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

Looking down from above, you can see a small maze with a radius of about 20 meters unfolding around the three people, completely filling the mountain path.

"As long as this card is on the field, monsters whose original Level is not 5 or higher cannot attack during the third Summon turn. I then Summon 'Dark Chariot of the Labyrinth' from my hand!"

"The Labyrinth's Heavy Magic Chariot, Level 7/Dark/Mechanical" "ATK: 2700/DEF: 2400"

The sound of mechanical tracks crushing the earth could be heard as a huge war chariot emerged from the depths of the maze.

That chariot was clearly an absolute killing machine; its crimson spiral drill spun at high speed, seemingly capable of destroying anything in its path.

"The 'Heavy Demon Chariot of the Labyrinth' can be summoned without being released, but it cannot attack during the summoned turn. However, since the first attacker in a melee cannot attack anyway, it doesn't matter."

Sakamoto Taiichi waved his hand and shouted, "I'm going to activate the final effect of 'The Labyrinth's Heavy Demon Chariot'! Once per turn, place 1 of the following cards as a Continuous Spell Card in my back row: 'Thunder Demon God Sanga', 'Wind Demon God Shuga', or 'Water Demon God Saga', which are currently in my hand, deck, or banished."

"Then comes the effect of 'Shadow of the Labyrinth Wall,' which similarly places one of the three Prime Evils face-up as a Continuous Spell in the back row!"

As soon as Sakamoto Taiichi finished speaking, a gust of wind and a wave descended upon his backstage area.

Emerald green and azure blue, two rock pillars of different colors slowly rise from the ground, inscribed with the words "wind" and "water," representing the "Wind Demon" and "Water Demon" who have been eternally magicalized.

Then, the two pillars shattered into pieces, and the demonic power surging from them merged into one amidst Sakamoto Taiichi's roar.

"Excluding the 'Wind Demon God - Shuga' and 'Water Demon God - Siga' existing in the back row, gather the power of the wind and water demon gods and awaken them from their ancient slumber! Fusion Summon! Come forth, 'Wind and Water Demon Gods - Guardians of the Gate'!!"

"Feng Shui Demon God - Guardian of the Gate, Level 9/Wind/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 2450/DEF: 2300"

"【Wind Demon God - Shuga】+【Water Demon God - Siga】"

"You can only Special Summon this card if you banish the aforementioned cards from your field."

The upper body is composed of "Wind Demon God" and the lower body is "Water Demon God". The two monsters merge into one as the name suggests, and when they merge, the surging wind blows towards Yuki.

...The Wind Demon God and the Water Demon God each possessed an attack power exceeding 2400, and their combined attack power did not show a significant increase. However, they gained other special abilities.

[You can activate this effect when your opponent has a Spell/Trap Card effect activated. Negate that effect.]

This effect can be used a maximum of 2 times per turn, maximizing the limitation on Yuuki's ability to use Spell & Trap spells. It's not a good thing for Yuuki.

"It's not over yet!"

Sakamoto Taiichi's performance doesn't seem to be ending there yet.

"I activate the Spell Card: 'Seven-Star Sword'! Banish 'Dark Chariot of the Labyrinth' from the field, and draw 2 cards from my Deck. Quick-Play Spell: 'Hand-Breaking Kill' activated! Each player discards 2 cards from their hand, and draws 2 cards from their Deck."

In the chaotic battle rules, cards targeting "opponents" can only apply their effects to one side, while in the case of "both sides," the effects can affect all opponents.

Yuki picked out two cards from his hand and sent them to the graveyard, and the Sakamoto brothers did the same.

After the cards were exchanged, before Sakamoto Taiichi could speak again, his younger brother said first, "I'm going to activate the effect of the spell card: 'Disruption Magic'."

"If this card is sent from my hand or field to the Graveyard, add the monsters 'Disruption Black,' 'Disruption Green,' and 'Disruption Yellow' from my Deck to my hand. Since I have sent a total of 2 'Disruption Spells' to the Graveyard, I have added two sets of the Disruption Trio to my hand."

In one fell swoop, Sakamoto Taiji's hand suddenly increased to 11 cards.

Even knowing that six of them were useless low-star mortal bones, the number was still terrifying.

