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

The rounds changed again, and Yuki, having recovered a lot of stamina after this period of rest, raised her hand and drew a crucial card from her deck.

After scanning the area, he immediately revealed the card, saying, "Activate the Spell Card: 'Owner's Mark'! According to this card's effect, control of the monsters on both players' fields returns to their original owners."

"This card came at just the right time!"

Honglian had no other choice but to say, "Activate the effect of 'Red-Eyes Dragon Knight'. Discard your hand to negate and destroy this effect. After that, its attack power increases by 1000 points."

A blade of light wreathed in flames flashed past, shattering Yuki's card.

"Now, 'Red-Eyes Dragon Knight' can no longer negate other cards. The effect of 'Jet Synchron' activates! Discard 1 card from your hand; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. The card I discarded is a Trap Card: 'Scrap Statue.' If this card is sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 'Scrap' monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. Revive 'Scrap Collector'!"

"Scrap Collector, Level 5/Light/Warrior" "ATK: 1000/DEF: 2200"

A homeless man appears, carrying a crudely made hammer and a backpack full of junk.

As it appeared, the Flower Dragon in the Crimson Lotus Field roared.

"When the effect of 'Moonlight Dragon Black Rose' is activated, if a Level 5 or higher monster is successfully Special Summoned, you can also bounce 1 Special Summoned monster from your opponent's hand. Bounce 'Shining Dragon Stardust' back! [The Epic of Retreat'!]"

Honglian didn't choose "Junk Collector" because she could probably guess that since Youxi dared to revive "Junk Collector," it meant he wasn't afraid of "Moonflower Dragon" targeting him. So, she might as well choose a safer option.

Honglian's guess was correct.

"The effect of 'Scrap Collector' has activated!"

[Ban this card from the field and 1 Normal Trap Card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. This card's effect becomes the same as the Normal Trap Card banished for this effect. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.]

"I banish this card along with 'Hope for a Way Out' to copy their effects!"

Chapter 236: Salvation in Harmony! The Battle Rhythm Intensifies! (3k5)

[Hope for Survival (Common Trap): Activated when your Life Points are more than 1000 lower than your opponent's. You must pay 1000 Life Points to activate this effect. For every 2000 Life Points difference between you and your opponent, you draw 1 card from your deck.]

"Hope for a Way Out," this trap card is one of the cards that "Tune" piled into the graveyard.

Originally destined to become obsolete, it has now been put to good use, connecting Yuki with a brand new hope.

"Because it's a copy effect, it doesn't cost any resources. My life points are currently 2600, while yours are a whopping 9700, a difference of 7100. Therefore, I'm drawing 3 cards from my deck! Fallen!!"

Three new cards suddenly appeared in his previously empty hand. Youxi glanced at them and immediately slapped one of them down.

"Summon 'Giant Shield Guardian' in Attack Position! Then activate the effect of 'Stardust Synchron' in your Graveyard! Tribute 'Jet Synchron' to Special Summon this card in Defense Position. Banish the Special Summoned card by this effect."

Beside the warrior wielding a giant shield, the "Jet Synchronizer" dissipated as particles of light, which were then reconstructed into a mechanical dragon resembling the "Stardust Dragon".

"If 'Stardust Synchron' is successfully Special Summoned, add 1 Spell/Trap Card from your Deck that displays the name of 'Stardust Dragon' to your hand. I choose 'Miracle of Light' and immediately activate this Continuous Spell!"

[Miracle of Light (Continuous Spell): As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, place 1 Level 1 Dragon monster from your hand or Deck on top of your Deck.]

A card was inserted into the Spell & Trap Card slot, and from the materialized emerald green card, a bright trail was dragged out by a small pink dragon.

That was the radiance of salvation, the power of miracles.

Honglian was clearly no stranger to this glory.

In the long and distant corner of memory, something has been reawakened.

"Could it be that……"

"From this moment forward, let 'Stardust' unlock the possibility of a reversal!"

Yu Xi raised his arms and shouted, guiding the stardust's light to shine once more.

