Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

After saying this meaningless sentence, DD calmly raised his arm and unfolded the duel disk in his hand: "Let's begin! Our duel begins."

"Huh...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Feeling quite unhappy with DD's confident attitude, Dr. Kreguta also raised his arm and unfolded the duel disk in his hand: "I want to see if your true strength as a champion is as arrogant as your attitude!"

“…Duel!”

“…Duel!”

(DD LP: 4000)

(Dr. Kreguta LP: 4000)

"My turn, draw a card!"

The duel began. DD, who took the initiative, waved his arm and quickly placed a monster card in his hand horizontally on the duel disk: "I summon this monster in defense position... Come out! [Emperor Envoy - Mystery] (Defense: 1200)!"

A humanoid monster wearing a white robe and a priest mask on his head appeared in front of him with his arms folded as DD's voice fell.

After summoning the monster, DD placed another card from his hand on the back field of the Duel Board: "Next, I ambush a card, and the turn ends."

Without further expansion and without being sure of the opponent's tactics, DD chose the safest way to play, summoning one to cover one, and then ended his turn.

"Hmph, it's my turn, draw a card!"

Dr. Kreguta glanced disdainfully at DD's finale, holding the card he had just drawn, curled his lips, and said with a smug smile: "DD...it seems that your last day as the champion has come to an end. You have to leave this stage before you have time to enjoy the honor!"

"…If you want to know why, it's because I already have this card that can draw out the strongest power in my deck!"

Raising the card in his hand, Dr. Kregutta felt an unprecedented sense of self-confidence.

It seems that God is helping me too.

I will definitely be the champion of the professional league!

"...Oh? Interesting. Since you are so confident, let me see the deck you put together with your so-called IQ of 200."

With his hands on his waist, the expression on DD's face changed slightly, from being calm at first to now gradually becoming a bit crazy.

"Humph! Then you better open your eyes wide!"

With his eyes fixed, Dr. Kreguta waved his hand fiercely and inserted the card in his hand into the back field of the duel disk: "...I activated the continuous magic card [Dimensional Crack] from my hand!!!"

"…As long as this card is on the field, all monsters sent to the Graveyard will not be sent to the Graveyard, but will be banished directly!"

"Oh? Except?"

Following Dr. Kreguta's movement, a diamond-shaped extra-dimensional space immediately appeared above his head.

Feeling the pressure faintly emanating from that different dimension, DD couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation on his face.

"Next, I activate the magic card [Angel's Charity], draw three cards from the deck, and then choose two cards from my hand to discard!"

Without stopping his actions, Dr. Kreguta drew three cards from the deck at once, and then chose to discard two monster cards in his hand without hesitation.

"According to the effect of [Dimensional Crack]... Since the two cards I discarded are monster cards, these cards will not be sent to the Graveyard, but will be directly banished!"

Pointing to the space crack above his head that connected to the other dimension and was constantly expanding around him, Dr. Kreguta put the two cards into his pocket to indicate that the two cards were in an excluded state.

Of course, judging from the virtual images on the duel field, these two cards were absorbed by the attraction of the [Dimensional Crack] and sent to an unknown place.

"Then, I activate the Spell Card [Mining of the Spell Stone], discard two cards in my hand, select a Spell Card in the Graveyard and add it to my hand... I discard the two monster cards in my hand and retrieve the Spell Card [Angel's Charity] that I just activated from the Graveyard!"

"...Next, I activate this [Angel's Charity], draw three cards from my deck, and then choose two cards from my hand and discard them!"

Two, two, and two more...

Dr. Kreguta, who keeps discarding cards from his hand through the effects of magic cards, has already eliminated as many as six monster cards.

Watching his operation, everyone in the audience couldn't help but show a look of confusion on their faces.

“… Damn, what is this guy doing? Why is he constantly discarding his hand? These cards have all been banished, right?”

At the Duel Academy, on the other side of the screen, watching Dr. Kreguta's confusing operations, Yuki Judai couldn't help but utter a puzzled question.

What’s going on? Has this guy lost his mind?

You can search it if you want, but what does it mean to create a crack for yourself at the beginning? Are you trying to prevent the [proliferation of G]?

"No, this guy did it on purpose. I think... this is probably what he calls a winning tactic."

Analyzing Dr. Kreguta's tactics, Yusei gave his own guess.

Dr. Kreguta's behavior always reminded him of the famous "Red Thunder Slide Newspaper Agency" combination.

