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

Chapter 267 Speed ​​266 Pegasus Star Returns from the Ice Prison
The Ice Barrier Zero Dragon Trident Dragon has the same attack power as the Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon, both at 2700, but its level is eleven stars.

Because the conditions for its summoning are more demanding, its abilities are much stronger than those of the regular Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon. When Ice Barrier Zero Dragon Trident Dragon is successfully Synchro Summoned, it can banish up to three cards from the opponent's field from the Duel.

Furthermore, if this card, which was successfully Synchro Summoned, is destroyed by your opponent, you can Special Summon one Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon from your Extra Deck or Graveyard with 3300 ATK. If your opponent controls a face-up monster, you can even halve the ATK of that monster and negate its effects.

You Qing remembered the monster's ability because not long before he transmigrated, when he was playing cards with his best friend, that guy pulled a trick and played a card. It has to be said that the sudden appearance of such an unpopular monster was quite unexpected.

After solemnly accepting the ice barrier from the spirit master, You Qing thanked him several times and quickly began to consider the tactical significance of the ice barrier's Zero Dragon Trident Dragon in his mind.

Exclude monsters, plus negate monster effects and halve attack power...

This is practically a killer of earthbound gods!!

Even though the Earthbound God in the anime version can ignore the effects of the opponent's Spell & Trap Cards, it cannot resist the power of monsters.

It can be said that as long as You Qing can summon the Ice Barrier Zero Dragon Trident Dragon in the duel, he will be completely invincible!
However, Tian Guang Qingxue also made it very clear that in order to unlock this monster card, one must go to the Spirit Dimension through the Spirit Master of this Ice Barrier to unlock a portion of the sealed power of the Trident Dragon. This process is extremely dangerous and may very well cost one's life...

You Qing carefully put away the gift card from Tian Guang Qing Xue, said goodbye to the members of Ji Bing Liu, and rode his D-wheel towards the edge of the city.

Besides the urban area and the uninhabited area, the satellite zone also has an area called the Old Moment Zone, which is the epicenter of the major disaster that occurred nearly twenty years ago—the Zero Point Reversal Incident. It is also the territory where the Dark Signers gather.

Based on the information obtained from the monk, You Qing could deduce that Decade was definitely wandering in a remote and sparsely populated area. If he wasn't in the no-man's-land, then he must be in that severely damaged and dangerous area!

“Swish————————————————”

The whistling wind rushed past his ears. You Qing had already made all the necessary preparations in his mind, including the worst-case scenario: that Decade had become a Darkmarker...

Although he had successfully defeated Tis Creed and the Orca Earthbound God last time, he was unsure how strong the next Darkmarker would be.

Time is of the essence, and the risk of lifting the lockdown and losing all dragons is extremely high, so he cannot do such a thing immediately.

in case……

"If only the Phantom Wing Synchronous Dragon could advance to the next level..." You Qing thought to himself.

In the original work, the protagonist Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas obtained the Savior Dragon in the Dark Signers arc, and Stardust Dragon and Crimson Dragon also appeared in stronger forms as Savior Star Dragon and Savior Demon Dragon.

Theoretically speaking, the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon belongs to a Synchro Dragon from a different dimension. Moreover, even the Black Rose Dragon from the same dimension does not have a Savior Form, so it is highly unlikely that the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon will obtain a Savior Version.

So……

Its upgrade path is now singular: Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!!

However... in reality, it seems that Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon would require Acceleration Synchro to achieve this, which is still too early to say...

As he pondered this in his heart, You Qing had already traversed one abandoned no-man's-land after another. Just as Master Sengzheng had said, many underground duelists and gangs had become vassals of the Dark Markers.

Along the way, You Qing was stopped by no fewer than four or five Dark Markers. He managed to avoid most of them by relying on his speed, but he couldn't dodge one of them in time, so he had to settle the matter with a duel.

"boom------------------"

Amidst the explosion, an underground duelist collapsed heavily to the ground, his deck emanating a dark purple aura, while the spider mark on his arm rapidly faded...

"Tsk, what a hassle." You Qing frowned. "After each duel, these Dark Markers lose all their memories, making it impossible to extract anything from them..."

However, the duel eventually attracted people loitering nearby. As the dark purple flames gradually dissipated, a tall man strode out from the shadows of the abandoned building. He wore a duel disk on one hand and was dragging a wounded man with the other.

A grown man's weight would never be less than 100 pounds, yet that tall figure moved with the ease of dragging a sack full of plastic bottles. His gait was extremely elegant, and his composed demeanor was unlike any of the controlled Dark Markers You Qing had ever encountered!

You Qing's eyes flickered; he vaguely recognized the man's identity.

"That's... Pegasus Star?!" You Qing's eyes widened. "He's become a Dark Marker?!"

As a Dragon Marker, he could sense the aura of a Dark Marker on that person. The Dark Markers he had encountered before did not have their own consciousness, but this person could wield the power of darkness with ease. This meant that he was a chosen one and must possess the power of an Earthbound God!
Finally, the man emerged from the shadows, revealing an arrogant and sinister face, a flawlessly white complexion as if covered in foundation, and a tall and imposing aristocratic bearing… This was none other than the previous Duel King, Pegasus Star, whom You Qing had personally turned into an ice sculpture!

"Long time no see, Youqing~"

Tianma Xingdou smiled, revealing several dark purple marks on his face. His once azure eyes now shone with a chilling purple light. As he spoke, he tossed the person he was dragging forward like a sandbag.

You Qing's face immediately turned pale.

Because the person covered in wounds, arbitrarily disposed of by Pegasus Star, was none other than Decade!!
At this moment, he was covered in wounds and emaciated, looking like a homeless person who had suffered from hunger for many years. Most of the scars on his face had disappeared, but now they were gradually starting to erode, slowly turning him back into his original terrifying appearance...

“You Qing…” Decade lay on the ground, managing to utter a few words through his cracked lips.

In an instant, You Qing clenched his fist, his tense muscles causing the Duel Disk to make a slight "whooshing" sound.

"Pegasus Star, what...what have you done?!"
