Chapter 1548 Stardust and Lingering Light
"NO.3 Hell Cicada King!!!"

The two monsters transformed into Xyz Material, which, after overlapping with light, summoned a gigantic cicada. Although it had the form of an insect, its body structure looked more like steel. Its cicada wings unfolded, adorned with countless ruby-like crystals, releasing a blinding red light like an alarm indicator.

[NO.3 Hell Cicada King, Defense 2500]

"As expected, it happened. Xyz Summon." Yusei's expression tightened.

The unknown is often the most terrifying thing, and for duelists in this dimension, Xyz Summoning is the so-called "unknown".

Yusei's friends watched the battle from the back. Jack remarked, "But even if it's Xyz, it's just a Defense Stance that strengthens his defense! This guy might actually be quite weak!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be?" Crow said. "Those ordinary duelists who found No. cards were already a bit difficult to deal with, but this is an enemy executive who spreads No. cards. He'll definitely be even more troublesome than the previous ones, won't he?"

Jack snorted and fell silent.

Chanmaru then face down two more cards: "Two cards face down, turn over!"

He then made a provocative gesture.

"If you're confident you can break through my Hell Cicada King's defenses, then feel free to charge in and give it a try!"

At this moment, Yuugen in the air also stopped, and D-Wheel landed on the top floor of a nearby building, watching with great interest. He was also curious about what the Yusei Duel looked like now.

"My turn, draw a card!" Yusei said, "Activate the Spell Card 'Tune'!"
This card allows you to add one 'Synchro' Tuner monster from your Deck to your hand, and then send cards equal to the Level of the searched monster to the Graveyard from the top of your Deck! (Animation effect)

Yusei draws a card from his deck and faces his opponent: "I add 'Super Synchron' to my hand from my deck!"

After showing it, he added it to his hand, and then drew four cards from the top of his deck and pushed them to the graveyard: "Super Synchron is a level 4, so I'll send four cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard."

The animation effect of adding four cards to the search and blind stack only shows the benefit plus the benefit, and it is impossible to see what the activation cost is.

"Level 4, Tuner Monster 'Super Synchron'!"
Level 4, 'Supreme Warrior'!
Adjust the stars!

【4+4=8】

"May our gathered prayers become shining stars of new life, transforming into a path of radiant light!" Yusei recited his classic lines, "Summon! Fly—"

"—Stardust Dragon!"

The High Synchronizer spread his arms, his chest armor plate snapped open, and four shining stars flew out, swirling into a star ring. The High Synchronizer himself, releasing the starlight, gradually faded and disappeared.

The Supreme Warrior was enveloped in a halo, his body also disintegrating into starlight, forming a straight line. The Stardust Dragon of Radiant World spread its wings and flew out from that path of light, its body swirling and soaring into the air, its starlight-enhanced wings flapping and scattering endless stardust.

Stardust Dragon, Attack Power 2500

"Excellent, you summoned Stardust Dragon right away!" Kro encouraged. "Keep this momentum going, Yusei!" Semimaru chuckled, "So you were planning to launch an attack using Synchro Summoning, Synchro Dimensional Man?"

Yusei: "A Synchro Monster that uses 'Master Synchro' as Synchro Material gains 800 Attack!"

[Stardust Dragon, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3300]

The physical card version of Superior Synchro not only weakened its buffing ability, but also added a self-restriction clause that "the Synchro Monster summoned using it as material is automatically banished at the end of its turn." The physical card version's nerf is a massive reduction, a world apart from the original.

Despite his attack power exceeding his opponent's defense, Yusei remained unhurried: "NO. Monsters cannot be destroyed by normal monster battles; this has already been confirmed in previous duels. Therefore, as long as my opponent maintains their defense, my attacks will never succeed. In that case..."

A monster card in Yusei's graveyard automatically exited, and Yusei reached out and took it, displaying it: "I banish 'AD Changer' from my graveyard, and I can change the battle position of one monster on the field!"
With this effect, I'm going to change 'NO.3 Hell Cicada King' to attack stance!

A tiny AD changer appeared on the field, waving its tiny screwdriver with its short arms, looking like a traffic cop directing traffic in the middle of the road. The Hell Cicada King, affected by that invisible fluctuation, switched from defense to offense.

【NO.3 Hell Cicada King, Defense 2500 → Attack 1200】

Semimaru's expression changed slightly: "Good bastard, you actually used my Semimaru's way of expressing myself."

"Go, Stardust Dragon!" Yusei said, "Attack 'Number 3 Hellish Cicada King'!"
Sonic speed of fire!!!

Stardust Dragon swung its long neck, as if all the starlight in its body was being mobilized and gathered into its mouth, transforming into a surging stream of silver light.

But at the very moment of the attack, the slight panic on Chanmaru's face vanished instantly, replaced by a loud laugh: "Hahaha, at this very moment, activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Cicada's Cry Shield - Power of Cry'!" (Anime Card)
The trap was activated, and a powerful energy burst forth from the Cicada King, which was locked onto by the speed of the shot, forming a rainbow-like semi-circular shield.

Stardust Dragon's full-force attack slammed into the barrier, causing the rainbow to tremble violently. Then, the energy rebounded, sweeping back towards Wanderer and Stardust Dragon.

"Cicada's Cry Shield can only be activated when your opponent declares an attack if you control a monster with 'Cicada' in its name!" the Cicada King roared. "Destroy all face-up monsters on your opponent's field!"

Yusei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took action: "Then activate Stardust Dragon's monster effect!"

When the opponent activates an effect that destroys a card, Stardust Dragon can Tribute itself to negate and destroy that activation. Stardust Dragon will then revive from the Graveyard at the end of the following turn.

The Sanctuary of the Sacrificed!

The Stardust Dragon let out a roar that resonated throughout the heavens and earth, its silvery-white body disintegrating into golden specks of light. These specks of light formed a shield, blocking the rainbow-like light reflected from the cicada-shaped canopy.

"You think you can use the power of the Cicada to protect your trump card?" Cicada laughed. "Not so easy!"

At that moment, the effect of 'NO.3 Hell Cicada King' activated!
When an Effect Monster on the field activates its effect, detach 1 Xyz Material to negate that monster's effect!

One of the two super-materials surrounding the Hell Cicada King was immediately drawn into its mouth and swallowed whole.

As it devoured the excessive amount of materials, the energy level within the Hell Cicada King's body surged rapidly in a short time, transforming into a tangible energy beam that blasted out, shattering Stardust's Sacrifice Sanctuary into dust with a single strike!
