Chapter 79: Synchron Light and God's Trial
Perhaps Zane Truesdale and Yami Marik would really like this talent.
However, Yu Miao felt this talent wouldn't really boost his strength, so the best choice was still Talent ③.
Synchron Light!!
First off, the Synchron Light talent has a connection with Yu Miao because it has a prerequisite: possessing the "Card Enthusiast's Soul" talent.
Coincidentally, Yu Miao naturally has the "Card Enthusiast's Soul" talent. One could say "Synchron Light" is practically tailor-made for him.
But there's also a problem.
To perform Synchro Summoning, you need Tuner monsters.
Currently, Yu Miao doesn't have a single one.
As for Synchro Monsters, he only has one: Crystron Quariongandrax!
Of course, Yu Miao could use unconventional methods to summon Crystron Quariongandrax, but Crystron Quariongandrax has a summoning restriction. If it's not properly Synchro Summoned, it has no effects.
So currently, Yu Miao not only lacks Tuner monsters, but also any powerful Synchro Monsters.
Even so, Yu Miao still chose the "Synchron Light" skill.
Because this talent has great potential. Not having the cards now doesn't mean Yu Miao won't have them later!!
By then, he might even pull off an "Accel Synchro" to amaze the duelists of the DM era.
Clear Mind, what was the line again?
Yu Miao actually forgot for a moment.
Besides the "Talent," the main attraction of the Phase 3 reward was, of course, the "Mystery Reward"!
This so-called mystery reward turned out to be unlocking a function...
The Mystery Shop!
On a weekly basis, the Mystery Shop will sell 2~5 powerful and rare cards.
Yu Miao also found this function next to the regular shop.
Clicking to enter.
A total of 3 cards were displayed inside.
The first one that caught his eye was... Kashtira Fenrir.
Holy crap, Fenrir!
Wolf God, activate!!
Fenrir, a legendary card, not to mention belonging to the Kashtira archetype.
A Special Summon method that doesn't start a chain. After entering the field, it can search for the next Fenrir, creating an endless cycle.
More importantly is that darn effect: When this card declares an attack, or when your opponent activates a monster effect: Target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; banish it face-down.
This is an effect typical of boss monsters, yet Fenrir achieves it effortlessly.
In the stinky meta of its time, it spawned the phrase: "Not playing Fenrir? Don't you want to win?"
"Is this for real? A single Fenrir costs 3800 Card Dust?" Yu Miao was shocked. The prices in this darn Mystery Shop were outrageous.
It should be called the Mystery Black Market instead!!
The next card was also a heavyweight.
Link Monster, Accesscode Talker!!
The ace monster that appeared in Yusaku Fujiki's final battle in the 6th series Yu-Gi-Oh!
This monster features easy summoning + strong OTK potential, along with the prestige of its effect: "Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card's effect activation."
Without a doubt, Accesscode Talker is strong.
Yu Miao had to admit that.
But Link Monsters aren't usable in this era, and this card is also expensive, requiring Card Dust to exchange for.
Yu Miao swiped away again.
Instead of being the sucker for the black market shop, maybe Yu Miao's next trigger of the "Card Enthusiast's Soul" talent will get it for free?
Yu Miao is part of the "Wait-and-See" faction!
As for the third card, Yu Miao was surprised because it was a Trap Card.
Transaction Rollback!!
Also a card from the 6th series protagonist, Yusaku Fujiki.
Its effect is extremely flexible, catching people off guard.
Exchanging for one Transaction Rollback doesn't require Card Dust, but it costs 5000 Gems!
Yu Miao hesitated for a few seconds before exchanging for this Transaction Rollback.
Firstly, the shop hadn't released new card packs or pre-built decks, so it was better to use the Gems quickly to strengthen himself.
The Gems didn't disappear; they just transformed into something else to accompany you.
It was the same now; the Gems transformed into a card to accompany Yu Miao.
[Congratulations on obtaining, Normal Trap Card "Transaction Rollback" UR*1]
Taking out this Transaction Rollback, Yu Miao looked at the card's effect and slowly fell into contemplation...
The night passed just like that.
"..."
The next day.
Yu Miao placed his already adjusted deck into the Duel Disk, waiting for noon to arrive.
The God's Trial would determine whether he could control a God Card.
For today's trial, Yu Miao didn't even open his shop.
Staring at the time on his watch, Yu Miao cleared his mind, deciding to face this challenge in his best state.
Although he didn't know what the God's Trial entailed, Yu Miao hoped it was a duel.
If it was a duel, he believed his chances were high.
No, no matter what, he absolutely would not lose this trial!
Panther Lady could tell Yu Miao was about to undertake something major, so she didn't speak to him at this time, instead quietly staying in a corner, waiting for his triumphant return.
"Time's up." Yu Miao muttered to himself.
[Prompt: Spend]
[Prompt: "..."]
