Chương 624: Chapter 624: Welcome to the Pirate Ship
The Atmosphere—one of the only three Sphere monsters ever turned into real cards, and the one that received the most significant boost during the process.
In the original manga, The Atmosphere required three tributes to summon. Unlike Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, which could be Special Summoned, this card needed three tributes for a normal summon—just like the Egyptian Gods. It was quite a hassle.
But once turned into a real card, the summoning requirements were greatly simplified. This card no longer needed three tributes for a normal summon, nor could it be normally summoned at all. Instead, it could only be Special Summoned by banishing two monsters from the field and one from the graveyard.
This made it much easier to meet the summoning conditions, although the resource cost was actually higher since it required banishing rather than tributing.
The original manga effect let The Atmosphere absorb an opponent's monster and gain its ATK/DEF upon summon.
The real card not only retained this effect but upgraded it to "once per turn," meaning it wasn't just a one-off effect anymore but could be reused each turn.
From both the summoning requirement and the actual effect, it was a significant buff—the card felt much better to use than the original.
At this moment, the Society of Light's Frost had the honor of being the first duelist to personally experience this buffed version of The Atmosphere.
But after being hit by the double attack of two Sphere Monster, Frost, having experienced a crisis of faith, actually started to envy Thunder, who got knocked out before him.
He envied how quickly Thunder was defeated—he didn't have to endure the same humiliation.
"Why did the Society of Light target me?"
Kira now stood before Frost. Frost struggled to look up, feeling only that the person before him, standing tall in the dark pipe, looked ominous and sinister under the tunnel's ceiling lights.
"Cough...cough..."
He coughed twice and looked at Kira gloomily.
"Revolver, your good days... cough... are about to end."
"Huh?" Kira raised an eyebrow.
Hearing this from a guy hanging on by a thread had little intimidation value. Rather than a threat, it sounded more like stubborn posturing.
But Frost said no more, simply giving a couple of dry laughs.
"Be prepared, Revolver," Frost said. "Your fate is now intertwined with the Society's."
"And those who stand in the way of the Society's future have only one end—destruction."
"Society of Light, huh?" Kira replied.
"Hahaha, that's right... the fate of light is like... Cough... like an unstoppable chariot, crushing all in its path."
He forced the words out.
"You may have defeated me, but don't get cocky. After the Society's baptism, for us, so-called 'death' is just becoming light itself.
And you... Cough..."
He squinted at Kira.
"You are the darkness that must be defeated. Light will ultimately... prevail..."
With those words, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.
For a moment, Kira seemed to see a wave of light released from Frost's body, dispersing as a cloud of glowing particles down the long underground passage.
Kira could tell—he did not collapse because of a Shadow Game, but because of the light just released. That fragment of light had given these Society generals extraordinary powers, but also served as a tool for surveillance and control.
Once defeated, the light fragment would evaporate and dissipate. The member would return to being a normal person, losing the baptism of light and all key memories.
