Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"A monster with 2000 defense? It's just 100 points lower than Cyber ​​Dragon's attack power... Heh! Yusei, is this the savior you're counting on?"

"It seems that I can't save you from the fire and water!"

Looking at the drunk monster lying lazily on the ground opposite him with a look of despair, Caesar couldn't help but chuckle.

However, before he could be happy for a moment, the Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity, which had been showing an unyielding attitude, was as if grasped by an invisible hand and was forced into a defensive position.

And the red wave emanating from the body of Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity, which was originally intended to suck the Evil Blade Demon in to use as a cushion, seemed to have never existed and suddenly dissipated into nothingness.

Not only that, at this moment, all the monsters in the field, whether it was Caesar's or Yusei's... were forcibly turned into defense position.

"Varied……"

Confused about what was happening, Caesar's smile froze on his face.

"Ah? What happened?"

The audience, who also had doubts about the current situation, also expressed their doubts.

Just now the situation was one-sided with [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity] showing its might, how come there was a sudden reversal and the whole place fell into a slump?

Excuse me? ? ?

what is the problem?

“Caesar! I knew it… You don’t have [Red Restart] in your hand, so you can’t stop me from activating a Trap Card…”

Caesar: "..."

Speaking calmly, Yusei answered Caesar's question: "When [No. 41 Mud Sleeping Monster Sleeping Tapir] is in Defense Position on the field, all face-up monsters on the field will be forcibly changed to Defense Position, and... the effects activated by the Defense Position monsters on the field will also be negated!"

"That is to say, even if the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity] in defense position is activated, that effect will be negated!"

The effect of [No.41 Mud Sleeping Tapir] is a permanent effect that can be automatically executed without being activated, so it cannot be chained and is not affected by the Cyber ​​Dragon's infinite counter ability.

Just like that, Yusei successfully neutralized the attack from [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity] by using the Xyz Summon during Caesar's turn, and brought the initiative of the turn back to his side.

"[No.41 Mud Sleeping Monster Sleeping Tapir]... Yusei, unlike [Masked Hero Dark Claw] which unilaterally blocks the opponent's graveyard, the effect of this monster is also effective on you. You also cannot activate the effects of your own monsters."

Thinking about Youxing's plan, Caesar put forward his own guess: "Could it be that you are planning to engage in a tug-of-war with me?"

"No, that's not the case... A tug-of-war requires a lot of resources, and it also places a lot of emphasis on the deck's ability to sustain itself... Whether it's your Cyber ​​Dragon or my Hero, they're both high-explosive decks... They're not suitable for this kind of tactic of staying alive until death."

Waving his right hand, Yusei said without any concern: "The influence you mentioned does exist... but as long as I put [No. 41 Mud Sleeping Monster Sleeping Tapir] into attack position in the next turn, then this influence will be equivalent to non-existence."

"I see... With this in mind, you chose to perform the Xyz Summon during my turn." After nodding, Caesar looked at his hand and ambushed two cards in the backcourt: "Well done... It really surprised me and interrupted my strategy..."

"Then... I'll ambush two cards and end my turn."

The forced reversal of defense means that the attack cannot be carried out, which means... the previous tactics will not work.

After seeing through this, Caesar ended his turn readily and waited for the next opportunity.

As Youxing said, he can indeed freely remove the blocking effect of [No.41 Mud Sleeping Beast Tapir] by reversing its attack and defense posture during his own turn.

But... the impact of this effect also exists on both sides.

Yusei can indeed free his monster from the restraint of the Sleepy Tapir Point, but in contrast, Caesar's Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity will also be freed at the same time, bringing a great suppressive force to Yusei.

Generally speaking, each monster can only switch between offense and defense once per round.

Once Yusei turns [No.41 Mud Sleeping Beast Sleeping Tapir] into Attack Position, he can only change it to Defense Position again during his next turn.

And this vacuum period in the middle is the opportunity that Caesar has.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"As the price for the existence of [No. 41 Mud Sleeping Monster Sleeping Tapir], during my preparation phase, I will send [Elemental Hero Skyman], which serves as its Xyz material, to the graveyard."

When it was his turn, Yusei drew a new card from the deck and sent a Xyz Material Monster that maintained the existence of [No.41 Mud Sleeping Tapir] to the Graveyard.

