Duels should be played with a smile.

It seems to have something to do with the substitute thunder spirit.

In short, Lei Jing's crimes are heinous.

The Divine Judgment from the Spellbook—a fake Divine Judgment card—but the Spellbook is too weak. In the current meta where the Tear of the Underworld is rampant, releasing it is just so-so.

It can be used as a small-switch add-on at most, but whether it's worth using needs further investigation.

It's not unusual for someone to try and make a mirage out of Tang Sanzang; let's just wait and see.

The opening of the Brand event – ​​not much to say, the Brand cards are almost sold out, it feels more like it's just a shield for Brand Fusion.

Newly approved restricted card:

Allied Next-Generation Birdman Soldier - I can only say I've never seen this card before, so I won't comment on it.

Migratory Birds and the Mysterious Map – Unsurprisingly, it's not surprising that migratory birds are nerfed.

Brand Fusion – Deck Fusion, nothing much to say.

New Unrestricted Card:

Self-composed Sacred Music, Divertimento Demon - Self-composed Laughing

The Magician of Tuning - The magician smiles and asks, by the way, when will "Zhou Du" (a popular Chinese novel) be released?

Assassins of the Abyss -- nothing much to say.

Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon - Same as above

Lone Spark - A classic case of a veteran war criminal receiving a suspended sentence

Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon -- Same as above

Clockwork aircraft carrier, clockwork behemoth -- nothing much to say.

The beginning of the end -- nothing much to say.

Lightning strike -- nothing much to say.

Kamikaze in the Valley of Mist - nothing much to say.

The Dragon Sword appears—Shui Bai is dead, and Huan Longjun is basically gone too. Those who were accidentally injured can now come out.

Overall, this table is quite telling. It shows that because the game environment is constantly evolving, Konami is gradually releasing older banned cards.

Let's see if there are any new ideas about synchronization after the water purifier dies.

I feel like the new cards coming later will be quite bold, so I'll just say I'm a prophet here.

In this era where even the full-fledged twelve beasts are somewhat insufficient, a new summoning method seems quite necessary.

Without a new summoning strategy emerging to reshuffle the deck, the current summoning meta is destined for infighting.

The case is solved! Why was the Super Dimension being decimated by the Merged Dimension? Because the Netherworld Pearl Tear is simply too powerful.

It's 2022, and they're still cracking Xiaomi's code.

However, this time it's during your first attack round.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heroes Rise to the Challenge!

"It seems...it's time?"

Under a sky full of stars, a little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll, sat alone atop a towering building, gazing at the stars and murmuring to herself.

She exuded a maturity that seemed incongruous with her petite frame.

This is the highest point of the Synchro Dimension.

The upper district of the city of Synchronous City, the central district of the upper district, the top of the tallest and most iconic building in the central district.

Because of the popularity of high-speed duels, all kinds of high-speed tracks have been built in the sky of the Synchro Dimension, but there are no tracks to be seen near this building, which further highlights the unique status of this place.

Jicheng Fiberglass sat alone on the top of the building, his thoughts already soaring into the sky with the countless stars.

Not long ago, she sensed the arrival of "that great one". She thought about leading her people to find that great one, to return to where they belonged, and to do what they were supposed to do.

But... the Synchronization Dimension still needs her, and cannot do without her.

Back then, when she and those whispering elves who could hardly be considered allies chose to leave, aside from those three who were somewhat special, the others basically all had their own thoughts.

Aimless, they eventually chose to follow their instincts and each went to the dimension corresponding to their summoning method.

After that, the three of them maintained intermittent contact, each using their own power in their own dimension to guide the duelists toward a future with more possibilities.

Initially, under their guidance, the various dimensions flourished and prospered. However, once their respective summoning techniques reached a certain level, an unavoidable problem arose.

Their dimension moves forward under their guidance; they themselves are the banner, the goal.

It is also the end.

While they pointed out the direction, they also blocked the road to even greater distances.

"Senran... We haven't heard from him in so long. Has he chosen to hide, or what happened to him? And Yinjin, where did you go again?"

"I feel like...time is almost up."

She was thinking, and she could sense that even if she didn't go, he would come when the time came.

"I feel... I'm not ready yet."

……

"Your attack power is only 1225 now. Do you still have enough confidence in your monster?"

