Duels should be played with a smile.

Nothing can be done.

"Alright, please begin your turn. By the way, just a friendly reminder: when you activate an effect, the invincible Super Magician can discard a card to negate that activation, and this will also increase the Super Magician's attack power by a full thousand points!"

Mr. Phantom Thief is now extremely pleased with himself for repeating exactly what Jaden had said before.

As expected, duels are all about having fun!

Especially when you turn someone else's monster into your own, the feeling is just like drinking very strong liquor!

"My turn, main phase."

Unmoved by Mr. Phantom Thief's taunts, Fudo Yusei gathered his thoughts, rubbed the cards together, thought for a moment, and then placed his hand on the face-down cards on the field.

"Discard one card from your hand to activate this Quick-Play Spell Card [Super Polymerization], which is face-down."

"The required materials are either [Dark Magician] or [Dark Magician Girl] + a Mage-type monster."

"Using your Dragon Mage and my Dark Magician Girl as fusion materials, I will perform a fusion summon."

"Can it be chained? Oh, you can't be chained."

The smile on Mr. Phantom Thief's face vanished.

Chapter 115 Waaaaah, my Tamashii is gone!

The ultimate power erupted once more, and the card entrusted to Yusei by Jaden cleared away a major obstacle in his path at that moment.

The unchainable Super Fusion sent the invincible Dragon Mage to the graveyard once again, while the Dark Magician, stripped of his dragon powers, returned to the Dark Magician Girl's side. The master and apprentice once again protected the Pharaoh and his companions.

Yusei glanced at the monster that was jumping around repeatedly for a few moments, then began to think about countermeasures again, with countless options flashing through his mind.

Within this hand of cards, which contains infinite possibilities, lie countless paths, and what he needs to do is find the most suitable one.

"I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] to Special Summon [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] from my Graveyard to my field!"

At this moment, there is no more suitable target for resurrection than Red Daddy. Just as the Phantom Thief on the other side wanted to use Red Daddy to interfere with him, he can now revive him to protect his storytelling.

Moreover, I currently have the Dark Magician's Apprentice on the field. After activating Monster Resurrection, I can draw a card, which is equivalent to getting a free Red Daddy. Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

And so, the once noble forbidden card, the powerful whisper spirit, and the Red Father who often appeared as a compromise and then accidentally killed the enemy, kept jumping back and forth between the two sides.

But things obviously couldn't go that smoothly.

"You can't just pull this thing out like that! The moment you activate Monster Resurrection, I'll chain-activate the effect of Dream God!"

"Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect; destroy 1 other monster on the field."

"I will remove the source network as the hypermaterial and activate this effect!"

Because it is a noble, non-targeting effect, it does not require selecting a target during chaining. The target will only be selected when the effect starts processing, preventing enemies from escaping by various means.

At this point, Yusei's only monster on the field is the Dark Magician Master and Apprentice. Since the effect of the Dark Magician Master and Apprentice requires a separate chain to be activated, Yusei cannot draw a card through this effect until the chain ends, even if the condition of having a Spell Card on the field to activate has been met. After the effect is resolved, the Dark Magician Master and Apprentice will have been destroyed, and the card draw effect cannot be activated at this point. He can only activate his Last Words.

Moreover, the phantom thief, who is not a kind person, has not yet ended his chain of actions.

"After activating the effect of the Phantom God, I'm going to activate my face-down card!"

"Resurrected from the graveyard, huh? Resurrected from the dying words of the Black Magician and his apprentice, huh? You all better stay put in the graveyard!"

"Continuous Trap Card [Void Space]! As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, neither player can Special Summon monsters!"

Strange energy permeated this space, making the place seem dreamlike and illusory, like nothingness.

In the now-empty battlefield, nothing can be touched anymore; all monsters can only descend upon it through the most basic means.

"Chain Reverse Processing, C3 Void Space, continuous effect takes effect immediately, C2 Dream God, effect resolution, I choose to destroy your Dark Magician Master and Apprentice on the field!"

With a mere flap of its wings, the Dream God defeated the most powerful magician and his disciple, and the power they left behind was rendered useless by the seal of the void space.

"Finally, C1, your Monster Resurrection also failed because it could not be Special Summoned."

As he slowly sorted out each effect, Mr. Phantom Thief looked at his massive monster with 10,000 attack and Void Space on the field and suddenly felt that he was invincible again.

Wasting a single Zombie Resurrection card and leaving the field completely empty, wasn't this a huge loss for the Wanderer?

The invincible void space is here, please begin your storytelling performance!

It's a pity. If the remaining face-down card had been a skill draw, then Mr. Phantom Thief would have been the perfect finisher.

Unfortunately, that's not the case, otherwise, with double insurance (and the insurance company), Mr. Phantom Thief would really want to open a bottle of champagne for himself.

Faced with the powerful blockade of the void space, Yusei looked at his hand and fell silent. This obvious disadvantage made the other two worry for Yusei.

You see, in the previous encounters, Yusei had been cheering on the other two the whole time. Now that he had fallen silent, the other two thought he was really in danger.

But in fact...

"Sigh..." Yusei sighed and silently slammed down the card in his hand that he had originally planned to discard as the cost of a Super Polymerization.

“Mr. Phantom Thief over there, I’m going to return to you exactly what you just said to Judai.”

"Sometimes, going to extremes is not necessarily a good thing."

"What?!" The smile on Mr. Phantom Thief's face froze. He stared blankly at the magic card that Yusei had photographed.

Did you just pull this out or did you just print it?

