"DD Orthos, Level 4/Adjustment/DEF: 1800"

When “DD Griffin” is Pendulum Summoned, discard 1 “DD” card or “Contract” and draw 1 card. Then construct a Light Network using the two monsters “DD Griffin” and “DD Orthos”.

"To rule over all things in the world, descend upon the pinnacle of existence! Xyz Summon, Rank 4, 'DDD Tide King Caesar'."

"DDD Raging Tide King Caesar, Rank 4/Water/Demonic/Xyz" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1200"

"2 x 4-star Demon-type monsters"

With a greatsword, waves surged forth, and a heavily armored demon materialized.

Caesar—this is the name of a famous monarch in the Roman Empire, and it was later used to refer to an emperor. Ryo Maruto in GX uses this as his nickname, but here, it's just one of the stepping stones.

"Using 'King Caesar of the Raging Waves' and 'Bilgamesh' as ​​materials, a second entity, 'DDD King Bilgamesh of the Abyss,' is summoned."

"At that moment, the effect of 'Caesar' activates. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add 1 'Contract' from your Deck to your hand. Then comes the pendulum effect of 'DDD Evil King Abyss Doom God'."

[If you successfully Special Summon a "DD" monster, you can target 1 "DD" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster, and you take 1000 damage. This turn, your opponent takes half battle damage.]

"Resurrected from the graveyard: 'DD Griffin'."

The Griffin, which had just become an Xyz Material for the "Raging Tide King," has returned, triggering its last remaining effect.

"When 'God Zero King' is in the Pendulum Zone, once per turn, I take 0 effect damage. Therefore, I will not take damage from 'Evil King'. Then, because 'DD Griffin' was successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard, 'DD Necromancer Slime' from my Deck was added to my hand."

"Activate the Continuous Spell: 'Contract of the Demon King', once per turn, activate its effect. Fusion: 'DD Sage of Magic Kepler' on the field and 'DD Necro Slime' in your hand."

"The power of the other-dimensional demons, now merged into one, give birth to a new king! Fusion Summon! Be born, Level 6, 'DDD King of Fire, Temujin'!"

"DDD Genghis Khan, Level 6/Fire/Demon/Fusion" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 1500"

After the raging waves come the flames.

Holding a sword and shield, the fire demon bearing the title of King of Mongolia emerged from the fused light, followed by another fusion effect.

"Activate the effect of 'DD Necromancer Slime' which was sent to the graveyard, and detach it and 'Bilgamesh' to fuse and summon the second form of 'Fire King'."

"If 'DD' is successfully Special Summoned, 'Genghis Khan's' effect activates. 'DD Orthos' from the Graveyard is Special Summoned in Defense Position."

In the blink of an eye, five monsters suddenly appeared in front of Kaiba Sojin.

At this point, his preparations were complete.

With a wave of his hand, Kaiba Soujin unleashed a burst of Synchro and Xyz Synchro effects that enveloped the five demons on the field. A powerful aura emanated from the Nebula Vortex and the white light of Synchro Synchro.

"Use two Rank 6 monsters to stack light, Xyz Summon, Rank 6, "DDD Raging Tide King Decision Caesar".

"Then, the 4-star 'DD Orthos' modifies the 4-star 'DD Griffin', raises its blood-stained sword, and leaps over the corpses of heroes! Synchro Summon! Birth, Level 8! 'DDD Bloodthirsty King Sefried'."

"Finally, using the 'DDD Abyss King Billgames' monster as material, I Xyz Summoned 'DDD Pardon King Death Machine God' at Rank 10!"

"DDD Raging Tide King Decision Caesar, Class 6/Xyz, ATK: 2800"

"DDD Blood King Seifer, Level 6/Synchro, ATK: 2800"

"DDD Pardon King Death Machine Descendant God, Rank 10/Xyz, DEF: 3000"

"This card can also be Xyz Summoned by overlaying it on top of any 'DDD' monster you control."

Two instances of overdose, one instance of homologation.

In an instant, three large "DDD" ace monsters descended upon Kaiba Sojin from the front and back.

In an instant, the monsters on the field changed their appearance drastically.

The "DDD" demons standing on the battlefield today possess an extremely powerful aura and cannot be underestimated.

What's even more surprising is what Kaiba Sojin showed in this round.

"Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and the most difficult Pendulum... This guy actually used them all in one turn, damn it, he's a monster."

Bingjian gritted his teeth, his face solemn, and, influenced by a habit he developed while dueling hunters, uttered a curse.

Including Link Summoning Techniques of L-ink3 and above, the five summoning techniques are equally matched. While it's not to say that one cannot become a strong player by specializing in only one summoning technique, learning each one clearly greatly expands the possibilities available to a duelist.

Therefore, in the D Alliance, anyone who wants to become a professional duelist must master at least two summoning techniques.

