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

Although, he only has one pitiful card left in his hand.

Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and slowly placed his trembling hand on the top of the deck.

His eyes, which had initially appeared somewhat panicked due to the constant depletion of resources, gradually regained their usual calm and ruthlessness the moment he touched the deck.

After all, those long years of struggling in another world and countless life-or-death crises were not spent in vain!

"My turn!"

"Draw a card!"

Gu Qingyuan let out a hoarse shout, and with a forceful flick of his fingertips, he pulled a card from the top of the deck.

He eagerly turned his gaze to the card in his hand, and a barely perceptible glint flashed in his cold eyes.

Excellent! There's always a way out. This is a great card that can break the deadlock!

However, before the cold smile of renewed hope could bloom on his lips, You Yang's clear, nightmarish voice had already reached his ears on the wind.

"Right at this very moment when your preparation phase begins!"

You Yang waved his hand, pointing directly at the magic card shrouded in mist in mid-air.

"The effect of the Continuous Spell Card - Nightmare Mirage has activated!"

"During the opponent's preparation phase, you can draw cards from your deck until you have four cards in your hand."

As the magic cards were activated, eerie gray mist swirled and billowed from Youyang's duel disk.

The mist transformed into invisible tentacles, drawing four cards from the top of Youyang's deck.

You Yang reached out with his long, slender fingers in mid-air and caught the four cards, placing them steadily into his palm.

Seeing You Yang's hand of cards replenished again, Gu Qingyuan first frowned, but then, as if he had seen through something, a contemptuous sneer appeared on his lips.

"Heh, just a way to replenish your hand?"

"This little trick looks so familiar!"

Gu Qingyuan coldly mocked, "The last face-down card in your back row that hasn't been revealed, could it be that quick-play spell card—[Extraordinary Food]?"

In his view, this outdated tactic is hardly a new secret in the world of duels.

Over the years, he had seen many self-important duelists use this move.

The reason is simple: although the card 【Nightmare of the Mirage】 can replenish a large number of cards in your hand, its negative follow-up effect requires the user to randomly discard the same number of cards as they draw during their standby phase.

The only way to avoid this fatal side effect is to forcibly destroy [Nightmare Mirage] with another card before the penalty effect takes effect.

In this way, you not only get the benefit of drawing cards for free, but you also don't have to send your hand cards to the graveyard.

The Quick-Play Spell Card 【Extraordinary Food】 is the perfect match for it.

Its effect is that you can send any number of Spell/Trap Cards other than this card to the Graveyard to activate it.

Then, you can recover 1000 Life Points for each card sent to the Graveyard as a result of this card's activation.

You can exchange two cards for four beginner cards and also gain an extra 1,000 life points.

This kind of win-win deal is undoubtedly a sure-fire way to make a killing.

However, faced with Gu Qingyuan's self-righteous exposure, You Yang, standing quietly in the storm, simply shook his head dismissively.

Undeniably, this is a Fusion deck that easily consumes a lot of hand resources during its operation.

While Jaden Yuki's deck has built-in standard card draw methods like Elemental HERO Bubble Fighter, it also inevitably includes many additional powerful card draw combinations like this one.

The classic combination of 【Nightmare of the Mirage】 and 【Extraordinary Food】 is a very famous and practical set.

You Yang's deck did indeed contain the quick-attack spell card "Extraordinary Food," but he hadn't managed to draw it during the card draw and filtering process just now.

However, for You Yang at this moment, whether or not he drew [Extraordinary Food] was no longer important.

Chapter 355 With your supreme glory, bring me the final victory!

A gentle breeze brushed across You Yang's forehead. His eyes were calm as still water as he glanced indifferently at the four cards he had just acquired.

The specific effects printed on these four cards are completely irrelevant to his subsequent tactics.

There is only one truly important key point—that at this very moment, he actually holds a substantial amount of cards in his hand!

You Yang suddenly waved his hand, and the graveyard area of ​​the Duel Disk suddenly burst out with a strong and dazzling data light!

"I activate the effect of [Link Kuriboh] in the graveyard!"

He announced loudly.

"During your or your opponent's turn, if this card is in the Graveyard, you can Tribute 1 Level 1 monster you control to activate this effect."

"This card will be Special Summoned."