The principle of that combination is to use various cards with suppressing effects as an aid, and by constantly eliminating cards, to increase the attack power of [Red Lotus Beast] to tens of thousands at one time, thereby ending the opponent's health in one go.

Dr. Kregatta is constantly eliminating monsters. Although he is not as fierce as the One Punch Crimson Beast, he must have similar ideas.

"With this, the number of monsters I have eliminated... has reached 6."

After completing the operation in his hands, Dr. Kreguta's expression relaxed a little. Looking in the direction of DD, he spoke lightly and explained the current situation.

However, DD, who was watching Dr. Kreguta telling stories, stretched his body sleepily and yawned loudly: "Hey, hey... you are not going to continue telling stories, are you? If you keep going like this, it will be dark by the time it's my turn~"

"Humph! Isn't it normal for a duelist to tell stories? There's nothing to be impatient about."

Dr. Kreguta was slightly annoyed by DD's nonchalant attitude. He frowned and continued, "It seems that you are a champion who doesn't know etiquette. Just wait patiently. I will take your throne away soon!"

After making such a bold statement to DD, Dr. Kreguta took out a new magic card in his hand, raised it high above his head, and activated it under the gaze of everyone.

625 The Real Devil

"...Look here, DD. This is the ultimate card that will allow me to snatch the championship from you!"

With the hope of victory in his heart, Dr. Kreguta suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out a card from his hand, raised it high above his head, and then activated it under the gaze of everyone.

"I activate the Spell Card [Dimensional Fusion] from my hand! According to the effect of this card, I can Special Summon as many banished monsters as possible to my field by paying my 2000 life points!"

(Dr. Kreguta LP: 4000 → 2000)

Several purple beams of light emerged from the dimensional cracks.

As Dr. Kreguta finished his words, the monsters that he had previously discarded and excluded through the effects of magic cards now returned from the other-dimensional space through these light pillars and were special summoned to his field as much as possible.

"Come on! My monsters!"

"【Queen of the Universe】(Attack Power: 2900), 【Magic Valkyrie】(Attack Power: 1600), 【Dark Mage Kulan】(Attack Power: 1200)..."

Every time Dr. Kreguta reads the name of a monster, a new monster will appear on his field.

And when Dr. Kreguta's last words fell, the five monster grids in front of him were already filled with monsters returning from another dimension.

What was presented to everyone was a scene where five monsters, including three [Magic Valkyries], [Queen of the Universe], and [Dark Magician Kuran], appeared on the same stage in one round.

"Awesome! Summoned five monsters in one go!"

Watching Dr. Kreguta's operation, Yuki Judai, who was watching in front of the TV, couldn't help but sigh: "If DD takes the attacks of these monsters, he will be killed instantly!"

“…It’s not just that.”

Taking over Yusei Judai's topic, Yusei added, "Dr. Kreguta's five monsters on the field are all Magician-type, and the effect of [Magic Valkyrie] is that when it is on the field, the opponent cannot choose other Magician-type monsters as attack targets... Two [Magic Valkyries] on the field at the same time can limit the opponent's attack, and now there are three on the field!"

Just like [Captain of the Charge], [Magic Valkyrie] also has a similar attack limiting effect.

As long as two [Magic Valkyries] are summoned on the field, they can achieve the effect of restraining each other and directly block the opponent's means of attack.

In this case, even if DD manages to survive this round of attacks, in the next round, even if he summons a monster with high attributes, he will not be able to attack Dr. Kregatta again.

If Dr. Kregatta's territory is not cleared, then in every subsequent round, DD will have to find a way to survive the monsters' five consecutive attacks like a raging wave to prevent itself from being taken away by Dr. Kregatta's monsters.

Professor Chronos: "Due to the effect of Magic Valkyrie, DD cannot attack..."

Coach Napoleon: "...and the effect of [Dark Mage Kuran] is that every time you reach your preparation phase, your opponent will receive damage equal to the number of monsters on your field x 300 points..."

Kenzan: "Even if DD summons a monster, it can't attack. If it doesn't summon a monster, it will face direct attacks from the magicians..."

Yusei: "Yeah, whether it's attack or defense, it seems quite disadvantageous to DD... As expected of a duelist with an IQ of 200, Dr. Kreguta's place is an iron wall!"

"I can actually achieve this level in one round..."

"Is this... a duel between professional players?"

Staring closely at the screen in front of them, Yusei, Yuki Judai, Kenzan, and Ed on the yacht were all looking forward to DD's next response.

