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

This time, he no longer had the powerful anti-healing effect of the [Technology-based Long-handled Blade Demolitionist] to protect him.

This means that the [Savior Star Dragon] in front of us will not leave the scene hastily like the [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] before, because it hadn't had time to fully activate its abilities. It will stand here forever, showing its true power!

You Yang's eyes narrowed, and his finger, like a sword, immediately pointed at the core of Kairos's front line, the Connect Monster!

"I activate the effect of [Savior Star Dragon]!"

"Once per turn, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and negate that effect until the End Phase."

"I activate this effect by targeting your [Tech Trident Thrower] on the field!"

"Freeze everything within it! Absorb for salvation!"

As the command was given, the wings of the [Savior Star Dragon] suddenly spread open, and countless starlight converged into a vortex, rushing towards the [Technology Trident Thrower], attempting to completely drain the energy from his body.

"Don't even think about succeeding!!"

Kelos's pupils contracted sharply, an outburst born from being driven to the brink of despair.

He immediately waved his hand forcefully, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse with tension:

"Chain the effects of your [Savior Star Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion]!"

"When the effect of a monster that targets a monster on your field is activated, you can banish 1 Tuner from your Graveyard to activate this effect."

"That activation was nullified and destroyed!"

Kylos quickly drew a card from the graveyard; it was his last line of defense:

"I will exclude the [Technology Star Guardian] from the cemetery!"

"Neglect and destroy the effect of your [Savior Star Dragon]!"

"Snap—!"

With a crisp sound of mechanical transformation, the mechanical spear behind [Meteor Dragon - Tech Attribute Expansion] on Kairos's field suddenly stood up, its energy core rapidly accumulating, instantly locking onto the sacred dragon on Youyang's field!

However, even after making such a counterattack, the madness in Kelos's eyes did not subside, because what he wanted to do was far more than that!

"Then, in this very moment!"

Kelos's voice trembled slightly with excitement, but his hands moved with lightning speed.

"The effect of my counter-trap card [Tech Genus - Lockdown] in my graveyard is activated!"

"This card can only be activated if a Synchro Monster is banished while it is in the Graveyard."

"This card is placed face down on your field."

"If this card, which is set by this effect, leaves the field, it is excluded."

With his roar, the trap card that he had deliberately placed in the graveyard seemed to turn back time, turning into a purple streak of light.

"Then this effect will be chained together again!"

"I activate the second effect of [Technology-based Long-handled Blade Demolitionist]!"

"Special Summon the excluded [Technology Star Guardian]!"

On the field, the futuristic mechanical warrior on the Kairos field—[Technology-type Long-handled Blade Demolition Gunner]—activated the spatial teleportation device on his chest, forcibly tearing open a dimensional rift. [Technology-type Star Guardian], which had been excluded to activate its effect, was ready.

As Kelos looked at the scene where he had suddenly become full, a relaxed smile finally appeared on his lips.

He originally saved the effect of [Technology-type Long-handled Blade Blast Gunner] to counter Youyang's powerful ace monster.

But now, that opportunity is gone.

"In that case, let's recruit some [Technology Star Guardians] to earn some resources."

He secretly rejoiced, and even found it somewhat amusing.

He had been worried about that [Savior Star Dragon] for a long time, as if it were a formidable enemy.

After all that effort, the monster that Youyang had painstakingly summoned turned out to be nothing more than a harmless "single-target effect nullification" monster.

At this point, he not only successfully saved the situation, but also earned a large amount of resources through the chain.

Chapter 233 Total Destruction! Ultimate Kill! Meteor Sonic Strike!

You Yang, on the other hand, expended a lot of hand cards and graveyard resources, yet he didn't even scratch the surface of his defenses.

Kelos took a deep breath, and the huge weight in his heart finally lifted.

The current situation can finally be described as—the outcome is decided.

However, when he looked at the other side with the air of a victor, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Because he discovered that on the other side of the battlefield, You Yang also had a smile on his face.

Moreover, it was by no means a bluffing, bitter smile, but rather the calm and unhurried smile of a hunter watching his prey walk step by step into a trap.

"Is the chain finished?"

You Yang's voice was eerily calm, yet it clearly pierced through the noisy mechanical sounds.

"If it's over, then... it's my turn!"

You Yang abruptly removed the card radiating divine light from the duel disk and held it high:

"Chain the effect of your [Technology-based Long-handled Blade Demolitionist]!"

