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

"Add 1 'Miracle Fusion' card from your deck to your hand."

"Hmm~ Ha!"

With a roar from [Elemental HERO Sunrise Rider], scorching energy erupted from his body, and another card popped out of Youyang's deck.

After being drawn by Youyang, the duel board automatically shuffled the deck.

You Yang closed his eyes slightly, and a white connection circuit appeared behind him.

Seeing this, Shi Jian was shocked. It was a connection circuit. Was You Yang about to perform a link summon?

Shouldn't all heroes be summoned through fusion?

Chen Yuexi shared the same doubts, but she didn't show any shock.

Although she didn't know much about the Hero deck, she had already seen Yu Yang use the power of Link Monsters.

Seeing it again is nothing unusual.

Furthermore, in the world of duels, as long as the deck is compatible and you have the skill, it's perfectly normal to include some other cards.

Even if the hero doesn't have any Link Monsters, as long as they fit the hero's deck, it's fine to include them.

However, Chen Yuexi remembered that You Yang's previous [Phantom Hero: The Solitary Good Man] seemed to have a self-restraint.

That is, after this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck unless they are "Hero" monsters, until the end of the turn.

Since Youyang dared to make the connection, he must be a hero or monster.

Do hero decks have Link Monsters?

As You Yang opened his eyes, he picked up the two cards on the field, giving them the answer!

"The summoning condition for this card is!"

"Two Warrior-type monsters!"

"I will use the [Phantom Hero Android] and [Phantom Hero Increment] on the field as Link Materials to perform a Link Summon!"

The Phantom Hero Android and the Phantom Hero Incremental Human on the field transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one purple, and rushed into the link circuit behind You Yang.

"Warriors of the night, bound by bonds, forge the path of heroes!"

"Link Summon!! Link 2!"

"Appear! [Special Hero Cross]!"

After the link circuit dissipated, a figure clad in lead-colored armor with scarlet lines appearing on it slowly emerged.

Two red lines intersected across his chest, forming a large X. On his arms, two enormous red shurikens were spinning incessantly, radiating a bloodthirsty light.

【Special Hero Crossman】【link2[][]】

[Dark/Link/Warrior Race] [Attack Power: 1600]

Everyone was shocked to see the new monster that had appeared on the field. [Special Hero]?

Are there not only [Destiny Heroes] and [Phantom Heroes], but also [Special Heroes]?

The [Special Hero Crossmen] that You Yang is now summoning via Link are people that no one has ever heard of or seen before.

But it was clear that You Yang had a familiarity with these special heroes beyond what they could imagine, as if he had been using them for many years.

Chapter 60 Reconnected! The Extraordinary Hero: The Staff Pioneer!

Looking at the heroes on the field, You Yang was also somewhat emotional. The reason he hadn't used a hero deck before was...

There's no other reason than that hero decks are weak to spells and traps.

It's easy for it to be wiped out in one card by things like lightning strikes, lightning storms, or black holes.

And people in this world especially like to put these kinds of board clear cards into their decks.

This is why Youyang has always been hesitant to use hero decks, fearing he might encounter a situation where the opponent gives him the first turn.

Even if the White Dragon eats a clear card, it can still leave some items behind, but the hero will truly be left with nothing.

However, after so many duels, You Yang also discovered that those powerful clearing cards were simply not something that ordinary people could possess.

The Dark Duelists are able to possess power thanks to the evil god behind them.

The middle-aged man named Shi Jian in front of them did not have the cold aura of a Dark Duelist.

It's also unlikely that they would spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to buy those expensive clearance cards.

Now is naturally the best time for his hero deck to make its debut!

Looking at the [Special Hero Crossman] on the field, You Yang waved his hand and said:

"I activate the entry effect of [Special Hero Crossman]".

"If this card is Link Summoned, you can target 1 'Destin HERO' monster in your Graveyard; this effect can be activated."

"Special Summon that monster."

"I choose to Special Summon [Destiny HERO Demon]!"

