Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 746 Passing on the Torch (6K)

The duel began, and Ryuzaki the Dinosaur once again put his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the robot begin to operate.

Since there was no way to draw cards in the first round, the robot started its own turn immediately.

Beside him, the person in charge of the dueling AI was explaining the machine to him.

"This test machine is a dueling AI developed by our company Haima by collecting cards from multiple dimensions, organizing and researching them. It has even developed a certain degree of intelligence."

"You guys are actually researching truly intelligent AI?"

"Haima's research fields are all-encompassing." The employee confidently raised his head, feeling proud.

Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, knew nothing about these things and had no interest in them.

Even at Fengguang Company, he was the kind of mascot who only took charge of duels and didn't concern himself with any other affairs.

Because he doesn't have that talent.

As someone who dropped out of school early and spent many years wandering, I certainly don't have professional knowledge, so it's best to let professionals handle professional matters.

Of course--

Professionals should handle professional tasks.

As the machine operated, the first monster, shining with light, appeared in front of it.

It was a gigantic angel that shone with golden light, its body entwined with the flames of the blazing sun, and behind it seemed to be countless heroes, like the ruler of the sky.

Flare Overlord Hyperion, Level 10, Light attribute, Angel race, Attack power 3200.
"This is a card we found in the world of angels. Although we did not see the true form of the ruler, in that dimension, as long as you have enough perseverance, you can obtain the blessing of angels. This card is one of the cards that we obtained permission to copy after going through great lengths."

This is a rather powerful monster. Not only can it replicate effects—”

"Okay, shut up."

"Huh?" The staff member was taken aback.

"Kaiba asked you to explain how the machine works, not to talk about the card effects. You don't need to teach me the rest." Dinosaur Ryuzaki was getting impatient.

"But the effect of this card..."

"I don't need your explanation." Dinosaur Ryuzaki looked at the staff member, his pupils seemingly vertical, and said calmly, "I am a duelist, I don't need your instruction."

"Step back," the seahorse said.

"Yes!" The employee sullenly stepped aside.

Kaiba naturally wouldn't allow his subordinates to say much during the duel.

But the machine in front of him was the result of the hard work, resources, and precise calculations of the company employees responsible for testing. Every step was a source of pride for them. As an opportunity to demonstrate the machine to the president, he naturally wanted to explain every step in his best effort.

It's important to understand that although this machine uses calculations to build the deck, the cards within it were genuinely obtained from the elves by these testers through their own perseverance and sincerity; each card represents their hard work.

Humph……

Some employees were even secretly competing with each other.

If you don't listen to good advice, you'll definitely suffer the consequences later.

"Ok?"

Just as he was thinking, in the duel arena, the dinosaur Ryuzaki let out a surprised sound.

A black vortex appeared before him, and two monsters surged into the dark vortex. Then, a tall, silver-white mechanical rhinoceros beetle slowly flew out from it.

The two enormous monsters that had appeared earlier had now transformed into golden "satellites" orbiting the insect.

Electro-Light Bug - Bus Rhinoceros Beetle, Rank 7, Light, Insect, Attack 2600, Xyz Material 2.
"They can even use overdose?" Dinosaur Ryuzaki became slightly interested.

Is that surprising?

The responsible staff immediately straightened their backs.

And there's more to surprise you!

"Beep—Beep—Magic Card, suddenly mutated. Tribute Hyperion on the field to Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck."

"Oh?" Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, raised an eyebrow instantly. "Even that kid's sudden mutation is part of it?"

"Although sudden mutations are quite rare, they do exist within Haima Corporation." The Haima Corporation representative said confidently, head held high.

As the machine moved, a green tiger, armed with a wooden dragon and looking exceptionally fierce, appeared on the robot's field, staring menacingly ahead.

Natural Wood Dragon Beast, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Beast Race, Attack Power 2800.
This card was obtained by Seahorse Corporation from Pendulum Dimension, and it is considered one of the few results of such a transaction.

Although it says "This card's Fusion Summon cannot be performed without the above cards", you can directly Tribute a Level 10 monster and bring it to the field by using a card like Sudden Mutation.

However, sudden mutations, natural wood dragons, and even level 10 monsters are all rare cards, and they can only be brought together at events like these tournaments and testing facilities.

For an ordinary person, collecting all of these cards would be an impossible task.

"Oh, Naturewooddramon?" Ryuzaki the Dinosaur recognized it now.

Although he didn't recognize Hyperion and the Bus Rhinoceros Beetle, he did recognize Nature Wood Dragon.

In the Synchronous Dimension, although he didn't find an opportunity to duel with Hikaru Amagi, he did serve as an advisor before the finals, along with Jaden Yuki, Joume, Daichi Misawa, and others, helping Hikaru Amagi make decisions.

