Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

He also has the spell card 【Miracle Fusion】 in his deck, but unlike Yusei, he can use it flexibly and in a way that is interconnected.

In terms of dueling skills, he is currently far behind Yusei, who is a veteran player in the OCG.

Once we get the "New Space" family package, we should be able to supplement this aspect.

"[Elemental HERO Earth Knight]'s effect activated! When this card is Fusion Summoned, target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; until the end of this turn, that monster's ATK becomes half of its current ATK, and this card's ATK increases by that amount!"

"The monster I've chosen as the target of my activation... is naturally the [Primal Life Form Token] (ATK 9100/DEF 5600) on your field!"

Yusei opened his palm towards the Earth Warrior in front of him and immediately activated his Monster Effect.

The death knell of the underworld emanated from Yusei's mouth, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope for the android Soga.

"The [Primitive Life Form Derivative] currently has an attack power of 9100. If it is halved, it will be 4550..."

Upon hearing Yusei's words, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but start counting the changing values ​​on his fingers.

"Not only that, this reduction will also be added to Earth Hero's stats!"

"In other words, the Earth Warrior, whose original attack power was 2200, will have 4550 more attack power points added, making it 6750 points..."

Adjusting his glasses, Master Daitokuji couldn't help but look at Yusei in front of him with an approving gaze.

Because of Earth Knight's effect, the [Primitive Life Form Derivative], which possesses nearly 10,000 attack points, instantly became a tool for Yusei to unleash his monster attack power...

"Nani?"

"Earth Warrior! Absorb Nibiru's attack power—take this! Crimson Light!"

Just as the android Soga uttered a surprised exclamation, Yusei had already given instructions to Earthman.

Upon receiving the command, Earth Knight opened its right arm directly towards the [Primitive Life Form Derivative], aiming the arm with the huge cannon barrel at the alien life form whose pupils were burning—Nibiru.

Giant mechanical Gundam VS Distorted alien monster

This scene feels like stepping onto the set of "Ring of the Arctic Ocean"...

……

A crimson light suddenly shot out from the massive cannon barrel, instantly annihilating a portion of the [Primal Life Form Derivative] in the defense position into dust in the air.

Nibiru, whose body was partially bathed in crimson light, decisively extended several twisted tentacles to separate the affected part of his body from himself. He then retreated to the side and began to rapidly unleash his regenerative abilities.

"Slurp slurp—"

The part of its body that had been annihilated by Earth Knight's crimson light quickly returned to its original state. With the crimson light in its eyes gone, it dragged its body back to its original position.

The incident happened in an instant; before anyone could react, Earthshaker had already inflicted massive damage on Nibiru.

Only the cannon barrel emitting black smoke in Earthshaker's hand proved that he had indeed taken action just now, absorbing nearly half of Nibiru's energy...

Although Nibiru quickly utilized the advantages of being an alien life form to regenerate rapidly and return to its original form after being attacked.

However, the cosmic energy within its body, due to the damage it had suffered, still flowed out and drifted towards Earth Knight, where it was completely absorbed by the jewel embedded in his body.

Earthwalker, having absorbed Nibiru's cosmic energy, swelled to three times its original size, and its attack power increased by half of Nibiru's, reaching 6750 points!

Now, even when facing a [Primal Life Form Derivative] with 5600 points of defense, he is able to break through its defenses.

"There's... such a thing?"

Hearing the nightmare voice coming from Yusei's mouth and seeing the visible changes in Daemon, the android Soga, realizing the desperate situation before him, collapsed to the ground.

The advantage is no longer on my side...

Meteor Warrior with 3000 attack power, Sunrise Warrior with 2500 attack power, and Earth Warrior with attack power skyrocketing to 6750...

For the android Soga with 3900 health points, it is undoubtedly a devastating existence...

This situation is exactly the opposite of what happened before.

In the previous round, Android Soga, who had summoned four android monsters, was still smugly fantasizing about the wonderful life he would lead after winning the duel, absorbing Yusei and the others, and thus becoming even stronger after his resurrection.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation took a dramatic eighty-degree turn...

The catalyst for all this change was a meteorite—[Primitive Life Form Nibiru]...

The life of the android Soga, who was struck head-on by Meteorite, was over.

Now, it's nothing more than a pathetic creature clinging to Takaji...

"It's not over yet! The second effect of [Elemental HERO Sunrise Warrior] is that the ATK of monsters you control increases by 200 points for each of the monsters' attributes!"

"Since I have both LIGHT and EARTH monsters on my field, the ATK of all monsters on my field will increase by 400 points!"

