The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

As He spoke, the dueling disk on His arm unfolded like a fan.

Kaiser Ryo also unfolded his Duel Disk: "Everyone, stand back."

Huber: "Our duel is going to be very intense!"

After everyone had retreated a bit, the two finally began their duel.

Chapter 255 High-Grade Gem Beast, Inlaid with a Berserker Dragon

"Duel!!" ×2

[Ryo Marufuji: LP4000]

[Hubert: LP4000]

After the duel between Caesar and Huber began, Huber drew a card first.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Hubert's hand cards: 5→6]

After glancing at his hand, Huber revealed one card: "First, I will activate the monster effect of [High-Grade Gem Beast Cobalt Spinel Eagle] from my hand."

"Send this card from your hand or the field to the graveyard, and add one [Advanced Dark Ward] from your deck to your hand."

Immediately, a card popped out of Hubert's deck, and he easily caught it.

Upon seeing this, Caesar Liang sneered, "Roar~, a high-grade gem beast? A high-grade dark barrier? Heh, it seems to be a fallen gem beast. I wonder which one is stronger, the original or the new one?"

"Why don't you try it and you'll see..."

As he spoke, Huber placed the card in his hand on the field area.

[Hubert's hand cards: 6→5]

"Activate the area spell, [High-level Dark Barrier]!"

Swish!

As the cards were collected by the field area, a barrier suddenly appeared beneath His feet, then rapidly expanded, enveloping the two duelists. Blue flames burned around the barrier.

Then He placed a card from His hand onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [High Jewel Beast Jade Pegasus] in Attack Position!"

With a flash of light, a dark blue gemstone appeared and instantly shattered, releasing a burst of darkness. Then, a white Pegasus, now dull and lifeless with its horn stained black, emerged from the darkness and appeared before everyone's eyes.

[High-grade Jade Beast, Azure Jade Pegasus: Attack Power 1800]

[Hubert's hand cards: 5→4]

Upon seeing this, Judai frowned and asked, "Has the Jewel Beast fallen into darkness?"

Asuka: "That beautiful precious beast has turned into this..."

Chronos: "Are you really okay, Ryo?"

"..."

As everyone was discussing this, Hubbell pointed to the Pegasus and said, "The Jade Pegasus can summon another gem."

This effect can be activated if this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned. Choose 1 "High Crystal Beast" monster from your hand, Deck, Graveyard, or banished monsters and place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card.

"I selected the Amber Mammoth from my deck and placed it on the field."

A flash of orange light appeared at Hubert's feet, and a dark-colored amber rough stone emerged.

He then threw out another card from his hand: "I activate the Spell Card [Crystal Contract] from my hand to Special Summon one [Crystal Beast] from my Spell & Trap Zone."

[Hubert's hand cards: 4→3]

"Come on, Amber Mammoth!"

boom!

The amber stone exploded instantly, revealing a mammoth with four legs and a trunk covered in black armor.

[High-grade Gem Beast Amber Mammoth: Attack Power 1700]

"That concludes my turn."

After Hubbell announced the end of his turn, Kaiser Ryo did not hesitate and immediately drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 5→6]

After glancing at his hand, Caesar Liang chuckled and said, "Hmph, you're showing me cards of this caliber? Looks like I've been underestimated."

Hubert: "Heh, you'll find out once the duel continues."

"what?"

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then looked down and suddenly realized: "So they're being protected by a [High-Level Dark Barrier]? If that's the case..."

He first placed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] in Attack Position."

hum!

A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and an extremely rudimentary electronic dragon was projected.

[Electronic Dragon Core: Attack Power 400]

"The monster effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] is activated!"

If this card is successfully summoned, activate this effect. Add 1 [Cyber] Spell/Trap Card or [Cyber ​​Tech] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

"Using this effect, I added [Electronic Load Fusion] to my hand."

After retrieving the card into his hand, Kaiser Ryo continued, "While [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] is on the field or in the Graveyard, it is treated as [Cyber ​​Dragon], therefore..."

He drew two cards from his hand and revealed them together: "I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand, fusing [Cyber ​​Dragon] from my hand and [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] from the field as materials."

As soon as he finished speaking, the electronic dragon appeared on the field, and the next second the two mechanical dragons were instantly swallowed by the fusion vortex, releasing a dazzling light.

"【Chimera Berserker】, Summon!"

From the depths of the light, a black mechanical dragon body emerged with two mechanical dragon heads, and a new chimeric mechanical behemoth appeared before everyone's eyes.

'roar--!'

【Chimera Berserker Dragon: Attack Power 2100】

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 6→4]

Kaiser Ryo clenched his fist, his voice rising several decibels: "The special effect of [Chimera Berserker] is activated!"

When this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, you can target up to the number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field that were used as Fusion Materials for this card; destroy those cards.

"I will use this to destroy the [High-Level Dark Barrier]!"

Upon hearing this, Huber calmly replied, "[High-Grade Jewel Beast] will be sent to the Graveyard when there is no [High-Grade Dark Barrier] on the field. You have indeed targeted my weakness..."

However, He changed the subject, "But do you think I didn't anticipate this trick?"

