NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 130
130
Up until now, I had only fought mortals like me, but this time I was fighting something special.
The opponent is the God of Creation, who is called the father of cards.
It was a duel with a god with overwhelming power.
“Master, your hands are shaking.”
“Huh? “I see.”
“Are you that nervous?”
“That’s because it’s a duel with God. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous…….”
I took a deep breath and then exhaled a long time.
I stabilized my breathing and said the words I couldn’t say.
“I have a feeling we won’t lose.”
“Is that really true?”
“Yes. Even though the opponent has a dual ability that is close to cheating, it does not mean that there are no loopholes.”
“If the master says so, then so be it. “I will trust and follow my master’s judgment.”
“Thank you.”
He smiled happily, but then slowly changed to a solemn expression and looked at the God of Creation.
He looked indifferent as he waited for the conversation between me and Finesse.
As he is an immortal who has lived for an infinite amount of time, his emotions seem to have become dull.
“Once my mind is ready, I will begin the fateful coin toss.”
When I nodded, a coin larger than usual appeared in the air.
Before flipping, we had to match the surface that would be exposed, so the Creator and I parted our lips at the same time.
“I’ll pick heads.”
“I’ll do it on the back.”
Ting-!
A coin spinning round and round in the air, making a clear sound as soon as the sentence is finished.
When it eventually fell to the floor, it was face up.
“Let’s go first.”
“Good.”
I wondered if he had the ability to manipulate coins, similar to change of mind.
However, the coin toss was decided as my victory.
It appears that the creator god was not omnipotent and omnipotent.
But this is not an opponent to be taken lightly. Because it was an opponent with more power than the coin toss operation.
“First, Normal Summon ‘Fineris, Creed of the Beginning’ from your hand.”
[The Creed of the Beginning, Pires]
Level: 4 / Attribute: Flame (炎) / Race: Flying Beast
Attack / Defense: 1800 / 1000
The ⑴ effect of this card name can only be activated once per turn.
⑴: Can be activated when this card is successfully Normal/Special Summoned. You can take one magic card with the name ‘Combined’ from your deck.
⑵: This card can be played once per turn and cannot be destroyed by battle or effects.
A small spark appeared on the card, and a small black-haired girl appeared within it.
It was a monster that I thought would be like this if Finesse had a daughter….
“Jjuyin! “You’re still a great dueler, starting with me from your first loss!”
“That’s because I put in 3 cards.”
“But isn’t 3 in 40 a lower probability than you think?”
Unfortunately, Finesse himself had reduced his power to the minimum, so he only became smaller.
Still, the effect was as powerful as ever, so I brought the magic card needed for the combined summon.
The ability to bring about a wide range of deck combinations, including ‘named combinations’, which are the standard for deck combinations, as well as ‘ultimate combinations’ that cannot be chained.
If the effect passed safely, all kinds of developments could begin after that, but there was no way the opponent would just sit there and watch.
“When Pires’ effect is activated?”
“I will discard ‘Refreshing Spring’ from my hand and activate its effect.”
“Then I will counter with ‘Dimension Designator’.”
“In response to the designator, ‘Jeokwan Lady’ is activated.”
“What would you do if we used one more ‘Designator of Dimensions’ and excluded ‘Jeoguan Lady’?”
“…… “I will completely nullify Pires’ effect with the trap card ‘Endless Bubble’ from my hand.”
A chain of as many as six pieces.
As expected, there were no cards in the opponent’s hand.
After I made my reservation at the refreshing spring counter, the young lady came out from the counter.
When we tried to cut off even the young lady as a designated person, we ended up being mobilized to ‘endless bubbles’.
In the end, Pires, who was supposed to take a card from the deck, remained in his place.
“I’m sorry for not being able to help you!”
“It’s okay. Because it is a situation that has already been assumed. And thanks to your effect, I can move on.”
The first loophole in the powers exclusive to the Creator God.
No matter how many necessary cards were created, it was impossible to avoid the limitation of only using them once per turn.
“I activate ‘Place Name Combination’ from my hand!”
I couldn’t bring it to Pires, but in fact, ‘Place Name Combination’ was in my hand from the beginning.
I just pretended not to exist and deceived the other person.
“Come on! “What do you plan to do now?”
“Um… ….”
The opponent’s ‘Refreshing Spring’ effect has already been used.
There are still cards that can block nomination mergers, but to use them, you have to be prepared to spend at least 2 cards in your hand.
It was a painful expense for the Creator God, who only used 3 out of 5 cards to block the effect of Pires.
No matter how much you can implement the card you want, you cannot exercise your power without the card.
This was the second loophole.
“Are you going to stop it this time too?”
“…… “I won’t wear a chain.”
“Then, I will send the monsters that meet the conditions from the deck to the graveyard and special summon ‘Corrupted God Finesse’ from the extra deck!”