He had seen this card before and knew how powerful it was.

"Magic Card: Resurrection of the Dead".

The robot then took out another card and placed it on the field. Immediately afterward, the archangel from the graveyard reappeared on the field, waving flames that resembled wings.

"End turn."

There is one Synchro, one Fusion, and one Xyz Monster, and it seems to be effective.

These guys at Haima seem to actually have some skills.

On the other side, several testers were also recording the test results.

These three monsters are the strongest monsters they have collected, and also the three monsters with the greatest range of attack capabilities.

Hyperion, the Flare Overlord, can send a monster card with the title "Accomplisher" or "Sacred Land of the Sky" from his Deck, hand, or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Until the end of the turn, this card is treated as a card with the same name as that monster and gains the same effect.

In addition, each time your opponent activates a card effect, you can banish 1 Fairy-Type card from your hand or Graveyard, and target 1 card on the field. Banish that card.

Effect 1 not only assists in deployment but also serves as ammunition for Effect 2, making it extremely powerful.

Electro-Bug Buster Beetle: Deduct 1 Xyz Material and destroy the monster with the highest DEF on your opponent's field. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.

This card is not only easy to Xyz Summon, but it also has a piercing effect. More importantly, its second effect is not a card name effect that can be used once per turn.

Unfortunately, the staff only had one Bus Rhinoceros Beetle. Otherwise, if they had collected three Bus Rhinoceros Beetles, it would have been three monster destructions.

Of course, even so, it's still enough to rip people off.

Because they all know that Ryuzaki is a duelist who uses "Dinosaur-Type" monsters, and any Dinosaur-Type duelist will inevitably use a card - Little Horned Dragon.

To destroy the Little Diablos, you either need a spell card or a monster card. Most of the cards that help destroy the Little Diablos are monsters with higher defense than it. Even if a monster has the same defense as the Little Diablos, you can choose a monster other than the Little Diablos to stop Ryuzaki from destroying it!
This alone is already quite an obstacle for the dinosaur race!

This meant that the dinosaur Ryuzaki was unable to expand in multiple layers by destroying its own ceratopsians!

Of course, Ryuzaki can still choose to destroy the little horned dragon by fighting it, but the little horned dragon destroyed in battle cannot activate its effect.

As for the final Natural Wood Dragon Beast, it is the elite of the elite. It is also a means specifically designed to limit Ryuzaki's ability to destroy dinosaurs using magic cards!

While Natural Wood Dragon is on the field, when a Spell/Trap Card is activated, you can banish 1 card from your Graveyard and send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard to activate it. Negate that activation and destroy it.

This effect can be used without restrictions!
Even if you have 3 Lightning Bolts and 3 Black Holes in your hand, you can't stop Nature Wood Dragon. If it's a deck that specializes in magic and traps, it might even defeat you in one hit!

With these three monsters for banishing, negating, and locking, even the best duelist should be able to...

"Three high-level monsters, including Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz, but these guys are just empty shells. True duelists won't be deterred by such a scene."

"I don't know what's so great about these three monsters, but... it doesn't matter to me." Dinosaur Ryuzaki drew a card from his deck, then casually took a card from his hand. "Activate, the effect of Phantom Hybrid Dinosaur!"

Fantasy Creation: Hybrid Dinosaurs!
What kind of monster is this?!
The staff members were shocked.

As the card was revealed, a dinosaur made of skeletons appeared behind Ryuzaki, accompanied by ghostly flames. Kaiba, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but get a little interested when he saw the card and let out a "humph".

interesting.

"The effect of Hybrid Dinosaur of Phantom Creation: During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. During this Main Phase, Dinosaur monsters on your field are unaffected by your opponent's activated effects."

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

How can there be such strong resistance?!

The entire dinosaur race!?

"I have overcome countless hardships and learned painful lessons. Now, I will never let the outside world affect my true self again—therefore, dueling should be done by duelists!"

The ghostly fire boiled and burned, and his soul, which had been weakened by the Orichalcos, had been fully restored. Now, he was burning with an even stronger fighting spirit.

This unique dinosaur is the new symbol of the soul of Ryuzaki the dinosaur.

A powerful dinosaur, undisturbed by anything!
"Um... what do we do now?"

Several data entry staff members, witnessing this scene, broke out in a cold sweat and appeared somewhat nervous.

"It's alright. To really get going, we'll probably need more spell and trap cards. With Nature's Wood Dragon Beast, it won't be that easy to get through—"

After hearing this, the group felt relieved.

But will things turn out the way they expect?

"Normal Summon, Level 4, Jurassic Stegosaurus."

