Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

With trembling fingers, Soga, like Yusei when faced with a choice before, made his difficult decision: "I choose to activate my second effect, negating and destroying the effects of Spells, Trap Cards, and Monsters that target Machine-Type monsters on my field!"

"Appear! Immortal Superalloy Shield!!!"

With a desperate scream from the android Soga, a shield made of transparent energy appeared on its field.

Meanwhile, the meteorite had already landed not far above its head.

"Hehehehehe... Now you can't hurt me!!!"

"Kid, just wait until I get through this wave, you'll be in for a surprise!"

As the Meteorite Man was about to deliver a devastating blow to him, the android Soga couldn't help but show a smug expression.

Although it was still enveloped by an increasingly intense pressure and could barely move its body, the image of the meteorite being blocked by the alloy shield and Yusei's shocked expression appearing in its mind...

That wretched brat... how dare you humiliate me like this! I won't be satisfied until I've skinned you alive and turned you into a human pig!

"Hehehe... Hahahahahaha!!!"

Seeing the smug and somewhat relieved expression on the face of the android Soga, Yusei, realizing what was going on, couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"That laughter... it's started again..."

Recalling the fear of being dominated by "Genmei," Marufuji Sho sensed terror from Yusei's laughter and involuntarily shrank back.

"The android Soga... is doomed now..." Daitokuji-sensei made this announcement, pushing up his glasses.

"Huh? Why? Didn't the android just activate a Quick-Play Spell Card and create an alloy shield to protect itself? Logically, the effect of [Primal Life Form Nibiru] should have been negated, right..."

Upon hearing Daitokuji's words, Hayato, filled with questions, couldn't help but voice his own doubts.

"No! It was the android Soga who made a mistake..." Jaden Yuki, turning his gaze to the dueling arena, slowly explained, "If I heard correctly, [Primal Life Form Nibiru] should have an effect that doesn't target any specific enemy..."

"In other words, the target-ignoring effect of the [Immortal Special Alloy] cannot affect the [Primal Lifeform Nibiru], which does not target..."

With a slightly uncertain expression on his face, Jaden Yuki took out his deck from the card pouch at his waist.

As he spread out his deck, he immediately spotted the four Elemental HERO characters (Winged Man, Burst Girl, Clay Man, and Flash).

"If it were me, what should I do now?"

Putting himself in the shoes of Jaden Yuki, the Android Soga, he began to ponder how to counter Meteorite with his current deck...

After thinking for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion: do not perform five or more Summon or Special Summoning actions in one round.

……

"What a pity... Soga..."

Facing the hideous android opposite him, its eyes burning with hatred and killing intent almost tangible, Yusei uttered merciless words: "Meteorite... the effect of [Primal Life Form Nibiru] is activated against the duelist himself, not against the monsters on your field, so your Shield of Immortality is essentially wasted..."

Suppressing a laugh, Yusei struck a farewell pose towards the android Soga. "Goodbye, android Soga, if there's a chance to meet again..."

He's always been pretty good at last-hitting minions.

"What did you say……?"

The android Soga, who uttered the words slowly and deliberately, had his pupils dilate rapidly in shock and fear after hearing Yusei's words.

"No...it's impossible!...How...how could this happen?!?"

With all its might, it let out an out-of-control shout, unwilling to believe Yusei's words, and set its gaze on the super alloy energy shield in mid-air.

This shield is its last hope!

However, in the android Soga's pupils, which were widening in terror, Meteorite, carrying intense heat and flames, crashed through the Alloy Shield's defenses and slammed into Soga's arena, engulfing its desperate cries along with a host of monsters around it...

The super alloy shield, a culmination of scientific wisdom and the one on which the android Soga placed his hopes, offered no resistance whatsoever. Accompanied by Soga's desperate cries, it shattered in mid-air, turning into dust and vanishing without a trace from the field...

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Dust filled the air as the meteorite struck, and a large amount of smoke was generated in the explosion, enveloping the surroundings and preventing outside exploration.

The android Soga, who was at the very center of the blast, vanished without a trace. It's unknown whether he turned into dust in the air or into a glimmer of light that dissipated into the sky...

241 Stop! This isn't a real duel! (4K)

Because of the effect of [Primitive Life Form Nibiru], the android Soga, who should have entered battle mode to deal massive damage to Yusei, was reduced to ashes along with the monster before he could even attack.

Now that he has lost his opponent, is it still necessary for Yusei to continue the duel...?

And how should the outcome of this duel be decided...?

These are all issues that need to be considered...

In short, judging from the results, the impact of Meteorite Man hitting the ground directly engulfed all four monsters, including the android Soga, and also caused the effects of the android Soga's spirit to disappear from the surrounding area.

The high-voltage electric grid that had surrounded the group and blocked their escape route disappeared from the surroundings as the android Soga fell.

