Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

Chapter 231 The Ark of Miracles

As Kaiba made his choice, the ground beneath the monster on his field cracked open again, swallowing up the body of the dark attribute [Vampire Lord].

Noticing Kaiba's confusing behavior, Jonouchi, who had always regarded him as his old enemy, suddenly showed a puzzled look in his eyes: "Why did Kaiba choose the dark attribute? If you really want to say it, the vampire lord's side Isn’t the attack power a bit higher?”

In Jonouchi's eyes, Kaiba's behavior was simply a deliberate act of dissent.

At this time, normal people would choose to keep the monster with higher attributes, but President Kaiba decided to make an alternative choice to show his unique personality.

That's all in normal times, but now he's fighting with everyone's freedom on the line!

Does this situation really not matter?

"Inside the city, don't jump to conclusions yet."

Glancing at Jonouchi who was looking strangely beside him, Yu Ling adjusted the "Faceless Man" mask on his face out of habit, and reminded him: "You forgot the effect of [Vampire Lord] that Kaiba just explained. ?"

"Uh...monster's effect?"

After hearing Yu Ling's reminder, Jonouchi was slightly stunned.

After recalling the effect of that monster, Jonouchi's face turned to reveal a look of realization: "Ah... So that's it! Kaiba deliberately chose that card with the purpose of resurrecting it in the next turn. ah!"

As an undead monster, [Vampire Lord] can resurrect itself to the field with a delay of one turn if it is destroyed by the opponent's effect.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Kaiba made his decision among the two options just now.

He only needs to wait patiently for one turn, and he can pull out [Vampire Lord] from the graveyard again. In this way, he also avoids the effect of the trap card [Crust Change].

"Haha... A mediocre person is a mediocre person. You have to be reminded by others to understand my intentions! In the end, within the city, that's all you can do."

"What?! Kaiba, you bastard, do you have the guts to say it again?"

"...Huh↑↓I'm too lazy to care."

Glancing at Yu Rei, who was watching the battle, and Jonouchi, who was easily aroused by his words, Kaiba returned his attention to the duel in front of him, and ordered further attacks on the surviving monsters on the field. Command: "Fight! I use [Newt] (Attack Power: 1900) to attack [Warrior Ares] (Attack Power: 1800)... Take my move, Gravity Punch!"

The humanoid demon raised his fist as big as a sandbag, and after receiving the command from Kaiba, he immediately used a straight punch belt to speed up the sprint, and drove away the monsters on Naia's field.

When the monster was destroyed, Naia also received 100 points of damage simultaneously.

However, this scraping-like injury could not make any change in his expression.

Kaiba Naia: "...Hmph!"

(Kaiba Naia LP: 3300→3200)

"One advances and the other retreats without giving in to each other. The duel between these two people is simply carved out of the same mold."

His eyes switched back and forth between the two people dueling on the field. Looking at the small watch of this "family civil war", he couldn't help but sigh: "Naia and Kaiba-kun, their duel was all in one breath. A battle type that summons powerful monsters. In such a duel atmosphere, if you show timidity, you will soon face the fate of defeat..."

"Heh... my turn, draw a card!"

Pulling out a new card from the top of the deck, Naia's eyes swept across the audience. He singled out a card in his hand and held it up in front of him: "When evil appears on the earth, When the earth was empty, God used floods to cleanse everything on the earth, and now is the time when great cleansing is needed!”

"Go! I activate the magic card from my hand - [Great Flood]. According to the effect of this card, all monsters in both sides' hands and on the field will be sent to the graveyard!"

"……what?!"

Just like in the literal sense, huge waves poured down from the top of the sky as the magic card was activated, quickly submerging all the desolate ground where everyone was standing.

Except for the area where everyone was standing, other places were submerged by a large amount of floods and no longer looked as desolate as before.

At this moment, not only [Newt] on the seahorse field, but also the [Vampire Lord] in his graveyard were drawn into the depths of the whirlpool generated by the flood.

"My monsters...what the hell is going on?"

Although the effect of the magic card [Great Flood] is to "send to the grave", no matter how you look at it, the current scene is more like "except".

After all, not only [Newt] who originally existed on the field, but also the [Vampire Lord] located in the Kaiba Cemetery, was also affected by the flood.

"Hey... don't be surprised. At the moment when the magic card is activated, the effect of my deck leader has also been activated!"

"What? You mean the deck leader?"

"...That's right!"

Under President Kaiba's surprised gaze, Naia raised his arm towards the top of his head with a proud look on his face: "Come out! My deck leader - 'Ark of Miracles'!!!"

A huge wooden boat, like Noah's Ark in mythology, appeared from under the flood-ravaged earth and appeared behind Naia in a suspended posture.

Looking at the huge ark floating above his head, a look of shock flashed through Kaiba's eyes: "The Ark of Miracles...is this Naia's deck leader?!"

This giant thing is...a monster?

What are you teasing me?

"Hehehe...Seto, from now on, this is the prelude to this 'duel of the creation of heaven and earth'!"

Seeing with satisfaction the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, including Kaiba, Naia immediately explained the current situation: "One of the effects of the deck leader 'Ark of Miracles' - [Containment Capacity], It has been activated just now.”

"Containment capacity?"

"Well, according to the effect of the deck leader, the cards in the graveyard and the cards that will be sent to the graveyard will be collected by the ark behind me... In this way, Seto, you plan to let the undead monsters The plan of infinite resurrection has officially been declared bankrupt."

As Naia's words fell, the huge wooden ark slowly landed on the flood-ravaged ground.While opening the cabin door, the ark exerted a huge attraction and sucked in the monsters in the graveyards of both sides.

