Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

[Plant-eating, insectivorous, wandering whale] [★5→★1]

[Predatory Plant-eating Cobra] [★3→★1]

[Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] [★8→★1]

You Yang raised an eyebrow slightly; it turned out that the man with the bull horn mask had this card in his back room.

If his backcourt wasn't disrupted in time, it could have been quite dangerous.

After all, the combination of [Predator Plan] and [Predator Plant Rhinoceros] is equivalent to a complete, indiscriminate, and all-around monster effect nullification.

Fortunately, I've been forced into it by myself.

However, the man in the bull-horned mask reacted very quickly.

When the "Predator Plan" couldn't be used as originally planned, he didn't choose to let the card be wasted.

Instead, it is used decisively before it is destroyed, in order to accumulate subsequent resources.

This wasn't You Yang praising the man in the bull-horned mask; rather, he had also watched many other duels in the arena over the past few days.

Some people would rather have their cards destroyed by their effects than activate them.

You Yang later inquired about it, and most of the answers he received were "I can't remember" or "I think it's unimportant".

They didn't seem to care much about things that disrupted their original plans.

The fact that the man in the horned mask could make such a decisive decision immediately proves that he is not an amateur!

"That's not all!"

"Next, the chain reaction of the [Predation Plan] will take effect!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Predatory Super-Speed ​​Fusion]!"

"Only one card with this name can be activated per turn."

"This effect can only be activated if there is a 'Predator Plant' monster on the field."

"Send 2 or more Fusion Material Monsters, including those DARK Attribute Monsters on your field or your opponent's field, from the Graveyard to the Extra Deck, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster."

"I'm sending the [Predatory Plant Pineapple Insectivorous Valley Whale] and [Predatory Plant Snake Bottle Grass Cobra] from the field to the graveyard!"

"Summon [Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] again through fusion!"

In the dark purple glow, the figure of the [Hyperhorn Rhinoceros Predator], filled with strange beauty and deadly danger, reappeared!

[Plant-eating Rhinoceros] [★8] [Dark/Plant/Fusion/Effect] [Attack: 2700 / Defense: 1900]

The man with the bull horn mask did not turn over the remaining two covered cards.

As the long chain of events came to an end, the horned masked man also placed the card from his deck that had been sent to the graveyard due to its effect into the graveyard.

You Yang finally drew a brand new card from the extra deck and slammed it down!

An incredibly fierce, condensed green energy storm, almost tangible, instantly formed on Youyang's field!

However, the [Elemental Hero Storm Neos], who should have disappeared under the [Mask Transformation] effect, suddenly appeared at the center of the energy storm!

As the energy storm completely engulfed the figure of [Elemental Hero Storm Neos], the cosmic hero's form began to undergo a dramatic transformation.

Amidst the violently spinning green storm, the deep blue cosmic armor originally worn by [Elemental Hero Storm Neos] was stripped away and disintegrated inch by inch by the powerful energy impact!

Immediately afterwards, countless new armor parts, made of pure light particles and shimmering with emerald green light, flew in from all directions and were "reinstalled" on the hero's body at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye!

Shoulder armor, breastplate, arm armor... Finally, a bright red scarf fluttered in the wind.

A brand new V-shaped mask, gleaming with a sharp green light, snapped onto the hero's face with a precise "click"!

You Yang's loud shout suddenly rang out at that moment!

"—Transform!"

The storm suddenly exploded!

A brand new masked hero, brimming with extreme speed and explosive power, descends upon the earth in a stylish half-crouching pose!

The moment he landed, a powerful gust of air erupted from beneath his feet, causing countless fine cracks to appear on the hard metal dueling platform!

He slowly stood up, exuding a powerful aura that was not to be underestimated, like a never-ending whirlwind!

"【Masked Hero Gust】has arrived!"

【Masked Hero: Gust】【★6】【Wind/Warrior/Fusion/Effect】【Attack: 2200 / Defense: 1800】

With the arrival of [Masked Hero Gust], the gale that was originally gathered by [Elemental Hero Storm Neos] was completely freed from its shackles.

It raged across this area shrouded in the cosmos.

The two remaining face-down cards of the horned masked man in the back row were also blown away by the fierce wind, disappearing into specks of purple light.

"Then, I'll activate the entrance effect of [Masked Hero Gale]!"

"If this card is Special Summoned, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls."

