The Chapter get Retranslated
"My turn, draw!"
It was Gekko's turn again, and he adjusted his breathing for a moment.
Spell Canceller was truly unexpected, and it indeed single-handedly countered his Triple Tactics Talent. To Gekko, it was a rather troublesome monster.
If his Deck was built entirely around "Armament Reincarnation," encountering such a card might have led to its immediate collapse.
Of course, experts never put all their eggs in one strategic basket.
Within Gekko Tenma's Deck, other possibilities lay dormant.
"No wonder Seto Kaiba and Yako immediately noticed your uniqueness. I truly haven't encountered such a worthy opponent in a long time."
Gekko said with a serious expression.
"But I am still far from my limit!
I activate my Set card, Trap Card, 'Good Goblin Housekeeping'!"
He activated one of his Trap Cards in the back row.
"You can draw cards equal to the number of 'Good Goblin Housekeeping' in your Graveyard +1, then choose one card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your Deck."
At this time, Gekko had 0 "Good Goblin Housekeeping" in his Graveyard, meaning if he resolved the effect now, he would draw one card and then return one card from his hand to the bottom of his Deck.
"Then I chain the activation of a second card!" Gekko said, "Also a Trap Card, 'Good Goblin Housekeeping'!
But it's not over yet. I'll chain this card too!"
Gekko swiftly waved his hand, revealing another card.
"Quick-Play Spell - Emergency Provisions! Send any number of Spell/Trap Cards from your field to the Graveyard; you gain 1000 Life Points for each!"
He pointed to the two Trap Cards he had already activated on the field.
"I send two 'Good Goblin Housekeeping' to the Graveyard, and regain 2000 Life Points!"
[Gekko, LP 1000 → LP 3000]
Pro commentator Misawa, with his excellent professional acumen, immediately understood the essence of this combo: "Amazing! A Trap Card leaving the field does not affect effect resolution!
The later activated 'Emergency Provisions' sent the Good Goblin Housekeeping cards to the Graveyard before their effects resolved.
This way, when both 'Good Goblin Housekeeping' cards resolve their effects, there are already two Good Goblin Housekeeping cards in the Graveyard..."
Gekko Tenma: "Therefore, according to each 'Good Goblin Housekeeping' effect, I draw cards equal to the number of Good Goblin Housekeeping in the Graveyard +1, which is three cards!
A total of six cards drawn, then I choose two cards from my hand and return them to the bottom of my Deck!"
Gekko widely swung his arm, and six cards were drawn into his hand.
"He simultaneously replenished a large number of cards and recovered Life Points." Alexis Rhodes also had to express her admiration. "To skillfully utilize the Duel Rules like that..."
Misawa remained silent, secretly glancing at Yusaku Fujiki again.
He remembered Yusaku Fujiki saying that he had defeated Gekko's younger brother, Yako Tenma.
The more he realized how formidable his opponent was, the more he felt a chilling dread – could this guy really win against such an opponent?
"Spell Card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from your Deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
Gekko then picked out two cards from his hand and sent them to the Graveyard, but one of them quickly reappeared with a golden flash.
"One of the discarded cards is another 'Spirit of the Books'!" Gekko said. "When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can draw one card!" (Original card)
Gekko Tenma drew another card.
Then he smiled faintly.
"When Yako first told me, I found it unbelievable, but now I completely believe it. Yusaku, you are indeed a special duelist.
Just as Yako felt in his duel, in this duel, I also feel that impulse to unleash my full power, to even surpass myself to defeat you."
He lightly closed his eyes and said.
"It truly is incredible. Even though it's our first meeting, it feels like facing a towering peak that I desperately want to overcome."
Misawa and Alexis Rhodes exchanged silent glances, both seeming to understand Gekko perfectly.
Indeed, they too, having dueled Yusaku, had similar feelings.
Dueling this guy, within a few turns, they would feel like they were hitting walls everywhere, and then look up in astonishment to realize they were facing a majestic, insurmountable peak.
Then they would involuntarily give their all, racking their brains to break through this peak.
Of course, in the end, they would lose.
Originally, they had all thought they were the only ones who felt this way.
Now, it seems even legendary duelists feel the same?
"You flatter me, Senior. I'm nothing special; I just duel to the best of my ability." Yusaku Fujiki smiled politely. "I'm also learning and improving while dueling with you seniors."
"To the best of your ability, you say? Is that truly the case?" Gekko smiled mysteriously.
But he didn't continue, merely changing the subject.
"Then let me continue to confirm it. The effect of 'Angel 01' in my hand."
Gekko showed a card from his hand.
"'Angel 01' can be Special Summoned from the hand by revealing a Level 7 or higher monster in your hand to your opponent."
He said, slowly drawing another card from his hand and revealing it again.
"I reveal 'Angel 07', a Level 7 monster, from my hand, and Special Summon 'Angel 01'!"
[Angel 01, ATK 200]
Yusaku Fujiki looked at the Angel card Gekko revealed.
Angel 07, Gekko Tenma's ace monster in the original series.
He remembered this card. Although not widely used in the real card game, it often appeared in various lockdown strategies.
When the Advanced Summoned Angel 07 is on the field, all monsters cannot activate their effects.
Considering only its lockdown effect, it's a very powerful field-wide silence ability, even by modern standards.
Yusaku Fujiki frowned slightly.
It looks like something troublesome is about to appear.
"Then I Normal Summon a second 'Angel 01'!"
[Angel 01, ATK 200]
"The second effect of 'Angel 01'. While this Special Summoned card is on the field, once per turn, in addition to my Normal Summon, I can also Tribute Summon a Level 7 or higher monster.
So I will Tribute two 'Angel 01' monsters!
Guardian of steel wings, awaken now—"
The two small angels vanished simultaneously in a storm of sacrifice. Pure white armor reflected dazzling light, pure white halos and armor shone in harmony, and the incandescent light formed a sacred sanctuary.
"—'Angel 07', Summon!"
[Angel 07, ATK 2500]
The artificial angel descended, and the pure white sanctuary rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire field like a forbidden land of magic!