“…Hehahahaha!!! DD, you’ve done pretty well as a champion in the past ten years. At least… I’ll let you disappear as soon as possible!”

Laughing triumphantly, Dr. Kreguta glanced around and completed the final deployment in the Seahorse Dome. While feeling the fearful or admiring glances from those around him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart.

The same group of audience members had just ignored him and looked down on him.

But now, this attitude immediately changed and became eager and fearful.

Strength is respected, this is what it means!

"Oh, you talk a lot of nonsense..."

DD adjusted his glasses on his nose and acted nonchalant.

Even though it seemed that he was about to be defeated by Dr. Kreguta's monsters, there was not much panic on his face.

"...Humph! You're just being pretentious! I want to see how long you can maintain this leisurely attitude!"

Dr. Kreguta narrowed his eyes and looked unfriendly. After a cold laugh, he waved his hand and pointed at DD: "...It's over, [Queen of the Universe] attack that bastard!"

“…Take that, Light of the Universe!”

As a card from ancient times, the [Queen of the Universe], which existed at the same time as the [Lion Wizard], has a very awesome name and description, saying that she is the queen who rules all life in the universe.

However, she is actually just a white humanoid monster wearing a cloak with 2900 attack points.

Compared to the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], which is a unit of measurement for combat power, it is still a little worse.

But even so, it is more than enough to deal with the [Emperor's Envoy - Mystery] (Defense: 1200) on the DD field.

After destroying the monster in defense position, Dr. Kreguta then planned to command the three [Magic Valkyries] and [Dark Magician Kuran] on the field to launch a direct attack on DD.

The combined attack power of all the remaining monsters is 6000 points of combat damage, which is enough to reduce DD's 4000 health points to 0, thus winning the duel.

"...The moment you attack, I'll open the cover card in the backcourt!"

After hearing Dr. Kreguta's instructions, the Queen of the Universe immediately gathered her hands together and rubbed out a black energy ball in the direction of DD.

Facing the attack coming towards his monster, DD curled his lips and immediately flipped open the face card in the backfield: "... Activate the Counter Trap Card [Attack Disablement]! Make the opponent's monster's attack ineffective and force the Battle Phase to end!"

“…Zhao! It’s [Attack Disablement]?!”

An invisible protective shield blocked the energy ball in front of it, blocking the attack of the [Queen of the Universe] on behalf of DD.

Looking at the trap card activated by DD, Dr. Kreguta bit his teeth hard, and finally waved his hand helplessly to end his battle phase: "Humph! Although you have survived the attack of this round, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to you in the next round. In the end... you will only suffer!"

"Entering Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card [Magic Blast] from my hand. Based on the effect of this card, I inflict 200 points of damage to my opponent's Spellcaster-Type monsters on the field..."

(DD LP: 4000 → 3000)

As the effect of the magic card was activated, DD's life points decreased by 1000 points. Dr. Kreguta, who was showing the magic card in his hand, continued, "Also, the effect of [Magic Blast] has a sequel. During my draw phase, I can add this card from the graveyard to my hand instead of the normal draw."

"...Which means that even if you manage to dodge the attack, you will still be hurt by this treasure!"

DD: “…”

There are five Magician-Type monsters on Dr. Kreguta's field, which means DD will receive 1000 points of damage.

And as the rounds go by, this damage will gradually accumulate and eventually become uncontrollable.

From now on, every time it is Dr. Kreguta's turn, he will receive at least 1000 points of damage from [Magic Explosion] and [Black Mage Kuran]!

"For now, I'll spare your life... I'll ambush a card, and the turn will end!"

After making such a bold statement, Dr. Kreguta placed a trap card in his hand on his backcourt, and then waved his hand to end his turn.

The card he ambushed in the backfield was the Continuous Trap Card [Torture Wheel], which had the ability to block the attack and form of a monster on the opponent's field.

Furthermore, as long as this card and the monster affected by this card are on the field, you can cause 500 points of damage to your opponent during the preparation phase of your turn!

So strictly speaking, the effect damage DD receives each turn is - 500 points from [Torture Wheel], 1000 points from [Magic Blast], and 300 points from [Black Magician Kuran] × the number of monsters on the field.

Even if DD does nothing, the guaranteed damage is 1800 points.

Not to mention the five-hit combo from the magician monsters...

No matter how you look at it, DD is now in a desperate situation where he is doomed to die, with absolutely no hope of a comeback.
