Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Chapter 844: Chapter 817: Dream

Originally, Yugen thought the Jade from the animation and the physical card were quite similar, but it seems his memory was a bit off.

However, the biggest difference is that all Jade Beasts in the animation are physically limited to one—after all, each one is a rare treasure salvaged from a sunken merchant ship. Since they are rare treasures, there naturally can’t be a second.

Obviously, the impact of this is significant. There are only seven Jade Beasts, and John didn’t even have the Rainbow Dragon at first, which means his entire card deck could really only use those seven Jade Beasts.

Even with a minimum standard of forty cards per deck, there were only seven Monster Cards in all.

Yet John used such a Jade Beast card deck to go through various battles, and not once in any duel did he fail to draw a monster, never experiencing a hand accident. Just this alone is enough to prove his deep bond with the Jade Beasts.

If we were to bring a character’s card deck into reality, this Jade Beast might not be much more practical than Judai’s Elemental Heroes.

"Gathering four Jade Beasts on the field in one go," said Keihei, "John Anderson really has mastered the use of the Jade Card Deck to his will."

"Of course."

Beckas crossed his arms, smiling approvingly.

"The bond between John Boy and his monsters is definitely of a rare level." freёwebnoѵel.com

"And because this turn ’Jade Beast - Jade Turtle’ and ’Jade Beast - Red Jade Beast’ have been placed in the Magic Trap Zone, a total of two Jade Beasts.

Therefore, the Continuous Magic ’Treasure Pearl Tree’ gains two gemstone counters!"

[Treasure Pearl Tree, Gemstone Counters: 0→2]

The dark Treasure Pearl Tree glowing on two branches, each like blooming flowers, bore two crystalline gemstones.

"And the activation of the Super Gravity Net failed, so the attack lock is no longer in effect," John chuckled. "Sorry, Mr. Yugen, but I’m going all out now.

Go! Jade Beast - Amber Mammoth, attack the face-down covered monster!"

The Mammoth roared, causing the ground to shake and dust to fly as it charged, its long trunk whipping like a whip, flipping over Yugen’s cover card to reveal the true nature of the hidden monster.

A strange-looking monster with Medusa-like chaotic tentacle hair, appearing frail but was actually resilient enough to endure the Mammoth’s charge, as if running into a steadfast bamboo stalk.

The bamboo bent backward from the impact but quickly rebounded, causing the Mammoth to stagger back.

[Secret Ceremony Power 0 - The Fool, Defense Power: 0]

"A nice counter, but unfortunately," Yugen smiled slightly, "the monster I covered is ’Secret Ceremony Power 0 - The Fool.’

The Fool is a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle."

Keihei was taken aback seeing The Fool and instinctively looked up at the top of its head, surprised to find it empty.

"Wait, don’t Secret Ceremony Power monsters require card rotation or coin toss to determine different effects based on its orientation during summoning?

Why doesn’t Yugen’s Secret Ceremony Power have a card on top of its head..."

President Beckas, the Father of Duel Monsters, patiently explained: "Because Secret Ceremony Power only requires card rotation to determine its orientation upon successful normal, special, or flip summoning.

However, if it’s set face-down and then flipped due to an opponent’s attack, it’s neither a normal, special, nor flip summon."

"I see." Keihei realized. ƒrēewebnovel.com

He learned for the first time that Secret Ceremony Power had such an intricate detail.

So, the Fool currently on Yugen’s field, flipped by John’s attack, doesn’t have either the upright effect or the reversed effect, only its inherent resistance to being destroyed by battle, just like an undying cockroach, the strongest shield.

It’s almost like a form of attack lock in disguise.

"A monster invincible in battle huh...even with more summons and attacks, it would be pointless." John said, "Well, my battle phase is over.

But my turn isn’t finished yet."

He drew the Magic Card from his Duel Disc’s backfield zone, holding it up for display.

"The subsequent effect of Continuous Magic ’Treasure Pearl Tree.’

You must send this card with gemstone counters on it to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Based on the number of ’gemstone counters’ on it, place that many ’Jade Beast’ Monsters from the deck as Continuous Magic Cards in your own Magic Trap Zone!"

After displaying the card, he sent the magic to the Graveyard. The peculiar tree on the field emitted a dazzling red light, enveloping it entirely before it fragmented into light points and vanished.

With two gemstone counters on it when sent to the Graveyard, I can select two more Jade Beasts from the card deck as Continuous Magic Cards to place in my backfield.

John drew from his card deck, once more initiating a search.

Then he pulled out two Monster Cards, showcased them, and inserted them into his Duel Disc’s magic trap slot.

"Come on!

Jade Beast - Cobalt Crystal Eagle!

Jade Beast - Yellow Jade Tiger!"

This time, a blue and a yellow gemstone, along with the fleeting shadows of a hawk and tiger, flashed in the backfield, then quickly disappeared, transforming into two gemstones silently placed in John’s backfield.

"In just one turn, six out of the seven great Jade Beasts have been gathered." Yugen nodded approvingly, "Strong offense, trap countermeasures, and maintaining such high efficiency. Impressive."

"Ahaha, not really."

John scratched his head bashfully.

"I’m going to get conceited if you praise me like that..."

Even Beckas had a slight lift at the corner of his lips: "Interesting. John Boy knows well what his goal is in this duel."

"Huh?" Keihei looked on in confusion.

"According to legend, the ultimate Jade God, the Divine Beast, only appears when all seven great Jade Beasts are gathered, so based on our current understanding of the summoning conditions, all seven Jade Beasts should be necessary for the Rainbow Dragon to appear."

"I see now!"

Keihei understood, looking again at the colorful gems and monsters on John’s field.

"That’s why he went all out to gather so many Jade Beasts on his first turn. Amazing...so amazing..."

John rubbed his nose happily, saying with a big grin,

"Alright, now we’re basically close to completion. The Rainbow Dragon is my lifelong dream.

This duel must absolutely awaken the Rainbow Dragon!"
