Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Meanwhile, Melonica LP: 1500-500.

【Ding】

Luo Bai pressed the card search button.

He vaguely remembered that [Dragonblood Vampire] had a weak monster counter, but he wasn't sure, as few people used this card.

【Dragonblood Vampire】:

Each of the following effects of this card can be used once per turn: ①: If this card is Normal Summoned: You can target up to 2 monsters in your opponent's Graveyard; negate their effects and Special Summon them to your field in Defense Position. ②: When a monster's effect is activated: If any monster with the same name is in either your or your opponent's Graveyard: You can activate this effect; negate that activation. ③: If a monster is Special Summoned from your opponent's Graveyard: You can Tribute 2 monsters you control; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard.

"Wow, this effect ② is for the [Electronic Dragon]!"

Generally speaking, this ② effect monster counter is difficult to use, as the activation conditions are very demanding, requiring a monster with the same name in the graveyard to counter it.

Isn't that a coincidence?

When [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], and [Cyber ​​Dragon. Next Generation Star] are in the graveyard and on the field, their card names are all treated as [Cyber ​​Dragon]. They have different card effects, but they share the same name.

"Main phase".

Luo Bai finished his card check and glanced back and forth between the opponent's face-down card and his own hand.

"The vampire's card should be about domination and awakening."

"Dragonblood Gongkang is a low-level monster. It controls three colors, counterattacks, and heals. Awakening pulls Duke to speed up and destroy cards. Thousand gold damage is awarded to Undead monsters to increase their attack and defense."

"One attack and defense buff, three interference points, and five to six monsters."

Given the search volume for vampires, it's hard to get this lucky without playing hundreds of thousands of games with the synergy.

Fortunately, he had seven cards in his hand: two Cyber ​​Dragons, one Sub-Star, one Cyber ​​Dragon Core, one Power Bond, one Metroid, and one card of unknown significance.

can win!

Luo Bai glanced at his hand and said, "Discard [Cyber ​​Dragon, 2100/1600] to activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon.Next Star] and Special Summon it."

"Use Next Generation Star Special Summon to Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon from Graveyard."

"Don't even think about it!" Melonica shouted.

"Activate Dragon Blood Lord effect, nullify Sub-Star!"

Dragonblood Duke brandished his trident, and a surge of blood energy pierced through the next generation star, causing its entire body to become dull and weak.

"Then let's try this one!" Luo Bai said excitedly.

"Activate the Spell Card [Power Fusion], and use Next Generation Star on the field and Cyber ​​Dragon in your hand as materials to Fusion Summon!"

"【Chimera Rampaging Dragon, 4200/1600】!"

"Raging Dragon's effect activated, destroying two of her face-down cards!"

"Activate the counter-trap [Vampire's Domination], nullify and destroy [Chimera Berserker], then restore the Chimera Berserker's original attack power value to its base score," Melonica said ruthlessly.

"The original attack power of the Chimera Berserker was 2100, so I have restored 2100 points."

LP: 500-2600.

She was clearly relieved; having 500 LP was actually quite unsettling, as it was difficult to activate the "Thousand Gold Attack" effect.

After inhaling to a safe level, his complexion relaxed considerably.

"Hehehe..." Luo Bai sneered, a treacherous smile creeping across his face, "So what are you going to do about this?!"

"Summon the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core]!"

The two invalid impedances have been completely fooled, and the handsome guy makes a dazzling appearance!

Chapter 68 A Night Driven by Machinery (Part 4)

"Activate the [Electronic Dragon Core] effect, search for [Electronic Emergency Call]!"

Luo Bai slammed the card onto the duel disk, his eyes resolute and burning, his body leaning forward, his pupils slightly contracted, revealing an irrepressible passion.

"Activate [Electronic Emergency Call] to retrieve [Electronic Loongson] chip!"

As soon as the words "Electronic Dragon Core" were uttered, Melonica's body trembled noticeably, her fists clenched tightly, and the earth emitted a red and black death aura. This monster seemed to have a special meaning for her.

