The Lack of Respect
Chapter 833 The Lack of Respect (5K)
"It's my turn."
GOD Zero reached out, touched the deck on the Duel Disk, and then slowly drew a card.
His movements were very slow, each step was cautious, and even his limbs were slightly uncoordinated. He only needed to reach out his right hand to grab it, but he nervously stretched his left hand forward. This caused his entire right arm to involuntarily move forward in order to allow his right hand to pull out the card smoothly. As a result, he slowly hunched over, looking like a boiled shrimp, which looked very strange and funny.
"Pick the card."
He carefully drew a card, seemingly excited, and looked at the card in his hand, appearing very satisfied with his first card draw.
After completing this action, this being, which had tamed its limbs, finally focused its attention on the field.
"Um……"
He looked at the card in his hand.
Although I haven't used this deck before, it doesn't matter as long as it's a pendulum card.
More attention should be paid to Amagi Hikaru's performance.
If Super Thunder Dragon is on the field, the opponent cannot add cards from the deck to their hand by means other than drawing cards.
He looked at a card in his hand.
In other words, this card is no longer valid.
The most important thing to deal with this situation is to eliminate the Super Thunder Dragon.
but.
When the Super Thunder Dragon is destroyed, you can banish a Thunder-type monster from the graveyard instead of destroying it.
Therefore, the best option is to first find the situation ineffective, and then proceed with the duel according to the established pace.
He turned his attention to another monster.
Before that, the Destiny Hero Phoenix could destroy two cards on the field at any time. That card was obtained by Amagi Hikaru during his duel with Saiou Takuma, who was controlled by the Light of Destruction. It possessed the purest power of "destruction and rebirth" and was a card symbolizing "rebirth".
As long as this card exists, I must avoid its destruction, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.
He quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind.
So, if that's the case...
The optimal solution should be like this.
"I used a 3-inch DD-type Fierce Dog to set the pendulum scale."
hum.
The blue number 3 flashed, and a crimson hound rose from beside GOD Zero, then slowly hovered in the air.
"You should be very familiar with this card, right?"
GOD Zero asked.
“DD Hound…” Serena, who had finished all the preparations and was just waiting for Akaba Reiji’s consciousness to connect, was finally able to stop and watch the duel. She looked at the cards on GOD Reiji’s field and immediately understood GOD’s idea.
DD Hound's effect is: You can target 1 Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster your opponent controls. Negate that monster's effects until the end of the turn.
Do you want to use an invalid one?
However—there is a "Phoenix Man" on Master's field!
"Activate the effect of DD Hound once per turn: Target 1 Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster your opponent controls. Negate that monster's effects until the end of the turn. After that, destroy this card in your Pendulum Zone."
"Activate the effect of destroying Phoenix Man." Amagi Hikaru raised his hand and pointed to the Super Thunder Dragon on his field. Then, he made an arc with his right hand and pointed to DD Hound. "Once per turn, destroy 1 card on your field and 1 card on the field."
The destruction of objects is not retrieved.
"—Amagi Hikaru, your name as a Phoenix might not be very well-known in the human world."
After all, you rarely use this symbolic fusion monster to duel other duelists.
However, the name of the Phoenix Destroyer is renowned among us "transcendent" beings.
So, I had already thought of this.
Let me show you my power.
He extended his right index finger, then raised it upwards, abandoning direct control of the physical body and instead beginning to control the card itself.
He manipulated a card and then flew it out of his hand: "Quick-Play Spell Card, Pendulum Delay!"
Pendulum Cards!
And it's a magic card with a pendulum effect!
Serena, who was standing nearby, was startled.
As she was surprised, a giant pendulum appeared in the sky.
It was a pendulum unlike any she had ever seen before—no—
This is a real "pendulum"!
A clock pendulum, a clock pendulum completely different from the pendant Yuya used, appeared in this duel arena!
"Spell Card, Pendulum Delay: This turn, neither your nor your opponent's Pendulum cards can be destroyed by your opponent's effects, and effects activated by your opponent targeting cards in the Pendulum Zone are negated."
