Chapter 1551 Meteor Phoenix Assault

Shining Dragon Stardust!
This dragon, like the "Moonlight Dragon: Black Rose" that Izayoi Aki summoned before, is a dragon that should not exist in the 5DS world based on the anime.

This is one of the dragons wielded by the main characters in the 5DS manga, known as the "Duel Dragon". Stardust Dragon is Yusei's Duel Dragon from the manga, and can also be seen as another form of Stardust Dragon.

"This is the new Stardust, a new possibility for me and my companions!" Yusei shouted.

Of course, just like "Moonlight Dragon - Black Rose", Yusei also learned about the existence of this form because of Yugen, and learned about Stardust and the possibility of possessing it.

Yusei clenched his fist.

From the moment that person left, they never let their guard down for a moment.

Constantly designing and improving the D-wheel, racing day and night, constantly dueling, overcoming all obstacles in WRGP.
Whether it's Yusei's belief in himself or his teammates in Team 5DS, they have all become stronger during this time.

It is for their own future, for the world, and even more so so that when that person returns, they can meet him with their heads held high.

"Go forth, Stardust Dragon, with our new possibilities!" Yusei played another card from his hand, "Activate Equip Spell 'Phoenix Wings'! (Original Card)"

Equip this card to Stardust!

Flames suddenly erupted on the field, transforming into a towering firestorm. The flames seemed to have a mind of their own, converging on Stardust and enveloping him like a burning battle armor. Bathed in the flames, Stardust Dragon looked as if he had transformed into a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Semimaru: "What? That dragon looks like it's burning, but its attack power..."

Despite gaining equipment magic, the attack power of the Flash Dragon remained unchanged, which only made Chanmaru feel more uneasy.

Yusei: "Next, I'll activate the Spell Card 'Parallel Tornado!'" (Original Card)
Another spell card appeared on Yusei's field, a jet-black tornado standing like an inverted funnel. The storm swirled and split in two from the center, as if cut in half, becoming two parallel tornadoes.

"Parallel Tornado can destroy one Spell/Trap Card on your field, and then you can choose any other card on the field to destroy!" Yusei said.

Chanmaru understood: "I see. You want to use this card to destroy my Hell Cicada King, and then launch a direct attack on me? But this tactic was within my expectations!"

As he spoke, he flipped over the backcourt cover card.

"Activate the Continuous Trap 'Wall of Numbers'! This card grants resistance to monsters with 'NO.' in their names on your field, making them immune to card effects!"

The trap card released an energy barrier, blocking the Hell Cicada King.

But Yusei's lips twitched, revealing a smile.

"First, Parallel Tornado will destroy one of my own Spell/Trap Cards on the field," Yusei said. "What I'm going to destroy is my Equip Spell 'Phoenix Wings'!"
However, one of the effects of 'Phoenix Wings' is that, once per turn, if the card is about to be destroyed by another card's effect, that destruction is negated!

Then one of the two tornadoes that split from the parallel tornado headed towards the Flash Dragon, but the Flash Dragon's burning wings flapped, and the impact of the flames immediately dispersed the parallel tornado. The phoenix flames clinging to the dragon's wings then grew even hotter than before.

"Furthermore, if 'Phoenix Wings' is originally going to be destroyed by a card effect but the destruction is negated, the ATK of the equipped monster is doubled!"

Yu Xing raised his arm high.

"Stardust the Flash Dragon's attack power has doubled!" [Stardust the Flash Dragon, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 5000]

"Attack power of five thousand!?" Chanmaru was shocked. "It surpasses my Hellish Cicada King!"

But he suppressed the fear that instinctively surged within him.

The Hell Cicada King currently has an attack power of 4200, and as a No. 1, it cannot be destroyed in battle. Therefore, even if attacked by the Lightning Dragon, it will only take 800 damage, leaving the user with 200 HP remaining, meaning they won't die.

There's still a chance next time!
However, Yusei then laughed and said, "Next, the effect of Parallel Tornado can destroy any card on the field."

The card I want to destroy is still my own Equip Spell 'Parallel Tornado'!

Semimaru was shocked: "Destroy your own card again? Are you crazy? 'Phoenix Wings' can only negate self-destruction once per turn, but this time it's really going to be destroyed, and then your Stardust Dragon's ATK will drop back to 2500."

Yusei smiled confidently: "That's not necessarily true."

Cemumaru: "What?!"

Yusei: "At this moment, I will activate the effect of 'Shining Dragon Stardust'! Once per turn, you can choose any card on the field. That card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn!"
And this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!

The physical card version of Stardust Dragon can only negate its own destruction once per turn, but the original version gives that card destruction resistance for the entire turn, making it much stronger than the physical card version.

"What I'll choose, of course, is the equipment magic 'Phoenix Wings'!" Yusei said. "Therefore, the Phoenix Wings will be protected again from the second destruction of 'Parallel Tornado'!"

Chanmaru's pupils contracted, and his lips began to tremble: "Phoenix Wings, if the destruction of this card is negated..."

“That’s right. The Phoenix’s wings were supposed to be destroyed by the card’s effect, but the destruction was negated,” Yusei said, “the equipped monster’s attack power is doubled!”
Phoenix's Radiance!!!

The Phoenix Flame was incredibly hot, erupting without reservation from the wings of Stardust, the Shining Dragon. Stardust's wings instantly appeared to have expanded to several times their original length, resembling burning wings composed entirely of phoenix flames, dancing wildly with blazing light that blotted out the sky.

【Shining Dragon Stardust, Attack Power 5000 → Attack Power 10000】

"Attack power of 10,000." Chanmaru's lips were dry, and he felt that he could barely make a sound.

“That concludes the story!” Yusei exclaimed. “Stardust Dragon!”

The Cicada King instinctively stepped back: "Wait a minute! I know, I was wrong, it was my fault."

Yusei: "Shining Dragon Stardust attacks 'NO.3 Hell Cicada King'!"
Meteor Phoenix Assault!!!

With a devastating blow, stardust and phoenix flames seemed to merge into one, and the burning stardust wings flapped, transforming into burning meteors!
The seemingly indestructible, pitch-black cicada king was finally pierced by this attack. Uncontrollable flames rapidly spread throughout its entire body, as if setting the hellish cicada king ablaze. The overflowing flames reached Chanmaru's body, and it seemed that even the duelist was burning amidst screams of agony.

[Cicada King, LP1000 → LP0]
