"But now, I know that I was completely wrong... Only victory is what the duelists of the Six Cold Temples should pursue most!"

"I don't want to lose, no matter what form it takes. What I want most is victory—even if it means abandoning my principles and risking everything I have!"

Then, Marufuji Ryo raised his head again and took a last look at the power welding held tightly in his right hand.

...Then, he suddenly let go!

"Just like power welding, powerful cards often come with terrible side effects - and in order to win, a certain price must be paid, even if it means abandoning everything in the past!"

So, in the next moment, Marufuji Ryo stretched out his left hand and caught the slowly falling power welding.

——But at the same time, the only remaining card in his left hand was thrown to his right hand!

While operating, Marufuji Ryo quickly raised his head and instantly locked onto You Ling's location, but then, as if reassured, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

"So, I will give up the power welding that represents my [past] and use this brand new card that represents [the future]!"

Then, he slammed the card in his hand onto the field. "Still in the battle phase, I activate the card given by my friend—Quick Attack Magic: Electronic Load Fusion!"

"According to its effect, use the five Cyber Dragon monsters on our side of the field as Fusion Materials—Perform a Fusion Summon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, as if sensing his surging emotions, the projection animation displayed on the duel field became several degrees louder than before.

As a new fusion vortex appeared, a huge wind pressure swept across the entire field - the five electronic dragons on Marufuji Ryo's field turned into five silver-white lights and converged into one.

"In this situation, we still need to perform a Fusion Summon...!?"

Seeing this scene, Ed was completely confused and his little face was full of confusion.

——Even without mentioning her, even You Ling, the only two Shadow Electronic Stream Duelists in the duel arena, expressed his incomprehension.

But even if he couldn't understand, looking at Marufuji Ryo's expression, all that ignited in You Ling's heart was trust in his friend.

In this situation, what kind of monster will Marufuji Ryo fuse? Which cyber dragon can lead him to victory?

"——Fusion Summon of Nine-Gu Dad + Lengsi O⑸, LV8 Chimeric Fortress Dragon!"

[Chimeric Fortress Dragon Mechanical/Light ATK/0]

At the moment when this extremely strange-looking monster, which seemed to be made up of multiple tires, landed on the ground, You Ling seemed to hear some exciting BGM ringing in his ears - such as some "struggling little song".

But no matter how passionate the tune was, it couldn't calm You Ling's inner shock - it turns out that this card exists in the world... Wait, that's not right!

Staring at the monster on the field, he blurted out, "Chimera Fortress Dragon, this monster, isn't it impossible to summon it with Fusion Magic... Could it be that!?"

In a flash, a light bulb went off in You Ling's brain, and those bizarre yet reasonable clues were completely connected at this moment.

Thinking of this, You Ling couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he completely understood everything.

A possibility, a possibility that Marufuji Ryo could win directly here, gradually emerged in his mind.

"If that's the case... then it seems like it could actually work!"

After thinking of this possibility, You Ling couldn't even suppress his inner ecstasy, and his voice tone involuntarily rose a few degrees.

"If that's the case...wonderful! Truly wonderful! This duel—"

Perhaps because the voice was too passionate, some people in the nearby audience seats raised their heads curiously and looked towards You Ling.

But obviously, no one would pay too much attention to You Ling at this time. After just a quick glance, everyone immediately withdrew their gaze - because at this moment, their attention would only be focused on the duelists on the field, especially Marufuji Ryo!

"...Due to the side effects of Electron Load Fusion, for the rest of this turn, I can only attack with monsters Fusion Summoned with this card!"

Seeing that his [Chimeric Fortress Dragon] had landed safely, Marufuji Ryo stretched out his right hand immediately without any pause.

"But this is completely enough!"

"Next, still during the Battle Phase—I use Chimera Fortress Dragon to attack your only monster on the field, Destiny Hero, Twilight!"

"...They actually used a monster with zero attack power to attack, what on earth is this-" As a professional duelist with rich dueling experience and a high fashion value, Ed obviously understood that monsters with zero attack power are all monsters. Therefore, her expression became solemn at this moment.

At this time, the Chimeric Fortress Dragon had already opened its huge mouth at the front end of its tire-shaped body and cone-shaped head.

