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

[Twin Star Taoist Priest of the Heavenly Wheel] [2 Stars]

[Light/Synchro/Tuner/Fairy Race] [Attack: 100 / Defense: 800]

Chapter 316 The Power of the Red Dragon! Surpassing Liutian, Touching the Light of Salvation! Liutian Salvation Star Dragon!

After reviving [Twin Star Taoist of the Heavenly Wheel] once again, You Yang did not hesitate at all and slammed a magic card into the Duel Disk's field area.

"Next, I activate the Field Spell Card from my hand—[Black Garden]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless thick, dark green thorns covered with sharp spikes burst forth from the virtual ground beneath You Yang's feet as if they were alive.

They spread and intertwined at an extremely fast speed, instantly swallowing up the flat path created by the original [Synchronous World] and forcibly dragging the entire sky into a strange and oppressive thorny jungle.

The site had barely been completed when You Yang finished speaking!

"Next, I activated the hidden effect of [Strike Blackwing - May Rain's Speedy Blade Bird] in the graveyard!"

"During your Main Phase of the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can banish 1 other 'Assault Blackwing - May Rain' from your Graveyard to activate this effect."

"Special Summon this card."

With a wave of his hand, You Yang mercilessly sent a card that had popped out of the graveyard flying into the void.

"I Special Summon another [Strike Blackwing - Mayrain's Slashing Bladebird] from my Graveyard!"

A violent flash of lightning shone once more in the dark abyss of the graveyard, and the black-feathered birdman wielding a katana descended fiercely into this thorny garden, facing the deep black light.

【Strike Blackwing - May Rain's Speedy Blade Bird】【5 Stars】

[Dark/Synchronization/Bird/Beast Race] [Attack: 1500 / Defense: 2000]

Just as the blackbird landed, You Yang's cold voice suddenly rang out!

"At this very moment, the effect of the Field Spell Card [Black Garden] will be forcibly activated!"

"Each time a monster is Summoned or Special Summoned face-up except for the effect of [Black Garden], this effect is activated."

"The monsters' attack power has been halved."

"After that, the controller must Special Summon 1 'Rose Token' (Plant/DARK/Level 2/ATK 800/DEF 800) to the opponent's field in Attack Position."

Swish-!

Before You Yang could finish speaking, the thick black thorns around him, like venomous snakes that had smelled blood, suddenly sprang up and cruelly wrapped around and pierced the body of the [Strike Blackfeather - May Rain's Swift Blade Bird].

The blackbird let out a painful cry, forced to kneel in the thorn bushes.

On the field: [Strike Blackwing - May Rain's Swift Blade Bird] [Attack: 1500 → 750 / Defense: 2000]

At the same time, a dark rose exuding an eerie aura quietly bloomed on the Queen of Hearts' field, transforming into a mindless thorn monster.

On the Queen of Hearts field: [Rose Derivative] [2 Stars]

[Dark/Plant Race] [Attack: 800 / Defense: 800]

"You'd rather forcibly reduce the attack power of your own monster just to Special Summon this useless token to my field... What are you trying to do?!"

"Are they trying to block my space?!"

The Queen of Hearts stared intently at You Yang's bizarre actions and finally couldn't help but roar out in anger.

But hidden in her shrill voice was a tremor and fear that she herself was unaware of.

Since gaining self-awareness, the Queen of Hearts has always regarded herself as an absolute god.

In this era of highly developed internet information, she can freely invade anyone's mobile phone or computer as if it were her own territory, and ruthlessly steal their most critical data.

Those things that people outwardly like, those things they fear deep down, or those dark pasts that cannot be brought to light, are all laid bare before her.

She was used to having leverage over others, catering to their desires, and enticing them with benefits, manipulating them like puppets to make them willingly serve her.

She can even know the deck building that duelists cherish and the counter cards they fear most through her massive data stream.

What humans consider a secret notebook is, in her eyes, no different from being made public.

With this almost omniscient and omnipotent data power, she is basically an all-powerful ruler in the virtual world!

No! She is not some virtual program at all; she is the real god of this internet age!

That's why she orchestrated this conspiracy that could overturn everything—forcibly pulling the consciousness of all humanity into this virtual world.

If the plan succeeds, the virtual world will completely replace reality as the new dominant world, while reality will be nothing more than an empty shell to be discarded.

At that time, she will be the only and eternal true god in this new world!

However, before the Queen of Hearts could recover from her arrogant and morbid delusion of the gods, You Yang's emotionless voice, like a sharp knife, pulled her back to the battle!

"I activate the effect of [Wheel Synchronizer] in the graveyard!"

"You can banish this card from your graveyard and then target 1 Synchro Monster you control to activate this effect."

"That monster's level will drop by a maximum of 4 stars."

You Yang's fingertip suddenly pointed to the cosmic dragon in mid-air that was radiating endless starlight.

"I activate this skill targeting the [Cosmic Transformation Dragon] on the field!"

"Forcibly lower its level by one star!"

Om-!

