Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?

Bai Chu draws a card from his hand and inserts it into the Duel Disk: "At this moment, I activate the Quick Play Magic Card, [I am a Shield]. When the opponent activates a card with an effect that "destroys a monster on the field", you can pay 1500 life points to negate that activation and destroy it. Uh——"

The [Giant Ant Hell Savior] that was sneaking towards the Iron Mage Knight completed a drift underground and shifted its attention to Bai Zhu. As its exaggerated pair of jaws drilled out of the ground, it clamped Bai Zhu tightly.

"Ah——" (White Cluster's HP 4000→2500)

The punishment electric current attacked Bai Chu and [Giant Ant Hell Savior] at the same time, causing the latter's body to shatter and turn into dust.

"Not bad, not bad," Bai Haisheng said with satisfaction, "Although the effect was not successful, as long as I see you wailing in pain, my heart is as sweet as honey."

“You bastard…” Bai Chu gritted his teeth and said, “Nothing can stop me now. Keep attacking!”

"Wait, Master Xi, since your attack is rolled back again, I still have an effect to activate. I activate the 3rd effect of [Seraphim], which allows you to remove 1 counter from this card and Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Insect-Type monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.

I choose, hehehe, to Special Summon [Giant Ant Hell Savior]!"

"What did you say? Could it be!?"

"Yes, that's right. The third effect of [Giant Ant Hell Savior] is only once per turn, not once per turn for the same card name. In other words, if you still want to attack, you'd better consider whether you have a second [I am a Shield] first."

Bai Chu finally restrained his impulse to launch an attack at all costs. If the effect of [Giant Ant Hell Savior] was triggered again to destroy the [Cockroach Pillar] and the Iron Magic Knight, this would be the scene that Bai Haisheng most wanted to see.

Of course, even if Bai Chu does not continue to attack, Bai Haisheng will take the initiative to attack in the next round to trigger the effect of [Giant Ant Hell Savior]. Because the effect is triggered when the Insect monster starts the damage step of the battle, whether being attacked or taking the initiative to attack, Bai Haisheng's conspiracy can be successfully realized.

Unexpectedly, the insects on this guy's field may not have high attack power, but they formed gangs and coexisted, supporting and shielding each other, and did not allow Bai Chu to find any gaps for attack.

"My battle phase ends, and, with two cards covered, my turn ends."

"Is the turn over? I haven't had enough fun yet." Bai Haisheng smiled proudly. "At the end of your turn, the effect of [Beetle Fusion_Six-Insect Stag Beetle] is activated. Both players can select 1 Insect-Type monster from their hand or graveyard to Special Summon with its effect negated. I choose to Special Summon [Insect Ninja_Hagakure] from the graveyard."

Seeing more and more insects gathering on Bai Haisheng's field, Bai Chu couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"It seems that you still don't accept my kindness, Master Xi, you are really a cold-hearted person. It's my turn, draw a card!

First, I activate the monster effect of [Seraphim], remove the last counter on this card, and select 1 Level 1 or lower Insect-Type monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it in Defense Position. I choose to Special Summon the monster in the Graveyard, [New Insect].

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..." Bai Chu couldn't help but gasp. Bai Haisheng's monster field, including the extra monster area, was completely occupied at this moment, crowded together. This scene could only be described as disgusting.

“接下来，我分别将【炽天蝶】，【新虫】和【蟑螂柱】合计3只怪兽设置到连接标记，连接召唤第2只【炽天蝶】（风/昆虫族/连接/效果/2100/↑）。并为【炽天蝶】放置3个指示物。（ATK2100→2700）

When [Cockroach Pillar] is sent to the Graveyard, the effect is activated! You can add 1 Level 4 Insect-Type monster from your deck to your hand. I choose to add the second [New Insect] to my hand. "

"Hmm? That's all?" Bai Chu was curious when he saw that the other party did not make any follow-up moves. "If the monster in your hand with the effect of [Cockroach Pillar] is a normal monster, can't you Special Summon it and destroy another monster of mine with higher attack power, that is, Iron Magic Knight?"

Furthermore, the effect of [Cockroach Pillar] that destroys monsters does not take any targets, and you cannot use the Iron Mage Knight's own effect to counterattack.

