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

Chapter 45 Opportunity for Victory

The duel on the field continues

Since there's only one monster left on the field, [Eternal Flame], and no more cards to chain, is this long card-drawing phase finally coming to an end...?

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [E Emergency!], Special Summoning [Rescue Ace Team Air Fire Extinguisher] from my Deck in Defense Position."

Why not summon the big brother of the ACE deck? Di Xing was a little puzzled.

As Xiao Yi then announced, "During your preparation phase, my destroyed [True Flame King Phoenix] can be added to your hand," the audience realized that all those actions had actually taken place during the card-drawing phase. The native residents present couldn't help but exclaim, "Outrageous!" Di Xing said, "I'll just laugh and say nothing, but it really is quite outrageous. When did Yu-Gi-Oh! become like this? The most outrageous thing is that I actually think this is normal operation? Can't we go back to the innocent days of 1 for 5?"

Brother Ace continued, "Because you added the card to your hand using a method other than drawing a card, the effect of the Air Fire Extinguisher activated, drawing two cards and discarding one. Then I banished 'Rescue Ace Team Fire Hydrant' from my graveyard and Special Summoned 'Rescue Ace Team Fire Defender' from my hand, Set three cards, and ended this turn."

"My turn, draw a card."

"I activate the Trap Card [Lost Wind] to negate the effect of your [Flame King God: Phoenix - Eternal Flame]."

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Flame King's Ring] from my hand, targeting 1 FIRE monster on the field and 1 FIRE monster in my Graveyard. The FIRE monster on the field is destroyed, the monster in the Graveyard is Special Summoned, and I destroy [Flame King God - Great Phoenix - Eternal Flame]."

[Lost Wind] Lost its target, activation failed.

Ace sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "I activate [R-Boost!] to increase the attack of [Rescue Ace Team Fire Defender] by 1500, making it unaffected by your monster effects, and it can only be destroyed by battle once."

"The effect of Fiery Queen's Flame Ring allows me to revive the [Fiery Queen Phoenix] in my graveyard. Fiery Queen's effect is activated." (C1)

"Then, if 'Teoshin, the Great Phoenix, Eternal Flame,' which contains Xyz Material, is destroyed, its 3rd effect can be activated. Special Summon 'Teoshin' monsters from your Graveyard up to the number of Xyz Material this card contains." (C2)

"I chain [R-Enhance!] from my graveyard, banish this card from my graveyard, and set 1 Ace Spell Card from my graveyard back to the field." (C3)

"Captain Ace, you can't chain anymore. Effect resolves. Chain 3 (C3): Set your [A Alert!], Chain 2: The effect of Phoenix Eternal Flame passes. I Special Summon [Holy Flame King Phoenix], [Flame King Beast Kirin], [Flame King Beast Phoenix], and [Flame King Beast Ganesha] from my Graveyard. Chain 1: Flame Queen's effect activates, destroying [Flame King Beast Ganesha]. I add a second [Holy Flame King Phoenix] from my Deck to my hand. Flame Queen's Level becomes the same as the monster added to my hand. [Holy Flame King Phoenix] is Level 8, so Flame Queen becomes Level 8. And because [Flame King Beast Ganesha] was destroyed, I revive the second [Flame King Beast Kirin] from my Graveyard."

"Furthermore, the effect of [Sacred Flame King, Phoenix] activated after its Special Summon allows the destruction of [Flame King Divine Beast, Phoenix] from the Deck, increasing Phoenix's ATK to 4050."

Di Xing swallowed hard. There were five eight-star monsters. Were they coming?

"I construct a stacking network using the five Entei monsters on the field. All the inextinguishable flames on my field, transform into divine power! The eternal flame overlord will descend once more! The power of true flame awakens at this moment! Return! [Entei God: Phoenix - Eternal Flame]! Activate the effect of [Entei God: Phoenix - Eternal Flame] to destroy all other monsters on the field except for it."

"My [Rescue Ace Firefighter] on the field has the [R-Boost!] effect, so it cannot be destroyed by your monster effects, and it has 4300 ATK, so you cannot destroy it by battle."

The raging flames of the Phoenix of Immortality, Eternal Flame, swept across the entire field, incinerating the [Rescue ACE Team Aerial Fire Extinguisher]. A blue light shield of [R Enhancement!] rose around the firefighters, blocking the flames.

"I Normal Summon [True Flame King Phoenix], and its effect activates, adding one [Flame King Divine Blaze] from my Deck to my hand."

"Then I activate the second effect of [Fire King God: Phoenix - Eternal Flame], detach one Xyz Material from this card, destroy a Set card on your field, and this card gains 500 ATK. The material I detached was [Fire King Queen: Fire God Phoenix]. Then I Set two cards and end this turn."

"My turn, draw a card, activate the Field Spell Card [Rescue ACE Team Headquarters], use this card's 3rd effect..."

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Flame King God's Heavenly Blaze]. This card can destroy any number of 'Flame King' monsters on my field and destroy the same number of cards on your field. I destroy [True Flame King Phoenix] and [Flame King God Great Roc Phoenix - Eternal Flame] on my field, and destroy [Rescue Ace Team Fire Defender] and [Rescue Ace Team Headquarters] on your field."

"I will spare the destruction of the [Multiverse] outside the cemetery, in place of the [Rescue ACE Team Headquarters]."

"Because the Phoenix Eternal Flame was destroyed by an effect, I Special Summon the following from my Graveyard: [Holy Flame King Phoenix], [Flame King Beast Kirin], [Flame King Beast Phoenix], [Flame King Beast Kirin], [Flame King Beast Phoenix], [Holy Flame King Phoenix]"

Five level 8 monsters reappeared on the field, creating a powerful and oppressive atmosphere.

Seeing this, Ai Xiao couldn't help but grip Di Xing's hand tightly. "Big brother's in danger! There are only two cards left on the field, but the opponent has five level 8 monsters!"

Feeling Ai Xiao's cold little hands sweating with nervousness, Di Xing gently squeezed them back and said to Ai Xiao, "It's okay, Xiao Yi made a mistake. The captain still has a chance to win."

Ace calmly continued, "When [Rescue Ace Team Fire Defender] is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I may Special Summon 1 [Rescue Ace Team] monster (excluding myself, which is in a banished state). I Special Summon [Rescue Ace Team Fire Hydrant]."

At this moment, Xiao Yi was a little conflicted. Should he activate the effect of Flame King's Sanctuary to Xyz Summon Roc Phoenix Eternal Flame again? If he didn't activate it, Fire Hydrant could add one Ace Monster from his Deck to his hand. If he activated it, and the card drawn by the Ace Team Headquarters effect was very strong, damn it, he shouldn't have resurrected five Level 8 monsters just for the sake of looking cool. He should have just resurrected one elephant (【Flame King Beast Ganesha】).