"Use the 4-star 'Stardust Synchron' to adjust the star level of the 4-star 'Giant Shield Guardian', and let's bring 'Shining Dragon Stardust' back!"

Stardust particles shot into the sky. The Star Dragon, which had once saved Yu Xi from danger but was later repelled by the "Moonlight Dragon," descended with a soft hiss, followed by a gentle pink light.

That light symbolizes the will to "save the world".

"The moment 'Stardust Dragon' is successfully Synchro Summoned, the effect of 'Miracle of Light' activates!"

This effect can only be activated when a Synchro Monster is Special Summoned. Choose one of the following effects to apply. This turn, your "Miracle of Light" effect cannot have the same effect applied.

●Draw 1 card from your deck.

●Special Summon 1 Tuner from your hand.

"I choose the first effect to apply, draw 1 card."

Yu Xi touched the top of the deck with her finger and forcefully pulled out the card. Naturally, this card was one that Yu Xi had deliberately placed on top of the deck, and its nature was common knowledge.

"When drawn into your hand, the effect of 'Focus Dragon' activates!"

[When you draw this card, you can reveal it to your opponent to activate this effect. Special Summon this card from your hand. If you control a Level 8 or higher Dragon Synchro Monster, you can Special Summon 1 Level 1 Dragon Monster from your Deck.]

"Come forth, Special Summon 'HeartGathering Dragon'!"

"Gathering Heart Dragon, Level 1/Light/Dragon/Tuner" "ATK: 0/DEF: 0"

Thanks to Izayoi Hoshi's years of experience, he had already developed his deck to its fullest potential. This allowed Yuki to unleash a multitude of possibilities and maximize the power of "Stardust Dragon" after reclaiming it.

Perhaps resonating with his own desire to save his friends, the "Heart-Gathering Dragon," which possesses the power of "saving the world," flapped its wings and materialized, flying side by side with the "Stardust Dragon" in the sky.

"Then, because 'Shining Dragon' is on the field, and due to the effect of 'Gathering Heart Dragon', I Special Summon the Level 1 Dragon-Type monster 'Stardust Dragon' from my Deck in Defense Position."

"Stardust Dragon, Level 1/Light/Dragon" "ATK: 100/DEF: 100"

With bared fangs and claws, a small dragon with an oriental design, born from stardust, flew into the battlefield.

"Then, excluding 'Stardust Irradiation' in the graveyard, target 'Shining Dragon Stardust' and raise its level by one. That will complete the collection of fragments!"

Illuminated by stardust and surrounded by the crimson lotus flames, the Feel within Youxi's body surged and burned intensely.

These Feels decreased sharply in one go, forming an invisible passage. At the other end of the passage, the Star Dragon, having gained the power to save the world, roared loudly.

"When 'Gathering Dragon' is on the field or in the Graveyard, its card name is treated as 'Savior Dragon'. A Level 1 'Gathering Dragon' can level up a Level 1 'Stardust Dragon' and a Level 9 'Stardust Dragon'!"

1★ + 2★ + 9★ = 11★!

"The ascended soul will trigger ultimate evolution, ushering in a new future with the brilliance of the stars! Savior Synchronization Summon! Light, come—"

"The 'Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon'!!"

Pink light suddenly spread from the small body of the "Heart Gathering Dragon", encompassing the "Flash Dragon" and the "Stardust Dragon".

The stars, side by side, were pierced by a beam of lightning.

The crimson flames were dispersed by lightning, and the silvery-white star dragon soared through the sky at high speed, scattering countless stardust and light points, bringing courage and hope to all who witnessed this scene.

"Shooting Star Dragon, Level 11/Wind/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 4000/DEF: 3300"

"[Savior Dragon] + 1 or more monsters other than Tuners, including a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster"

"Truly a savior in harmony!"

Honglian's face had darkened. From the moment "Gathering Heart Dragon" appeared, she had a premonition that things would turn out this way.