A dinosaur engulfed in flames slowly appeared on the body of the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

Looking at the dinosaur engulfed in flames, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, recalled his adventures in the DT dimension. To be honest, looking back now, Ryuzaki felt a little unreal. The DT dimension was extremely dangerous; you could see elves fighting for profit and territory everywhere. The Jurassic race, in particular, was known for its fiery temper, showing no mercy to any force that dared to provoke them, always starting with mutual destruction.

However, he had a very smooth time in the DT dimension. Although he would encounter danger from time to time, he did not seem to get injured.

At that time, he simply thought it was because he was lucky, but after watching the duel between Tierra and Sofia, and the duel between Amagi Hikaru and Tierra, he began to have a vague idea in his mind.

Maybe it's because of that kid that I've been able to have such a smooth ride in the DT Elf Dimension?

Looking back, he realized that he had received a lot of help from that kid, Amagi Hikaru, which enabled him to emerge from the shadows of the past.

Really...

He shook his head.

Why be so dramatic at a time like this?

Since he had given me so much help, I should of course repay him. Although the erythropeptide he gave me before had made a great contribution, it seemed to be missing a key card. Fortunately, he had also obtained some information about it, so I would repay him in return. It would be a way for me, as a "senior," to help him.

And now-

As a duelist, you must take your duels seriously!

"Activate the effect of Jurassic Stegosaurus. You can activate this effect during your Main Phase. Destroy 1 card you control, and send 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. After that, you can Special Summon Jurassic monsters from your hand or Deck, ignoring their Summoning conditions, until their total Levels equal the monster sent from their Deck to the Graveyard. This turn, you cannot Special Summon monsters that are not Dinosaur-Type!"

"Hey, that's a nice, winding effect."

"It doesn't sound very strong either."

Several employees of Haima Automobile Company were discussing in hushed tones.

Seto Kaiba's pupils suddenly contracted.

Such powerful effects!!

Even he was somewhat surprised at this moment.

Although his appearance is still third-rate, his inner self has changed drastically.
"I sent the Two-Headed Dinosaur King from my deck to the graveyard, and then... Special Summoned from my deck: Jurassic Megalosaurus, Jurassic Megalosaurus, Jurassic Allosaurus, and Jurassic Allosaurus, a total of four Level 1 Jurassic monsters!"

"What!?"

Four of them!!!??

"Come on, my dinosaurs!"

Amidst the raging flames, four little dinosaurs flew out of Dinosaur Ryuzaki's deck.

"They Special Summoned 4 monsters in one go!?"

"But these are four monsters, all of them are Level 1 monsters, right?"

"Wait, all four of these monsters are modified versions of the same creature!?"

What is this for!?

"I can only activate the effect of Jurassic Dragon during my Main Phase. I discard two cards from my hand that contain Jurassic cards. Then I draw two cards from my Deck. I send Jurassic Dinomon and Jurassic Titan from my hand to the Graveyard and draw two cards."

"Activate the effect of Jurassic Allosaurus, Tribute this card, and you can target 1 Level 4 or lower Jurassic monster in your Graveyard other than Allosaurus; Special Summon that monster."

I hereby Special Summon Jurassic Stegosaurus.

Use a Level 1 Jurassic Megalosaurus and a Level 4 Jurassic Stegosaurus on the field to adjust the star level!

A volcano erupted, and a swift dinosaur appeared on the field of Ryuzaki.

Jurassic Velociraptor, Level 5, Fire Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power: ? → 2200.
"A Synchro Summon!?"

"But its attack power is only 2200, which is alright—"

"Naive! Do you really think Synchro is just a summoning spell that conjures up a high-level monster?" Ryuzaki straightened his back slightly to make himself look less dejected. With just this one movement, he transformed from someone who looked listless into someone as sharp as a sword. "Activate the effect of the second Jurassic Allosaurus, release myself, and Special Summon Level 4, Jurassic Stegosaurus, from the Graveyard!"

"Eh!?"

"Jurassic Spinosaurus is a Level 1 Tuner monster—"

"We've got both non-adjustment and adjustment items together again?!"

With a pull of his hands, Ryuzaki stood up straight, his body ablaze with flames, making him look like a dinosaur standing upright.

"Use a Level 1 Jurassic Megalosaurus and a Level 5 Jurassic Velociraptor and Jurassic Stegosaurus to adjust the stars!"
Witness the earth-shattering power unleashed when dragons gather together!

Destroy the earth, burn the eight wastelands!
Synchro Summoning -

Level 10, Jurassic Meteorite Beast!!

Countless small dinosaurs flew out of the graveyard and then stacked together in the air like building blocks. In a short while, it looked as if a "sun" had appeared in the sky.

"Alarm, alarm!"

