-Chapter 179: Countdown For Destruction: Deity of The Present, Part 2-
Wolfgang smiled, knowing he had Dan at his finger tips. "Now! I activate Deity of The Past's ability!" Wolfgang yelled.
"That's right.." Daniel thought.
"Now you must discard a trap, magic, and monster card from your deck!" Wolfgang said.
Daniel once again took out his deck, searching. He then chose Big Shield Guardna, Trap Level 4, and Emergency Provisions, discarding them to his graveyard.
"If I keep on throwing out cards I won't be doing any good, I'll have to risk some good cards." Daniel thought, fearing his deck will get too small.
"If I know right, Dan has Raise Dead in his hand, he'll bring back Y Dragon Head which he destroyed, use De-Fusion on his XY Caterpillar Cannon and then it'll be a good fight." Wolfgang thought. "But he doesn't know my plan."
"Well I've discarded those cards." Daniel said.
"Finally, I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Wolfgang announced.
"End his turn?" Daniel thought. "He had me, why didn't he attack?"
Both players were battling hard, Wolfgang's Deity monsters were unusual, but strong. Wolfgang's life points remained at 1600 while Dan's life points stood at 3900. Wolfgang seemed he purposely took a beating, just to psyche Dan out.
"It's your move, my friend." Wolfgang said.
"Draw..." Daniel announce, drawing his card. "Now! You're Deity of The Past will pay for what you've done to my mind! Now, I activate this..."
"Yes, bring it baby." Wolfgang smiled.
"Move Dead!" Daniel yelled, placing the magic card onto the field.
"Damn..." Wolfgang growled, looking over at his Elimination Box.
"By playing this, I can return a monster to my hand, and the monster I chose is Y Dragon Head! Also, I'll summon it to the field! (1500/1300)" Daniel yelled as the red metal dragon appeared onto the field. "Also, I'll add this, De-Fusion! Using it on my XZ Caterpillar Cannon, it will return back to X Head Cannon and Z Metal Caterpillar!"
"No..." Wolfgang growled.
"Now! I remove X Head Cannon, Y Dragon Head, and Z Metal Caterpillar from play to bring forth XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)" Daniel yelled as all three machines combined into one. Wolfgang took a step back, growling, knowing his plans were predicted wrong and he was about to pay for it. "Now! I'll activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's effect, by discarding a card, I'll force it to automatically destroy your Deity of The Past!"
"Damn..." Wolfgang growled as Dan slipped a card from his hand, into his graveyard. Instantly, the giant machine pointed it's cannons at the woman, firing a giant torpedo, destroying it easily.
"Now! XYZ Dragon Cannon, attack and destroy his Deity of Eden!" Daniel commanded, pointing is hand at the man with the bow and arrow.
The machine pointed it's cannons toward the man, firing a bunch of missiles at it and destroying it, reducing Wolfgang's life points to 600.
Wolfgang growled with anger. "No one defeats my Deity easily...." He said. "Now! Reveal trap card, Breaker of Death!"
"No...." Daniel growled.
"As you know, this trap card revives a light monster from my graveyard which has been destroyed, so now! I bring back Deity of The Past! (2500/1700)" Wolfgang announced as the woman reappeared onto the field.
"Err..." Daniel growled.
"Continue your turn now!" Wolfgang said, angered by his monster's defeat.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn..." Daniel announced.
"I need this more than ever!" Wolfgang yelled, drawing his next card. Suddenly Deity of The Past began to glow even more as Wolfgang looked at his card. "Now! I activate this, Cost Down! Reducing all monsters in my hand by two levels!"
"No..." Daniel thought.
"Now! I bring forth... Deity of The Present! (2500/1700)" Wolfgang announced as a yellow orb appeared, turning into a woman, similar to Deity of The Past.
"That means there's one more..." Daniel thought.
Wolfgang smiled. All of his cards in his hands have been used for a good cause, and now Daniel would pay a lot. "My turn ends." Wolfgang said.
"Draw!" Daniel announced.
"Now! The effects of both my Deity's activate!" Wolfgang yelled as Deity of The Past began to glow. "So discard a monster, magic, and trap card from your deck!"
Daniel once again took out his deck, discarding De-Spell, Jigsaw, and Buster Blader. "Now what does his other Deity do..." Daniel wondered.