Immediately after, Sakamoto Taiichi continued, "I'll use the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Return from Another Dimension' to return the banished 'Wind Demon - Shuga,' 'Water Demon - Saga,' and 'Dungeon Chariot' to the Graveyard. Then I'll banish those two monsters, along with 'Thunder Demon - Sanga' from the Graveyard!"

"Gather the power of the Trisolaran Demon God and awaken from the ancient slumber! Fusion Summon! 'Combined Demon God - Guardian of the Gate'!!"

"Fusion Demon God - Guardian of the Gate, Level 12/Dark/Warrior/Fusion" "ATK: 3750/DEF: 3400"

"[Thunder Demon God - Sanga] + [Wind Demon God - Shuga] + [Water Demon God - Siga]"

"You can only Special Summon this card by banishing the aforementioned cards from your hand, field, or graveyard."

In addition to wind and water, the power of thunder has now been added.

The Trisolarans merged into one in the order of top, middle, and bottom, and crashed down behind Sakamoto Taiichi, casting a huge shadow that completely enveloped Yuki.

"As long as this card is on the field, up to 3 times per turn, you can negate and destroy the effects of cards your opponent controls. That way, even if you just dumped your 'Breakthrough Skill' into the Graveyard, it won't matter."

Sakamoto Taiichi then placed one of his cards into the Duel Disk, saying, "Set one card, end my turn!"

"After Tai Yi's turn, it's my turn to draw a card."

Upon hearing the declaration of defeat, Taiji Sakamoto immediately drew a card from his deck and played it, saying, "I activate the Spell Card from my hand: 'Disruptor Modification'!"

[You can reveal 1 Machine-Type LIGHT Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent, and banish any number of "Disruption" monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard; Special Summon Fusion Material Monsters equal to the number of banished monsters from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard (maximum 1 of each of the banished monsters).]

As the name suggests, it is a magic card specifically for "Disruption," and the "Disruption" cards needed to pay the cost have already been collected by Taiji Sakamoto.

"I'm showing you 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon' from my Extra Deck. This monster requires 'X-Boss Cannon,' 'Y-Dragon Head,' and 'Z-Metal Tracks' as Fusion Materials, so I banished all three Disruptors and Special Summoned them from my Deck."

The dimensional portal for summoning was opened by the mortal bone, and the mechanical life form in the three-body alloy armor floated out from the round hole.

Then, in the next moment, they transformed and assembled together.

"Put away the monsters X, Y, and Z from the field and combine them to summon—'XYZ-Dragon Cannon'!"

Chapter 178 So strong, too strong! I activate my magic card—

In robot-themed anime series, there's a certain scene that remains a timeless classic.

That is, to allow various robots to transform and combine into a completely new, powerful, and cool individual. This is especially prominent in supersonic tokusatsu dramas.

And now, a similar scene is unfolding before Youxi.

Based on pterosaurs and crabs, the "Y-Dragon Head" and "Z-Metal Tracks" began to deform at Taiji Sakamoto's shout, shrinking unnecessary components and opening hidden interfaces. Through electromagnetic attraction, they merged from top to bottom with the final "X-Leader Cannon," with the cannon barrel extending, transforming in a stylish way into a giant tank that looked like it stepped out of a science fiction movie.

"XYZ-Dragon Cannon, Level 8/Light/Mechanical/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2600"

"【X-Chief Cannon】+【Y-Dragon Head】+【Z-Metal Tracks】"

"You can Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck by banishing the cards you control (no Fusion required)."

As expected of brothers, Sakamoto Taiji used the same fusion method as Sakamoto Taiichi. Although the summoned monsters were different, Yuki knew that they possessed even greater potential than the "Guardian of the Gate".

"Then, the attack summons 'V-Jet Tiger' and activates the Quick Attack Spell: 'Unauthorized Resurrection'."

As expected, Sakamoto Taiji immediately attempted a new combination summoning.

He said, "Target my Machine-Type monster 'V-Jet Tiger' on the field, equip it with the Machine-Type Union Monster 'W-Catapult Wing' from my Deck. Then banish 'V-Jet Tiger' and 'W-Catapult Wing' to perform a Fusion Summon! 'VW-Strike Tiger'!"

