Chapter 234

Only when the official duel began did Maruto Ryō realize what he had just done.

Facing a robber and dueling them on the spot was one thing, but his opponent was an X-Dimensioner who had come to this dimension for some unknown reason and committed robbery!

What exactly was wrong with the person opposite him, and by what right did they dare to commit robbery under the banner of Kaiba Corp? These were all things worth considering!

But—

As long as it was a duel, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

He muttered to himself internally.

"My turn!! Draw!" The robber, whose style of dress was extremely wild, drew a card, placed it on his left hand, and then took another card from his left hand. "I summon in Defense Position, Silent Psychic Witch!"

Silent Psychic Witch, Level 3, Earth Attribute, Psychic-Type, Defense 1200.

"End turn!"

Eh—

That's it?

Maruto Ryō looked at the scene, stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? It's your turn!"

"... Alright, then..."

In the end, they were just a robber, not a professional duelist.

Maruto Ryō quickly drew a card.

"The opponent has a monster on their field, and I have no monsters on my field; this card can be Special Summoned!"

"Come forth, Cyber Dragon!"

Hum—

The image of Cyber Dragon emerged from behind him to his front.

Cyber Dragon, Level 5, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, Attack 2100.

"Cyber Dragon?" At this very moment, the human and the machine master-servant who had arrived earlier had walked into the shop at some point, quietly watching this duel.

On the human side, the moment they saw Cyber Dragon, there seemed to be a slight impression in their memory, but they couldn't recall it.

"Master Kuai Dou!" On the other side, beside him, the strange-looking little robot bowed to him, then aimed its eyes at the wall, emitting light and projecting images segment by segment. "Master Kuai Dou! This person is that so-called 【Kaiser】 from last year's Dimensional Newcomer Exchange Meeting, an other-dimensional person named Maruto Ryō!"

The master and servant who had entered the room began a slight exchange.

"So it's him." Kuai Dou nodded.

He had watched Kaiser's duels and knew his level.

But, precisely because he knew his level, the fact that this person appeared in Domino City without an exchange meeting was quite concerning.

Was it a vacation, or was it...

"Battle! Cyber Dragon attacks Silent Psychic Witch!"

"Evolution Burst!"

"Foolish." Kuai Dou, who was watching the duel, let out a cold snort the moment Maruto Ryō declared the attack.

"Eh? What is it, Master Kuai Dou?"

Kuai Dou had no interest in explaining to the robot.

He just saw that Maruto Ryō was not "pressing the attack"—because it was simple, his Cyber Dragon was Special Summoned, and beyond that, he hadn't performed a Normal Summon at all!

From his perspective, facing any No. holder, one should go all out with full force; it was absolutely impossible to hold back!

Boom—

The witch was hit head-on by the power of the light, and then turned into fragments amidst screams.

"At this moment, the monster effect activates! When Silent Psychic Witch is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can banish 1 Psychic-Type monster with 2000 or less ATK from my Deck. During the next Preparation Phase, the monster banished by this effect is Special Summoned!"

The robber waved his iron rod while saying, "I banish the 0 ATK Silent Psychic Priest from my Deck!"

"I see..." Maruto Ryō nodded.

"Then, I set one card and end my turn."

"My turn, draw!" The robber, who had a post-apocalyptic style, drew a card, looked at the card in his hand, and laughed with a cackle, "At this moment, because of the effect of my Silent Psychic Witch, the Psychic Priest banished comes to my field!"

Zzz—

As if opening a dimensional gate, an aged figure fell onto his field from a hole.

Silent Psychic Priest, Level 3, Earth Attribute, Psychic-Type, Attack 0.

"Next, Spell Card, Monster Reborn!"

"I revive the Psychic Witch from my Graveyard!"

The Psychic Witch destroyed by battle in the previous turn was thus revived.

What is the point of this...

Ah!

Suddenly, Maruto Ryō came to his senses.

He almost forgot, this wasn't his world; this was Domino City!

Two Level 3 monsters?

