Is this the world of Yu-Gi-Oh? Ada thief!

"It's my turn, draw a card." John pulled out a card from the deck and looked at the lineups of both teams.

[John Anderson: 2500LP, hand 1→2]

[Gem Beast-Ruby Beast] (Golden Jade Strip) [ATK300]

[Jade Beast-Jade Turtle] [DEF2000]

[Gem Beast-Amethyst Cat] [DEF400]

[Gem Beast - Jade Pegasus] [ATK 1800]

Backcourt: [Cover] [Gemmon - Amber Mammoth] [Gemmon - Cobalt Spike Eagle]

[France: 100LP, 0 cards in hand]

[Winged Dragon of the Sun God] [ATK7200]

Backcourt: [True Sun God] [Sun God Unity] [Cover] x2

Location: [God Binding Tomb]

Although he undoubtedly had an absolute advantage in terms of basic points, the 7200 points of the [Sun God Winged Dragon] made his basic points advantage useless. After all, the 5000 points of attack power of the [Five Dragons] alone was enough to make even the Duel Ignore Monsters and various card bonuses look up to him, not to mention the 7200 points of the [Sun God Winged Dragon].

I can only say that even though it is a downgraded and weakened version, it still deserves the name of "God".

However, Duel Monsters is not just a game of comparing stats. To use a famous saying, "The attack power of a Duel Monster is not the key to winning a Duel." Just like what France had planned before, Duel Monsters is, after all, a game of reducing health!

"Change [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] and [Gemmon - Jade Turtle] on my field to attack position." John changed the cards on the duel disk from horizontal to vertical, looked at France and said, "Although the attack power of [Sun God Winged Dragon] is very high, it does not force the opponent to attack it. As long as there is a way to bypass it and attack the duelist directly, we can still win the duel!"

"The effect of [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] is that this card can directly attack the opponent's duelist this turn by halving its attack power."

(ps: animated version)

[Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] [DEF400 → ATK1200]

[Jade Beast - Jade Turtle] [DEF 2000 → ATK 600]

Unlike the effect of [Gemmon] in the other world, John's [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat] first reduces the attack power and then attacks directly. Like her, his [Gemmon-Rubymon] is different from the other world version. It has the ability to "Special Summon itself when placed in the Magic Trap Area as a Continuous Magic Card" and thus trigger the Special Summon effect.

When Judai saw [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] change to attack mode, he said excitedly: "There is actually a way to deal with powerful monsters. If we attack like this, we can win, John!"

"I hope so." In order to avoid being hit by a card like [Turbulent Burial], John did not summon any new monsters. He simply waved his hand and said, "Just like that, I will enter my battle phase and use [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] to directly attack the opponent's duelist!"

"Netherworld Thrust!"

Seeing [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] about to attack him, France had an angry expression on his face, because he felt that his dignity as a "God" was insulted: "How dare you use a monster like that to attack 'God'!? Unforgivable! As a 'God', would I be defeated so easily by you! "

"At this moment, I will use 'Fusion Release'!"

Although the name of the quick-attack magic card [Fusion Release] was mentioned, no card was opened on France's backfield. Instead, the continuous trap card [Sun God Fusion] that he had activated in the main phase 2 lit up and fell on him and [Sun God Winged Dragon]?

Before the attack of [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] arrived, France, who had merged with [Sun God Winged Dragon] before, actually flew back to the original place from the head of [Sun God Winged Dragon], and [Sun God Winged Dragon] let out a mournful cry and fell from the sky! ?

"After the original [Ra's Winged Dragon] fuses with the duelist, it can be released through the Quick Play Magic Card [Fusion Release], but [Sun God's Winged Dragon] is an inferior product, so it can only fuse and does not have the ability to disintegrate." France shook off the non-existent dust on his body and sneered, "But my talent makes up for this!"

"The Continuous Trap Card [Sun God Fusion] allows me to pay 100 Basic Points during both parties' Main Phases to increase the Attack and Defense of [Sun God Winged Dragon], but more importantly, its secondary effect is to cancel the fusion state between me and [Sun God Winged Dragon]!"

"Once per turn, I can activate [Winged Dragon of the Sun God] on the field, and restore my Life Points to the value of that attack power!"

[Francis: 100→7300LP, 0 cards in hand]

“Liberating God and sacrificing the [Sun God] to recover his basic points!?” John was stunned by France’s operation. He looked at the [Sun God Winged Dragon] that fell on France and lost its power and fell to the ground in disbelief. “How could he do such an excessive thing to ‘God’!”

