Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"This is dangerous..."

The apprentices who were watching were still marveling at the power of the [Chimera Berserker], but they never expected that the previous master would activate [Limit Removal] and the [Chimera Berserker], whose attack power was doubled to a terrifying 4200 points, would be eliminated by the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] in the next second. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Because I just discarded a card that was sent to the graveyard, the effect of [Disruption Magic] allows me to add [Disruption Yellow], [Disruption Black], and [Disruption Green] from my deck to my hand when it is sent from the field or my hand to the graveyard."

Hayato's last card in his hand was "Disruption Magic," which has the effect of retrieving three cards from his deck after being sent to the graveyard. Although the three cards retrieved are all trash, they are perfect as the cost to activate the effect of "ABC-Dragon Annihilator."

"【Disruption】? I remember it's the deck that mainly uses disrupting the opponent's tactics, and all of its members seem to have 0 attack power. However, it's quite an idea to think of using monsters with no attack power to support your own deck."

Although [Chimera Rampaging Dragon] was excluded, the former instructor was momentarily shocked when he first heard about the effect of [ABC-Dragon Destroyer], but he quickly regained his composure and even calmly commented on Hayato's actions.

Judging from his expression, it seems he has other methods up his sleeve?

Hayato couldn't help but look at his hand. His opponent hadn't made a normal summon this turn and still had four cards in his hand. Theoretically, there was still a possibility of continuing to develop the game.

However, given that they had just adopted a desperate stance of using [Chimera Raging Dragon] to decide the outcome, did their opponent really have any cards left to use in the battle?

Hayato's answer was a series of three cards drawn from his hand by the previous master of the Cyberse School: two monster cards and a green spell card, [Fusion].

"I'll repeat myself again, 'Electronic Flow' has no limits, and the path of fusion evolution leads to an infinite future." The former master placed [Fusion] in the Spell & Trap Zone, raising his two monster cards high. "Young man, banishing just one monster won't stop me from winning this duel this turn!"

"Your [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] can only use its monster-banning effect once per turn, so how are you going to deal with this monster!"

"Activate the [Fusion] Spell Card. I use two [Cyber ​​Ogres] from my hand as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]!"

A vortex of [Fusion] appeared on the field of the former Master, swallowing the two [Cyber ​​Ogre] cards in his hand. The two black steel mechanical monsters merged and combined into a giant monster with a long tail and standing on one arm!

【Cyber ​​Cannibal 2】【7☆/Location】

[Mechanical Race/Fusion/Effect]

[2600/1900]

The Cyber ​​Ogre 2, whose arm alone was as thick as a man, stood before the former master of the Cyber ​​Stream. He proudly introduced, "Every apprentice of the Cyber ​​Stream who has reached the 'Profound Enlightenment' stage will receive the Cyber ​​Dragon, the symbolic card of the Cyber ​​Stream, as a symbol of inheritance."

"But don't think that 'Electron Flow' is only about [Electron Dragon]!"

"When the [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] is in battle, its attack power will increase by half the opponent's attack power. Even the [Five Divine Dragons] with an attack power of 5000 points can be surpassed by the [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]!"

The succession system used in "Electronic Flow" is the same as that in traditional Kendo. Kendo's succession system is divided into "Mona", "Okuru", "Kirishi", and "Mokuro", and "Electronic Flow" uses a similar system of "Mona", "Okuru", "Menko", and "Kaiden".

Among them, the beginner is "entry-level". After a certain amount of training, obtaining the [Electronic Dragon] is the proof of "entry-level". Then, the "permission" level means that you have basically mastered all the techniques of "Electronic Flow". The [Electronic Final Dragon] is the proof of "mastery" level, which means that you have thoroughly mastered "Electronic Flow".

During the Duel Kingdom era, Samejima was at the "Unlicensed" level. Although he possessed cards characteristic of "Cyber ​​Dragon" such as [Cyber ​​Dragon], he was unable to advance to "Master" due to the test of the previous master. He only advanced to "Master" after the Duel Kingdom tournament ended, and later became the current master of "Cyber ​​Dragon".

