Chapter 848: Chapter 821: Waking Up to a Situation Like This
Everything is riding on this card draw.
Just like Yuki Judai, John Anderson is a duelist who firmly believes in the possibilities of his card deck. He believes that no matter what he faces, as long as he can draw a card, there is hope.
His deck has never disappointed him until now.
No matter whether the future this draw leads to is a win or a loss, he is fearless. He will face any future together with his family.
"Draw!"
At the moment of the final draw, even the silent stone tablets behind him seemed to flash with a momentary rainbow glow, as if light was shining upon the card he had drawn.
Yugen pondered.
At that moment, he suddenly felt as if he heard the GX execution BGM near his ears, a hallucination...
"Activate Magic Card—
—Overflow of Jade!"
Yugen: "Oh?"
To draw Overflow in such a desperate situation, as expected of a man destined to be the protagonist.
"Overflow of Jade allows you to send the four cards in your Magic Trap Zone with ’Jade Beast’ in their names to the graveyard, and sends all the cards on the field...all to the graveyard!"
"Nani?" The onlooker Keihei was shocked.
The Elf Eye behind Yugen couldn’t help but shout out: "Hey! Is this flipping the table because you can’t win? This is against the rules!"
John quickly pulled out the four Jade cards inserted in the back rows of his duel disc.
"Jade Beast - Jade Turtle!
Jade Beast - Purple Crystal Cat!
Jade Beast - Cyan Jade Pegasus!
Jade Beast - Amber Mammoth!
Let the power of the four Jade cards unite and sweep away everything!"
The four Jades in the back row appeared with cracks, then shattered one after another. A dazzling, endless light was released, resembling a rainbow storm sweeping across the entire field!
In an instant, Yugen’s Level Restriction B Area that sealed attacks, Death God’s Tour that sealed summons, and even the Secret Ceremony Power’s The Hanged Man, which would bring a verdict of defeat next turn, were all annihilated by the power of the Jades, vanishing in one go!
Naturally, the power of John’s own Jades on the field was also burnt out completely, leaving nothing behind.
"So amazing..." Even Keihei couldn’t help but marvel, "This is the powerful bond between John Anderson and the Jades..."
Hmph... It could also be said that when a person is forced to desperation, they can do anything.
Even as an observer, he could imagine how suffocating it must have been to be repeatedly blocked to this extent in a duel with Yugen.
Perhaps it was precisely that extreme suffocation and the pent-up anger that erupted all at once, producing such amazing power...
"This rewrites the entire situation!" John said, "All your arrangements have disappeared, Mr. Yugen!"
"Is that so?"
Yugen smiled and pointed to John’s field.
John was puzzled, then looked in the direction of the finger, and suddenly froze.
[Secret Ceremony Power 0 - The Fool, Defense Power 0]
"Eh?"
John blinked twice.
Wait, wasn’t everything on the table overturned? Why is this stubborn defense still there...
"Ah, right..." John suddenly remembered something.
"Seems like you remembered, huh." Yugen smiled, "That’s right. The Fool in reversed position is unaffected by any effects of your cards."
John: "......"
He’s truly speechless now.
So this thing is not only a defense, but a ridiculously strong one. Even after flipping the entire table, it’s still stubbornly clinging to it...
But that’s not important now!
Because right now...
As if in response to this duel, and the accumulated frustration, suffocation, and unvented fury of the Jades during this duel, the silent stone tablet constantly trembled, then blossomed with a seven-colored radiance!
Seven sparkling, dazzling gems seemed to rise from John’s graveyard, converging under the pull of an invisible gravity, like ribbons in a fairy’s hand, weaving a tapestry of vibrant colors stretching across the sky.
That was a rainbow!
Beckas looked at the suddenly appearing rainbow with fervent eyes: "Oh, oh, oh, is that... masaka (could it be)!?"
The center of the rainbow began to surge, as if life was being nurtured. A sacred, dreamlike figure slowly appeared from the rainbow.
It was a magnificent and majestic dragon, its body initially like an energy body flowing with seven-colored light, like the purest energy in the cosmos, until the seven colors combined to transform into a white, pure, and sacred form.
"When the seven Jade come together as one, the form of the Ultimate Gemstone God will descend! Appear—"
John raised the card in his hand high.
That was originally a blank card.
It was a card that Beckas had given him, specially designed for the ultimate Jade. But this card had always been blank, until today.
