Chapter 9 The bottom overcomes the top

There are many famous characters in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Many of them are related to cards, and some are famous for their unique performances in games.

And it just so happens that Seto Kaiba has both.

As we all know, apart from the fancy White Dragon pulling, President Kaiba only has one set of tactics when playing cards.

Although this statement is somewhat sarcastic, it is also true.

When playing cards, he must be very strong and have high attack. Even if he starts with a four-star mortal bone, he must be a big brother like "Bloody Warcraft" with an attack power of 1,900, who is difficult to be eliminated without damage in the first round in the current environment.

Then he didn't know what was going on in his head. Because he was pursuing attack power values, he subconsciously thought that other people were the same, and he insisted that capable duelists must be the same as him.

Completely ignoring the fact that he'd been bludgeoned by various low-star, dual-dimensional, and unrelated "small fish" since the early days, after forcibly equating attack power with the duelist's own strength, his only tactic emerged:
Virus card.

To be precise, it is a single card that card players must be very familiar with:
"Death Deck Destruction Virus"

In the animation, the effect of being able to blow up the opponent's deck as long as it is triggered by a dark monster with an attack power of less than 1000 is very amazing. After the card was realized, and the environment gradually shifted from poor magic trap resources to chaos and high-attack monsters, the abstraction was brought to the extreme.

The card that You Ming activated was the 'Brother' derived from this card after it was transformed into O!
While not as cheaply effective as its original 'brother', the format is clearly unified.

Their entire family is based on certain conditions - bombing and blockade!

"Defense strength is less than 1,500..."

Chanting that keyword, Keith looked towards his own field.

Cannon

"def/1300"

Motor Thugs

"def/1200"

Naturally, the two steel beasts were already wrapped in the virus that seemed to be laughing.

As the dark liquid fell, the two machines that should have secured victory instantly collapsed.

"Cannon Soldier and Motor Boomstick are out."

"Even so, when the Motor Boom is destroyed, two parts will be left on my field!"

After also coming to his senses, Keith spoke.

"Are you going to summon the "Magic Motor"? Then, you should use the "7 Cards" to increase your attack power, right?"

The sudden question made his breath hitch.

When the dark virus dissipated, the air did not become fresher, but became heavier.

He subconsciously looked back around, and the shadows cast by the dim candlelight were like a big hand tightly strangling his neck - the virus card also exposed his hand card!

but……

"so what?!"

He looked at his hand card, and the monster still in his hand made him feel at ease.

"After all, this is just a different way for me to get rid of you."

He held up the card in his hand.

At the same time, the two fragile, lonely motor tokens in front of him also emitted an overload of current.

"Now, I will sacrifice these two parts to summon my current ace monster!"

Amidst the roar of the motor and the flash of electric light and the roar of the running motor, a flash of red light appeared, and a steel giant with sharp blades on his arms appeared.

"Magic MotorΩ!"

This is Keith's card in the comics, and also his trump card.

Of course, although in the comics it only takes one round for it to leave and appear, so there is nothing special about it, but You Ming actually thinks this thing looks pretty cool.

"Magic Motor Ω (lv8)"

Attribute/Dark

Race/Mechanical

"atk/2800 def/2000"

As an 8-star monster, its score is actually not low, but it is stuck there now.

after all……

"The Dark Sword's current attack power is also 2800."

On the field, two monsters of completely different sizes stared at each other, but their momentum was tit-for-tat.

But soon, the deadlock was broken.

"Your monsters are only at this level thanks to their equipment, but my machines can reach even higher levels!"

‘Zi La’

As the electric current hummed, the shadow of a slot machine vaguely appeared right above the magic machine motor.

There are three screens in total, and a number has been projected on the first one:
7
"Equipment magic—"7 cards"."

Keith said coldly.

"As a plug-in for this Machine-type monster, this card can increase the attack or defense of the Machine-type monster by 700."

Magic Motor Ω

"atk/2800→3500"

“But it’s not over yet.”

Then, Keith waved his hand again.

"The Magic Motor can overload its own engine to gain even greater power—engine overload!"

'boom'

Electric arcs raced, the heavy thud of cylinders echoed, and amidst the thick black smoke erupting, a flash of crimson flashed across the bright yellow main monitor of the mechanical giant.

Then, the attack power increases further!
"atk/3500→4500"

"Attack power 4500..."

"The Kaiba family's eldest son's ace monster only has this much attack power. It's over now!"

Amidst the roar of the engine, Keith's roar echoed.

"fighting!
"[Magic Motor Ω] attacks [Dark Sword]!"

'boom'

After receiving the order, the robot, which was already on the edge of its limit, instantly moved forward.

Then, it swung out its arm blade, which was spinning and vibrating wildly.

"Overload Execution—let it end like this!"

The attack power of the Demonic Motor is 4500, and the attack power of the Dark Demon Realm warrior holding the Demon Axe is 2800. The difference between them can indeed end this battle.

but……

"Open the cover card."

'Om'

A ripple suddenly appeared on the battlefield where the situation should have been determined.

In that condensation that seemed to stand still in time, a vortex like a door appeared behind the warrior from the Dark Demon Realm.

At first glance, there are a large number of weapons in the vortex!
"The moment you declare your attack, I activate this trap—"Call for Weapons"."

You Ming spoke.

"With this card's effect, I can add an Equip Spell Card from my deck to my hand, then equip it to a monster on the field."

"Equipment Card..."

Keith's Adam's apple throbbed.

With his American champion mind, he frantically thought about what equipment could make up for the damage gap of at least 1,700.

"Giant"?
This is obviously impossible, because even if the conditions for "gigantic expansion" are met, it will only double the "original attack power" and will not be able to surpass his magic motor at all.

Even with the second Demon Axe, there is still a gap of seven hundred!
"I add this card from my deck to my hand, then equip it."

Just as Keith was struggling to find the final answer, the warrior had already taken action.

He reached a hand into the vortex and grabbed a piece of golden jewelry from among the many weapons.

"That equipment is..."

"[Jewelry of the Underdog]—This card can only be equipped by Normal monsters..."

"But the attack power didn't increase at all!".

Before You Ming could finish his words, the scarlet machine had already charged forward and crossed the line of defense protected by the Blade of Light.

Amidst Keith's impatient roar, the wildly vibrating blade, wrapped in cruel power, smashed down on the head of the lone warrior.

“I won…”

'clang'

However, when the sound of collision echoed, Keith did not see the scene he expected.

The warrior from the Dark Demon Realm stood there, blocking the attack with the battle axe in his hand.

"This is impossible! It's obvious that the attack power of the "Magic Motor" is higher!"

"That's true until the damage is calculated."

'Om'

When the battle was at a stalemate, the golden jewelry worn by the warrior suddenly opened an eye.

The invisible oppression spread, as if even the madly roaring engine gradually became quiet.

"What on earth is this..."

"The effect of "jewelry of the underdog."

Facing Keith's uneasy and astonished gaze, You Ming spoke slowly.

When the equipped monster battles a monster with a higher level, its attack power increases only during the damage calculation phase.

As for its value...

"For every level difference between the two parties, attack power increases by 1."

Hearing the results, Keith seemed to wake up from a dream:
"The level of the "Magic Motor" is 8!"

"The Dark Sword's level is 4."

You Ming took a deep breath.

"Therefore, the attack power of the Dark Sword will increase by 2000."

"Then his attack power will eventually be..."

Keith was speechless for a moment, but the reality needed no explanation.

"Dark Sword, Warrior of the Dark Demon Realm"

"atk/2800→4800"

'Kara'

At that moment, a crisp sound was heard.

The magic motor is cracked.
