Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1142

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142 – The Altar of the Gods

"Absorb Shield Wing!"

The massive spider-woman unleashed silk, binding the Shield Wing and dragging it toward herself, absorbing it as an equip.

Akiza was shocked: "Such a powerful effect?"

Impressive!

Rudger laughed: "Twice-per-turn battle immunity—Shield Wing is indeed formidable. I bet you wanted to keep it around for a Tribute or Synchro next turn, didn’t you? But that won’t happen before the power of the underworld!"

He continued, "Also, due to ’Spider Web,’ Underground Arachnid is now forced into Defense Position after attacking."

[Underground Arachnid, DEF 1200]

He finished by setting two more backrow cards.

"Set two cards, end turn."

Akiza covered her mouth, a bit worried. "Goodwin..."

Yusei noticed her concern and reassured her, "Don’t worry. I’ve seen Rex Goodwin duel—he’s strong."

Akiza nodded.

She knew, perhaps better than anyone, that this man’s strength might surpass everyone present.

"He’s the only one truly suited to face the Dark Signers’ boss."

"My turn, draw."

Kira revealed the card he’d drawn.

"Activate Spell Card ’Take Over 5’: send the top five cards of your Deck to the GY."

He quickly sent five cards to the graveyard.

"One card sent is ’Learning Elf’—which lets me draw one card when sent to the graveyard."

He drew an extra card.

"Next, Normal Summon ’Phantom Skyblaster’!"

A classic little devil from the GX dimension appeared, flapping impish wings.

[Phantom Skyblaster, ATK 1100]

"On Summon, depending on how many monsters I have, I can summon that many ’Skyblaster Tokens.’ Since I have one, I get one token."

[Skyblaster Token, ATK 500]

Kira eyed Rudger’s field—his spider had stolen Shield Wing.

...Heh, I’m familiar with monsters that equip others. I have my own methods.

"Activate face-down Continuous Trap ’Ultimate Offering’!"

Kira flipped his backrow.

"’Ultimate Offering’ can be used during my Main Phase or your Battle Phase. I can pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon an additional monster this turn."

[Kira, LP 4000 → 3500]

"’Phantom Skyblaster’ and ’Skyblaster Token’ are tributed! Advance Summon—a Level 8 Planet Series monster—

—The Big Saturn!!!"

With a rumble, a titanic altar rose behind him.

"While this card is on the field, during each of my Standby Phases, for every face-up Defense Position monster on both sides, this card gets a ’Earthbound Immortal Counter’."

"Currently, with ’The Big Saturn’ and ’Underground Arachnid’ in Defense, that’s two counters."

Two balls of purple-black fire danced atop the altar.

Rudger sneered: "Once this altar accumulates four or more counters, I can send it to the Graveyard to Special Summon an ’Earthbound Immortal’ from my hand or Deck!"

Everyone was shocked.

"I see," said Yusei.

"So that’s why Spider Web forces everything into Defense—it’s not just to stall, but to set up for the Earthbound Immortal’s arrival."

Akiza nodded: "He can block attacks, build up counters, and even Special Summon from the Deck. That solves the problem of drawing Earthbound Immortals..."

Jack added, "Since Earthbound Immortals can’t be affected by Spells or Traps, they won’t be forced into Defense by the field. After they attack, only Goodwin would be bound by the field’s restrictions—plus Earthbound Immortals can ignore monsters and attack players directly."

Leo: "Won’t that leave Big Brother Goodwin in dire straits!?"

Having seen the Earthbound Immortals for themselves, all of them felt the pressure, even while the god itself had yet to appear.

"Correct, this altar is your countdown to defeat," Rudger declared.

"Once the counters are full and the Immortal descends, your loss is all but certain!"
