Untouched!
The devastating attack by Dawn of Fallen Angel Lucifer, with overwhelming darkness surging from the Golden Cabinet, didn't even leave a scratch behind.
Judai murmured, "The will contained in this Golden Cabinet is that of Mr. Yugi..."
He didn't continue, but suddenly thought of his own Super Fusion. The card gained from the Overlord's sacrifice, wasn't it also a continuation of the Overlord's will?
"Moreover, the 'Tri-Color Tools' you just destroyed," Yugen said, "When this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can set a Continuous Trap 'Hidden City - Solid Fortress' from the deck to the field."
The Divine Incarnation snorted heavily.
"But what is the point if only this card remains?"
He said coldly.
"Everything else on your field has been buried by Lucifer, and next will be your demise!
I activate the other effect of 'Dawn of Fallen Angel Lucifer'!
Once per turn, during your Main Phase or your opponent's, pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon any Angel Race monster in Defense Position from the hand or graveyard!"
[Evil God, LP6600 → LP5600]
A dark glow shot from the Evil God's graveyard, accompanied by a flurry of blood-red feathers. This turn's newly departed Fallen Angel had already revived.
"Fallen Angel Subbia!"
[Fallen Angel Subbia, Defense Power 2400]
"Heh, just try stopping my Revive with that damned cabinet again!" taunted the Evil God.
Yugen said, "The Golden Cabinet of Light can return monsters Special Summoned from the graveyard back to the graveyard, but this effect can only be activated once per turn."
The Evil God snorted and said, "Fallen Angels revived by Lucifer's effect must return in Defense Position, but the effect of Subbia has also been triggered this instant!
When Fallen Angel Subbia is Special Summoned, it can Revive another Fallen Angel from the graveyard!
Return to the field, Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca!"
[Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca, Attack Power 2800]
In an instant, three major Fallen Angels descended!
Judai: "Although Yugen and the Golden Cabinet are formidable, the Evil God is indeed not easily dealt with..."
The successive attacks being neutralized only for him to quickly organize a counterattack; such relentless offense, such resilience...
It's no wonder he's considered one of the toughest Evil Gods. Judai thought that if he were to face this Evil God, it would surely be a fierce battle.
But indeed, Yugen's field has been cleared. While the remaining Golden Cabinet provides sustaining support for later rounds, the current situation is truly dangerous.
Still, Judai isn't worried.
Yugen will surely have a way.
"Perish!" shouted the Evil God angrily, "Dawn of Fallen Angel Lucifer, direct attack!"
Just as Lucifer's Great Sword swung down, in that crucial moment.
Yugen suddenly said to himself, "Now you should be somewhat useful, right?"
"How rude!"
A protesting voice shouted.
"I've always been totally useful, okay!?"
As he spoke, a large eye flew out, jumping into the field in front of Yugen.
Judai: "Ah! It's that Elf..."
But he remembered that this Elf seemed to have lost all its data...
But the next moment he saw, that eye started glowing... as if resonating with the Golden Cabinet on the field!
Right, it was said to be a guardian Elf. It had intentionally erased its own memory and information to hide the location of Sealed Land.
Does this card correlate with the Golden Cabinet too...
"Seal, release!"
"Ohhh—"
The eye shouted like a hot-blooded main character unleashing its full power, bathing in the golden glow of the Golden Cabinet, rapidly transforming into a solid state. Its aura was magnificent, its roar earth-shaking, as if releasing a long-suppressed immense power...
The light faded.
Everyone looked down, seeing this little fellow not even reaching a person's knee.
Despite its tiny size, it held its head high, exuding an aura as if there was no one else like it.
Judai hesitated, "You... are... Cotton Candy?"
Muto Yuugi's classic monster, Cotton Candy.
[Cotton Candy, Defense Power 500]
Little Cotton Candy stared back defiantly, huffed, "Who spread the rumor saying my Attack Power was only 0 back then!"
"Lies! Slander!"
"I clearly have 300 points!"
Everyone: "..."
Previously, Kaiba Group's test seemed to have suspected that this guy's Attack Power was 0, but at that time, the card's memory information was all lost, so it was just an approximation, a slight error was normal.
300 points of Attack Power is basically equivalent to nothing, close enough to 0 attack power...
No, or should say, if zero Attack Power is common for monsters, then those with two or three hundred are generally just weaklings.
Of course, this isn't absolute. Like Chestnut Ball family, noble and loyal, diligent since ancient times, many possessing Divine Cards, also merely have a two to three hundred Attack Power.
And Cotton Candy is a monster of similar nature.
"The effect of Cotton Candy." Yugen said, "During the opponent's turn, when 'Golden Cabinet of Light' exists on your field, you can Special Summon this card from the hand at any time."
The Evil God frowned, retorted coldly, "A mere weakling, you can only delay your demise by a moment.
Continue battling! Dawn of Fallen Angel Lucifer, smash this weakling!"
Lucifer's sword slashed out, striking fiercely upon the fluffy Cotton Candy. Where the sword struck the cotton, it indented deeply, yet quickly rebounded elastically, even forcing Lucifer's Great Sword back.
Evil God: "What?"
"Sorry," Yugen said, "but 'Cotton Candy' cannot be destroyed by battle."
After pausing, he smiled.
"Moreover, when Cotton Candy exists on the field, the opponent cannot choose other monsters as attack targets."
Hearing this, Judai couldn't help but take a deep breath, no longer daring to underestimate this seemingly harmless and humorous character.
Unable to be destroyed by battle, itself it's already quite troublesome. Plus the provocative effect where it forces attacks, it's simply an almost invulnerable shield full of mockery.
Right, and the card itself has the ability to jump out from the hand during the opponent's turn, making it truly a versatile hand trap...
Compared to traditional hand traps like Chestnut Ball that only block one attack, such performance is impressive!
The best course of action now is probably to rely on card effects to solve it...
As expected, next Evil God shouted: "Trickery!
Then I activate the effect of 'Fallen Angel Tezcatlipoca'! Pay 1000 Life Points to gain the effect of a Fallen Angel Magic Trap in the graveyard!
This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn, certainly even in the battle phase!"
[Evil God, LP5600 → LP4600]
"Activating the effect of the 'Fallen Angels of Sin' from the graveyard!" said the Evil God, "Fallen Angels of Sin requires sending a Fallen Angel from the hand or field to the graveyard as a cost to activate.
But through the Fallen Angel effect's direct copy, no cost, it can be activated directly!
Destroy any card on the field!"
The Evil God decreed.
"Destroy 'Cotton Candy'!"