“How many outrageous things will you have to do before you give up!” Judai was filled with righteous indignation, “Even though [Sun God’s Winged Dragon] is not the real [Ra’s Winged Dragon], even a fake one has its own soul! Your card is crying!”

"The Sun God is not your servant! He is also the strongest god who makes countless duelists feel fear and reverence for him!" John became a little excited.

"Stop talking nonsense. Cards are just tools to possess power." France said confidently, "Not to mention that you got it wrong from the beginning. The [Sun God] is not a 'God' - I am the 'God'!"

Stepping on the head of the fallen [Winged Dragon of the Sun God], France pointed his thumb at himself.

“Puff!”

At this moment, [Gem Beast - Amethyst Cat] rushed in front of France and swung its sharp claws to hit him in the face. Although it was only a virtual projection and did not cause any actual damage, it left three short scratches on France's face.

John also cooperated by opening a card in the backfield and said, "At the moment when [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat] attacks, I activate the cover card in the backfield - the continuous trap card [Gem's Delicate]. This card can increase the attack power of the [Gemmon] on my field by the value of their original defense power!"

[Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] [ATK 1200 → 1600 → 800 → 1600]

[Francis: 7300 → 6500 LP, 0 cards in hand]

Although the damage was not high, only 800 points, he was hit right after he finished speaking, which made France extremely angry. He pointed at the [Gem Beast - Amethyst Cat] angrily while covering his face with scratches: "How dare you use your claws to attack the 'God'!"

"I've heard enough of that nonsense. Let's get rid of this lunatic, Johnny." After cleaning the meat threads from his claws, [Jade Beast - Amethyst Cat] looked at France with disdain and urged John.

"Ah, even if you didn't say it, Amethyst, I really wanted to teach him a lesson. He can only see the power of the card but can't realize the heart of the card. It's just a difference of philosophy, but what he did to [Apollo Winged Dragon] is really a bit infuriating." John nodded to [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat], and then looked at the other two monsters on his field that were in attack position and said, "Ruby, Erald, you are the same, right?"

"I'm also very angry because I've always been called a small fry." [Jade Beast - Jade Pegasus] nodded, while [Jade Beast - Ruby Beast] waved his little fists repeatedly to show that he had been itching to fight for a long time.

"It's rare that I have gained considerable attack power. Just order us around, Johnny." Even the [Jade Beast - Jade Turtle] changed from the leisurely old man's posture just now and became full of vigor.

"Oh! Then let's attack together!" John nodded and pointed at France, "Everyone, launch a general attack!"

[Gem Beast - Jade Pegasus] [ATK 1800 → 3000]

[Gemmon-Rubymon] [ATK300→600]

[Jewel Beast - Jade Turtle] [ATK600→2600]

Although the original attack power of the [Jademon]s is not high, after adding their respective defense values, even [Jademon-Jade Turtle] has 2600 attack power, which exceeds that of [Dark Magician]. Not to mention that the attack power of [Jademon-Jade Pegasus] directly reaches the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] level of 3000 points!

At this moment, the combined attack power of the [Gem Beasts] on the field that John has not attacked yet has reached 6200 points. After one round of total attack, France's basic points will almost be wiped out, leaving only 300 points like a candle in the wind!

"First, the attack of [Gemmon-Rubymon], the Crimson Pounce!"

However, after hearing John's words, France showed a slightly regretful expression: "What a pity! Why didn't they attack with the more powerful [Gem Beast - Jade Pegasus] first? Tsk, it's all [Messenger of the Underworld - Guts]'s fault."

After casually complaining about the card that changed the attack order of countless duelists, France pressed the card cover button and sneered, "From the beginning, you have been muttering nonsense like 'the heart of the card'. Then let me ask you - can your so-called 'heart' prevent your cards from killing each other?"

"Activate Trap Card [Chaos Foil]!"

As France activated the card, [Jademon-Rubymon], who had just rushed out not far, found that the enemy in front of him inexplicably changed from France, who was empty on the field, to [Jademon-Amethyst Cat] who had already attacked John on the field and was now looking at him in surprise?

"When you declare a second direct attack during the same Battle Phase, Chaos Foil can be activated, causing that opponent's monster to fight the first opponent's monster that was directly attacked, and calculating the damage." France pointed to John's field, "In other words, it's [Gemmon-AmethystCat] fighting [Gemmon-Rubymon], but no matter who is stronger or weaker, one of them will be destroyed in the battle, and you will be the only one to take the battle damage!"

