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

huh-huh-

Jord Rosen took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress his excitement.

Now, the time has come!

Jord Rosen suddenly lowered his head to his chest, his chest heaving violently, and a blazing, tangible crimson energy flame suddenly erupted around him once more.

Both You Yang and Lilith, who were present, could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Jord Rosen had undergone a tremendous change.

An incredibly powerful, almost boiling, elven energy was surging forth from his body!

The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, and the temperature suddenly soared by several degrees. The heat wave distorted the view, and the source of all this was undoubtedly Jord Rosen, who was like an incarnation of flames in front of him!

A thick, crimson energy, resembling molten magma, surged and rose violently across his body, even emitting a slight buzzing sound.

Lilith was the most shocked of them all. The sheer pressure and oppression emanating from this power was in no way inferior to the [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] that You Yang had summoned before!

At the moment his momentum reached its peak, Jord Rosen's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He suddenly drew a card from his Extra Deck that seemed to be burning, and with all his might, he shouted:

"I will use my Level 1 Tuner monster [Synchro Resonator], Level 2 Tuner monster [Crimson Resonator], and Level 1 Tuner monster [Synchro Resonator], for a total of three Tuner monsters, to Level 8 [Crimson Demon]!"

Jord Rosen slammed his left foot forward, and with a deafening roar, the ground in front of him completely crumbled!

An incredibly thick torrent of crimson energy shot into the sky, frantically intertwining and entwining with the three Tuner monsters on his field and the four dazzling streams of light formed by the core [Crimson Lotus Demon]!

Countless deep, crimson cracks appeared on the ground, and terrifying energy as hot as magma surged wildly from the earth, forming an unprecedentedly huge spiral beam of synchronized light that fiercely pierced the sky, dyeing the clouds an ominous dark red!

Jord Rosen's eyes burned with unparalleled domineering arrogance and fanaticism, making his voice incomparably proud and resonant, as if resonating with some supreme being:

"Welcome, Your Majesty's Three Wise Men!"

"The Crimson Star will never die; only fools perish!"

"O raging, violent soul, etch this moment of creation upon yourself!"

Synchro Summon!

"Appear! My new supreme power!"

"【True Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon】!"

The top of the pillar of light suddenly tore through space, revealing a magnificent illusion of a supernova bursting violently deep in the universe, where the forces of destruction and creation intertwined and surged!

A majestic, dark red dragon shadow slowly emerged from the core of the explosion. When its enormous wings were fully spread, it instantly unleashed a scorching storm that swept across the entire area. Its roar resonated terrifyingly with the deafening roar of the supernova explosion, shaking the very soul!

The gravity field of the entire battlefield seemed to be distorted, and the rubble on the ground was suspended in a way that defied common sense, rotating at high speed around the dragon's body like satellites, forming energy bands like dazzling star rings!

The dragon's body was covered by a deep, dark red exoskeleton, with a huge, pulsating crystal core that emitted a crimson glow embedded in its chest. Its wings consisted of three pairs of flame blades of different sizes and distinct layers, which showered down countless fire rains with each flap.

At the very end of its tail, an inextinguishable bluish-white karmic fire burns eternally.

Its head has sharp horns that are like blades that can tear through space, and its dragon eyes burst out with a terrifying golden light. Every gap in its dragon scales seems to have lava flowing slowly, radiating extreme heat and power.

The manifestation of this power was so astonishing that everyone in Tian Shu City vaguely sensed a slight, imperceptible yet real tremor beneath their feet in that instant!

【True Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon】【12 Stars】

[Dark/Dragon Race] [Attack: 4000, Defense: 3000]

Feeling his mental energy rapidly draining away like a flood, Jord Rosen's face visibly paled, but at the same time, an extremely exaggerated, triumphant, and manic smile appeared on his face!

This is the strongest power he has recently mastered!

With this power, it's not impossible to even fight against the so-called gods!

This is his second reason for coming to Tian Shu City.

After defeating You Yang, the chosen one of the gods, let him experience firsthand what the so-called god of the underworld is all about!

Looking at the overwhelming power of the [True Crimson Lotus Supernova Dragon], You Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Triple Star Summoning, using three Tuner monsters as materials, truly represents the ultimate expression of Synchro Summoning.

Even powerful monsters like [Shooting Quasar Dragon] and [Cosmic Radiant Dragon] only require two Tuner monsters to achieve this.

However, the materials required there are "a Synchro Monster Tuner + two Synchro Monsters other than Tuners". In terms of operational difficulty, they are actually similar, but the final strength difference is quite obvious.

Looking at Lilith's undisguised shock, Jord Rosen felt very satisfied.

However, his power is far from limited to this!

Jord Rosen spoke again in a loud voice, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.

"I activate the effect of [Crimson Demon], which was sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material!"

"This effect can be activated if this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 'Red Dragon' from your Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon."

"Furthermore, since this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material for a Dragon-Type DARK Synchro Monster, you can also destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field!"

