Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Yu Xi was not discouraged. Although the "Scrap Speedster" combo failed, his strategy did not fall apart.

For Akabane Ryo's deck, "Silent Swordsman LV7" might be a bigger headache.

"I activate the effect of 'Two-in-One' in my graveyard, banishing it from the game. Return the LIGHT 'Silence Magician' and DARK 'Kuriboh' to my deck and draw 1. Set 2 cards, and my turn ends."

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Like Akabane Ryo, Yuki placed two face-down cards in the back row and, holding onto his last hand, declared his rotation.

Akabane Ryo then drew the card that started his turn, replenishing his hand to 6 cards.

"With 'Silent Swordsman LV7' around, I can't use spell cards, and the inability to fuse is quite troublesome. But you've probably seen Yuki's fighting style with 'Cyber ​​Dragon.' It never has just one fighting style. When only your opponent controls a monster, Special Summon 'Cyber ​​Dragon' from your hand!"

The card was struck, and the silver-white mechanical dragon descended onto the battlefield using its own effects.

What appeared next was the 2-star mecha dragon that had previously been recovered by Akabane Ryo.

"Normal Summon 'Cyber ​​Dragon Core' to add 'Cyber' Spell & Trap cards from your Deck to your hand. Simultaneously activate the effect of 'Cyber ​​Dragon IV' in your hand to Special Summon it from Defense Position."

"Electronic Dragon Type IV, Level 4/Optical/Mechanical" "ATK: 1100/DEF: 1600"

The "Cyber ​​Dragon," which was much more complete than the "Cyber ​​Dragon Core," still showed signs of being rudimentary. In an instant, Akabane Ryo appeared with three monsters.

Immediately afterwards, the portal used for summoning was opened.

"Reveal, circuit of evolution! Summoning conditions: 2 Machine-Type monsters including 'Cyber ​​Dragon', and set a link marker using 'Cyber ​​Dragon Core' and 'Cyber ​​Dragon IV'. Circuit Union, L-ink2, 'Cyber ​​Dragon Triumph'!"

"Electronic Dragon Triumph, L-ink2/Optical/Mechanical/Connection" "←↓, ATK: 2100"

From the Gate of Connection, a silver-white mechanical dragon, wearing an electronically patterned halo above its head and with circuitry flowing across its body, snaked its way out.

This is the "Electronic Dragon" that has gained the power of connection and achieved a new evolution.

"fighting!"

Akabane Ryo declared loudly, "Cyber ​​Dragon attacks Silent Swordsman LV7! [Evolutionary Flame]!"

So they attacked with a low-attack monster...? It looks like that.

Yuki pressed the button: "I activate the Continuous Trap: 'Dimensional Guardian.' As long as this card is on the field, 'Silent Swordsman LV7' cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects."

"I'm also activating the effect of 'Cyber ​​Dragon Triumph'."

Akabane Ryo said, "During the battle phase when neither player has declared an attack, this card allows one of my Machine-type units with 2100 or more ATK to gain 2100 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn."

"Electronic Dragon, ATK: 2100→4200"

The number of points instantly jumped from just over 2000 to over 4000, and the blue and white flames collided with the "dimensional shield" that had been opened.

The shield and the "Silent Swordsman LV7" within remained unmoved, but...

Even if the monster isn't defeated in battle, the damage still has to be taken.

[Yu Xi's LP: 3800 → 2300]

Another 1500 base points were deducted from Yuki's LP. Not long after the duel began, his LP was reduced to about a quarter of what it was at the beginning.

Despite losing a significant amount of LP, Yuki managed to retain "Silent Swordsman LV7," and the ban zone for all spell cards remained effective.

"Next, attack 'Scrap Speedster' with 'Electronic Dragon Triumph', [Triumph Evolution Beam]!"

A burst of lightning instantly obliterated the Level 5 Synchro Monster in Defense Position. And just as "Scrap Speedster" was engulfed by the flames, Yuuki activated her second face-down card.

"Trap Card activated: 'Soul's Bane'! When a monster you control is destroyed, pay 1000 Life Points to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your Deck. Come forth, 'Magnet Warrior Epic'!"

"Magnet Warrior ε, Level 4/Earth/Warrior" "ATK: 1300/DEF: 1500"

Emerging from the purple card is a monster that appears more like steel than rock. Its round, fingerless palm bears magnet symbols of "N" and "S".

"If a Summon or Special Summon is successfully performed, the effect of 'Magnet Warrior ε' will activate!"

[You can activate this effect by sending 1 Level 4 or lower "Magnet Warrior" monster (excluding "Magnet Warrior ε") from your Deck to the Graveyard. This card is treated as a card with the same name as the monster sent to the Graveyard until the End Phase. After that, you can Special Summon 1 "Magnet Warrior" monster with the same name that is not on your field from your Graveyard.]

"I'm sending 'Magnet Warrior Gamma' to the grave, and now I'm Special Summoning 'Electromagnetic Stone Warrior Beta'!"

"Electromagnetic Stone Warrior β, Level 3/Ground/Rock" "ATK: 1500/DEF: 1500"

The earth split open, and amidst flying debris, a rock warrior emerged, its limbs wrapped in rings of golden electricity. It wore horns with a pair of U-shaped magnets on its head, looking very similar to "Magnet Warrior β." In fact, it was indeed a clone of the same creature.

"If 'Magnet Warrior β' is successfully Special Summoned, add 1 Level 4 or lower 'Magnet Warrior' monster from my Deck to my hand. During your opponent's turn, you can Tribute yourself to Special Summon a Level 4 'Magnet Warrior' from your Deck. I'm Special Summoning 'Magnet Warrior δ'."

"Magnet Warrior Delta, Level 4/Ground/Rock" "ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400"

The third Magnet Monster materialized in the original location of the "Electromagnet Warrior," its strange body formed by the combination of magnets and prisms.