"The Normal Spell Card [Lightning Storm] can be activated once per turn if you control no face-up cards. You can choose 1 of the following effects to destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field, or destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's field."

The powerful Void Space naturally has strong side effects; it will automatically be destroyed whenever a card from the deck or field is sent to the graveyard.

In other words, if Yusei chooses to destroy the monster directly, the seal on the void space will break down on its own.

"You're going to sabotage my front line, aren't you?" The Phantom Thief really wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.

"I choose to disrupt your backline," Yusei said calmly, completely ignoring the powerful monster with tens of thousands of attacks in the front line.

After all, compared to the big monster on the surface, the other hidden back row is more worthy of attention.

A thunderous roar erupted instantly, sweeping towards Mr. Phantom Thief's back area, which was completely defenseless and was easily destroyed.

The moment the second face-down card was sent to the graveyard, the trio all saw the true form of that face-down card.

And they all simultaneously revealed subtle expressions.

Yugi's eyes held a hint of doubt and confusion, while Jaden's face was full of certainty, a sense of something unexpected yet expected.

Yusei suddenly recalled some details. He carefully considered every detail of the duel and, after thinking for a long time, revised the plan he had made earlier.

Because the name of that card is "Self-Destruct Switch".

At this moment, Mr. Phantom Thief had no time to pay attention to the expressions of others.

He had only one thought in his mind—"Waaah, my Tamashi is gone."

Although he had a hand trap in hand, 6400 health, and a monster with 10,000 attack on the field, whose last words could summon a super monster with 100,000 attack, and that super monster had the effect of restoring LP and an invincible special victory effect, while the opponent only had 800 LP left and no front and back rows, he felt that he was about to die.

After clearing the back area and removing the void space barrier, Yusei glanced at his hand and finally began his operation.

"The effect of [Junk Converter] can be activated by discarding this card and 1 Tuner from your hand. Add 1 [Synchro] monster from your Deck to your hand."

Upon hearing this effect, Mr. Phantom Thief felt that he could activate his invincible five-speed effect in advance and win quickly, but the hand trap in his hand still gave him a glimmer of hope for victory.

Seeing that the Phantom Thief did not react to the activation of the effect, Yusei immediately entered storytelling mode.

"I discard the Tuner monster 'Xuanyuan Sword Master' from my hand and add 'Junk Synchron' from my Deck to my hand."

The phantom thief, who had originally planned to close his eyes and rest, was instantly drawn to the strange keywords.

What the heck? Weren't you playing the second-tier "Useless" class? Are you going to upgrade to the first-tier "Sword Master" class?

Furthermore, if Mr. Phantom Thief also has some recollection of this card, it seems to be a debuff card used for attack and declaration.

The thought sent another chill down his spine.

I'll never do something so reckless again. How many hand traps have these three people gotten?

"Normal Summon 'Junk Synchron', and based on its effect, Special Summon 'Junk Converter' of Level 2 or lower in the Graveyard in Defense Position without any effects."

[Dark 3-Star Warrior Race Adjusted ATK 1300 DEF 500]

With a Level 3 Tuner monster and a Level 2 Non-Tuner monster already on the field, Mr. Phantom Thief seems to have already seen the Junk Speedster appear on the field and pull out a neat bunch of monsters, and then fast forward to the end of the game, where he is killed by the Triple Heaven Triple Radiance.

After all, the Dream God and the super monsters summoned by His last words are both big, dumb monsters with no resistance.

However, Yusei did not act as he had expected.

"If you have the effect of [Doppelganger Warrior] in your hand, you can Special Summon this card from your hand when a monster is Special Summoned from your Graveyard."

A monster with an extremely powerful effect appeared on the field, but the Phantom Thief felt only strangeness.

Since Junk Speedster has the effect of filling the entire field at once, if Yusei really wants to Synchro Summon Junk Speedster later, Special Summoning Doppelganger Warrior now is just filling up his own slot.

Just as Mr. Phantom Thief was waiting for Yusei to make his next summoning, Yusei suddenly did something unexpected.

He pressed a button on his duel disk that he didn't know what it was for.

As the button was pressed, Mr. Phantom Thief could sense that something in this space had come to life.

"Is this feeling... coming?" Mr. Phantom Thief and Jaden said this almost simultaneously, while Yugi stared blankly at the two monsters that flew into the sky and transformed into rings and starlight.

"The bonds we forge, the overlap of our souls with our companions, and the wisdom of the future will ignite our path forward!"

Wait a minute? Which monster does this summoning phrase refer to?

"Light up our future!"

"Summon Synchro Summon! Come on! LV5 [Tech-type Super Librarian]!"

2+3=5, no problem, but when this monster, which often appears in the decks of those who are just giving up, appears, there is a problem.

Although it's unclear why Yusei brought this person up, it's foreseeable that the storytelling is about to begin.

The game looked at this unprecedented summoning method with a hint of doubt, his heart filled with curiosity. As a true duelist, he could not resist the appearance of such a novel thing.

His talent in duels allowed him to instantly grasp the most basic rules of this summoning method, but he also wanted to know what the characteristics of this summoning method were and where its strength lay.

After all, he had already witnessed very strong Xyz Summoning and even more flexible Link Summoning.

If Mr. Phantom Thief knew what Yugi was thinking at this moment, he would probably reply that the characteristic of Synchro is that it can talk!

She's incredibly talkative!

If we're talking about its strengths... wouldn't the fact that its performance arena can make Soul Players go wild count?

"Doppelganger's effect allows you to Special Summon two Level 1 Tokens to your field in Attack Position if they are sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material."
