Yu-Gi-Oh: True Card King

"Damage determination..."

Muto Yugi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened his eyes: "Ah, could it be that the other card in the backfield is...!"

"That's right, it's a card that can be activated during the damage determination phase to change the attack value."

Tianma Yexing reached out and opened the cover card on the field: "The trap card [Curse of Aging] is activated. I pay a card in my hand as COST to activate the effect of this card, which will reduce the attack power of your Black Magician by 500 points! "

[Curse of Aging, Trap Card, Effect: ①: Activate by paying a card from your hand. All monsters on the opponent's field will have their attack and defense reduced by 500 points before the end of the round. 】

Muto Yugi was a little flustered: "Oh no, if this happens, my dimensional magic won't be able to be used."

"Dimensional magic?"

Tianma Yexing suddenly said: "Ah, that's that card? That card can be used to avoid [Tribute to the Dead] and other target-taking cards, but even if it's not in the damage determination stage, your Chain Aging Curse won't go away." There is no way to avoid the target effect."

Muto Yugi nodded: "That's true, but after my dimensional magic is resolved, the number of monsters on the field changes, and my attacks can also be rolled back. After the round is over, the aging curse effect disappears. It’s okay to wait until the next turn to defeat the monsters on your field.”

"Ah...that's right..."

Tianma Yexing didn't expect this, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are indeed a master of games, your thinking is very clear."

"Effect settled."

Muto Yugi and Pegasus Yakou each sent the Black Magician and Black Panther Warrior on their field to the graveyard.

A small confrontation is just a taste.

But Jonouchi, who was sitting next to him and felt that he had already started to get started, seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, and his mind was confused: "Wait...wait a minute! What are you talking about? What about damage determination...what about rewinding...how come I don't know anything about it?" I dont understand!?"

"That's right, Jonouchi-kun."

Muto Game started to popularize the science in the city: "In the battle stage, there are several small stages, namely the start of the battle, the progress of the battle, before the damage is determined, when the damage is determined, after the damage is determined, and the end of the battle. In the damage When judging these points, only second-speed, third-speed effects that affect the monster's attack power or invalid effects can be activated, so at this stage, Ye Xing can use his [Curse of Aging], but I can't. You can’t use my [Dimensional Magic].”

Jonouchi heard this with half-understanding: "Is this... so? Then what happened when Ye Xing said that it would be useless even if it was not in the damage determination stage?"

"That's because of the way the chain settles."

Tianma Yexing then explained for him: "As I said just now, the settlement of the chain starts from the last effect. If it is not in the damage determination stage, my C1 [Curse of Aging], the game C2 [Dimension Magic], from his effect To start the calculation, he first liberates the black magician on the field, special summons other magicians in his hand, and then destroys a monster on my field, and then starts to calculate my effect, and the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field is reduced. 500 points.”

"That's right."

Muto Yugi nodded: "But because the number of monsters on the field has changed, the attack can be rolled back. If you choose not to attack, then when the round ends, the effect of [Aging Curse] will be invalid."

After hearing this, Jonouchi was shocked: "Huh? If you say that, wouldn't it be a big disadvantage for those who activate the effect later!?"

"Actually, not necessarily."

Tianma Yexing pointed at another card in the backfield and said: "For example, if I first activate the [Tribute to the Dead] card with the Black Magician as the target, and the game uses him to chain dimensional magic, my target can be lost. If the effect is lost, not only will I not be able to successfully destroy the monster, I will even lose the card drawing phase in the next round, and I will lose my pants.”

"This is the difference between taking objects and not taking objects."

After finishing speaking, Tenma Yakou smiled: "The game changes rapidly, and every decision may lead to different results. This is the charm of Duel Monster Cards, Jonouchi."

"...Ah, I probably understand."

Jonouchi suddenly understood, clapped his hands and said: "Isn't it stronger not to take the target than to take the target?"

"...In most cases that's the case."

Pegasus Ye Xing laughed dryly: "But this also caused the ending of all the duel kings who did not choose a partner... Well... maybe Brother Crab and Qiu are better. The operation of Tomato's girlfriend turning into a mother is really interesting. …”

"Brother Crab? Tomato?"

Everyone present blinked in confusion: "What is that?"

"Ah, nothing."

Pegasus Yakou glanced at the game and said, "That's the Duel Monsters comic story that International Illusion Society is about to launch. It should be released next week. I think you guys will like those stories."

"Really? There are actually accompanying comic stories!?"

Muto Yugi's eyes shone brightly and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely buy it. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Just knew you'd expect it.

Tianma Yexing quietly thought in his mind.

If it weren't for the fact that I came to this world and regulated the dueling rules in advance, I would have really wanted to turn Yu-Gi-Oh DM into a comic and animation first.

Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to adapt the first comic using the Master Rules.

So the first batch of comics started from Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

As for the ones for the 5DS later, Pegasus Night Walker is not planning to release them for the time being.

Duel Monster cards are still in the early stages, and to attract newcomers, it is better to make the gameplay less complicated.

Although Synchro and Gyro are not too complicated...

"Then let's stop chatting."

Pegasus Night Walker shifted his attention to the duel again: "Let's continue the duel, Yugi."

"Yes! Night Walker!"

Muto Yugi waved his hand: "My turn is over. In your end phase of the next turn, the effect of the Sword of Sealing Light will disappear."

"Then on my turn, draw a card!"

Pegasus Night Walker put his hand on the top of the deck and was about to draw the card, but suddenly he felt a current piercing his whole body from his fingertips!

At that moment, Pegasus Night Walker seemed to see the whole world in a second!

"Here it comes again!"

Pegasus Night Walker felt the resonance between this card and his soul, picked it up and turned it over.

Completely different from SR, UR or Mirror Shatter.

Red hot gold font.

Beautiful flash pattern spreading to the border.

In the card effect column, there is a steel stamp with the number [10000]!

No matter from which angle, you will be deeply attracted by its beauty.

Possessing a unique rarity in the world, the legendary god who created the world - [Creator Dragon of All Things]!
