How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

[Dragon/Synchronization/Wind]

[Attack power: 4000]

[Traffic light indicator: 5→7]

With no intention of continuing, You Du glanced at the signal indicator that had returned to 7, and then stamped a card.

"Activate the second effect of [Red Dragon]! Target 1 Synchro Monster of Level 7 or higher on the field other than [Red Dragon], return this card to the Extra Deck, and Special Summon a Dragon Synchro Monster of the same Level as the targeted monster from the Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon!"

"Targeting the Level 12 [Shooting Quasar Dragon], I Special Summon the Level 12 [Crimson Supernova Dragon] from my Extra Deck via Synchro Summon!"

The red dragon slowly disappeared from the sky.

Unlike the other three dragons, the city's ground began to crack open with large fissures, from which scalding magma gushed forth. Thick columns of magma formed a continuous mass, and a crimson dragon was born from the magma, letting out a violent roar.

Roar--!

【True Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon】

【12 stars】

[Dragon/Synchronization/Dark]

[Attack power: 4000→7000]

"Attack power... 7000?!"

Seeing the [True Crimson Supernova Dragon], whose size began to grow extremely large with its attack power after being summoned, Fujimaru Ritsuka could not hide her surprise.

"The attack power of 【Crimson Supernova Dragon】 will increase by 500 points for each Adjustable Monster in my Graveyard!"

Yuuto explained that his graveyard now contains six monsters: [Scrap Synchron], [Strike Synchron], [Wheel Synchron], [Revolution Synchron], [Jet Synchron], and [Twin Stars of the Heavenly Wheel], which is a Synchron Tuner monster.

【Stardust Synchron】 is not in the Graveyard because it is Special Summoned to the field by its first effect and then banished from the field when it leaves the field again.

Therefore, the attack power of [True Crimson Supernova Dragon] increased by 3000 points.

"My turn is over."

After transferring ownership of the turn to Quetzalcoatl, Yudo ended his turn.

"Oh~ Is it the older sister's turn? Well then, it's my turn, draw a card~"

Facing the three giant dragons on the field, Quetzalcoatl seemed completely unfazed by the pressure and cheerfully drew a card.

"Yeah~ I'm going to activate the Spell Card [Reinforcements] from my hand—"

"Then I will chain activate the monster effect of [Shooting Quasar Dragon] once per turn. This effect can only be activated when a Spell/Trap/Monster effect is activated. Negate and destroy that activation. I will negate and destroy your [Reinforcement] effect!"

However, his enthusiastic attitude was met with only a cold response. Quetzalcoatl watched helplessly as the cards on his field were reduced to countless fragments by the precise breath of [Shooting Quasar Dragon].

"Oh no!" Quetzalcoatl let out a mournful cry, then picked up another card from his hand, "Then I'll Normal Summon [Goblin Over-the-Shoulder Tyrannosaurus Rex] and activate its effect—"

"In that case, I will use the monster effect of [Cosmic Transformation Dragon] to banish this card until the End Phase. When my opponent Normal Summons, Flip Summons, or Special Summons a monster, I can activate this effect to negate it and destroy the monster."

He died before leaving the army.

Seeing this second victory, even Quetzalcoatl could hardly maintain his smile.

She now understood the point of everything Yuuto had done in the first round...

However, Quetzalcoatl did not give up and continued to place a card in the playing area.

"First, I'll use the Field Spell [Gougi Deathmatch]! Then, I'll activate the Normal Spell [Gougi Villain Turns Right] from my hand!"

The walls around the track were transformed into octagonal cage wire mesh, but then disappeared the next moment.

"This card can be activated by targeting 1 'Goblin' card you control and 1 'Goblin' monster in your Graveyard. Destroy the targeted card on your field, and Special Summon the targeted monster from your Graveyard!"

Using her newly activated Field Spell "Goblin Battle" as the target of destruction, she Special Summoned "Goblin Over-the-Shoulder Tyrannosaurus" from her Graveyard.

The blue warrior with claws leaped from the abyss of death and returned to Quetzalcoatl's field.

[Just now, I threw the Tyrannosaurus Rex over my shoulder]

【4 stars】

[Warrior Race/Land]

[Attack power: 1800]

At this point, Quetzalcoatl's hand had been reduced to only two cards by the swoop, but she did not hesitate to send one of them to the graveyard.