"Chimera Fortress Dragon, like your monster Destiny Hero: Twilight Man, cannot be destroyed by battle and deals zero battle damage to both Duelists, but—"

Marufuji Ryo stretched out his right hand, pointing it at Ed across from him as if to sentence him to death. "However, when Chimera Fortress Dragon declares a combat attack, it will inflict a total of 400 points of effect damage to the opposing duelist!"

"Chimera Fortress Dragon—Evolution: Final Cannon!"

In the audience, after hearing Marufuji Ryo's words, You Ling's guess was confirmed. He clenched his fists excitedly, his face filled with ecstasy: "That's right! This is how we should fight... No, this is the only way to fight!"

——That's right, this Chimeric Fortress Dragon is not the same as the Typhoon in Yuling's memory that can fuse with the opponent's Machine-Type monster...

The monster that Marufuji Ryo is using now has the same power ratio as the super template that Ed used before. It has only appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime... the Chimeric Fortress Dragon with anime effects!

At this time, the battle of the Chimeric Fortress Dragon was over. The 400 points of solid damage that the Dystopians could not resist had defeated Ed along with the sound waves emitted by the conical dragon head.

[Ed Phoenix: LP1900→1500]

——And the Chimera Fortress Dragon in the animation, as the prototype monster for the famous "Fatal Five-Hit Combo", in addition to dealing 400 points of effect damage with each attack...

"It's not over yet—Chimera Fortress Dragon, during a single battle phase, can perform a number of attacks based on the amount of fusion materials!"

"The monsters used as fusion materials for this Dragonite on my field are Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Core, and Cyber Dragon II, a total of five monsters—"

"That means the number of attacks you can perform is... five!"

Hearing this, Ed, who was in unbearable pain from the attack just now, suddenly raised his head and his expression changed completely: "This... This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible! My former trump cards, the Cyber-End Dragon and Power Weld, certainly couldn't penetrate your Twilight Man... but now I have surpassed the past!"

"Chimera Fortress Dragon, second attack... Evolution Termination Cannon!"

Following the duelist's instructions, a second Cyber Dragon's head emerged from the Fortress Dragon's tire-shaped body—same open mouth, same movements, same 400 points of effect damage.

[Ed Phoenix LP: 1500 → 1100]

"Then came the third and fourth bullets in succession!" Then, the third and fourth dragon heads in the fortress were hit.

[Ed Phoenix LP: 1100 → 700 → 300]

Until now, the fatal five-hit combo has reached its final blow - Ed is indeed a girl with backbone, and even now she has not cried out in pain.

At the duelist's command, the last silver dragon head in the tire emerged with the final attack.

"It's over, Ed Phoenix—"

"Evolution Final Cannon! Fifth burst!"

Perhaps it was to build momentum for the ending of this top duel. At the moment when the last attack hit and the last 400 points of damage arrived, the smoke created by the explosion in the duel arena was thicker than any previous one, until it enveloped most of the duel arena.

At this crucial moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on one spot. Finally, the smoke gradually dissipated.

[Ed Phoenix LP: 300 → 0]

Even though he was unwilling to do so, facing the fact that he had already failed, Ed Phoenix could only bite his words and raised his head with an unwilling look on his face.

Thus, everything on the duel field, including the Chimaera Fortress Dragon and the Twilight Utopians, gradually disappeared as the projection device stopped working after the duel ended.

"Nice duel...Electronic Stream guy, you win."

After a moment of silence, cheers and applause rang out at this moment.

The commentator's voice also sounded at this moment: "Great! Both of them were amazing! Such a wonderful duel - the winner is Marufuji Ryo from the Electronic Flow! Let me congratulate this..."

But his voice stopped abruptly here - because anyone could see that on the duel field, the glorious winner who ended the duel, Marufuji Ryo, suddenly raised his head, as if he had something to say, and looked at the camera equipment beside him.

Then, he looked at You Ling in the audience from afar. After seeing the latter nod with satisfaction, Liang chuckled as if he had received permission and fixed his eyes on the camera device beside him that was broadcasting to the whole world.

Under the gazes of countless people around the world watching this duel, the struggling man who returned from hell and broke his hopeless fate had a sharp gaze.

"No, that's wrong. The winner is not Marufuji Ryo from the Electron Stream—"

"But——of the Shadow Electronic Stream, Hell Caesar!"

After hearing this, there was another few seconds of silence, and then the whole audience burst into thunderous cheers.