"Now you must destroy one card on your side of the field. You have a choice of either your face down card, or XYZ Dragon Cannon" Wolfgang explained, smiling.
"For this, I chose to destroy my face down card!" Daniel yelled as his face down card flipped up.
"Wise choice. Mirror Force is destroyed." Wolfgang smiled. Dan felt no guilt over his lost and he continued his turn.
"Now! I discard Jar of Greed from my hand to destroy your Deity of The Present!" Daniel yelled.
"Activate trap card!" Wolfgang announced as the XYZ Dragon Cannon unleashed a missile. "Interdimensional Matter Transporter!"
"No!" Daniel gasped as a device appeared, making the Deity disappear, missing the missile.
"THis trap card will bring back my Deity at the end of your turn." Wolfgang smiled, pointing at Daniel.
"No problem..." Daniel said. "XYZ Dragon Cannon, attack and destroy his Deity of The Past!"
The machine fired multiple missiles at the woman, destroying her and reducing Wolfgang's life points to 300.
Wolfgang growled, feeling another burst of fire toward him by the attack. Wolfgang fell to his knee, suddenly three black orbs fell out of his coat pocket. "What are those..." Daniel thought.
Wolfgang smiled, quickly picking them up. Dan could feel a rage of emotions from the sight of those black orbs. "You're probably wondering what these are..." Wolfgang smiled.
"They're...." Daniel said, feeling a familiar presence of his friends.
"Yes... Mink, Jessica, and Kai. All trapped in these because they've lost to the power to the Carnal of God." Wolfgang said. "You will soon join them."
"No..." Daniel growled.
"They were weak and even you knew that." Wolfgang smiled. "Because of what's happening now, is representing my Deity of The Present. It is your blame for their disappearance."
"Your lying." Daniel smirked. "My friends are powerful. You and your team easily led them from each other. Without each other, we grow weak. But together we're unstoppable."
"Then tell me, why aren't any of your friends here?" Wolfgang smiled.
Suddenly Daniel gasped, realizing that Paul and Allen are in trouble.
"Oh yes. We cannot forget the battle, a year and a half ago." Wolfgang smiled. "You were never able to beat Vice."
"Wolfgang, I've never lost a battle I played fairly!" Daniel yelled. "I don't plan to lose!"
"Then allow me to break your title of King of Games!" Wolfgang laughed, drawing his next card. "Now! I activate Carnal of God!"
Suddenly a dark fog began to move in. "Err..." Daniel growled, looking around him.
"I bring forth my Diabound Curses!" Wolfgang yelled as five creatures with a giant snake for their lower body and a normal looking human body. "I'll then summon my first Diabound Curse! (1800/1200) My turn ends!"
"Now! Deity of The Present will destroy the only card on your field! XYZ Dragon Cannon!" Wolfgang yelled with veins popping out of his neck.
"I don't think so!" Daniel yelled. "Activate magic card, Worm Slip!"
"No!" Wolfgang growled as Deity of The Present fired an energy blast but the worm slip took in the machine, saving it.
"Now my machine is safe for one more turn!" Daniel yelled.
"Impossible..." Wolfgang growled.
"See, with confidence, I can do the impossible!" Daniel smiled.
"That was just pure luck. But it seems your field is empty and I'm able to attack your life points directly." Wolfgang smiled.
"I'll set my final card face down and end my turn!" Daniel announced.
"Draw!" Wolfgang yelled, drawing his next card. "Now! Deity of The Present, attack his life points directly!"
The Deity fire a energy orb right at Daniel but he smirked. "Activate magic card! Shrink!" Daniel announced as his magic card flipped up. "This will reduce your Deity's attack power by half!"
Wolfgang growled as the energy orb reduced size, smacking into Daniel. Daniel let out a gasp of pain as his life points reduced to 2650.
"Finally, Diabound Curse, attack his life points directly!" Wolfgang called out. The creature fired a fire ball at him. Daniel let out a scream as the attack was practically real. The force reduced his life points to 850. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
Daniel drew his next card, smiling. "Now my XYZ Dragon Cannon returns to the field!" Daniel announced as his machine appeared.
Daniel knew Wolfgang was hiding a trap card on his field. The card he drew was his key point of the game in order to defeat Wolfgang.