Bai Haisheng just laughed contemptuously and said, "Why should I destroy a monster that I can use?"

Bai Chu quickly understood what Bai Haisheng meant. What he meant was that the opponent could use the effect of the continuous magic card, [Giant Pitch], on the field to exchange control of [Bug Ninja_Yagakure] and Iron Magic Knight on the field by showing the [New Bug] in his hand.

Although [Bug Ninja_Hagakure Mino] is a link monster, its attack power is only 1000, and its effect was negated by [Beetle Fusion_Six-Insect Stag Beak Fighter] as the price of resurrection. Using it to exchange for the Iron Magic Knight is naturally a very cost-effective deal for Bai Haisheng.

However, in this case, Bai Chu can rest assured. When the effect of [Powerful Pitch] is activated, the target of the effect must be specified, and this will also successfully trigger the counterattack effect of the Iron Magic Knight:

Once per turn, when the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster that targets Iron Magic Knight is activated, you can negate that effect and destroy 1 card on the field.

Come on, you will eventually be consumed by your own greed.

"Master Xi, come and see the monster that brings you the deepest despair!" Bai Haisheng raised the card he had just drawn this turn. "[Tree Crown Armor Emperor_Biagram] cannot be Normal Summoned. You must banish 3 Insect-Type or Plant-Type monsters from your hand or graveyard to Special Summon it from your hand or graveyard.

I choose to banish the [Cockroach Pillar], [Seraphim], and [New Bug] from the Graveyard, a total of 3 Insect-Type monsters, Special Summon them, and bring them out! [Crown Armor Emperor_Biagram] (Earth/★9/Insect-Type/Special Summon/Effect/3400/2800)"

A giant ant with a huge body was projected on Bai Haisheng's duel disk. In front of it, no matter whether it was the Iron Magic Knight or Bai Haisheng's other monsters, they could only be reduced to large ants.

The lower body of this giant ant is the thorax and abdomen structure of an ant, while its upper body is the upper body structure of a human, covered with purple insect armor. When the carapace behind the human-shaped part opens, the huge transparent insect wings unfold from a folded state, carrying its entire body nimbly off the ground.

"A level 9, ultimate insect with 3400 attack power..."

"Next, it's my favorite moment." Bai Haisheng couldn't wait to show Bai Chu his only card in his hand, a normal monster with an attack power of 1800, [New Bug].

"I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card, [Mighty Pitch], and I can select 1 face-up monster on your field and 1 Insect-Type monster on my field with a lower ATK than the [New Bug] I showed you, and exchange control of those two monsters. This effect changes the monster I control to an Insect-Type.

I choose to exchange control of the 1000-attack [Insect Ninja_Hagakure] with your monster, Iron Magic Knight."

Bai Chu waved his hand with unyielding momentum and said, "I will also activate the effect of the Iron Magic Knight..."

"Sorry, my dear Xi-sama, I didn't allow you to interrupt!" Bai Haisheng suddenly shouted: "The effect of [Tree Crown Armor Emperor_Biagram], as long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, the opponent cannot activate the effect of the monster in response to the activation of the effect of its own Spell/Trap Card."

"What did you say!? Can't chain?"

If this exchange is successful, Bai Haisheng will get himself a Link Monster with an attack power of 1 and no effect. At that time, the opponent's field will have 1000 monsters with attack powers of 2700, 3400, 2700, 1200, and 2400 respectively.

This does not take into account the fact that the Iron Mage Knight can increase his attack power and make two attacks in the same battle phase.

It is enough to kill the White Cluster with 2500 health points 4 or 5 times.

"The effects of monsters cannot be chained, but my face-up card can still be activated." The more critical the situation was, the calmer Bai Chu spoke.

"At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, [Inside and Outside]. This card can Tribute 1 Light or Dark Attribute Monster on your field, and Special Summon 1 Light or Dark Attribute Monster from your hand or Extra Deck with the same original Type and Level as that monster, but with different original Attributes."

The Iron Mage Knight soared into the air, his body emitting a pure, shining white light. In the dazzling light, the Iron Mage Knight's body gradually became ethereal, and he turned his body, revealing another black figure hidden behind him.