"Nani?"

Hubert immediately pointed to the mammoth beside him and shouted, "At this moment, the monster effect of [High-Grade Jewel Beast Amber Mammoth] activates!"

Once per turn, you can activate this effect when your opponent activates an effect that targets either your [Advanced Crystal Beast] card or your [Advanced Dark Barrier]. Negate that activation.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Jim: "What? They had already taken precautions?"

O'Brien: "Compared to the [Jewel Beast], the [Higher Jewel Beast] not only looks evil, but its effects have also evolved."

"..." Kaiser Ryo gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling, and then said, "Then I'll activate the other effect of [Chimera Berserker]!"

Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can activate this effect. Send up to 2 Machine-Type LIGHT monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. During this turn, this card can perform attacks in addition to its Normal Attacks during the same Battle Phase, up to the number of monsters sent to the Graveyard by this effect.

Chapter 256 Powerful High-Grade Jade Beast

"Based on the effect of [Chimera Rampaging Dragon], I sent [Cyber ​​Lighthouse] and [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] from my deck to the graveyard. This card can attack three times during this turn's battle."

Seeing Caesar Liang throw two cards into the graveyard, Hubert exclaimed in surprise, "What? It can launch three attacks?!"

Kaiser smiled confidently: "It's not just that. When the [Electronic Dragon Core] is sent to the graveyard, its special effect is activated."

"Choose one Cyber ​​Dragon from your Deck or Graveyard, other than this card, and add it to your hand."

"Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the [Electronic Dragon Core] is treated as an [Electronic Dragon] when it is in the graveyard. Therefore, based on the effect of the [Electronic Dragon Core], I will add the [Electronic Dragon Core] from the graveyard to my hand."

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 4→5]

Chronos: "As expected of Ryo, not a single card was wasted! So cute!"

At this moment, Caesar Liang did not hesitate at all. He pointed at the opposite side and shouted sharply, "【Chimera Berserker Dragon】attacks 【High-Grade Gem Beast Amber Mammoth】, evolve into Final Berserk!"

"First strike!!"

Immediately, the chimeric mechanical behemoth raised one of its dragon heads and suddenly unleashed a beam of light, hurtling towards the Amber Mammoth.

Seeing this, Huber calmly swung his hand and said coldly, "Don't even think about succeeding! The other effect of [High-Grade Gem Beast Amber Mammoth] is activated!"

Once per turn, you can activate this effect when one of your [High-Grade Crystal Beast] monsters is targeted for an attack. Negate that attack.

"What!?"

A protective shield of light appeared around the Amber Mammoth, blocking the attack.

boom--! !

When the smoke cleared, the amber mammoth reappeared before everyone's eyes, completely unharmed.

"Tch, you dodged my attack... But don't forget I have two more attacks left, an attack on the Amber Mammoth, the second one!"

The Chimera Rampaging Dragon raised its other head and launched a second attack at the Amber Mammoth.

As Hubert removed his deck, he said, "It's no use. I'll activate the effect of the Field Spell [Advanced Dark Barrier]!"

When a battle from one of your Crystal Beast monsters causes you to suffer battle damage during damage calculation, you can send 1 Crystal Donburi monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. The battle damage you suffered from that battle becomes 0.

"I sent the [High-Grade Gem Beast Ruby Beast] to the graveyard, and the damage it caused me became zero."

The next second, the flames struck the amber mammoth, instantly causing a violent explosion.

boom--! !

As the smoke cleared, the amber mammoth disappeared, and a piece of raw amber appeared at Ubel's feet.

"The [High-Grade Gem Beast], like the original [Gem Beast], transforms into gems when destroyed and is placed in magic and trap zones."

Seeing Hubert's calm expression, Caesar Liang said excitedly, "You've got a real knack for this. It wouldn't be fun otherwise."

"Then I'll lay one more card in my pocket, and the turn will end."

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 5→4]

Asuka, seeing that Kaiser Ryo had only ended his turn, asked in confusion, "【Chimera Berserker Dragon】 clearly had one more attack left, but Ryo didn't continue attacking. Why is that?"

Jaden explained, "The Ultimate Gem God requires seven Gem Beasts to be collected on the field and in the graveyard. If you continue to attack, it will only keep Jade Pegasus on the field. However, because of the effect of the Advanced Dark Barrier, Hubel can send the other Gem Beasts to the graveyard."

Edward nodded in agreement: "That's right, continuing the attack will only speed up His process of collecting the gems, so there's no need for it."

While everyone was discussing, Hubert quickly drew a card from his deck.

"Let's go! My turn, draw a card!"

[Hubert's hand cards: 3→4]

After glancing at his hand, Huber's lips curled into a slight smile. He then placed the card in his left hand and drew another card, playing it.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Gem of Grace' from my hand and place two 'Gem Beasts' from my Graveyard into the Spell & Trap Zone."

[Hubert's hand cards: 4→3]

"Come back, Cobalt Spinel Eagle and Ruby Beast!"

At His feet, red and blue lights flashed simultaneously, and two raw gemstones appeared.

"Then, I activated the special effect of the Ruby Beast."
