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

"At this moment, the effect of [Stardust Trail] in my hand activates! If this card is in my hand or Graveyard, and a monster on my field is Tributed, you can Special Summon this card!"

Stardust trailed down from the horizon, casting shimmering starlight, and a red-haired girl with some dragon-like features appeared on the field of the journey.

"Then the effect of [Stardust Synchron] on the field is activated, adding [Stardust Illumination] from the deck to the hand—"

"Then I'll also chain-activate the monster effect of [Necromancer King's Evil Eye]!"

The [Dead King's Evil Eye] on the field of Ereshkigal spewed out a large amount of death energy, which corroded the [Stardust Synchron] on the field of Wandering.

"This effect can only be activated when a Zombie-Type monster on the field, except for [Necromancer's Eye], activates its effect. Banish the Tuner monster [Stardust Synchron] from your field!"

Alright, now that you no longer need the Tuner Monsters required to summon Synchro Monsters, let's see how you plan to perform Synchro Summon!

Ereshkigal looked at the lone [Stardust Trail] on the swimming field and thought to himself.

Chapter 83 Not a Little Arrogant

"'Without Tuner monsters, let's see how you Synchro Summon monsters—'"

"Is that what you're thinking about now, Ereshkigal?"

Driving the D-Wheel alongside Ereshkigal, Yuto glanced at the expression on Ereshkigal's face and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

Ereshkigal: "!"

Can you read minds?!

"I can't read minds, it's just that the expression on your face is too easy to guess." Yuuto smiled and added the magic card [Stardust Illumination] that he had retrieved from his deck to his hand.

Although Stardust Synchron was banished by Ereshkigal using the effect of Necromancer King's Evil Eye, this did not affect the normal activation of its effect, so Yuwa still got the card in his hand.

However, now is not the time to use this card. Yuto put it into his hand and picked out another card from his hand.

"Spell Card [Tune] activated! I add [Scrap Synchron] to my hand from my deck, then send the top card of my deck to the graveyard!"

Yuto flipped over the top card of his deck; it was a [Revolutionary Synchron].

"I Normal Summon 'Junk Synchron' from my hand! Activate 'Junk Synchron's' effect! When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"

"Don't think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Ereshkigal, who was initially feeling embarrassed and annoyed that his expression had been so easily seen through, suddenly felt a pang of unease and reacted instantly.

"When another effect of [Dead King's Evil Eye] is activated, you can negate the effect of any other Zombie monster on the field that activates its effect!"

"Roar--!"

The newly arrived [Scrap Synchron] was about to reach into the yellow hat to pull out his companion when he was startled by the sudden shout of [Necromancer King Evil Eye]. His hand slipped, and the [Doppelganger Warrior], who had just poked his head out of the graveyard, immediately fell back down.

However, even if she negates the effect of [Junk Synchron], it's useless. Now Yuwatari has both Tuner and non-Tuner monsters on the field, and can perform a Synchro Summon.

"I'll use the 3-star Tuner monster [Scrap Synchron] and the 4-star [Stardust Trail] as materials for star tuning!"

3+4=7

"The sacred light of protection converges at this moment, transforming into eternal life! Synchro Summon! Be born! [Ancient Fairy Dragon]!"

Amidst the intertwining of rings and stars, a dazzling light suddenly appears, and the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] is born from a burst of light, spreading its dreamlike wings.

Ancient Fairy Dragon

【7 stars】

[Dragon → Undead/Synchro/Light]

[Defense: 3000]

The Ancient Fairy Dragon coiled its body like a snake and landed on the field of the voyage. The deathly aura around it immediately surged toward it, preparing to assimilate it into this Undying World.

"The monster effect of [Ancient Fairy Dragon] is activated!"

Before the surrounding death energy could gather, Yuuto used the effect of [Ancient Fairy Dragon].

"Once per turn, during my Main Phase, this effect can be activated to destroy all Field Spell Cards on the field, restore 1000 Life Points, and then add 1 Field Spell Card from my Deck to my hand!"

"I'm adding [Black Garden] to my hand! Go! [Ancient Fairy Dragon]! Plain Back!"

At Yudu's command, the Ancient Fairy Dragon on the field flapped its wings and flew into the air, emitting bursts of rainbow-colored waves from its mouth.

The wave of energy swept across the land like a gentle breeze. The surrounding deathly aura, as if encountering its nemesis, dissipated into dust. The world of the dead shattered, and the bustling city was restored to its vibrant life.

[Yoto LP: 4000 → 5000]

Ereshkigal caught the Undead World that popped out of the arena with a grim expression, while Yuwatari placed the Black Garden he had just acquired into the arena area of ​​his Duel Disk.

"Field spell [Black Garden] activated!"

The entire land underwent a dramatic transformation. Countless thorns sprouted from the soil, filling the land like snakes, twining around skyscrapers, and blooming into vast fields of roses.

In an instant, the entire city was transformed into a sea of ​​roses.

Ereshkigal, who had never seen such a sea of ​​flowers before, was stunned. If it weren't for the D-wheel's autopilot function continuing to maintain speed, she probably would have already fallen far behind the ferry.