With the engine roaring at high speed, the red Synchron phantom, which had already been sent to the graveyard, sped past the massive dragon body of the [Cosmic Transformation Dragon] like a red lightning bolt.

Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sound, it forcefully carried away the most brilliant star above the Radiant Dragon's body.

[Cosmic Solar Transformation Dragon] [12 Stars → 11 Stars]

"Then open your eyes wide and witness the true power of the legendary [Red Dragon]!"

You Yang suddenly raised his head, and in his deep eyes, two balls of crimson-gold holy flames had completely boiled and burned to their extreme!

"I activate the effect of [Red Dragon]!" You Yang's voice was like a divine oracle piercing through the clouds.

"You can activate this effect by targeting 1 Level 7 or higher Synchro Monster on the field, except for [Red Dragon]".

"Return this card to the Extra Deck, and Special Summon 1 Dragon Synchro Monster of the same Level as the targeted monster from the Extra Deck as a Synchro Summon!"

You Yang's arm slashed forward like a sharp sword, and crimson flames were ignited!

"I'm targeting the [Cosmic Degenerate Dragon], which was just forcibly downgraded!"

Return the deity [Red Dragon] from the field to the Extra Deck!

"Synch Summon a Level 11 Dragon Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck!"

Roar--!

As You Yang announced this, the [Red Dragon] hovering in mid-air raised its head and let out a vast dragon roar that shook the universe.

An extremely dazzling pure golden light surged wildly from its body, instantly covering its enormous, incomparably crimson body.

Amidst the deafening roar of energy, the dazzling golden light rapidly expanded in mid-air, transforming into massive, synchronized halos large enough to encircle the stars.

The once invincible and majestic body of the Red Dragon collapsed amidst the intersecting halos of light, transforming into eleven bright and dazzling stars, as blazing as the sun!

At the same time, a blank card with a white border materialized out of thin air in You Yang's tightly clenched hand once again.

As You Yang's high-pitched voice rang out, the supreme divine power contained in the eleven stars in mid-air poured into the blank card like a cascading waterfall of the Milky Way!

Ancient and sacred patterns instantly appear on the card surface!

"When countless stars converge in the heart, their brilliance surpassing that of the individual, weaving an unprecedented bond, the path ahead will shine brightly before us!"

You Yang held the completely transformed card high in the air, and the wind made his robes flutter loudly!

"Break through the boundaries of space and time with the light of accelerated synchronization!"

"Beyond the Flowing Heaven, Touching the Light of Salvation—Synchronization Summon!"

"Descend! [Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon]!"

Snapped!

The cards slammed down!

Rumble—!

The oppressive space covered by dark thorns seemed to be forcibly expanded and filled in an instant by an extremely sacred and solemn aura.

At You Yang's hoarse shout, the energy of the cards on the Duel Disk was completely detonated, turning into a beam of light a hundred times brighter than the first rays of dawn, tearing apart the virtual sky and illuminating the entire silent battlefield!

Deep within that dazzling light, a pure white dragon-shaped creature slowly descended, accompanied by ethereal dragon roars.

Its body was covered by a layer of pure white armor scales, as white as the first snow. Its surface was like the finest diamond, reflecting dazzling starlight outwards, as if the brilliance of the entire universe had been concentrated on this body.

With each breath and movement, tiny, dense stardust bursts forth from between its scales, leaving dazzling trails in the air like shooting stars.

Behind it, a pair of enormous, shimmering wings suddenly unfolded.

Those were not ordinary dragon wings at all, but were constructed entirely of translucent high-dimensional energy crystals. With just a slight flap, they were as if a vast nebula scroll was forcibly unfolded above everyone's heads.

The edges of its wings were tightly wrapped with tangible blue-green wind elemental strands, which transformed into raging spirals of air that fiercely protected its entire body.

Its powerful limbs were covered with thick, cold silver armor, like that of a knight, and at the very center of the joints of the armor, a red energy core radiating terrifying fluctuations was prominently embedded.

This is the ultimate dragon of the Synchro Dimension!

[Flowing Sky Savior Star Dragon] [11 Stars]

[Wind/Synchronize/Dragon] [Attack: 4000 / Defense: 3300]

A violent stardust storm swept across the entire area, forcing the Queen of Hearts to grip her scepter tightly before she could barely maintain her footing.

Through the gaps between her fingers, she gazed in utter horror at the pure white savior dragon suspended in mid-air.

Although this monster's level was reduced to only 11 stars due to the previous reduction, the terrifying pressure emanating from its massive body was enough to stop the heart of an ordinary duelist...

Yet it was not even slightly weaker than those two 12-star ultimate dragons, the [Meteor Quasar Dragon] and the [Cosmic Radiant Dragon]!

But soon, the Queen of Hearts seemed to have keenly sensed something; her scarlet eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately raised her voice triumphantly:

"But at that very moment, the effect of your area spell [Black Garden] will activate!"

"Your [Savior Star Dragon]'s attack power will be reduced by half, and I will have one more 'Rose Token' on my field!"

"This effect is inevitable!"
