Chapter 150. You Broke the Stardust Dragon Family with Just One Card? Elders of Every Duel World Have Collapsed!
5D's World.
Yusei Fudo stared at the scene in front of him, already dumbstruck, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Yes.
Members of the Stardust Dragon family had gathered in front of him! Of course, that also included some other Stardust Dragon ace monsters!
Almost every powerful giant monster that was supposed to appear on the field had already been Summoned to the field!
Stardust Dragon? Junk?
Is this the power after his Stardust Dragon and Junk Dragon fused together?
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
You call this a Stardust "pile" Deck?
"What the hell? This is the true power of Stardust Junk? It has to be fake!"
"Impossible! Absolutely fake! I must be seeing things! Six Level 12 bosses?"
"But this is the truth, Yusei! Can your Deck reach this level?"
"Too hard, it's just insanely hard. He even Summoned big bro Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!"
Leo, Luna, Jack, and the others immediately launched into a heated discussion!
After the discussion ended, they all looked at Yusei Fudo's expression!
They became even more certain!
Impossible!
Judging by the strength of their Decks!
This situation simply couldn't happen!
Or more precisely!
Too many key equations were missing!
VRAINS World.
Captain Left, Yusaku Fujiki, Soulburner, and the others took a deep breath, then slowly let it out.
Maybe they didn't want to admit it.
But this explosive wave of development in Synchro Radiation
forced them to admit one thing!
This is a Synchro Deck!
Its resource utilization efficiency is astonishingly higher than their Link Decks!
It's that Celestial Double Star Shaman!
This card was recycled over and over!
And it's also the key card for Summoning the Level 12 boss!
Even if they were masters of Link!
Even if they believed they understood Link's resource utilization best,
now, after seeing this, they couldn't help feeling it simply couldn't be compared to "Junk No. 2."
Synchro!
The gap!
It's too huge!
And there's also the Crimson Dragon! It can even transform monsters during the opponent's turn!
In other words!
This Crimson Dragon card is not the final card under the current situation!
It's in the short clip too!
It was already Abyss Master's turn.
Strangely, he didn't pay attention to the opponent's cards on the field.
Abyss Lord: "So strong! So cool!"
Abyss Lord: "No wonder they say Synchro will destroy the world."
Abyss Master: "My turn, I draw."
Fei'erdadi: "The moment you draw!"
Fei'erdadi: "I activate the Crimson Dragon's effect, targeting the Level 12 Shooting Quasar Dragon!"
Emperor Fei Two: "I'm back, Crimson Dragon! My final winning secret is already written!"
"This monster!"
"Will definitely claim the final victory!"
"Come out! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!!!"
As expected!
The Crimson Dragon can begin its final transformation at any time during the opponent's turn!
It truly shocked everyone!
This time, what appeared was a Level 12 monster!
It had nothing to do with Stardust Dragon!
It was actually an ace monster related to the Red Dragon Archfiend line!
The effect of "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity" on the field also activated!
This card can only be activated when it is Synchro Summoned.
For the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects on the field.
Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation.
In a Duel!
Everything here was completely locked down!
Duelists from all Duel Worlds—only now did they reexamine the final ace board of "Discard No. 2's" Deck!
First ace! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!
DARK Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 4000 / 3500
Its "last breath" can revive 1 Level 8 or lower DARK Dragon Synchro Monster from Gravekeeper's Servant!
Second ace! Shooting Quasar Dragon!
LIGHT Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 4000 / 4000
Once per turn, it can negate the activation of a Spell, Trap, or monster effect, and destroy it.
Its "last breath" can Special Summon Shooting Star Dragon!
Third ace! Cosmic Blazar Dragon!
WIND Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 4000 / 4000
Negate Summons, three-color negation.
It can also negate the opponent's attack and end the Battle Phase.
Because it banishes itself as a Quick Effect, it can protect the monster.
Fourth ace! Red Supernova Dragon!
DARK Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 6000 / 3000
Under its effect boost, its ATK rises from 4000 to 6000, and it has built-in resistance to destruction by card effects!
When an opponent's monster effect is activated, or when an opponent's monster declares an attack, this card and all cards your opponent controls can be banished.
Fifth ace! [Cosmic Quasar Dragon]!
LIGHT Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 4000 / 4000
Its effect allows it to choose up to the number of monsters used as Synchro Material + 1 face-up cards on the field (the activation and effect of this effect cannot be negated). The effects of the chosen cards are negated.
Its second effect is a Quick Effect: it can banish itself and Special Summon a monster!
Sixth ace! Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon!
LIGHT Dragon-Type!
Level 12, 4000 / 4000
It makes each card you control immune to being destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn.
After negating a monster effect, it can also destroy 1 card!