Skipping the useless prompts, Yu Miao confirmed consuming Card Dust to transform into The Winged Dragon of Ra and enter the God's Trial!!
Boom~
Golden flames filled this world.
The scorching high temperature made the entire land feel like it was in a steamer. The air became thin and dry, causing physical discomfort.
Yu Miao seemed to have crossed space and time, arriving in such a place.
At this moment.
He stood as if on a special platform, about to perform a ritual of battle...
A massive pillar of fire soared into the sky!
A gigantic golden phoenix appeared before Yousei's eyes. As the golden flames slowly dissipated, the deity's form was finally fully revealed.
Yu Miao clearly saw his enemy...
Its body covered in golden feathers adorned with gold-red flame patterns. A hundred-meter-long figure blotted out the sky. A pair of blood-red eyes exuded coldness, cruelty, and bloodlust.
The Winged Dragon of Ra!!
Facing the deity's gaze, Yu Miao showed no trace of fear or panic despite his initial shock.
"Come on, Ra."
"Let me see how capable you are!!"
Yu Miao's expression showed no retreat. In today's trial, only one person would be left standing.
The duel is both a ritual and a war, a trial. Now, this trial has truly begun.
On this special platform, Yu Miao saw 8000 Life Points light up above Ra's head...
Seeing this, Yu Miao understood he needed to pass the trial through a duel.
It felt a bit like running a dungeon.
Duel*2!!
Yu Miao: 4000 LP
The Winged Dragon of Ra: 8000 LP
"My turn, draw." Yu Miao Normal Summoned Gemini Elf.
Ding~
The alluring twin sisters entered the field.
[Gemini Elf, 1900 ATK, Spellcaster]
"I tribute Gemini Elf to Special Summon my ace." Yu Miao didn't hesitate to tribute the twin sisters, allowing Silent Magician to enter the field.
Silver silent power erupted.
The top-tier magician entered with absolute posture, completely unaffected by the environment here.
[Silent Magician, 1000 ATK, Spellcaster]
"Set one card." Yu Miao chose to set a card even if it lowered Silent Magician's ATK.
Silent Magician's ATK increase depends on the number of cards in Yu Miao's hand * 500 points."
Yu Miao currently has 3 cards in hand.
[Silent Magician LV8: 1000 → 2500 ATK]
"I end my turn." Yu Miao said to Ra.
Ra's turn.
Whoosh~
Golden flames churned.
Six cards formed from flames appeared before It.
Yu Miao's expression turned grave. He began predicting Ra's moves.
This Ra could undoubtedly use its own card.
Yu Miao only needed to prevent the tribute fodder for three monsters to stop Ra from entering the field.
Unless this Ra had studied under Yami Marik, playing the "zombie" tactic of sending to GY + revival constantly, then that would be a different story.
Suddenly!
Yu Miao saw something unbelievable.
Golden flames surged on Ra's monster field.
Three monsters appeared out of thin air on the opponent's field.
[God's Servant, 2000 ATK] *3
Wow, Yu Miao took a deep breath.
This really felt like running a dungeon. Ra was the boss monster.
Even the tribute fodder appeared out of thin air, everything pre-planned.
Boom~
The three tributes began to burn around them.
Spirits sing, ancient power governs all things!!
Its life, its soul, even its bones.
When heaven and earth converge, the ritual to summon the Sun God begins.
At this moment, a shocking sound wave accompanied by flames piercing the sky spread in all directions.
The earth trembled, the surrounding ancient mountains crumbled...
At this moment, the deity entered the field directly as a monster card.
[The Winged Dragon of Ra, ? ATK, Divine-Beast]
Yu Miao felt an immense pressure rushing towards him, something not experienced from other monsters.
This isn't an ordinary monster but a Kami da!!
A genuine God Card.
Ra opened its mouth, uttering ancient Egyptian spirit language that couldn't be understood.
Perhaps due to the "God's Trial," these ancient words were automatically translated. Actually, Ra was explaining its effect.
"My ATK · DEF become the combined original ATK · DEF of the monsters Tributed for its Tribute Summon."
The ATK of the three servants is 2000 each.
So...
[The Winged Dragon of Ra: ? → 6000 ATK]
"6000 ATK, this is incredible."
"It far surpasses even Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon."
Yu Miao achieved his daily achievement of bullying Blue-Eyes.
Battle!!
Ra itself attacked Silent Magician on Yu Miao's field.
God is unaffected by Trap Card effects, opponent's Spell Cards last only one turn, does not accept effects from monsters below Level 10, and God Cards cannot be destroyed or banished by card effects except those targeting "DIVINE" attribute or "Divine-Beast" type monsters.
Boom
Unstoppable. Even Silent Magician couldn't withstand this divine might and flames.
In an instant, Silent Magician was engulfed.
After the golden flames dissipated, Yu Miao stood in place as if nothing happened.
Not only did his Life Points not decrease, they increased by 500.
A Trap Card slowly lit up beside Yu Miao.
