Chapter 426: Surpass Yourself (4k)

"Interesting, interesting, Chui Xue."

Suddenly, Kaiser laughed loudly. He stood up slowly, his body gradually changing from shaking to standing upright: "You said you wouldn't let me? Interesting, Chui Xue, then I'll see how you don't let me—

My turn, draw!"

Kaiser didn't care about the audience's opinion at all and drew a card from his deck.

He looked down and laughed: "The opponent has a monster, I have no monsters on my field, Special Summon this card—Cyber Dragon!"

Sizzle—

The most standard Cyber Dragon slowly appeared on his field.

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

Cyber Dragon, huh?

Many people knew this card.

"It's not over yet!" Kaiser then played another card, "Activate when the opponent has a monster on the field. This card can be Special Summoned from the hand!"

Hmm?

Many people were stunned when they heard this.

What is this?

"Cyber Eltanin, Special Summon!"

In the surprised eyes of the crowd, a snake-shaped mechanical dragon circled the field and appeared on the field.

Cyber Eltanin, Level 5, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, DEF 2100.

"Cyber Eltanin?"

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, having never heard of this card.

"The effect of Cyber Eltanin. After Special Summoning, Special Summon a Cyber Dragon from the deck or use it as an Equip Spell Card. This turn, you cannot Special Summon unless it is a Machine-Type monster."

"Come, second Cyber Dragon!"

Buzz—

Not long after, Kaiser's field was filled with three Cyber Dragon monsters.

And more importantly, their level is... 5!

"Witness it, Chui Xue, the brand new power I learned from the people of the other dimension—"

Chui Xue watched the opponent's operation silently.

"Photon mode, activated." With Kaiser's words, the coat on his body began to glow slowly, the black coat was slowly replaced by white, and finally, it turned into a clean white uniform.

"Wow!"

"It's Xyz, finally coming—"

Many audience members shouted excitedly.

Unlike Synchro, after a few days of dueling, everyone had discovered that as long as you are in this dimension and get the approval of the spirits, it is possible to perform Synchro Summoning in this dimension.

But Xyz is different. Even if you have the approval of Xyz spirits, you basically cannot use Xyz Summoning. Only the legendary "no." seems to be able to do this kind of thing.

And Kaiser is the only one who can normally use Xyz monsters!

"Build an Xyz network with the two Cyber Dragons on the field!"

The two Cyber Dragons slowly turned into golden light spheres, then flew into a suddenly appearing vortex. In the black vortex, a metal dragon with black armor on its body slowly rose from it.

"Xyz Summon!"

"Rank 5, Cyber Dragon Nova!"

"Awooo!!!"

Cyber Dragon Nova, Rank 5, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 2100, Xyz Material 2.

"Is it here?" Chui Xue looked at the monster in front of him without tension.

And with the appearance of Cyber Dragon Nova, the audience also cheered.

After all, this is a rare Xyz Summon!

The Xyz Summon unique to Marufuji Ryo!

"The monster effect of Cyber Dragon Nova, once per turn, detach 1 Xyz material from this card, target 1 Cyber Dragon in your Graveyard to activate. Special Summon that monster!"

A golden light sphere flew from his side and merged into his body.

"I detach the material, then Special Summon Cyber Dragon Core from the Graveyard!"

"Then, the effect of Cyber Eltanin, once per turn, return 1 Cyber Dragon on your field to your hand to activate. Add a Fusion from your deck/Graveyard to your hand."

"I return Cyber Dragon Core to my hand, and then add Fusion to my hand."

Tiancheng Guang watched from the side, thinking about the information of this card.

Seems okay?

Special Summon Cyber Dragon and recycle search Fusion.

Strange, why doesn't he have any impression of this card, and it's not very strong. Could it be an original card in A5?

"This turn, I haven't performed a Normal Summon yet. I Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core in Defense Position, then activate Cyber Dragon Core's effect, add Cyber Emergency to my hand—and activate it immediately."

"Add 1 【Cyber Dragon】 or a Machine-Type/Light Attribute monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from the deck to your hand! I add Cyber Dragon to my hand!"

"Then, Spell Card, Fusion!" He showed a crazy excited smile on his face.

"Fuse Cyber Dragon in my hand and Cyber Dragon Core on the field, Fusion Summon, Cyber Twin Dragon!"

Two mechanical dragons mixed together, then slowly rotated, and finally turned into a two-headed mechanical dragon.

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

"Activate Spell Card Pot of Avarice, return two Cyber Dragons, Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Cannon, and Cyber End Dragon from the Graveyard to the deck, draw two cards."

He slowly washed the cards back into the deck, then drew cards silently. After drawing, he looked at the monsters in his hand and couldn't help but show a crazy smile.

