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

Thinking of this, Kelos's tense nerves finally eased a little.

"Its effect can be activated again in the graveyard!"

"Regardless, we've survived this round. As long as we can get through this one..."

However, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, You Yang's voice, like a devil's whisper, once again coldly resounded throughout the entire venue:

"The defense is quite good. But—"

You Yang pointed sharply at the still-moving dragon:

"The battle is not over yet! I will use [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] to launch a direct attack on you again!"

"what?!"

The hint of relief on Kelos's face froze instantly, replaced by undisguised astonishment.

He couldn't understand why, according to conventional logic, the dragon could launch another attack even though it had already attacked.

But at this moment, the pillar of stardust representing destruction had been fully charged once again, and the scorching heat even distorted the air, giving him no time to think!

"Damn it! I'll block it one more time!"

Kelos swung his sword towards the cemetery almost reflexively:

"I activate the effect of [Kite Crew] in the graveyard!"

"Ban this card from your graveyard, and reduce your attack damage to 0 again!"

Chapter 235 The Deadly Five-Strike Combo of the Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon!

The illusory robot phantom burst forth from the vortex of the graveyard once more, transforming into a semi-transparent barrier that, at the critical moment, shielded Kelos from the fatal blow.

A burst of light erupted, and a shockwave swept across the entire arena once again.

Seeing his attack blocked once again, Kelos felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"It's over... This should finally be over..."

However, reality is often crueler than nightmares.

That ghostly voice rang out for the third time, completely calm:

"You blocked it twice? That's very persistent."

"Then—I will continue to use the [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] to launch a direct attack on you!"

At this moment, Kelos completely broke down.

"Are you kidding me?!"

He roared hysterically, his voice filled with fear and confusion, his trembling finger pointing at the giant dragon on the field:

"Why can your [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] keep attacking?!"

Faced with his opponent's collapse, You Yang simply smiled calmly. He slowly raised the Duel Disk on his left arm, a smile playing on his lips.

"That's because [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] also has an effect that you've overlooked."

"That is—in addition to its normal attack, this card can also make an additional attack with a maximum number of 'Stardust Dragon' monsters in its Graveyard and the number of Synchro Monsters whose names are listed as that card."

"Additional...attack?" Kelos's pupils shrank, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Yes."

You Yang's eyes narrowed, and the illusory image of the cemetery behind him suddenly appeared, with four majestic figures appearing and disappearing in the starlight:

"In my graveyard now, I sleep peacefully—"

"【Accelerated Synchro Stardust Dragon】!"

"【Stardust Charge Warrior】!"

"【Flash Dragon Stardust】!"

"And as the origin—the [Stardust Dragon]!"

With each name uttered by You Yang, the light emanating from the [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] grew stronger until it shone with boundless brilliance, like a star exploding.

"There are four monsters in total!"

"That means that in this round, [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] can attack four more times in addition to its original attack! A total of five attacks!!"

You Yang's voice was like the pronouncement of a final judgment:

"And now, this is only the third time!"

"Five...five times..."

Kelos stared at the scene in disbelief.

His hand trap is gone, there are no effects in the graveyard to stop Yu Yang from launching an attack, and there are no monsters on the field.

He lost!

"It's over, Kelos."

With You Yang's wave of his hand, the enormous [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] in the sky let out a roar that shook the universe. Its body instantly dispersed, transforming into two identical, dazzling phantoms—star trails that surpassed the speed of light!

"Meteor Salvation Jet Sonic Speed!"

The two beams of destruction intertwined and struck Kairos directly without any obstruction.

In the blinding light, Kelos's figure was completely swallowed up.

[Kyros: 4700 → 0]

As the electronic sound signaling the end of his life points rang out, the storm of data streams slowly subsided. You Yang stood tall on the field, the starlight behind him still shining brightly.

[Youyang: Victory!]

As Kairos's health points reached zero, the battlefield, which was originally filled with an aura of destruction, instantly underwent a strange change.

The vast starry sky, the broken mechanical wreckage, and even the lingering scorching smell in the air did not dissipate naturally like smoke, but instead transformed into countless streams of dark blue data.

These bizarre lines, like rays of light captured by a black hole, recoiled and collapsed at an astonishing speed toward the duel disk on Kelos's left arm.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before the three of them had been reset.

They returned once again to Vivian's charming little house.

You Yang looked around with some curiosity, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was just a dream.

The sunlight overhead was still warm and gentle, casting dappled light and shadow through the gaps in the leaves.

The flowers beside me still swayed in the breeze, their petals delicate and untouched by any trace of scorching.

Even the seemingly fragile red brick floor beneath our feet did not show even the slightest crack.

"So, all that commotion just now didn't actually have any impact on the real world?"

You Yang stroked his chin thoughtfully, secretly admiring the technology. This invention by Kairos, which perfectly isolates virtual images from real space while still providing duelists with an immersive experience, is indeed astonishingly valuable.

His gaze shifted, sweeping across the distance of the courtyard.

In that shadowy corner, several boys and girls, also dressed in white lab coats, were peeking around, peering at the scene.

Their eyes held a mixture of curiosity, doubt, and shock, but even more so, an undisguised fear.

Clearly, although they wanted to get closer and find out what was going on, none of them dared to take that step because of the terrifying aura emanating from the duel just now, or because of Kelos's identity.

At that moment, the defeated Kelos was sitting on the ground.

He slowly raised his head, looking at You Yang, who looked relaxed as if he had just finished warming up. The resentment in his heart gnawed at his nerves like ants.

He lost the duel.

Although the outcome is already decided, the replay in my mind keeps spinning wildly.

He clearly realized that he did not lose because of the strength of his deck, but because of his arrogant self-righteousness and ignorance of the characteristics of the Youyang deck.

"If I had used my ability to nullify [Scrap Speed ​​Booster] the moment it took effect when You Yang summoned it..."

"If I unleash all my hand-pocket resources when the [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] launches its attack..."

"If only we could know in advance all the hidden effects of his monsters..."

"if……"

Kelos shook his head with a wry smile, the fervor in his eyes gradually cooling.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in the world of duels.

Moreover, he was well aware that You Yang didn't know much about his [Tech Genus] deck either.

All the responses and solutions were devised by the opponent through astonishing intuition and experience in the ever-changing battlefield.

This is the difference in strength.

A loss is a loss, and any excuse is just a fig leaf for the weak.

Having figured this out, Kelos took a deep breath, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and slowly stood up.

He didn't pay attention to the dust on his clothes, but straightened his back and looked directly at You Yang.

You Yang also quietly looked back at him.

Those dark eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet crystal clear—there was no condescending sarcasm from the victor, no smugness after defeating a powerful enemy, and not a trace of mockery directed at him, the defeated opponent.

There was only tranquility.

There was a calmness in those eyes, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an ordinary exchange of skills.

This silent gaze caused Kelos's prepared defensive stance to crumble instantly.

"I lost."

Kylos's voice was a little hoarse, but he tried to keep his tone steady:

"I will no longer object to anything concerning you. I apologize for any offense or disturbance I may have caused. Goodbye."

Having said that, Kelos turned and left without the slightest hesitation. Though his steps were somewhat heavy, he still maintained his last shred of dignity.

Walking along the path, Kelos felt a mix of emotions.

He discovered that, in front of You Yang, he couldn't even utter a single harsh word to save face.
