Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Shinji felt a sense of absurdity upon seeing Crow say such a thing. He never expected that Crow, who had once been a warrior who actively fought against the top, would say such a thing.

"Crow, do you really think this method can change the current situation of people at the bottom of society?"

Hearing Shinji's less excited question, Crowe wanted to encourage him, saying he could definitely do it, but reality made him shake his head:

"I don't know. But how will we know the outcome if we don't try? I think someone has to try to communicate, so I'll be the pioneer!"

Seeing the burning conviction in Crow's eyes as he spoke, Shinji remained silent for a moment before raising his fist towards him.

"Crow, if you're going to do it, do it with all your might. Become the winner, defeat Jack, become the new king, and let the people at the top hear your voice."

"Ah."

After exchanging fist bumps, seeing that staff dressed in white, resembling special police officers, were approaching, Crowe hurriedly asked Shinji,

"Shinji, what about you? Are you going to continue doing this?"

"I... will not give up the fight. However, if one day, people at the bottom can live carefree under the same sky as people at the top, maybe I will accept it."

Hearing footsteps approaching, Shinji noticed the two men who looked like special police officers standing beside him. He knew that, according to the usual pattern, he was destined to be the loser.

"Let's go. Since I've become the loser, I'll naturally accept the fate of a loser."

Just when Shinji mistakenly thought the two were about to take him away, they suddenly spoke:

"Um, we're just here to remind you that the next race is about to begin. If you need to talk, could you please leave the track and return to the participants' dormitory before discussing this?"

"As for how to deal with the losers, according to Mr. Akaba Reiji, who reached an agreement with the Administrative Council, it can be dealt with after the Friendship Cup."

The two men's words made both Kro and Shinji blush instantly, and they immediately activated their D-Wheels and left the arena.

In the following matches of the friendly tournament, the members of the [Lancer Regiment] shone brightly and advanced smoothly. However, they were unfortunately defeated by Tokumatsu Chojiro when they ran into Sawatari.

However, Sawatari's antics brought a smile to Tokumatsu Chojiro's face, successfully showcasing the charm of "Hedonistic Chojiro" to the audience ten years later.

As for the participants in the final round of the Friendship Cup, where the top 16 advance to the quarterfinals...

"First of all, let's welcome Yuya Sakaki, the duelist who successfully defeated Jack in yesterday's exhibition match and is hailed as the 'King of the Future'!"

Riding a bright red motorcycle, Yuya Sakaki makes a dazzling entrance.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the arena. After all, Yuya Sakaki's feat of defeating Jack yesterday had attracted many fans.

Faced with the cheers of these fans, Yuya immediately raised his hand to greet them.

"And then, Sergei Volkov!"

As a muscular figure clad in a black and green motorcycle suit was projected onto the field, the figure's owner, Sergei Volkov, himself drove his massive D-wheel, complete with menacing spikes and ramming horns, and approached Yuya with overwhelming force.

The audience members began to whisper among themselves upon his arrival.

"Sergei is..."

"Could it be that [Duelist Crusher]?"

…………

As such a voice gradually rose, Yuya Sakaki couldn't help but look at Sergei beside him. He had never seen such a tall and strong person before. Perhaps it would be possible when Gengensaka grew up a bit more.

However, Sergei seemed completely oblivious to both the audience's voices and Yuya's gaze. But, under the setting sun, Yuya couldn't help but feel that he saw a red light flash in Sergei's eyes.

However, the female supporter's announcement of the start of the match quickly drew Yuya's attention away from Sergei's face and back to the duel.

As the countdown reached zero, the two D-wheels instantly spun rapidly and shot off.

This scene was also reflected in Roger's eyes as he tapped his chess pieces against the board:

"Let me see for myself, Sergei, whether you truly possess the power to grant me dominion over this dimension!"

Although the red D-Wheel that Yuya was riding was a high-performance vehicle that Yugo had done his best to get for him, it was still far inferior in performance to Sergei's D-Wheel, which was provided by Roger.

So much so that Sergei was positioned right in front of Yuya before the turn, but Yuya noticed that Sergei's speed was gradually decreasing as the car entered the curve.

"What... is this for?"

Unfortunately, before Yuya could react, a ray of the setting sun's golden sunlight shone directly into his eyes.

"Oh! The first one to burst out of the bend is our 'future king,' Yuya Sakaki!"

But since Sergei had voluntarily conceded the first attack, Yuya decided not to hold back:

"Well then, I take the first strike! I activate the effect of [Super New Dragon Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon] from my hand! Pay 500 LP and send this card from your hand to the graveyard. You can add one Level 8 or lower Dragon Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand."

The card I chose to add to my hand is [Odd-Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon]!

Catching the card that popped out of the Duel Disk, Yuya immediately attached [Odd-Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon] to one end of his Duel Disk.

"Then set the pendulum scale of the [Odd Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon] with a pendulum scale of 8!"

As the dark purple dragon roared amidst the rising pillar of light, cheers erupted from the audience, marking the start of the final match of the Friendship Cup quarterfinals.

Chapter 185 The Prisoner Facing the Dragon

"Then, I activate the Spell Card [Duelist]! When there is a card in either player's Pendulum Zone, you can add one [Pendulum] Monster or one [Pendulum] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand!"

I choose to add one [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] to my hand! And set its Pendulum Scale!

Another pillar of light rose up, and the crimson dragon with heterochromatic eyes appeared within it.

However, as Yuya's ace monster, [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] has begun to realize that its treatment seems to have become a bit strange. It rarely has the opportunity to attack head-on as a monster, and most of the time it is just a stepping stone for Yuya to summon other monsters.