After understanding the various effects of the six Level 12 ace monsters,
the Duel Worlds fell into silence.
How do you respond to this?
How do you even begin to solve this!
Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, and the others all forced themselves into this corner!
They wracked their brains, yet couldn't think of any way to break this "board."
Even if you used Dark Ruler No More!
But dealing with so many 4000 ATK monsters at once!
That is not an easy thing!
Nibiru, the Primal Being?
If you used it at the start!
Maybe there would still be hope to save it!
But now, forget it!
There's no saving it!
Monsters and Lava Golem?
The problem is, do you have that many monsters and Lava Golems to eat?
It's over.
It's already over.
Shouldn't the opponent, Abyss Lord, surrender?
Should he do that?
Abyss Master: "My turn. I Set 1 mysterious Duel Monster."
Abyss Lord: "What's up?"
Fei'er Big Dad: "No need, please continue."
Abyss Lord: "Heh heh, nothing at all?"
Abyss Master: "Then I'll send your Shooting Quasar Dragon, Cosmic Blazar Dragon, and Red Supernova Dragon to Gravekeeper's Servant!"
"And also Cosmic Quasar Dragon, Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon, and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!"
"And also my Duel Monster, Aluber the Jester of Despia!"
"They are all sent to Gravekeeper's Servant through Contact Fusion!"
"Uncle!"
"Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon!!!"
The moment his words fell!
In this short clip, all "Wasteland No. 2's" Duel Monsters on the field were sent to Gravekeeper's Servant!
No Fusion method was used!
No Spell Cards were used.
No Duel Monsters were used.
Neither "Ash Blossom" nor "Joyous Spring" were used.
No Trap Cards were used.
"Trash No. 2" didn't even have time to react!
The opponent only needed to Set 1 Duel Monster.
Then perform Contact Fusion.
Yes.
Just like that.
All of "Wasteland No. 2's" ace Duel Monsters! All of them became the opponent's dowry Fusion Materials!
They were just sent to Gravekeeper's Servant like that.
The entire process took less than 10 seconds.
Fei'erdadi: "I f***ing xxxxx"
Fei'er Big Dad: "I surrender!"
Fei'erdadi: "This is only the first Duel! I'm so damn unlucky!"
Silence.
Dead silence.
Falling from heaven straight into the abyss in an instant.
In that moment.
A duelist's Dao-heart.
And that pleasant thrill brought by an explosive combo chain.
And all those Level 12 Duel Monsters.
In the midst of that cursing, everything turned into bubbles.
In this short clip,
Fei'er Dies—before the opponent even had time to unleash his explosive combo—
surrendered directly at Speed 5.
Duel No.
Ended.
Yes, it ended just like that.
With the opponent having only 1 Duel Monster card left, the battle ended.
Broken.
Completely ruined.
After the silence, Duelists from every Duel World completely exploded with emotion!
"My God! What the hell is going on?! What just happened?!"
"I'm shocked! I can't believe it! This guy must be cheating! Those 6 Level 12 Duel Monsters are all gone?!"
"Too ridiculous! Simply ridiculous! Who can tell me! What exactly happened just now?"
"Wait? Branded? This Albaz seems to be Branded! That Duel Monster is Branded too!"
"..."
In the group chat! Messages instantly flooded in with 99+!
Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and the other first-generation elders couldn't control their emotions anymore, spamming question marks like crazy in the group!
Other Duelists' discussions refreshed so violently that messages vanished!
Someone asked why he surrendered!
Someone asked why all the bosses Fusion'd together!
Someone even asked whether that "Trash No. 2" player had Summoned a fist to express himself!
The group chat was filled with all kinds of questions!
5D's World.
Yusei Fudo and the other Duelists almost spat out a mouthful of stale blood!
Stardust Dragon, "Trash No. 2"—
it just vanished like that?
Stop! This isn't a Duel at all!
This is too vicious!
This is simply heartbreaking for a "Trash No. 2" player!
But at the same time,
Yusei and the others also realized that this result was caused by "Branded"!
At this moment!
Everyone's gaze focused again on that Duel Monster in the short clip!
Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon!
One of its effects
explained everything right in front of them at once!
This card cannot be used as Fusion Material. This card must be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon, or by the following method:
If the above cards are sent from your or your opponent's Monster Zone to Gravekeeper's Servant, you can Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck.
Yes!
And that Fusion requirement is—
Fallen of Albaz + 1 or more Dragon monsters!
At the same time,
Duelists from the ZEXAL World, the ARC-V World, and other Worlds also suddenly understood!
Dragon-Type!
The syndrome of diehard Dragon-deck fans!
These Level 12 Duel Monsters! They are all Dragons!
