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

Faced with the stunned question posed by Akama Zero, Soreva spoke again:

"I said, what I just said was said by Zero herself. You say I'm not Zero, so what do I know about Zero? Well then, I'll tell you."

Now, Zero's soul resides within my body; I know Zero far better than you do.

"No, that's impossible, I don't believe it!"

Watching Akaba Zero King retreat step by step until he crashed into the glass dome behind him and stopped, attempting to deceive himself, Soleva immediately raised his wrist and unfolded his Duel Disk:

"If you don't believe me, then let's duel! I'll use the deck that Zero's soul resides in, and let you and Zero have a talk yourself."

"Okay, okay! Then..."

"Duel!" ×2

"Alright, hurry up, let me see Zero!"

From Red Horse Zero's urgent words, Soreva understood that he wasn't planning to compete with him for the first strike, but...

"Can this first move really summon Zero?"

With a sigh, Soreva had no choice but to play, so he immediately took one card from his hand and placed it into the Duel Disk.

"Then, I activate the Field Spell Card from my hand, [Sky Striker Zone 0]!"

As the card was sent in and operated, the floor of the originally dark throne room of Akama Zero King instantly lit up with a large red air raid symbol, and near this red symbol, there were also a considerable number of yellow symbols.

Immediately afterwards, Soreva sent another card into the Duel Disk.

"I set a card face-down and activate the effect of [Sky Striker Sky Zone - Zero Zone]! Target one card on your field other than this card, you can reveal the top three cards of your Deck, add one [Sky Striker] card to your hand, and return the remaining cards to your Deck. If a [Sky Striker] card is revealed, the targeted card is sent to the Graveyard."

Now, using the face-down card as the target, I'll flip over the top three cards of the deck!

The moment Soleva finished speaking, the first card was ejected from the Duel Disk.

"[Effect Masker]? What are you doing here at a time like this!?"

the second one.

"[Flash Blade - Black Widow Anchor Grab]?"

Although it's a good card, he can't use it right now! If the next card he flips over isn't the one he needs, then he'll have to send the face-down card to the graveyard and add this card to his hand.

So, only the third card, which is a gamble with fate, remains.

"[Flash Blade Mechanism - Multi-Task Battle Blade Machine]!? Great!"

Without hesitation, Soreva added [Sky Blade Machine - Multi-Task Battle Blade] to his hand and, in the next second, sent it to the Duel Disk.

"I activate a Continuous Spell, [Sky Blade Machine - Multi-Task Blade]! And activate its effect! Once per turn, you can target 1 card on your field other than this card to activate this effect!"

This turn, your opponent cannot activate the effects of Spell, Trap, or Monster cards in response to the activation of their own Spell Cards! Furthermore, the targeted card must be sent to the Graveyard!

The card I chose as the target is a Field Spell, [Sky Striker Sky Zone 0]!

"Oh? So the goal is to send this Land Spell Card to the Graveyard?"

Seeing Soleva activate such a costly effect against an empty field, Akama Zero instantly understood that what Soleva needed was not the effect, but the cost.

Soon, as the air raid markers on the ground disappeared, Soreva's voice rang out again:

"Another effect of [Sky Striker Sky Zone 0] is activated! When this card is sent from the Field Zone to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can Special Summon 1 [Sky Striker Princess] monster from your Deck!"

Come on, [Sky Striker Princess - Zero]!

Chapter 207 We are very tenacious

A hexagonal teleportation tunnel opened in front of Soleva, and a girl dressed in a black and white military uniform with gold trim, wearing black leather shoes and holding a black katana covered with red patterns, appeared on Soleva's field.

However, compared to the youthful appearance of the platinum blonde-haired girl in the card art, the girl with brownish-red hair and light red highlights in twin tails who actually appeared on Soreva's field now looked much more mature.

The moment he saw her face, tears welled up in Akama Rei's eyes:

“Zero Yi…”

Faced with her father's call, Lingyi also began to persuade him:

"Dad, stop! As I am now, it's enough for me to see you and others find happiness. I don't need to be resurrected, so please stop hurting others, Dad!"

Faced with Zero's persuasion, a flicker of interest flashed in Akama Zero's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by his stubbornness:

"No, this is so unfair! You saved everyone, so why can't you be happy?! I will definitely bring you back to life and let you live happily in a brand new world!"

Seeing that her father still wouldn't listen to her advice, a flash of disappointment crossed Zero's eyes, and she said to Soreva:

“I’m sorry, Soreva, I couldn’t persuade my father. Please, use your duel to help stop his ambitions.”

"I understand, then..."

Having understood Zero's meaning, Soreva didn't hesitate, raising her palm and beginning to chant.

"Summoning conditions: One Sky Striker monster other than WATER! I will use my Sky Striker Zero as Link Material and set a Link Arrow!"

The ripples of flowing water purify this turbid world! Let it become a shield of clean water, protecting hope! Link Summon! Link 1, [Sky Striker Princess - Shizuku]!

A deep blue door appeared, but this time, unlike the other monsters, Zero didn't turn into a red light. Instead, she raised her hand and hurled the black katana covered in red patterns, a weapon called the Flash Blade.

In an instant, the flying blade transformed into a red light, illuminating the arrow in the upper right corner of the door.

Lingyi followed suit, leaping high into the doorway.

On the other side of the door, Zero reappeared, but now she was wearing a suit of armor that was mainly dark blue. Two giant shields extending from her back and three giant shields around her waist provided her with ample defense.

Soreva then immediately sent the two cards in his hand to the Duel Disk:

"Then, I place two cards face down, and the turn ends!"

