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

"No, back then I was planning to..."

Yusei was about to explain when Kiryu rudely interrupted him, "Shut up! What's there to say now, you traitor!!"

"It's about time it began, isn't it? A deathmatch between the Dragon Signers and the Dark Signers... no, it should be called a life-or-death battle between former comrades!!"

As soon as Kiryu finished speaking, he turned the handle again, and the D-Wheel immediately ran towards Yusei, then turned a corner and came to Yusei's side.

Then Kiryu tapped the button on the screen, "Field spell [High-Speed ​​World] activated!"

'Duel Mode, Autopilot Ready!' ×2

Seeing his own field forced to activate, Yusei frowned: "Are you serious, Kiryu?"

"Hiahiahiahia~!! Isn't that obvious? Alright, let's enjoy this riding duel, Yusei!"

Ignoring Yusei's reaction, Kiryu turned the D-wheel handlebars, and the car sped off instantly, leaving Yusei with no choice but to follow.

"Duel!!" ×2

【Yusei Fudo: LP4000】

[Kyosuke Onyanagi: LP4000]

A moment later, Guiliu's D-Wheel turned a corner first, "Hiahiahiahia~!! First strike is mine, my turn!"

[Oniri Kyosuke’s hand card: 5 → 6]

Kiryu glanced at his hand and quickly took action, "I summon [Infernal Guardian] in Defense Position!"

As the card was struck onto the Duel Disk, a portal opened, and a skull shield engulfed in flames flew out from within.

[Eternal Flame Guardian: Defense 1700]

"Set two cards face down, end the turn."

[Oniri Kyosuke’s hand card: 6 → 3]

"Alright, come on, let's have a fierce battle that will ignite my flames of revenge! I'm counting on you!"

'Is this the only option?' Faced with Kiryu's challenge, Yusei finally made up his mind.

"My turn!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 5 → 6]

(Yusei Fudo SPC1, Kyosuke Kiryu SPC1)

Yusei glanced at his hand, thinking, 'The Infernal Flame deck... it's different from the decks Kiryu used before, but I know how terrifying this set is.'

The Infernal Flame deck is characterized by its ability to activate powerful effects when the player has zero cards in hand. To counter Kiryu, you need to do so while he still has cards in hand.

“Then…” Yusei played a monster card without hesitation, “I Special Summon [Unknown Synchron] from my hand.”

A flash of light appeared, and a mechanical eyeball materialized.

"This card can be Special Summoned from your hand when you have no monsters on your field."

Immediately afterwards, Yusei threw out another card from his hand, "Then I release [Unknown Synchron], and Tribute Summon [Salvage Warrior]!"

"And based on the effect of [Salvage Warrior], Special Summon the Tuner monster [Unknown Synchron] from the Graveyard."

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 4]

After the two monsters appeared one after the other, Yusei raised his hand and shouted, "I'll use my Level 5 Salvage Warrior to tune my Level 1 Unknown Synchron!"

"Holy Wings that summon the starlight, let souls ride the wind and swiftly traverse the world! Synchronous Summoning, [Stardust Charged Warrior]!"

In an instant, the light of harmony illuminated the road, and within the light, a pair of steel wings that seemed to be made of sword blades unfurled, and a warrior in the shape of a Stardust Dragon broke through the light and came to Yusei's side.

Stardust Charged Warrior: Attack Power 2000

Chapter 45 The Hundred-Eyed Dragon of Dark Synchronization

"At this moment, the monster effect of [Stardust Charge Warrior] activates. When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, you can draw one card from your Deck."

After replenishing his hand, Yusei placed another monster card onto the Duel Disk: "Then, when you control a Synchro Monster, you can Special Summon 'Scrap Socket Dragon' from your hand."

In an instant, a beam of light appeared, and a mechanical dragon assembled from five plugs appeared on the field.

Immediately afterwards, Yusei grabbed another card from his hand and revealed it. It was a monster card with a picture of a miniature Power Tool Dragon. "If a Power Tool Synchro Monster or a Level 7 or 8 Dragon Synchro Monster is Synchro Summoned, this card in your hand can also be used as Synchro Material."