The path out of here has been opened, so everyone can leave this old power generation facility without having to continue the duel.

"So, how's it going? What's the situation now...?"

With one hand covering her mouth and the other arm waving, Jaden Yuki began to survey her surroundings.

The billowing dust obstructed everyone's vision, causing Jaden Yuki to lose his way.

"I don't know, bro... that android Soga just now, it seems like he was killed by a meteorite that fell from the sky..."

Sho Marufuji put his glasses, which had fallen to the ground due to the impact, back on his nose and said somewhat uncertainly.

"(⊙o⊙)...Oh no...the duelist is gone, can this duel still continue?"

Hayato, who had been in a state of shock ever since the meteorite appeared, finally came to his senses and raised a thought-provoking question.

Android Soga is a spirit that merged with a Duel Monster. Now that the monster has disappeared from the field, it should naturally be sent to the graveyard along with it, according to normal logic.

However, whether this graveyard is the same place as the Duel Disk graveyard is unknown...

Ask questions!

If your opponent is suddenly killed during a duel, how should the outcome be judged?

……

"Uh……"

Scratching his head, Yusei, the instigator of all this, was speechless after hearing Hayato's words.

Before using the meteorite, he himself did not expect it to cause such an unexpected result.

Originally, he only planned to give his opponent an 11-star treasure when they were at their most triumphant.

However, perhaps due to the influence of the Dark Duel, the duel footage became more realistic, and the act of activating an effect to Special Summon a monster turned into a spectacular scene of falling meteors, and even turned the opponent into light in the end...

"Moshi Moshi... Is Meteorite Man there?"

Gathering his palms in front of his mouth, Yusei made a calling gesture towards the mist obstructing his vision, searching for the monsters on his field.

After releasing all the monsters on the field, in addition to summoning a [Primal Life Form Token] (ATK? DEF?) on the opponent's field, Yusei will also Special Summon [Primal Life Form Nibiru] (ATK 3000 DEF 600) from his hand to his field.

In other words, two monsters could be born from a single meteorite.

Meteorite, representing the light of justice, and Nibiru, representing the dark side of justice.

"call--"

As Yusei called out, a strong wind suddenly began to rise around him, dispersing the smoke and dust around him.

Then a humanoid creature covered in meteorite fragments, reflecting a dazzling light in the night, appeared in front of Yusei, pushing aside the surrounding smoke.

This monster, born from a meteorite, inherited all the effects and attributes of the [Primal Life Form Nibiru], and its appearance also shows some characteristics of extraterrestrial life forms.

"boom!"

At the other end of the field, in the direction where the meteorite struck, the same storm swept into the sky, dispersing the surrounding smoke.

As the smoke that had been billowing around them gradually dissipated, the situation on the dueling field slowly came into view.

"This is……"

Looking at the situation on the field, Yusei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The area where the android Soga was originally located has been smashed into a large crater visible to the naked eye, and inside the crater are fragments of the broken meteorite.

The Meteorite Man who appeared in front of Yusei was a monster that emerged from this fragment.

And within these meteorite fragments, there exists another life form.

Replacing the android Soga on the opposing field is a cosmic life form that originally existed beneath the shell of the [Primal Life Form Nibiru], representing the dark side.

Emerging from the rubble, it had a snake's tail and a human body. Its upper body had multiple arms with snake heads at the tips, and its lower body was a huge snake tail like that of a reptilian monster.

The alien creature, with hair twisted like Medusa's and several thick tentacles extending from its body, was shrouded in shadow.

The cosmic life form before us is called the "Primitive Life Form Derivative," and it is a parasitic entity on a meteorite, similar to the cosmic virus "Deoxys" in Pokémon.

These are creatures that fell to Earth along with the 11th-star monster, the Primal Life Form Nibiru.

"Roar!!!"

Facing Yuxing not far in front of him and Meteorite Man guarding him, [Primitive Life Form Derivative] revealed his golden eyes, which seemed to be burning.

From Yusei's perspective, he could vaguely sense the intense pressure emanating from the monster opposite him...

"Attack and defense are both '?' What kind of monster is this?"

Looking at the cosmic life form that emerged from the crater—no, it should be said that crawled out—Marufuji Sho couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

The question mark (?) represents the unknown, terror, and uncertainty...

In some ways, monsters with an attack power of ? are more powerful than effect monsters with an attack power of 0!

"The monster has appeared as usual... So, does that mean the android Soga is still alive?" Noticing the blind spot, Yusei looked past the [Primitive Life Form Derivative] standing not far in front of him and began to observe the scene behind it.

Since the monster's image hasn't disappeared, it means the duel is still undecided.

The android Soga, who still has 3900 health points, doesn't seem to be giving up even after losing his body.

So at this moment, it must still be observing the situation around here.

"...It's not over yet!"
