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

"Although I know this guy also possesses the [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon], this feeling is really strange."

However, for Yuma and the others who had never seen the [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] before, the appearance of such a level 8 monster with an attack power of 3000 and a defense power of 2500, comparable to the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], was already quite a shock.

As they watched the photon dragon slowly coalesce within the particles of light, unleashing a deafening roar, Yuma, the shark, and even Land King and Sea King were all filled with awe.

"They can actually control such a monster?"

"It's not over yet! Next up is this [Galaxy-Eyed Residual Light Dragon]!"

Before the group could recover from the shock of the [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon], Soreva revealed another dragon from his hand.

"If you control a [Galaxy-Eyes] monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position! Come to Photon Dragon's side, [Galaxy-Eyes Residual Light Dragon]!"

In the afterglow of the [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]'s appearance, the light particles that had not yet completely dissipated gathered again, transforming into a dragon beast similar to the [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon], except that its blue light dragon body was covered with a layer of silver-white armor.

Seeing that Soleva had already gathered two Level 8 monsters on the field, Kaito once again recalled the [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon] that Soleva had shown him during their duel that day:

"Is he going to summon that [Lightwave Dragon] again?"

"Now I have two Level 8 monsters on the field. I'll stack these two Level 8 monsters! I'll build a stacking network!"

But just when Kaito thought Soleva was about to summon [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon], he suddenly realized that Soleva wasn't chanting the same summoning incantation as before.

"The Great Explosion of the Galaxy's Creation! Its fluctuations guide me toward dominance! Xyz Summon! Descend, [No. 90 Galaxy Eye, Guang Ziqing]!"

As the knight, clad in layers of deep blue heavy armor and silver-white light armor, possessing a photon body and wielding a triangular photon sword, appeared on the Soreva field, shock reappeared in everyone's eyes:

"This is a brand new [No.] card!?"

However, the astral body, the original owner of the [No.] card, noticed something unusual:

“This card is strange. Although it does have similar power and aura to this [No.] card, it is different from my [No.] card, and I cannot sense my memories in it.”

"Huh? Astral body, what does that mean?"

The starlight body's evaluation of [No. 90 Galaxy Eye Photon] reached Yuma's ears perfectly, instantly prompting him to ask a question in confusion.

Faced with Yuma's confusion, the astral body could only try to explain in a way that Yuma could understand:

"Simply put, that [No. 90 Galaxy Eye Photon] shouldn't be a [No.] card that was separated from me. But apart from [No.] cards being separated from me, there shouldn't be any other [No.] cards."

"So, Mr. Soreva's card was a counterfeit?"

"Maybe so. But if they were going to make a counterfeit, they should already have the original [No.] card, so there's no need for them to go through all this trouble, right?"

As he spoke, the astral body couldn't help but turn its gaze to Soreva.

"How many secrets does this man still hold?"

Meanwhile, Soreva had to continue putting on a show, so she naturally had no time to pay attention to Yuma's casual conversation with the Astral Sphere.

"Next, I usually summon [Galaxy Mage] from my hand and stack the Level 4 [Galaxy Mage] and [Photon Exterminator] to build a stacking network!"

The mage, dressed in a white robe and draped in a black cloak, appeared and, along with the sniper wielding a gun, transformed into a ball of light, disappearing into the void created by the Xyz Summon.

"Xyz Summon! Appear! [Radiant Dragon Photon Blast Dragon]!"

Instantly, a giant dragon clad in black and white armor emerged from the hole and landed beside [Galaxy Eye Guang Ziqing].

Finally, Soreva took one card from his remaining two cards and placed it face down on his Tyrannosaurus D deck:

Finally, place one card face down to end the turn.

Soreva's round has ended, which also means that the first round of this 2-on-2-on-2 melee has come to a close, and it's time for each partner's round to begin.

Meanwhile, the thug Sea King, dressed all in white except for red showing at the collar and cuffs, also began his turn:

"My turn, draw a card! I summon [Crown-Headed Blizzard Dinosaur]!"

As the snow swirled, a completely black dinosaur, its body and crest adorned with icy blue crystals, suddenly appeared on his field. But just as Soreva thought he could make a few more moves than his companion, Lu Wang…

"I place two cards face down, end of turn!"

Well, two more covers, but in this way, Lu Wang and Hai Wang have covered four backcourt cards, which in a way can be considered the underworld.

Seeing this, Soreva couldn't help but stroke his chin and think of a countermeasure. After all, the [Galaxy Eye] deck has very few resistances and is relatively weak against magic and trap cards.

However, what he might need to worry about even more now is the shark that has taken this round:

"My turn, draw a card!"

Chapter 282: The mutual destruction between the shark and the land and sea kings; the duel is about to reach its climax.

The shark, having drawn a card from its deck, unceremoniously slapped it onto its D panel:

"I hereby Normal Summon [Giantmouth Shark]!"

Immediately afterwards, another card was revealed.

"Then, Special Summon [Sticky Shark]! This monster can be Special Summoned when a Fish-Type monster is successfully Summoned!"

In this way, the shark has now gathered two Level 3 monsters on the field, and this somewhat familiar scene made Soreva guess what the shark was going to do next:

"It must be [Air Shark] again, right?"

Sure enough, right after Soreva made this guess, the shark stacked the two monsters on top of each other:

"I've stacked two Level 3 [Giantmouth Shark] and [Sticky Shark]! I'm building a stacking network with these two monsters! Xyz Summon! Appear, [Submarine Carrier Aerial Shark]!"

As the monster formed by two giant sharks burst from the ground, the sharks promptly activated their effect.