(Nibiru's attack power in its original life form: 3000 → 3400)

(Elemental Hero Sunrise Warrior's attack power: 2500 → 2900)

(Elemental Hero Earth Warrior's Attack Power: 6750 → 7150)

With his cloak billowing behind him, facing the rising sun on the horizon, Sunrise Knight once again stretched out his arm.

Under the sun's radiance, the three monsters on the planetary field were strengthened once again!

"Battle has begun! [Elemental Hero Earth Warrior] attacks [Primitive Life Form Derivative]!"

Although there's still one more chance for a special attack this round, allowing for further developments, and with enough resources to surprise the opponent even more...

However, having made his decision, Yusei no longer intended to continue the stalemate.

Unlike the android Soga, he has no intention of continuing to taunt his opponents.

The murderer must be prepared to be killed himself!

As the initiator of the Dark Game, the android Soga, who wanted to use Yusei and his friends as sacrifices for his resurrection, was undoubtedly an enemy to Yusei!

When dealing with enemies, there's no need to worry about anything anymore.

……

Facing the [Primal Life Form Derivative] in the defense position, the Earth Warrior, empowered by the power of the sun and radiating golden light, clenched his fist, which was several times larger than its original size, and swung it directly at it.

That simple, unadorned punch brought a devastating impact.

Unlike the previous crimson light that only grazed part of its body, this time the iron fist was a solid, head-on god-slaying blow.

Even extraterrestrial life forms with superhuman regenerative abilities could not survive this attack imbued with the power of the sun...

With an attack power of 7150 against a defense power of 5600, the result was a foregone conclusion. There wasn't even a need to activate the third effect of Sunrise Knight to destroy the [Primal Life Form Derivative]...

"Disappear, you android Zorga!"

"Meteorite and Sunrise directly attack Takaji (the android Soga)!"

"Hero Combo Skill - Fiery Meteor!"

Nibiru, the humanoid form of the light attribute Meteorite, and Sunrise, the sun hero who is also of the light attribute, simultaneously unleash their attacks in front of Yusei.

In the dazzling light, the meteorite strike, imbued with the power of the blazing sun, sent Takaji's body, along with the android Soga within him, soaring into the sky...

In this way, the two monsters dealt a total of 6300 points of damage, reducing the android Soga's health to 0.

243 Omens of Darkness

Meteorite and Sunrise, the combined attack of the two heroes, shattered the android Soga's last hope, sending him flying into the air.

(Homo Plug's HP: 3900 → 0)

With the Android Soga's health points reaching zero, the duel ended in Yusei's victory.

As the rising sun heralded the arrival of dawn, the illusory form of the android Soga was forcibly separated from Koji's body along with the impact.

"Damn it...Damn it!"

"This shouldn't be happening...this shouldn't be happening!!!"

"I was so close, just a tiny bit more, to be resurrected..."

"I can not be reconciled!!!"

"I'm not reconciled!!!!"

Resentment, bitterness, regret...

A variety of negative emotions spread through the android Soga's chest.

In this dark duel, as the loser, it will face the fate of annihilation.

if……

If only I hadn't accepted that brat's challenge in the first place...

There was no need for this duel since the offerings had already been gathered...

It was because of my arrogance and disregard for humanity that I met this fate...

"Yusei!!! I curse you! I curse you!!!"

In his final moments, the android Soga, like a vampire exposed to the light, gradually dissipated in mid-air. With a tone of hatred, he uttered Yusei's standard villainous line: "Even if you defeat me today, don't get too cocky!!!"

“Darkne…that sir…”

"And then, an even more powerful and terrifying being will appear..."

"Hehehehehe... I will patiently wait for your arrival in hell..."

After saying this, the android Soga, like countless villains defeated by the protagonists, vanished from this world without a trace, clearly doomed...

The high temple that it had previously attached itself to fell from mid-air after being freed and crashed onto the grass next to the power tower with a thud.

Fortunately, the android Soga wasn't thrown too high, otherwise the impact of the slam into the ground would have been enough to keep Takatera in the hospital for months...

"Is it over...?"

Looking at the surroundings that had returned to peace, and the rising sun that had dispelled the darkness of night, Jaden Yuki, his face full of doubt, couldn't help but ask.

"Ah...it's over!"

Nodding to Jaden Yuki, Yusei walked toward the direction where Takaji had fallen.

At some point, two other students of Obelisk Blue, who had been kidnapped by the android Soga, also appeared beside Takaji.

The three people, piled haphazardly on top of each other, perfectly illustrate what it means to be "men on top of men"...