Kiryu: "Heh~, Synchro Summoning with monsters from my hand? Interesting..."

"I used a level 5 [Scrap Socket Dragon] to upgrade the level 3 [Revolutionary Synchron]!"

As soon as Yusei finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from the card in his hand, revealing a miniature Power Tool Dragon, which then transformed into three Synchro Rings, synchronizing with the Star of the Scrap Socket Dragon.

"A sliver of light pierces the sea of ​​stars, let the pulse of the soul resound throughout the world! Synchronous Summon, [Shining Dragon Stardust]!"

Suddenly, a beam of synchronized light shot out, and a giant silver-white dragon covered in starlight appeared.

'roar--!!'

【Flash Dragon Stardust: Attack Power 2500】

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"That's not all! [Revolutionary Synergy] has another effect!"

As Yusei flipped over the cards in his deck, he explained, "This effect can only be activated if this card is in the Graveyard and you control a Synchro Monster of Level 7 or higher. By sending the top card of your deck to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card to the field. This card Special Summoned by this effect becomes Level 1."

[Revolutionary Synergy Member: Attack Power 900]

Yusei stopped there, because when a Synchro Monster declares an attack, the [Scrap Socket Dragon] can banish itself to increase that Synchro Monster's ATK by 800 for the current turn, so the total damage is already sufficient.

Then Yusei waved his arm and shouted, "Battle begins! [Stardust Charge Warrior] Attacks [Eternal Flame Guardian]! Meteor Shower!"

The next second, the steel wings on the back of the charged warrior instantly transformed into missiles and shot out, pouring towards the Eternal Flame Guardian.

Seeing this, Guiliu calmly pressed a button. "Heh~! You think that level of attack will be effective?"

"Let me show you my bare-handed combo... Activate the Continuous Trap [Bare-handed Illusion]. When you control a monster with [Infernal Flame] in its name, you can banish all cards in your hand face down once per turn until your next Standby Phase."

[Oniri Kyosuke’s hand card: 3 → 0]

"And when your hand is empty, [Infernal Guardian] cannot be destroyed by combat or effects!"

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding—!

In an instant, all the missiles were unleashed upon the skull shield, but unfortunately, they only produced a clanging sound, and the shield remained completely undamaged.

Upon seeing this, Jack exclaimed in surprise, "This is the unarmed team?!"

Crow: "Completely different from the old Ghost Willow..."

"Hehehehehehe~! That won't do, you have to do everything in your power to satisfy me, Yusei!"

“…” Yusei pondered for a moment, then said loudly, “Then I will use a level 6 Stardust Charger to tune a level 1 Revolution Synchron!”

"Summon Synchro! Light, come forth, [Lightbringer]!"

Suddenly, lightning struck, and a blond warrior covered in white armor landed next to the Flash Dragon.

[Lightning Warrior: Defense 1200]

"Finally, set two more cards face down to end the turn."

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 3 → 1]

After turning another corner, Guiliu immediately pulled out a card.

"My turn!"

(Yusei Fudo SPC2, Kyosuke Kiryu SPC2)

"Based on the effect of [Illusion of Empty Hands], the three cards that were banished because of this card during my Standby Phase return to my hand."

[Oniri Kyosuke’s hand card: 0 → 4]

"Set one card face down, then summon [Infernal Beast] from your hand!"

After a Cerberus appeared, Kiryu pressed another button on the Duel Disk, "Activate the Continuous Trap [Blood Compensation]. You can pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon a monster during your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase."

[Kyosuke Onyanagi: LP4000→3500]

"I release [Infernal Flame Beast] and [Infernal Flame Guardian], and summon the Dark Adjuster [DT Nightmare Hand]!"

As the sound faded, the two monsters on the front field were swallowed by darkness in the blink of an eye, and a humanoid pitch-black nightmare was suddenly summoned.

Jack exclaimed in surprise, "Dark adjustments have appeared!? That means..."

Clearly, Jack had already encountered a puppet controlling the Dark Synchro Monster before this.

At this moment, Kiryu raised his third monster card and continued, "When [DT Nightmare Hand] is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from your hand, and Special Summon [Infernal Dwarf]!"

After summoning the dwarf, his hand became empty again.