"Discard the [Electronic Dragon Core] to activate the [Metroid] effect and Special Summon it."

"[Metroid] Special Summon Effect: Add another [Metroid] from your Deck to your hand. [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] Graveyard Send Effect: Add [Cyber ​​Dragon] from your Graveyard to your hand."

"Again!"

"Discard [Cyber ​​Dragon], Special Summon [Metroidvania]!"

“There are two level 5 monsters…” Melonica’s breathing became rapid, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes glistened with tears.

Her hand rested on the face-down card "Vampire Awakening," which, when activated, could destroy a Galactic Warrior and prevent Xyz Summoning.

The countdown timer for the chain of questions ticked away second by second.

Every heartbeat plucks at the strings of hesitation.

The chain will be automatically canceled after the eight-second inquiry period.

"They didn't interrupt? It wasn't an awakening?" Luo Bai was somewhat surprised.

If we don't interrupt, we'll miss our chance!

"I'll stack two Level 5 [Metroidvania] units on top of each other!"

"A new hope for electron flow."

"Clear away the chaos and usher in the future!"

Xyz Summon!

"Shine!"

"Rank 5, [Cyber ​​Dragon. Nova]!"

Suddenly, the dark and gloomy vampire empire erupted with blinding lightning and thunder. The power of the world was gathering, and as the energy became more and more concentrated, a huge vortex of lightning formed in the sky, accompanied by roars and mechanical rumbles.

The electric vortex twisted and deformed, gradually revealing an exquisitely crafted mechanical dragon and snake.

In the vast night sky, a new star, representing hope, shimmers with a captivating yet cold metallic light.

“Electronic Dragon... Nova…” Melonica gazed at the sky, her eyes sparkling.

With complex emotions that even the gods could not comprehend, his whole body trembled slightly.

[Activate Vampire Awakening?]

The system popped up a prompt that only she could see.

"A rising star..."

"unlimited..."

Melonika was stunned, her breathing erratic, and she murmured softly.

【8...7...6】

An 8-second chain of prompts flashes every second.

Luo Bai placed his hand on the Extra Deck area, ready to perform an Xyz Rank Up transformation as soon as 8 seconds had passed.

No new star effect is even released!

The winning formula has been written!

【Ding】

The other party made no move.

Luo Bai regained the priority to operate.

We won!

He muttered to himself and drew the card symbolizing victory from the Extra Deck.

"I'll use [Cyber ​​Dragon Nova] as material!"

"Upgrade and transformation!"

Xyz Summon!

"Rank 6, [Electronic Dragon...]"

Just as he was about to swipe the card, a crisp ticking sound came from his mind.

It was like tears falling onto cold machinery.

A mournful cry came from the fingertips holding the card, and Luo Bai's summoning action abruptly stopped.

With a whoosh, the world suddenly changed.

His soul traveled back to that night.

"Where is this...?" Luo Bai, in his soul form, drifted in a place that resembled an electronic laboratory.

Computer servers with flashing lights are everywhere, along with orderly and complex electronic components and precision circuit boards. Various electronic dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns patrol the corridors...

He walked through the glass wall and entered the laboratory.

Two people stood with their backs to him in the center of the hall, with only the hum of broken machinery audible.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous black dress, with long, gray-white hair draped over her shoulders, and holding a black parasol.

The man was wearing a neat white lab coat, his hands were in his pockets, and a blue light, like an LED, was flashing from the corner of his left eye.

The two looked straight ahead, without making any intimate gestures.

There stood a colossal mechanical construct, the battle-damaged [Electronic Dragon. Infinity]. Its mechanical parts had fallen off, and it had degenerated into a nova form. The [Electronic Dragon Core] of its power reactor was now dim and lifeless.

I need a powerful soul.

He slowly opened his mouth, and a cold, mechanical sound filled the deathly silent air.

"Hehe, that's truly an honor," she said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Vampire Queen, Undead [candidate], with a sufficiently powerful soul.

He stopped speaking.