And with this Dragon-Type state,
it perfectly satisfied this Abyss Dragon's Fusion Summon condition!
The key is!
This doesn't need a Fusion Spell Card! This is Contact Fusion!
With these key points,
he could easily use all of the opponent's Dragon-Type Duel Monsters as Fusion Materials!
"So that's it! It really is Branded's fault!"
"Tch! My Dao-heart is shattered—if it were me, I'd probably quit the game!"
"Who wouldn't? This feels worse than getting hit by Nibiru, the Primal Being and then producing a damaged forcefield!"
"I'm numb. I finally understand—there's no invincible field, only shocking solutions!"
After understanding the situation, the group chat erupted again into intense discussion.
After fully understanding it!
They only felt their inner Duel worldview refreshed anew!
Such an unstoppable board,
and the solution was actually very simple!
Do you believe it?
In the main world,
Yusei Fudo let out a long breath.
He had finally made this short video for them to enjoy.
As expected,
Yusei Fudo completely broke down!
The 5D's World group chat had already exploded!
Yusei Fudo even saw Duelists in the Synchro group start asking all kinds of question marks!
Of course.
This appetizer short clip
was mainly meant to let the veterans of every world know this.
A Duel changes in an instant.
The key isn't how strong the Deck is, but how you break it!
Yusei Fudo: "Ahem! Everyone, quiet!"
Yusei Fudo: "After this video ends, I believe all of you"
Yusei Fudo: "will be able to understand our higher-world Duel Masters' battles more clearly."
"Of course, this is just an appetizer."
"In the future, many interesting solutions and combos will appear!"
"After calming down, let's start making the next short video content!"
"This is the short video content of the Millennium Eye VS the Ancient Gear King!"
"If you still remember the previous video exposing the Forbidden card released by K-Snake!"
"You'll see that card very soon!"
That card?
K-Snake's card exposure video?
Besides the 5D's World and the ARC-V Synchro World,
Duelists from other worlds gradually calmed down.
They had witnessed too many absurd Duels.
Maybe this really was just the tip of the iceberg!
Also.
If this time "Trash No. 2" had faced other Duelists,
and didn't just happen to luckily find a way to counter Branded,
maybe the result would have been different.
Maybe the opponent would have surrendered.
Good is repaid with good, evil is repaid with evil.
It's not that the debt won't be paid, it's that the time hasn't come yet!
"Ah, thinking about it carefully, that's true—having such a strong board, who knows how many Duelists…" "Trash No. 2" abused it!
"That's right! This time he was just unlucky and ran into a Duelist who happened to have that Fusion Monster."
"So you still have to look at strength. Setting aside the field wipe, those six Level 12 Dragons are still terrifyingly strong!"
"Exactly—if I dueled him, I guarantee I'd be faster than him! I'd surrender directly at Speed 6!"
The direction of the group chat immediately began to shift slightly.
Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yuma Tsukumo, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief!
They really needed to calm down and watch the upcoming Duel short clip!
As for Yusei and the others, they might need some time to recover their emotions.
Who would soothe their wounded hearts?
Short clip!
Duel information announced!
Millennium Eye VS the Ancient Gear King!
Both players' Life Points! 8000 LP!
Turn 1! Millennium Eye!
Millennium Eye: "Alright, this time we're going to Duel!"
Millennium Eye: "Everyone knows it! We're diehard Dark Magician players!"
Millennium Eye: "This time it's my turn!"
"I directly activate the Spell Card! [Millennium Ankh]!"
"I reveal Exodia the Forbidden One, Left Leg of the Forbidden One, Right Leg of the Forbidden One, Left Arm of the Forbidden One, and Right Arm of the Forbidden One from my Deck!"
"Then, I Special Summon! [The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate]!"
"I Set 2 cards."
"In the End Phase."
"I activate [The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate]'s effect!"
"I add [Obliterate!!!] from my Deck to my hand and Set it!"
"Your turn!"
The Millennium Eye Deck!
They had already watched a lot of short video content!
That previous Tag Duel!
The secret of collecting all 5 pieces of Exodia was still vivid in their minds!
And the Millennium Eye Deck's opening strategy.
Basically, it establishes the field on Turn 1 with [The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate], and Sets as many backrow cards as possible!
Alright! Next is the opponent!
An Ancient Gear Deck?
Thinking about that—
Duel Academy.
Professor Crowler immediately became interested!
"My God! This short clip is about an Ancient Gear Deck!"
"Nyahaha!"
"Great, great! Ever since last time I understood the new-era Ancient Gear Deck!"
"I still haven't seen what a true Ancient Gear explosive combo looks like!"
"This time!"
"I finally have the chance!"
Professor Crowler shouted excitedly.
At the same time!
It was already the other side's turn.