Then, as previously predicted, he used [No. 41 Mud Sleeping Tapir] as the starting point and transformed all of his monsters into attack position.

[Evil Heart Hero Blade Demon] (Attack Power: 2600)

[Wake up your sleeping elemental hero] (Attack power: 3100)

[No.41 Mud Sleeping Monster Sleeping Tapir] (Attack Power: 2100)

[Masked Hero Dark Claw] (Attack Power: 2400)

On the other hand, on the other side of Caesar's field, it was -

[Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity] (Defense: 1600)

[Cyber ​​Dragon] (Defense: 1600)

[Electronic Dragon Core] (Defense: 1500)

…and two cover cards.

"Did you set the card? Then... I put [Elemental Hero Skyman] in Attack Position! And activate its effect, select this card and destroy the number of Magic and Trap Cards on the field except this card as many as [Hero] monsters!"

"In addition to [Elemental Hero Skyman], I also have [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Hero], [Masked Hero Dark Claw], and [Evil Heart Hero Blade Demon] on the field. These three different types of hero monsters do not need prefixes. Therefore, I can destroy up to three face-up cards on the field!"

The Sky Man who died of overwork appeared on the field as Youxing finished speaking. He stretched out his arms towards Caesar's Geka and generated two spiral air currents.

Pointing at Caesar's backcourt, Yousei said with a smile: "No matter what those face-up cards are, make them disappear first! Of course, you can also choose to activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity] to negate and destroy the effect of Skyman."

If Caesar wants to protect these cards, he must activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity].

After losing this only weak point, Caesar's end is no longer a threat to Youxing.

"I knew... you would target my card."

Facing the incoming spiral airflow, Caesar did not choose to activate the counter effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity], but directly opened the cover card behind him.

"...Activate the Trap Cards [Electronic Overflow] and [Electronic Revolution]!"

-

【Electronic Overflow】

(Usually a Trap Card)

Effect: Each of the ① and ② effects of this card name can be used once per turn.

①: Select any number of "Cyber ​​Dragons" from your hand, Graveyard, and face-up monsters on your field and banish them (up to 1 of the same Level). After that, select and destroy cards on your opponent's field for that number of banished cards.

②: You can only activate this card if it is destroyed by an effect. Add 1 "Electronic" Magic/Trap Card or "Electronic Tech" Magic/Trap Card from your deck to your hand.

-

【Electronic Revolution】

(Usually a Trap Card)

Effect: Only 1 card with this card name can be activated per turn.

①: You can activate this effect by releasing 1 "Cyber ​​Dragon" on your field. Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck using a "Cyber ​​Dragon" monster as Fusion Material. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack directly, and is destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn.

-

The two cover cards in Caesar's backfield are both trap cards from Cyber ​​Dragon's family...

439 Caesar: I'm at full health, but I'm starting to struggle!

"Activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Overflow], banish [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] on my field and [Cyber ​​Dragon Type 2] in my hand, destroy [Masked Hero Dark Claw] on your field, and [Awaken your sleeping Elemental Hero]."

"Then, according to the effect of [Cyber ​​Revolution], I release the [Cyber ​​Dragon] on my field and Special Summon my trump card monster from the Extra Deck - [Cyber ​​End Dragon]!!!"

Compliment each other to show friendship.

While the Gacha was being targeted by Yusei's Skyman, Caesar opened the Gachas in the backcourt without hesitation and chose to activate them.

The effect of destruction can only destroy the cards themselves, but cannot prevent their effects from being activated.

As Caesar finished his words, two rushing overflowing electric currents simultaneously wrapped around the bodies of Friend Man and Wake-up Brother, and then dragged them into the cemetery amid a series of explosions.

In this way, while destroying the opponent's blockade, Caesar also summoned his own ace monster from the extra deck - [CyberTerminator Dragon].

So, the scene that unfolded before everyone's eyes was this - Caesar, who had arranged the chain, followed Yusei's previous actions and carried out his own development during his turn.

The destructive effect of Sky Man's magic trap is just a destruction of loneliness.

[Electronic Terminator Dragon] (Attack Power: 4000)

"You ruined my loneliness, didn't you?"

"As expected of Caesar... This is how a duel should be fought!" Admiring the opponent's tactical arrangement, Youxing looked at his own cards.

