Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Time, stop?"

Judai was also stunned when he heard Saiou's words, and subconsciously repeated his lines.

"The power of [Power of the Mysteries XXI-World] is the power to control the 'world'. It is a terrifying power that can stop the seemingly unstoppable wheel of fate. That is, to create a brand new 'world'! A world where only I can keep moving forward, and everything else will be stagnant!"

Saiou explained the effects of the cards, but the specific description left Judai and Manjyoume confused.

[Zaiwang Takuma: 4000LP, 1 cards in hand]

[Mystery Power XXI-World] [DEF3100]

[God's City-Valhalla] [Cover] X2

Although he didn't understand the effect of [Mystery Force XXI - World], at least Judai understood that Saiou had just sent two monsters on his field to the graveyard, leaving only [Mystery Force XXI - World] in defense position on the field: "In short, I just need to know how to get rid of the monster in front of me. Then, on my turn, draw--"

Just as he was about to raise his arm to draw a card, Judai's eyes suddenly widened, because he found that he could not lift his arm at all, as if the air around him had changed from its original fluid to a hard solid, binding him up.

“Can’t move!?”

Not only his arms, Judai found that he couldn't even move his fingers. Although he could still speak and blink, he couldn't even turn his head!

"This feeling, Masaka!?" The same situation seemed to be happening to Manjome. Combining what Saiou had just said and the unusual behavior of himself and Judai, Manjome suddenly guessed a possibility, "How could there be such an effect?!"

"Like I said, no matter how surprised you are, you can't change it. This is fate, Yugi Judai, your eyes are so sharp. This is your fate, to stagnate and fall into despair." Saiou said solemnly, "This is the effect of [Mystery Power XXI-World] - the ability to skip the opponent's entire turn!"

“There is no hopeful card drawing phase, no mysterious preparation phase, no main phase full of possibilities, no battle phase full of disputes, and no desperate ending phase. Everything will be frozen and stagnant in this ‘world’. This is the power of [Mystery Power XXI-World], ‘Smash Varudo’!”

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed from his right eye, Saiou looked at Judai with a smile on his face, "Yuki Judai, the divination I got for you is the 'Fool', which represents the beginning of the tarot cards. Your duel is full of infinite possibilities - but in front of the 'world', which is also the ultimate and pinnacle of all tarot cards - [Mystery Power XXI-World], your future possibilities have been erased and fixed as an inevitable defeat!"

"Because after skipping your turn, it will be my turn directly!" Manjome Nagasaku, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and took over the ownership of the turn with a sneer, "Just like the duel rules mentioned at the beginning, you cannot enter the battle phase during Mr. Saiou's turn, but starting from your skipped turn, Yuki Judai, you can enter the battle phase."

"And during my turn, you will face a direct attack right now, without any cards on the field!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

【斎王琢磨→万丈目长作：4000→4000LP，手牌1→6→7】

"Sai, who had exhausted his resources, was replaced by Manjome, who has abundant resources in his hand. Even if Big Brother is a novice in Duel Monsters, he should be able to summon at least one monster with an attack power of 900 or more, right?" Marufuji Sho covered his mouth. "At least one of Big Brother and Manjome will be eliminated before the turn even starts!?"

"Not only that, as long as at least one monster is summoned, [Mystery Force XXI - World] can be activated again at the end phase, skipping Judai and Manjomu's turns once again, and then it will be Saiou's turn again!" Asuka looked at the field nervously, "It feels like being 'locked' by the whole world. I don't want to admit it, but Saiou said it very well. There is indeed a kind of stagnant despair."

"Now, we can only hope that the Manjome Nagasaku is a genuine reborn who can't even summon monsters?" Misawa frowned, but he knew that the possibility was too low. After all -

"Well, first of all, this is the monster card that I used last turn - to be exact, last turn before that, Lord Risai used his card to help me retrieve from my deck, [Tool Game Book]!" Manjome Nagasaku showed a card in his hand, "I Normal Summoned it from my hand!"

【Tool Game Book】【3☆/Location】

【Mechanical family/effect】

[300/300]

——This is what Misawa didn't finish saying, because even if Manjome Nagasaku's original hand was extremely stuck and had a bunch of cards that couldn't be summoned, but because of Saiou's seemingly unlucky [Mysterious Card Reading] before, he randomly picked a card from the deck to add to his hand, so the possibility that he wouldn't be able to summon any monsters did not exist at all!

After seeing the value of the [Tool Game Book], Asuka and the others looked even worse, which made Maruto Sho, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief, nervous again: "It's obviously a monster with 300 attack points, but why are you all so nervous?"