"Cyber Dragon Nova's effect, once per turn during either player's turn, banish 1 face-up Cyber Dragon from your hand/field, ATK increases by 2100 until the end of the turn! Banish Cyber Dragon in my hand!"

Cyber Dragon Nova, ATK: 2100 → 4200.

"Wow, in this way, the ATK exceeds Yin Liuxing Dragon!"

"And, Cyber Twin Dragon can attack twice!"

After a series of searches, fusions, and recycling by Kaiser, everyone could see that Kaiser was preparing to kill in one turn!

"Battle! Cyber Dragon Nova attacks Yin Liuxing Black Comet Dragon!"

The giant mechanical dragon spread its wings, and the electric light on its body turned into terrifying electric light, spreading all over its body. The giant dragon cast from magma didn't give way at all, crashed into the mechanical dragon, and then burst into a sizzling sound.

A moment later, with a boom, the dragon of magma dissipated instantly.

Chui Xue, LP: 4000 → 3900.

"Beautiful, in this way, Kaiser can use Cyber Twin Dragon to attack directly twice!"

"Wow, does that mean Chui Xue is going to lose?"

In the preparation hall, everyone was guessing.

"No." Tiancheng Guang interrupted their thinking, "Cyber Twin Dragon can't attack directly anymore."

"Eh?"

"Why?"

"Could it be..." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu heard Tiancheng Guang's words and immediately began to think.

"Too naive, Ryo!" Chui Xue waved his hand, stopping Marufuji Ryo's action.

"What?"

"Activate the card's effect!" Chui Xue took the card from the Graveyard and showed it, "The effect of Claw of the Dark Dragon: when the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, and this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, activate. Special Summon that monster to the field and equip this card! When this card equipped by this effect leaves the field, banish it!"

"Hmm!"

"Then—Yin Liuxing Black Comet Dragon's effect, when this card is sent from the monster zone to the Graveyard, target 1 Normal monster in your Graveyard to activate. Special Summon that monster!"

"!!" Kaiser's eyes widened.

Boom!!

Two giant fire pillars burned on the field. The Lightsworn spirits hurriedly built defensive shields, but were still slowly forced back by the flames.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, DEF 2000.

Yin Liuxing Black Comet Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 3500 → 4100.

"Actually... resisted the attack without even using a trap?"

Kaiser's expression became more and more heavy.

Flames were rising all around, even making him feel the heat.

"Then, Cyber Twin Dragon attacks Red-Eyes Black Dragon."

Although it couldn't continue to attack directly, it couldn't let the monster remain on Chui Xue's field.

A round of offensive was instantly resolved, and it only caused a mere 100 points of damage, making Marufuji Ryo feel a pressure.

But at the same time, he felt his heart beating wildly.

How long has it been?

How long has it been since he dueled Chui Xue to this point!?

Everyone has experienced their own life, gained inspiration from different people, and then stood in the same position together.

He looked at the card.

He wanted victory, just like what Tiancheng Guang advised him at the beginning.

Some people don't need to be respected, just like Tiancheng Guang never respects the soldiers of the Fusion Army.

Chui Xue, why did you walk to this point?

Kaiser didn't have any means to counterattack, but he didn't feel urgent because of this, just set a card calmly, "Set a card, end turn."

"Is it over like this? This is a chance you finally got."

"?"

"Only this level, that won't do, Ryo!" Chui Xue's eyes suddenly lit up with scarlet light, which made Kaiser, who was dueling, stunned.

"My turn, draw—"

Boom—

With his draw, more terrifying black flames rose behind him.

Those scorching and dark flames even made some Lightsworn spirits terrified.

"Whoa... today's Senior Chui Xue looks so scary." Sanze Dadi couldn't help but mutter.

"Brother..." Asuka was worried about Chui Xue.

She didn't know why the brother who was usually very gentle, although he looked a bit weird, would be so frantic today.

"Cyber Dragon Nova has the ability to banish Cyber Dragon during the opponent's turn to increase ATK, right?"

The audience looked at each other, and only then did they realize it.

Cyber Dragon Nova's effect is "once per turn during either player's turn"!

That is to say, if Chui Xue attacked directly with a monster at this time, his ace would be destroyed in an instant!

I didn't expect Chui Xue to even think of this.

"However, even so, it needs Cyber Dragon in the hand." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu opened his mouth, "Although Cyber Dragon was recycled, Kaiser's hand actually doesn't support him doing that.

After all, Cyber Dragon Nova activates its effect and needs a clear 【Cyber Dragon】, and other Cyber Dragon models are not treated as Cyber Dragon when not on the field.

But... that possibility cannot be ruled out.

If Pot of Avarice happened to draw two Cyber Dragons, then attacking rashly would not be appropriate.

