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

The old man, known as "Old Mo," hung up the phone and looked at the girl curled up in a huge transparent container in front of him, seemingly asleep. His eyes were filled with a complex and indescribable expression.

Their decades-long plan is about to become a reality in the next few days!

On Youyang's side, shortly after Tiandao Lian received some news and hurriedly left, the thin wooden door of his hut was knocked on without any politeness.

You Yang opened the door and looked at Lilith standing outside with a sly smile, and the tall, muscular man with fiery red hair beside her.

The man looked at You Yang and began to sized him up without any politeness.

"You're You Yang?"

The red-haired man crossed his arms, his eyes sharp and filled with undisguised fighting spirit.

"It's me. What's the matter?" You Yang asked calmly, his gaze mainly fixed on the unfamiliar red-haired man.

I want to fight you!

The red-haired man suddenly stretched out his arm, and the exaggerated, sharply styled Duel Disk immediately unfolded on his wrist, emitting a crisp mechanical sound, and the energy indicator light lit up!

"Let me see for myself just how great the power of the god I worship truly is!"

His voice was loud and clear, filled with fervent anticipation.

You Yang caught a glimpse of the smug grin on Lilith's face and roughly guessed what was going on.

It seems that Tiandao Lian's companion came specifically to "verify" his strength.

This duel seems to be inevitable!

Otherwise, there would probably be one more person following behind him.

Then let's fight!

As the two finished speaking with fighting spirit, they almost simultaneously and deftly inserted their decks into the duel disk.

A coin generated by a virtual projection suddenly appears in the air and begins to spin rapidly, determining who gets to attack first!

A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air.

“My name is Jord Rosen, and I’m with Tendou Ren.”

"The one we believe in is naturally the great God of Harmony!"

[The duel begins!]

[Jord Rosen: LP 8000]

[Youyang: LP 8000]

With a crisp "ding-a-ling" sound, the virtual coin that determined the order spun and landed. Jord Rosen's face immediately revealed a confident smile, and a burning fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

"It seems luck is on my side today, I choose to strike first!"

As he spoke, he deftly drew five cards from the top of his deck.

You Yang had no objection to this, and calmly drew five cards from his own deck, quickly scanning his hand with a nonchalant expression.

Jode looked at his hand, thought for a moment, and then decisively played his first card.

"I summon the [Soul Resonator] in my hand!"

Accompanied by a burst of scorching flames and distorted musical notes, a demonic adjuster with a strange sonic device in hand and curved, pointed horns on his head appeared on his field amidst churning flames.

[Soul Resonator] [3 Stars]

[Fire/Adjustment/Demon Race] [Attack: 500, Defense: 200]

"Furthermore, I will immediately activate the [Soul Resonator] entry effect!"

Jode's voice carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned."

"Add 1 Level 4 or lower Fiend monster (excluding 'Soul Resonator') from your Deck to your hand."

"After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon non-DARK Synchro Monsters from the Extra Deck until the end of the turn."

"I've added [Bone Demon] to my hand from my deck!"

The Soul Resonator on the field suddenly clashed the hammer and fork in their hands together—"Clang!"

An invisible sound wave suddenly spread out, accurately impacting Jord's deck, causing a card to bounce off the deck and be caught steadily in his hand.

You Yang simply watched quietly, raising his hand to indicate that he had no intention of interfering.

He knew in his heart that the classic endgame of the Crimson Dragon system was pretty much the same, so what was wrong with letting the opponent unleash their full potential?

Seeing that You Yang indeed had no hand traps to interfere with, Jord Rosen's expression relaxed considerably, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

He revealed the cards he had just added to his hand and declared loudly:

"I activate the effect of the [Bone Demon] that I just added to my hand!"

"If this card is in your hand or Graveyard, you can send 1 other card from your hand or field to the Graveyard to activate this effect."

"Special Summon this card."

"Similarly, after this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon any non-Dragon-Type DARK Synchro Monsters from the Extra Deck until the end of the turn."

"I send the Crimson Resonator in my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon the Bone Demon!"

