Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 724 The Power of Man (8K)

"My turn!"

Antinomi's D-Wheel passed through the one-way street to heaven and landed right in the civilian district. He glanced at the card he had drawn and nodded slightly.

Sure enough... here it comes!
ZONE card!

"Yusei, what I'm going to show you next is what ZONE has achieved in the past—"

Field Spell Card, Duel Evolution - Burst Zone!

WTF?

Hikaru Amagi narrowed his eyes, took out the Book of Emeralds, and searched for it. Surprisingly, a card that looked quite familiar popped up—but he was certain that he had never seen this card before.

As expected, ZONE has prepared entirely new and different cards for Antinomi, including cards related to Burst Mode.

The shadows of the blue wind dragon and the crimson demon dragon swept across the entire city.

"What is this?" Upon seeing the image, Yusei felt a sense of familiarity and was immediately taken aback.

“That’s right, this is precisely… the power of Stardust and Crimson Demon.” Antinomi didn’t hide anything either. “You should remember, right? The future that ZONE showed you.”

Antinomi didn't care about the audience's gaze and told them everything without hesitation.

Do not--

By now.

It's not really impossible for people who already know the secret of the "One God" to know history and the future.

After all, compared to the "future," the war of the "One God" is actually the biggest secret in this world.

In comparison, whether humanity perishes or not makes virtually no difference to the gods or the spirits.

The only ones who truly need to care about humanity are humanity itself.

"In the future, perpetual motion machines will reverse due to mutual distrust, desire, and madness among humans, causing terrible disasters and even destroying all of humanity."

Antinomi recounted words that, despite having recalled them hundreds of times, still filled Yusei with a profound sense of solemnity upon facing them again.

Those who had not yet fully detached themselves from the message of the One God, upon hearing about humanity's "future" in front of Antinomi and Yusei, who had actually used "divine power," were immediately dumbfounded.

Many people looked at the speeding D-wheel with fear in their eyes.

Human greed and madness?
Perpetual motion machines are terrifying?!

Upon hearing this, Akama Reiji instinctively pushed up his glasses hard to hide the turbulent emotions surging within him.

Antinomi continued his story.

The reason why humanity perished was because of human greed and lack of understanding.

Even if ZONE intervened and calmed the rampaging perpetual motion machine down with the Mind of Still Water, it was all too late.

Harmony is the root of this world, the foundation of this world.

In this dimension, the power of harmony is closer to everyone's "life" than anything else.

In the Superdimensional, Fusion, or Pendulum Dimensions, it doesn't matter if you don't learn those specific powers, because these powers don't exist in your body naturally. If a person from the Superdimensional is not interested in ascending, then he will never get involved in the "sublimation of the soul".

But it's different in this dimension!
The power of harmony permeates all things.

One person's evil thoughts can influence the evil thoughts of those around them, thereby triggering more riots and madness. When this greed extends, one day it will completely change the atmosphere of humanity throughout the world.

Back then, the City under the rule of the nobles was such a crazy city.

Yusei listened and nodded gently.

However, unlike before, this time when he heard ZONE's story again, he no longer had the worries he had before, but had a different understanding—like the reversal of a perpetual motion machine, as long as he could get everyone in harmony, he could spread hope and thus change everything.

That wasn't the only time ZONE tried to save the world.

Antinomi continued.

ZONE had been searching for other methods before everyone else besides the four of them died.

For him, there are too few humans left, so he tries to find a way to "clone".

They cloned humans, implanted their memories, and then had them build human cities, but failed.

The attempt to create robots to replace humans failed.

The attempt to connect the spirit world and link humans and spirits failed.

To create new cards featuring legendary heroes in order to combat disaster, failure...

ZONE worked hard from his youth to old age, even creating a time machine that could alter the world's history and time, allowing him to explore from more perspectives.

but……

All those attempts, without exception, failed.

With each attempt Antinomi made, the atmosphere grew colder, as if one could hear an unfathomable...despair emanating from his mouth.

Countless attempts and countless efforts have only resulted in disappointment and pain.

