Chapter 419 Not a Monster, But Love

"I'll stack the level 5 [K9-66a Frost Fairy] with [Crystal Mechanism - Lemon Crystal Dragon Rescue]!"

The unnamed passerby clasped his hands together and spoke in a strong voice.

The two monsters transformed into two distinct streams of light and disappeared into the pitch-black universe unfolding beneath their feet.

"Super Summon!"

"Rank 5, [Infinite Start Great River Style Wind Strike Dragon]!"

"Boom!"

The arena floor shook violently as a massive mechanical beast burst from the ground, its tracks leaving deep furrows in the digital landscape.

"【Unlimited Start】?" Izuna was completely confused. "The K9 has this extra feature?"

Even Beck, sitting opposite him, showed some restraint in his smugness, his brows furrowing.

This is the first time the K9 water purifier has been publicly displayed.

"As expected, we have to switch to [Water Machine]..." Li Guanqi muttered softly, "But how is [Water Machine] going to survive this?"

He was equally puzzled.

The Special Summon effect of 【Crystal Machine - Lemon Crystal Saves the Dragon】 and the Graveyard effect of 【Three Crystals】 have Machine-Type Restriction; once activated, only Machine-Type monsters can be Special Summoned this turn.

【Astram, Knight of the Twin Sky】 is a Cyberse-type card, and 【The God of the Closed World】 is a Fiend-type card. I can't play these common general-purpose removal and all-resistance terminals. My hand is empty, and I don't have 【Turtle】.

How can the Mech race break through two all-resistance levels?

[Crystal Machine] transforms into [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite], which can be rolled into [Chimera Giant Dragon] by [The Advent], thus removing one card. However, [Cooperative Code Speaker] has full resistance and only has one turn left, so it can be removed in another way next turn. Li Guanqi pondered, stroking his chin, his mind sifting through many Machine-type cards, and for a moment, this was the only strategy he could think of.

"Remove one Xyz Material and activate the effect of [Great River Wind Dragon]." The nameless passerby ignored the crowd's astonishment and lightly swiped his hand across the Duel Disk in front of him.

One of the supermaterials of the [Great River Wind Strike Dragon] turned into a point of light and dissipated. A data interface popped up on its body, and a virtual card projection appeared in his hand.

"Add [Scrap Recycler] from the deck to your hand."

“Next, Normal Summon.” The nameless passerby slammed the card into the Duel Disk.

"Get on stage, [Scrap Metal Recycler]!"

On the ground, a pile of broken copper and scrap iron clattered together to form a clumsy, short humanoid robot.

Upon seeing the card, Beck's pupils contracted slightly: "Such powerful spirituality."

[Scrap metal recycler].

This card is so famous that everyone knows its effect: it can fill a deck with a Machine-type monster, making it the core of many Machine-type decks.

But what can be piled up to save it...?

"Activate the effect of [Scrap Metal Recycler]." The nameless passerby tapped the card image lightly with his fingertip. "Send a Machine-Type monster from the Deck to the Graveyard."

coming!

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Li Guanqi's gaze fell upon the nameless passerby's deck.

This step of building the grave will determine the course of the entire battle, and how to proceed under the restrictions of the Mech Race's self-restraint.

Beck's mind raced, searching through all the Mech-type card pools in the database, but there was nothing of great threat.

What does he want to do?
The nameless passerby smiled slightly, drew a card from the glowing deck, and sent it directly to the graveyard without even looking at it.

"The card I sent to the cemetery was—"

"【Crystal Mechanism - Smoky Tiger】".

The scrap metal recycler started his shovel, dug a hole, and buried the Smoky Tiger.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Beck visibly relaxed. "[Crystal Mechanism] is fine."

wrong!

Beck suddenly remembered that the materials for [Chimera Megasaur] were Cyber ​​Dragon monsters plus an Extra Zone monster, and there was no requirement that it be [Cyber ​​Dragon]!
Theoretically, you could use [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity] to devour his [Cyber ​​World Advent].

He wouldn't actually bring the [Chimera Giant Ship Dragon], would he?

Seriously? This is ridiculously powerful, with the extra [Crystal Machine] and [K9], and even [Chimera Dragon]? Just to unlock all resistances in an extra area?
"It's okay, it's okay," Baker kept reassuring himself.

Even if it really has [Chimera Giant Dragon], it can only solve one, and it will also lose the core three-color [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity].