“Hmm…” Serena frowned upon hearing this, “You have such a card, yet you’re not in a hurry to activate it first…”
It was a strategy to force out the full effect of the master's Phoenix Man.
but……
If it were her, she would definitely activate this quick attack first, and then set the pendulum scale.
Of course.
If this guy really manages to chain together, he'll make a lot of money, tricking his master into using a sabotage skill out of thin air.
Will things really go that smoothly?
"Heh, I activate the effect of Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon from my hand."
?
Should we activate this card at this moment?
"Thunder Dragon's effect: During your turn or your opponent's turn, you can discard this card, then target 1 Thunder-Type monster you control; that monster gains 500 ATK."
I choose Thor Dragon - Thunder Dragon.
GOD Zero was puzzled.
He didn't believe that Amagi Hikaru would waste this effect out of thin air.
"At this moment, the effect of Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon activates. Thunder-Type monster effects can only be activated when a card is activated from the hand. Destroy 1 card on the field."
! !
Infinite destruction!?
I see--
It really is a powerful effect!
Lei Yuanlong flew out from the thunderclouds, transformed into a golden ball of electricity, and merged into Lei Shenlong.
Unrestricted card bombing without targeting anyone... Amazing.
However, that effect seems to be stronger when used during your own turn.
If it is his turn, Amagi Kodai can use the characteristics of the Thunder Dragons to repeatedly destroy the opponent's cards.
During the opponent's turn, Hikaru Amagi has very few Thunder-type monsters available.
As GOD Zero thought this, he watched as the three-headed thunder dragon and lightning on Amagi Light Field destroyed the hounds on his field.
thump—
thump—
The pendulum delay effect is activated.
At this point, since Phoenix has already activated its effect, Amagi Hikaru must destroy one of his cards and one of the cards on the field, regardless of the circumstances.
“I destroy Super Thunder Dragon Thunder Dragon and your Pendulum Delay.” Hikaru Amagi picked up a card from the Graveyard. “Super Thunder Dragon can banish a Thunder-Type monster from the Graveyard instead of destroying it. I banish Thunder Dragon Thunder Dragon from the Graveyard.”
"Based on the effect of Thunder Dragon Thunder Dragon - it can only be activated if it is banished or sent from the field to the graveyard. Add 1 Thunder Dragon other than Thunder Dragon Thunder Dragon from the Deck to your hand, I add Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon to my hand."
Not only did it disrupt its own pendulum, but it also re-searched for monsters to aid in its deployment?
GOD Zero looked at the card in his hand. As he completely stopped pretending to be human, the card in his hand was already floating in the air.
In this way, he only needs to adapt to the human body a little bit, and the duel will not be affected.
The Thunder Beast Dragon's effect is to recycle Thunder Dragons, which seems to indicate that they plan to recycle Thunder Bird Dragons for reuse.
GOD Zero looked to the left of the card in her hand.
However, as long as the card is approved, it doesn't matter.
The problem is, before that...
He clicked his tongue.
Super Thunder Dragon, Super Thunder Dragon.
"I originally intended to save it for another purpose, to get rid of that troublesome Fate Hero and destroy the Phoenix."
"So... this is the only card we can use?"
GOD Zero held up a card in her hand: "Monster Card, Old Man Satan."
“Old Man Satan…” Serena was naturally very familiar with this card. “It can release your opponent’s monsters and Special Summon monsters in Defense Position to your opponent’s field.”
"When you calculate it this way, it doesn't seem like it's worth it."
GOD Zero thought the same thing.
If Amagi Hikaru cannot destroy his DD Hound when he activates Pendulum Delay, then he can save the Satanic card in his hand and directly release the Destroyer Phoenix. In this way, the Destroyer Phoenix's ability to resurrect infinitely will be dealt with.
Alternatively, if he activates Pendulum Delay first, and then places DD Hound on the scale, it will be different.
That way, he can first nullify the effects of the Super Thunder Dragon, and then unleash the Destiny Hero to destroy the Phoenix.