“Because… harmony,” Antinomi said. “Because harmony is the foundation of this world, the root of this world, and also the inescapable suffering of this world. Harmony connects the hearts of all life in the world, but harmony has never truly brought peace and cooperation.”

"Because—fundamentally, there is no coordination at all!"

Yusei understood what he meant.

The Great War of the One God.

In the very beginning, when this world was born, countless Synchro Gods cooperated with each other to create this universe belonging to Synchro. However, it is unknown which Synchro God began to seize more "Synchro," thus triggering a terrifying war among the Synchro Gods. The one who ultimately prevailed was given the title of "One God," becoming the only Synchro God in this world. But this also led to the fact that, from the very beginning, Synchro was not about cooperation, but about competition!

"Yusei, do you understand the reasoning behind this?"

Antinomi asked, but before Yusei could answer, she snapped a card out of her deck: "No matter what, if you can't even beat ZONE's previous attempts, there's no point in asking about what comes next."

The effect of Duel Evolution - Burst Zone is as follows: when this card is activated, add 1 monster with the name of a "Burst Mode" card from your Deck to your hand from your Deck or Graveyard.

Add Telekinetic Reflector to your hand, then Normal Summon it.

This effect can only be activated if Psycho Reflector is Summoned or Special Summoned. Add 1 Burst Mode monster (other than Psycho Reflector) or a card with that name from your Deck to your hand; I add the Burst Beast to my hand.

A novel setting, but ancient cards.

Hikaru Amagi looked at the telekinetic reflector with a touch of nostalgia.

He used to choose the Burst three-piece set when playing the "Tamashi" deck, which was quite useful at the time. However, the card effect increases too quickly, so this set of small aggro cards is no longer very effective.

"Discard Burst Beast to the Graveyard and activate its effect. Add 1 Burst Mode card from your Deck to your hand."

"Then, the effect of Psycho Reflector reveals a Burst Mode monster in your hand. You can target 1 monster in your Graveyard other than Psycho Reflector that has the 'Burst Mode' attribute. Special Summon that monster, and its Level increases by up to 4."

I Special Summoned the Blastmon from my graveyard, raising its Level by 3 to 7!

A total of 8 stars?
Hikaru Amagi stroked his chin, somewhat curious about what Antinomi would summon.

In Burst Mode, the most useful cards are Stardust Dragon/Burst, and Stardust Dragon's level is also exactly 8.
But will Antinomi have a Stardust Dragon?
Hikaru Amagi was very curious.

"Synchronize with a level 1 Psychic Reflector and a level 7 Burstmon!"

"Synchronization Summon, Level 8, Priestess of Nightwing!"

oh! ?

never seen it!
Still a sister card—

Amagi Hikaru was quite interested.

Nightwing Priest, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500.
"Because of Synchro Summoning, I'll draw a card." Yusei drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, nodded slightly, and thought to himself that he was lucky.

"The effect of Nightwing Priest can only be activated if this card is Special Summoned. Set 1 Burst Mode card from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard to the field. This effect can also be activated during the turn the card is set."

Oh? !

A bit strong.

Amagi Hikaru watched the effect of Nightwing's priest skill, gently swiping the screen, feeling a bit amazed.

Besides the "1" effect, it also has the effect of searching for monsters, which is pretty impressive.

"I've covered the field with the Burst Mode from the graveyard."

Antinomi surveyed his surroundings.

In reality, both the Tech Genus and the Burst system require a lot of card slots, especially the Burst Mode, because the Burst Mode must be in the main deck, so it will be very bad once you get it.

such as……

He looked at the highly sought-after Explosive Body with his psychic powers and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Compared to Synchro Monsters that can be Special Summoned through continuous collaboration in the Extra Deck, the weaknesses of Burst Monsters are far too obvious. Even though most Burst Monsters have the ability to revive Synchro Monsters in the Graveyard when destroyed, they are still far inferior to Synchro Monsters, which are easier to summon.

but--

The explosive items circulating in this era are indeed not very common or easy to use.