"I activate the monster effect of [Gougi Head Hammer Bat] from my hand, discarding [Gougi Bear Hug Bear Spirit] from my hand, and Special Summon this card in Defense Position~"

"At the same time, this card will also increase the ATK of [Goblin Over-the-Shoulder Tyrannosaurus Rex] by 800 points!"

Quetzalcoatl, having cleared her hand, raised a finger to the air and continued speaking in her distinctively exotic accent.

"I'm going to link the two monsters on the field with link arrows! Arrow confirmed! ←↓! Summoning condition: 2 'Goblin' monsters!"

A circuit with nine dim arrows appeared in the sky. Quetzalcoatl's [Goblin Over-the-Shoulder Throw Tyrannosaurus] and [Goblin Headbutt Bat] on the field transformed into orbs of light and flew toward two of the arrows.

"Open the circuit to the professional wrestling arena, connect and summon!"

"L-ink2! [Gouki Jet Cannibal]"

[Gouki's Jet-Spitting Ogre]

【L-ink2】

[Warrior/Connection/Ground]

[Attack power: 2000]

"The effects of 'GouGui Over-the-Shoulder Throw Tyrannosaurus Rex' and 'GouGui Headbutt Bat' in my graveyard are activated! I add the Spell Cards 'GouGui Resurrection' and 'GouGui Finishing Move' from my deck to my hand!"

Quetzalcoatl drew two cards retrieved from the Duel Disk and immediately inserted one of them into the Spell & Trap Zone to activate it.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Gougi Resurrection' from my hand! Special Summon the Level 4 'Gougi Over-the-Shoulder Tyrannosaurus Rex' and the Level 2 'Gougi Headbutt Bat' from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"

Seeing the two monsters jump out of the graveyard and onto the field, Yuwatari, who was piloting the D-Wheel, showed no change in expression, and even felt a little amused.

His Crimson Lotus is ready to clear the field.

"I've set up Link Arrows for the 3 monsters on the field! Arrow confirmed! ←↙↘→! The Summoning condition is 3 or more 'Goblin' monsters!"

Quetzal Coyatt was unaware of what awaited her. Seeing that Yuuto made no move, she seized the opportunity and used Link Summon to summon all the monsters on the field.

The three beams of light split into four, each activating one of the arrows in a circuit in the sky.

"Activate! The circuit to the pinnacle of wrestling! Connection summoning!"

"L-ink4! [Gundam Giant Ogre]!"

A giant several meters tall, wearing a cloak decorated with sharp teeth and wielding a greatsword, leaped onto Quetzalcoatl's field.

【Giant Ogre】

【L-ink4】

[Warrior Race/Connection/Earth]

[Attack power: 3000]

At this moment, Quetzalcoatl also inserted the last card in his hand into the Duel Disk.

"Alright~ Let's end the game with this move! I activate the Spell Card [Gougi Finishing Move]! Target my [Gougi Giant Ogre], increase its ATK by 1000 points (number of Link Marks)!"

【Giant Ogre】

[Attack power: 3000→7000]

However, at this moment, Yudo lifted his cover.

"At that very moment, I activated the face-down card, and the Quick-Play Spell [Forbidden Lance] was activated! It reduces the ATK of your [Giant Giant Ogre] by 800 points until the end of the turn, and is unaffected by the effects of other Spell/Trap Cards!"

"Wow~ I didn't expect you to have that trick up your sleeve. But unfortunately, I've already chained in another effect of [Giant Giant Ogre]. When an opponent activates an effect that targets this card on the field, this card's ATK decreases by 500. Negate that activation!"

【Giant Ogre】

[Attack power: 3000→2500]

Sir, we've caught up with the chain!

"You just... activated a monster effect, right? Well then, at this moment, the monster effect of [Crimson Supernova Dragon] has activated!"

Seeing that Quetzalcoatl had rendered his Gaika ineffective, Yudo was not angry but pleased, and he followed the chain with a smile.

"Once per turn, this effect can be activated when an opponent's monster's effect is activated or when an opponent's monster declares an attack—"

Banish this card and all cards on your opponent's field!

