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

"Is this such a severe negative self-restraint, one of the effects inherent to monsters?"

Gu Qingyuan was secretly making plans in his heart.

Since such a strong lockdown is required as a price, just how powerful and domineering must the remaining effect of this card be to warrant You Yang's decision to summon it at such a crucial moment that determines life and death?

You Yang didn't leave Gu Qingyuan wondering for long. A confident smile played on his lips as he gave the answer in a booming voice:

"Its second effect is..."

"It can only be activated during its main phase."

"Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Extra Deck to your Extra Monster Zone or your field, where it is connected to 2 or more Link Monsters, without conditions!"

Buzz—click click click!

As You Yang finished speaking, the Guardian Dragon Agapein on the field suddenly raised its long neck and let out a shrill screech that was enough to shatter eardrums.

Its deep purple wings trembled wildly in the gale, and the red connecting arrows running vertically were like two high-precision laser beams, forcibly burning out a dark red crosshair that was radiating terrifying heat on the scorched ground in front of Youyang!

A fierce wind howled wildly behind You Yang, whipping up sand and stones everywhere.

With a crisp click like a live bullet being chambered, You Yang's eyes sharpened as he slammed his ace down onto the duel disk!

"My heroic spirit will bury this closed world!"

"Unleash your unparalleled destructive power here!"

"Link Summon! Link-5!"

"Show yourself, [Forehead Gun Barrel Dragon]!"

Click—Boom!

Deep within the spatial rift that Agapine had ripped apart, the roar of flesh and blood that could be heard was no longer that of an ordinary dragon, but a dull and oppressive mechanical rumble, like the closing of a giant revolver cylinder!

Immediately afterwards, a huge and ferocious mechanical dragon head emerged forcefully from the abyss rift.

Its entire body is covered with black and gray composite armor with a cold metallic luster, and a dark red aura with a dangerous aura is shimmering on its streamlined steel body.

Its wings are like two fiercely spread heavy ship-slaying swords, their sharpness fully revealed.

Below its ferocious dragon head, and running through its entire chest cavity, is a massive mechanical revolver magazine that slowly rotates with each heavy breath!

"Hiss—Bang!!"

The [fore-barreled dragon] let out a terrifying roar that intertwined with the deafening roar of cannon fire.

As the revolver cylinder on his chest spun violently, a tangible, dark red, high-pressure air wave burst outwards in a visible ring, shattering the surrounding viscous abyssal aura.

Its heavy, barbed steel claws slammed down on the scorched ground, sending sparks flying everywhere.

[Forestock Barrel Dragon] [Link-5]

[Dark/Connection/Dragon] [Arrows: Up/Left/Right/Bottom Left/Bottom Right] [Attack Power: 3500]

After the shocking summoning ended, You Yang remained calm. He then decisively inserted another card into the Spell & Trap slot on the edge of the Duel Disk.

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of colorful light rose from the ground to You Yang's right.

A miniature dragon phantom, tightly wrapped in crystal, floated in mid-air, and above the dragon, a dazzling number flashed – “1”!

"I'm setting the [End Dragon Chaos Emperor] in my hand to the Pendulum Zone!"

Upon hearing this announcement, everyone present gasped in shock.

The [End Dragon Chaos Emperor] that You Yang was holding tightly in his hand was actually a pendulum monster!

Under the shocked and bewildered gazes of the crowd, You Yang did not stop his actions and continued to shout:

"I will immediately activate the pendulum effect of [Final Dragon Chaos Emperor]!"

"This can only be activated by paying 1000 Life Points as a price, targeting one of your own Dragon-type monsters outside the zone."

"This card will be destroyed, and the targeted monster will be added back to my hand!"

A sharp light burst from You Yang's fingertips: "I'll use the [Primordial God of Chaos Dragon Vortex] that I just sent into the exclusion zone as my target and activate this effect!"

"Destroy the [End Dragon Chaos Emperor] in the Pendulum Zone, then add the Primordial God to my hand!"

Snap! Boom!

As You Yang's words fell heavily, the colorful pendulum beam shattered violently with a loud bang, turning into streams of light that filled the sky.

The void was forcibly torn open again by the pull of that chaotic power, and a card flew out with a whooshing sound. You Yang stretched out two fingers and caught it between his fingers with perfect precision and elegance.

"Furthermore, according to the rules of Pendulum Summoning, the destroyed [End Dragon Chaos Emperor] will not go to the Graveyard, but will be sent directly to my Extra Deck!"

You Yang stared coldly at Gu Qingyuan, his movements without the slightest pause. He swiftly and decisively drew a card from his hand and slammed it into the Spell & Trap slot of the Duel Disk.

"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell Card directly from my hand—[Star Relic Guardian Dragon]!"

You Yang's clear voice resonated above the ruins.

"Based on the effect of this card when it is activated, you can target 1 Level 4 or lower Dragon monster in your Graveyard."

"Add it to your hand, or Special Summon it to the field unconditionally!"

You Yang's gaze was sharp as he pointed directly at his own cemetery area.

"I choose to Special Summon the [Eclipse Pteranodon] that is sleeping in the Graveyard!"

boom!

As blinding, holy starlight exploded on the scorched earth, a burst of blazing flames suddenly surged, and the pterosaur covered in crimson scales roared once more, soaring into the sky and landing steadily in front of You Yang.

[Eclipse Pterosaur] [4 stars]

[Dragon/Light/Effect] [Attack: 1600 / Defense: 1000]

You Yang suddenly raised his arm, and the light array representing the future circuit in mid-air once again roared out!