——After this intoxicating duel, people were intoxicated and shouted the names of "Shadow Electronic Flow" and "Hell Caesar".

[Novice mission [Shaving, then picking up the electronic flow struggling man] has been completed]

Volume 5: Chapter : Rich Duelist Development Experience (K)

Amidst thunderous cheers, Wan Tengliang—not Maru Tengliang, but Caesar Liang—slowly raised his head, meeting everyone's gazes.

——As if enjoying himself, he opened his arms and embraced this best reward for the winner.

After that declaration, the entire duel arena was now filled with deafening cheers of "Hell Caesar" or "Shadow Electronic Stream".

The joy of victory, the pride in Shadow Electronics, and the sour feeling of confirming himself and finally escaping the hell of losing streak... At this moment, only the word "mixed emotions" can describe Caesar Liang's current feelings.

Letting this wonderful feeling linger in his heart, Caesar Liang couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the audience. He chuckled and met the gaze of You Ling who was also looking at him - this person could be said to be his greatest benefactor who had saved him from hell and was like a reborn parent.

In an instant, he remembered what You Ling had told him before.

——At that time, You Ling told him that no matter what the result of the duel was, victory or failure, he hoped that he could be true to himself and fight a duel that would satisfy himself and everyone else.

——If I win, I will shout out loudly all the depression I have experienced during this period and all my thoughts and feelings in my heart.

Even though they were far apart, looking at You Ling's expression in the audience, Marufuji Ryo seemed to hear the voice of his friend in his ears.

He seemed to be saying, Caesar... let the gods be afraid of you, let the heavens be in awe of you—

Thinking of this, Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but take a deep breath - then, naturally, he turned his head and met the eyes of the camera equipment next to him.

At this time, as if noticing Marufuji Ryo's movements and expressions, the commentator's voice immediately sounded in the venue.

"I was wrong, it should be the Shadow Electronic Stream player, Hell Caesar... Wait, this Caesar player seems to have something else to say!"

The moment he heard this voice, You Ling in the audience suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

——Because he recalled that last night, when he used his verbal attack to persuade Liang before the duel... he seemed to have said that if there was anything he wanted to say, he must "shout it out loud."

At that time, You Ling obviously did not realize that there would be so many spectators in today's duel and that the scene would be so lively.

At that moment, the heart that had just been excited by the friend's victory and the new system instructions suddenly became a little frightened.

Seeing that the emotions on the duel field had reached a peak and Liang was looking at him with eager eyes, and was obviously about to say something awkward, You Ling's face changed in an instant.

—Wait, Liangzi, you're not going to do this in front of so many people, in front of so many viewers from all over the world...

But even if You Ling wanted to stop Liang's Hell Declaration now, it was too late.

At this moment, there were even several projection devices on the duel field that had keenly noticed the look that Caesar Liang cast towards You Ling - some of them even turned 180 degrees and faced You Ling, who had a confused look on his face.

At this moment, You Ling finally realized that something was wrong—no, wait, don't shoot me yet...

But before You Ling could fully react, Liang's roar had already echoed throughout the entire arena through the microphone and the professional sound equipment on the duel field.

"A close friend of mine told me before this duel that if I win today, I'll let out all my inner emotions... I'll tell the world, everyone, about my struggles, about the hesitation and confusion I've been experiencing, at the loudest voice of my life—"

At this point, You Ling was completely numb - he even saw several cameras flashing twice, probably having taken perfect photos of him.

He could imagine that, with these pictures, there might be some duel news tomorrow about the "life mentor who teaches the struggle of the Caesar of Hell"... The power of the media in the duel world should not be underestimated.

"That's right, watch carefully—this is the struggle of me, Hell Caesar, returning from Hell...!"

Then, Marufuji Ryo blurted out a long declaration of struggle that came completely from his heart without any embellishment to everyone present.

——I can only say that people who are affected by the atmosphere may feel ignited at first...but if you are the person involved, you will probably scratch the floor to pieces.

Listening to the deafening cheers in the duel arena, Liang's extremely passionate and struggling lines one after another, and the camera clicking non-stop at himself... You Ling couldn't help but cover his face.

Obviously, from today on, the name of Hell Caesar Shadow Electronic Flow will resound throughout the duel world of this world...even You Ling will probably be able to benefit from it and become famous as well.