"The monster's attack power has been halved."

"I'm targeting your newly introduced [Predatory Herbivorous Rhinoceros]!"

"Reduce its attack power by half!"

【Masked Hero Gust】suddenly raised his arm, and a dark green whirlwind composed of high-density wind pressure emerged, instantly wrapping around 【Predatory Plant Rhinoceros Dragon】like a leech.

The originally ferocious aura of the [Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] instantly weakened under the suppression of this wind force.

[Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horn] [Attack: 2700 → 1350 / Defense: 1900]

However, at that moment, the silent cemetery area where the man with the bull horn mask had been standing lit up with an eerie dark purple light once again.

His hoarse voice, filled with resentment, rang out as well!

"At this very moment! The second effect of my [Predator Plan] in the graveyard activates!"

"Each of the card's ① and ② effects can be used once per turn."

"So now, I'm activating its second effect!"

"If you successfully Fusion Summon a DARK monster while this card is in your Graveyard, you can banish this card from your Graveyard and target 1 card on the field to activate this effect."

"That card is destroyed."

"I'm targeting your [Masked Hero Gale] on the field!"

"Destroy it!"

A dark purple shadow, filled with resentment and predatory desire, suddenly darted out from the grave of the man with the bull horn mask, tracing a twisted trajectory in the air, and rushed straight towards the newly appeared [Masked Hero Gale] on the field!

As a gust of bloody wind that seemed to tear at the soul swept by, the imposing figure of the Masked Hero Gust on the field of Youyang vanished without a trace, like a phantom.

The staff member responsible for maintaining order, standing at a distance, subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with shock.

Although the two sides had only exchanged one round of attacks, it felt as if the two armies had been locked in a stalemate for a long time. Every round and every stage was filled with countless games and reversals.

Is this really the level of dueling that an average duelist could achieve?

You Yang looked at the empty area on his field, but didn't seem to care much.

He has accomplished everything he wanted to do.

Even if [Masked Hero Gust] remains on the field, he won't be able to exert much influence anymore.

Now, let's start calculating the final blow!

"I summon the [Elemental Hero Sky Knight] from my hand!"

Swish-!

As a blue whirlwind suddenly rose into the air, a hero wearing streamlined blue shoulder armor and with huge turbine wings spread out on his back instantly soared into the air from the whirlwind, appearing in front of You Yang with a cool superhero landing pose.

Chapter 116 The Power of Heroes! The Unveiling of Two Cards!

【Elemental Heroes: Sky Warrior】【★4】

[Wind/Warrior Race] [Attack: 1800 / Defense: 300]

Looking at the [Elemental Hero Sky Knight] on the field, You Yang immediately said:

"I activate the entry effect of [Elemental HERO Sky Knight]".

"When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate 1 of the following effects."

"●1: Destroy a maximum number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field equal to the number of other HERO Monsters you control."

●2: Add 1 "HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand.

"I choose to activate its second effect!"

"I'm adding [Elemental Hero: Sincere Neos] to my hand!"

【Elemental HERO Sky Knight】With a flap of its wings, two dark green whirlwinds swept towards Youyang's deck.

Just as a card from Youyang's deck was about to be blown out by the whirlwind, the voice of the man in the bull-horned mask suddenly rang out!

"Don't think about it!"

"Chain with the effect of [Elemental HERO Sky Knight]! I activate the effect of [Predatory Plant Rhinoceros]!"

"Place a Predator Counter on your Elemental HERO Skywalker!"

Just as the wings behind [Elemental HERO Sky Knight] began to flap, and Yu Yang was about to draw a card from his deck.

The alluring predatory flower on the back of the [Plant-eating Rhinoceros] suddenly bloomed once more! Dark purple seeds shot out like bullets!

This time, You Yang no longer had a second [Mask Transformation].

The body of [Elemental Hero Sky Knight] was precisely struck by that ominous seed!

The moment the seed came into contact with the body of [Elemental Hero Sky Warrior], it immediately began to grow violently and strangely.

The seeds transformed into countless dark green, barbed vines that completely enveloped and bound the body of [Elemental Hero Sky Warrior]!

The smug voice of the man in the bull-horn mask rang out again.

"At this very moment! Another effect of [Predatory Herbivorous Rhinoceros] activates!"

"As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, the effects of monsters with Predator Counters activated by your opponent will be negated!"