"I activate the effect of [Savior Star Dragon]!"

"When your opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap/Effect Monster, you can Tribute this card to negate that activation—"

"Furthermore, destroy all cards on the opponent's field!!!"

As You Yang finished speaking, the [Savior Star Dragon] in the sky let out a roar that shook the entire universe.

Faced with the devastating barrage of [Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion], it did not choose to withstand it head-on.

A pure white starlight shield appeared out of thin air, effortlessly blocking the cannon fire that was powerful enough to shatter mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous body of the [Savior Star Dragon] transformed into billions of dazzling stardust particles, flying rapidly into the sky, as if merging into the entire starry sky, until it could no longer be seen by the naked eye!

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Kelos's eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly widened, almost splitting open at the corners.

He stared intently at the void where the [Savior Star Dragon] had disappeared, his mind going blank for a moment.

So this was You Yang's true killing move!

The ultimate trump card that can wipe out all his painstakingly built defenses and resources in an instant!

"Damn it!!!"

Kelos roared in despair in his heart.

He finally realized that the imposing [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] he had summoned earlier was nothing more than bait!

It was a ruse to force out his resistance on the field and make him lower his guard!

Youyang's true trump card has always been this [Savior Dragon]!

This is complete destruction!

It's not about targeting a single monster, but about instantly shattering all of his cards—monsters, spells, and traps!

Cold sweat instantly soaked through Kelos's back. He frantically searched his mind for ways to save his life, but the result was that there was no solution!

Although his graveyard contains [Tech Genus - Transparent Metal Skeleton], if a [Tech Genus] monster on his field is destroyed by battle or card effect, he can banish this card from the field or graveyard instead.

However... this can only be used to replace a 'destroyed' monster, not a 'about to be destroyed' monster!

Therefore... he simply cannot activate this effect!

Just as Kairos was trapped in a hopeless dead end, an unprecedented starlight shone in You Yang's eyes.

He suddenly swung his raised arm down, as if delivering the final judgment to the earth!

"Ultimate move! Meteor Sonic Strike!!!"

As You Yang's impassioned voice faded, the long-lost [Savior Star Dragon] finally revealed its true form at the top of the sky.

Its enormous body, carrying starlight powerful enough to burn everything, swooped down from the sky at an astonishing speed!

As it drew closer to the ground, its radiance shone ever brighter, and its body swelled with the wind, like a true falling meteor, crashing into Kelos's position with unparalleled destructive force!

"Boom—!!!"

Accompanied by that terrifying sonic boom, the entire space seemed to groan in agony as it could not withstand the force.

The enormous body of the [Savior Star Dragon] transformed into a meteor torrent that pierced the heavens and earth, carrying starlight capable of destroying everything, and crashed heavily into Kairos's position.

In an instant, everything in sight was swallowed up by a blinding pure white, as if even time stood still in this light.

Faced with this earth-shattering power, the "Technology" mechanical army that Kairos was so proud of and had built a sophisticated defense line for appeared so fragile and vulnerable, like withered branches and fallen leaves in a storm.

"Crack... Bang—!"

As a series of teeth-grinding metallic cracking sounds echoed throughout the arena, the technologically advanced monster bodies on the field of Kairos crumbled inch by inch under the wash of starlight.

The intricate gears and circuits twisted and melted in the high temperature, eventually turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace amidst the mournful electronic wails.

This destructive storm didn't even spare a single corner. Even the face-down cards that were originally hidden in the shadows in the back row were forcibly swept up by the raging energy turbulence and then mercilessly torn into countless fragments in mid-air by the violent stardust particles!

"Ughhhhhh—!"

Faced with the suffocating wind pressure, Kelos instinctively felt a shiver from the depths of his soul.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the button on the duel disk with almost spasmodic fingers, revealing a card.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly raised his arms to protect himself, and instinctively crouched down, trying to find a sliver of hope for survival in the heart of the raging storm!

After a long while, the light that seemed capable of evaporating everything finally dissipated slowly.

The once bustling battlefield suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Kelos slowly lowered his arm, which had gone numb and lost all feeling, and tremblingly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes looking at the front field that had once been a formidable fortress.

Now, all that remains is a desolate ruin, emitting wisps of smoke.

In the backfield, which had been swept away by the gale, only one card remained stubbornly standing amidst the mess—the [Tech Genus - Lockdown] card that remained on his field after the official chain resolution.
