Chapter 159: Soulless
"Duel!" x2
【You Xuan, LP 4000】

[Cellphone Soga, LP 4000]

"I attack first, draw a card." You Xuan took the initiative, "activate the magic card 'Foolish Burial', send a monster from the deck to the graveyard.

I took this card from my deck."

He pulled out the monster card that was automatically retrieved from the deck.

"'Killer Snake' sent to the graveyard."

After seeing this action, the few people who had already retreated to watch the game quickly guessed the system that You Xuan was using this time.

"Killer Snake, so this is a tactic mainly involving the Abyss Soldier." Hayato held his chin in thought, "I remember it was also a very infuriating, no, very powerful tactic."

"Yeah, what kind of duel will You Xuan have this time?" Judai said excitedly, "It's really exciting."

Marufuji Sho: "Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit scary to duel with a spirit that's looking for a sacrifice?"

"."

"I put a monster facedown in Defense Position, then face down a card. This ends the turn."

Soga: "My turn, draw a card."

The android elf did not use a duel disk, but instead a huge card projection appeared out of thin air behind him with its back facing outwards.

As he waved his arm, a faint arc of electricity leaped, and a new card fell from the air.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from my deck, and discard two cards from my hand."

Soga's voice was dull and muddy.

"Then the card you just discarded, the effect of 'Android - Psychic Returner'. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, select a 'Android - Psychic Shocker' in your Graveyard and Special Summon it!"

The effect of Psychic Returner that appeared in the GX animation has no side effects, but after it was made into a real card, a restriction was added that "Soga Special Summoned by this effect will be destroyed during the End Phase."

But what the elves have now is naturally the animated version, which does not have such restrictions.

Sho and Hayato exclaimed together, "Are you going to appear so soon!?"

"Not bad!"

There was a hint of excitement in Suojia's cold and hoarse voice.

"The other card I just discarded is myself! According to the effect of 'Artificial Human - Psychic Returner', I can be resurrected through this duel!"

He shouted impatiently, and then the ghost-like translucent body disappeared. Only a second later, Soga's image appeared in the monster area in the front field, and his body gradually gained substance from the ghost state, as if it was dispelling the virtualization and returning to its original state.

"Finally! The feeling of resurrection!" He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Of course, this is not a complete resurrection, but just a temporary physical entity as an elf under the constraints of the rules of the duel.

But even such a short resurrection experience card was enough to excite him, and made him more determined to be resurrected.
"Activate the face-up card, Continuous Trap - Palace Suppression!" Yugen flipped the backfield, "As long as this card is on the field, both players can pay 800 life points to negate the Special Summon of a monster or the effect that contains a Special Summoned Monster, and destroy that card!"

Soga: "Nani!?"

The Suppression of the Palace is a banned card in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh. However, similar to the "Warriors' Separatism" that You Xuan used before, they are both the ultimate underworld cards that make modern Yu-Gi-Oh players gasp at the sight of them, but in the early days of their creation, no one was interested in them.

This can be seen from the banned and restricted cards list. As an ancient card, Suppression was not listed as a semi-restricted card until the Synchro Era, and was officially banned in the Gyro Era.

It can be seen that this card actually received mediocre response in the early years of the slow environment of Yu-Gi-Oh. Moreover, as long as this card is posted on the field, both players can pay 800 life points to negate the other party's special summon, which is also a double-edged sword for the initiator himself, and it is not that useful.

It was not until the Synchro Era, when the Yu-Gi-Oh environment began to rely more and more on the Special Summoning of various monsters, that this ancient card began to be regarded by players as a representative of the vicious underworld blockade.

"So I pay 800 life points," You Xuan said, "to negate the special summon effect of 'Android - Psychic Returner'!"

[You Xuan, LP 4000→LP 3200]

"Ugh!"

Soga, who was hit by a bullet, seemed to be punished by thunder. His figure, which had just appeared in the front court, was instantly blown into smoke.

Half a second later, there was a distortion of the image like a holographic image, and then Soga's ghostly image returned to the position of the duelist.

He had just stepped into the world of the living when he was kicked back. He failed in the resurrection match, and Suojia was very depressed. "Damn it." Suojia said in a deep voice, "Then I summon the Dark Hound, attack position."

[Dark Mad Dog, Attack Power 1900]

A yellow crazy mad dog barked angrily as soon as it appeared, which was exactly the true portrayal of Soga's inner thoughts when he failed to resurrect at this time.

"Attack with the Dark Hound!"

The yellow mad dog rushed out barking, and its sharp fangs fiercely bit the monster on the playground.

"The monster you attacked is the 'Skeleton Angel'." You Xuan said.

[Skeleton Angel, Defense 400]

"Skeleton Angel is a monster with a Flip effect. When this card is flipped, draw a card from your deck."

You Xuan draws a card.

Soga hummed: "Then put another card on the ground, and the turn is over."

Don't be impatient. His resurrection is only a matter of time. As long as we win this duel.
"Draw a card on my turn." You Xuan said, "The effect of 'Killer Snake' in the graveyard, if this card is in the graveyard during the standby phase, you can return it to your hand."

You Xuan retrieved the Killer Snake and revealed another card in his hand.

"Then activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from your deck." You Xuan said, "Then Normal Summon 'Abyss Soldier'!"

[Abyss Soldier, Attack Power 1800]

Soga looked at the soldier who emerged from the water waving a trident.

The attack power is 1800, which is not as good as the "Dark Mad Dog" he currently controls on the field.

The suppression effect of the Palace is two-way. Although the opponent just used this card to kick his body back into the grave, which is very frustrating, as long as this card is permanently attached to the field, the restrictions on both sides of the duel are equal.

When Yugen is about to perform a special summon, Soga can use "Royal Palace Suppression" to invalidate it.

Now that the opponent's one-turn summon has been used up, Soga himself has a high-level subordinate with an attack power of 1900, so the situation is still very favorable for him.
"The effect of 'Abyss Soldier', once per turn, by discarding a Water monster from your hand, return a card on the field to the owner's hand!"

Soga: “!”

It's actually the effect of removing the class with a bullet?
In this way, if the "Dark Mad Dog" on your side is bounced away, then you will be attacked by the Abyss Soldiers in the face, losing a lot of health in one go.

But it doesn't matter.

Soga glanced at Gaika in the backcourt from the corner of his eye.

The Gaifuka he set up is "Universal Mine - Broadsword", a powerful trap that can destroy the opponent's highest ATK monster on the field when the opponent's monster attacks.

Destroy monsters with the counter attack of traps, and then you can counterattack in one go in the next turn to expand your advantage
"By the effect of 'Abyss Soldier', discard the water attribute 'Killer Snake' from your hand, and return the continuous trap 'Royal Palace Suppression' on my field to your hand!"

Soga was shocked: "Bounce back your own card!?"

The next second he immediately figured out the connection.

When needed, use Suppression to suppress his special summon, and when the opponent wants to perform a special summon, he can use Abyss Soldier to recover himself.
Does that mean I'm the only one who can't be specially summoned?

Soga gradually began to realize the seriousness of the problem. But in fact, he still only realized part of it.

Then he saw You Xuan play another card in his hand.

"Magic Card - Resurrection of the Dead! You can revive monsters from your own or your opponent's graveyard to my field!"

Can revive monsters in both sides' graveyards
Masaka!?
Soga lost his composure: "What do you want to do!?"

"That's probably what you think."

You Xuan smiled.

"I resurrected the 'Artificial Man - Telekinesis' from your grave!"

Soga: "KISAMA (You bastard)!!!"