Although that would mean facing the Thunder Dragon, which still had one more destruction ability left, compared to the Phoenix Man, who symbolized "rebirth," the effect of eating the Thunder Dragon once was nothing. "I unleash Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon."
On your field, Special Summon: Old Man Satan.
The Thunder Dragon, hidden in the thundercloud, gradually began to glow. It slowly rose upwards, and after a short while, it finally transformed into a demon with a pair of wings carrying a gift box.
Old Man Satan, Level 6, Light Attribute, Demon Race, Defense 2500.
"This way, I can add cards from the deck to my hand by any means."
GOD Zero seemed to be influenced by the soul, instinctively pushing up her glasses, even though she hadn't actually done it, her body had already moved.
"Normal Summon: DD Sage Kepler."
DD Sage Kepler, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 0.
"Sigh, it's still because this guy got to use it..." Serena said with some regret.
The Super Thunder Dragon's suppressive power is extremely strong, but I didn't expect this guy to be able to hold on.
The two instances of sabotage and retrieval suppression can make the game extremely unpleasant in most situations. In fact, even if GOD Zero successfully overcomes Amagi Hikari's blockade, he is not very comfortable.
However, upon hearing Serena's voice, he wasn't in a hurry to continue the duel, but instead glanced at her.
Eve.
“Your temperament is far removed from Darkness.” Seeing that GOD Zero wasn’t in a hurry to act, Amagi asked, “Although you possess the divinity of the end, you seem obsessed with destruction… Why do you do these things?”
"What is the purpose of interfering with human choices?!"
Hikaru Amagi went straight to the core issue.
"The purpose..."
GOD seemed surprised that Hikaru Amagi would ask that question.
But then He thought about it again and realized it made perfect sense.
A duel is a clash of souls.
In the past, even against someone he absolutely hated, Akama Rei, Amagi Hikaru would never shut up and attack without warning.
Because a duel is a clash of souls, a ritual of the soul, the more intense the state of the duel, the stronger the content of the duel will become.
"To fulfill my mission, to prove the possibilities of humanity, to realize my divine right, and for a just death and destruction..."
Serena's brows furrowed.
"If saying these things will make you feel better, then just think of it this way."
"But to be honest, Hikaru Amagi, after seeing the Light of Destruction and Darkness, and after helping Yusei Fudo and ZONE, you should have seen many such beings."
A great belief, immense power, or simply proof or verification. Even darkness, with its relentless, unwavering resolve.
These things, while not exactly tiresome for you, certainly don't want to repeat the same mistakes with an opponent like this again.
GOD Zero raised her hand and shook it slightly, causing the giant pendulum suspended in the sky to begin to sway gently.
“I and you are completely different beings.”
“I was born in the future, walk in the present, and awaken in the past, but these are merely the limitations of my physical body.”
GOD Zero looked at Amagi Hikaru with his mechanical eyes: "The darkness you have overcome is the ultimate test of humanity, located at the end of humanity's destruction."
But I am different.
I have no enmity with you.
This is also the key.
Unlike the Light of Destruction, GOD is not only the "end" but also the "creation" being. He has little reason to oppose humanity or deliberately target it.
“I am not the darkness of the human end; I am at the end, the end of all time.”
I can observe every change, every branch of time, but... occasionally one day...
Hikaru Amagi, I've discovered a... very interesting axiom.
Axioms are the "rules and principles" that all universes, dimensions, and worlds must abide by.
"I have discovered that although history and time are different, the ultimate direction of all dimensions is always fixed."
Regardless of the timeline or the perspective.
It was as if...someone had decided everything.
Hikaru Amagi frowned.
"However, some things are just too boring. After seeing too many of them, I began to question those clown-like plots—I am a god, I don't need to follow human ideals, and more importantly... I don't need to play house with these humans."
Hikari Amagi, Serena, your human world also exists, doesn't it?
The act of using text, drawing, music composition, and even AI to integrate and modify the plots of works you are dissatisfied with or dislike, and then sharing them with other enthusiasts.
"……you mean?"
"The world I originally inhabited was utterly repulsive compared to the exquisite beauty of other dimensions." GOD Zero spread his hands. "If that's the case, then... why can't I change it?"
