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

Four dragon wings, bearing the radiant light of a saving star, allow the evolved star dragon to stretch its body, magnificent and holy. The light is not dazzling, but rather brings peace and hope to the heart.

This is the Savior Synchronization Monster that should have appeared first, but Yuki skipped the fixed sequence.

But it came at just the right time.

"The effect of 'Miracle of Light': Draw 1 card from your Deck. Then activate the effect of 'Savior Dragon'!"

Once per turn, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and negate its effects until the End Phase. This card gains the same effect.

"Nullify the effects of 'True Crimson Nova Dragon' and gain its effects, [Sublimation Absorption]!"

Yuki shouted towards the sky, and the Star Dragon, powerful enough to protect everything, responded by extending several ribbons of light from its wings, capturing the "True Crimson Nova Dragon".

The "True Crimson Lotus Nova Dragon" roared in anger, but it was helpless as all the crimson lotus flames on its body were absorbed by the "Savior Star Dragon".

"They temporarily stole the power of the 'True Crimson Nova Dragon'."

Seeing this, Honglian raised an eyebrow: "But even so, it's not enough, Yuxi. Even if you obtain the power of the 'True Crimson Nova Dragon,' it doesn't mean the 'Savior Star Dragon' can reach the same level as the 'True Crimson Nova Dragon'!"

Indeed, just as Honglian said.

The strength of "True Crimson Nova Dragon" largely depends on the number of tuners in its own graveyard. Crimson has 9 in its graveyard, while Yuki only has 6 Star 1s, which can only raise the attack power of "Savior Star Dragon" to a maximum of 6800.

Red Lotus still has as many as 7700 LP.

Although it's a bit of a shame to lose the nullification effect of "Crimson Nova Dragon", "Savior Star Dragon" cannot threaten His safety.

"Is this the result of your gamble?" Honglian commented decisively. "It's not worth risking your life like this, Youxi."

"No, I have already received enough in return."

Youxi was not swayed by Honglian's words; in fact, he came to the opposite conclusion.

"Red Lotus, let me make my first and final prophecy. This will be the final round of this duel!"

"What did you say?"

Honglian frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why Youxi could say such a thing, but Youxi chose to let the facts speak for themselves.

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Stardust Splendor'!"

【Stardust's Brilliance (Normal Spell): Activate this skill by selecting 1 Dragon-Type Synchro Monster from your Graveyard. Until the selected monster's Level is the same as that monster's, banish all other monsters from your Graveyard, and Special Summon the selected monster from your Graveyard.】

"Excluding the 2-star 'Flower Synchron' and 'Doppelganger Warrior' and the 4-star 'Giant Shield Guardian,' take flight once more, 'Shining Stardust'!"

The stardust spreading from the graveyard brought back the "Stardust Dragon" alias, which had just become a Synchro material.

Then it was enveloped in a brand new, harmonious light.

This isn't a Savior Synchro Summon, but its reputation isn't much weaker. It's another advanced form of Synchro Summoning, comparable to Double Star Tuning.

"A 2-star Formula Synchron is using Stardust to train an 8-star Stardust!"

2 stars + 8 stars = 10 stars!

"All wishes are woven from the stardust, filling this world with bonds! Accelerate Synchronization! Light, come—'True Shining Dragon Stardust Record'!!"

Amidst the whirlwind and stardust, "Flash Dragon Stardust" swirled and flew through the sky, its speed increasing until it disappeared from sight.

Yuki, who resonated with "Flash Dragon Stardust" in perfect harmony, finally reached that high-speed realm.

The next moment, light tore through space.

A burst of golden light erupted from its entire body, and the evolved Stardust Dragon roared back onto the battlefield.

"Roar--!"

"True Shining Stardust Record, Level 10/Light/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

Special Summon a Synchro Monster + 1 or more Synchro Monsters other than Tuners

"【Salvation Synchro】 was followed by 【Accelerated Synchro】! Impossible! They actually did this in one turn!"

Honglian looked incredulous. Was this guy named Quan Youxi really human?

Does he even realize what this means?!

"In the world of duelists, nothing is impossible, my God!"

You Xi, panting heavily, said with absolute certainty.

Accelerated Synchronization is a power that, according to legend, can only be mastered after comprehending the "Mind of Still Water and Clear Mirror".

Having only been in this world for a short time, Yu Xi naturally hasn't reached that level yet. However, in this duel, he has successfully achieved Salvation Synchronization twice in a row, and both times it was closely related to "Stardust".

I've never been so close to "Stardust" before, and the process of fighting side by side was also a process of understanding.

He could sense the tenderness and affection hidden within the "Stardust Dragon," as well as its unwavering will to save the person before it, a will that was no less powerful than his own.

then--

And that's how the miracle we see today came about.

Of course, to achieve this, Yuki had almost exhausted all of her Feel energy. The last bit of it had to be used to maintain the existence of "Osiris Sky Dragon".