It's worth mentioning that Samejima Iemitsu, like the previous master of the Cyber ​​Style, seems to use the [Cyber ​​Ogre] card.

"What a troublesome effect. It's not an increase during attack, but during battle?" Hayato frowned.

As is well known, the K language is profound and complex; often, changing a single word or syllable can bring about huge changes. "When attacking," "when being attacked," and "when fighting" represent different meanings.

In the physical card game, the effect of [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] is to increase attack power when attacking, which means that it can only apply this effect when it actively attacks. It is not very powerful and can only be considered as having some offensive capabilities.

However, the Cyber ​​Ogre 2 used by the previous generation of Cyber ​​Stream Masters is clearly an anime version of the effect. Whether attacking or being attacked, in any battle involving Cyber ​​Ogre 2, it can directly increase the attack power of the other monster by half. Even when used for defense, it has a certain ability to stay on the field.

The best way to deal with such a monster is obviously to destroy or banish [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] directly through its effect. However, Hayato's [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] banishing card effect has a limit of once per turn, and it has just been used on [Chimera Rampaging Dragon].

Seeing Hayato's furrowed brows, the former instructor smiled: "Heh, you're still far from being able to defeat 'Cyber ​​Flow'. Although this is the first time I've seen that [ABC-Dragon Annihilator], its name is so similar to [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] that even without any evidence, my intuition tells me it must have a similar effect."

"And as expected, the effect of banishing cards by discarding cards once per turn, while not as powerful as the [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] which can be activated continuously as long as there are cards in hand, has the ability to be activated during the opponent's turn, which surprised even me."

"In the beginning, I could have summoned [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] and then used more fusion materials to fuse and summon the more powerful [Chimera Berserker]. However, out of caution, I summoned [Chimera Berserker] first and then [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]. It seems I'm still as sharp as ever."

Just as Hayato waited until the previous master of the Cyber ​​Stream had invested a certain amount of resources in [Chimera Berserker] before eliminating it, the previous master was also waiting for Hayato to show his counter-move before slowly releasing the ultimate move [Cyber ​​Ogre 2].

Although Hayato's [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] currently has 400 more attack power than [Cyber ​​Ogre 2], this slight difference will soon be overcome in the face of [Cyber ​​Ogre 2], which has the ability to boost its own attack power.

"Alright, now it's time for my battle phase. I'm going to use [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] to attack your [ABC-Dragon Annihilator]!" The former mastermind waved his arm, "Absorb the opponent's power and transform it into your divine might, [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]!"

"Super electromagnetic shock!"

Although it only has two excessively thick arms for movement, the speed at which the [Electronic Ogre 2] attacks is quite astonishing. As the [Electronic Ogre 2] approaches, the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] is about to launch an attack, but is surprised to find that a portion of its attack power has been stolen from it!

【ABC-Dragon Annihilator】【ATK3000】

【Electronic Cannibal 2】【ATK2600→4100】

Up and down reversed!

As the thick arm of [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] was about to grab the body of [ABC-Dragon Destroyer], Hayato had no doubt that its power could destroy [ABC-Dragon Destroyer]. Not wanting his monster to be destroyed like this, Hayato immediately ordered, "You forced me to do this. I didn't originally intend to use this move."

"Activate the second effect of [ABC-Dragon Annihilator]—"

"A second effect!?" The former instructor was somewhat surprised, because he never expected that [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] would have other abilities.

The summoning conditions are ridiculously simple. Although it is a Fusion Monster, it does not even need a Fusion Spell Card. It can be summoned simply by banishing three Fusion Materials from the field or Graveyard. It also has excellent stats of 3000 ATK and 2800 DEF, and even has the powerful effect of being able to use a banished card during the opponent's turn.

Now it can even have other effects? You wouldn't print fake cards like this.

The former teacher glanced at the last card in his hand, intending to first see what effect Hayato was going to use before deciding whether to activate it.

Is it an attack boost, or an ability similar to the first effect of banished cards? But even if it is, it doesn't matter. This card in my hand can protect my monster, but it will be harder to survive the next turn.

The former instructor recalled many powerful effects, and under his wary gaze, the body of [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] suddenly disintegrated!?