[Oniri Kyosuke’s hand card: 4 → 0]

Yusei narrowed his eyes. "Is it coming?! Dark Synchronization..."

At that moment, Gui Liu stopped waiting and immediately shouted, "Use a level 2 [Eternal Fire Dwarf] to Darkly tune a level 10 [DT Nightmare Hand]!"

The Nightmare Hand transformed into ten orbs of light that surrounded the dwarf. The next second, it forcefully passed through the dwarf's body and eliminated two of the stars, leaving only eight black stars.

"When the dark curtain falls, the Eye of the Underworld will open! Darkness descends, Darkness in Harmony!"

"Appear, [Hundred-Eyed Dragon]!!"

The next moment, darkness expanded, and countless eyes opened in the depths of the darkness. As the darkness dissipated, a dark dragon with Cthulhu-style features covered in eyes came into everyone's view.

[Hundred-Eyed Dragon: Attack Power 3000]

Crow: "What?! This kind of monster... Kiryu didn't have any of these in his previous decks..."

“Level -8, attack power 3000... Guiliu, is this your ace monster now?” Yusei stared at the giant dragon with a solemn expression.

Its effects are definitely different from the synchronized version of the Hundred-Eyed Dragon, and its effects are even much stronger than the latter.

Chapter 46 Breaking the Unarmed Combination (Revised)

"Hehehe~! Attack the Lightning Warrior with the [Hundred-Eyed Dragon]!"

Gui Liu disregarded past ties and declared his attack without hesitation. The Hundred-Eyed Demon Dragon opened its mouth, and dark power gathered within.

Seeing this, Yusei quickly waved his arm and shouted, "Activate the Trap Card, [Scrap Scarecrow]!"

However, the card didn't open as expected. Yusei exclaimed, "What?!"

"Hehehe~! Useless. The effect of [Hundred-Eyed Dragon] is that while this card is face-up, it gains the effects of all DARK monsters in the Graveyard!"

"What did you say!?" Upon hearing this description, Yusei's expression changed drastically.

With just this one effect, the Dark Synchro version of Hundred-Eyed Dragon is far stronger than the Synchro version, which can only copy one Level 6 or lower DARK monster from the Graveyard, and only for one turn.

And the Dark Synchro version of Hundred-Eyed Dragon not only has a continuous effect, but it also copies all DARK monsters... Good grief, are you trying to fly to the heavens?!

"I have [Infernal Beast] in my graveyard. [Hundred-Eyed Dragon] gains the effect of this monster, which means that when it attacks with zero cards in its hand, the opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards."

As soon as Gui Liu finished speaking, all the eyes on the Hundred-Eyed Dragon opened and emitted an eerie, malevolent light.

Upon seeing this, Yusei shouted again, "But you can't seal monster effects... [Stardust Dragon]'s effect activates, [Dazzler] cannot be destroyed by battle once this turn!"

Gui Liu sneered upon hearing this: "But battle damage will still occur. [Hundred-Eyed Dragon] gains the effect of [Infernal Dwarf] from the Graveyard. When your hand is empty, if a monster on your field attacks a defense monster, and its attack power exceeds that defense power, inflict battle damage equal to that amount to your opponent!"

"Hmph! This is the power of an empty-handed combo with zero cards in hand!"

"Go! [Hundred-Eyed Dragon], Infinite Eye Wave!"

Under his command, the energy in the Hundred-Eyed Dragon's mouth instantly erupted, hurtling towards the Lightning Warrior, and the fel breath swallowed him up on the spot.

boom--! ! !

“Ughh ...!!!”

Although the Lightning Warrior wasn't destroyed by the attack, the impact caused Yusei's D-Wheel to slip, instantly losing its balance and going out of control.

[Yusei Fudo: LP 4000 → 2200]

(Yusei Fudo SPC1, Kyosuke Kiryu SPC2)

Jack & Crow: "Yusei!!"

After Yusei's D-wheel spun around a few times, he finally managed to adjust the balance and barely stabilize the car.

Guiliu glanced behind him and sneered, "Heh, how else would it work, Yusei? I won't let you die, I'll make you taste even more of the agony of dying... End of round."