However, among the many possibilities that ZONE has explored, there are quite a few cards that are more convenient and easier to use.

"Should we summon that Nightwing's blasted form?" Yusei asked.

Antinomi looked at him, a smile playing on her lips: "No."

?

"The effect of Duel Evolution - Burst Zone can be activated once per turn by paying 2000 Life Points. Once per turn, Synchro Monsters Tributed by activating Burst Mode can also be selected from the Extra Deck."

!!!

So strong! !
Almost everyone who knew about Burst Mode gasped in surprise.

Isn't this skipping a step altogether?!
Considering Antinomi's actions this turn—doesn't that mean that with just one Field Spell, she could essentially Special Summon a Blademaster Burst out of thin air?!

"Activate the Trap Card, Burst Mode!"

Antinomi flips over a face-down card, “Send a Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 '/Burst' monster from your Deck in Attack Position, including the name of that monster!”

"bring it on!!"

hum-

A pair of red glasses flashed, and then, under a full set of gold, a familiar figure of Yusei made a dazzling appearance!

Scrap Warrior! ???
"Special Summon, Level 7, Junk Warrior/Explosive!"

Scrap Warrior/Explosive Body, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2800→3800.
Antinomie, LP: 4000 → 2000.
"It's...it's a trash warrior!?"

Many people recognize this monster. Even though Yusei didn't retrieve Stardust Dragon before, he kept using Scrap Warrior to duel with people, and even once used this card to punch Jack into the sky.

"It's a junk soldier!?" Yusei was somewhat surprised, but mostly excited. "Will it receive praise in the future too?"

“Of course, it’s a Yusei card after all.” Antinomi nodded and explained, “Junk Warrior Burst gains 1000 ATK for every Burst monster on your field. In addition, battle damage dealt by Junk Warrior Burst and monsters is doubled. Furthermore, Junk Warrior Burst is unaffected by the effects activated by your opponent’s monsters while on the field.”

Amazing.

Unlike the blockade of the halberd gunner, this card is pure violence.

"Battle, Stardust Dragon!" Antinomi pointed at the Stardust Dragon on the Stardust Field, "Attack the Stardust Dragon with Scrap Warrior Burst!"

Explosive Scrap Fist!

The Scrap Warrior raised his enormous golden fist and slammed it down on Stardust Dragon's head.

Bang! !

The Stardust Dragon's head was slammed against the wall.

Amagi Hikaru shook his head at the sight.

Antinomi seemed obsessed, single-mindedly pressing Stardust Dragon against the wall.

"Well--"

Yusei, LP: 4000 → 1400.
Having suffered over two thousand points of damage, Yusei's speed plummeted!

"In that case, destroy it again..."

"Activate the effects of the monsters in your hand." Antinomi wanted to press his advantage and destroy the Super Librarian as well, but at this moment, Yusei activated the effect of a card in his hand, "The effect of Arbitrator is activated. If a card on your field is destroyed during the Battle Phase, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to end the Battle Phase."

Well--

"This effect is aimed at the duelist and ends the battle directly. Even if it is not affected by the effects activated by the monster, it will still suffer this effect." Ever since he met the King of Destroyers, Yusei has been searching through his already large number of hand trap monsters for more useful cards.

This is really...

"Then, Set card, Stardust's Remnant. You can target 1 Stardust Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster."

Although Stardust Dragon is Special Summoned using a Spell Card, it is considered a Synchro Summon, so it can also be Special Summoned.

Antinomi glanced at it.

Unfortunately, if that were the case, I should have prioritized destroying the librarian's property.

He glanced at his hand: "Set one card face down, end the turn!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei draws a card from his deck.

"Lower the Level of Stardust Dragon on the field, and Special Summon Level Thief Bug from the Graveyard!"

Level thief.

Antinomi frowned deeply.

This monster can revive indefinitely as long as there are high-level monsters available, which is quite troublesome.

Stardust Dragon, LV8→7
"Usually summons junk armor."

"Use a level 1 junk armor and a level 1 thief bug to adjust the star rating!"

"Come on, Level 2, Formula Synchron!"