"Of course!"

"Ha! Well then, let's keep watching!"

"My...teacher!"

With a hint of gritted teeth, Jaden, immersed in the duel and having cast aside the things he needed to be careful about as the Overlord, no longer cared whether his opponent was his former teacher.

Since they look the same, they must be the same person!

"I'll use gusts of wind and mist as materials to summon! [Special Hero Staff Pioneer]!"

Wind and water intertwine, bringing forth a hero wielding a magic staff.

The double arrow pointing upwards and downwards is not in line with the usual style of a strong person, but it probably also allowed him to avoid the gaze of the world's will.

"Now, I only have two cards left in my hand, but one of them, you know about." Jaden said after summoning the Deity Herald, a monster that cannot function when it exists alone.

"I know... wait?!"

Recalling the previous details, Leyou gasped – could it be that the card in Jaden's hand hadn't been verified by Genji?

As if sensing Leyou's thoughts, Judai gave a soft snort: "I'm not so bad as to do that... although it's not impossible if I wanted to."

"But you... after you disappeared, no, after that guy disappeared, I investigated some things about him. I guess, if you want, you can also protect your card from the distortion of the world's will, right?"

"Not being distorted by the world's will... that probably refers to being affected by the source number." After slightly modifying Judai's words in his mind, Leyou nodded: "At certain times, I can indeed do that, but most of the time, there is no need for it."

"You mean the current situation?" Judai's lips curled up slightly, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"Let me introduce you to my old friend first! I'll start by placing one of my cards face down in the back row."

"Next up is the effect of [Elemental HERO Bubble Fighter] in my hand! If you only have this card in your hand, you can Special Summon it from your hand!"

Come on, old friend!

[Water · 4★ · Warrior · Defense 1200]

Known as Greedy Man, Bubble Man, who was castrated by the power of the source number, sprang from Jaden's hands at his call.

It can be said that the existence of Bubble Man is proof of Jaden's exceptionally good luck.

He has drawn Bubble Man countless times in duels, and then turned the tide of battle by relying on Bubble Man's Pot of Greed.

"Bubble Man's card-drawing effect can't be dealt with, but this time, I summoned him at the connector of the Divine Staff Herald!"

"Therefore, the effect of the Scepter Herald can be activated!"

A beam of light emanated from the scepter in the hands of the Scepter Pioneer, connecting the graveyards of Bubble Man and Jaden.

"With the effect of the Staff of the Vanguard, I set [Miracle Fusion] from my graveyard to my back row!"

"Miracle Fusion? Is there anything else in your graveyard worth fusing? Wait a minute?!"

Leyou suddenly realized that the two materials that Jaden used to summon the Divine Staff Herald seemed to be somewhat unusual.

"Looks like you remember! Yes, it's him!"

"Watch closely! This is my final transformation!"

"I activate the face-down Spell Card [Miracle Fusion]!"

The enormous fusion vortex reappeared, engulfing the two monsters in the graveyard. Moments later, two small bottles, one green and one blue, fell out of the vortex and landed in Jaden's hands.

"The combined materials are two monsters from [Masked Hero]! Gust! Mist! Bestmatch!"

"When the boundaries between light and darkness are no longer distinct, the interplay of earth, water, fire, and wind is the manifestation of chaos!"

"Finally mask change!"

"Come forth! [Ultra-Hero Chaos Knight]!"

[Dark 9★ Warrior 3000 Attack Power]

Half light, half darkness, with the power of miracles, the strongest masked hero has finally arrived!

"Chaos Knight is also considered an Elemental HERO monster under the rules, so it can be summoned using Miracle Fusion," Jaden casually explained.

but!

Although the rules state that it is an Elemental HERO and has the Elemental HERO field, Chaos Knight's card name does not contain Elemental HERO, so those cards that require Elemental HERO in their name do not apply to Chaos Knight.

"Chaos Knight...this is really a bit tricky," Leyou murmured.

The reason is simple: Chaos Knight is a card that no other hero in the entire hero family can find that has a speed nullification effect.

"If I can make things difficult for you, then I've achieved my goal," Judai said with a hint of smugness.

"And I'm not done yet!"

"Reappear once more! The circuit of hero's descent!"