"When a monster's stats aren't very high, you need to be wary of its effects, especially when its stats are 0/0." Misawa said seriously, "Although it's a secret card of the Southern Branch, before that, the [D] deck of 'Transformer Fighter' belonged to our principal Hayato-sensei. He has a record of dueling with people in school, so I have investigated the effects of some of the cards."

Hearing this, Jianshan carefully looked at the senior who also belonged to Huang's dormitory but had a very low presence, as if he had just met him for the first time: "You can even get this kind of information, Senior Liangzhe?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network! And, it's Misawa!" Misawa said seriously, "In short, don't be fooled by its low attack and defense values. The effect of that card is that it can easily do a one-for-two exchange and then pop out more powerful monsters!"

"That's right! Although it looks small, the computing power of this laptop produced by Kaiba Group is roughly equivalent to that of a super-large server seven or eight years ago. The [Tool Game Notebook] also has a very powerful effect." Manjome Nagasaku looked at the [Tool Game Notebook] on the field, which was in Defense Position and thus not transformed, and said, "When the [Tool Game Notebook] is successfully summoned, its effect can be activated. From my deck, add a Level 1☆ Machine-type monster to my hand."

"I add this Level 1☆ Machine-Type monster, [D. Telephone], to my hand."

After retrieving a card, Manjome Nagasaku picked up the [Tool Game Book] on the field and sent it to the Graveyard, saying: "Then I will Release [Tool Game Book] to activate its second effect - Special Summon a [D] monster from my hand, and then I can Special Summon an additional [Tool Trailer] from my hand and deck!"

"Come out, this [D·Telephone] I just retrieved from my hand, and this [Tool Trailer] from my deck!"

On the field where Manzhangmu Changsaku was standing, the [Tool Gaming Laptop] began to deform. The entire notebook split into three parts. The A side where the screen was located was buckled onto the keyboard of the B side, and the whole thing was split into four rocket nests. The C side with a large number of electronic components was transformed into a small robot after a period of "Cybertron-style storage".

The computer USB flash drive turned into a missile and flew out and landed on the ground, splashing countless smoke and dust. Suddenly, the sound of a truck engine was heard behind the smoke and dust. A blue truck carrying an old desktop phone sped to the Wanzhangmuchang production site!

【Tool trailer】【6☆/lot】

[1300/0]

After the blue-fronted truck unloaded the [D·Telephone], the attack representation on the field immediately began to deform. The entire front of the truck split in the middle, and the tires flipped sideways to become a fixed base. The white carriage it was towing was completely open, and a retractable gun barrel rose from it.

Although it only has 1300 attack points, which seems to be unworthy of its level, its transformed posture has a sense of déjà vu of [Smashing Love].

The removed [D·Telephone] was also not idle. After a dazzling transformation, it turned into two portable telephone receivers that served as gun barrels, and a shoulder-mounted number key that turned into a small robot warrior with a floating gun array! [D·Telephone] [1☆/ground]

[100/100]

"There are two monsters on the field!" Seeing that Manjome Nagasaku not only summoned a monster, but also Special Summoned two at once, Marufuji Sho was very nervous, "It's over! The opponent's [Mystery Force XXI-World] can be activated again!"

"It's not just about activating its effect!" Manjome Nagasaku said proudly, "The effect of [Tool Trailer] is quite terrifying, because once per turn, it can select any number of [D] monsters from my hand and send them to the Graveyard, permanently increasing their ATK by the number of monsters sent to the Graveyard by this effect x 800 points!"

"I will send the five cards in my hand, [D·Phone], [D·Scanner Printer], [D·Cellphone], [D·Camera], and [D·Alarm Clock], to the Graveyard, so that the attack power of [Tool Trailer] will increase by 4000 points in one go!"

Behind the cannon mounted on the carriage of the [Tool Trailer], a hatch that seemed to be used to load ammunition was opened. The cards in Manjome Nagasaku's hand were transformed into ammunition one by one and loaded into the hatch, causing its attack power to increase wildly to over 5000 points!

【Tool trailer】【ATK1300→5300】

However, seeing the [Tool Trailer] with such terrifying attack power, both Manjome and Judai were silent, and even the people watching outside the field were silent.

After a long while, Jianshan's complaint broke the silence: "Either the attack power is less than 900 points, or the level is higher than 4☆ and cannot be Normal Summoned. Without the [Tool Game Book] brought by the [Mysterious Card Reading], the eldest brother of Manzhangmu really can't eliminate the eldest brother or anyone in Manzhangmu this round?"

