Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: What Did You Just Summon?

Angel O7, summoned!

Gekko: "While Angel O7 is on the field, all monsters you control cannot activate their effects!" (Original effect)

So that’s its original effect, Kira realized.

He only remembered the real card’s effect, which was even stricter: it blocks all monster effects, no matter where they are. But the real card is a double-edged sword—it mutes both players. In the manga, it only mutes the opponent.

Also, the real card only works if Tribute Summoned, but here, even Special Summon works.

If the summoning conditions are easier, this kind of lockdown becomes scary.

"That’s Mr. Gekko’s ace..." Misawa gulped. "It’s very strong. But its ATK still isn’t enough to beat Black Luster Soldier."

But Gekko cut him off: "I activate the Spell Card Allure of Darkness—draw two cards, then banish a DARK monster from my hand."

Gekko drew two cards.

"Then I banish the DARK ’Belial - Marquis of Darkness’ from my hand."

He held up a card, and it vanished into a swirling black vortex.

"But then I activate the Equip Spell ’D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation’!" Gekko said. "By discarding a card, I can Special Summon a banished monster in Attack Position!"

He discarded a card.

"So, I revive ’Belial - Marquis of Darkness’!"

The dimensional vortex opened again, and a marquis with dark wings descended from the darkness, wielding a huge black sword as black feathers floated down.

[Belial - Marquis of Darkness, ATK 2800]

Also one of the key monsters for both Tenma brothers in the manga.

"And I’m not done. Now I banish these two Rock-type monsters from my hand—’Dogu’ and ’The Rock Spirit’!"

As the two Rock monsters vanished into the vortex, the duel arena’s ground split open. Enormous rocks exploded up, deafening crashes, and then a giant figure slowly emerged.

A giant made of stone, emanating a cold and unyielding aura. It stood tall, towering into the clouds.

Earth Giant - Gaia Plate, summoned!

[Gaia Plate the Earth Giant, ATK 2800]

Kira looked over, surprised.

But considering Gekko is one of the heads of the world’s leading card company, maybe it’s not surprising he has all sorts of rare cards.

"This is my full power!"

Gekko shouted.

"First, Gaia, attack ’Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning’!"

Alexis gasped: "Attacking with a lower-ATK monster? There must be a trick..."

"Gaia’s effect: The monster it battles has its ATK halved during damage calculation!"

[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, ATK 3000 → 1500]

The stone giant’s punch was earth-shaking. Black Luster Soldier’s shield was shattered, and he disappeared in golden light.

[Kira, LP 2000 → LP 700]

"’Angel O7’, direct attack!" Gekko called.

He still had two big monsters left for direct attacks. Victory seemed close.

But, just as his brother Yako had once experienced when victory seemed at hand, Gekko felt this attack wouldn’t go through so easily.

Kira: "I activate my set card: Quick-Play Spell—Scapegoat.

I Special Summon four ’Sheep Tokens’ for defense."

[Sheep Token, DEF 0] x4

As expected.

Gekko frowned slightly.