However, the difficulty of learning each additional summoning technique increases exponentially with each new one learned.

Aside from exceptional cases like Yuki, very few people in this world can master all the extra summoning techniques.

But the Kaiba Sōjin before him was such a genius. Moreover, he seemed to do it with remarkable ease.

The power of the Seahorse Soujin can be glimpsed from this very beginning.

However, for Youxi, this level of formation was not too bad.

Not long ago, he had experienced a similar situation with Amagi Naruto.

If it were just one or two monsters, he might have a headache, but with three monsters... there's no better situation than this.

Yu Xiwei glanced almost imperceptibly at her card, while at the same time, Kaiba Soto's voice drifted over from afar.

"Judging from your expression, you should have a way to deal with my formation—then, before officially ending this turn, activate the spell card: 'Pot of Greed'. Draw 2 cards from your deck."

"Then, activate the normal spell—'Detain'."

"Pay 1000 life points, reveal the opponent's hand, and discard one card from it."

"what?"

Looking at the emerald green card that Kaiba Sōjin had moved to the back row, Yūki's expression turned to astonishment, caught completely off guard: "It's 'Imprisonment'!?"

"impossible!"

The others were also shocked: "Isn't the 'detention' card supposed to have disappeared long ago?"

"The 'Detention' card is indeed very rare. It hasn't been produced since over a hundred years ago, before the D Alliance was even established. However, the Kaiba Corporation's financial resources are unparalleled; as long as some remain in the world, they can certainly be collected if they want to."

Kaiba Aoto casually answered everyone's questions and said to the boy opposite him, "Now, show me your cards, Yuuki."

"Well……"

Yu Xi had no choice but to reluctantly reveal his hand cards.

Kaiba Aoto immediately spotted the greatest threat: "Discard the 'Sun God's Winged Dragon - Sphere Shape'."

【Seahorse Aoi LP: 7000→6000】

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of Feel power enveloped the "Winged Dragon of the Sun - Sphere" card, shattering Yuki's plan to reverse the situation before it even began.

The duel had barely begun when Youxi was given a severe beating.

It was as if he was being told that the tricks used against Amagi Naruto were useless against Kaiba Sōjin.

"Face 1 card, end turn."

Having eliminated the biggest threat to his formation, Haima Cangren took the opportunity to declare the end of his turn.

Having lost the possibility of repeating the same trick and having his hand completely exposed, Yu Xi must find a way to break through in this round, otherwise he will really be finished in the next round.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Realizing this, Youxi tensed up and forcefully pulled out cards from the deck.

After glancing at it, he thought for a moment and said, "In the main phase, first activate the continuous magic: 'Dark Magic Circle'!"

"As part of the effect's processing upon activation, reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and add the Trap Card related to 'Dark Magician'—'Magician's Guiding Array'—to your hand."

In front of Yuki, a ring symbolizing the "Dark Magician" appeared, and a purple trap card emerged from the ring and came into his hand.

He then turned and entered the cemetery.

Send two cards, including "Horus's Glory - Imset", to the Graveyard to activate their effects. Add "King's Coffin" from your Deck to your hand and draw 1 card.

"At this moment, the effect of 'Guardian Priest Mahad' is activated!"

"When you draw this card, you can Special Summon 'Mahad' to my field."

Yu Xi showed the cards she had drawn.

When "Guardian Priest Mahad" fights against DARK monsters, its attack power is doubled to 2 times the original value, which is 5000 points.

Besides "Tidal King", Kaiba Soujin's other two monsters on the field are both DARK, so he can remove at least one of them.

"The effect of 'DDD Raging Tide King's Decision Caesar' has activated."

—But as expected, things didn't go so smoothly.

During Yuki's declaration effect, Kaiba Sōjin also used his monster power, proving that his "DDD" monsters on the field were not just for show.

[When a monster's effect, Spell/Trap Card that Special Summons a monster is activated, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it. After that, you can target 1 "DD" monster you control other than this card; that monster and this card gain 1800 ATK until the end of this turn.]

"Remove 1 excess material to negate and destroy the effect of 'Guardian Priest Mahad'."

With the command of Kaiba Sojin, a spiked hammer taller than a man was smashed down by the Raging Wave King, stirring up endless waves. The surging waves transformed into water arrows, piercing through the projection card of "Guardian Priest Mahad".

This prevented it from even making its debut before it met its unfortunate end.

"After that, the attack power of both 'King of Raging Waves' and 'King of Cursed Blood' increased by 1800."

"DDD Raging Waves King Decides Caesar, ATK: 2800→4600"

"DDD Blood King Seifert, ATK: 2800→4600"

"But! 'Guardian Priest Mahad' has another effect!"

Before there was time to mourn the passing of "Mahad," Yuki shouted urgently, "If this card is destroyed, I can Special Summon 1 'Dark Magician' from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"
