Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

Or……

Is Gudu just a decoy, used to confuse and disrupt the game?!

"Attack signal! Queen Knight!!" King Yu announced. "Enter battle phase!! Queen Knight, attack Yu-Yu!!"

[Queen's Knight]

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1500/1600]

"Wait a minute!" Yu Che revealed a face-down card, "Activate the Trap Card - Tomb Raider!!"

"Replicate the cries of the living dead in your graveyard!!"

"Special Summon Dark Noble from the Graveyard in Attack Position!!"

"Furthermore, as long as the Dark Noble is present, I will designate the target of the opponent's monsters!!"

"I choose to have the Queen Knights attack the Dark Nobles!!"

Wang Yang made up his mind.

The reason they're protecting Youyou so relentlessly must be to summon the Sleeping Giant, Gudu!

The next round will be the third round of the game. Although there are still seven rounds before Sleeping Giant Gudu appears, it is easy to achieve that kind of summoning by combining it with cards like Time Leap!

"Then, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—Rush!!" said King Yu. "Increase Queen Knight's ATK by 700!! Defeat the Dark Noble!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Queen Knight, Attack Power: 1500 → 2200

"Whoosh——————————"

The silver blade flashed, and the elegant vampire was finally slain by the knight of light.

Chapter 285 Infinite Loop - An Endless Time Jump!

"Bang!"

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 2200→1900

The Queen Knight's elegant sword strike shattered the monster that Youche had used to protect Youyou.

King secretly calculated the number of turns, then set a face-down card to end the turn.

"Whoosh————————————————"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

You Che continued to execute his plan:

"Activate the Spell Card - Double Spell, discard one Spell Card, and copy one Spell Card from your opponent's Graveyard!"

"I choose—the divine treasure!!"

"With this card's effect, both players will have their hands replenished to six cards!!"

"Magic Card - Angel's Charity!!"

"Draw three cards from your deck and then discard two cards from your hand!!"

"Next, an attack signal is issued—the captain who will charge into battle!!"

"Activate its effect to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand!!"

"I choose—X·Boss Cannon! Attack signal!!"

[The Captain Who Charges into Battle]

【Samsung】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/400]

【X·Chief Cannon】

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1800/1500]

“Yugi, I know you must have a trap card face down in your back row for defense!” Yugi declared loudly. “So before I launch an attack, I must destroy that card!”

"Quick-Play Spell Card - License-Free Resurrection!!"

"Send Z-Metal Tracker to X-Boss Cannon from your deck!!"

"Ban two more monsters from the Duel and summon XZ Tank Cannon from the Extra Deck!!!"

"Sizzle s ...

A dazzling golden current surged between the two mechanical monsters. Under the influence of magnetism, the two monsters attracted each other and began to combine and assemble. Finally, with a flash of light, a heavy mechanical tank appeared on the battlefield!

【XZ·Tank Cannon】

【Six Star】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/2100]

"Activate the effect of XZ Chariot Cannon!!" Yuche announced, "Discard one card from your hand, target one face-down Spell/Trap card on your opponent's field, and destroy that card!!"

"Game, what I'm going to smash is your face-down card!!"

"At the same time, the effect of Disruption Spell activates. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, add Disruption Yellow, Disruption Green, and Disruption Black from your Deck to your hand!!"

"Hmph~" Wang Yang chuckled calmly, "If things go wrong, you might very well defeat me this round, Youcha~"

"However, the card I set is a Trap Card that can chain to your monster effects—Roar of Intimidation!!"

"You will be unable to enter the combat phase this round!!"

"roar--------------------"

The roar of the beast caused all the monsters on the field to tremble, and Yuzuru had no choice but to give up his attack on Yugi: "In that case, after setting a card, I will switch Yugi to defense position and end my turn."

Wang Yang looked at the three monsters on the field, his mind racing with thoughts.

The captain who charged into battle...

As long as this monster exists on the field, it cannot attack other monsters.

Youche clearly wanted to use this card to protect Youyou.

Looking down at the cards in his hand, Wang Yang smiled faintly: "Yu Che, I know you want to achieve a certain tactic."

"However, it seems my combo is coming first~"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Attack signal summons—Absorption Magician!!"

[Absorption Magician]

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1800/1300]

"Activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed! Draw two cards from your Deck!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Treasure Hammer, return this card and four cards from your hand to the deck, shuffle, and draw five cards from the deck!!"

"Then activate Angel's Charity!! Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!!"

"Next, continue activating the Magic Hammer!!"

"..."

With the help of the second Heavenly Treasure Card activated by Yuzuriha, Yuzuriha had seven cards in his hand at the start of the turn. He then used a lot of card draw to send cards from his deck to the graveyard and increase the number of cards in his hand.

When he finally had eleven cards in his hand, Wang Yang stopped and smiled mysteriously.

The monster he initially summoned also emitted an incredibly dazzling light, reaching the highest level of twelve.

The crowd watched this scene with some confusion, wondering what Wang Yang was trying to do.

"Then, what's the use of that monster's level?" Jonouchi asked blankly.

Rebecca shook her head and said, "It's not just about the level. That monster has accumulated a lot of magic indicators. Darling probably wants to use those magic indicators to achieve some combos."

Just as Rebecca said, Yugi waved his arm and activated the ability to absorb magicians: "As long as this monster exists on the field, every time either player activates a spell card, this monster will gain a spell counter, and its level will increase the number of spell counters it receives."

"Once per turn, for every three Spell Counters removed from this monster, I can choose one Quick-Play Spell Card from my Graveyard and return it to my hand."

At this point, Mai had already keenly sensed Yugi's purpose: "It's...it's an infinite loop?! And a loop that can infinitely skip the opponent's turns!!"

Everyone was startled and turned to look at the peacock dance.

Before Mai could even speak, Seto Kaiba explained, "Although that monster's effect is limited to once per turn, as long as it's combined with the Spell Card—Time Goddess's Mischief—you can ignore that negative effect."

"At the same time, Time Goddess's Mischief is a quick-play spell card, so Yugi can activate the Time Leap ability once per turn and use that monster to reclaim the used Time Leap."

Jonouchi counted on his fingers: "But... but even if he uses Time Goddess's Mischief twice in one turn, that monster can only get two Spell Counters. He needs at least three Spell Counters to reclaim the Spell Card, which is simply not enough..."

"This combo will stop after a few rounds..."

"The game's tactics are certainly impressive, but they can't be considered infinite looP..."

Seto Kaiba snorted coldly, this time too lazy to even call himself mediocre: "You thought that crazy round of card draws just now was just to accumulate magic counters? It was to make the deck thinner!!"

"In this way, the game can use the three Magic Hammers placed in the deck beforehand to draw cards in a loop!"

"Due to the special nature of the Magic Hammer, this card will not be sent to the graveyard and can be used repeatedly in the deck as long as certain conditions are met."

"That third magical token was obtained through the Magic Hammer!!"
