Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 399 A Future Different from Synchronization
「Bull-headed Demon (lv4)」

"atk/1700"

The earth shattered.

As the monster continued to swing its heavy hammer and bombard the seemingly solid ground, it finally shattered in a conceptual sense.

On the desolate ground, a grave stands silently:
"Based on the effect of 'Bullhead Demon,' I send the Zombie-Type monster 'Horsehead Demon' from my Deck to the Graveyard, then banish 'Horsehead Demon' from the Graveyard and Special Summon 'Giant Skeleton Dragon - Shining,' which is also a Zombie-Type monster."

"Giant Skeleton Dragon - Shine (lv8)"

"atk/2800"

"Now, the monsters on my field have a total attack power of 4500, so I will proceed directly into the battle phase."

Upon hearing the command, the dragon opened its purplish-red, decaying eyes, while the minotaur raised its heavy hammer, its nostrils emitting excited hot breath.

Perhaps even "Bullhead Demon" himself never imagined that he would one day be able to go into battle and beat people up!
However, Paradox will not give that opportunity.

"It won't be that simple. Open the face-down card, activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Sin Cross', and Special Summon 'Sin Cyber ​​End Dragon' from the Graveyard while it's negated by card effects and unable to attack."

Dark energy surged, and the three-headed mechanical dragon, which had been prematurely unleashed, once again let out that mournful howl.

"Sin - Electronic Terminator Dragon"

"atk/4000"

This is precisely where the original version of the "Sin" deck's advantage lies.

In the anime, Mr. Paradox started with a whopping 4,000 attack power and unleashed a massive monster, managing to assemble a final lineup that gave the three Duel Kings a hard time in a short period of time.

While the main reason is that Pharaoh and Mr. Judai have thoroughly figured things out, some low-attack players really have no way to deal with these things.

"Then, I'll end the Battle Phase here, and then activate the effect of 'Crazy Killer Clown' in my Graveyard to lower the Level of 'Giant Skeleton Dragon' on the field by two stars, allowing it to be Special Summoned."

"Giant Skeleton Dragon (lv8→lv6)"

"Crazy Killer Clown (lv2)"

"atk/400"

"Then, I Synchro Summoned the level 2 'Crazy Killer Clown' and the level 4 'Minotaur', and Synchro Summoned the level 6 'Immortal Dragon' from my Extra Deck."

"It's the remains of the 'Coral Dragon'..."

"It is said that in the depths of the sea during the Age of Dragons, there existed 'Children of Dragons,' who, upon growing up, became 'Coral Dragons,' harmonizing all things in the ocean... But in any case, the so-called Age of Dragons is a distant past, and even the most powerful beings are nothing more than forgotten corpses."

"Immortal Dragon (lv6)"

"atk/500"

"So, are you trying to use your superior attitude to persuade us 'mortals' to give up and become part of the 'forgotten' world?"

"No, I never said that. I should say that I am not qualified to judge your efforts."

Yu Ming glanced at the husk of the "Immortal Dragon" and narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, countless words seem to flash through my mind, but...

"From the audience's perspective, I would definitely prefer to see a more pleasant story."

"what?"

"I activate the effect of 'Immortal Dragon' to send the level 2 Zombie monster 'Bone Boar' from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then set its new Level based on the difference between its Level and the Graveyard's Level."

"Immortal Dragon (lv6→lv4)"

"Level 4..."

"And it is a Tuner monster itself, the only problem is... I don't know how to accelerate Synchro."

Yu Ming shrugged, but Paradox didn't dare take it seriously at all.

Ultimately, it was a high-level monster!

“lv10…”

‘Zi La’

Sparks flew from the mechanical thought process, reflecting the power known as 'death'.

"I leveled up my level 4 'Immortal Dragon' and level 6 'Giant Skeleton Dragon' to Synchro Summon this guy from my Extra Deck."

'boom'

Like the sound of a heavy hammer striking, Paradox felt as if he could clearly hear his own heavy heartbeat.

Even though he was just a robot, his biological instincts were clearly reflected in his thought processes. That was resistance.

Completely different from mere corpses, these are 'life's' wandering in the world of death.

It is called:

"Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon Emperor" —

As if an almost identical light was burning in its eyes, the immortal dragon appeared.

"Red-Eyes Undead Dragon King (lv10)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Immortal"

"atk/2800 def/2400"

To be honest, its attack power isn't that high.

But both its scarred body and its menacing crimson single eye exuded a terrifying aura.

"Then, I set two cards face down in the back row, and that's the end of the turn."

The liquid, pale flames then spread beneath the earth.

Paradox could see that the suspended azure fire dragon had merged with the dark vortex trap.

He had no doubt that, with the graveyard becoming increasingly abundant, the dragon could exert the power to turn the tide of battle.

but……

"It's not over yet. I've learned how to save the world from 'that place,' so I'm not going to stop here no matter what!"

‘Zi La’

That was perhaps the mournful cry emanating from Paradox's body, or the sound of the monster on the field collapsing.

"Based on the effect of 'Sin-Cross,' Special Summoned monsters will be destroyed at the end of the turn (original effect), and the Field Spell 'Sin-World' will activate its effect at the start of my turn."

With a wave of his hand, Paradox caused the seemingly colorful but actually fragile world to distort like a scene from a movie.

Then, the image of a giant dragon was reflected in it:
"Due to the effect of a Field Spell, as an alternative to drawing a card, I can add one 'Sin' monster from my deck to my hand."

'Click'

With a mechanical whirring sound, the card came into his palm:

"Then, I activated the Spell Card 'Sin-Select,' banishing 'Sin-Cross' and 'Sin-Cyber ​​End Dragon' from my Graveyard, and adding 'Sin' cards with names different from the two banished cards to my hand—and then I summoned 'Sin-Paradox Gear' from my hand!"

"Sin - Paradoxical Gear (lv1)"

"atk/0"

"Then, at this very moment, I activate the Continuous Trap - Cry of the Dead, Special Summoning 'Giant Beast' from the Graveyard once more."

Before the gears could even turn, the hideous figure crawled out of the earth once more:

"Giant Bone Dragon - Shining"

"atk/2800"

"Then, if the Special Summon is successful, banish 'Paradox Gear' from your field."

'zizi'

In the decaying breath, the mechanical gears completely rotted and dissolved.

But upon witnessing this scene, Paradox simply covered his head:

"As expected, you anticipated the power of all decks and all players, so you knew how my 'Sin' would unfold."

"I can Special Summon 'Parallel Gear' by Tributing 'Parallel Gear' and then gain 8 Stars... Anyway, this one card is enough to summon your ace monster... in Synchro form."

“That’s right, Synchro… In fact, as a person from the future, my ace monster and my scientific research theory are naturally related to Synchro, but now there has been a turning point.”

"what?"

“Didn’t I tell you, Savior, that I have discovered a path… The core has shown me a new path.”

As he said this, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes:
"A path other than 'Synchronization'!"
