Chapter 165 Descend, Winged Dragon of Ra!
The six-year-old child looked utterly bewildered, as if questioning the meaning of life.
Kagura suppressed the mischievous expression she had inadvertently revealed and gently reminded her:
"Trap Card, [Call from the Graveyard]."
"This card can only be activated when the opponent activates [Monster Resurrection], and the effect of that [Monster Resurrection] is negated."
Six-year-old: —! ?
Holy crap, they're not even going to put on an act anymore? They're just going to use cards that are so obviously targeted?
However, targeting the card doesn't violate the rules. Back in the day, Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, even used "Dragon's Sealing Jar" to fight the president.
This isn't called targeting; what is it called? This move is called paying tribute to the predecessors.
As for why I used such a targeted trash card... I've kept the fact that I'm specifically targeting you so you know I'm targeting you!
The six-year-old's face turned a little green for a short time. It wasn't that he had no other ideas, but he just couldn't decide who the villain was.
"Ha, whatever! I activate my magic card, [Angel's Charity]!"
"Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two to the graveyard!"
A six-year-old picks out two cards and sends them to the graveyard, then a card pops out of the graveyard:
"Magic Card, [The Compensation Card]!"
"After this card is sent from your hand to the Graveyard, draw two cards!"
The six-year-old looked at the two cards he had drawn and then displayed another expressive facial expression:
"It's truly heaven protecting me, Malik!"
"I activate the Spell Card, [Supreme Fruit]!"
"When this card is activated, if my LP is lower than my opponent's, it restores 2000 LP!"
"But if our LP is higher than the opponent's, we will suffer 1000 damage."
He laughed heartily: "My life points are only 700, while yours are a whopping 3500, so I'll recover 2000 LP!"
[Dark Malik, LP700→LP2700]
"Then I activate the spell card! [Reincarnation of the Dead]!"
"Discard one card from your hand and return one card from your graveyard to your hand! Come back! Ra!"
A six-year-old sends a card from their hand to the graveyard, and then the card in the graveyard pops out automatically, as if exchanging one card for another.
President Kaiba crossed his arms: "He's put the Winged Dragon of Ra back into his hand. Looks like he's going to gather three tributes on the field for a Superior Summon?"
Kaiba Keihei exclaimed in surprise, "But Malik only has one [Guardian Slime] on the field, and he doesn't have many cards left in his hand. Can he really gather three tributes this turn?"
"Hehehe, Kagura Kiryu, let me show you the latest servant God has acquired!"
The six-year-old suddenly changed perspective, using a peculiar angle like a wide-angle donkey to make exaggerated facial expressions:
"This card can only be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by Fusion Summoning a WATER monster and a Level 10 WATER monster, or by Tributing a Level 10 monster you control with 0 ATK!"
"I unleash the Guardian Slime! Come forth! God Slime!"
The Guardian Slime melted quietly, then quickly reformed.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the slimes formed a colossus!
Seto Kaiba stared at the monster with a strange look.
Except for its mercury-like silver-gray texture, its upper body was exactly the same as that of the Colossus!
[God Slime, Level 10, Water Attribute, Aquatic Type, Attack Power 3000, Effect Monster.]
"Hehehe, [God Slime] is a loyal servant of God. This monster can be used as one or three sacrifices!"
"I unleash [God Slime]! Superior Summon! [Ra's Winged Dragon]!"
The body of [God Slime] quietly melted away, and scorching flames baked the earth.
The absolute sun god descended onto the field, transforming into a bird egg reborn from the ashes.
"Hahaha, now I'll recite the incantation of the ancient priest!"
The six-year-old boy crossed his arms and muttered incantations, reciting ancient and obscure spells.
"Hahaha, activate! [Ra's Winged Dragon]!"
The six-year-old boy spread his arms, and the spherical Pteranodon slowly opened its wings, from which beams of extremely hot and dazzling light emerged.
As the sphere suddenly opened, the scorching golden deity truly descended onto the field.
The floor of the dueling arena was so hot it cracked and sizzled. A bead of sweat dripped from Kagura's neck, and the blinding sunlight made him instinctively raise his arm to shield his eyes.
As the deity spread its wings, pale golden flames burned from its body and wings. Although it was only a very thin layer, the sacred aura it exuded made people dare not doubt its power.
Like the sun in the darkness, the Winged Dragon of Ra appeared in this dark game.
Even those below the venue could feel the terrifying heatwave.
[Ra's Winged Dragon, Level 10, Divine Attribute, Mythical Beast Type, Attack Power: ?, Effect Monster.]
"Kagura!"
"Kagura!"
Wang Yang shouted immediately, and Xingzi clenched her fists in worry and also cried out in surprise.
Looking at the dazzling god within the city, the lingering pain that had been left behind, hidden in the nerves and not yet completely dissipated, faintly resurfaced.
He clutched his chest, as if gripping his own heart:
"If it were you—you definitely could."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Finally, the Winged Dragon of Ra was successfully summoned, and the six-year-old quickly stuck out his tongue and made a funny face.
"The Winged Dragon's attack power is the sum of the attack power of its sacrifices, so its attack power is 3000!"
[Ra's Winged Dragon, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 3000]
"Attack power of 3000 isn't that high."
Honda breathed a sigh of relief: "A monster with an attack power of 3000, wouldn't that be a piece of cake for Kagura?"
"madness!"
The president of Kaiba Corporation scoffed, "The terrifying aspects of the Winged Rathalos go far beyond these!"
Indeed, while Winged Dragon of Ra is the most useless of the Gem Gods in the actual game, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the strongest Gem God in the anime.
From the perspective of animation, it has roughly the following effects:
1. This card can only be Summoned by Tributing three monsters. Its ATK is equal to the sum of the ATKs of the Tributed monsters. This Special Summoned card returns to the Graveyard at the end of the turn.
2. This card is unaffected by the effects of monsters of the same or lower level (including the other two Legendary monsters). Spell cards that do not have a powerful exit effect only last for one turn and are unaffected by any Trap Cards.
3. After this card is Special Summoned, you can Tribute all monsters on your field, and then gain ATK equal to the sum of the ATK of those monsters.
4. After this card is Special Summoned, you can pay LP to increase its ATK by paying LP until it reaches 1. (It also fuses with the Duelist.)
5. While in fusion state, activate a [Fusion Release] card to reduce this card's ATK to 0, and the Duelist's Life Points are reduced by the amount of ATK.
6. When this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, it transforms into the form of "Phoenix of God". It cannot be destroyed by battle, and it takes 0 damage in battle. Pay 1000 Life Points and recite an ancient incantation to destroy all monsters on your opponent's field.
(I found this effect on Baidu. In the manga, it's a permanent effect when you pay 1000 to destroy something. In the anime, it can only be activated by Phoenix. In the second part, it became permanent again. I don't understand it, so I'll just use the one from Baidu for now. There are so many effects that one card can't even fit them all. In fact, these effects could even form a complete Winged Dragon of Ra deck.)