"What is this guy talking about?!" Serena's face turned completely cold.
"So, it's just a hobby for you?"
"That's right—because it's interesting, very interesting, and I can do it too."
GOD Zero nodded slightly. Through his movements, Amagi Hikaru seemed to be able to see behind this figure a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky and could easily shatter the stars.
"In other words, everything I've experienced since childhood, how my father found me and brought me back, even all those experiences, are all because of you—"
“That’s right, it was all arranged by me.” GOD was also very direct.
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!!" Serena was furious.
“Amagi Hikaru, you should understand.” GOD Reiji didn’t pay attention to the furious “Eve” but looked at Amagi Hikaru instead. “Just like humans playing RPG games, they always like to create an all-around genius.”
I like it very much, and I also want to become such an "omnipotent god", so I slowly tried and slowly constructed, and then prepared for myself a body with infinite possibilities and the best.
If he can accomplish it, then I can achieve the greatest success, gain the best subordinates—and I will become the most omnipotent god.
This is what you humans like to call the fun of raising animals.
And... Hikaru Amagi, you should be the human who understands me the most, right?
GOD Zero narrowed her eyes, staring at Amagi Hikaru, her smile evident in her tone: "Amagi Hikaru, I have carefully observed all your actions, I have carefully read your behavior, and I have summarized your experiences."
Ever since you came into the human world, you've been doing something similar.
Relieve disasters, alleviate suffering, change existing tragedies, and even—even yesterday, you were doing similar things!
You...you are clearly not a being of this world, yet you have changed countless people, and you take pride in it.
He slowly raised his hand, pointed at Amagi Hikaru, and then performed a gentlemanly bow like a human: "You and I are no different. Now that things have come to this, there is no need for us to fight."
Serena clenched her fists, her whole body trembling, but she was not good at arguing or thinking, and at this moment, she had no reason to refute Him.
because……
She is the one who was "changed" and "saved" by Hikaru Amagi.
She knew that if Amagi Hikaru hadn't changed her fate, she might still be a soldier in the Fusion Army, living a muddled and confused life!
Hikaru Amagi changed her, this...
"ridiculous."
"Ok?"
"Nonsense, utterly nonsensical."
! !
Serena perked up and looked at Amagi Hikaru.
"You mean, you and I are different?" GOD Zero asked thoughtfully.
Hikaru Amagi simply scoffed, "So I was thinking the best of you after all—"
As the god of pendulums, as the god who provides choices, you have never actually given anyone a choice!
"If you're trying to conflate me with you using this kind of sophistry and then pollute my brain, then you'd better save your breath."
But if you really don't know, then I'll mercifully tell you!
The true destination is respect!
"The course of history? The rules of time? Different possibilities? None of those things matter. What really matters is respecting everyone I interact with, respecting everyone's personal wishes, and then responding accordingly."
Serena respects me, and I respect Serena's choices, so I help her and teach her alchemy;
Yusei respects me, and I respect Yusei's choices, so even if he risks his life, I have never tried to dissuade him.
Respect for each other, working together to merge—my duel with Tiera embodies everything about her and me!
Whether it's integration or coordination, everything has one fundamental point: mutual respect.
They keep saying they've observed me, studied me, and understood me, yet they never show respect to anyone. Ha!
Hikaru Amagi narrowed his eyes: "It seems that there's no need for 'respect' for someone like you."
“…Ah, humans, how wondrous.” God Zero did not argue or refute, or perhaps He could not discern any rebuttal, or perhaps…
He never cared about what Deva City Light said!
"Then, the duel continues... DD Sage of Magic Kepler's effect: Retrieves 1 Contract Book."
He opened his deck, rummaged through it, and chuckled.
"This card... Zero King's Contract."
Serena's already clenched fists were now really looking for something to punch.
5K5K, I originally intended to finish writing it all at once, but I unexpectedly got a bit stuck and only managed to write 5K. I'm going to take a nap now and continue writing when I wake up; my head is a little dizzy.
