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

"Excluding 'Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon,' negating and eliminating 'Moonflower Dragon Black Rose,' [Miracle Star]!"

"They actually took advantage of my monster's guaranteed effect?"

Honglian looked surprised as she watched the restless "Moonlight Dragon" being carried away by the starlight showered by the "Flowing Heaven Savior Star Dragon".

"Not only did you avoid the fate of 'Sky Savior Star Dragon' being destroyed, but you also left a shield on your field to resist 'True Crimson Nova Dragon'... Hehehe, not bad at all, Izumi Yuuki. It's perfect that my first opponent after returning to this world is someone like you!"

Honglian smiled with satisfaction.

The more satisfied He was, the stronger His desire to destroy and defeat Yu Xi became.

As the highest among the earthbound gods, Crimson Nova is by no means a righteous god. He represents concepts such as "power," "destruction," "natural disaster," and "tyranny," and is the most warlike god in ancient times.

Yu Xi's performance so far is outstanding, even if placed in the distant past of the War of Gods. This dazzling duelist spirit excites Him greatly and stimulates His appetite, which has been hungry for thousands of years.

"But! My methods don't stop there—I'll also activate the effect of 'Synchronization Teleport'!"

The cards that popped out of the Crimson Graveyard were the same cards as Yuki's trap.

"Ban this card, return the Synchro Monster 'Crimson Dragon' to the Deck, then draw 1 card. Then activate the Spell Card: 'Monster Resurrection,' revive 'Crimson Dragon Burial'!"

A verdant cross rises behind the red lotus, casting down the holy light of resurrection.

The karmic fire of the red lotus swept and rose like a tornado, eventually transforming into a ferocious demonic dragon.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xi's heart sank; she already understood what Hong Lian was trying to do: "...The effect of 'Miracle of Light' activates again. Draw 1 card from your deck."

"Send the top card of your deck to the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Growing Bulb' from the Graveyard. Then activate the effect of 'Burial' to Tribute 'Growing Bulb' and revive 'Crimson Dragon Abyss'."

Crimson flames burned, coalescing into a third entity—a demonic dragon. Crimson Lotus spoke menacingly, "You only have one 'Quick-Play Synchron' monster in your front row. Can you block them all?"

The declaration suddenly entered the battle phase, with the dragons roaring in succession, and crimson flames that could burn even the soul spread across the sky.

"First comes the attack from 'Crimson Lotus Demon - Abyss,' [Crimson Impact]!"

— Destroyed by "Speed ​​Synchronizer".

Without any suspense, the cowboy was instantly vaporized by the Red Lotus Inferno. Then, a second Red Lotus descended.

"Attack of 'Crimson Lotus Demon of the Jade Dragon - Burial,' [Purgatory Nova]!"

"When you launch an attack, the effect of 'Messenger of the Phantom Wax Mansion' in your hand activates!"

In the nick of time, Yuki calmly slapped down his only remaining card and declared, "Special Summon this card from my hand."

"Messenger of the Illusionary Wax Pavilion, Level 3/Fire/Fantasy Demon" "ATK: 800/DEF: 1800"

A pale blue flame burned silently on the candle head, and a white candle monster dressed in a noble robe emerged from the card.

"When the 'Messengers of the Phantom Wax Mansion' engage in battle, neither side's monsters will be destroyed by the battle."

"A fantasy demon monster? Seeing is believing, I never imagined such a race of monsters still existed in this world. But it can't stop me! 'Crimson Demon - Abyss' effect activated!"

With a slightly curious look, Guren immediately activated her monster power.

"Nullify the effects of 'Illusionary Wax House' until the end of the turn."

The crimson flames clung to and coiled around the "Messenger of the Illusionary Wax Pavilion," extinguishing the ghostly blue flames on its head. Then, the roaring dragon breath from "Burial" melted the entire candle away.

—The messenger of the Phantom Wax Pavilion destroys [something].

"So your last shield has vanished. Feel honored, for I, in my true form, will send you on your way! 'Crimson Nova Dragon' direct attack, [Burning Soul]!!"

With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, the "True Crimson Lotus Nova Dragon" folded its wings and charged straight at Yuki.

The immense terror brought by 8000 points of attack power is enough to freeze a person's body and soul, leaving them helpless to watch as the hellish flames consume their body.

—But Yu Xi was not among those people.

He waved his hand forcefully.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for! Ambush card activated!"

The covered card was uncovered, and familiar stardust light fell, blocking the oncoming Crimson Nova.

"This is!?"

For Honglian, this scene was very familiar; in fact, she had just witnessed it not long ago.

Trap Card: "Resist Resurrection!"

[Resist Resurrection (Normal Trap): Can only be activated when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack. End Battle Phase. After that, you can Special Summon 1 Tuner Monster and 1 Synchro Monster from your Graveyard. The effects of monsters Special Summoned by this effect are negated.]

"Based on this card's effect, negate the attack of 'Crimson Nova Dragon'. Then revive, 'Stardust Dragon' and 'Formula Synchron'!"

With a soft whistle, the car sped into the arena, gathering stardust that once again shone brightly under the night sky.

Chapter 238 Salvation and Acceleration! The Ultimate Showdown of Synchronization! (4k!)

The final trap card intercepted the fiery blast of "True Crimson Nova Dragon," and stardust shimmered in the night sky.

This scene seems familiar.

