Free Web NovelChapter 812: Chapter 487: I Can’t Believe I’ve Been Hurt by the Fish King Too
As the effect of [God King Zeus] activated, Shen Sui’s deck was spread open by the effect, and Life Cards flashed rapidly past the eyes of both duelists.
Suddenly, the deck that had been flipping stopped, and a Life Card was revealed in front of the two of them:
[Fish King · Paiyigaad].
The moment she saw the target card, delight flashed through Louise’s eyes: "I guessed right! You really are running a Fish King Card!"
After Cezar lost to Shen Sui in the Huaxia tournament, Louise, driven by curiosity, had carefully studied Shen Sui’s deck. She naturally knew that Shen Sui had a series of Fish King Followers that could tribute the opponent’s Followers on their field to Special Summon themselves to the opponent’s field.
After seeing Shen Sui’s actual combat cases, Louise was very sure that this type of Follower was extremely effective against Followers with Resistance.
So-called leave-field Resistance might as well not exist in front of them.
And Louise’s deck just happened to contain many Followers with similar effects. freewёbnoνel.com
Putting herself in his shoes, Louise guessed that in a Duel against her, Shen Sui would add Fish King Follower Cards into his deck to remove her fifteen-star big brother that locks down the field.
With Louise’s declaration succeeding, a Life Card with no name and no effect appeared in front of her.
The artwork on the card depicted the image of an infant, and in the background were the silhouettes of God King Zeus and a woman.
As God King Zeus’s effect resolved, a name appeared on this nameless card: [Divine Child · Fish King · Paiyigaad].
Immediately after, the same effect and Spirit Value as Paiyigaad’s appeared on the card.
Louise raised her hand and took the card into her hand.
Shen Sui gave a helpless smile.
Although he more or less knew what Louise had based her prediction on, guessing that his build contained [Fish King · Paiyigaad], now that it had actually happened, Shen Sui still felt quite resigned.
If you say Louise has a bad mentality, this girl still dared to bet in this situation that I’d stuff a Fish King into my [Puppet] deck.
[Fish King · Paiyigaad] has to tribute two Followers in order to Special Summon itself to the opponent’s field, which also makes the Fish King series of Followers somewhat inferior to Evil Beast-type monsters in certain application scenarios.
Therefore, Louise had even deliberately Special Summoned a Follower to Shen Sui’s field beforehand.
Since Paiyigaad was already in hand, what came next was naturally very simple: "I activate the effect of [Divine Child · Fish King · Paiyigaad] in my hand, tribute the two Followers on your field, and Special Summon it to your field!"
Watching the familiar spray of water rise up on his own field, Shen Sui couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
So I too have lived to see the day I’m hurt by Fish King.
The War God Puppet Body was, unsurprisingly, swallowed by the Fish King in an instant.
The only comfort was that the Zeus Seal’s card image used the appearance of the Divine Child right after birth, and not the copied template’s appearance; otherwise, Shen Sui figured he’d have to sit through the awkward spectacle of his own imposing Follower turning into a fish.
But fine, copy my card if you must—why do you have to copy the summoning animation too!
Shen Sui couldn’t help吐槽 in his heart.
Once the War God Puppet Body was tributed, Shen Sui’s suppression over Louise vanished in an instant.
Louise hadn’t used many Life Cards in her previous turns, and with her hand still fairly full, once the chains on her were undone, she immediately started flooding the field.
The explosive development power of the Mythical Card Set instantly stood out.
After all, these Gods from ancient European mythology more or less have some kind of relationship with each other—big brother and little sister have a daughter, the father covets the daughter, it’s all a mess. This meant Louise didn’t need to deliberately design their combo chains; they naturally formed into a state of mutually linked chains.
Louise first Normal Summoned an ordinary human princess, Psyche, from her hand, then activated Psyche’s effect to Special Summon [Love God Cupid] from her deck.
Immediately after, because Cupid was on the field, Louise could Special Summon [Goddess of Love and Beauty: Aphrodite] from her hand. freēwebnovel.com
However, Aphrodite is a fifteen-star Follower Card, and her Special Summon can only last for one turn; she returns to the deck at the end of the turn.
Wait, why can Cupid Special Summon Aphrodite? Shouldn’t it be Venus? Are they even from the same Divine System? Even if Aphrodite can really be Special Summoned, shouldn’t it be Eros doing it?
Shen Sui originally wanted to吐槽 out loud, but considering his own meager mythology knowledge, he quietly shut his mouth.
Louise activated Aphrodite’s effect: once per turn, flip cards from the top of the deck one by one until the next card has the same type as the previous one; add all those cards to the hand and waive their cost.
Of course, even though this is a fifteen-star Main God Card, her effect isn’t so broken that it lets Louise deck herself out; by this effect she can add at most five Life Cards to her hand. But that’s already an insanely strong effect.
Relying on Aphrodite’s effect, Louise added the four flipped Life Cards to her hand.
She then Normal Summoned two cost-waived Follower Cards she had just added to her hand onto the field, and afterward activated the effect of [War God Ares] in her hand, tributing three [God] Followers on the field to Normal Summon [War God Ares] from her hand.