"Since Synchro Summoning was successful, draw one card based on the effect of Tech Genus Librarian. When Formula Synchro is successfully Synchro Summoned, you can draw one card."

Yusei drew two cards from his deck, examined them, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Reduce Stardust Dragon's star level by one, Special Summon from Graveyard, Level Thief Bug."

Stardust Dragon, LV.7→6
“Then, discard a card from your hand and activate the Spell Card Monster Resurrection to add Stardust Synchron from your Graveyard to your hand. — This card should have been banished, but because you negated its Special Summon last turn, it can be retrieved from the Graveyard again.” Antinomi’s brow twitched: “But you’ve already Normal Summoned it.”

"The effect of a Synchro Companion in the Graveyard. You can banish it from your Graveyard, then target 1 Synchro Monster you control. That monster's Level drops by 1. And once this turn, except for a Normal Summon, you can Summon 1 Synchro Monster during your Main Phase. I Summon Stardust Synchro."

If Stardust Synchron is Summoned or Special Summoned, you can search your Deck for 1 card with the name "Stardust Dragon" and add it to your hand.

Yusei's deck automatically popped out a card, which he then took into his hand.

Antinomi frowned.

In that case, Stardust Dragon's level is 5!
"So that's how it is!!!" MC belatedly realized, "So that's how it is, Yusei Fudo! So that's what he was after! By lowering Stardust Dragon's level to 5, he can use Stardust Dragon, Super Librarian, and Formula Synchron to perform synchronized training!"

5+5+2!

Yes……

Cosmic Transformation Dragon!

"Open the overwrite card!"

Antinomi flipped over his trap card: "Trap Card, Burst Slash!"

This effect can only be activated if you control a face-up monster with "Blast" in its name in Attack Position. Destroy all face-up monsters on the field!

"all!?"

"Isn't this self-destruction?"

"Wait, isn't Stardust Dragon supposed to be able to nullify and destroy effects?"

"But if we do that, Stardust Dragon will have to be released, and then we won't have any Synchro Materials!"

Indeed, that is the problem.

All Antinome did was prevent Yusei from continuing his Synchro Synchro. As long as there were no Synchro materials, it wouldn't matter.

Hikaru Amagi knew more than they did. He knew that if a Junk Warrior Burst was destroyed, the Junk Warrior in the Graveyard could be returned to the Extra Deck and then Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon.

In other words, in the best-case scenario, Antinomi might even have monsters present.

"...Antinomie, do you really want to stop my Synchro Summoning?"

"I had no choice, Yusei!"

“No! You have a choice,” Yusei said firmly.

Having experienced all sorts of things, seen all kinds of examples, answered the questions from the Nordic team, and absorbed the experience from Hikaru Amagi and Tiera, Yusei can say this with certainty.

"The power of coordination is the root of this world."

He was not a madman; he was far less obsessed with fusion than Amagi Hikaru.

However, this world is a world of harmony!
Harmony permeates every corner of this world!
Therefore, refuting conformity is, in this world, a paradox in itself.

To deny conformity is, in itself, to deny the world!

He could understand, he could see that ZONE and the others had indeed used every trick in the book.

Without the reminders and guidance of others, he probably wouldn't have found real hope.

"Antinomie, there's no need to try to test me anymore. I already know what I should do."

!!!

Antinomi stared at Yusei in disbelief.

Yu Xing smiled and met his gaze.

"When a drop of ink falls into a clear body of water, that drop of ink will gradually soak the entire surface of the water, eventually spreading evenly to every corner of the water!" Antinomi shouted.

"But as long as there is tranquility, as long as the water remains calm and still, as long as everyone can remain calm and composed, then let the perpetual motion machine never reverse," Yu Xing explained with a smile.

"How could that possibly be done?"

“It’s simple, as long as it’s not ink that’s dripping, but… other clean water,” Yusei continued.

Antinomi paused for a moment, then his pupils contracted sharply.

"That's how you walk in the ZONE, right?"

"That was the initial attempt, and also the path I'm walking."