"If 'Magnet Warrior Delta' is Special Summoned, this effect also activates: Send 1 Level 4 or lower 'Magnet Warrior' monster from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"Besides 'Synchronizer,' did you also include 'Magnet Warrior' in this deck?"

Akabane Ryo really wanted to continue the attack, but unfortunately, his hand no longer allowed him to do so.

"I set four cards face-down in my back row. End of turn."

"4 caps?"

Seeing Akabane Ryo stuff all the cards into the back slot, Yuki's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and thought of a certain possibility.

"Senior, there should be some magic cards in here to confuse people, right?"

"Who knows?" Akabane Ryo's answer was ambiguous. "Alright, it's your turn, Yuuki. You'll know once you attack."

"Looks like this is the only way. My turn!"

After drawing cards from the deck, Yuki didn't rush to use her hand. Instead, she put the two monster cards on the field together.

"Main Phase 1: First, construct a light network using two 4-star 'Magnet Warriors,' then Xyz Summon 'Rank 4!' 'Kagemusha'!"

"Mikage Shishi, Rank 4 / Ground / Rock / Xyz" "ATK: 2300 / DEF: 1800"

A gray stone statue in the shape of a Japanese samurai leaps out of a nebula vortex, holding two katana horizontally across its chest.

"The effect of 'Mikage Shishi' activates! Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material and add 1 Rock-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. I choose 'Electromagnetic Stone Warrior γ' and Summon it in Attack Position. Then, if this monster is successfully Summoned, Special Summon 'Electromagnetic Stone Warrior α' from my hand."

"Electromagnetic Stone Warrior γ, Level 3/Ground/Rock" "ATK: 800/DEF: 2000"

"Electromagnetic Stone Warrior α, Level 3/Ground/Rock" "ATL: 1700/DEF: 1100"

A magnetic monster, wrapped in golden electric rings and clad in green heavy armor, emerged from the card, followed closely by another of its kind wearing a U-shaped magnetic mask.

"If 'Electromagnetic Warrior Alpha' is successfully Special Summoned, add any Level 8 'Magnetic Warrior' monster from your Deck to your hand. Then, use two Level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon Rank 3 'Void Sea Dragon Leviathan'!"

"Void Sea Dragon Leviel, Tier 3/Wind/Water/Xyz" "ATK: 1800/DEF: 1600"

The second surge of energy produced alien creatures that lived in the Void Sea.

“1回合1次，「虚空海龙」的效果发动！取除1个超量素材，除外的1只4星以下的怪兽在我的场上特殊召唤。我将我的「超电磁龟」守备表示特召回来。”

"The 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle,' and not the 'Witch of the Black Forest' or the 'Jet Synchronizer'?"

Akabane Ryo noticed something was wrong.

The effect of "Super Electromagnetic Turtle" can only be used once in a duel, and since it has already been used up, there is no point in calling it back now.

That is to say-

"The goal is its attribute. Using the light-attribute 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' and 'Void Sea Dragon' circuits, I'll link and summon! L-ink2, 'Radiant Light Spirit Master Lena'!"

"Lena, the Radiant Spirit Master, L-ink2/Light/Mage/Connection" "↙↘, ATK: 1850"

A short-haired girl who controls the element of light descends from the portal, wielding a staff.

"The effect of 'Radiant Light Spirit' activates: Once per turn, Special Summon 1 LIGHT monster from your opponent's Graveyard to its Link Point. I choose 'Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite' from your Graveyard, Senior!"

If you obtain "Infinite" here, you can use "Infinite" to absorb materials to defeat "Cyber ​​Dragon Triumph" and also get a Tricolor Conquest.

Unfortunately, this good thing did not happen.

"Then activate the Trap Card: 'Xyz Resurrection'!"

Akabane Ryo waved his hand and flipped up the card: "Resurrect 1 Xyz Monster from the Graveyard using this card's effect. Come forth, 'Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite'!"

Ahead of Youxi, the ferocious mecha dragon returned from the abyss of death.

It didn't betray Yu Xi, but was resurrected beside its original master, accompanied by stars surrounding it.

"After that, when 'Xyz Regeneration' is stacked as Xyz Material under 'Infinity', its attack power increases by 200 points."

The 200 attack power increase is negligible; the real problem is the extra material.

This means that Yuki will once again face the suppression and interference of "Infinity". Moreover, with "Triumphant" present, it cannot be easily resolved through combat.

Fortunately, through the previous developments, Youxi had already prepared a solution.

"Because 'Void Sea Dragon' went to the Graveyard, all three 'Electromagnetic Stone Warriors' are now in the Graveyard. I will banish these monsters from the game and Special Summon 'Electromagnetic Stone Warrior Electromagnetic Berserker' from my hand!"

"Electromagnetic Stone Warrior, Electromagnetic Berserker, Level 8/Ground/Rock" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2800"

The crackling magnetic components flew out one by one from Yuki's grave, gathered together in the sky, and transformed into a mighty electromagnetic warrior.

The electric coil emitted wisps of golden arc light, and the coiled sword in his hand was clearly not a toy.

"The effect of 'Electromagnetic Frenzy' is activated! Banish 1 Level 4 or lower 'Magnet Warrior' monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 card your opponent controls and destroy that card. [Electromagnetic Sword]!"

A sword beam imbued with the power of lightning slashed down, and such a provocative act naturally provoked strong resistance from the target.

"Activate the effect of 'Infinity,' remove Xyz Materials, negate and destroy this effect. [Infinity Ascendancy]!"

An even more powerful laser beam engulfed the sword light. Less than three minutes after the "Electromagnetic Mad God" appeared, it was destroyed into a pile of fragments by "Infinity".