At present, he has no effective solution to this situation on the field.

However, the [Cyber ​​End Dragon] with an attack power of 4000 and the [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity] in defense position with a defense power of 1600 are both targets that need to be dealt with urgently in this round.

If these two troubles are not resolved, then when it is Caesar's next turn, Youxing will face the triple attack of sucking monsters, penetrating defense, and full health!

In attack mode, it will be sucked away by [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity], and in defense mode, it will be penetrated by [Cyber ​​End Dragon]. If you don't summon monsters, you will have to face their direct attacks.

Even if you want to cover the card, you have to take into account the counter effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity]...

Even in this round, if Youxing wants to continue to expand, he must pay attention to the interference of [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity]. If he is not careful, his expansion point will be interrupted by it, and he will fall into an embarrassing situation.

"…The effect of [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Hero] on the field is activated! When this card is destroyed, I can Special Summon a Warrior-Type monster from my hand or deck!"

"Oh? Warrior monster... Are you planning to summon a new hero?" Instead of choosing to resist this effect, Caesar crossed his arms and took a leisurely pose.

In fact, this was the first time he had seen this monster, so he didn't know what abilities it had.

"No! That's not the case... The special summon targets of [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Hero] are not limited to [Hero] monsters. As long as they are Warrior-type monsters that can be special summoned, they are within the range of this effect!"

Yusei said this, pulled a card from his deck, and slapped it on the duel disk: "And the one I plan to special summon is the hardworking warrior..."

“Come out! [Mighty Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Freed]!!!”

-

[The Mighty Phoenix Sword Saint Kiya Freed]

(Warrior type/Fire/9 stars/Attack power: 3000/Defense power: 2200)

Effect: You can only use the effects of ①②③ of this card name once per turn.

①: You can activate this effect by banishing 1 Equip Magic Card from your field or Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand.

②: You can only activate this card at the beginning of the Damage Step. Select 1 face-up monster on the field other than this card and equip it to this card as an Equip Card that increases its ATK by 500 (only 1 can be equipped).

③: When a monster's effect is activated, you can activate this card by sending 1 face-up Equip Card on your field to the Graveyard. That activation is negated and destroyed.

-

Kia Freed, who has appeared since the first generation of the animation and now has various forms, is reborn from the ashes with the flames of the phoenix and comes to Yusei in a new posture.

Behind him, there was an endless raging fire, releasing endless and intense pressure.

"Caesar! You will regret not activating the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon: Infinity] in time and plan my deployment!"

Yusei did not even intend to give the opponent a chance to struggle. He summoned a new monster and directly waved his hand to enter his own battle phase: "[Evil Heart Hero Evil Blade Demon] (Attack Power: 2600) attacks [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity] (Defense Power: 1600)! Take it! Evil Heart Shock Wave!!!"

Putting down his crossed hands, the Evil Blade Demon with an evil smile projected the spikes on his arms directly towards [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity]. At this stage of breaking through the air, the spikes also turned into a semicircular ripple, carrying an unstoppable force, swallowing up the Ultimate Cyber ​​Dragon in one fell swoop.

It didn't have time to activate its effect, and thus faced the end of its exit with regret.

"Hmm...Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity..."

Caesar crossed his arms in front of his body to block the smoke generated by the monster's explosion.

"It's not over yet! When [Evil Hero Blade Demon] attacks a monster in Defense Position, it can inflict damage equal to the opponent's attack power exceeding its defense power... In other words, Caesar! You will take 1000 points of defense penetration damage!"

(Marufuji Ryo LP: 4000 → 3000)

"Then comes the attack of [Mighty Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Freed]. Go ahead! Phoenix Sword Saint... show your determination to [Electronic End Dragon]! Cross that seemingly insurmountable wall!"

“…Mighty Phoenix Slash!!!”

After dealing with the troublesome [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity], Yusei removed the Sword of Damocles that had been hovering above his head.

Now, he no longer has to worry about his deployment and the activation of effects being interrupted!

"Yusei...are you crazy? [Cyber ​​End Dragon] can have an attack power of up to 4000 points! Are you planning to let [Mighty Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Freed] with an attack power of 3000 destroy himself?"

Unable to understand Yusei's thoughts, Caesar couldn't help but ask this question as he watched this monster he had never seen before rushing towards his Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon.
