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

The white-haired, red-eyed girl clearly understood this as well, and her hand movements resumed smoothly after an initial pause.

"...Special Summon 'Synchro Resonator' and 'Shield Resonator'. 'Rebrand' sends 'Crimson Rising Dragon' back to the Extra Deck and draws 1. Then activates the effect of 'Crimson Demon Abyss' to negate the effect of 'Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon'. The Level 1 'Shield Resonator' levels up against 'Crimson Demon Abyss', causing Mount Tai to rumble and tear apart the mountain, revealing its form alongside the earth's flames! Synchro Summon! 'Crimson Demon Burial Dragon'!"

"Crimson Lotus Demon of the Jade Dragon, Level 10/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3500/DEF: 3000"

Having gained the power of resonance, "Crimson Lotus Demon Abyss" has further evolved and become even more majestic and enormous, with its dark red wings spreading out to blot out the sky and the earth.

"Activate the effect of 'Crimson Demon Burial', Tribute 'Synchro Resonator', and Special Summon 'Crimson Demon' from your Graveyard."

At Izayoi Yuki's command, "Crimson Demon Burial" crushed the "Resonator" and used its soul and flesh to build a bridge to hell.

The "True Crimson Lotus Demon" roared as it flew back from the depths of hell along the bridge.

Izayoi Yuki's operations are still ongoing.

This time, the monster she summoned was no longer from the "Crimson Demon" series.

Instead, they came from real cards.

"The effect of 'Synchronous Clone Resonator' recycles 'Shield Resonator'. Then, the 2-star 'Horizon Resonator' is Synchro Summoned to the 8-star 'Crimson Lotus Demon'. Oh God!! Destiny!! The truth of all things!! This union surrounding the Heavenly Wheel, descend with the light! Synchro Summon, 'Celestial Tyrant Dragon Soars'!"

"Sky Dragon Soars, Level 10/Light/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: ?/DEF: 3000"

The "Vision Resonator" struck a tuning fork, and in the clear sound, it transformed into two star rings that passed through the body of the "True Crimson Lotus Demon," from which eight blazing white stars were extracted.

Lightning pierced through, and a wondrous white dragon was born from it.

There was a reason why Izayoi Yuki would specifically summon this monster.

“When ‘Crimson Dragon’ is sent from the field to the Graveyard, Special Summon ‘Crimson Dragon’ from your Deck. ‘Vision Resonator’ searches for ‘Crimson Prison Defense’. Finally, there’s the effect of ‘Sky Tyrant Dragon Soars’.” She gestured to her hand, now saturated with cards after several rounds of recycling and searching. “When this card is Synchro Summoned, its ATK increases by 800 for each card in my hand. Now I have 7 cards in my hand, so its ATK becomes 5600.”

"Sky Dragon Soars, ATK: ? → 5600"

"They actually didn't rely on 'True Crimson Nova Dragon' and instead brought out a monster with attack power exceeding 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!?"

A hint of surprise uncontrollably appeared on Haiba Zhenbai's small face.

She had thought she could use "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to completely seal Izayoi Yuki in one card, but now it seems she was too naive.

but……

"Hmph, I'm not without a backup plan. Activate the effect of 'Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass'!"

[You can activate this effect by banishing this card from the field during your opponent's Main Phase and Battle Phase. Special Summon 1 Tuner monster from your Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon.]

"Except for 'Crystal Machine - Inherited Fiber,' Special Summon 'Wave Dragon Voice Dragon' in Defense Position!"

"Wave Dragon Sound Dragon, Level 4/Dark/Dragon/Tuner" "ATK: 1900/DEF: 800"

The water machine stomped its feet on the ground and leaped high into the air, only to be swallowed by the white light of the Synchro Dragon mid-air. The Synchro Dragon, its body glowing with multicolored light and constantly roaring, sending sound waves in all directions, flew out from the white light.

"The Wave Dragon's Voice Dragon?"

Izayoi Yuki, who revived "Druid Scale Worm" using the "Re-brand" effect, frowned slightly: What is the purpose of summoning this monster at this time?

Kaiba Mashiro is also going to accelerate Synchro? But "Wave Dragon Sound Dragon" doesn't have the ability to Synchro at second speed.