"Exclude [Smoky Tiger] from the graveyard, effect activated." The nameless passerby couldn't hear the audience's inner speculations, only focusing on his actions, "Add [Crystal Machine Package] from the deck to the hand."

"Activate the Continuous Spell - Crystal Machine Package, add Crystal Machine Cluster from your Deck to your hand."

"A trap?" Baker chuckled. "Is that all there is to it?"

"Prestige skin, could it be stolen?"

Generally speaking, if a trap cannot be activated in the turn it is placed, and you take it and use it, it usually indicates a compromise and a decision to give up any action in that turn.

The nameless passerby simply smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said, "[Scrap Metal Recycler] Single-target Link, Link Summon."

"Link-1, [The Rider Driven by Machinery]".

"Send the [Bundle] on the field to the Graveyard, activate the effect of [Machine Driven Knight], and add one 'Machine Driven Night' from your Deck to your hand."

"Activate the perpetual magic, 'Mechanical Driven Night'."

"The monsters on the field are changed to Machine-Type. The opponent's Machine-Type monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF, while your own Machine-Type monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF."

“What a pity,” Baker chuckled. “The [Synchronized Code Speaker] and the [Cyber ​​Realm Adventist] are unaffected by each other’s effects!”

"The electronic world is the noblest race!"

The [Heart-Sharing Code Speaker] and the [Cyber ​​Realm Adventurer] simultaneously activated their light shields, refusing to become inferior mechanical beings.

"Refuse to merge? I really can't do anything with you." The nameless passerby said seriously, "Then I'll unleash [Great River Wind Dragon] and activate the effect of [Mechanical Driven Knight]."

Special Summon the [Scrap Metal Collector] from the Graveyard!

Bang bang bang! The scrap metal recycling machine is back in high spirits, carrying its shovel.

"Activate the effect of [Scrap Metal Collector] to send [Crystal Machine - Lemon Dragon] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"Discard the card [Crystal Machine Cluster] from your hand, activate the effect of [Lemon Crystal Dragon] in your Graveyard, Special Summon this card, and then destroy [Lemon Crystal Dragon].

"If [Lemon Crystal Dragon] is destroyed, its effect will activate."

"Special Summon from the Deck—"

The voice of an unknown passerby echoed across the battlefield, every word crystal clear.

"Adjust the monster, [Crystal Machine - Tri-Tone Crystal]!"

A glimmer of light flashed, and a delicate creation, the size of a child and made of countless crystals, appeared on the scene.

So far, everything is normal, and the [Crystal Mechanism] is progressing as planned.

but--

Li Guanqi looked at the monster on the field, then glanced at the nameless passerby out of the corner of his eye. Looking at that smile, he didn't understand.

What kind of card gives you that confidence?

Does this mean that Biantana also has 'DIY' cards?

“A pointless struggle,” Beck sneered. “The limits of the Crystal Machine are what they are.”

"That's not necessarily true." The nameless passerby smiled faintly and reached for the extra deck.

A card popped out automatically and landed in his hand.

The instant the finger touched the card, a miniature red halo suddenly appeared and spun around the card.

The sneer on Baker's face froze instantly.

Inside the Empty Skeleton Laboratory, Fujiki Ai stared intently at the screen, her tone unusually urgent: "Activate the highest level of defense."

The researchers were stunned for a moment, then saw the red halo. Their faces drained of color, and their fingers began to tap rapidly on the control panel.

"Quick! Quick!"

On the other side, Ella had also realized what was happening. Her fingers flew across the virtual keyboard so fast they left afterimages. In her haste, she didn't even consult the genius before activating the highest level of defense protocol.

"Wh...what's wrong?" Tang Xin looked bewildered, not understanding why Ella was suddenly so anxious.

Izuna, who had seen it all, now spoke with barely suppressed panic, shouting into the digital world through the communicator: "Li Guanqi! Get away from that person! Quickly!"

At the same time, around the battlefield of the agreement, and on Li Guanqi and Baker, layer upon layer of translucent energy shields rose and thickened, emitting a low buzzing sound.

Izuna's urgent warning echoed in his ears, but Li Guanqi did not move.

He simply stood there, his gaze passing over the layers of shields, looking directly at the card in the nameless passerby's hand, which was enveloped in a red halo.

There's a sense of familiarity.