Quetzalcoatl: "Huh?! Wait—!"

"Go! [True Crimson Supernova Dragon]! True Crimson Meteor Shower!"

Roar--!

With the roar of the Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon, countless meteorites engulfed in flames rained down from the sky, crashing onto the ground and engulfing the Giant Ogre in the meteor shower.

Looking at his empty field, with not a single card left in his hand, Quetzalcoatl had no choice but to end his turn.

At the same time, the instant her turn ended, [Cosmic Transformation Dragon] returned to Yuwatari's field.

"My turn, draw a card."

Knowing that the duel had ended, Yuwatari immediately declared that the battle was about to begin.

"Battle has begun, Quetzalcoatl! [Meteor Quasar Dragon]'s direct attack on you! Heaven and Earth Creation Strike - Creation Burst!"

A beam of light, as dazzling as a star, shot out and streaked across the clouds like a meteor, striking Quetzalcoatl's D-Wheel directly and emptying all of her LP.

Quetzalcoatl LP: 4000→0

【Yoto LP: 4000】

[Yudou: Win!]

Chapter 72 Bang Bang Ka Bang! A new member has joined!

Under the breath of the Meteorite Dragon, Quetzalcoatl's D-Wheel was like a small boat sailing on a stormy sea, instantly capsized by a huge wave.

Quetzal Coyatter did not choose to jump off the bike before the D-wheel was overturned, but instead crashed into the fence on the side of the track with the D-wheel, sparks flying.

After the duel ended, the surrounding scenery disappeared along with Quetzalcoatl's D-Wheel, the clouds dispersed, and the other people in the audience were sent back to where they were before.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little disoriented when she suddenly went from sitting to standing. She instinctively tried to stand up, but instead bounced on the spot.

When she realized what she had just done, her face turned bright red under the curious gazes of everyone, and she hurriedly ran towards Yudu and Quetzal Koyatl as if she were fleeing.

The leopard-man, who had already fallen asleep at the start of the duel, collapsed to the ground. When he woke up, he looked bewildered, drool dripping from his mouth, and had a blank stare in his eyes.

what?

what happened?

Yudu stopped the D-ship and came to Quetzal Koyatl, who was lying on his back in the ruins of the collapsed house. He leaned down and looked at the other man, who was lying sprawled out among the rubble.

“You have lost, Quetzalcoatl.”

"Yes, I lost, big sister~"

There was no trace of resentment on her face. She laughed heartily as she admitted her defeat. Feeling the binding sensation that had been on her soul ever since she lost the duel, she sat up from the ground and asked Yu Du.

"So, what are the conditions you, as the victor, propose?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just fled from the rear, immediately slowed her pace upon hearing these words.

Because Yuuto had explained the consequences of losing a duel to them before they set off, she wasn't surprised by what Quetzalcoatl said. She was only walking quietly because she was curious about what Yuuto would ask for.

After a moment's thought, Yuto, who had already sensed Fujimaru Ritsuka's presence, suddenly turned around and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just thought she hadn't been discovered.

"What do you think, Master?"

"Huh? Are you asking me?" Fujimaru Ritsuka, caught red-handed eavesdropping, stood awkwardly in place. "Uh... how about we just have her leave the Three Goddess Alliance and join our side?"

Long before Yuuto dueled with Quetzalcoatl, she and Mash had examined the soldiers she had 'killed' and found that they had only been rendered powerless and had not lost their lives.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was often in a state of insufficient combat power in the first six singularities and had long developed the habit of picking up teammates everywhere to supplement her combat power, immediately thought of this when Yuuto asked her what request she wanted to make to Quetzalcoatl.

Moreover, this is a goddess of the highest rank, who will surely be of great help to them in the process of conquering this singularity!

“Is that so? I understand.” Yudou nodded, speaking casually to Quetzal Koyatl as if they were having a chat:

"In that case, Quetzalcoatl, you shall withdraw from the Three Goddess Alliance as my Master has instructed, and become our ally!"

However, Quetzalcoatl, who was unaware of the specifics of the Noble Phantasm, was in a dilemma. She didn't mind joining Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, but the contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance was not something that could be easily broken.