At this moment, the attack power of [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat] is 1600 points, and the attack power of [Gemmon-Rubymon] is 600 points. Not only can John not use [Gemmon-Rubymon] to reduce France's basic points, but he will also receive 1000 points of battle damage because of that [Chaos Foil]? !

More importantly, [Jademon-Rubymon] will also be destroyed by [Jademon-Amethyst Cat], which John cannot accept!

"Quick-attack Magic Card [Exaggeration]! I won't let you do what you want!"

Between [Gemmon-Rubymon] and [Gemmon-AmethystCat] who were about to fight, two gigantic phantoms of the two suddenly appeared and began to fight fiercely instead of them fighting in person.

Originally, he was planning to use this card in the event that [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat] failed to successfully clear France's basic points and had to face [Apollo Winged Dragon], but John was not reluctant to use this card at this moment to protect his family.

"At the beginning of the Damage Step of a battle between monsters, I can choose to activate an effect of [Exaggeration]. I choose to change the attacking monster to Defense Position. Because it is changed to Defense Position, the battle between [Gemmon-Rubymon] and [Gemmon-AmethystCat] will not result in casualties!"

The battle between the huge phantoms ended with the victory of [Jade Beast-Amethyst Cat], but because the battle was fought by those two phantoms from beginning to end, neither [Jade Beast-Amethyst Cat] nor [Jade Beast-Ruby Beast] was hurt, and everyone was happy.

Feeling lucky that his [Gem Beast] was not destroyed, John looked at France again and said angrily, "Time and again, you are actually using such despicable means to provoke disputes."

"Bite your teeth! I'm going to correct you, an adult like you!"

France, who failed to destroy [Jademon-Rubymon], looked at [Jademon-Emerald Turtle] and [Jademon-Sapphire Pegasus] who were as angry as John. Although he felt a little pressured, he still said stubbornly: "No, it's just like that!"

"Next is the direct attack of [Jade Beast - Jade Turtle], Emerald Splash!"

"Leave it to me, Johnny!" Responding to John's command, the [Jade Beast - Jade Turtle] swung out the large emerald spikes on its shell, piercing through France's body!

“Hmm!”

[Francis: 6500 → 3900 LP, 0 cards in hand]

Suddenly receiving an attack of 2600 points, France took a half step back, but did not activate the remaining cover cards and withstood the attack.

But it’s not over yet, the next [Jade Beast - Jade Pegasus] has not yet launched an attack.

"The direct attack of [Gem Beast - Jade Pegasus], Azure Wind!"

With John's anger, the [Jade Beast - Jade Pegasus] was wrapped in a whirlwind and used the horn on its head to hit France!

"Right at this moment! Do you think it's over after [Chaos Foil]? No, what I'm waiting for is the moment when your [Gem Beast - Jade Pegasus] with the highest attack power launches an attack, to see if you can still play the second [Exaggeration]!" As if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, France suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Activate the Trap Card [Attack Guiding Armor]!"

"When both monsters declare an attack, select an effect to activate, destroying the attacking monster, or target a monster on both sides of the field other than the attacking monster, and change the target to that monster for damage calculation."

France still pointed at the [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat], which had the lowest attack power among the monsters in attack mode on John's field, and said, "You bastard cat who dared to scratch my face, I'll see how you die this time!"

"And, with 3000 attack points, you can fight with 1600 attack points. Take the 1400 points of combat damage!"

At this point, France's tactics were completely clear - his main strategy was to use [Winged Dragon of the Sun God] for a strong attack, or to heal himself madly and take insignificant damage, and then use various cards to make the opponent's monsters fall into a disgusting civil war!

Just like [Chaos Foil] just now, John was once again caught in the dilemma of his monsters killing each other, and the only card left in his hand could not help him save [Gemmon - Amethyst Cat]!

"Amethyst!"

Although neither John nor his [Gemmon] were very reluctant, under the effect of [Attack Inducing Armor], the attack of [Gemmon-Jade Pegasus] still hit the body of [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat] and destroyed it!

Then, John, the controller of [Gemmon-Amethyst Cat], also suffered unnecessary combat damage!

"Woooooa ...

[John: 2500→1100LP, 1 card in hand] (End of this chapter)
