Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Chapter 223 This is an action duel!

Yu Ming's Pachycephalosaurus sent a chill down Kaito's spine, and the image of the horrific state of the Obelisk Legion member on the moon flashed through his mind.

That person was completely helpless against You Ming's chain tactics of using fossil dinosaurs to restrain him layer by layer.

Now, facing Yuya, who believes that "duel brings smiles," Yumei actually brought out this deck known for its blocking and suppression.

This ruthlessness left Kaito speechless: "He really does adhere to the new philosophy of bringing smiles through duels."

""

If you put yourself in the opponent's shoes, then it's naturally a painful duel.

But if we adopt Youming's perspective...

Kaito couldn't even imagine how awesome this would be.

Yuya looked at the lone Pachycephalosaurus on the field, then glanced at the Gaika behind Yuming, and couldn't help but sneer.

The gaze behind the goggles was full of disdain: "That's it? The round ends so easily?"

He shrugged, his tone slightly mocking: "It seems that although you say you don't agree with my ideas, you actually think so too."

Shouldn't a duel be handled with a tense atmosphere? Otherwise, why would they use such a conservative opening?

He raised his hand and slapped the deck, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "My turn, draw!"

The moment he got the card, Yuya suddenly raised his hand, pushed the protective mirror to his forehead, and spread his arms.

He struck a pose like a circus emcee: "Ladies and gentlemen!"

You Ming: .....

Sure enough, this Tomato always likes to use this tactic whenever there's a duel.

"Today is also the day I, Yuya, will showcase entertaining duels! Behold, this is the authentic entertaining duel I learned from Yusho!"

Please enjoy!

Shingo Sawatari clapped enthusiastically from the side, his eyes filled with admiration.

You Ming felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

Yuya proudly raised his chin, raised his hand to reveal two cards, and said with increasing fervor, "I will set the Pendulum Scale for the Magician of Star Reading at Scale 1 and the Magician of Time Reading at Scale 8!"

A light purple and light blue pendulum beam suddenly rose from the Duel Disk, and two phantom images of magicians appeared at the top of the beam.

The magician who reads stars holds an astrolabe, while the magician who reads time moves an hourglass, causing the pendulum scales to solidify into a striking "1" and "8" in mid-air.

A powerful surge of summoning energy swept across the entire area, even the moonlit winds seemed to carry a joyful rhythm.

"This way, monsters of levels 2 to 7 can be summoned simultaneously!"

Yuya suddenly swung his hand down, "Shake it, Divine Pendulum! Draw a beautiful arc in the sky, P-Summon! Appear, my comrades!"

He eagerly anticipated the emergence of hordes of monsters on the field, the ignition of the atmosphere with a spectacular pendulum summon, and the surprise smile on Yu Ming's face.

But the expected monster horde did not appear the next second. The pendulum beams were still shining, but the field was empty.

Only that clumsy Pachycephalosaurus remained standing indifferently in the same spot.

"W-What's going on?!"

Yuya's smile froze instantly, his goggles slid back to his eyes, and he stared at the Duel Disk in disbelief.

His fingers slid rapidly, repeatedly checking the pendulum scales and his hand. "Impossible! The pendulum summon is clearly set up, why can't I summon a monster?"

Yu Ming leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips: "Sorry, sir, the true entertainment duelist."

He raised his hand and pointed to the Pachycephalosaurus on the field, his voice devoid of any amusement: "You seem to have forgotten the effect of the fossil dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus."

While this card is face-up on the field, neither player can Special Summon it.

"W-what?!"

Yuya's pupils constricted sharply as he stared intently at the Pachycephalosaurus, as if seeing this monster for the first time. "You—you actually summoned a monster using this kind of sealing technique?!"

"Is there a problem?"

You Ming raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with impatience, "Duel is meant to determine the winner, win the war, and block the opponent's tactics."

Isn't this perfectly normal practice? Do you think a duel should involve letting your opponent perform to their heart's content, and then laughing it off while you lose?

"This is not how a duel should be!"

Yuya's face flushed red, his voice filled with anger, "Duel is meant to bring smiles! It's meant to connect our hearts!"

You're using this despicable effect to block summons, preventing me from showcasing the charm of entertaining duels. How is that any different from those bastards who merge dimensions?!

"The difference is huge."

Yu Ming took a step forward, his eyes sharp as knives. "They use duels to create hatred and death, while I use duels to end war and suffering."

Your so-called smile is based on ignoring the suffering of others.

"Those who have been turned into cards, those who have lost their homes, can they still laugh?"

He raised his hand and pointed directly at Yuya, his voice suddenly rising: "Without victory, there is no peace; empty talk and smiles are nothing but self-deception!"

You want smiles from the duel? Sure! But first, you need the strength to win this damn war!

Instead of escaping the harsh realities of life with so-called "entertainment duels" here!

You're wrong!

Yuya excitedly stepped forward, "A smile isn't an escape! It's power! It's the power to awaken people's hearts!"

I once used entertaining duels to make countless people who hated each other put aside their hostility and laugh together!

"If I keep going, I'm sure I can make the professor understand that the true meaning of a duel isn't war!"

"Alright! I'll show you! The power of an entertaining duel is enough to break through all barriers and bring smiles to everyone's faces!"

Yuya's roar reverberated throughout the arena, and crimson dueling energy surged wildly: "I summon my entertainment partners to search for Hippo!"

In the pale pink mist, a round hippo appeared, wagging its short tail, wearing circus-style overalls.

It had a tiny magnifying glass on its head, and it hopped around clumsily, its energy fluctuations gentle and playful.

[Entertainment Partner Search for Hippo, ATK800]

"Attack power of only 800? 400 lower than a Pachycephalosaurus, and he's going to attack directly?"

Ruri Kurosaki frowned, her eyes filled with surprise.

Kaito raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew the rules of action duels, but attacking a stronger opponent with a weaker one was undoubtedly courting death.

You Ming scoffed, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall: "The difference in attack power is too great, yet you dare to take the initiative to attack? It seems your entertainment duel is not only impractical but also completely devoid of tactics."

Of course, he was just talking big.

In this situation, what would our Tomato Master use? Need I say more?

This is an action-packed duel!

"What do you know!"

Yuya glared at him, then suddenly pointed at the fossilized pachycephalosaurus on the field, "Battle! Use your entertainment partner to search for the hippopotamus and attack the fossilized pachycephalosaurus!"

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed the overalls he was using to search for the hippopotamus and started running wildly around in all directions.

With short legs, he moved incredibly fast, his eyes sparkling behind his goggles: "Don't forget, this is an action duel!"

The entire arena is the stage for the duel; action cards are the key to turning the tide of battle!