"I will set connection markers for [Mechanically Driven Knight] and [Three Jade Crystals]!"

An unnamed passerby raised his hand, and his voice resounded throughout the entire area.

A square light screen descended from the sky, and the two monsters transformed into two streams of light, flying into the arrows above the light screen from the left and right.

"When millennia of wisdom converge, new bonds will illuminate the future!"

He held the card high in his hand: "Guide the circuit of brilliance!"

"Connect Summon!"

He slammed the card down hard on the duel disk!

"Show yourself, Link-2!"

"【Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass】!"

"Boom—" A red halo spread out in the sky, and the scorching heat subsided.

The battlefield of the protocol trembled violently, the ground cracked, the data stream in the sky became chaotic like snowflakes, and a data storm swept across the entire field. The world was being forcibly squeezed in by an existence that could not be contained or analyzed.

Li Guanqi looked at the nameless passerby gazing at the eye of the storm.

The strong sense of déjà vu reminded him of that—

That orange cat that only knows how to play cards.

During the "Strive for Perfect Victory" event, I was matched with a cat as my teammate in my first doubles match.

Back then, that cat, or rather the woman in black robes behind the cat, also summoned a powerful [Inherited Fiberglass], but it was nowhere near as strong as it is now.

It wasn't just a flash; it was a real, genuine red halo!

After a few breaths, the violent tremors gradually subsided. Elvira and the Dream Collapse Realm had seen many great events before and reacted quickly, preventing the protocol space from cracking.

"Thankfully, it's a derivative type," a researcher in the Empty Skeleton Laboratory said with relief.

The red aura has three types: Annihilation, War God, and Derivative. In terms of destructive power alone, the Annihilation type is the strongest. [Hellfire Machine Tiera] can set duelists on fire just by appearing on screen.

The War God series [True Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon] may not have the burst damage of [Hellfire Machine - Tiera], but it has the advantage of resistance and countermeasures, allowing it to fight continuously.

The derivative system is the most docile and generally does not cause injury or death.

But it was enough to make Beck break out in a cold sweat and stare blankly: "Derivative Earth Rumble"

This system symbolizes infinite possibilities.

"Activate the [Inherited Fiberglass] effect!" the nameless passerby shouted.

Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Tuner monster from your hand or Deck in Defense Position.

On the field, [Inherited Fiberglass] slowly raised both hands, the movement elegant and sacred.

Behind it, space distorted, and countless illusory afterimages of the Kaling surged forth like a tide, flashing by in an instant.

[Banshee of Flowers], [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon], [Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon], [Access Code Talker]...

Beck stared at the dense, endless shadows, his breath catching in his throat.

What he saw was not a card, but a distant, grand era.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his body, composed of data, felt a chill.

Derivative systems...infinite possibilities...

"What...do you want to summon..." Beck's voice was dry and trembling. Fear stems from the unknown, and [Inherited Fiberglass] is the greatest unknown.

The nameless passerby smiled as he reached out and gently picked up a tiny speck of light from the torrent of light.

"I'm summoning this monster!" He hurled the dot of light at the duel disk.

"Come out!"

"【Scrap Goblin】!"

"Clang... Clang..."

With a clatter of scrap metal hitting the ground, a pile of rusty parts and scrap iron rolled a few times on the ground and then clattered together on its own.

A short, metal goblin covered in scrap metal and clutching a drill appeared on the field.

It blinked blankly, looking at the imposing [Heart-to-Heart Code Speaker] on the left with all resistances, and then at the [Electronic World Arriver] on the right, which also had all resistances and reigned supreme.

Finally, it looked up at the [Inherited Fiberglass], which was suspended in the air and still had thousands of illusory images of card spirits behind it.

A strangely human-like look of utter despair appeared on the goblin's metallic face.

It opened its mouth and let out a long, heavy sigh, a murky breath with a rusty taste.

"..." The entire room fell silent.

Izuna, standing outside the arena, stared wide-eyed, unable to close his mouth for a long time: "Scrap metal... goblin?"

Baker stood there, stunned, his mind blank.

The feeling was like being on high alert, preparing for a planetary impact that could destroy the world, only to have a small pebble fall from the sky instead.

The huge psychological gap left him momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"Such strong spirituality!" Tang Xin discovered the blind spot. "Does this [Scrap Metal Goblin] have a story behind it?"