"Second effect: Shattered into pieces - Emergency escape!"

Hayato, hands on his hips, looked smug: "It would be such a waste if you destroyed the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] that I went through so much trouble to summon. I'd rather just dismantle them."

“During my opponent’s turn, [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] can actively Tribute itself, and then Special Summon my three banished LIGHT Machine-Type Union Monsters back to my field.” Hayato said, sending the card [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] to the Graveyard, and then pulling three previously banished cards from his pocket. “Come back, [A-Assault Core], [B-Destroyer Dragon], and [C-Crusher Winged Dragon]!”

【A-Assault Core】【DEF200】

【B-Destroyer Dragon】【DEF1800】

【C-Crushing Pterodactyl】【DEF2000】

Hayato felt a little disappointed looking at the three monsters in Defense Position in front of him. If his Field Jungle Card [Union Hanger] were still on the field, the Special Summon of the Union monsters could trigger the effect of a Field Spell Card, giving him an extra card advantage.

Unfortunately, it can't be replaced.

The former teacher's current feelings are hard to describe. He had just prepared himself to face some terrifying enemy, and then suddenly he was told that the other party had chosen to run away.

"The ability to release itself and then return the fusion material to the field? It's troublesome and disgusting, but because [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] disappeared from the field and triggered a battle rewind, my [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] can choose a new target."

The former instructor glanced at Hayato's highest-defense Pokémon, [C-Crusher], and waved his hand, ordering, "Attack one more time! [Cyber ​​Ogre 2], attack [C-Crusher], Electromagnetic Shock!"

The C-Crushing Wyvern in Defense Position had a defense of 2000, but it was powerless against the Cyber ​​Ogre 2, which had an attack of 2600 and increased to 3200 after absorbing the power of the C-Crushing Wyvern. It was instantly destroyed and sent to the graveyard, but because it was in Defense Position, it did not cause Hayato any damage.

Although [C-Crushing Wyvern] can be activated by sending it from the field to the Graveyard, allowing you to Special Summon a Union Monster from your hand, unfortunately, Hayato currently only has three weak cards in his hand and no Union Monsters that can be Special Summoned.

"Set one card face down, my turn ends." The only card on the field, [Cyber ​​Ogre 2], had already attacked. The former master glanced at the [Fusion Release] in his hand, but instead of activating it, he set it face down on the field.

Activating this card's effect now would only Special Summon two Cyber ​​Ogres from the Graveyard to the field and destroy the opponent's two Defense Position monsters, without dealing any battle damage to the opponent.

It's better to leave it for later and activate it depending on the situation, letting the [Cyber ​​Ogre 2], which is basically undestroyable by battle, take the field first. If the opponent activates an effect similar to the previous [ABC-Dragon Destroyer], you can use [Fusion Release] to avoid it.

“You’ve escaped this round,” the former instructor said, head held high. “But the next round will be your final struggle.”

[Previous generation instructor: 3000LP, 0 cards]

【Electronic Cannibal 2】【ATK2600】

[Future Fusion] [Given Card (Fusion Deactivation)]

Although the Cyber ​​Dragon, which was previously sent to the graveyard due to Future Fusion, became the fusion material for Chimera Rage Dragon, Future Fusion was already in effect after it was activated.

During the preparation phase of the next turn, the ultimate move of "Cyber ​​Flow" [Cyber ​​End Dragon] will descend upon the field. At that time, even if the monster is in Defense Position, it will not be able to protect the opponent's Life Points!

Chapter 474 No matter how good a card is, if you can't play it during your opponent's turn, it's useless—What?!

"My turn, draw a card."

Hayato glanced down to check the cards he had drawn this turn, but instead of activating them, he looked at [Cyber ​​Ogre 2].

"As expected of 'Cyber ​​Stream', it used fusion three times in one round to achieve a powerful suppression. An ordinary duelist probably wouldn't even last the first round."

Hayato's hand currently consists of three useless "Disruption" monsters besides the card he just drew. Summoning them to the field would be completely pointless. After all, Hayato's memory isn't so bad that he'd forget the "Future Fusion" his opponent activated last turn.

