Chapter 356 The Joy of the Apostles
When France heard this idea at first, he was a little hesitant, but after You Xuan continued to give him guidance and expand his thinking, his eyes soon lit up and he gradually became excited.
In addition to the "Other Forms of Pterosaur" card, You Xuan also proposed a series of auxiliary cards with powers similar to those of gods, as well as some auxiliary cards that can facilitate the retrieval and dispatch of gods.
In fact, they have developed related cards before, such as the exclusive related card "Apostle of the Sun God" used by France to summon the Pteranodon in the animation.
This card has also been made into a real card, but it is quite different from the one in the animation.
In the animation, the effect of "Apostle of the Sun God" is that when it is successfully summoned, two other cards with the same name can be added to the hand from the deck.
After being made into a real card, this part of the effect has been upgraded. When an Apostle is successfully summoned, not only can two cards with the same name be retrieved from the deck, but it can even be directly special summoned from the deck to the field. One card can directly make up the three sacrifices for the summoning god.
However, the seemingly powerful effect has a rather annoying self-restraint added to it. That is, as long as the Apostle exists in the Monster Zone, its controller cannot perform any form of Special Summoning other than the Apostle's effect.
This serious self-restraint basically makes Shika's Apostle of the Sun God lose most of his usefulness, and he has basically no room to appear.
Compared to the past environment, the animation effect is very powerful. As long as the summon is successful, two cards can be added to the hand out of thin air. This kind of violent resource-earning performance is very rare in the long-term Yu-Gi-Oh environment.
"To be honest, I think the 'Apostle of the Sun God' that you developed has great potential." You Xuan said seriously, "If possible, can you also give one to our laboratory for research?"
“Yes, yes”
Francie felt a little strange.
"But this card was originally designed for quickly summoning Winged Dragon. Now the problem of summoning the Phantom God has not been solved, what's the point of having this?"
You Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Well, although this card is a derivative card designed for Pteranodon, I think it may have some unexpected potential."
Although the real card Apostle of the Sun God has almost no place in serious tactics due to his severe self-discipline, the vast majority of newspaper players with unique ideas have discovered the potential of this card.
"As long as this card has a controller in the Monster Zone, it cannot be Special Summoned." Such a painful self-discipline basically eliminates the opportunity for this card to play a role in your own tactics.
But the people in the underworld with their unique thinking soon thought, what if I give this thing to the opponent, the opponent will never be able to special summon, wouldn’t that be very happy?
So, a derivative card that was clearly prepared for summoning gods was forcibly used to create the hell school of apostle blocking. The idea is to use various means to send this apostle to the opponent's field, so that the opponent can only stare at this apostle helplessly and rage and can do nothing.
Not being able to Special Summon means that even in the future of Yu-Gi-Oh, you can't use him as material for Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Link, etc.
And you can't even sacrifice it for a Normal Summon, because the annoying Apostle Effect even adds a sentence, "This card cannot be sacrificed for anything other than a Superior Summon of Ra's Winged Dragon."
In other words, this apostle is still firm in his belief and only recognizes Pteranodon. In other situations, whether it is the effect of the card or the superior summon, he will not recognize it. He is simply a stubborn nail. Once he successfully inserts it into the opponent's field, the opponent's mentality will easily explode.
That's why we say that Pteranodon is the most underworld phantom god, regardless of the fact that the strongest phantom god in Duel City was held by the sunny boy Malik. Even the series of cannon fodder derived from it perfectly inherited the bloodline of the underworld.
"Okay." France agreed readily.
You Xuan is now quite famous in the field of card making, and many teams hope to get in touch with him to get some inspiration and guidance. Besides, the Apostle of the Sun God is just an ordinary four-star monster. Apart from the gimmick of "Special to the Sun God" which can increase his value, it actually has no value.
So France was generous and simply said that he would give You Xuan all three pictures for research when he returned.
You Xuan was also very satisfied. He gained quite a lot from meeting the chief designer of the Pterosaur team this time.
Even if I couldn't figure out the correct way to control the phantom god in the end, even if I only got the bird egg of the Winged Dragon and a traitor apostle, it would be pretty good.
These two cards should be enough to let the opponent feel what the strongest phantom god is.
When I saw Keiping again, he was talking to someone on the phone enthusiastically. His tone was quite excited and it sounded like they were arguing about something.
He hung up the phone, turned around and saw You Xuan, and let out a long breath. "It's really a headache, there's no end to it."
"About the competition?" You Xuan asked.
"Yes. Such a huge disaster occurred during the Duel City, and it seems that many people were injured. Fortunately, there are no deaths for the time being.
But it’s already a headache. Some people are already pressuring to end this Duel City Competition, saying it’s too dangerous to continue.”
"Well, it should continue, right?"
"That's natural." Keiping said as a matter of course.
After all, it was a card-playing tournament organized by the president, and the president would not allow it to be abandoned halfway through.
"It's just that I'm a bit busy these two days, and my brother is forced to go back to meet the board of directors. So speaking of this, I have something to ask of you."
Keipi said, hesitating.
“But I don’t know if it’s appropriate.”
"It's okay, just tell me."
You Xuan waved his hand, indicating that since we are so familiar with each other, there is nothing we can't talk about.
"Well, it's that guy named Luca, the new Doma swordsman. After fighting with my brother, we were concerned about him, so we sent someone to investigate.
Although there is no clear progress, the clues point to a small town. A place called Qingshui Town, have you heard of it?"
You Xuan shook his head: "No. Is there anything special there?"
"That's the problem. We don't know what's special there. But if the clues are reliable, the Doma swordsman really went there, and at this critical moment."
"What do you think is there?" You Xuan understood.
"No, I can't say that definitively yet. It's just a guess."
You Xuan nodded: "You need someone to go there to investigate. But if it's just to confirm, you shouldn't be short of manpower."
"Yes, but for some reason, I want to send a strong duelist to be on the safe side. Because..."
Keiping hesitated for a moment and said.
"To be honest, there was actually a duelist we were quite familiar with nearby. If it was him, there shouldn't be anything to worry about in terms of strength. When I first noticed this town, I tried to contact him.
But I don’t know why I still can’t get in touch with him, I have a bad feeling.”
"Oh? Which boss is it? Do I know him?"
"You may not know him, but you must have heard of his name." Keipi said, "He is Katsuya Jonouchi who made it to the top four in the first Duel City."