"Appear! [Destiny Hero Demon]!"

Youyang's Duel Disk spat out a card, which he slapped onto the Duel Disk.

A muscular, demonic figure with enormous bat wings on his back and a lower body that looked like he was wearing wool pants appeared on Youyang's field.

【Destiny Hero: The Demonic One】【6 Stars】

[Dark/Warrior Race] [Attack: 800, Defense: 800]

After summoning [Destiny Hero: Demonic Man].

You Yang continued speaking, pointing at the [Special Hero Crossman] on the field:

"Next, I will activate another effect of [Special Hero Crossman]."

You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 "Destiny HERO" monster you control.

"Add 1 'HERO' monster from your Deck to your hand, except for the monster whose name is different from the one you released."

"I release the [Destiny HERO Demon] that I just summoned from the graveyard, and add [Destiny HERO Negation] from my deck to my hand."

【Special Hero Crossman】The cross-shaped throwing knives on his arms spun rapidly, and a crimson whirlwind blew towards Youyang's deck.

You Yang blew out one of the cards, then extended two fingers to catch it and put it into his hand.

Then You Yang reached for the Duel Disk, picked up two cards, and loudly proclaimed:

"Next, I will perform a link summoning again!"

As You Yang spoke, the link circuit reappeared, and everyone looked surprised.

Shi Jian was even more surprised and said:

"You still want to perform a Link Summon?"

"But you only have two monsters on your field right now."

"These are [Special Hero Cross], which you Link Summoned with two monsters, and [Elemental HERO Sunrise], which you Fusion Summoned with the Spell Card [Fusion]!"

"You don't mean you're going to use them as material, do you?"

These two monsters were the result of You Yang's hard work in summoning them for half a day; they were both high-level monsters.

Are we going to discard them now as sacrificial offerings?

Faced with the astonished gazes of the crowd and Shi Jian's questioning, You Yang remained noncommittal.

"I did nothing wrong, I'm going to use them as material!"

The connection loop reappeared, and You Yang immediately said:

"The summoning condition for this card is!"

"Two 'Hero' monsters!"

"I'm using [Special Hero Cross] and [Elemental Hero Sunrise Knight] from my field as link assets!"

"O pioneers who paved the way, use your scepter to guide the heroes!"

"Link Summon! Link 2!"

"Descend, [Special Hero Staff Pioneer]!"

The sight of the extraordinary hero, clad in a blue robe and wielding a weapon gleaming with golden light, slowly emerging from the link circuit shocked everyone once again.

Unexpectedly, the heroes have more than one Link Monster, and not just one.

【Special Heroes: The Staff Pioneer】【link2[↑][↓]】

[Light/Link/Warrior Race] [Attack Power: 1900]

But Shi Jian always felt that something was not right.

It doesn't seem like the [Special Hero Staff Pioneer] that Youyang summoned with so much effort is very powerful!

Its attack power is just average, so does it have some kind of powerful effect?

Trading two high-level monsters for one lunk2 monster is really not worth it!

However, just as everyone was lost in thought, You Yang continued:

"Then I will activate the effect of the [Destiny Hero Demon] that was just sent to the graveyard by [Fusion]."

"You can activate this effect by banishing this card from the graveyard."

Special Summon 1 [Destiny HERO Demon] from your Deck.

"I choose to Special Summon [Destiny HERO Demon] at the link arrow pointing downwards from [Special Heroes: The Staff of the Pioneer]!"

"Appear! [Destiny Hero Demon]!"

As a beam of light flashed across Youyang's grave, the phantom of [Destiny Hero Demon] appeared.

The second [Destiny Hero Demon] appeared on Youyang's field.

"At this very moment, the special effect of [Special Hero Staff Pioneer] activates!"

"If you Normal or Special Summon a 'Hero' monster to the zone this card is linked to, target 1 'Fusion' Spell Card or 'Change' Quick-Play Spell Card in your Graveyard."