"An ordinary card forgotten in a corner," Ella exclaimed in surprise, "possesses such a high level of spirituality."

"【Scrap Goblin】?" Ignoring spirituality, Li Guanqi focused only on the card's effect, his brain racing, and suddenly he raised an eyebrow in realization.

Could it be that he also brought that card?

Do people who reach the top in the world still carry such an old card?

"I will set connection markers for the two entities, [Inherited Fiberglass] and [Scrap Metal Recycler]," the anonymous passerby continued.

"Connect Summon!"

"Link-2, [Scrap Metal Pterodactyl]!"

With this card in hand, Li Guanqi finally felt relieved.

Baker was still in a state of shock and hadn't realized what was happening yet.

"Activate the effect of [Scrap Wyvern]." The nameless passerby raised his hand and said, "Target [Scrap Recycler] in the Graveyard, Special Summon that monster, and then destroy one of your cards."

"Come back, [Scrap Metal Recycler]!"

With a series of clattering sounds, the [Scrap Metal Recycler] emerged from the ground, entrenching his shovel and glaring at the ground.

"After that, destroy the [Scrap Goblin]."

The Scrap Pterosaur unleashed a scorching breath, but the Scrap Goblin, used to it, gave up and resigned itself to its fate.

It knew very well that the cemetery was its home.

Oh wait, a cemetery isn't a home either.

"If a 'Scrap Metal' monster on the field is destroyed by a card effect, activate the effect of 'Scrap Metal Wyvern'," the nameless passerby said. "Special Summon 1 'Scrap Metal' monster from your Deck. Then, destroy 1 card on the field."

【Scrap Metal Recycler】is an ancient 'time' effect, which was successfully blocked, so it cannot be chained or placed in C1.

"Special Summon [Scrap Stone Golem], then destroy [Fireproof Dragon Singularity]!" He pointed forward.

The Scrap Wyvern unleashed another scorching breath, melting the Fireproof Wyvern Singularity.

The demise of a powerful terminal didn't bother Beck at all; he was now staring at the [Scrap Iron Stone Man], unable to breathe for a long time.

"【Scrap Metal Stone Man】...Could it be..."

The seasoned Scrap Goblin knew what was going to happen long ago; the foolish humans are only now realizing it.

"Activate the effect of [Scrap Stone Golem]," the nameless passerby said in a deep voice. "Once per turn, you can target 1 Level 4 or lower 'Scrap' monster in your Graveyard."

Special Summon to your or your opponent's field.

Baker stopped breathing.

“This card—” the nameless passerby shouted, holding the card high.

I want to go to your place!

A brown light screen lit up the field of Baker, summoning the weak, helpless, and lifeless [Scrap Goblin] to his field.

Attack! Show!
Attack: 0
At this point, everyone realized what had happened.

In the first KC Cup in Biantana, at the Gold rank, Teacher Shang Yu stood with a Ground Dragon Star Armored Crow, becoming the first victim of this forbidden move.

The internet still leaves behind a few small memories.

"Damn it!" Baker roared at the nameless passerby, "Take your monster away!"

"No, no, no," the nameless passerby interrupted, waving his hand. "This is not a monster."

His expression was so serious that Baker stopped roaring for a moment, waiting for the second half of his sentence.

What else could it be but a monster?
"It's love!" the nameless passerby shouted in a powerful voice.

Li Guanqi: “.”

Baker: "I love you *** (electronics slang)!"

The nameless passerby did not respond to him again and continued to perform the operation: "Except for the [package] in the graveyard, the effect is activated."

Special Summon the [Three Crystals] from the Graveyard.

"Level 2 [Three Jade Crystals], Level 5 [Scrap Stone] Star Adjustment!"

"The mechanical weapon that fell into the deep sea, merged with the crystal life, and now reveals a brand new form!"

"Synchronic Summon!"

"Descend, Level 7! [Crystal Mechanism - Holy Celestial Crystal]!"

As the light faded, a mechanical warrior composed of countless crystal facets appeared, assuming a fighting stance.

"Activate the effect of [Holy Celestial Crystal]." The nameless passerby waved his arm, "Add the Trap Card [Crystal Machine Cluster] from the Graveyard to your hand."

A card popped out of the graveyard and landed in his hand.

"Next, activate the effect of the [Three Jewel Crystals] in the excluding graveyard."