"Next, I will convert the three monsters on the field, namely [Eclipse Wyvern], [Guardian Dragon Agapein], and [Guardian Dragon Visti], into guiding data and set them into the link marker!"

"Three intertwined beams of destructive light pierced through all false and impenetrable defenses!"

"Before the final destruction arrives, transform into a merciless mechanical tyrannosaurus that tears apart the laws of all things!"

"Link Summon!"

"Roar, Link-3—[Triple Shot Dragon]!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar of machinery that could shatter eardrums, a mechanical dragon-shaped weapon, exuding cold, functional aesthetics and a terrifying sense of heavy firepower, suddenly stomped on the wildly dancing yellow-green lightning and crashed to the ground from the connection circuit in the sky, smashing a large area of ​​scorched earth!

A series of precise and cold metallic grinding sounds echoed continuously from its massive body, which was completely covered by thick armor that was visually striking, with crimson and black colors interwoven together.

Accompanied by the violent roar of its internal engine, four energy wings made of high-density condensed bright green high-energy particles suddenly unfolded behind it. The wings, like sharp jade blades, ruthlessly cut through the thick gloom that permeated the battlefield.

At the top of its mechanical dragon head, a tactical sniper scope with a brass luster is mounted coldly.

The high-precision optical lens overhead, emitting a chilling blue light, instantly locked onto Gu Qingyuan's defensive formation amidst a series of mechanical turning sounds.

What's chilling is that, directly in front of its broad chest cavity, three thick, black, heavy metal barrels, emanating a deadly smell of gunpowder smoke, are arranged in a perfect "品" (pin) shape, pointing directly at the prey like the muzzle of death's gun.

[Triple Shot Dragon] [LINK-3] [Dark/Link/Dragon] [Attack Power: 2400] [Link Marker: Up/Left/Down]

"At that very moment, the effect of the [Eclipse Pteranodon], which was sent to the graveyard as a linking material, was triggered again!"

You Yang loudly proclaimed, "From the depths of my deck, I banish [Absolute Route Dragon]!"

As a card from the deck transformed into a stream of light and was once again thrown into the void of the banished space, You Yang's face was cold and his movements did not pause at all. He stretched out his hand and elegantly drew a card from the top of the Extra Deck.

A deep starlight, imbued with the aura of ancient chaos, suddenly shone at his fingertips. You Yang's eyes sharpened, and he flipped the card in his hand face up!

"The prelude to the end of death has already begun on the battlefield; the shattered remains of light and darkness will become the supreme foundation for building chaos!"

You Yang chanted loudly, "I will immediately activate the monster effect of [End Dragon Chaos Emperor]!"

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned once per turn, except by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard as a cost!"

You Yang raised the card in his hand high, and his graveyard began to churn and boil violently.

Two diametrically opposed and irreconcilable terrifying forces were forcibly drawn out by invisible chains!

One was a sacred stream of light, radiating a dim, yellowish glow like a solar eclipse; the other was a deep, dark vortex capable of swallowing up the entire starry sky.

They were ruthlessly stripped from the remains of the [Eclipse Pterosaur] and [Dark Dragon Collapse Star Serpent], which were sleeping in the cemetery.

"I will exclude the [Eclipse Pterosaur] and [Dark Dragon Collapse Star Serpent] from the graveyard!"

A frenzied fighting spirit flashed in You Yang's eyes, "At this cost, summon it using a special technique!"

These two domineering forces entangled and collided violently in mid-air. Instead of gently merging, they tore open a terrifying rift leading to an unknown chaotic realm amidst this intense conflict of attributes.

Inside that crack lies a chaotic abyss where even the most basic concepts of light and darkness have become blurred, and all things have returned to a state of deathly silence.

"From the endless abyss where all things meet their end, reveal your terrifying form that reigns supreme over the end to this shattered world!"

You Yang pointed straight to the sky, "Special Summon! Descend, Level 8! [The End Dragon Chaos Emperor]!!"

As the external forces violently tore through the void, a deep, dark rift, seemingly capable of devouring souls, suddenly opened outwards in the center of the dueling arena, unleashing pure chaotic energy like a waterfall.

Immediately following, accompanied by a chilling dragon roar, a colossal dragon body forcefully broke free from the crack, descending upon the world with a suffocating sense of oppression.

It was a giant azure dragon, its entire body covered in a layer of golden scales, and its enormous purple wings flapped behind it, stirring up gusts of wind!

【The Final Dragon Chaos Emperor】

[Dragon/Dark/Level 8/Special Summon/Effect]

Attack Power: 3000 / Defense Power: 2500

Chapter 353 Two-Card Chain, Instantly Cutting Off Three Hands! Topology Tampering Infected Dragon!

As the great evil god dissipated, the opening and closing of the underworld slowly closed at this moment.

Even through the broken sky, faint rays of light shone down, making Youyang's face appear cold and majestic in the dim light.

His clear voice was like a sharp blade cutting through the chaos: "Next, based on the effect of [Eclipse Wyvern], I will add the previously banished [Absolute Route Dragon] to my hand!"

As a streak of light streaked across the sky, a card landed steadily in You Yang's palm.

At the same time, his fingertips danced rapidly across the Duel Disk, and with a crisp electronic sound, a card from the Extra Deck was launched and hovered in front of him.

The moment the card that popped out of You Yang's extra deck flashed with a dazzling blue light, Gu Qingyuan, who was standing some distance away, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He keenly noticed that the virtual world, which had been violently turbulent and on the verge of collapse due to the energy outburst, had inexplicably and eerily calmed down!
