Chapter 600: Can You Still Print Another Card of Sanctity?
Dark clouds rolled up in the interior of the temple, and thunderstorms fell from the sky. The golden lightning cracked the floor and exploded the golden floor tiles. The steel-like red dragon flew down on the lightning and raised its head with an earth-shaking roar.
Osiris the Sky Dragon!
At the same time, a beam of light rose from the ground, as if a blue fountain broke through the floor tiles and broke through the ground, rushing high into the sky. The indomitable blue giant emerged from the ground like a mountain rising from the ground, sand, stone, and dust rolling down from his body, the spectacular scene was like a landslide.
Obelisk the Tormentor!
[Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK 1000]
[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]
The onlookers in the audience were dumbfounded.
"Are you kidding me?" Jonouchi said in shock, "Restricted to only two summoning opportunities by the 'Summon Limit', yet still be able to summon two gods in one turn!?"
Although they expected that Yami Yugi from three thousand years ago might be very powerful… wasn't this too outrageous?
Everyone looked at the figure again – an expressionless and resolute face, with a shining golden eye appearing on his forehead. The arrival of the Egyptian God stirred up a hurricane, his cloak undulated like ocean waves, and the Millennium Puzzle shone with brilliant light.
Just like an invincible god of war.
The Pharaoh gave the order to attack, which was like a clarion call to charge.
"Obelisk the Tormentor, attack 'Masked Hero Dark Law'."
[Masked HERO Dark Law, ATK 2800]
Although Dark Law was powerful, his ability was more focused on interfering with the opponent rather than fighting head-on. Even though his attack power was increased by 400 points by the "Forbidden Chalice", he was still far from being a match for the God of Destruction.
Obelisk raised his fist, and the waves of shattering by the divine fist came in a mighty way. The heavy punch shattered the armor on the hero's chest. His armor cracked and black metal debris flew everywhere.

"Osiris, attack!" The Pharaoh continued, "Super Conductive Wave Thunder Cannon!"
The sky dragon opened its mouth, targeting the remaining hero on Yuei Vu's field, the Disk Commander. The strong light of the superconducting wave surged and gathered in the dragon's mouth, ready to come out at any time.
The sky dragon's attack power was only 1000, but it was more than enough to destroy the Disk Commander acting as a wall. Then there was a Dark Magician on the Pharaoh's field who had not attacked, and Yuei Vu only had 1000 LP left. The magician's blow would directly seal his defeat.
In just a blink of an eye, he has reached the critical moment of life and death again!
"Yuei Vu!" Yugi Muto called out worriedly.
Yuei Vu's eyes narrowed like a cat's eyes when exposed to bright light.
While Pharaoh's "Turn Jump" just paved the way for his "Summoning Clock", it also triggered the conditions for the activation of the trap on his side!
"Open the set card!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "Continuous Trap – Ground Erosion!" (Animation Card)
Pharaoh said coldly: "Traps won't work on God."
"No, this trap will." Yuei Vu shouted, "Send this trap card to the graveyard to select 1 of the opponent's Monster Card Zones. The monster in the selected Monster Card Zone has its special effects sealed away!"
The ground softened like soft soil washed away by heavy rain all night long. The sky dragon's huge body suddenly sank in. It shook its head at the giant god soldier and screamed as if it was shouting——
——Brother, save me!
But Obelisk… he just stood on the side as if it had nothing to do with him as if he didn't see it.
[Osiris the Sky Dragon, ATK 1000 → ATK 0]
"Huh? Aren't trap cards useless against gods?" Honda, a layman, expressed doubts again.
So the trap master Yugi Muto patiently explained to his friends: "The target of the 'Ground Erosion' is the Monster Card Zone on the field, not the god, and the effect of any monster in that zone will be negated.
This card is equivalent to using the card's effect to change the rules in the Monster Card Zone. It is not the trap card itself that negates the Egyptian God effect, but the new rules that apply to the Monster Card Zone, so it is effective on gods. "
Ground Erosion was originally a trap card used by Yugi Muto to deal with the three Egyptian Gods in the final battle of the DM animation.
Originally, Yuei Vu planned to save this trap to seal Obelisk's ability—whether the opponent used "Hyper God Energy" to make Obelisk's attack power become infinite, or "Soul Energy MAX" to directly destroy all monsters and give 4000 points of damage, it could be resisted with this trap.