No wonder ZONE said that Yusei's path is the most difficult one.

Antinomie suddenly realized.

Because this is the path that ZONE truly failed on before. Although the routes are different, they are too similar!

"Activate the effect of Stardust Dragon, nullify destruction and destroy!"

The Sanctuary of the Sacrificed!

"But in that case, you'll also have to unleash the monster—"

"It won't be released! It's in the Graveyard! If a Stardust Synchro Monster on your field releases itself to activate its effect, you can banish this card instead!"

Was that the Meteor Sonic Strike from the previous round?!

"Antinomie, you must have heard their voices too!"

Yusei drove forward, pointing behind him at the audience on the side.

The shouts of "Go for it!" and "Go for it, Yusei!" that Antinomi had heard before became even clearer.

Clear water —

Yuxing is like a drop of clear water falling into this chaotic world!
Antinomie understood what the wandering star meant.

Despite the fact that many people in the world do not understand him, despite the fact that some people doubt him, and despite the fact that there are still a lot of ambitious people, the water has already dripped!
This seemingly irresistible historical tide has actually been subtly changing things!
"Here we go, Antinomi!"
"Spell Card, Salvation Absorption: You can target 1 Stardust Dragon or a Synchro Monster with that card name on your field. Choose one of its three effects. I choose effect 1: Target 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field, and equip that monster as an Equip Card to the targeted monster. I choose Nightwing Priest! Equip it to Stardust Dragon!"

"Then, use a Level 5 Stardust Dragon, a Level 5 Tech Genus Librarian, and a Level 2 Formula Synchron to perform a Synchronization!"

"Accelerate during your own turn!?" Antinomi was shocked.

Yusei raised his left hand high, and a blank card reappeared.

That was the vessel of the Cosmic Blazing Dragon.

Every time he completes a Synchro Summon, a dream card is born.

Indeed, this time, Yusei did not activate his "divine power"; he simply held up the card and accelerated wildly.

"Everyone, support me, believe in me, let's create a hopeful future together!!"

he!
They are embracing the strength of ordinary people!

When Godwin saw this, his brow furrowed terribly.

That's a bit bad.

He vaguely sensed the disagreement between himself and Yusei.

His idea was to create a "human god," but Yusei didn't seem to want to actually become a "god."

But no matter what... we'll have to keep watching the duel.

There aren't many people who support Yusei.

There are very few “core supporters”.

However, as the duel gradually reached its climax, and Yusei once again took out a "blank" card, the atmosphere of the duel gradually heated up. Those who did not really believe in Yusei, but just thought he was a good person or verbally supported him, now saw that Yusei wanted "support" and naturally became his supporters, just like gathering energy for a Spirit Bomb.

The starlight scattered like a river.

The stars scattered across the driveway, making this already dazzling neon-lit overpass even more beautiful.

sizzle-

Three enormous golden rings enveloped Yusei, and he took a deep breath, his heart becoming increasingly calm.

The so-called starlight is not actually starlight, but rather the light of those who are supporting him!

Although each of these individuals is no match for Yusei or any ordinary contestant, the hope they represent is still a formidable force.

This is exactly Yusei's understanding!

He realized that he had taken a "shortcut," cheated, and created the Cosmic Radiant Dragon by using his own power, which was no longer human. But the true mind of clarity and stillness, the true acceleration and synchronization, was not like that!
He needs to complete a "human synchronization"!
Three golden rings nested around the star and the D-wheel, and his speed increased faster and faster until he seemed to transform into light.

"Go for it, Yusei!!" a spectator shouted.

"Go for it, Yusei!" The MC, unusually, was also sweating with worry, but didn't shout any louder.

Can!
Still not enough!

Still not enough!!!

Yu Xingxin felt somewhat dazed.

Not enough?
Is it still not enough even now?

After so many duels and so many displays of conviction, is it still not enough?

"Yusei!!"

At that moment, Antinomi's voice rang out. Yusei turned around sharply and saw that Antinomi had somehow appeared behind his car. Antinomi's Tri-Hawk accelerated wildly and eventually crashed directly into Yusei's D-Wheel.

