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

Gu Qingyuan's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Before he could react, two identical cyan-green data rays had already crossed the distance of the battlefield and mercilessly pierced through the two life-saving cards that Gu Qingyuan was tightly holding in his hand!

at the same time.

Roar--!

On the other side, accompanied by a low roar from the Primordial God, a pure black beam of chaotic light shot out silently, carrying the power to devour everything, and once again pierced through Gu Qingyuan's remaining card.

In an instant, three cards were discarded!

This terrifying power to suppress the enemy and destroy resources is enough to make any duelist feel a deep sense of despair.

Seeing his opponent's resources dwindle instantly, You Yang simply waved his hand nonchalantly, and the relentless offensive continued once more:

"The chain reaction has just been resolved. Now, it's time for the cards I sent to the graveyard to activate their effects!"

"The effect of [Absolute Router Dragon] is activated!"

"This card can be activated whenever it is sent to the Graveyard."

"From the depths of your deck, add 1 'Bullet' monster to your hand."

You Yang's slender fingers swept across the duel disk, and amidst a precise shuffling sound, he decisively drew a card that gleamed with a cold light:

"I'm adding [Bullet Trace Dragon] to my hand from my deck!"

Chapter 354 Nightmare: The Mirage Tower and the Extraordinary Food

A fierce wind howled across the scorched battlefield. You Yang's eyes were sharp as he steadily picked up the cards that popped out of his deck with his slender fingers.

His eyes revealed an unwavering determination as he slammed the weapon heavily onto the monster zone of the Duel Disk without hesitation.

"Don't forget, I haven't performed a normal summon this turn yet."

He declared in a booming voice, "Therefore, I hereby summon the [Shooting Light Dragon] in my hand!"

Accompanied by a dull mechanical grinding sound, a huge phantom of a revolver appeared in the void, and its heavy cylinder began to spin rapidly.

boom!

With a deafening gunshot, a huge bullet emitting a high-heat red light was suddenly fired, and with the force of piercing the air, it finally came to a steady stop in mid-air in front of You Yang.

In the instant it stopped, the red bullet casing began to violently reassemble and deform.

With a clang of metal clashing, the bullet's sides suddenly expanded outwards, transforming into a pair of heavily armored mechanical arms, and behind it, a long, barbed dragon tail extended outwards.

A massive steel dragon, exuding the smell of gunpowder and the cold texture of metal, suddenly appeared on Youyang's defensive line!

【Shooting Light Dragon】【4-Star】

[Dark/Adjusted/Dragon Race] [Attack: 1600 / Defense: 1000]

You Yang waved his hand, pointing directly at the mechanical dragon that had just appeared: "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Bullet Tracer Dragon]!"

"You can activate this effect by targeting 1 face-up card on your field during your turn or your opponent's turn."

"Destroy that card, then Special Summon 1 'Bullet' monster from your Deck, except 'Bullet Trace Dragon'."

"However, as a trade-off, once this effect is activated, non-DARK monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck until the end of this turn."

You Yang's gaze turned cold as he suddenly pointed at the colossal figure on his field, emanating an aura of chaos:

"I will destroy the [Primordial Chaos Dragon Vortex] on the field!"

Special Summon [Bullet Loader Dragon] from your Deck!

boom!

Another crisp gunshot rang out across the battlefield.

The towering body of the [Primordial God of the Chaotic Dragon Vortex] began to disintegrate under the baptism of gunfire, turning into chaotic light fragments that slowly dissipated into nothingness.

Where it originally stood, a flash of light appeared, and in its place appeared a mechanical dragon that was also reconstructed and transformed from a huge bullet, with a heavy drum of bullets on its abdomen.

[Dragon with Bullet Loading] [4 Stars]

[Dark/Dragon Race] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 2100]

You Yang's eyes were sharp as knives. "Then, I used a Level 4 Tuner monster, [Bullet Tracer], to perform Synchro Tuning with a Level 4 [Bullet Loader]!"

Before he finished speaking, You Yang had already drawn a card from the extra deck that exuded an astonishing aura.

The moment the card was drawn, a suffocatingly strong energy fluctuation suddenly surged out of nowhere on the devastated battlefield!

This violent dark energy swept across the entire dueling arena like a hurricane, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment, becoming so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Braving the storm, You Yang slammed down the card in his hand!

"Heroic dragon, unleash those ferocious fangs as bullets!"

"Synchron Summon! Appear, Level 8!"

"【Loading Barrel Savage Dragon】!"

Two bullet-shaped monsters transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, intertwining in mid-air to form two dazzling green halos.

Deep within that halo, a massive revolver cylinder, exuding a cold, metallic feel, appeared out of thin air and began to spin wildly at high speed, accompanied by a teeth-grinding mechanical click!

Countless violent blue energy lines burst forth from the gaps in the wheel, rapidly outlining, intertwining, and covering the void like streaking lightning.

Finally, amidst a deafening roar, a ferocious dragon, its entire body covered in pure white high-strength armor and its wide wings constantly flashing with blue destructive lightning, crashed onto Youyang's position!