"Thousands of years have passed, and I never imagined that anyone could still wield such power. Even that guy is gone. But! The 'Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon' only has an attack power of 4000 points; it alone can't defeat my monsters!"

Both "Red-Eyes Dragon Knight" and "Kurikara Tendou" possess combat power comparable to "Ryuten Savior Star Dragon". Even if they obtain the power of salvation, it will not help Yuki achieve victory.

"It's hard to say."

Yu Xi, however, held a different view.

"Since it bears the name 'Savior,' it naturally possesses the power to match that title—the effect of 'Shooting Star Dragon Savior' activates! Once per turn, negate the effects of 1 monster your opponent controls. I negate the effect of 'Kurikara-doji'! [Savior's Radiance]!"

The "Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon" was surrounded by stardust light, which connected the Star Dragon with the barefoot giant sword loli, stealing all of the latter's power.

"Kurikara Tendou, ATK: 4500→1500"

"After the effect is negated, 'Sky Child's' ATK will return to normal. Then, 'Stardust Dragon' can attack up to the number of 'Stardust Dragon's' in its Graveyard plus the number of Synchro Monsters whose names are listed in its card name, in addition to its normal attack. Now I have 'Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon' and 'Stardust Dragon' in my Graveyard, so I can attack a total of 3 times. Go, 'Stardust Dragon'! Attack! [Ascended Creation Strike]!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

As the starlight shone down, the "Savior Star Dragon" transformed into a shooting star that shone brightly in the sky, directly striking the two "Crimson Lotus Demon Dragons" of the Crimson Lotus.

【Red Lotus LP: 9700→7700】

The difference in points between "Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon" and "Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon" is 1000 points. This difference is successfully deducted from Crimson Lotus's base score, and the blow from the "Savior" power causes it to scream repeatedly.

However, the first one was fine, but the second one, "True Crimson Lotus 1 Demon," could not be destroyed successfully.

The reason, then, is the golden glow that enveloped the dragon's body.

Honglian held a bright green card between her fingertips.

"In the event that a dragon monster is destroyed, the 'Gospel of Resurrection' in the graveyard will be removed as a replacement."

"Using the opportunities presented by 'Monster Resurrection' and 'Red-Eyes Dragon Knight' to dump cards into the graveyard?"

You Xi frowned and said, "The third attack: 'Flowing Sky Savior Dragon' attacks 'Red-Eyed Dragon Knight'!"

"Oh? To die together?"

Honglian looked slightly surprised, but the Star Dragon, having received the order, did not hesitate at all. After making a turn in the sky, it pounced towards Hong's father.

The "Red-Eyed Dragon Knight," who had been temporarily summoned by "Tendo" to act as a protector of the flower, coldly raised his sword upon seeing this, and the flame-wrapped blade collided heavily with the starlight that was saving the world.

"boom--!"

The shockwave from the explosion swept across the area, with starlight and flames flying by. By the time the aftershocks dissipated, nothing remained at the very center of the "great collision between heaven and earth."

—Destroyed by "Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight".

— Destroyed by "Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon".

"At the end of the Battle Phase, the effect of 'Resurrect Kuriboh' in your hand activates. Discard this card to revive 'Shooting Star Dragon,' which was destroyed in battle."

"The 'Resurrected Chestnut Ball'... So that's how it is. No wonder you let the 'Shooting Star Dragon' attack so decisively."

Looking at the starlight that had re-gathered above Yuki's head, Honglian suddenly realized.

Indeed, having such a card in hand means that mutual destruction wouldn't really be considered mutual destruction. It would simply be a highly cost-effective means of resource exchange.

Most importantly, this way, the resurrected monsters will have their status refreshed again.

"The effect of 'Savior Star Dragon' has no limit of once per turn; this time, the effect of 'Moonlight Dragon Black Rose' will be permanently nullified."

The second [Radiant Light of Salvation] fell, rendering "Moonlight Dragon Black Rose" powerless.

"Then banish the Trap Card from your Graveyard: Synchro Teleport, return 'Satellite Warrior' to your Extra Deck, draw 1 card. Set 1 card, end your turn."