Yusei suddenly understood.

The science and technology department is super librarian, but Antinomi's card.

Without resonance with Antinomi, what right does he have to "gather prayers" in this duel?
"Yusei, Beyond Light, let me see it!!"

"Okay!!!" Yusei couldn't help but grin, facing the light with a sincere smile, and then with a bang, he transformed into a beam of light and rushed forward.

Unlike the disappearance of Antinomith.

Yusei's disappearance this time seemed to be everywhere. Everyone on the track seemed to be able to see Yusei in front of them, but when they came to their senses, they found that Yusei had returned to his original position at some point.

"Top-level Mirror of Shisui's Heart!"

"The gathered stars connect us! Let's fly towards the future together with our prayers!"

"Transform into a path of shining light!"

"Triangular acceleration and synchronization!"

bang————

Golden stars are scattered all over the world, and countless adults and children, looking at those golden lights, seem to see the figures of the wandering stars.

In that instant, Yusei truly came close to "universe".

"Cosmic Transformation Dragon!"

"Ouch————"

Not only starlight, but in that instant, even the image of the Cosmic Transformation Dragon seemed to remain in the hearts of countless people. Those who had supported Yusei in the first place quickly became the "core," while some who had doubts or distrusted Yusei couldn't help but marvel at him.

Cosmic Radiant Dragon, Level 12, Wind Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 4000.
"We succeeded!!! We succeeded, without relying on divine power, only on people's prayers!!!" MC cheered at the top of his lungs.

Yusei wiped the sweat from his chin and looked at the cemetery.

"Then use a Rank 4 Stardust Synchron and a Rank 1 Level Thief Bug to Synchronize."

"Synchronization Summon, Level 5, Scarred Warrior".

Scarred Warrior, Level 5, Earth Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2100.
Yusei looked at the Extra Deck.

Unfortunately, Junk Warrior requires Junk Synchron to Synchronize, otherwise Yusei would definitely have used a more meaningful Junk Warrior.

He looked back at Antinomi, who had thrown away her helmet to help him achieve "Triangular Acceleration Synchronization." To accelerate, Antinomi had even abandoned her helmet and was pushing him forward frantically.

So--

In return, he also wanted to show Antinomiy the future of light that people longed for!
"Battle! Attack the Scrap Warrior/Explosive with Cosmic Transformation Dragon!"

The Cosmic Blazing Dragon looked at the scrap warrior with its giant mechanical arm, puzzled but feeling it wasn't as cool as before. It calmly transformed into a beam of light and passed through the scrap warrior's body.

Bang!
"The effect of Junk Warrior/Explosive! If this card is destroyed, you can return 1 Junk Warrior from your Graveyard to the Extra Deck, and then Special Summon it from the Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon." Antinomi's last struggle.

"That won't work!!" MC shouted excitedly, as if the Cosmic Transformation Dragon were his own monster. "The Cosmic Transformation Dragon has a powerful counterattack ability!"

That's right!

Many spectators cheered.

The effect of the Cosmic Transformation Dragon!
"Cosmic Transformation Dragon's effect! Banish this card from the field until the End Phase, then activate 1 of its effects."

I choose!

This effect can only be activated when the opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect. Negate that activation and destroy it!

The effect of Cosmic Transformation Dragon is almost omnipotent, and can even be activated during the damage step phase.

The junk warriors, who were gathering their strength, could not withstand the power of the light and vanished instantly, leaving little trace on the field.

Antinomie, LP: 2000 → 1800.
That's how you lose.

Antinomie took a deep breath, but felt a great sense of relief.

Yusei understood his meaning, and Yusei realized the deeper meaning of "triangle acceleration synchronization".

Then, this duel will have been worthwhile.

"Yusei, carry the light and keep moving forward!"

"Thank you, Antinomi—the Scarred Warrior's direct attack!"

Antinomie, LP: 1800 → 0.
"Oh!!!"

"5DS team, take the first win!!!"

"Wow!!"

"Great!!"

"Beautiful, Yusei!!!"