"Monster effect activated! Once per turn, remove 1 Xyz Material, and inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each card in your hand! I have four cards in my hand, so I inflict 1600 damage to Lu Wang!"

However, just as Astral was marveling at the shark's "inability to attack in the first round, it can still deal effect damage, which is a really good tactic," Soreva frowned.

His summoning and special summoning of the shark were not interfered with, which means that the trap cards of both the Sea King and the Land King should not be the type that blocks summoning.

Could it be a trap card designed to counter such monster effects?

As the missiles fired by [Submarine Carrier Shark] exploded around Lu Wang, Lu Wang's LP dropped to 2400 points, and even Yuma cheered.

But Lu Wang was not discouraged at all; instead, he grinned wickedly as if his plan had succeeded.

"Hmph, I knew you'd do that."

Then, Land King and Sea King exchanged a glance, and Sea King, understanding the unspoken message, opened a trap card he had placed face down:

"Trap Card activated! [Blizzard Egg LV5]!"

A flash of white light, and an egg made of ice crystals exploded on the Sea King's field. Amidst the blizzard created by the exploding egg, the Sea King began explaining the card's effect.

"When this card deals damage by effect, Special Summon a Level 5 monster from the hand of the player who took the damage! However, if the monster is not Special Summoned, that player takes 500 damage!"

Upon hearing this, Soreva's eyebrows twitched slightly:

"Interesting card. I wonder if it can be combined with cards like [Destruction Wheel] to build a Rank 5 burn deck. That way, not only can the damage of [Destruction Wheel] be further increased, but a tank that absorbs damage can also be played on your field..."

However, after just a brief thought, Soreva dismissed the idea. After all, based on the burn decks he had built, spell cards and trap cards were the dominant elements, and the conditions for this card to be Special Summoned from the hand were rather demanding for a pure burn deck.

However, since Neptune and Land King both have this card, and Land King even gestured to Neptune, it means that he meets the conditions at this time, right?

As expected, King Lu quickly picked out a card from his hand and said:

"Found it! I'll Special Summon this Level 5 [Morphing Lava Dinosaur]!"

As the card fell from Lu Wang's hand, a monster resembling Godzilla, with crimson crystals growing on its back and slowly radiating heat, slowly rose up in the swirling snow and let out a roar.

Right after this monster appeared, King Lu triumphantly revealed a face-down card from his hand:

"Then I activated the Trap Card, [Flame Egg LV5]!"

This time, what appeared from the card was a stone egg burning with blazing lava. Immediately afterward, the stone egg exploded, bringing with it a blast of intense heat, and Lu Wang spoke amidst this heat:

"When you take effect damage, your ally can Special Summon a Level 5 monster from their hand! However, if they cannot Special Summon it, they will take 500 damage."

Soreva's assessment of this card is that it's completely inferior to the previous one. After all, the previous card could be used even in a single duel, while this one can only be used in a two-player duel, and it summons a teammate's monster.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the fact that Land King and Sea King communicated with each other, this kind of card would inevitably annoy teammates.

However, for Neptune and Land King, who were constantly dueling as a team, this wasn't exactly a disadvantage. Immediately, Neptune pulled a card from his hand:

"I Special Summon the Level 5 [Staring Iceberg Dinosaur] in Defense Position!"

In an instant, the Brachiosaurus, carrying icy blue ice crystals and with blue skin, rose from the ground and appeared on Poseidon's field, causing Yuma's eyes to widen in astonishment:

"Are you kidding me? You summoned two level 5 monsters in one go?"

Yu Ma's shock instantly became a source of pride for Lu Wang and Hai Wang, who began to boast in unison:

"Did you see that? Our perfect teamwork!"

"No one has ever beaten the two of us brothers in a team duel!"

After his initial triumph, Lu Wang began to retaliate against the shark's previous wave of damage effects:

"Take this, Lingya, you traitor! Trap Card [Angry Gaze LV5] activated! For every Level 5 monster we control, we can deal 500 damage to our opponent! We have two Level 5 monsters on the field right now, so we can deal you 1000 damage!"

With the help of the trap card, the eyes of the two dinosaurs turned red instantly, and they shot out crimson light waves that hit the shark directly, reducing the shark's LP from 4000 points to 3000 points.

The shark, having suffered such damage, ultimately chose to simply set two cards face down and end its turn.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Kaito stepped forward and took over the round after the shark's defeat. However, the mutual damage between the shark and the sea king and land king just now made him feel quite strange, as if he and Soreva were being ignored by both sides.

"I Special Summon [Photon Slasher]. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand if you control no monsters!"

With a flash of light, a warrior wielding a long sword appeared instantly, and Kaito revealed his other card at that moment.

"Next, I Special Summon [Light-Stealing Thruster]! This card can be Special Summoned from your hand when you control a monster with 2000 or more ATK!"

With an attack power of 2000, a warrior wearing red armor and carrying four small, satellite-like solar panels appeared on Kaito's field, instantly giving Kaito two monsters with attack power of over 2000.

Immediately, Kaito revealed [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] from his hand:

"I release two monsters with 2000 or more ATK from my field! Special Summon [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]! This time, descend upon my field, incarnation of light!"

The Photon Dragon, which appeared on Soreva's field in the previous round, appeared on Kaito's field this time, prompting Yuma to exclaim in surprise:

"This is a dragon just like the uncle!"

Kaito then immediately set a card face-down in his back row:

"Then, I place a card face down, and the turn ends!"

At this point, all six have completed their first round. Starting in the next round, all six will be able to command their monsters to attack, and the duel will soon reach its truly brutal climax.