Sanze Dadi also nodded slightly: "That's right, although Xyz monsters are indeed very strong, no matter what, monster cards are monster cards. Since the effect has been known to everyone, Senior Chui Xue will naturally be prepared, right?

Just, what means will Senior Chui Xue prepare to break it?"

Chui Xue laughed, looked at his hand, and activated calmly: "Spell Card, Cards of the Red Stone. This card can only be activated once per turn. Send 1 Level 7 【Red-Eyes】 monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate. Draw two cards from your deck. After that, you can send 1 Level 7 【Red-Eyes】 monster from your deck to the Graveyard.

I send the third Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the deck to the Graveyard, draw two. Then, I send Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon from the deck to the Graveyard!"

"Then—Spell Card, Pot of Avarice!"

"What?"

It's actually the same card!

Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.

"Ryo, just like you are craving victory in your heart, my heart is also greedily coveting all the beauty of this world!"

He had an indescribable weird cold smile on his face, but the words he said were completely different from his expression: "I hope to have a perfect brother-sister relationship, I hope to have beautiful friendship, I hope to have cute juniors, I hope to have countless cute girls treat me as an idol, I hope spirits can live in harmony, I hope my life is perfect, I hope no one needs to suffer the pain I experienced again!"

Kaiser looked at him in confusion: "I am happy enough now! You don't need to say these things."

"No—it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough!"

"I return the three Red-Eyes Black Dragons, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon, and Yin Liuxing Dragon in the Graveyard to the deck, draw two cards!"

He glanced at the cards he drew and showed one of them: "Red-Eyes Insight, send 1 Red-Eyes monster from your hand/deck to the Graveyard to activate. Add 1 Red-Eyes Spell/Trap Card other than Red-Eyes Insight from your deck to your hand. I send Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the deck to the Graveyard and add Return of the Red-Eyes from the deck to my hand!"

"That's about it—"

Chui Xue looked at the cards in his hand and looked up at Marufuji Ryo: "Ryo, I have already heard from Guang that you will be electrocuted by the spirits of the Cyber flow when you duel because you use 【Cyber flow】!?"

"What!?" In the hall, all the acquaintances looked at Tiancheng Guang.

"Ryo?!" Asuka subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.

"Brother!!!" Sho was so scared that he jumped up and ran outside. The resilience he had trained in the past few months disappeared in an instant. It was only after Kenzan and Judai stopped him together that he was pulled back.

"...... Tsk, I asked him to keep it secret for me." Kaiser said in a low voice.

"How could he hide it from me!" Chui Xue waved his hand and said directly, "He is your best friend, don't you think I am too! And do you think I can't see this kind of thing!"

Indeed—

"Just this kind of thing?" Kaiser shook his head indifferently.

"Just this kind of thing?" Chui Xue shook his head, "I have already drunk the 【Electric Resistance Potion】. So, you can use the Cyber monsters as much as you want."

"?" Kaiser looked at him in confusion.

A moment later, he continued: "I only need victory, no matter what it is, I only respect victory!

I am already tired of distinguishing the good and evil of opponents one by one, and I am too lazy to respect those who are not worth respecting at all. So, I only need to respect victory!"

He didn't care, clenched his fists, and looked at the sky: "As long as there is a moment, as long as I can obtain the final victory, the most gorgeous victory, and the strongest victory at that moment, then, even if it is death, is it worth being excited about as a duelist's life?"

Surpassing life and death, not taking one's own life to heart, what a duelist needs to care about is only dueling. Kaiser thought so.

His dueling only needs to respect one point.

That is—respect dueling!

"Brother?" Sho, who was watching the live broadcast, was stunned.

"That's why I said, this is not enough—"

"Hmm?"

"Even the spirits haven't been controlled, even the spirits haven't been surpassed, and you still have to endure the attack of the Cyber spirits. Are you satisfied with this level?" Chui Xue's black energy became more and more prosperous. Gradually, the Lightsworn spirits that built the defense could no longer protect the protective shield—at this moment, countless birds flew over with chirping sounds and worked together to support the protective shield.

"Don't forget, in Guang's deck, there are even spirits with 【evil】 nature."

"You—" The expression on Kaiser's face finally changed completely.

He looked at this brother who lived with him day and night in surprise, and discovered for the first time.

Chui Xue—seems to have gone further on the road of dueling than himself!

"You want victory, right! Then, surpass the current you, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to win against me!" His body made a clicking sound, as if sparks were shooting out of his body.

"I Normal Summon—Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry!"

Simorgh!?

Not Red-Eyes!?

Kaiser's pupils contracted.

"Simorgh!!!??"

Countless people exclaimed.

No one has ever seen you use these cards!

Only Tiancheng Guang raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

After all...

This was the spirit card that Chui Xue got when he and Chui Xue visited 【Mountain】.
