Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 337 Thetis, the Goddess of Light

"That's it, Mr. Hokuto. I'm entering the Battle Phase. At this moment, the effect of Dice Dungeon activates. It activates at the start of the Battle Phase. You and I each roll the dice once, and the effect of applying the number of ATKs of all monsters on our field until the end of the turn applies."

Di Xing silently threw the dice. The dice rolled for a while before stopping; it was a 4.

"When you roll a 4, all monsters on your field gain 500 ATK. That's great, because monsters are so weak, yet your 4 is stronger than a 6."

The Heart Key Fairy's attack power increased by 500 points, reaching 900 points.

"Then it's my turn," Du Shuqiang said with a sinister grin, throwing the dice. The dice rolled a few times on the ground before stopping, revealing the number 6.

"Hahaha, in the case of a 6, the attack power of all the monsters on my field is doubled!"

"What!" Di Xing's friends all exclaimed in surprise.

The attack power of the two ghouls instantly soared to 8800 points.

"What a pity, I was just one point away from killing you in one hit. But," Du Shuqiang revealed a sinister smile, "this also means you're about to suffer a direct hit with 8800 points of attack power. Just thinking about it is exciting!"

Oh my god, you're not pretending anymore?

"Star is in danger!" Nami exclaimed anxiously.

"The magic traps are sealed off, and the monster is just a normal monster. We're finished; our shop is doomed." Opal was utterly despondent.

"Don't worry, the moment the other side activates White Robe, Benxing has already won," Ai Xiao said with a confident smile.

"Goodbye, Champion Di... oh no, Mr. Beidou, I'm going to use the God-Ghost Ogre to attack your Heart Key Fairy on the field!"

"Wait, before you declare your attack, I'll activate the Trap Card [Half Damage Unbreakable] and select my Heart Key Fairy. This turn, she cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage she inflicts on me is halved."

"Tch, such a low-level trap card? It did save your life, but you'll still have to take the battle damage. God-Ghost Ogre, attack Heart Key Fairy!"

The giant sword of the Ghoul was about to strike the Heart Key Fairy, but just before it hit, a shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack. Simultaneously, countless bubbles burst forth, attempting to deflect the shockwave from the Ghoul's attack. However, some of the shockwave still reached Di Xing, inflicting a massive 3850 points of damage.

"It's not over yet, the second ghoul ogre is attacking!"

Another greatsword struck the shield, and Di Xing suffered massive damage, leaving him with only 100 health points.

However, Di Xing smiled, realizing that he had successfully locked his bloodline!

"You're just enjoying this time of surviving like a stray dog, hahaha!" With victory looming, Du Shuqiang's elegant facade crumbled, and he began to laugh wildly, even in front of Ms. Mi Nuo.

"I'll set two cards face down to end this round."

(Hand cards: Du Shuqiang 6→0, Di Xing 2→10)

"My turn, draw a card."

"At this moment, I activate the Trap Card [Flame Dart]. It can only be activated when I have no cards in hand. Roll the dice three times, and deal damage to you equal to the dice roll plus 100 points of your life points."

Du Shuqiang arrogantly threw down three dice, which rolled 4, 5, and 5. "That's it!" he declared.

"Don't even think about it! I discard [Winged Cotton] from my hand, and this turn I take 0 effect damage."

A cute, winged ball of fluff appeared, summoning a massive barrier that forcefully blocked three flaming darts.

"So cute!" Li Fei Hua Yue's eyes turned into stars. "No, no, I'm completely devoted to the Chestnut Balls!"

"Kagetsu, wake up! Winged Cotton is from the Angel race, while the Demon race's Kuriboh is heresy to a demon-exorcising girl like you!" Nami retorted desperately.

"Angels? Oh right, then I have no problem liking them! It's normal for a D.Gray-man to like angels, right?"

"But it's abnormal for a D.Gray-man to like demons," Ai Xiao joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic commentary).

Du Shuqiang was extremely annoyed that his killing move had been blocked. "Tch, another low-rarity trash card? You've drawn a lot of cards, but they're all trash like this. With these cards, you can at best survive, but you can't possibly beat me."

"Really? But thanks to all those cards you drew earlier, my winning chain is complete. I'll let you see my hand: [Sleeping Giant Gudu]. Once per turn, place a Gudu Counter on one Level 1 Normal Monster on my field! When a monster has ten Gudu Counters, you can Tribute it to Special Summon Sleeping Giant Gudu."

I placed a Gudu token on the Heart Key Fairy.

"Ha! You actually added this card? How foolish. Let alone whether you can protect that Level 1 monster for 10 turns," Du Shuqiang pointed at Di Xing's 100 life points, "Do you think you can survive for ten turns?"

"No, because I will finish you off this round."

Du Shuqiang laughed wildly as if he had heard a joke, "Finish me off in this round? Come on if you can!"

"Open your eyes and watch closely. I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Myth of Light], Special Summoning [Thetis, Goddess of Light] (LIGHT/Fairy, Level 5, 2400/1800) from my hand." C1

"It's not over yet. I'll chain-activate the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Rampage Summoning of Hell' from my hand. When I Special Summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK, I can target one monster on your field and Special Summon as many monsters with the same name as those two monsters from my hand, Deck, and Graveyard as possible."

"I Special Summon two new [Thetis, the Goddess of Light], and at the same time, I allow you to Special Summon one more Ogre God."

"Heh, finally some decent monster. Did you get this from the Angel card pack? Although its rarity isn't high, it's practically recyclable junk."

"You won't be laughing when you hear about its effect. It can be activated every time I draw an Angel-type card, allowing me to draw another card!"

"Heh, but didn't you already draw a card?"

"Yes, but I can also draw cards outside of the normal draw. By the way, the effect of Thetis the Light Goddess has no limit of once per turn, and there is no card name restriction. That means that as long as I draw an Angel-Type monster, I can draw three cards, and if there is an Angel-Type monster among those three cards, I can draw three more!"

"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle! I activate the spell card 'Dark World's Draw,' and both players draw one card, then discard one. It's show time!"

Di Xing suddenly drew a card—it was [Youyou]! Excitedly, Di Xing showed it off, but nothing happened...

"Hey, what's going on? Is there a bug?"

Di Xing was extremely embarrassed, while the people opposite him began to laugh at him wildly.

"North, Beidou Forest"

The girl with the side ponytail timidly raised her hand. "The effect of [The Goddess of Light] is 'time,' so is it because [Dark World's Draw] draws a card first and then discards it, thus blocking the activation time of Thetis?"

Wow, it seems that's really true!