"I finally understand. No wonder Saiou said that the result of [Mysterious Card Reading] was also his choice." Fubuki looked helpless. "It looks like a doubles match, but isn't this the same as Saiou dragging Mr. Nagasaku to take off alone? I thought he would play some kind of coordinated match to respond to Saiou's previous support."

"Well, after all, my brother is not like me and Jun, we have not had much contact with Duel Monsters, after all, he is too busy." Manjome Masaji wanted to save face for his brother at first, but gave up, "Well, he is just a rookie."

"I can see that. After all, even if you want to use the effect of [Tool Trailer] to increase the attack power, 4000 points or more is completely sufficient. There is no need to raise it to 5300 points." Marufuji Sho complained, "It's just a waste of cards, isn't it? Although it can't be used even if it's not wasted."

Manjōme Nagasaku naturally heard everything that was said outside the arena. Although he obeyed Saiō's orders, it did not mean that his personality would change drastically. He was still the same as before - that is, like Manjōme, he did not have a good temper: "Humph, the irrelevant personnel are too noisy. No matter what you say, can the combination of the last two last two hold off the attack of this combination?"

"Once we enter my battle phase, I will immediately use the [Tool Trailer] to remove this shameful fellow from the duel!"

After hearing what Manjome Nagasaku said, Judai, who had just recovered from the time stop, stretched his wrist and shouted, "I won't let you do that! I'm the one whose turn was skipped, so I'll be your opponent!"

"Chain the effect of [Tool Trailer], I will activate the Trap Card - [New Space Expansion]!"

Judai inserted a card from his hand into the magic trap area, and a rainbow door opened, seemingly leading to a "new space".

Manjomu raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Stop joking! Even I know that only magic cards can be activated directly from the hand, and only during your turn, while trap cards can only be activated after being placed on the field for a turn!"

"So that's right, but 'New Space' is the power of the cosmic 'Hero' that transcends the constraints of Earth's gravity, and it won't be constrained by the common sense of dueling!"

Judai said, pulling out a card in his hand, "If there are no cards on my field, [New Space Expansion] can be activated from my hand, and its effect is to select any number of [N] monsters from my hand and graveyard and Special Summon [E·hero New Yuxia] in Defense Position, and the effects of the monsters Special Summoned by this effect are negated."

"However, since [E-hero Shinyuxia] is originally a normal monster, it doesn't matter whether its effect is negated or not!"

"Come out, cosmic hero from the new dimension - Ulutoramane Neos!"

Judai, who was not worried about the copyright at all, shouted loudly and slapped the card in his hand. The silver-white body of [E·hero Xinyuxia] appeared on his field!

[E·hero New Yuxia] [7☆/Light]

[Warrior/Normal]

[2500/2000]

"Its attack power is only 2500 points, and it's in defense mode? It's only 2000 points of defense. It would be easier for Saiou-san's [Mystical Power XXI - World] and my [Tool Trailer] to crush a monster like that than plucking a leaf from the grass by the roadside with your fingers!"

Although the appearance of [E·hero Shinyuxia] on the Judai field was an unexpected monster, Manjome Nagasaku did not take it seriously and arrogantly expressed his contempt.

However, Judai shook his head and said, "My [E·hero Shinyuxia] alone is indeed not enough. But I will use Saiou's words to fight back against you, big brother Manjomu - this is a doubles duel!"

"Although I didn't adjust the deck before the duel, Manjome did add some cards on purpose, and I believe in his ability." Turning his head to look at Manjome, Judai raised his hand and said, "Then let's switch places, Manjome!"

"Snapped!"

Although he honestly high-fived Judai, Manjyoume still said arrogantly, "Stop ordering me around, Judai. If the opponent is my brother, I should take action, right?"

"Your monster is useless. You'd better serve as a sacrifice for my monster to appear. Pass. Show me this card in my hand!"

【游城十代→万丈目准：4000→4000LP，手牌4→2→5】

Pulling out a card from his hand, Manjomu shouted, "Chain the Special Summon of [E·hero Xinyuxia], and during the Main Phase of my opponent's turn, by revealing this card in my hand, I can activate its effect, allowing me to perform a Normal Summon of a [Original Stone] monster!"

"I release this Normal Monster on my field - [E-hero New Yuxia] for an Advanced Summon!"

"The excavation of rock that shakes the heavens and the earth! There is light within, and it roars fiercely! Roar from the royal vein, the giant dragon that pierces the light!" Manzhangmu held up the card, "Advanced Summoning, Level 6☆!"

"Show your fangs! [Original Stone Dragon - Imperial Yellow Jade Dragon]!" (End of this chapter)