There's no way around it; [Sky Striker] goes first, especially with such a bad hand, it's basically a death sentence for the Water Blade. However, before the end of the turn, there's one more thing he can do…

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Shizuku]! You can activate this effect during the End Phase of the turn this card is Special Summoned: Add one [Sky Striker] Spell Card with the same name that is not in your Graveyard from your Deck to your hand!"

And the magic card I chose is…”

Soleva took the card he had chosen from the Duel Disk and then revealed it to Zero the Red Horse.

"[Flash Blade Activation - Flash Strike]! Alright, now it's officially your turn, Red Horse Zero King!"

"Alright, in that case, it's my turn, draw a card!"

Adding the top card of his deck to his hand, and looking at Zero, now standing before him in her dark blue mecha armor, Akama Zero couldn't help but sigh.

"Link Summoning, is this the power you wield? Even I, the inventor of the physical image system, could only recreate the power of Pendulum Summoning; the attempt to recreate Link Summoning always ended in failure. Can you tell me how you did it?"

"It's a pity, I'm not the creator of Link Summoning, so I can't answer your question. You can think of Link Summoning as a miracle of the future, and I'm just the one who brought this miracle here."

Upon hearing Soreva's words, whether they were a cover-up or the truth, Akama Zero smiled calmly:

"A miracle of the future? But what I need more is the real thing that I can hold in my hands right now! Let me show you the power I have actually obtained! I will set the [Elf Furnace] at scale 1 and the [Elf Crystal - Wind Crystal Core] at scale 8 in my hand to the Pendulum scale!"

Instantly, two beams of light rose up beside King Chima.

Within a beam of light was a purple glass sphere with bronze ends and gold accents in the center. At the center of the glass sphere, something seemed to be surrounded by three concentric rings of light.

In another beam of light, a perfectly round monster, resembling an energy core, appeared. Its outer ring was evenly distributed with four green gems, guarding the largest emerald pearl in the center, which had dark green patterns.

Beneath their bodies, the numbers 1 and 8 were respectively engraved.

"Now, you can use Pendulum Summon monsters from level 2 to level 7!"

O spirits dwelling in heaven and earth! My hands, cleansed of sin and defilement, become the foundation for the world's rebirth! Pendulum Summon! Appear, [Spirit Machine Army - Pendulum Overseer]! And [Spirit Crystal - Fire Crystal Core]!

As Akama Zero raised his hand high, two orbs of light, one red and one gold, fell from the hole opened between the two pillars of light, transforming into two monsters on his field.

One of them, with its golden-red color resembling that of the [Wind Crystal Core], was undoubtedly the [Fire Crystal Core]. The other [Pendulum Overlord] had a pure white humanoid upper body growing out of the lower half of a cylindrical machine, and a pair of golden wings with halos suddenly unfolded on its back.

As the two monsters arrived, the voice of Zero the Red Horse rang out:

"Now, I activate the effect of [Fire Crystal Core]! Once during the Main Phase of the turn this card is Pendulum Summoned from Attack Position, target 1 monster on the field, destroy that monster, and inflict 800 damage to your opponent!"

I choose to destroy your [Sky Striker Princess - Shizuku]!

Instantly, a red beam of light burst forth from the [Fire Crystal Core], slamming heavily into Zero, who was wearing the [Shizuku] armor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, Soreva's LP dropped to 3200 points.

"That way, you won't have any monsters on your field!"

The response to Akaba Zero's resolute statement was a rhetorical question from Soreva:

Do you really think so?

As the smoke cleared, Zero was astonished to find that Zero was still on Soleva's field, but she was no longer wearing [Shizuku]'s mecha, but the slightly thin military uniform she had worn at the beginning.

"[Sky Striker Princess Zero]'s effect! If this card is in your Graveyard and a face-up [Sky Striker Princess] Link Monster on your field leaves the field due to an opponent's card effect or is destroyed by battle, Special Summon this card!"

After explaining why Zero was still on the field, Soreva immediately gave Akama Zero a somewhat sly smile.

"What a pity, Zero and I are very tenacious!"

Chapter 208 The Defeat of Zero King, Tremors from Beneath the Ground

"Stop using such petty tricks! Well then, attack [Sky Striker Princess - Zero], [Elf Machine Army - Pendulum Overseer]!"

At the command of King Chima, the upper body of [Elf Machine Army - Pendulum Overseer] instantly clasped together, and golden energy balls instantly gathered, as if they were about to be sprayed towards Zero on the Soreva field in the next second.

And at that moment, Soreva's voice rang out:

"Now! I activate the effect of [Sky Striker Princess - Zero]! I Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 [Sky Striker Princess] monster from my Extra Deck! This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn!"

A mech formed from solid rock, bearing the weight of mountains! Shake the earth with this mighty fist! Link 1, [Sky Striker Princess - Quine]!

Orange-yellow light gathered around Zero, gradually outlining the solid shape of her mecha and the appearance of four giant fists on her shoulders and legs.

"Then, I activate the effect of [Quine]! When this card is Special Summoned, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and that monster cannot attack until the end of your opponent's turn!"

Now, cease the attack of [Elf Machine Army - Pendulum Overseer]!

As Soreva's voice rang out, a giant fist from Zero's waist flew out instantly, grabbing the upper body of [Pendulum Overseer], while the energy ball that had just been formed dissipated in that instant.

"hateful!"

Seeing [Pendulum Overlord]'s attack nullified, Zero the Red Horse cursed under his breath. But after glancing at his [Fire Crystal Core], which had only 0 attack power on the field, and the two cards in his hand, he immediately sent the two cards into the Duel Disk.

"Then, I discard one card from my hand and activate a Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand, [Super Polymerization]! I use [Fire Crystal Core] and [Elf Machine Army - Pendulum Overseer] from my field as materials to fuse them!"
