Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: The Truth About Earthbound

Unconsciously, Greiger’s grip on the Duel Runner’s handle tightened.

Total Annihilation.

Dark Flattop and SKY FIRE—his proudest ace combo—were wiped out so casually.

A trap activated from the hand—one pit nested inside another in an endless chain of pits.

Even if he couldn’t analyze it as clearly as Yusei, Greiger now realized his every move had been anticipated, leaving him thoroughly played by his opponent.

If this had been before he became a Dark Signer, facing such a duelist, Greiger would have truly admired them, admitting defeat to superior skill—the strongest he’d ever met.

But this was not a friendly match. This was a duel for life and vengeance!

"I must win. No matter what—I must win, even if it means selling my soul!"

Greiger roared.

"Activate set card!

Trap Card, ’Contaminated Earth’!" (Anime card)

"Contaminated Earth can only be activated in a turn where two or more of your own Level 5+ monsters were destroyed." Greiger raised his arm. "From hand, deck, or grave, you can Special Summon a monster with ’Earthbound Immortal’ in its name!"

(For clarification: Greiger specified "Level 5+ monsters" in his explanation. Technically, the Dark Synchro Flattop is Level -8, not 5+, but in the anime, Contaminated Earth triggers if both SKY FIRE and Flattop are destroyed. Since it’s a custom Dark Signer card, its rulings clearly allow the combo.)

"Earthbound Immortal?!"

Yusei and Jack, hearing this for the first time, were both shocked. The next moment, they clutched their arms—the Red Dragon Mark burning with pain.

Their anxiety also peaked in that instant.

The Nazca Lines appeared in the duel zone’s air, and a pair of purple-black whale fins split the darkness. In that instant, the sky seemed to twist into a dark purple cornea; as Earthbound Immortal’s body broke free, it looked less like a creature, more like a moving mountain.

Like a gigantic whale from myth, even reality seemed to wrinkle as it swayed its tail. Its wail pierced space and time, with materialized shockwaves rattling heaven and earth.

[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua, ATK 2900]

The god-like pressure—cosmic darkness—shook Yusei and Jack to their cores. They had never seen such a terrifying monster.

Are there really such terrifying beasts in this world?

"Wait, there’s...something inside that monster."

Frowning, Yusei scrutinized the Earthbound Immortal.

Though it was only a flash, he seemed to glimpse a human face inside the immense body of the Earthbound.

The face of a child.

"The Earthbound Immortal are the true aces of the Dark Signers. Be honored to meet your end at the hands of a god, Goodwin!" Greiger howled.

"Go, Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua! Attack Goodwin directly!!"

Every Earthbound Immortal ignores your defenses, attacking directly no matter what monsters you control. With ATK typically near 3000, in a 4000-LP format, direct attacks from these titans are devastating.

Notably, in the anime, Earthbound Immortal also had universal immunity: unaffected by any spell/trap effects, making them far stronger than TCG versions.

Their one fatal weakness is the field. True to their name, Earthbound Immortal are bound spirits—if a field spell isn’t present, they self-destruct.