"Finally, I'll activate this, Boundful Magic which allows me to exchange a trap card from my deck with a magic card in my graveyard and put it in my hand!" Daniel announced, taking Negate Attack from his deck and sliding it into his graveyard slot while it gave him Card Sanctity, placing it in his hand. "Now! I activate Card Sanctity!"
"Here we go." Wolfgang smiled, drawing his six while Dan did the same.
"Now's the time, Wolfgang!" Daniel yelled as he held up a card. "This one card will lead me to victory!"
"Well then let's see it!" Wolfgang laughed.
"Activate magic card, Raise Dead!" Daniel announced, placing the card onto the field. The ankh appeared onto the field, blowing. Suddenly the Elimination Box exploded.
"What the?!" Daniel said, in shock.
"Excellent!" Wolfgang laughed. "You remember my Elimination Box... Well It's been activated because you used Raise Dead. Yes! The card I kept inside the Elimination Box was none other than Raise Dead!"
"No!" Daniel gasped.
"And since you've activated your own Raise Dead, I am finally allowed to use it! Now I bring forth Deity of The Past! (2500/1700)" Wolfgang announced as the same Deity reappeared to the field.
Suddenly Daniel smiled. "Now! I activate this, Legacy of Revival!" Daniel announced.
"What?!" Wolfgang said in shock.
"It was obvious that you placed Raise Dead into your Elimination Box. A few turns back I used Move Dead to bring Y Dragon Head back to my hand. The expression on your face was priceless. So I placed up a substitute to cancel out your Elimination Box, allowing you to summon once again your Deity!" Daniel explained as his Legacy of Revival stood glowing.
"So what does that card do..." Wolfgang growled.
"It allows me to bring back a monster from my graveyard, to my hand for each special summoned monster on your side of the field." Daniel said. "And since you have one, Deity of The Past, I'll return Buster Blader to my hand!"
"What? Not Death Volstargaf?" Wolfgang smiled.
"Yes, I've actually figured out why I've been feeling so far from that card. It's because it was trying to tell me I have other needs than it. It may be my favorite card, but it is not the strongest. It egged me on to use others." Daniel said. "So I've made a pact to never use it again!"
"Impossible!" Wolfgang growled.
"Yes! My turn isn't over yet. Now! I activate Fusion Supply!" Daniel announced. "This magic card allows me to Special Summon the fusion material monsters of XYZ Dragon Cannon to the field! So now I bring back X Head Cannon (1800/1500), Y Dragon Head (1500/1300), and Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1300)"
"No..." Wolfgang growled.
"Finally, I'll sacrifice Y Dragon Head and Z Metal Caterpillar to summon Buster Blader! (2600/2100)" Daniel announced as the warrior appeared on the field. "I could end this duel right now. But I'd like to start over from the beginning for ever using Death Volstargaf." Daniel said, holding up another card. "Now! I remove XYZ Dragon Cannon and Buster Blader from play to fuse them!"
"Fusing XYZ Dragon Cannon and Buster Blader together?!" Wolfgang said.
"Exactly!" Daniel yelled as the machine began to transform. The machine slowly pressed together, forming a suit. Buster Blader's armor began to come apart, revealing a human being, slipping into the suit of XYZ Dragon Cannon.
His sword disappeared but as his armor attached, cannons rose up on his shoulders and arms. "I've created Buster Cannon Soldier! (3000/3000)" Daniel announced as the soldier stood there. "Now! I activate it's effect!"
Suddenly a army of missile fired out of the soldier, bringing chaos to the battle ground, destroying everything. Wolfgang growled as his Diabound Curse jumped back with the other Diabound Curses. His Deity of The Past and Present were instantly destroyed, along with his face down card.
"It's effect destroys everything on the field but himself. It also forces us to discard our entire hands." Daniel explained, sliding his remaining card into his graveyard.
Wolfgang growled, knowing he had been pushed back far in this duel. "You little..." Wolfgang growled. "I won't lose to such a sap like you..."
"You've been messing with the wrong force, Wolfgang. And I see to it you pay!" Daniel growled, ending his turn.
Wolfgang drew his next card. "I'd be so happy to even see you struggle to bring me down, now that I've drawn the one card to your defeat..." Wolfgang smiled. Daniel stood there with a serious glare.
