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

"—GO!! Triangle Acceleration Synchronization!!!"

"—COME ON! [Technology Attribute - Long-handled Blade Demolition Gunner]!!!"

Boom-!

With a heavy thud, the entire duel dimension shook violently.

As the smoke cleared, a colossal, suffocatingly large ultimate mechanical fortress stood in the center of the battlefield.

Its entire body was covered with thick red and white composite armor, and the ends of its huge mechanical arms were not hands, but two long-handled explosive cannons capable of shattering stars.

The thrusters at its back spewed out streams of blue particles, maintaining the behemoth's maneuverability.

Its cold, electronic eyes flashed with a red light that signified destruction, locking onto Youyang below.

[Technology Attribute - Long-handled Blade Demolitionist]

【★12】【Earth/Machine/Synchro/Effect】【ATK: 4000 / DEF: 4000】

"This is the triangular acceleration synchronization!"

Looking at the colossal beast before him, which resembled a war fortress, Kelos's eyes were filled with pride.

This is the highest level of synchronization he has mastered so far!

"Come, chosen ones!"

"Let me see what you're capable of in the face of this technological power that surpasses all limits!"

At this moment, the field in Kylos was practically a "wall of despair".

On the far left is the connecting monster [Tech Genus - Trident Thrower].

Its three connecting arrows point downwards.

And in the areas indicated by the three arrows, stood—

The Baroness of Flowers possesses the power of three colors!

The ultimate terminal with an attack power of up to 4000: [Technology Attribute - Long-handled Blade Blast Gunner]!

And that revived [Meteor Dragon - Tech Attribute Expansion]!

You Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three monsters standing in the area pointed to by the arrow of [Technology Attribute - Trident Thrower].

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that the resistance provided to monsters within the linked area by a high-level Link Monster like the [Tech Genus Trident Thrower] is definitely not simple.

Chapter 227: The speed-up reappears! Effective against extra monsters!

You Yang calmly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"It's highly likely to be a hard resistance like 'cannot be the target of an effect' or 'cannot be destroyed by an effect'."

"Plus, there's the Flower Baroness standing next to her who can nullify one effect, and that [Technology-type Longhandled Blade Demolitionist] who looks really intimidating..."

A breakthrough like this is unlikely to be easy.

"but……"

You Yang's smile didn't disappear; instead, he looked at his hand.

He had discovered during his previous inspection that, in addition to obtaining [Super Fusion], the other decks also gained new power during the battle in the realm of the heart.

"Since it's an impenetrable fortress, let's just break through it head-on!"

Let's go then, Ionic vs. Ionic!

"My turn!"

You Yang calmly drew a card from his hand and showed it to his opponent.

"I activate the effect of [King of Junk] from my hand!"

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned."

You can activate this effect by revealing 1 "Warrior" or "Stardust" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent.

"Special Summon this card from your hand. This turn, you cannot Special Summon anything other than a Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck."

Without any hesitation, You Yang reached into the Extra Deck and drew a card, revealing its familiar face.

"I'll show you the Stardust Dragon from my Extra Deck!"

"Come forth, king of junk!"

Special Summon - [King of Junk]!!

Clang!

With a crisp metallic clang, a warrior, pieced together from scrap parts, rusty gears, and tattered armor, soars through the sky.

Its body shimmered with a golden luster, and its steel wings were incredibly sharp.

[King of Scrap Metal]

【★4】【Earth/Warrior/Effect】【Attack: 100 / Defense: 2300】

You Yang waved his hand, pointing at the warrior who had just appeared:

"At this moment, the [King of Scrap Metal]'s entrance effect activates!"

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

"Add 1 'Junk' card, other than 'Junk King', from your deck to your hand."

"I've chosen to add [Scrap Armor] from my deck to my hand!"

Faced with You Yang's precise search operation, Kairos did not rush to respond.

He pushed up the glasses on his nose that gleamed coldly, and his eyes behind the lenses were like a sophisticated scanner, quickly examining the defenses he had erected.

This is not blind arrogance, but absolute confidence based on data.

Just one glance at his presence would leave any seasoned duelist breathless:

Standing at the very front is the [Baroness of Flowers], who possesses the ability to negate and destroy the activation effect of any card once.

This is the sharpest shield in his hands, and also his last line of defense.

Closely following behind was the massive, mobile fortress-like [Technology Attribute - Long-handled Blade Demolition Gunner].

Its effect is enough to cripple any tactic that relies on the Extra Deck—it can banish any monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck during both players' turns.

On the flank, the technologically modified [Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion] was also circling.

If the opponent dares to activate an effect that targets a monster on their field, it can negate and destroy that activation by banishing a Tuner monster from the Graveyard.

But that's not the worst part.

The most terrifying thing is the core hub that floats in mid-air and connects all the monsters—[Technology Trident Thrower].

Just as You Yang guessed, its effect is that the opponent cannot target "Tech Genus" Synchro Monsters in the zone this card is linked to as effects.

This means that conventional point-to-point problem-solving methods are simply no match for him.

"Hmph... For Synchro decks that rely heavily on Extra Deck expansions, this situation is an unsolvable dead end."

Keros coldly calculated the odds of winning in his mind.

"Unless he can pull out an extremely rare and powerful removal card that doesn't require targeting, he doesn't even have the right to touch my monsters."

"The odds of winning this battle are as high as 90%!"

Therefore, Kelos decided to remain inactive.

He wanted to reserve the precious "full health" of the [Baron de la Flora] for the biggest possible surprise.

As for the current search? Let You Yang do the search.

"Struggle all you want... The nightmare will only begin the moment you actually perform a Synchro Summon!"

Kelos's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile that suggested he controlled everything.

Meanwhile, You Yang, on the other side, naturally couldn't hear Kairos's inner thoughts.

His expression was calm as he swiftly and decisively revealed the card he had just retrieved and added to his hand.

"The moment I successfully retrieved it and added it to my hand! The effect of [Scrap Armor] activated!"

"This effect can only be activated if this card is added to your hand by a method other than drawing. Special Summon this card from your hand!"

You Yang slammed the card in his hand onto the duel disk and shouted:

"Turn the rotten into the miraculous! — [Scrap Armor]!"

Clang! Clang!

As the summoning light shone, countless pieces of rusty scrap iron and broken steel plates seemed to be attracted by a magnetic force, flying from the void.

They collided and spliced ​​together rapidly in mid-air, accompanied by a piercing metallic friction sound. The original mottled rust quickly faded away, replaced by a brand-new layer of alloy armor that gleamed with a cold, silvery-white light.

A mechanical warrior, though simple in appearance, stands powerfully in Youyang Field.

[Scrap Armor]

【★2】【Earth/Warrior/Effect】【Attack: 600 / Defense: 1200】

Looking at the monsters gathering on the field, You Yang took a deep breath, his fighting spirit growing stronger.

"Preparations are complete..."

He suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the shimmering cemetery, his voice rising in intensity:

"Now, it's time for synchronization!"

"I activate the effect of [Jet Synchron] in the graveyard!"

"If this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by sending 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard."

Special Summon this card!

You Yang pulled a card from his hand and sent it into the graveyard without hesitation:

"As a price, I will send the [Stardust Synchronizer] in my possession to the graveyard!"

"However, be aware that if this card is Special Summoned by this effect and leaves the field, it will be banished."