"Hee hee hee hee—" The robber laughed wildly like a madman, and the strange symbol on his forehead became even more vivid.

"I construct the Overlay Network with the Level 3 Silent Psychic Witch and the Level 3 Silent Psychic Priest!"

Pop—

Pop!

The two figures turned into purple streams of light and crashed into the ground before them; immediately after, a pitch-black vortex appeared in the card shop.

"Hahahaha—"

"Dimensional explorer, the dimensional octopus traveling through the darkness, now, appear!"

"Xyz Summon!"

"Rank 3, No. 26 Dimensional Kong Dong Bypass Octopus!"

Following his shout, a huge cube appeared on the field, and immediately after, with this cube as the center, a large number of phantom images extended out, turning into an octopus with strange symbols written on its head. Subsequently, the entity of these phantom images was slowly filled by tiny cubes one by one, finally turning into a solid form.

No. 26 Dimensional Kong Dong Bypass Octopus, Rank 3, Light Attribute, Psychic-Type, Defense 2400, Xyz Materials: 2.

"Hee hee hee hee, hahahaha—"

The robber scratched his forehead frantically, as if there really was a hole in his forehead absorbing something.

And at the same time, strange colors of all kinds emerged from the huge octopus.

"It has appeared, Master Kuai Dou!" The robot saw this monster appear and hurriedly changed modes, using scan mode to scan frantically. "So that's it, this No. is a No. that travels through dimensions!"

Kuai Dou nodded.

So that's it; because they knew there were other-dimensional people, they used this type of No. that could travel through dimensions to frequently cross dimensions and rob cards to exchange for profit.

Or conversely, was it because they wanted more ways to make money that they attracted this type of No. card?

"Hee hee hee, end turn."

Ended again?

Maruto Ryō drew a card, puzzled.

No...

Regardless, since the opponent had already summoned their trump card, he had to make changes.

"My turn, draw—I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization, to fuse the Cyber Dragon on the field with the Cyber Dragon in my hand!"

"Fusion Summon, Cyber Twin Dragon!"

Cyber Twin Dragon, Level 8, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, Attack 2800.

"Battle—"

"Master Kuai Dou, shouldn't we tell that person that No. monsters can only be destroyed by No. monsters?"

"For a duelist, experiencing it themselves is the best teacher. Since that guy is a celebrity from another dimension, let him experience it himself." Kuai Dou said casually.

Only—

What he didn't expect was that the opponent activated an effect at this time!

"Hee hee hee, I activate the effect of Bypass Octopus. When the Battle Phase of either player begins, I can detach one Xyz Material. During this battle, only 1 monster can attack, and that monster becomes a direct attack!"

"Linear Shuttle!"

Following the robber's shout, the golden light ball circling the octopus was instantly absorbed by the octopus. Immediately after, the octopus opened a single-threaded dimensional channel, causing a huge hole to appear in front of Cyber Twin Dragon, and on the other side of the hole was the robber himself.

"What?" The robot was so scared it jumped up directly.

Kuai Dou on the side also raised an eyebrow, then guessed something.

"?"

He didn't understand.

Maruto Ryō was extremely confused.

"Cyber Twin Dragon can attack twice per turn!"

If he didn't understand, then so be it—

The battle had to continue!

"Cyber Twin Dragon attacks directly!"

Boom—

The light flame passed through the dimensional hole, reached the other side directly, and then shot onto the robber.

"Waaaaah—"

Robber LP: 4000→1200.

"Good, then, Cyber Twin Dragon second... Cyber Twin Dragon?"

Just as Maruto Ryō wanted to drive Twin Dragon to continue attacking, he found that the state of Cyber Twin Dragon was wrong, very wrong!

"Hee hee hee.

This activates at the end of the Damage Step when a monster attacks directly and inflicts battle damage to the opponent. Control of that attacking monster is transferred to the opponent from the perspective of the turn player!"

"What!!"

Maruto Ryō exclaimed. He really wanted to stop his opponent, but a hole appeared under Cyber Twin Dragon, and in the next instant, it had already appeared on the opponent's field!