Last time, it was Yu Xi who activated "Shining Light Standing on the Land of Falling Stars" to revive "Shining Light Dragon Stardust". This time, it is the original "Stardust Dragon" and the Trisolaran "Crimson Lotus Demon" confronting each other.

The Stardust Dragon spread its wings, scattering starlight to shelter Yuki under its wings.

Its soft hissing seemed to say, "As long as it's here, don't even think about harming You Xi."

"'Resistance to Resurrection'... I see, the 'Messenger of the Illusionary Wax Mansion' was just a smokescreen."

To be honest, Honglian's mood wasn't good when her sure-fire attack was blocked like that, but she immediately understood Youxi's intention.

"Exactly."

Yu Xi replied, "Although I can block the attack and counterattack using 'Phantom Wax Pavilion,' I'm afraid I can't win that way. So I'm going to take a gamble, betting on the possibilities offered by 'Resist Resurrection.'"

The final effect of "Messenger of the Phantom Wax Mansion" can negate the effects of all of the opponent's monsters at the end of the Battle Phase, which is very powerful. However, Yuki knew that Guren was not an opponent that could be dealt with by conventional means. Doing so could only achieve "suppression" at most, but not "victory" - Yuki had not forgotten that Guren had previously used "Growing Bulb" to add another card to the graveyard.

That card might be the trump card used to deal with "Shooting Star Dragon," such as a "breakthrough skill."

Therefore, he had to take a risk.

Yu Xi decided to place this bet and hope on "Stardust Dragon"!

"Hehe, wanna take a gamble? This is interesting."

Upon hearing this, Honglian's lips curled up slightly. Her long, snow-white hair, blown by the night wind, turned crimson in the reflection of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. Her majestic golden eyes met Youxi's dark blue pupils.

"I don't think such a monster is worth risking everything for, but since you want to gamble, I'll play along. Let's see whether your 'Stardust' or my 'Crimson Nova' will have the last laugh!"

"I can't ask for it!"

"End of round."

"At the end of your turn, 'Sky Savior Dragon' returns to the field because it was previously excluded."

After playing her last card, "True Crimson Nova Dragon," Crimson had nothing more to do and immediately declared the end of her turn.

At the same time, the Starlight opened a portal to another dimension, and the Star Dragon, the savior, flew back from the portal and hovered beside the Stardust Dragon.

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"

Shouting loudly, Yu Xi reached into his deck and drew a card. Before he could even check the card's contents, Hong Lian said, "The effect of 'Crimson Lotus Demon Abyss' activates, negating the effect of 'Flowing Heaven Savior Star Dragon'."

"Chain activation of the 'Savior Star Dragon' effect, excluding itself, negating and banishing this effect, [Miracle Star]!"

The starlight that saved the world rebounded, shattering and destroying the surging crimson flames, and finally enveloping "Crimson Lotus Demon Abyss," taking it away from the battlefield along with itself.

Despite losing one Crimson Lotus member, she showed no regret, saying, "Now you can't use 'Flowing Heaven Savior Star Dragon' against 'True Crimson Lotus Nova Dragon.' What are you going to do next, human? Synchromate 'Formula Synchron' and 'Stardust Dragon' to create another 'Satellite Warrior'? I must declare beforehand that 'True Crimson Lotus Nova Dragon' cannot be destroyed by your effects. 'Satellite Warrior' is useless against it."

"I know."

You Xi had already looked at his hand and said in a deep voice, "But no one ever said that there is only one power to save the world."

"what?"

"Attack indicates the summoning of 'Stardust Wyvern'!"

"Stardust Wyvern, Level 1/Light/Dragon" "ATK: 0/DEF: 0"

The drawn card was gently tapped, and a graceful silver-white dragon appeared from it. An oval, ethereal purple gem was inlaid on its soft, white belly, reflecting gentle starlight.

"Stardust Drake's effect activated!"

[You can Tribute this card to activate this effect. Special Summon up to 2 Level 1 Dragon-Type LIGHT monsters from your hand or Graveyard, except "Stardust Wyvern". Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot activate their effects.]

"Release 'Stardust Wyvern' to Special Summon 'Focus Dragon' and 'Stardust Baby Dragon' from your Graveyard!"

"Stardust Dragon" let out a soft cry, radiating light from the deep purple gem. Within the light, a pink dragon and an oriental-looking dragon reappeared, taking its place.

"They've brought 'Heart-Gathering Dragon' back again?"

Honglian guessed something: "You wouldn't be planning to..."

"A 1-star 'Gathering Heart Dragon' is used to adjust the star level of a 1-star 'Stardust Dragon' and 'Stardust Dragon'!"

1 star! +1 star! +8 stars! =10 stars!

It's not 11 stars, it's 10 stars.

Although the star rating has decreased, it does not mean that its brilliance has diminished in the slightest.

The three dragon beasts flew side by side, transforming into a savior-in-sync posture with a total of 10 stars.

This battle could be described as a fight to save the world, but for Yuki, the significance of this duel lies more in saving his most important companions.

But what does that matter?

"Salvation" knows no bounds; as long as it is for changing a painful and hopeless future and fighting against fate, no matter how many times, this brilliance will not hesitate to give its strength.

"The gathered starlight will illuminate new miracles, becoming a radiant path! Synchro Summon! Descend—"

"The Savior Star Dragon!!"

"Savior Dragon, Level 10/Wind/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3800/DEF: 3000"

"[Gathering Dragon] + [Stardust Dragon] + 1 non-Tuner monster"
