Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 244 Speed ​​243 Dismantling the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon! Yusei Fudo's Countermeasures!
"My turn! Draw a card!!" You Qing shouted, "Activate the High-Speed ​​Spell Card—SP Downgrade!!"

"Remove the six-point SPC!!"

Draw two cards from your deck!

"Activate the effect of Crystal Machine - Lemon Crystal Dragon from your hand. If this card is in your hand or Graveyard, discard one Crystal Machine Card from your hand other than Crystal Machine - Lemon Crystal Dragon, and Special Summon this card to the field in Defense Position!!"

"After that, destroy a card on your field!!"

"I choose to destroy Crystal Machine: Lemon Dragon myself!!"

"Activate the second effect of Crystal Machine - Lemon Crystal Dragon: If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, Special Summon 1 Crystal Machine monster from your Deck in Defense Position!!"

"Come on!! Crystal Machine - Smoky Tiger!!!"

“Bang——————————————————”

The magnificent lemon-yellow crystal dragon burst forth with intense light, shattering itself into dust. Countless crystal fragments flew in all directions, and amidst the dazzling light, a radiant crystal tiger appeared, standing defensively in front of You Qing.

[Crystal Mechanism - Smoky Quartz Tiger]

【Samsung】

【Water attribute/Mechanical type】

[Attack/Defense: 1000/1800]

“Swish——————————————”

You Qing waved his hand and shouted, "Summon in Defense Position—Scrap Worm!!"

"The Level 2 Tuner monster Scrap Worm and the Level 3 Crystal Machine Smoky Tiger!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Lv5!! Crystal Mechanism - Matrix Amethyst!!!"

【Crystal Mechanism Matrix Ametrine】

【Five stars】

【Water attribute/Mechanical type】

[Attack/Defense: 2500/1500]

This monster has a summoning effect: when Synchro Summoned, it can change all face-up monsters Special Summoned by your opponent to Defense Position.

However, You Qing did not choose to activate this ability because he had another purpose in summoning Crystal Mechanism Matrix Amethyst.

Currently, Yusei Fudo has two back cards, one of which is a powerful trap card that can block one attack – Scrap Scarecrow.

Although he currently has two monsters with 2500 ATK, he needs to launch a third attack to end the duel this turn. Therefore, Yu Qing's plan is to use Crystal Machine Matrix Amethyst and Stardust Dragon to destroy each other, and then use Crystal Machine Matrix Amethyst's ability to Special Summon a Crystal Machine monster from the Graveyard after it is destroyed to launch a third attack, thus ending the duel!
Of course, this idea might be somewhat idealistic, because Yusei Fudo only needs to use the Scrap Scarecrow to block the attack of Crystal Mechanism: Matrix Amethyst to neutralize Yuqing's tactics. However, Yuqing has already laid a backup plan, and he is ready to adapt to any situation!

More importantly, the other face-down card of Yusei Fudo is still unknown. Considering all factors, among the few Level 5 Synchro Monsters in the Extra Deck, this card, Crystal Machine Matrix Amethyst, is the most suitable.

A dazzling light shone on Yuqing's field as this Crystal Machine Synchro Monster gave up activating its ability.

However, at that moment, Yusei Fudo suddenly flipped open the cover and, speeding along on his D-Wheel, shouted:
"A special summon of the Chain Crystal Mechanism: Matrix Amethyst!!"

"Activate a Trap Card—a gamble of one against eight!!"

"You can only activate this when your Life Points are lower than your opponent's. The top card of your deck is revealed to both players!!"

"If it's a Level 1 or Level 8 monster, you can add that monster to your hand or Special Summon it!!" "But if it's not, your opponent can activate one of the following two effects!!"

"Increase the controller's life points for this card to one thousand!!"

"Or, judging from the controller of this card, the opponent's base score becomes eight thousand!!!"

When this card appeared, You Qing was taken aback for a moment.

Within the vast and mysterious space of the starry sky, the consciousnesses of Jack Atlas and his companions flew high above. They were all somewhat astonished when they saw Fudo Yusei activate this strange trap card.

“What…” Jack Atlas frowned. “What exactly is Yusei trying to do?”

Izayoi Aki and Ryuko, who were not far away, were equally surprised.

The trap card has been successfully activated. Next, Yusei Fudo will reveal the top card of the deck and resolve the subsequent effects based on the type of that card.

Since watching Yuqing's duel, Fudo Yusei has also developed the habit of preparing backup decks. In order to defeat Yuqing's Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon, he specially prepared a set of tactics.

Currently, all other components of this tactic have been assembled, with only the most crucial card remaining. If he can draw that card, he can destroy the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon, thereby withstanding Yuqing's attack and achieving final "victory".

"Lallie, everyone..."

"I must..."

"I will definitely save you!!"

Fudo Yusei pinned all his hopes on this card. He shouted and concentrated all his power on the card at the top of the deck!

"Appear!!"

"My cards!!!"

“Pah——————————————————”

When the card was revealed, Jack Atlas and the others, as well as You Qing, were all shocked. But the main reason wasn't because it was a Level 1 monster that allowed the Trap Card to activate successfully, but because it was a very old monster card!

Its era can even be traced back to the Dueling Kingdom period during Yugi Muto's time!
[The Imitator of Fantasy]

【one star】

[Light Attribute/Magician Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"Yusei!! This is the card I specially prepared for the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!" Fudo Yusei's eyes reflected the starlight as he shouted, "Because of its gamble-of-one-or-eight effect, I can choose to add it to my hand or Special Summon it!!"

"Make your appearance!! The Imitation Dreamer!!"

"At the same time, when this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls to activate this effect!!"

"Change this card's ATK and DEF to the same level as the selected monster's original ATK and DEF!!"

"Go!! Replicate the power of Crystal Mechanism - Matrix Amethyst!!!"

A surge of shimmering mirror power erupted, and this eerie, ancient monster held a magic mirror. A flash appeared on the mirror's surface, and the figure of Crystal Mechanism Matrix Amethyst emerged from it!
You Qing immediately realized the purpose of Bu Dong Youxing.

The highest attack power of any monster on the field right now is 2500!

If the effect of the Mimicry Dreamer is successfully activated, Yuqing will face both the Mimicry Dreamer and Stardust Dragon, each with an attack power of 2500. With Fudo Yusei also having a Scrap Scarecrow, he simply cannot break through the defense!
"Activate the effect of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!" Yu Qing decisively activated his ace monster's ability, "Neglect and destroy the effect of the Mimicry Dreamer!!!"
