Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: The Will to Break Despair

At this moment, Paradox was already facing a dire situation.

With Archlord Kristya on the field, neither player could perform Special Summons. For his "Malefic" deck, this was basically a death sentence. Most of his monsters had now become nothing but dead cards in his hand—completely unusable.

His only ace in the hole, the "Skill Drain" trap, was now sealed away by Royal Decree, along with all of his other backrow traps, rendering them completely unusable.

However, today this time traveler was perhaps destined to learn a painful lesson: there is no "worst," only "worse."

Whenever you think things have hit rock bottom, you must steadfastly believe—

—Things can always get worse.

"Battle Phase ends. Entering Main Phase 2."

Kira slowly drew two more cards from his hand and set them down nonchalantly.

"I’ll set two more cards face-down."

Paradox eyed Kira’s backrow warily.

More backrow. But with Royal Decree on the field, all traps are nullified. This is the same condition for both players, right? No matter how many cards Kira sets, Royal Decree will lock his own traps as well—he can’t activate any of them.

Is this to prepare for the possibility that Decree gets removed, or the formation gets broken?

Thinking of this, Paradox felt even more troubled.

This damned Duel King—his current setup already seemed insurmountable, yet he was still preparing his next move, playing so cautiously. For what?

But he couldn’t worry about the distant future; the current board was already giving him a headache.

The next moment, however, Kira revealed another bright red trap card from his hand, smiling warmly.

"The effect of ’Makyura the Destructor’ is still active this turn. For this turn only, I can still activate trap cards from my hand. So, I’ll activate this card, Continuous Trap—

—Imperial Order!"

The entire field erupted in an uproar.

Imperial Order! Alongside Decree, the two great "Royal" lockdowns!

"Imperial Order is similar to Royal Decree," Kira explained. "While Order is on the field, all Spell Card effects are negated!"

One locks traps, one locks spells. With both, all spell and trap tactics are completely and utterly shut down.

Paradox was shocked, but immediately barked out: "Are you crazy!?

Imperial Order itself is a Continuous Trap—won’t it be negated by Royal Decree?!"

This is a contradiction!

"No," Kira smiled. "This is exactly why the ’Splendid Venus’ from the Planet Series is needed.

While ’Splendid Venus’ is on the field, all Spell and Trap Cards you control—their activation and effects—cannot be negated!" (Anime effect.)

Paradox’s pupils contracted. He immediately looked up at Venus.

Splendid Venus has that ability?

So that means...

"Exactly," Kira squinted. "As long as Venus is on the field, Order can’t be negated by Decree, nor can Decree be negated by Order.

So I can freely use any Spell or Trap Card—these two won’t negate each other."

He paused, then smiled.

"Of course, Venus only grants this immunity to its controller’s Spells and Traps. As for you..."

He didn’t finish the sentence.

But Paradox’s body had already started to tremble slightly.

Not from fear, but from pure anger.

Damn it!

Now he fully understood the setup Kira had established.

Archlord Kristya locked Special Summons, which for a Malefic deck basically meant no monsters.

Imperial Order sealed Spells, Royal Decree sealed Traps. Splendid Venus made sure they didn’t conflict, turning all the locks into a one-sided lockdown.