The question about Izayoi Yuki was quickly answered.

"Then comes the Quick-Play Spell: 'Contraction'! Halve the original ATK of 1 monster on the field. I chose 'Wave Dragon Voice Dragon' to make its ATK 950. This fulfills the activation conditions for this card."

The face-down card under Kaiba Mashiro's feet stood up, first a bright green magic card, which used its magic to shrink the body of "Wave Dragon Voice Dragon", and then an extremely terrifying trap card was activated.

"—Trap Card: 'Deck Destruction Virus' activated!"

【Death Deck Destruction Virus (Normal Trap): Tribute one DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK. When activated, destroy all monsters with 1500 or more ATK that your opponent controls, controls, or draws within 3 turns after activation.】

Unlike the version used by the ancestors, due to the progress of the times, more and more monsters can exert their power in the graveyard. Kaiba Mashiro uses the revamped "Death Deck Virus".

However, it must be said that this version is, in some ways, more powerful and vicious.

"Release 'Wave Dragon Sound Dragon,' infect all your monsters with the virus and cause chaos! Hmph, all you can rely on is 'Sky Tyrant Dragon,' and that's it!"

"Quick attack magic: "Notes to kill"! "

With a cry of "Wave Dragon Sound Dragon," the power of the Trap Card shattered, transforming into a pure source of virus that spread towards Izayoi Yuki.

The "Crimson Demons," the "Sky Dragon," and even Izayoi Yuki's hand of cards have all been infected by the virus and are on the verge of destruction.

The sound of Izayoi Yuki urgently activating the card's effect rang out.

A bright green card appeared in front of him.

"Based on this card's effect, both players send 2 cards to the Graveyard and draw 2 new cards. If 'Soul Resonator' is among the cards sent to the Graveyard, and 'Red Dragon' is on your field, you can banish it from the Graveyard instead if any cards on your field are destroyed by their effects."

Crimson flames erupted from the graveyard, engulfing the monsters of Izayoi Yuki.

This flame can burn everything, but it can also purify everything.

The virus that had invaded the dragons' bodies was forced out, becoming fuel for the burning of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire. Kaiba Mashiro's deadly trap failed to cause fatal damage to Izayoi Yuki.

"Hmm, losing the G has caused more trouble than it's intended."

Kaiba Mashiro wrinkled her nose. If she hadn't used "Proliferation G" to draw so many cards, Izayoi Yuki wouldn't have been able to escape with this "Handbook Kill".

"But the cards on the field can escape, while the cards in your hand cannot!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining virus surged towards Izayoi Yuki's hand.

The female mage wearing the purple rose crown let out a painful cry and was reluctantly sent to the grave by her master.

"Sage of the Seasons" can be Special Summoned by destroying 1 monster on your field and 1 card on your opponent's field. It was originally meant to be used in conjunction with "Death Flower" to create a combo, but that's no longer possible.

"Then let's use another method."

Izayoi Yuki inserts a card from her hand into the Duel Disk: "Activate the Spell Card: 'Temptation of Darkness,' draw 2 cards from your Deck. Then banish the DARK Attribute 'Death Flower' from your hand."

"Don't forget, your subsequent gacha pulls will also be infected by the virus!"

Mashiro Kaiba warned, "If there are monsters with an attack power of 1500 or more inside, they will also be destroyed."

"not at all."

Izayoi Yuki showed that the cards she drew were all the same type, and were not the target of "Death Deck Destruction Virus".

"Summon 'Shield Resonator'! Use the 1-star 'Shield Resonator' to level up the 6-star 'Druid Scale Bug' and the 1-star 'Warbreaker'. The king's roar will now shake the heavens and earth! Engrave this unique power of the overlord upon your being! Synchro Summon, Berserker Soul, 'Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark'!"

"Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

Once again, the synchronized light shone brightly, and the battle-damaged "Crimson Dragon" flew out from the light. Then, the dragon from the abyss dragged the Demon of Light back to the depths of hell.