"flower……"

"Activate the effect of the [Revolutionary Comrades] in the cemetery!"

Yudu's voice brought Ereshkigal back to her senses. She came to her senses and saw that a small yellow mechanical dragon had appeared on Yudu's field.

"If this card is in the Graveyard and you control a Synchro Monster of Level 7 or higher, you can activate this effect by sending the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard and Special Summoning this card!"

However, this card, Special Summoned using this effect, will become Level 1!

[Revolutionary Fellow]

[3 stars → 1 stars]

[Mechanical/Adjustment/Earth]

[Defense: 1300]

Just as the little mechanical dragon appeared on the field, Ereshkigal also noticed a rosebud on her field.

what is this?

She glanced at it curiously, and then found the answer in You Du's words.

"At this very moment, the effect of [Black Garden] activates!"

"When a monster is Summoned or Special Summoned face-up except by the effect of [Black Garden], its ATK is halved!"

After that, the controllers of those monsters Special Summoned 1 [Rose Token] to their opponent's field in Attack Position!

【Rose derivatives】

【2 stars】

[Plant Tribe/Dark]

[Attack power: 800]

Summon a monster to my field?

Ereshkigal frowned. She didn't understand why Yudu would cast such a field spell, but she didn't think he was the kind of person who would be kind enough to replenish her combat power.

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

Yudu's subsequent actions confirmed her suspicions.

"Next, I'll activate the second effect of [Black Garden]!"

Yudou clenched his fist tightly, and as the roses that covered the entire city burst open one after another, the [Rose Derivatives] on the Ereshkigal field also scattered into countless petals that fluttered in the air.

"Destroy this card and all Plant-Type monsters on the field, then Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard with the same ATK as the combined ATK of all Plant-Type monsters on the field."

The only monster on the field with 800 ATK [Rose Token] is a Plant-type, so Yuto can only Special Summon a monster with the same 800 ATK from the Graveyard.

The attack power of the [Doppelganger Warrior] is exactly 800 points!

Oh my, what a coincidence! (Reading in a monotone tone)

"I Special Summon [Doppelganger Warrior] from my Graveyard in Attack Position!"

The black-clad soldier returned to the field, this time without being interrupted. He held a gun in his hand and stood ready beside You Du.

Currently, Yuto's field contains the Level 7 Ancient Fairy Dragon, the Level 2 Doppelganger Warrior, and the Level 1 Tuner monster Revolution Synchron.

If you directly adjust the star level, you can only summon a maximum of one 10-star monster...

Without hesitation, Yudo took one of his last two cards and inserted it into the duel disk.

"Spell Card [Synchro Change] activated!"

This card can banish 1 face-up Synchro Monster I control, and Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster of the same Level as that monster from my Extra Deck, negating its effect!

On the field, the body of the Ancient Fairy Dragon gradually became transparent, returning to its original state with 3 rings and 4 stars, and the stars were adjusted again.

"I banish the Level 7 Ancient Fairy Dragon from the field and Special Summon the Level 7 Synchro Monster Meteor Dragon from my Extra Deck!"

【Meteor Ascending to Dragon】

【7 stars】

[Dragon/Synchro/Light]

[Attack power: 2100]

The Meteor Ascending Dragon, which resembles a smaller version of the Meteor Dragon, appeared on the field. With a wave of his hand, it and the Doppelganger Warrior transformed into 7 rings and 2 stars respectively.

"I used the Level 7 Synchro Tuner monster [Meteor Dragon] and the Level 2 [Doppelganger Warrior] to perform a Level Adjustment."

"To protect the peace and future of the world, let courage awaken a revolution of power! Call to arms!"

"Appear! Level 9! [Power Tool Brave Dragon]!"

Drill bit, bucket, track, golden armor covering its entire body, all kinds of tools become its weapons, yet flowing within that steel body is a torrent of life!

【Power Tools: Courageous Dragon】

【9 stars】

[Mech/Synchro/Earth]

[Attack power: 2500]

[Doppelganger Derivatives]

【1 stars】

[Warrior/Dark]

[Attack power: 400]

"Based on the effect of [Doppelganger Warrior], which is used as Synchro Material, I summon two Doppelganger Tokens to my field, and then chain-activate the monster effect of [Power Tool Courage Dragon]!"

"If this card is Special Summoned, I can equip up to 3 different Equip Spell Cards from my Deck and Graveyard to this card!"

bass!bass!bass!

The Duel Disk instantly popped up the only three Equip Spell Cards in Yuuto's deck.

"I equip [Power of Unity], [Power of Guardians], and [Miracle of Life] to [Power Tool Courage Dragon]!"

As an invisible line connects the monsters in the arena, the aura of the [Power Tool Courage Dragon] gradually grows stronger.

The drill bit mounted on its hand hummed, and the bucket in its other hand kept opening and closing, as if it was excited by the powerful force within its body.

"【Unity Power】 increases the ATK of the equipped monster by 800 times the number of monsters on your field!"

There are now 4 monsters in the swimming area, so the attack power of [Power Tool Courage Dragon] will increase by a total of 3200 points.