[Loading Barrel Ferocious Dragon] [8-Star] [Dark/Dragon] [Attack: 3000 / Defense: 2500]

"I'll activate the [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] entrance effect immediately!"

You Yang pointed his finger directly at the white dragon, "This card can only be activated if it is successfully Synchro Summoned!"

“Choose a Link Monster from my Graveyard, equip it to this card as an Equip Card.”

"Furthermore, based on the number of Link Markers possessed by the equipped Link Monster, place a corresponding number of 'Barrel Counters' on this card!"

The graveyard area of ​​the Yu Yang Duel Disk glowed with a ghostly light: "I will transform the [Triple Shot Dragon] that is sleeping in the graveyard into the weaponry of this giant dragon, and equip [Loader Barrel Savage Dragon] with it!"

"Because the Link value of [Triple Shot Dragon] is 3, the chamber of [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] will be filled with a total of 3 barrel indicators!"

Roar--!

The mechanically-looking phantom of the [Three-Shot Dragon] roared out of the graveyard accompanied by bursts of lightning, rapidly disintegrating in mid-air and transforming into a dazzling stream of light that fiercely merged into the steel body of the [Loading Barrel Ferocious Dragon].

With a dull mechanical locking sound, three blue high-density energy indicators, like heavy bullets, were precisely loaded into the ammunition chambers on both sides of its body, flashing with a deadly eerie light!

"Next, the other effect of [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] will also apply!"

You Yang's voice sounded even more authoritative in the strong wind, "This card's attack power will increase by half the attack power of the monster equipped by this card's effect!"

"The original attack power of the [Triple Shot Dragon] is 2400 points. Therefore, the [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] will receive the power boost, increasing its attack power by 1200 points!"

Om-!

A terrifyingly powerful energy surged wildly from the merged phantom of the equipment. The [Loading Barrel Ferocious Dragon] roared to the sky, shattering the clouds. The blue lightning surrounding its body suddenly surged, and its terrifying oppressive aura rose again!

[Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] [Attack: 4200 / Defense: 2500]

Without pausing, You Yang flicked a card from his hand: "Then, I activate the effect of the monster in my hand—[Bullet-Exploding Dragon]!"

"If you control a Dragon-Type DARK Link Monster, this card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand, ignoring the normal Summoning conditions."

"Descend, I will Special Summon it!"

As You Yang slammed the card heavily onto the duel disk, a blinding light suddenly shone from the sky.

A colossal mechanical dragon, its entire body covered in thick, purplish-blue metallic scales, descended from the sky like a meteorite, accompanied by a deafening series of explosions, crashing heavily onto the scorched ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

It raised its ferocious mechanical dragon head high, its pair of electronic eyes, emitting a ghostly glow, staring intently ahead.

The thick, sharp metal claws dug deep into the hard ground, leaving several horrifying cracks.

On its broad back and thick joints, several high-powered energy jets were frantically spewing out scorching blue flames. Accompanied by the deep roar of its engines, the entire dragon resembled a heavy mobile arsenal built for destruction, radiating a suffocating and violent sense of oppression from every angle.

[Dragon Ball Detonation] [7 Stars]

[Dragon/Dark/Effect]

Attack: 1800 / Defense: 2500

"Next, I opened the backcourt card!"

"Activate the Normal Spell Card - [Ruthless Annihilation]!"

"Activate by selecting 1 monster you control as the cost."

"Send the selected monster of your own to the Graveyard. In exchange, your opponent must also send 1 random card from their hand to the Graveyard!"

You Yang's gaze was icy. "I'll send the [Bullet-Exploding Dragon] that just appeared on the field straight to the graveyard!"

"As a burial offering, send one more card from your hand to the grave!"

Roar--!

[Dragon Bullet] let out a deafening wail, and its massive mechanical body instantly disintegrated and merged under the pull of magical power, ultimately transforming into an incomparably sharp dark blade of light.

The blade's edge tore through the void, accompanied by a whistling wind, and cleanly and decisively severed one of the two cards that Gu Qingyuan was tightly clutching in his hand!

Gu Qingyuan, who was already strapped for cash, looked at the last thin card in his hand. His pale face turned ashen, and the muscles on his face even twitched slightly with anger and frustration.

However, You Yang had no intention of giving up. He swung his hand back, and the last face-down card on the field was flipped over in the storm!

"Finally, I opened the face-down card and activated the Continuous Spell Card—[Nightmare Mirage]!"

An ancient magic card depicting a strange castle and mist appeared in mid-air, emitting a mesmerizing glow.

After doing all this, You Yang's tense shoulders finally relaxed a little. He coldly stared at his nemesis in front of him and calmly announced, "Alright, I'm ending my round."

"Now, it's your turn."

Upon hearing You Yang utter the word "end," Gu Qingyuan felt as if the huge weight on his chest had suddenly lifted, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This one-sided suppression, which felt like a violent storm, has finally come to an end.

As long as he can safely transition to his turn, he will definitely be able to find a way to turn the tide!

Even if things don't go perfectly, it can at least buy us some more time.