As Jord Rosen said this, his hands seemed to ignite with tangible flames as he drew another card from the Extra Deck and slammed it heavily onto the Duel Disk.

"The awe-inspiring power of a king is now on display!"

"Behold the power that will shake the heavens and earth!"

"Synchronization Summon! My Soul!"

"【Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon】!"

The raging flames rose up again, even more violently than before!

As the flames rolled, a pair of ferocious black claws suddenly tore through the curtain of fire!

A familiar dark red figure soared out from it, its broad wings flapping powerfully behind it. Its body was composed of deep black and fiery red, and every inch of its muscles was full of explosive power!

【Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon】【8-Star】

[Dark/Dragon Race] [Attack: 3000, Defense: 2000]

Tamashi, priced at 250 yen, makes her debut.

Is this what they mean by unfolding the story smoothly while also bringing in old friends to join the fray?

You Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

However, the Crimson Dragon system does require the main body to be present in order to maximize the combined power of the "Red Array" and the "Green Array".

Seeing the ambiguous smile on You Yang's face, as if he knew everything, Jord Rosen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, as if You Yang seemed to be somewhat familiar with his monster.

But that shouldn't be possible, he rarely makes public appearances in the Free Federation.

He would never participate in large-scale commercial duels, and there are almost no videos of his battles circulating online.

Perhaps, as a dragon under the command of the god of harmony, there are legends about the [Crimson Dragon] circulating somewhere?

That's all he could guess.

Who cares! None of these things matter now!

Jord Rosen abruptly waved his hand, as if to shake off the lingering illusory flames on his arm, and then declared with great momentum:

"Furthermore, the [Synchro Clone Resonator] that was just sent to the graveyard as Synchro material also has special effects!"

"I activate the effect of [Synchro Clone Resonator] in the graveyard!"

"If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can target 1 'Resonator' monster in your Graveyard other than 'Synchro Clone Resonator'; add that monster to your hand."

"This effect card name doesn't have a single use per turn!"

"Since I just used two [Synchro Clone Resonators] as Synchro Material, I can activate this effect twice!"

"I choose to add [Vision Resonator] and [Soul Resonator] from the graveyard to my hand!"

The clear, melodious sound of two tuning forks striking each other echoed from Jord Rosen's grave.

As the sound waves spread, the two cards seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, automatically popping out of the graveyard and landing precisely in his hand.

After smoothly receiving the two cards, Jord Rosen deftly flicked his wrist, revealing one of them and saying:

"Next, I'll activate the effect of the [Vision Resonator] that I just added to my hand."

"If there is a Level 5 or higher DARK monster on the field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand."

"Appear! [Vision Resonator]!"

The Resonator, with a huge, mysterious eye-shaped pattern printed on his chest and carrying an energy longbow on his back, once again appeared on Jord Rosen's field.

2-star adjustment + 8-star monster = 10-star

Ten-star, Dark attribute, Dragon race, Synchro...

That's the strength of a king, and the self-discipline of a king!

You Yang quickly did the mental calculations.

However, there aren't many Synchro Monsters that can meet these three demanding conditions, right?

Could it be that monster?

In You Yang's mind, the image of a very famous general-purpose 10-star dark attribute dragon-type Synchro Monster involuntarily appeared.

Jord Rosen let out another powerful shout and drew a card from the Extra Deck!

"I'm using the Level 2 Tuner monster [Horizon Resonator] and the Level 8 [Red Dragon] to adjust the StarCraft!"

Beneath Jord Rosen's feet, crimson energy patterns instantly spread out as if they had come to life!

As if responding to a call, scorching magma erupted from the earth, churning and boiling, seemingly in joy or in a frenzied welcome to something.

The two monsters on the field also soared into the sky amidst the surging magma energy, their bodies transforming into the brilliance of the Synchro Star, spiraling and intertwining into a spectacular pillar of Synchro light!

"Mount Tai resounded!"

"The flames that tear apart mountains and earth together reveal their form!"

Synchro Summon!

"Descend! [Crimson Lotus Demon of the Jade Dragon - Burial]!"

The top of the pillar of light suddenly tore through space, and a burly, ferocious silhouette gradually solidified and appeared amidst the churning flames!

When its enormous wings are fully extended, they instantly create scorching waves of air. Its roar resonates heavily with the rumble of the continuous eruption of underground magma, sending chills down one's spine.

As the lava slowly receded, a majestic monster stood proudly atop a patch of lava and scorched earth!

Its body is dark red, covered with a hard exoskeleton with a metallic texture, its wings are made of a dark, tough membrane, and its tail is sharp as a bladed battle axe.

Its pupils burst forth with crimson light, lava-like patterns shimmered and flowed between the gaps in its dragon scales, its core, like a miniature volcano, surged with terrifying crimson energy, and its left arm, transformed into a huge blade, gleamed with a chilling light that made one's heart tremble!