You Yang pointed his finger at the surging gray-white mist on the field: "I will release the [Steam Derivatives] on the field!"

"Special Summon it!"

The dazzling data light instantly devoured and decomposed all the [steam derivatives] that had formed from the cloud of mist on the field.

Accompanied by cheerful electronic sound effects, a small, all-black figure with a touch of cyberpunk playfulness gracefully leaped onto Youyang's field once again, accompanied by a stream of light.

[Connect the Kuriboh] [Link-1 [↓]]

[Dark/Connection/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 300]

Seeing You Yang's actions, Gu Qingyuan, standing opposite him, frowned slightly, momentarily unable to understand You Yang's intentions.

But in the next instant, he was horrified to discover that the massive steel dragon on the field, which had just destroyed two of his cards, was once again glowing with that eerie green light on its cold armor!

Gu Qingyuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. However, before he could react, You Yang's cold voice rang out like a death knell in the storm!

"It's this very moment!"

You Yang's eyes were sharp as knives.

"Due to the Special Summon of the monster within the Link Zone, the effect of [Topology Tampering Infected Dragon] has been triggered once again!"

"Randomly destroy two of my cards!"

Without a second thought, You Yang declared, "As punishment, I will also destroy two of your cards!"

boom!

Four beams of cyan-green data, filled with deadly virus code, shot violently out from the mechanical dragon's body, mercilessly piercing and shattering all the cards held tightly in the hands of both sides with overwhelming force!

"you are vicious!"

Gu Qingyuan gritted his teeth, his face contorted with extreme frustration.

In fact, he wasn't entirely without the ability to resist or struggle with the cards he had left.

But he knew perfectly well that there was no point in putting up any resistance now.

Because he was well aware of the terrifying effect of the [Loading Barrel Ferocious Dragon] on Youyang Field.

That was a monster with the overwhelming power of the noble three-color Kang, even if he forcibly played his hand now.

In an attempt to nullify the destructive effect of [Topology-Tampering Infected Dragon], You Yang will inevitably activate the effect of [Loading Barrel Savage Dragon] immediately to nullify his nullification.

Unless both cards in his hand can negate the monster's effect.

Even so, a new problem will arise.

That is, even if you use two cards to negate the effects of Yu Yang's monsters, Yu Yang's graveyard is still cleared.

He has no cards left in his hand.

So no matter how much he does, it's all in vain and meaningless. In this round of confrontation, he has indeed lost.

But it doesn't matter, Gu Qingyuan sneered inwardly. This is just one game!

"I'm ending my round!"

Gu Qingyuan forced out those words through gritted teeth.

Given the current disastrous situation, he could actually just raise his hand and concede defeat, immediately starting the next round of the deathmatch.

However, Gu Qingyuan believed that it was unnecessary.

His core tactic was to stall for time as much as possible, and besides, not all the cards lying in his graveyard were useless.

One of them might be the key to turning the tide of the battle!

Moreover, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of earth-shattering method You Yang was using to end everything in the air!

It is indeed outrageous to take away six cards from his hand in one round, but so what?

In the end, it's all about winning this one round!

A gust of wind whipped up the ashes on the ground. You Yang, his expression solemn, placed his slender fingers on the deck, forcefully pulled out a card, and said calmly:

"My turn!"

"Draw a card!"

The moment he acquired the card, Youyang immediately announced:

"At this very moment!"

"The follow-up cost effect of the Continuous Spell Card [Nightmare Mirage] activates!"

"During your preparation phase, you must randomly discard cards from your hand equal to the number of cards drawn by that effect."

Looking at the remaining cards in his hand, You Yang said coldly, "I will discard the three cards in my hand."

He moved swiftly and decisively, gathering the three cards together and sending them all to the graveyard.

Then, You Yang suddenly raised his arm and flipped over the last face-down card that had been quietly lurking on the field with a bang in the face of the storm!

"Trap Card - [Reckless Greed] activated!"

"I draw two cards from my deck, and then my draw phase will be skipped twice."

As the Trap Cards flashed, Youyang drew two more cards from the top of his deck.

Immediately afterwards, he drew a card he had just acquired and sent it back to the graveyard.

"Then, I activated the effect of the Field Spell Card - Dragon Valley."