A warning bell rang out, and a group of researchers hurriedly began the pressure test. Dr. Budong remained calm and told them, "Don't rush, it's still within the pressure range. Mr. Dinosaur hasn't used his full strength."

This isn't even at full power yet!?

Didn't you see our test unit is about to explode?!

Jurassic Meteorite Beast, Level 10, Fire Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power 2800.
"Attack power of 2800 is alright."

"Ha, naive—the effect of Jurassic Meteor Beast: If this card is Synchro Summoned, activate this effect. Destroy all cards on the field! After that, you can Special Summon 1 Tuner from your Graveyard!"

"What!?"

"all------"

Before the staff could even finish speaking, a meteorite fell from the sky, like a world-destroying meteorite that wiped out an entire ecosystem. The burning fireball instantly incinerated the entire world.

When they came to their senses, only one Jurassic low-level monster remained on the field.

Jurassic Deinosaurus, Level 3, Dinosaur race, Attack power 1700.
"Activate the effect of the Hybrid Dinosaur of Phantom Creation in the Graveyard." Just as the staff were relieved that the Jurassic Dinosaur only had 1700 ATK, Dinosaur Ryuzaki continued his actions, "You can activate this effect by banishing any number of Dinosaur-Type monsters, including this card, from your Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck with the same Level as the number of monsters you hold and banish. Destroy the monsters Special Summoned by this effect during the End Phase."

I've excluded nine monsters in total: the Hybrid Dinosaur of Fantasy Creation, two Jurassic Megalosaurus, two Jurassic Allosaurus, a Jurassic Velociraptor, a Jurassic Titan, a Jurassic Stegosaurus, and the Two-Headed Dinosaur King.

"9...9!?"

Special Summon! Come—my soul!
Dragon King, Dinosaur King!

The two-headed dinosaur king flew out of the graveyard, and then its body began to expand and evolve, eventually transforming into a giant dinosaur with wings and spikes all over its body!
Dragon King Dinosaur King, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power 3200.
"Attack power... 3200!?"

"how come--"

"Clearly possessing the Synchro mode, yet choosing to dissonate and instead calling upon their ace!?"

Amidst gasps of alarm, Ryuzaki the dinosaur has already commanded his monsters to attack the robot.

Although they stopped using Synchro Monsters, as the attack landed, the researchers' and testers' complacent "highest crystals" short-circuited instantly, crackling with electricity, and clearly needed repair.

"This this--"

"How could this be? How could it be so simple?"

"This, this is the legendary duelist? So strong."

Dinosaur Ryuzaki put away the card with slight disappointment.

Although the opponent's monster looked strong, it was ultimately just machine-controlled, lacking any real connection or connection between souls, and thus couldn't ignite any passion in him.

"Hmph—" On the other side, Seto Kaiba looked at the result and snorted coldly, "Retesting. The KC Cup I'm going to hold doesn't need this kind of trash who can't even withstand an attack!"

Seto Kaiba wasn't surprised that the dinosaur Ryuzaki defeated the machine.

Those ordinary employees who think that dueling is such a simple matter are sorely mistaken.

If a true duelist can't even beat this inanimate object, then the dinosaur Ryuzaki should just go home and continue being a stray dog.

But it must be said that Ryuzaki the Dinosaur did bring him a pleasant surprise.

Not bad.

If that's the case, then he certainly deserves to be a KC Cup player.

but--

He looked at the machines.

Humph……

Although, as Dr. Fudo said, the venue here is more than capable of withstanding the aftermath of the match, he was quite satisfied with that, at least in that respect.

but.

This is not the outcome he needs.

The venue was indeed hot enough to withstand the heat of battle, but the testing machine was quite disappointing to him.

If it breaks down after exerting this much force, what can it test?
If all the performances are at this "almost," "good enough," or "barely good" level, how can anyone believe in his KC Cup? And how much maintenance does the KC Cup venue have to go through?!
"not enough!"

Seto Kaiba yelled at the company employees, "Are you already so smug about this?! Are you still the elite of the Kaiba Corporation that we're so proud of?!"
Half a year! !
I'm only giving you six months!

Six months from now, I want to see results from you that are better—no, ten times better, a hundred times better!!!

"Otherwise, the so-called multi-dimensional duel is nothing but empty talk!!"

"Yes!!! President Kaiba!!" A group of people who were busy saving the machine immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to him.

However, while the seahorse said this, it secretly postponed the time even further.

If creating a venue is this difficult, it will probably take even longer to completely transform "Children's City" into a shared battlefield for the world's best duelists without tearing the entire dimension apart.

But soon, his passion and fighting spirit were reignited.

Only in this way can duelists achieve their goals!
Only in this way can one be worthy of favor!
