"Ways to break your field? I've got plenty. But all of those are too much hassle, so I'll just use the simplest one."
Yusaku first raised a hand showing six fingers, then spread it into an open palm. "Six steps is too long. Five. I'll finish this duel in five steps!"
Fujiwara was so angry he laughed. "Then I really want to see how you're going to beat me in five steps!"
"First step!"
Yusaku drew out a card and flipped it up. "I tribute your [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss] and your [Bystial Dis Pater] to Special Summon to your field—the Level 8 powerhouse, [Lava Golem]!!!"
Fujiwara: "???"
Blazing flames burst up from the ground out of nowhere, instantly swallowing the two monsters on Fujiwara's field. Amid their shrill roars, the monsters were ground away inside a spiraling inferno as a pillar of fire thundered straight into the sky, proclaiming itself to the heavens.
A massive giant wreathed in hellish flame crashed down behind Fujiwara. The iron cage embedded in its chest locked onto him like a prison. Because this was a virtual projection, the giant seemed to phase straight through the arena wall, dyeing even the spectators' faces red in its glow.
[Lava Golem]
[Level 8 / Fiend / Effect]
[ATK: 3000]
Seeing this monster appear, the students behind Yusaku were stunned for half a breath—then suddenly burst into half-suppressed laughter.
"Yusaku-senpai is too evil, he actually runs that card!"
"Let's go, senpai! That's two big monsters gone in one shot!"
On Fujiwara's side, though, the Lion King Dojo students were so furious their faces flushed red and their necks bulged with veins.
"So dirty! Using a card like Lava Golem!"
"Dirty? And your Fujiwara-senpai setting [Dimensional Barrier] isn't dirty?" the Takeuchi Dojo students immediately shot back.
On the field.
Looking at the Lava Golem that had appeared on his own side, Fujiwara's expression was ice-cold. "[Lava Golem] is Special Summoned by tributing. It uses up your Normal Summon. After it hits the field, you can't Normal Summon anymore."
"I know that much." Yusaku nodded lightly. "Second step."
He drew another card and held it up. "I activate the Spell Card [One for One]!"
"This card's effect: I send 1 monster from my hand to the GY, and in return Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from my hand or Deck."
He showed the card in his hand even more clearly. "I send the [Mathmech Sigma] in my hand to the GY, and Special Summon the Level 1 [Yamatako Orochi] from my Deck!"
As his voice fell, a jellyfish-like monster floated onto the field. Each of its long tentacles ended in a tiny head, swaying and bobbing in the air.
[Yamatako Orochi]
[Level 1 / Sea Serpent / Effect / Tuner]
[ATK: 0]
"Third step!" Yusaku suddenly raised his voice.
"I activate the effect of [Mathmech Sigma] in my GY! As long as this card is in my hand or GY, and my Extra Monster Zone is empty, I can Special Summon it!"
"My Extra Monster Zone is currently empty, so—come on out, [Mathmech Sigma]!"
[Mathmech Sigma]
[Level 4 / Cyberse / Effect / Tuner]
[ATK: 1000]
The moment Mathmech Sigma hit the field, Fujiwara snapped out sharply, "You activated a monster effect. That triggers my [Black-Winged Assault Dragon]! Each time your opponent activates a monster effect, put 1 Black Feather Counter on this card, then inflict 700 damage to your opponent!"
Fujiwara jabbed a finger forward. "And I've got three copies of [Black-Winged Assault Dragon]! So you're taking 2100 damage!"
The instant he finished, the three black dragons on his field opened their jaws in unison. Three beams of blazing fire lanced straight through Yusaku's body. The force of the impact drove him back a half-step, and his LP display plummeted.
[Yusaku, LP 7200 → 5100]
Fujiwara watched him coldly. "At most, you can activate two more monster effects. I'd really like to see how you're going to break my board like that."
Yusaku rubbed at his numbed chest. "So that's how it is… 'One activation and I lose,' huh."
Then he swept his arm out. "Fourth step!"
"I tune the [Mathmech Sigma] and [Yamatako Orochi] on my field!"
Yusaku thrust his hand high.
"With star rails as our covenant and data as our battle hymn! Let the power of terminal judgment gather across dimensional fault lines! This is the moment when the ultimate verdict descends—appear! [Geomathmech Final Sigma]!!!"
At his declaration, Mathmech Sigma and Yamatako Orochi transformed into two soaring pillars of light, shooting straight into the heavens and weaving together into a massive star map above the duel arena.
Countless Cyberse runes fell like meteors into that star map, becoming rotating gears and blades of light. They meshed together into a summoning array that spanned heaven and earth.
From the center of the array, a figure clad in dark-silver armor slowly took shape. Streams of light etched across the armor flowed like a running galaxy. Six pairs of enormous wings of pure energy unfurled behind it, every beat stirring up a storm of force that swept the entire arena.
In its hands, it gripped a trans-dimensional greatsword, the blade gleaming with a deep blue light that seemed sharp enough to cleave apart the darkness itself. Just by appearing, it made the space of the entire duel field tremble.
[Geomathmech Final Sigma]
[Level 12 / Cyberse / Effect]
[ATK: 3000]
Fujiwara: "?"
Lion King Dojo students: "???"
Staring at the sudden Level 12 monster on the field, the spectators were completely dumbfounded.
"Level 4 plus Level 1, and both are Tuners—how the hell do you Synchro Summon a Level 12 like that?!"
"4 + 1 = 12? Are you serious?"
Facing the flood of disbelief, Yusaku flipped up the card of [Yamatako Orochi] in his GY. "[Yamatako Orochi]'s effect: when this card is used as Synchro Material, you can treat it as a Level 8 non-Tuner."