A distorted space was created next to Pires, and an elegant black-haired woman walked out of it.
It was the original finesse that I usually saw and felt.
“Whoa…” ! “Looking at it this way, my childhood self was really small.”
“Of course it is!”
“Umm… ….”
“Master? “Is there something wrong?”
“Where are you hurting?”
“It’s not that they’re different, they both have the same finesse, but the way they talk to each other is unique, so they’re talking to themselves, right?”
“But aren’t there a lot of cards like that besides us? “I understand that even deadlock monsters with modifiers such as ‘Triple’, ‘Emperor’, ‘Thunder’, and ‘V’ added to their original names ultimately have one personality.”
“I heard that there is a duelist in the world who not only changes his personality, but also his voice, eyes, and even height!”
“That’s right….”
After listening to what they said, it wasn’t that strange.
In fact, it felt like the finesse had a mild taste.
“Well, anyway, since I succeeded in summoning Finesse, I will set one card and end my turn.”
“My turn, I will draw a card.”
With this draw, the opponent has 3 cards.
In a world where the full story can be shown with just one card, what kind of deck will he show?
I was so nervous that my mouth felt dry.
“I discard a monster card from my hand and activate ‘Light Emperor Silence Wave.'”
Is this the beginning? In order to prepare for the future situation, including Finesse, the Creator did not hesitate to consume two cards.
However, the card he used as a cost is definitely not an ordinary monster.
If the hand were to change according to the Creator’s taste, there was a high possibility that it would be a monster whose effect would be activated when sent to the graveyard.
“I will take a magic card with the name ‘Grief’ from the deck due to the effect of ‘Nereid, Mermaid of Sorrow’ sent to the graveyard.”
“I never thought I would actually use that theme. “It looks like he’s very determined to take me down.”
‘Mermaid of Sorrow’ is a theme that is said to be the strongest in the current meta.
To put it mildly, only duelists who adopted the ‘Mermaid of Sorrow’ could be seen at the world duel competition venues, so there was no need to explain its strength in words.
“From the moment I declared that I would not show you mercy, I will do nothing but defeat you with all my might. “I will activate ‘Cross of Sorrow’ from my hand.”
[Crossing of sorrow]
General magic
Send 5 cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard and activate. Randomly excludes 3 cards in the graveyard and then draws 1 card.
Effect of drawing 1 card after dumping.
It may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but the impact is significant.
If you think of the ‘Mermaid of Sorrow’ theme that mainly uses graveyard resources, the benefits you can get from discarding 5 cards from the deck are endless.
“Discard 5 cards from the deck and exclude 3. Next, I will return 2 cards from the graveyard to the deck using the effect of ‘Naiad, Mermaid of Sorrow’, which went to the graveyard, and then merge summon ‘Argira, Mermaid of Sorrow’ from the Extra Deck.”
[Argira, Mermaid of Sorrow]
Level: 5 / Attribute: Water, Dark (水,暗) / Race: Water
Attack / Defense: 2200 / 1000
‘Mermaid of Sorrow’ monster + Water or Dark attribute monster
Each effect of this card name can be used only once per turn.
⑴: Can be activated when this card is successfully special summoned. Add 1 ‘Grief’ card from the deck to your hand.
⑵: Can be activated when this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard. Send 6 cards from the deck to the graveyard and randomly exclude 2 cards.
“With Argira’s successful summoning, I will take 1 grief card from the deck.”
“Then, at that moment, I will activate the effect of the quick attack magic ‘Ultimate Combination’ that I have set! “I combine the Argira on your field with the Finesse on my field!”
Third loophole.
Even if the card changes according to the situation, it cannot respond to cards that cannot be chained, such as ‘Ultimate Combination’.
The activation cost is that high, but my life is fixed at 4000 until the end phase due to the ‘Light Emperor Silence Wave’ activated by the opponent anyway.
“The monster I will summon is ‘Brutal Poison Dragon’!”
“The ultimate combination…. “One of the strongest cards I’ve made.”
“Do you feel a bit of a headache after being directly attacked with a card you made? Huh?”
“It hurt like you said. But it doesn’t matter.”
The God of Creation who smiled and showed his emotions for the first time.
I got goosebumps when I saw the smiling mouth torn in two.
“I haven’t even Normal Summoned it yet, and one of the two remaining cards is the same as yours.”
“The same card as me… ? No way!”
“After Normal Summoning ‘Oceanid, the Mermaid of Sorrow’ brought by Argira’s effect, I will also activate ‘Ultimate Combination’ from my hand. The targets are designated as ‘Brutal Poison Dragon’ and Oceanid.”
I was laughing at the fact that the monsters on the opponent’s field were forced to merge. But after it was over, the monsters in my field were also being forcibly merged.
It was a sight that brought tears to my eyes as soon as I saw it.