"VW-Strike Tiger, Level 6/Light/Mechanical/Fusion" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 2100"

"【V-Jet Tiger】+【W-Ejector Wing】"

The golden mechanical tiger flew into the battlefield aboard a blue jet, and the next moment it transformed and merged with the "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", transforming into an even taller and more powerful giant robot.

"Then banish the two Fusion Monsters on the field and fuse them to summon 'VWXYZ-Dragon Cannon'!"

"VWXYZ-Dragon Power Cannon, Level 8/Light/Mechanical/Fusion" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2800"

"[XYZ-Dragon Cannon] + [VW-Strike Tiger]"

"You can Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck by banishing the cards you control (no Fusion required)."

After three consecutive combined summons, the giant combined robot, which usually requires several rounds of planning to appear, suddenly descended behind Sakamoto Taiji, looking down at the tiny Yuki.

Of course, while it looks impressive, in terms of card resource utilization, summoning this monster, Sakamoto Taiji, resulted in a significant loss of cards. It was a deal that was incredibly unprofitable.

But Sakamoto Taiji's turn is clearly not over yet.

"Activate the second effect of 'Disruptor Modification' in the graveyard."

Taiji Sakamoto said, "Ban this card, return the 3 banished 'Disruption' monsters to your Deck, shuffle and draw 1, and activate the Spell Card: 'Disruption Hybrid'!"

[Disruption Mixed Match (Quick-Play Spell): You can activate this effect by sending 1 "Disruption" card from your hand and face-up cards on your field to the Graveyard. Add 1 "Disruption" monster and 1 "Armed Dragon" monster (with different names from that card) from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. Then, you can Summon 1 monster from your hand that was added by this effect.]

"Discard 'Disruptor Yellow', add 'Disruptor Yellow' and 'Armed Dragon Thunder LV5' from your deck to your hand, and Tribute 'VWXYZ-Dragon Cannon' on the field to Summon 'Armed Dragon Thunder LV5' in Attack Position."

"Armed Dragon - Lightning LV5, Level 5/Wind/Dragon" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1700"

Without a second thought, the combined Gundam that had been summoned with great difficulty was used as a sacrifice. Golden lightning bolts struck down, transforming it into a crimson dragon beast with a lightning bolt mark on its chest and abdomen, and covered in steel scales.

The next moment, the crimson dragon beast seemed to leap through time, and began to grow rapidly.

"The effect of 'Armed Dragon - Lightning LV5' is activated! Send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard, send this monster on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower 'Armed Dragon' monster from your hand or Deck. Come forth, 'Armed Dragon - Lightning LV7'!"

"Armed Dragon - Lightning LV7, Level 7/Wind/Dragon" "ATK: 2800/DFE: 1000"

If we divide monster levels into stages such as juvenile, adult, and ultimate, then without a doubt, "Armed Dragon - Thunder LV7" is the ultimate form of the "Armed Dragon" lineage.

But Sakamoto Taiji was not satisfied with this, and instead called on it to immediately evolve towards the ultimate form.

"Activate the effect of 'Armed Dragon - Thunder LV7', discard 'Disruptor Black' from your hand and send it to the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Armed Dragon - Thunder LV10' from your Deck in Attack Position!!"

"Armed Dragon - Lightning LV10, Level 10/Wind/Dragon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2000"

A massive bolt of lightning, seemingly capable of burning away a retinas, crashed down, extending and transforming into bat-dragon wings several meters wide. At the end of its long tail was a meteor hammer brimming with immense electrical energy.

The dragon's power has been fully unleashed, radiating an imposing aura, and the lightning coiled around its palms seems capable of destroying everything.

"The 'Armed Dragon - Lightning LV10' will gain different effects depending on its attack power."

Taiji Sakamoto stated, "When the ATK is 1 or higher, the card name is treated as 'Armed Dragon LV10'. At 10 or higher: control cannot be changed; at 100 or higher: it cannot be destroyed by battle; at 1000 or higher: once per turn for your opponent, you can discard 1 card from your hand, destroy 1 card on the field, and gain 1000 ATK."

When the attack power is above 10000, it can also destroy all cards on the opponent's field. However, the current "Armed Dragon - Lightning LV10" only has 3000 attack power, which is far from that standard, so Taiji Sakamoto did not mention it.

But the current parts are sufficient, and the real focus is not here.

The key point is that he finally fulfilled the summoning conditions for that card.