At that explanation, everyone finally understood—and then the place exploded into an uproar.
People couldn't help blurting out:
"Damn! What a broken card, this is totally something you'd want on your side!"
On the field.
After he finished explaining, Yusaku drew out another card from his hand. "Fifth step!"
"I equip the Equip Spell [Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta] to the [Geomathmech Final Sigma] in my Extra Monster Zone!"
The moment the equip resolved, Yusaku immediately moved into his Battle Phase. "Battle!"
He pointed straight at Fujiwara's monsters. "Final Sigma—attack! [Geomathmech Final Sigma]!"
As the command rang out, Geomathmech Final Sigma's energy wings flared to their fullest. Pale blue light flooded the arena, turning the field into a sea of stars.
The monster's body became a silver-blue bolt of lightning that tore through heaven and earth, charging forward with enough force to rip open space itself. The trans-dimensional blade in its hands raised high, gathering a world-shaking power of judgment. Wherever the blade light passed, even the air itself burned and warped.
Watching the oncoming attack, Fujiwara merely cast it a glance before looking back at Yusaku. "This is your big 'five-step finisher'? [Geomathmech Final Sigma] has 3000 ATK. At best it'll trade with my [Blackwing Full Armor Master]. That won't end the duel."
"Don't rush. The final step's effect is only activating now."
There was a hint of playful mockery in Yusaku's tone.
"[Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta]'s effect: during damage calculation when the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, I can send 1 [Mathmech] monster from my Deck to the GY. Until the end of this turn, the equipped monster gains ATK equal to that monster's ATK!"
"I send [Mathmech Multiplication], with 500 ATK, from my Deck to the GY, and give [Geomathmech Final Sigma] another 500 points!"
[Geomathmech Final Sigma]
[ATK: 3000 → 3500]
"And at this very moment—"
Yusaku's voice cut through the roar of wind.
"The effect of [Mathmech Multiplication] in my GY activates! When this card is sent to the GY, I target 1 Cyberse monster in my Extra Monster Zone, and until the end of the turn its ATK becomes double!"
"So, [Geomathmech Final Sigma]'s ATK becomes 7000!"
[Geomathmech Final Sigma]
[ATK: 3500 → 7000]
As Final Sigma's ATK spiked, the three [Black-Winged Assault Dragon] on Fujiwara's field triggered again. Three blazing spheres of flame crashed into Yusaku's body, and his LP tumbled down once more.
[Yusaku, LP 5100 → 3000]
Staring at the now 7000-ATK Final Sigma, Fujiwara frowned slightly. "So what if it's at 7000? My [Full Armor Master] is in Defense Position. Even if it were in Attack Position, you'd only be hitting me for 4000 LP at most."
At that, Yusaku's smile grew even more meaningful. "Then why do you think I insisted on attacking?"
Fujiwara: "?"
Yusaku lifted [Yamatako Orochi] in his GY again. "[Yamatako Orochi]'s second effect: the Synchro Monster that uses this card as material gains an additional effect depending on its original Level."
"For Level 8 or below, it gains 800 ATK/DEF. For Level 9 or above, when it attacks a Defense Position monster, it inflicts battle damage equal to the difference between its ATK and that monster's DEF—piercing damage."
Fujiwara's brows drew together. "That's still only 4000 battle damage at best."
"Are you sure it's only 4000?" Yusaku arched a brow and smiled. "[Geomathmech Final Sigma]'s own effect—while this card is in the Extra Monster Zone and battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage it inflicts to your opponent is doubled."
"So, 4000 times 2 is how much?"
Hearing that, the Lion King Dojo students behind Fujiwara instantly went deathly pale—8000 battle damage. If that hit connected, the duel would end right there.
Someone already screamed in despair, "Yame roo!!!"
On the field.
Fujiwara's pupils shrank sharply, but a moment later he forcibly steadied himself and snapped his arm up. "So what if it's 8000 damage? If you actually hit me I'd lose, sure. Unfortunately, you're still one move short!"
"Flip set card—Trap Card, activate! [Black Sonic]!"
"This card's effect: when an opponent's monster declares an attack on a 'Blackwing' monster I control, I can activate it—banish all face-up Attack Position monsters your opponent controls!"
"The condition is met right now!"
"I activate the effect and banish your [Geomathmech Final Sigma]!"
At those words, the students behind Fujiwara all let out a huge breath of relief. They'd thought the duel was about to be turned around.
However, the wave of light from the Trap card had barely reached Final Sigma before it vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.
Seeing that, Fujiwara's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Impossible!"
"[Geomathmech Final Sigma]'s effect," Yusaku said with an easy smile, arms folded, "as long as this card is in the Extra Monster Zone, it is unaffected by card effects, except those of [Mathmech] cards."
"I'm sure no one understands how valuable that kind of protection is better than you do."
Hearing that, Fujiwara finally broke composure and shouted hoarsely, "No! This can't be! I refuse to accept this!"
But no matter how unwilling he was, the attack command had already been issued. The flow of the battle could no longer be reversed.
"Boom——!!!"
With a deafening roar, Final Sigma's blade of judgment crashed down on [Blackwing Full Armor Master]. The armor shattered into countless fragments, scattering like black snow before being swallowed entirely by the energy storm.
The residual might of that terminal sword light did not fade. Like the Milky Way pouring straight down, it swept toward Fujiwara in an unstoppable torrent. Wherever it passed, the virtual ground cracked apart inch by inch, shockwaves rippling outwards and warping the light and shadow of the entire duel arena.
Fujiwara instinctively raised his arms to shield himself, but the violent impact still hurled him away. His body traced a long arc through the air, then hit the ground and rolled over and over, finally coming to rest sprawled flat in the dust.
[Fujiwara, LP 7000 → 0]