Chapter 145 Red and Green Dual Formations! The True Crimson Lotus Demon!

Jord Rosen held two cards between his fingers, smoothly placing one into the graveyard and slamming the other heavily onto the Duel Disk.

In an instant, a chilling aura spread out, and a demon made entirely of white bones, with long, pale hair and a grotesquely twisted face, appeared on his field with a cracking sound of its joints grinding together.

[White Bone Demon] [4 stars]

[Dark/Demon Race] [Attack Power: 1800 Defense Power: 0]

"Next, I'll activate the effect of [Bone Demon] on the field!"

Jord's offensive continued relentlessly.

"You can only activate this skill by targeting 1 face-up monster you control."

"Send 1 Fiend-Type Tuner from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard; the Level of the targeted monster increases or decreases by 1."

"I activate this effect by targeting [Soul Resonator] on the field. I choose to send [Love-Infused Lupu] from my Deck to the Graveyard and reduce [Soul Resonator]'s Level by 1!"

As Jord's words fell, the [Bone Demon] on the field began to dance a bizarre and twisted dance, its joints emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

A slight buzzing sound emanated from his deck area, and a card automatically popped out of the deck and slid precisely into the graveyard.

At the same time, the [Soul Resonator] on the field was enveloped by a layer of ever-expanding pale bone fragments, emitting a low and painful wail.

[Soul Resonator] [3 stars → 2 stars]

2-star adjustment + 4-star monster...

Is it coming?

You Yang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly as he silently recited to himself.

This is such a familiar and classic plot device.

Looking at You Yang's expression, which seemed to see through everything, Jord Rosen felt for some reason that he was being underestimated.

An unnamed anger flared up, and it seemed as if invisible flames were rising around him. He suddenly shouted:

"I'm using my Level 2 Adjustment Monster [Soul Resonator] and Level 4 [Bone Demon] to adjust the StarCraft!"

With a command from Jord Rosen, the two monsters on the field gradually became transparent, breaking down into two and four dazzling starlight. These stars shone brightly and were neatly arranged in the air to form a magnificent star ring.

"A crimson dragon!"

"Awaken the Demon King to illuminate the path ahead!"

Synchro Summon!

"Appear! [Crimson Rising Dragon]!"

The star ring suddenly erupted, spewing out endless crimson light!

A majestic dragon, its body engulfed in inextinguishable flames and its scales resembling molten red steel, suddenly spread its enormous wings and leaped out from the core of its radiance!

Its powerful muscles bulged in the firelight, displaying unparalleled strength, and it let out a roar that shook the entire arena!

【Crimson Lotus Rising Dragon】【6 Stars】

[Dark/Dragon Race] [Attack: 2100, Defense: 1600]

Looking at the familiar crimson dragon, You Yang couldn't help but show a look of nostalgia.

This familiar monster reminded him of a card-playing friend he once had.

He specializes in this "Tamashi" deck, and he's also a hot-tempered guy who likes to be straightforward.

In order to give his beloved deck a place in the competitive environment, he also painstakingly researched and developed a number of strange but surprisingly effective small combos.

When playing cards offline, that guy always liked to shout out lines with such enthusiasm. Looking back now, I really miss that time and that friend.

Jord Rosen, on the other hand, completely disregarded what You Yang was thinking. His entire focus was on the duel, and he was determined to give it his all.

In his mind, rounding up, he was now fighting against a being who carried the power of a god!

This thought made his blood almost boil.

It's so exciting it's thrilling!

Gazing at the red dragon burning with intense flames on the field, Jord Rosen declared with high spirits:

"I activate the entrance effect of [Crimson Rising Dragon]!"

"When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, you can target 1 'Resonator' monster in your Graveyard to activate this effect!"

"During the turn this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon non-Dragon/DARK Synchro Monsters from your Extra Deck."

"Special Summon that monster!"

"I hereby Special Summon the Crimson Resonator from the Graveyard!"

"Awaken, [Crimson Resonator]!"

A dark red light flashed across the graveyard area, and a Resonator appeared, also holding a sonic device but with a completely different form from the [Soul Resonator].