But unexpectedly, the Pharaoh did not choose to use the ability of Obelisk but directly chose to attack. So in order to save his life, he could only use this trap against the sky dragon.
In the ending chapter of the animation, many people think that the use of this "Ground Erosion" to negate the god's effect was a BISS, but in fact, it was not, because the description of the effect of this card in the animation actually makes sense.
The Egyptian God was only immune to "card effects", not to the effects of rules.
However, when he saw Yuei Vu reveal this trap, Yugi Muto felt secretly stirred up in his heart.
Because this trap happened to be the card that he had imagined could be used to deal with the Egyptian God!
As expected, the strongest duelists have something in common regarding card selection and tactical understanding.
Now Yugi Muto believed more and more in his heart that Yuei Vu, like himself, had a mature strategy against the Three Egyptian Gods, and there was even a faint sense of resonance in his heart when he met a duelist of the same type and style.
However, he didn't know that it was none other than him who taught Yuei Vu how to use "Ground Erosion" to seal the power of the Egyptian God…
The poor Sky Dragon's effect was sealed, and it was even defeated against the Disk Commander whose DEF was only 300. The Disk Commander threw back two Frisbees with his backhand, and hit the sky dragon's head twice, causing a terrifying amount of damage – up to 300 points.

[The Nameless Pharaoh, LP 2000 → LP 1700]
"Then the attack of the Dark Magician." He was not angry at all. "Attack Disk Commander again! Black Magic Attack!"
The magician's staff danced, and the torrent of black magic destroyed the Disk Commander from the front. The poor Destiny HERO briefly reached the peak of his life and then exited in a hurry as usual.
But in this way, Yuei Vu managed to withstand Pharaoh's fierce offensive this round. To be honest, the audience in the audience felt sweating for Yuei Vu.
Once again, Jonouchi couldn't help but feel that if he were himself, it would be absolutely difficult for him to withstand the opponent's successive fierce attacks-just kidding.
The Egyptian God is jumping out for free, who can stand this?
He couldn't even help but feel that Yuei Vu, who could stand on this duel field and still fight back with ease, was an out-and-out monster too!
Yuei Vu let out a sigh of relief.
Blocking such a series of fierce attacks in succession put a lot of pressure on him, not to mention the desperate pressure of facing two Egyptian Gods at the same time.
His eyes fell on the last remaining stone slab in front of the Pharaoh.
But in this way, on the Pharaoh's hand… if it could be called a hand, there was only the last one left. This meant that the other party's available resources were almost exhausted.
Of course, Yuei Vu said that he has seen more than one case like that, and an experienced card player like himself would definitely not make some weird flags, such as "Can you still print another Card of Sanctity to refill resources?" or something like that…
…
…Can you still print another Card of Sanctity to refill resources?
The Pharaoh: If you don't want me to print it, I won't print it. Who cares?
"The spell 'Monster Recovery'." The Pharaoh calmly showed the last slab.
Yuei Vu: "…"
Fuck me!
Needless to say, all the card effects that forced the monster to leave the field were invalid against the gods, so the Egyptian Gods on the Pharaoh's field didn't need to be shuffled back, only "Dark Magician" would return to the deck.
Forget about the Giant God Soldier, what surprised Yuei Vu was that the sky dragon whose effect was nullified was not shuffled back into the deck. It seems that even if the special effect is nullified, its resistance as a god is still there.
Yuei Vu thought for a while and probably figured out the reason.
In the original animation, there were card shots of the three Egyptian Gods. The monster effects above did not clearly state that "the Egyptian Gods are not affected by trap effects, and magic cards are effective for one turn."
According to the original work, the Egyptian God's resistance to card effects belongs to the innate power, which was equivalent to a law rather than a monster effect and could not be negated in any case.
To explain it with the real card rules that players were more familiar with, it means that God's effect resistance belongs to "extra-rule text" and could not negated with cards that negated monster effects.
But even so, the attack power of the Sky Dragon left on the field was only 0, and the ability to call "Summon Thunder Bullet" was also sealed, which made it seem useless and become a shortcoming.
"Place two stone slabs on the field." The Pharaoh said, "This round is over."