The seven-colored rainbow light appeared on the card, and gradually, a brilliant card image and golden text appeared.
Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon, Summon!
[Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
"It really worked!"
President Beckas was so excited that he lost his composure.
"Unbelievable!"
"You really did it, John boy! Yugen Boy!"
Keihei was also a bit dazed, looking at the Divine Dragon exuding godly pressure, then at Yugen, his words stuck in his throat for a while.
This damn thing actually worked?
John felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart. It was as if a big rock had been blocking him for a long time... No, not just one big rock, it’s like rocks kept piling on, pressing him to a critical point he could barely stand, suddenly wiped away by a seven-colored rainbow light, opening a bright and smooth path.
An indescribable ultimate pleasure.
He even felt that, as a Duelist, the peak of life might just be this.
Now there was only one thing left.
Use the Ultimate Gemstone God to bring this stifling duel to a final conclusion!
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yugen. If it weren’t for your help, my Jade beasts and I might not have unleashed the potential to resonate with the Rainbow Dragon."
John said with a smile.
"But the duel isn’t over yet. As a Duelist, you must give your all until the final moment!"
This was when Keihei snapped back from the trance induced by the arrival of the Rainbow Dragon.
"Ah!"
Right, the jade’s flood swept across the field, making all cards disappear, which meant Yugen had no more cards to defend with.
If attacked by the Ultimate Gemstone God with 4000 Attack Power...
Keihei suddenly looked at Yugen.
Is Yugen losing here to help the opponent’s Jade God awaken?
Clap clap clap——
But just as he looked over with concern, he found that at this critical juncture, Yugen... was actually applauding?
"Very impressive, John Anderson. I’ve witnessed the invincible bond between you and your Jade beasts, and your determination to break through even the thickest barriers."
"Hehe."
John felt a bit embarrassed, laughed, and rubbed his nose.
"Now that the Rainbow Dragon has awakened, my mission here is complete." Yugen said with a relaxed smile, "Let’s end this duel this turn."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room understood.
So it was all just for the Rainbow Dragon’s awakening. Now that his mission was done, he seemingly no longer cared about winning.
But just as they all thought this.
"Discard the Magic Card ’Fate’s Intercession’ from my hand, and activate its effect," said Yugen. "This card can only be activated when a monster is summoned to the field, by discarding it from my hand. When discarded, I can activate an Ordinary Magic Card from my hand at Speed 2." (Original Card)
It was indeed the famous scene from GX where Saio used this in a zero-turn kill against Prince Aojin.
"Huh?" John froze.
Then Yugen revealed another Magic Card from his hand.
Also a gift from Saio, personified in the Light of Destruction.
"Magic Card ’Treasure Sword A’ (Original Card)," Yugen smiled, "Choose a monster on the field, then rotate this card to obtain different effects based on its orientation.
If it’s upright, it deals damage equal to the Attack Power of the chosen monster to the opponent.
If it’s reversed, I have to take damage equal to the Attack Power of the chosen monster myself."
Everyone’s pupils shrank, gasping in shock.
Because they all knew what Yugen was going to choose.
[Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
The Gemstone God with 4000 Attack Power!
This means the card rotation directly decides the duel’s winner. It’s like the whole duel’s outcome is pinned on a coin, with heads being John’s loss and tails being Yugen’s loss, each with only a 50% win rate.
No, that’s not right...
Everyone shifted their gaze again to John... the other monster on the field.
That stubborn presence, both foul and formidable, refusing to leave John’s field... the Fool.
[Secret Ceremony Power 0 - The Fool, Defense Power 0]
"Yes, with the Fool on your field, I don’t need to rotate the card. I can freely choose and activate the effect of being upright or reversed."
Yugen explained with a smile.
John: "............"
Even the Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon on his field opened its mouth, but it opened and closed again, unable to give a single dragon roar.
However, its reaction seemed to say—
—Are you kidding me?
I’ve slept for thousands of years, and my first duel after waking up is like this?
What about beginner’s protection?
"Well then, I choose the upright effect of Treasure Sword A. John, you’ll take the Attack Power of the Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon... four thousand points of damage."
Yugen paused after speaking, and even smiled encouragingly at him.
"Well played, keep it up."
As he finished speaking, seven-colored rainbow light burst from the Rainbow Dragon, engulfing John.
[John, LP900→LP0]
