck. Dartz, are you an old-timer?
Speaking of Ritual Summon, a Summoning Method abandoned by Kaiku Corporation, Hayato was naturally no stranger to it. After all, he himself had the "pure" Drytron deck, which could be called the strongest Ritual Deck. It was just that because he was annoyed by the Counter Card Ko'aki Meiru Doom that Dartz used against him last time, Hayato did not continue using the Drytron deck in this duel that he absolutely had to win, but instead chose the Dragonmaid deck.
Counting through the numerous Ritual Decks, each has its own characteristic. For example, Megalith, whose Ritual Monsters can act as Ritual Spells themselves; Vendread, which Ritual Summons from the Graveyard; Nekroz, which uses cards from the Extra Deck as Tributes, and so on. The Gishki deck naturally also has its characteristic, a quite annoying characteristic.
"Because of Gishki Shadow's effect, I can Add to Hand one Gishki Ritual Spell Card from my Deck. The card I select is this one, Gishki Aquamirror, and I activate it."
This time, Dartz successfully took out a Ritual Spell Card from his deck because he was activating the monster effect by discarding and sending to the graveyard from his hand, not using a monster effect on the field. He showed it to Hayato briefly and said,
"Gishki Aquamirror can tribute face-up monsters from my field and the opponent's field whose total Levels equal that of the Ritual Summoned monster, and perform a Gishki Ritual Summon!"
That's right, just like how Infernoid monsters, under the effect of Void Imagination, can tribute the opponent's powerful monsters as the cost for their own effects with their excessive "tribute" effect, the most annoying aspect of the Gishki deck is that it can use the opponent's monsters as tribute for a Ritual Summon!
Hayato's face turned dark, watching his invincible Destiny HERO - Plasma and the Ojama Blue next to it both being sent to the graveyard.
Although Hayato had equipped Destiny HERO - Plasma with the Union Monster Metalized Parasite - Moon Cloak to give it resistance to being unaffected by the opponent's spell card effects, to prevent Dartz from taking control of monsters or planning to disrupt the game, unfortunately, the "tribute" of Gishki Aquamirror is the power of the rules and completely ignores your resistance. The two monsters and the blood pool in the center of Ojama Country receded together, turning into ten stars that floated towards Dartz's field.
"The Atlantean Civilization was a civilization closely related to the Ocean. My ancestors were accompanied by spirits, and what they finally gained was this secret art. However, as the power of the Orichalcos descended, the out-of-control human heart and darkness led this secret art to undergo mutation, causing the Atlanteans to become twisted and distorted."
Saying this, Dartz held a card with a blue border over his head. "The total Level is 10☆. Take this fallen stance as a warning! Fear it! That which emerges from the Nether Sea!"
"Ritual Summon! Gishki Zielgigas!"
Behind Dartz, a tall giant rose from the suddenly appearing pitch-black tide. Its strange, four strong and powerful arms assumed a battle stance. As soon as it appeared, it trampled the buildings in Ojama Country.
Because the Ojama monsters disappeared from Hayato's field, Ojama Country lost the power to swap Flip Monsters' ATK and DEF at this moment. What's worse, Hayato also lost Destiny HERO - Plasma, which had a powerful negation effect, causing the monsters on Dartz's field to regain their own effects.
Gishki Zielgigas [Level 10/WATER]
[Aqua/Ritual/Effect]
[ATK 3200/DEF 0 → ATK 1600/DEF 0]
Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands [ATK 1000 → ATK 1400]
ABC-Dragon Buster [DEF 3000 → DEF 2800]
Because of Gishki Aquamirror's effect, Gishki Zielgigas appeared using Hayato's monsters as Tribute.
However, as everyone knows, powerful cards are often accompanied by great risk.
The ATK of Gishki Zielgigas, Ritual Summoned by Gishki Aquamirror's card effect, fell from 3200 points, which surpassed Blue-Eyes White Dragon's ATK, to only 1600 points, half of its original ATK. Furthermore, Dartz could not perform a Battle Phase this turn.
Even if he could perform a Battle Phase, with just the ATK of the two monsters on Dartz's field, he couldn't even break through ABC-Dragon Buster's defense.
Although he had some understanding of Gishki's characteristic of being able to Tribute the opponent's monsters as Tributes for its own Ritual Summon, Hayato's knowledge was only that much. Because he hadn't played Gishki much or dueled against Gishki many times, Hayato didn't remember what kind of effect Gishki Zielgigas had.
But looking at it not activating its effect as soon as it appeared, he guessed it wasn't an on-appearance activation, which meant it had to be manually activated. This gave Hayato an opportunity to make a move.
"Although I don't know what ability that monster has, in short, I'll activate ABC-Dragon Buster's effect first!" Saying this, Hayato sent a card from his hand to the graveyard. "Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 card on the field; banish it. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."
"How dare you tribute my Tamashii, Destiny HERO - Plasma! It's always only me who gets to tribute other people's monsters! Unforgivable, Dartz!"
Hayato reached out and pointed at Gishki Zielgigas behind Dartz. "Banish your Gishki Zielgigas on the field!"
Accompanying the card Hayato sent to the graveyard as energy filled into the cannon barrel, ABC-Dragon Buster's two cannon barrels skipped the charging process and directly fired two laser beams. In an instant, they pierced through the body of Gishki Zielgigas, which had appeared for less than ten seconds. The four-armed giant was destroyed in just a few seconds of appearing, and even its remains were erased.
Dartz, however, had a relaxed stance about his Ritual Monster being banished. Looking at ABC-Dragon Buster's smoking cannon barrels, he said, "A powerful effect that can banish cards during the opponent's turn, huh? Although it's a bit of a pity about Gishki Zielgigas, it also forced out your monster's once-per-turn effect, Hayato."
"Also, although it has already been banished, I still have to mention that Gishki Zielgigas's effect is: You can pay 1000 life points; draw 1 card and reveal it to both players, then if it was a Gishki monster, you can return 1 card on the field to the owner's deck."
Glancing at the three cards in his hand, Dartz drew one of them and said, "However, starting now, I'm going to go all out, Hayato."
"Activate the magic card, Advanced Ritual Art. Send Normal Monsters from my deck to the graveyard whose total Levels equal that of the Ritual Summoned monster, and Ritual Summon one Ritual Monster from my hand."
As Dartz spoke, he drew out a card that Hayato did not expect. "The Normal Monster I sent to the graveyard is Little White Rabbit, Level 1!"
A Level 1 Ritual?
Hayato froze for a moment.
Wait a moment, don't tell me, you're not going to summon that monster—
From Hayato's deck, Ojama Yellow, who never understood the meaning of "staying put," poked his head out and looked at Hayato's field.
"Hehehe~ Aniki is getting completely serious this time."
Also poking her head out was Little Blue, Dragonmaid House from Hayato's graveyard: "Oh oh oh, so many powerful monsters!"
Ojama Yellow: "Destiny HERO - Plasma, who is unaffected by the opponent's spell card effects and can also negate the opponent's monster effects!"
Little Blue: "ABC-Dragon Buster, who can banish the opponent's cards during the opponent's turn and even hide itself in the graveyard!"

Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands [ATK 1000 → ATK 1400]

Because of Gishki Aquamirror's effect, Gishki Zielgigas appeared using Hayato's monsters as Tribute.
However, as everyone knows, powerful cards are often accompanied by great risk.
The ATK of Gishki Zielgigas, Ritual Summoned by Gishki Aquamirror's card effect, fell from 3200 points, which surpassed Blue-Eyes White Dragon's ATK, to only 1600 points, half of its original ATK. Furthermore, Dartz could not perform a Battle Phase this turn.