"Destroy the [Crystal Mechanism - Holy Celestial Crystal]!"

The magnificent crystal body of the [Holy Heavenly Crystal] exploded in response, shattering into countless sparkling fragments.

"Special Summon: [Crystal Machine - Lemon Dragon], [Crystal Machine - Lemon Dragon Savior]!"

As soon as the two monsters landed, the nameless passerby immediately followed up with the command: "If the Synchro Summoned [Holy Celestial Crystal] is destroyed by battle or effect."

You may Special Summon 1 "Crystal Machine" monster that is banished from your Graveyard.

Upon seeing this, Baker's pupils suddenly contracted.

Cemetery...except for...

That monster is there!

"The fate of parts is not scrap metal." The nameless passerby slowly pointed to the ground, and a blue light shone.

"It's the original formation!"

"Come back! [Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass]!"

The shattered crystal fragments did not fall; instead, they swirled back in mid-air, coalescing into a spacetime vortex.

The red halo that made the protocol space tremble once again reappeared at the center of the vortex.

【Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass】Returns to the battlefield.

Baker opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. For the first time, his body, made of data, felt an emotion called "coldness."

"Let's fight!" the nameless passerby shouted.

At a command, [Scrap Metal Wyvern], [Scrap Metal Recycler], [Lemon Crystal Dragon], [Lemon Crystal Savior], and [Inherited Fiberglass] all entered battle mode.

With the blessing of [Mechanical Driven Night], all attack power increases by 500 points.

The five of them, in perfect unison, slowly turned their heads, glancing past the two burly men, [The Heart-to-Heart Code Speaker] and [The Electronic World Arriver], and looked at the weak and helpless [Scrap Goblin] in the corner.

The Scrap Goblin just stared intently at the nameless passerby, its expression probably saying, "Duelist, I don't ask you to make me appear every time. I'm not a devil."

"But what's wrong with you now? You throw me out every time, three hits, five hits, and then another five hits."

"If this continues, I'm going to..."

"【Scrap Wyvern】, attack 【Scrap Goblin】!" The nameless passerby fixed his gaze and waved his hand forward.

The Scrap Wyvern spewed out a heat breath that engulfed the Scrap Goblin. The Scrap Goblin was too weak, and the heat breath passed right through him, heading straight for the Duelist Beck behind him.

Baker let out a muffled groan, and his base score plummeted.

But the attacks didn't stop.

Damn it, the [Scrap Goblin] can't be destroyed in battle.

"【Crystal Dragon】, attack 【Scrap Goblin】!"

"【Lemon Crystal Saves the Dragon】, attack 【Scrap Metal Goblin】!"

The two crystal monsters launched an attack, passing directly through the [Scrap Goblin] and striking Beck.

Two loud bangs.

Baker's basic score: 8000 → 900
"It's over." The nameless passerby said in a low voice, pointing forward.

"【Crystal Mechanism - Inherited Fiberglass】, attack 【Scrap Goblin】!"

The final command was given.

【Inherited from fiberglass】With gracefully raised hands, a crystal-clear hexagonal ice crystal quietly condenses.

On the other side, the [Scrap Goblin], the target of the attack, was completely paralyzed.

It made a creaking sound as if its parts were rubbing together, like a sigh, and then it swayed its limbs and lay down on its back.

Forget it, let's just destroy it, hurry up and do it.

The next second, countless ice crystals transformed into a streak of light and shot out, swiftly piercing through the frail body of the [Scrap Goblin].

The Scrap Goblin was unharmed and even swayed a bit, feeling a little cool.

The icy light streaked towards the duelist behind it.

“【The Arrival】, why are you just watching…” Beck murmured absentmindedly as he stared at the approaching ice crystals, until he was swallowed up.

"Ugh—!" A suppressed groan of pain came from the light, and the body made of Beck data flickered violently, with tiny specks of light scattering from its edges.

The arrogance and pride in his eyes had vanished, leaving only emptiness and bewilderment.

Then, amidst the soft chanting of code words, he collapsed heavily.

Baker's base score: 900 → 0
【The winner is】

【Red Square】

【Duel ends】

The intelligent referee announces the results.

“I won.” The nameless passerby mimicked Jaden Yuki, making a gesture. “It was a very enjoyable duel.”

"We won!!!" Ella jumped up first, clenching her fist and cheering, losing the composure that a researcher should have.
