Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

Guan Bai glanced at his hand and got a general idea of ​​the deck.

The deck that the system gave to Kanpaku can be described as a hodgepodge of decks from the first phase of the DT worldview.

When he first got the deck, Kanpaku only glanced at the deck construction and saw Allied Forces and Jurassic monsters.

The six cards I've drawn right now include both the Valley of the Mist and next-generation monsters.

This shows just how mixed this deck is.

It's practically the deck that comes with the Master Duel solo mode.

DT Season 1 was originally a deck from the same era as the 5DS anime, and some of its decks are still inferior to those in the anime.

Now that they're all mixed together, plus the trap cards with unclear meanings, it's hard to say how much fighting power they can still have.

But it's better than having no deck at all.

Kanpaku calmed himself down and summoned a monster from his hand to the field.

"I usually summon the Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist."

Next up is another monster in my hand.

"Then, I activate the effect of the Mist Vulture in my hand, returning the Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist on the field to my hand, and Special Summon this card."

"This card, Special Summoned by this effect, gains 1700 ATK!"

【Misty Bald Eagle】

【Effect】

[Birds and Beasts/Wind]

[Four-star] 1400/400→1700/400

"Finally, there's the effect of Thunderbird of the Valley of Mist: If this card returns to your hand from the field, it is Special Summoned."

"Because of this effect, this card cannot attack this turn after it is Special Summoned."

Two birds flew back and forth between the field and the hand, their blue wings and emerald green shadows appearing alternately, before finally landing together on the field.

Shunmu looked at Guan Bai's place and scoffed somewhat unhappily.

"There are even combos involving consecutive Special Summonings?"

Without making a fuss about his tone, Shunmu thought that the guys in the Satellite District were lucky if they could even summon monsters, let alone understand their effects.

Guan Bai ignored Shunmu's words and pointed at the assault rifle dog.

"Misty Vulture, attack the assault rifle dog!"

The deep blue-winged vulture leaped into the air, tracing an arc before piercing the assault rifle dog's body.

cracking sound——

[Yutaka Junki LP: 4000→3700]

The slight electric current made him frown.

Unexpectedly, the garbage from this satellite area caused the first injury.

"Don't get too cocky! Activate Assault Hound's effect. When it's destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon another Assault Hound from your Deck!"

A faint barking sound arose, and a second assault dog appeared on the field.

"How about that? This is the kind of powerful monster only the police can possess! You'd better be smart and surrender by pressing the duel disk!"

Guan Bai didn't give Shunmu any extra reaction when he saw Shunmu looking rather smug.

My turn is over.

"Tch, my turn."

After drawing the card, Shunmu sacrificed the Assault Gun Hound on the field, and the superior summoned the Handcuff Dragon.

【Handcuffed Dragon】

【Effect】

【Dragon/Phoenix】

[Five-star] 1800/1800

As the assault rifle dog gradually dissipated, a wyvern resembling handcuffs flew out from where it had disappeared.

"Give me a good look at this symbol of power!"

Shunmu shouted arrogantly, his face full of boastful smugness.

He immediately ordered a fierce attack.

"Handcuffed Dragon, destroy that ugly vulture!"

The handcuffs' two enormous pincers, one on the dragon's head and one on its tail, suddenly sprang out, firmly binding the blue vulture. With a sudden burst of strength, the terrifying sound of bones shattering reached Kanpaku's ears—the Mist Vulture had broken!

[Kanpaku LP: 4000 → 3900]

The 100 base damage was negligible; Guan Bai only felt a slight numbness in his body. However, Shunmu's loud laughter on the other side was particularly jarring, making Guan Bai feel uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, my round is over!"

It's Kanpaku's turn again.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kanpaku draws a card and activates a magic card without pausing.

"I reduce the cost of my activation by discarding the Guardian of the Valley of Mist from my hand, which reduces the level of the monsters in my hand by two stars."

"Therefore, I can directly summon the next-generation army!"

A dark green robot carrying a heavy iron cannon appeared from behind Kanpaku. The sound of its footsteps was so loud that it made the ground around it tremble.

Next-generation military

[Mechanical/Ground]

[Six-star → Four-star] 2300/1300

"There's even a high-level monster!"