The opponent will summon the [Cyber ​​Terminator] with its armor penetration ability next round. Summoning a few weak minions with less than 1000 defense is just asking for trouble.

Besides these, there are Hayato's [A-Assault Core] and [B-Destroyer Dragon Beast] on the field.

In Hayato's previous life, [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] was listed as a limited card that could only be included in one deck due to its overly easy-to-use nature, which greatly limited its performance. However, it was still a very good add-on to other decks. But the current [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] is only appearing in this world for the first time in a duel with the former master of the Cybernetic style, so it is naturally impossible for it to be listed as a limited card.

Unfortunately, Hayato still didn't include more than two copies of [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] in his deck. The reason is simple: it's just too expensive.

The cards 【A】【B】【C】 were obtained by Hayato when he opened the support card pack for the 【Phantom Beast Race】, to which the 【Creator of Light】 belongs. The system's explanation is that "the 【Creator of Light】 can even create light, so how could the Phantom Beast Race be such an inconvenient thing?" In short, it is just talking nonsense by taking advantage of its supreme right of interpretation.

Since he had accidentally collected all of [A], [B], and [C], Hayato decided not to let them sit idle in the warehouse. Instead, he planned to go to the shop and exchange them directly for [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] and [AtoZ-Dragon Annihilator Cannon], which he might need.

'Red Daddy and the Lazybones can be redeemed with just 3 DP points. Although I currently have exactly 3 DP points, and I won't be able to afford the necessary support cards after changing the terminal, exchanging for two non-top-tier UR cards shouldn't be a problem.'

Hayato, thinking this, retrieved the target card from the shop. Three seconds later, his DP points balance dropped to an awkward 500 points, making Hayato wonder if the system had adjusted the card prices in real time to leave him with only 500 points.

In short, although Hayato does have [ABC-Dragon Destroyer], unfortunately, he only has the one that has already been sent to the Graveyard via Tribute. So even though he currently has all three Material Monsters on his field and in his Graveyard, he cannot summon [ABC-Dragon Destroyer] again until he retrieves it from the Graveyard.

"Looks like Annie's in trouble, huh?"

In Hayato's hand, [Disruption Yellow] crawled halfway out of the card, rested its arm on the edge of the card, and peeked out triumphantly, saying, "At a time like this, the only ones Annie can use are us, right?"

"Given Annie's strength, he must have just drawn a card that allows him to utilize our power."

"As expected, we are the trump card that Annie gave us."

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes? Command us, Ani-gei!"

[Disruption Green] and [Disruption Black] also emerged from their cards, putting their flattery skills to the test. At the same time, [Disruption Yellow] sent its two eyes toward the card Hayato had just drawn but hadn't had time to check, trying to see what card Hayato had drawn this turn.

Listening to the [Disruption] monsters' comments, Hayato smirked and glanced at the card he had just drawn: "Is that so? Then I'll use you to my heart's content. These are cards that can perfectly put you to use."

"Huh? What is it? What is it?"

"It must be [Fusion]! The three of us brothers can combine to defend against that [Cyber ​​Ogre 2]!"

[Disruption Green] and [Disruption Black] watched with anticipation as Hayato placed the card he had just drawn into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk.

The idea of ​​[Disruption Black] is not bad. The [Disruption King], formed by the fusion of three [Disruption] monsters, has a defense of up to 3000 points while its attack is 0, so it does have the ability to defend against [Cyber ​​Ogre 2] alone.

However, if it's the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] with an attack power of 4000, it will only be easily killed.

【Disruption Yellow】was very lively, clinging to Hayato's Duel Disk, looking at the spell card that was being activated face up, and at the same time hearing Hayato's voice: "Because I have more than two cards in my hand besides this one, I'm going to activate the spell card 【The Price of My Left Arm】!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing the word "cost" in the spell card's name, [Disruption Yellow] suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly read out the effect of [Cost of the Left Arm]: "If you have two or more cards in your hand besides this card, you can banish all of them to activate this effect. Add 1 spell card from your deck to your hand?!"

"Exclude us all!?"
