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

Chapter 41 The Strongest Emperor

Mitra ignored Dixing and said with a sorrowful expression, "Then, I will sacrifice my [Thunder Emperor Zaborgh] and your [Battery Man]."

What?! Using my monster as a sacrifice?! A burst of flame and a wisp of black mist respectively entangled [Battery Man] and [Thunder Emperor Zaborgh]

"Superior Summoning—[Emperor of Evil Flames Testaros]!"

Testaros? The strongest emperor to date?

The most powerful emperor, imbued with the energies of fire and darkness, appeared on the field, looking down upon everything in the world.

"I activate the effect of the Ferocious Emperor, banishing one card from your hand and dealing 1000 damage based on your life points."

"Don't even think about it! I activate the effect of [Summer Solstice Thunder God]. During your opponent's turn, discard 1 card from your hand, and Special Summon 1 Thunder-Type monster (excluding Link Monsters) from your Graveyard to the zone linked to this card."

"I discarded my only card from my hand to revive the [Batteryman] from the graveyard." [Batteryman Business Type] has a Special Summon restriction; it can't be revived. Now, there are so many cards much stronger than it that don't have this restriction. Sigh, it ultimately suffers from being released too early.

"Hmph, little trick, it's not over yet. I activate the second effect of the Evil Flame Emperor: If this card is Tribute Summoned, Tribute a Level 8 or higher monster and banish one card from the field."

"If that card is an FIRE/DARK monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to its Level * 200. I banish your 'Fuel Cell Man' monster; since it has been changed to DARK, I inflict damage to you for a total of 6 * 200, which is 1200 damage."

"You lowly human, I bestow upon you fire and darkness; be grateful, my subjects!"

Testaros snapped his fingers with a wicked grin, and the fuel cell man instantly burst into black flames. The flames shattered in an instant, transforming into black arrows that shot towards Di Xing. Di Xing hurriedly protected his head, but was still pierced by the black arrows, causing excruciating pain throughout his body. LP3800-1200=2600

"【Evil Flame Emperor Testaros】attacks 【Summer Retreat Thunder God】, dealing 1400 damage based on your HP." LP 2600 - 1400 = 1200

"It's not over yet. I'll banish the 'Pan-God Emperor' from my graveyard and show you three Emperor Spell/Trap Cards from my deck. You need to choose one of them to add to my hand."

Good grief, all three cards this time are "Emperor's Fusion". This trap card "Emperor's Fusion" is even more troublesome, as it can negate the effects of monsters other than Tribute Summoned monsters on the field. But since all three are "Emperor's Fusion", there are no other options.

"I choose [Emperor's Melt]!" Mitra happily set this card face-down on the field.

Then Mitra thought for a moment, glanced at Di Xing's empty hand, hesitated, and announced, "I enter Main Phase Two, Special Summoning [Thunder Emperor's Retainer Mitra] from my hand. Summon one Retainer Token to your field." Then Mitra reluctantly left the field.

Ah, I finally witnessed the iconic scene of him summoning himself! It seems he only has two colleagues in his deck, and the third is himself. He seems quite reluctant to be on the field. Is he doing this to block my monsters? If I'm missing a Battery Man, Battery Man won't be able to defeat the Evil Flame Emperor.

"I'm ending this round."

"Wait a minute," if she ends her turn like this, he'll activate Emperor's Melt at the start of the next turn, so I have to do something this turn.

"I activate the face-down card 'Carrying Battery' on the field to revive 'Batteryman - Horn' and 'Solar Battery Man' from my Graveyard. After Horn is revived, I choose one Batteryman monster from my Deck to add to my hand. I choose Batteryman."

"After the Solar Battery Man is resurrected, choose one Battery Man monster from your deck and send it to the Graveyard. I choose a single Battery Man monster. Now you can end your turn. Then it's my turn. Draw a card."

Mitra just watched Di Xing quietly. Di Xing was a little confused, feeling that something was missing. Suddenly, he realized, "Ah, she didn't mock me or make me admit defeat." So he asked Mitra, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"We Kalings don't have as many complicated schemes as you humans. Besides, don't you humans have a saying? 'The villain dies from talking too much.' That's why I've always been very concise in my duels."

Wow, does that mean you're admitting you're the villain? My situation is definitely dire right now, but it's okay.

"I offer up my retainer's derivatives as a sacrifice; my superior summons the [Battery Man]."

"In that instant, I activated the trap card [Emperor's Melt]."

"However, the effect of [Battery Man] can still be activated, Special Summoning the last [Fuel Cell Man] in the Deck."

"I activate the Spell Card 'Galaxy Cyclone' from my Graveyard, banish this card, destroy one face-up Spell/Trap Card on your field, and destroy 'Emperor's Fusion'." With 'Emperor's Fusion' destroyed, all the special effects of the monsters on the field are unlocked.

"Then the effect of [Fuel Cell Man] activates, I release [Fuel Cell Man - Angular] from my field, and bounce [Attack Emperor] from your field back to your hand."

"Then banish [Batteryman - Business Type] and [Batteryman - Angular Type] from the Graveyard, and Special Summon a second [Batteryman - Business Type]."

"Activate the effect of [Batteryman - Business Type] again, banish [Summer Solstice Thunder God] from your Graveyard, and destroy [True Emperor] on your field and [Carrying Battery] on my field."

[Carrying Battery] Destroyed; the solar cell creature summoned by its effect was also destroyed, but it's no longer a problem.

"I used the Battery Man to attack Testaros, the Flame Emperor."

Testaros roared in fury, "Does this lowly Battery People dare to challenge me?"

But the Battery Man didn't answer him; instead, he raised his fist and charged at him. The Evil Flame Emperor unleashed scorching black flames from his shoulder, angrily meeting the Battery Man's attack head-on.

The two monsters flashed past each other in the air. After a brief silence, Testaross let out another "hehehe" laugh and looked at Di Xing, saying...

"Excellent! Although it's because of Mitra's limited abilities, you've managed to unleash such power from the frail Battery Man. I was definitely right to come this time. I hope you'll visit Emperor's Valley; I'll personally entertain you, hahaha!"

Finally, Testaros's laughter returned to normal, and then his massive body exploded.

Mitra was annoyed by Testaross's mockery of her limited abilities but dared not speak out. What bothered her even more was...

"【Battery Man - Angular】Mitra on the Offensive Field"

Mitra's main body took the direct hit from the angular attack, but because this was a duel, she could only silently return to her duelist position.

"This is the final blow; the battery-powered man is attacking her main body directly."

With a massive flash of lightning, Mitra's health points instantly dropped to zero.