Shigeru Junki couldn't help but sigh; he hadn't expected that the guys in this satellite district could get their hands on such a powerful monster.

In this place full of trash, finding low-star, low-attack cards is the norm!

It seems this unregistered person is a big fish with connections.

Thinking of this, Shunmu quietly put away his contemptuous attitude and became somewhat serious.

Guan Bai didn't care about his opponent's change in attitude, because he knew that no matter what, this guard had always regarded him as trash.

Since that's the case, let's teach him a lesson with a fight!

Guan Bai waved his right hand.

"Battle Phase! Next-generation army, the Thunderbirds of the Valley of Mist, launch a combined attack!"

Upon receiving the order, the next-generation army's shoulder-mounted cannons spewed flames, and missiles whistled as they exploded on the Handcuffed Dragon's head. Taking advantage of the sparks, the Thunderbird of the Valley of Dawn slammed into the belly of the Wood-like creature!

This was so bad that Shunmu almost threw up his dinner.

[Yutaka Junki LP: 3700→2100]

The guard knelt on the ground, retching painfully.

His judgment was indeed correct; this Guan Bai was no pushover! He was definitely a big fish!

He struggled to raise his hand and activated the Handcuffed Dragon's Deathrattle.

"The effect of the Handcuffed Dragon is to make it equipment for the next generation of armies, and then reduce its attack power by 1800!"

Next-generation military

[Four-star] 2300/1300→500/1300

Seeing his monster's attack power decrease, even though Kanpaku already knew about the effects of the Handcuffed Dragon, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

His deck has very low average card efficiency; it relies on its low attack power to survive!

He exhaled softly and placed the card into the Duel Disk.

"I set one card face down, end of turn."

The turn of the Imperial Advisor has ended.

Faced with the suspect's powerful offensive, Shunmu's fighting spirit was ignited.

Ushio-senpai, I am now going to summon that monster!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I send my Level 3, Level 3, and Level 4 monsters from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon a Dragon!"

"O living being, with a body pieced together, descend upon the world as a twisted, contradictory, alien dragon!"

As the three cards were sent to the graveyard, three segments emitting white light rose up and were pieced together in the air without any aesthetic appeal.

A hideous yet ferocious three-headed behemoth descended upon the world!

"This monster's ATK is equal to the level of the monster Special Summoned and sent to the Graveyard x300!"

Synthetic Dragon

【Effect】

【Dragon/Dark】

[Eight Stars] 3000/0

This is a monster that Kanpaku is very familiar with, but it is also the monster that Kanpaku least wants to see right now.

As the strongest monster in the first episode of 5DS, it has an attack power of up to 3,000 points, a power that no monster in the main story can match!

Kanpaku once mocked how useless this card was, but now it's pushing him to the brink of defeat!

Shunmu became excited and his expression turned fierce. He laughed wildly and commanded the giant dragon.

"Synthetic Dragon, tear that next-generation army apart! Clean up the combined attack!"

Kanpaku quickly pressed the button on the duel disk.

"Activate a Trap Card, Explode Armor! Activated only when your opponent declares an attack, this card targets the attacking monster and destroys your Composite Dragon!"

Shunmu smiled and waved away his card.

"Activate a counter trap, check, negate your trap card, and return it to the deck!"

"You can't escape!"

Just like the flag it represents, the Exploding Armor was thoroughly investigated and arrested, kicked back into Kanpaku's deck.

In the arena, the three heads of the synthetic dragon spewed out huge beams of bright white light, easily tearing apart the next-generation army of the Reaper!

[Kanpaku LP: 3900 → 1400]

And in this way, the second effect of the Handcuffed Dragon is activated!

"Hahaha, the second effect of Handcuff Dragon: if the monster equipped to it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, it can reappear on my field!"

As the next-generation army shattered, the Handcuffed Dragon absorbed nourishment from the machine and roared as it reappeared!

"Handcuffed Dragon, Thunderbird that destroyed the Valley of Dawn!"

"Handcuffs fired!"

Under the powerful onslaught of the Handcuffed Dragon, the last of Kanpaku's monsters was shattered and destroyed!