Even if I asked him to do it again, he definitely wouldn't be able to.

It's not that it's impossible to do, but that my body won't allow it.

"However, there's no need to do it again. Let's move on to the battle phase."

Yu Xi waved his arm, issuing an attack command forward—

"True Flash Dragon Stardust Record" attacks "Eyjafjalla Crimson Lotus Demon Burial"!

"Use monsters with lower attack power to attack?"

"This is the answer!"

As "True Flash Dragon Stardust Record" flew towards "Crimson Lotus Demon Burial" and was instantly countered and killed by the latter, golden starlight fell down.

With LP reduced by 500, Yuki shouted, "If my monster is destroyed by the opponent, the effect of 'True Shining Dragon Stardust Record' activates! I can Special Summon 1 of my banished Dragon Synchro Monsters!"

"Except for the Dragon Synchro Monsters... Do you want to bring back 'Flowing Heaven Salvation'?"

Honglian instantly understood Youxi's intention.

If this were to fall into Youxi's hands, it would indeed be a very bad situation.

"But you still made a mistake, Yuuki! You shouldn't have chosen 'Burial' as your target. At this moment, the effect of 'Crimson Lotus Demon of the Jade Dragon - Burial' activates!"

[This effect can be activated when you inflict battle damage on your opponent. Special Summon 1 Tuner of the same Level from your Deck and 1 from your Graveyard in Defense Position.]

"By using this effect to revive the 'Crimson Resonator 1' in the graveyard, I can use the 'Crimson Resonator' to replenish my health and gain two shields."

Honglian clenched her fist, and the flames in her palm scattered and danced.

"You think you can defeat me with your 'Stardust'? That's pure wishful thinking!"

"That's impossible to say."

"what?"

Honglian looked over in surprise, and what she saw in Youxi's eyes was the same unwavering gaze as always.

"If I were wrongly killed for this reason, I'd be laughed to death. So of course I have a countermeasure prepared, Crimson Lotus! Chain 'Crimson Lotus Demon Burial,' the final effect of 'Savior Star Dragon' activates!"

When your opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap/Effect Monster, you can Tribute this card to negate that activation and destroy all cards on your opponent's field.

"With this starlight, sever all darkness! [Miracle Flash]!"

Endless light, turning even the night sky into daylight, was released from the body of the "Savior Star Dragon".

Like ice and snow meeting the sun, the bodies of "True Crimson Lotus Nova Dragon" and "Yan Demon Dragon Crimson Lotus Demon Burial" rapidly disintegrated under the starlight.

The intense crimson flames that had burned fiercely since the start of the duel gradually weakened, as if foreshadowing the impending end for the crimson lotus.

"Then return from the other side of dimensions, 'Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon'!"

Clad in the Stardust Cloth, Yu Xi waved his hand forward, and the only remaining savior dragon gathered its radiance in its fists—

"Alright, give the snow back to me, gods! 'Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon' direct attack, [Ascension Creation Strike - Triple Shot]!!!"

"Aa ...

【Red Lotus LP: 7700→0】

The starlight of that moment lingered in the eyes of everyone on the island, and even decades later, they could not forget it.

Chapter 239 The Nightmare Finally Awakens

If you ask what is the most beautiful thing in the night sky, it must be the countless stars.

The most dazzling and magnificent of them all is the "Milky Way".

Countless stars converge to form a long river of light that flows only in the sky. If one could witness that scene in person, it would surely be an unforgettable spectacle.

Now, in this competition held under the name of "Stars," all the remaining participants on the island have witnessed a scene no less spectacular than that wonder.

Using the final strike of the "Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon" as a trigger, the remaining Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire spread in all directions along with countless stardust points.

Like a flower blooming in the sky, though it lacks the fragrance of flowers, its magnificence surpasses them a hundredfold.

Even the darkest night is illuminated as if it were daytime, becoming the best backdrop and audience for this "opera".

Beneath that curtain lie gods who have fallen from their zenith, and ordinary humans who have successfully slain gods.

"Impossible! How could... how could I possibly lose to a mere human?!"

Crimson Lotus clutched her chest, which had just been struck and pierced by the "Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon," in agony, uttering a sound of disbelief. She still couldn't quite accept the fact.

It took thousands of years to finally awaken from the seal and slumber, only to be beaten back down again before it could even enjoy its glory for long... How could anyone accept such a thing!

"Didn't I already say that nothing is impossible in a duel? There are no limits to human potential."

Yu Xi remained noncommittal about Hong Lian's madness; it wasn't the first time he'd witnessed something like this. It seemed that even gods weren't so different from humans.

Because they're used to being arrogant and aloof, they might not even perform as well as humans in this regard.

"Enough with the nonsense, I've won now. Please give the snow back!"

"Damn it! You damned human..."