"Because of another card sent from the field to the graveyard, the effect of 'Druid Scale Worm' activates, sending 'Phantom Guardian' to the graveyard. I then activate the Equip Spell: 'Dimensional Resurrection,' discarding 1 card from my hand to revive and equip the banished 'Death Flower.' Then I activate the effect of 'Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark'!"

[Once per turn, during your Main Phase: Destroy all Effect Monsters Special Summoned except this card with ATK equal to or less than this card's ATK. Then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 500 for each monster destroyed by this effect.]

"Explode! [Absolute Authority Flame]!!"

Layers of flames erupted, and the battle-damaged "Crimson Lotus Dragon," its right hand covered in plaster-like armor and even missing a goat-like horn, roared. With a swing of its arm, flame-shaped rings spread outwards, threatening to crush all the weak.

But before that, overhead, a gigantic star was rapidly growing larger, displaying its undeniable and terrifying oppressive power to everyone.

"That is……!?"

You Xi and the others looked up, and their expressions changed drastically the moment they saw the meteorite.

The clear and lovely voice of the seahorse, Mashiro, proclaimed the true name of the meteorite.

"Chain! The effect of 'Primal Life Form Nibiru' activates! During the turn your opponent Normal or Special Summons 5 or more monsters, you can Tribute all face-up monsters on the field to Special Summon this card. Too bad, Izayoi! I told you so, you made me draw so many cards, now you're really in trouble."

Despite committing the crime, the top-level G finally got into trouble.

Since "Crimson Rising Dragon," Izayoi Yuki has Special Summoned a total of 8 monsters, including one "Hand Summoning Kill." Unless her luck is extremely bad, drawing one or two hand traps is to be expected.

But the meteorite was far too deadly.

Needless to say, the effect of "Right Red Mark" will fail when this meteorite hits. All the hard work that Izayoi Yuki has put in until now will be for naught, and she will never be able to fight against Kaiba Mashiro again.

The outcome seemed to be decided at this point...

"Even so, there are still ways to deal with it."

As the meteorite was about to crash down, threatening to repeat the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, Izayoi Yuki's cold voice echoed in the dueling arena, causing everyone to show a hint of surprise.

At this point, is there still a solution?

——Of course.

"Trap Card 'Great Soul' activated!"

【Great Soul (Normal Trap): When you control a Level 10 or higher Dragon/DARK Synchro Monster, you can banish this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate its effect, and target 1 Synchro Monster you control, increasing its ATK by 2000 until the end of the next turn.】

The white-haired girl took a card from the graveyard; it was one of the cards that "Chaos Dragon Chaos Ruler" had previously piled into the graveyard.

"I currently have 'Crimson Demon Dragon: Burial' on my field, therefore the effect of 'Great Soul' applies. It negates the effect of 'Primal Life Form Nibiru' and increases 'Crimson Demon: Burial's' ATK by 2000."

"Yan Demon Dragon Crimson Lotus Demon - Burial, ATK: 3500→5500"

A massive amount of crimson karmic fire surged from the trap card, transforming into a gigantic demonic dragon that flew into the sky.

The dragon's two strong, humanoid arms grabbed the falling meteorite and, powered by the inexhaustible flames, forcefully pushed it back.

"Unexpectedly..."

Kaiba Mashiro stared in disbelief at what she saw, while Izayoi Yuki continued, "The effect of 'Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark' continues! Destroy all monsters with an attack power of 3000 or less!"

The meteorite was pushed back, and the remaining Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire finally exploded, instantly covering the entire area.

— "Crimson Dragon" destroyed.

—Destruction of the "Flower of Death".

— Destroyed by "Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon".

【Seahorse True White LP: 8000→6500】

Under the flames that could burn even the soul to ashes, except for "Crimson Demon Burial," "Sky Tyrant Dragon," "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon," and "Phantom Layer Guardian" which was strengthened by "Unity Power," all other monsters, including those of the same kind, were wiped out by "Right Crimson Mark," causing Kaiba Mashiro to suffer 1500 points of damage. And in this destruction, new life was also being born.

"Then, if 'Death Flower' is destroyed by a card effect and sent there, Special Summon 'Witch of Time' from your Deck."

"Witch of the Seasonal Flowers, Level 8/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 2900/DEF: 0"