Including [Newt], who was destroyed by the [Great Flood] just now, is also included in this and has become a member of the Ark World.

Seto Kaiba: "..."

Naia: "Seto, then you should witness it with your own eyes, witness the 'seven rounds of creation of heaven and earth'!"

"Seven rounds of creation of heaven and earth?"

Thinking about the key information contained in Naiya's words, Yu Ling, who was watching the battle with his family and friends, raised his eyebrows slightly: "This means that something terrible will happen after seven rounds. ?"

"Hmph! What seven rounds of creation of heaven and earth!"

Expressing his disdain for Naia's cup-filling declaration, Kaiba raised his head high and responded without hesitation: "Such a little trick won't work on me, Seto Kaiba!"

"...Naia, the magic card [Great Flood] you just activated is a card that sends the cards in both sides' hands and the monsters on the field to the graveyard at the same time. Although these monsters are now contained by the so-called Ark, but This means that you also lost all your monsters!"

Stretching out the fingers of his right hand towards Naia, President Kaiba declared to him with a firm tone: "Naia, your field is now empty! Look at what I can do before the seven rounds arrive. , I will knock you down quickly!"

(Kaiba Naia LP: 3200)

(Seto Kaiba LP: 1400)

Because of the big flood just now, at this point in time, neither side has any monsters in their hands or on the field.

Next, whoever draws the new monster card first will undoubtedly have a greater advantage.

Naia, who activated the magic card, ended his turn directly, and next, it was President Kaiba's turn.

"My turn, draw cards!"

Kaiba swung the hem of his white windbreaker behind him and pulled out a brand new card from the deck in a fashionable gesture. After glancing at the card in his hand, he slapped it hard on the duel plate. : "It seems that the goddess of victory is still on my side! At the moment of entering the main stage 1, I directly summon [Lance Dragon] from my hand (Dragon/Wind/4 stars/Attack: 1900/Defense Strength: 0)! And use it to launch a direct attack on the opponent!"

The blue flying dragon with a mouth like a sharp spear emerged from the light in response to Kaiba's movements and appeared in front of him.

Aiming in the direction of Naia, who was empty on the opposite field, the Spear Dragon let out a long dragon roar from its mouth, then flapped its wings and sprinted towards Naia's location.

If the monster's attack goes through smoothly this time, it will cause 1900 points of huge damage to Naia.

"Huh... It seems that I have been underestimated by you, Seto. You don't really think that... an attack of this level can directly touch me, do you?"

"what?"

Facing the attack of President Kaiba's monster, Naia smiled softly, and then suddenly raised his arm: "At this moment, I activated the second effect of the deck leader 'Ark of Miracles' , come out! Those who are chosen by the Ark!"

"The deck leader actually has multiple effects? No! Compared to this..."

Shocked by Naia's unexpected declaration, Kaiba launched an attack, and then saw the monster that suddenly appeared on Naia's field from inside the cabin with light.

That is, the undead monster that belonged to Seto Kaiba and was previously taken into the Ark - [Vampire Lord] (Defense: 1500)!
At the moment when Kaiba launched an attack on Naia himself, this monster jumped out of the ark and blocked the attack path of [Lance Dragon] in a defensive position, forcing it to interrupt its previous attack. The act of direct aggression.

"…Vampire Lord?"

"The second effect of the deck leader 'Ark of Miracles' is called [Absolute Defense]!"

Pointing to the human shield monster that appeared in front of him, Naia smiled proudly and said: "When the battle phase comes, I can randomly place the monsters in the Ark in defense position according to the number of monsters on the opponent's field. Land is Special Summoned to my field.”

"What? If that's the case, then there will definitely be the same number of monsters on Naia's field as there are on Kaiba's field. Isn't this an overwhelming disadvantage to Kaiba?"

Listening to Naia's explanation, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the faces of everyone watching.

It doesn’t matter if a deck leader has multiple effects. Each one is more perverted than the other. If you can’t beat it, you’ll blatantly cheat, right?
It’s really yours, Naia!

"Tsk...what a wicked effect!"

The expression on Kaiba's face, which was taken away by the monster, would not look good.

After smacking his lips slightly irritably, Kaiba continued to issue attack instructions to the monsters on the field: "The battle continues, [Lance Dragon] continues to attack [Vampire Lord]!"

[Lance Dragon] has the effect of inflicting defense-piercing damage to the opponent, so even if [Vampire Lord] is in defense position, Naia will still receive 400 points of damage equal to the attribute difference between the two monsters.

(Kaiba Naia LP: 3200→2800)

Although the damage was not high, the attack just now did cause damage to Naia.

After launching the attack, [Lance Dragon] turned into defense position (defense power: 0) due to its own negative effects after the battle.

"The next step is the second round of creation of heaven and earth."

Taking over the initiative of the turn, Naia waved her hand with a relaxed expression and pulled out the card at the top of the deck.

As he drew cards, the huge ark floated into the sky simultaneously, and the flood that originally submerged the ground began to gradually recede, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The tide receded, everything revived, and green vegetation began to appear on the earth.

As the rounds go by, the world has also leapt from the flood age to the age of dinosaurs.

"As you can see, the world where everything flows has entered the Triassic period when dinosaurs lived. In the first era of the Mesozoic Era, what will appear next will naturally be in line with this environment. monster."

Naia, who shrugged his shoulders and said this, placed the monster card he just drew on the deck of the duel plate: "I summon the [Giant Spinosaurus] in my hand in attack position. (Dinosaur clan/Earth/4 stars/Attack power: 2000/Defense power: 1200).”