For example, like this:

"Now, I activate the effect of [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Butler] in my hand! While this card is in my hand or graveyard, you can destroy one [Entertainment Partner] or [Odd-Eyes] monster card on your field and Special Summon this card!"

I choose to destroy my [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon], which serves as a pendulum scale on my field!

Sure enough, it is like this again.

As his body gradually turned into golden light and dissipated, [Heterochromatic Spirit Dragon] saw an old butler dressed in a black suit with a white swallowtail vest underneath. He had a thin face and neatly combed white beard and hair. He was holding a cup of tea and appeared in front of Yuya's D-Wheel as if he were using light footwork.

Soon, another magician holding a staff appeared beside the old butler amidst flashes of light.

"[Odd-Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon]'s Pendulum Effect! When a face-up [Odd-Eyes] card you control is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can Special Summon 1 [Odd-Eyes] monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"

I choose to Special Summon [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Melter]!

With the appearance of [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Eye Melter], Yuya activated its effect with a simple gesture:

"Activate the effect of [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Melter]! It can send the materials of a Fusion Monster on the field, including this card, to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster!"

I've chosen [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Melter] and [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Butler] as materials for a fusion summon!

As Yuya's voice rang out, a vortex of fusion spread from the tip of [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Melter]'s staff, enveloping both humanoid figures within it.

"The power of thunder, now reside within the heterochromatic eye! Fusion Summon! Appear, the two-colored eye that wields lightning! [Heterochromatic Eye Wind and Thunder Dragon]!"

As crimson lightning emerged from the fusion vortex, the blue-armored wind and thunder dragon, which had successfully defeated Jack's [Crimson Dragon Tyrant] in the exhibition match, once again revealed its form, drawing cheers from the audience.

"It's not over yet! I'll set the pendulum scale of the [Heterochromatic Masked Dragon] in my hand, which is currently at 1!"

A crimson dragon, its head covered by a bone mask, rose up, accompanied by the marking of the number 1 beneath it.

"Right now, my pendulum scales on the field are 1 and 8, so I can pendulum summon monsters from level 2 to level 7! Pendulum Summon!"

"Show yourselves! [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon], [Entertainer Odd-Eyes Butler], and [Entertainer Odd-Eyes Synchro] from my hand!"

Three orbs of light emerged from the void created by the pendulum summoning. In addition to the two monsters that the audience had already seen, there was another monster that looked like a mechanical toy figure.

Some knowledgeable viewers also noticed a clue from the name of this monster they had never seen before:

"Synchro... Could it be that there will be a Synchro Summoning coming up!?"

Yuya quickly responded to the audience's expectations with his own actions:

"Next, I will use the level 2 [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eye Synchron] to adjust the star level of the level 5 [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eye Butler]!"

"The flames of the fallen now burn in its heterochromatic eyes! Synchro Summon! Appear, blazing bicolor eyes! Level 7, [Opposite-Eyed Meteorite Dragon]!"

The fire dragon, which had once sealed Jack's [Crimson Wyvern] effect and nearly destroyed him, appeared beside Yuya, blazing with intense flames.

"Finally, I stacked the level 7 [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] with the [Odd-Eyes Meteor Dragon]!"

The resolute soul, once again encased in the eyes of the heterochromatic eyes, now returns to freeze everything with unparalleled chill! Xyz Summon! Rank 7, [Odd-Eye Zero Dragon]!

As the dragon with heterochromatic eyes and the fire dragon transformed into a ball of light and plunged into the massive black hole, an unparalleled chill began to spread, and a dragon with ice crystals was born.

In one round, four different types of Yuya's ace dragons appeared, summoned in four different ways, instantly heating up the atmosphere in the arena, with almost all the spectators chanting Yuya's name.

And so, Yuya's turn came to an end.

"My turn, draw a card!"

However, the cheers of the audience supporting Yuya seemed to have no effect on Sergei at all. He maintained his cold expression and cleanly drew cards from his deck.

"When a Field Spell is active, you can Special Summon [Earthbound Prisoner Rock Sweeper] from your hand."

As Sergei calmly slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a monster with blue glowing patterns on its body, resembling a small, jet-black whale, burst forth from the earth.

However, at the base of its tail, there is an iron chain that tightly connects it to the earth.

"Next, summon the Tuner monster [Earthbound Prisoner Earthline Inspector]."

Another pitch-black monster emerged from the ground, but this time, the patterns engraved on its body were orange, and two chains connected its thick arms to the earth. A cluster of eerie purple flames burned faintly at its severed waist.

"Next, I will activate the Spell Card [Otherworldly Resonance Synchro? Fusion] from my hand."

What kind of card is this?

Upon hearing the card name from Sergei, Yuya was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected that a single card name could contain both Fusion and Synchro Summoning methods. This momentarily made him pause, and he even forgot to activate the effect of [Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon] to negate the card's effect.

"Based on its effect, use two monsters on the field as materials to perform Synchro Summon and Fusion Summon."

As the materialized card flashed, identical phantom images instantly appeared next to the two monsters beside Sergei.

This also surprised the host and the audience:

"What? Sergei actually declared that he would perform both Synchro Summoning and Fusion Summoning simultaneously?"

"I'm using a level 5 [Giant Rock Sweeper] and a level 3 [Ground Wire Inspector] to adjust the star rating!"

This was the first time Yuya could hear excitement in Sergei's usually calm and collected voice.

"Awaken from the earth! Winged behemoth of broken rings! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 8, [Earthbound Griffin]!"

A jet-black griffin with green patterns took flight, its head and body appearing as if encased in torture instruments.
