Chapter 509

"I'll go first!" Zhen Si roared, "Draw."

The two rushed out of the track and onto a huge flame road suspended in the air, still not giving the other side an inch.

"That, those two, went, went up to the sky?" Captain Niuwei looked at this scene in shock.

Tiancheng Guang and Yusei were on their way while opening the D-Wheel's broadcast function, starting to watch this duel.

Honestly, the development of things now exceeded Tiancheng Guang's expectations. He never expected that Crow would also become a Dark Signer, and looking at this posture, he was also a Dark Signer of the "Ultimate Earthbound God."

He had to quickly figure out what exactly had happened and what the cause and effect were.

And at this time, the duel had officially begun.

"I activate the effect of Bee Force - Sting the Rapier in my hand, discarding another Insect-Type monster in my hand to activate it. I place one 【Bee Force Wind】 face-up on my field from my Deck. After that, I Special Summon this card from my hand!"

"This turn, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck unless they are Insect-Type monsters!"

"Come on, Rapier!"

A pitch-black bee carrying a Continuous Spell card appeared on the field sharply.

"The effect of the Continuous Spell card Bee Force Wind! Up to twice per turn, when a 【Bee Force】 monster is Summoned/Special Summoned on my field, I target that monster and activate it. I add a Bee Force monster with lower attack than that monster from my Deck to my hand!"

"Rapier's attack is 1900, so I add the 1800 attack Bee Force - Rapid-Fire Ballista to my hand!"

"It's not over yet! I summon the Ballista I added to my hand, then activate its effect to revive the Tuner monster I just discarded from my hand, Bee Force - Pin the Bullseye!"

"At this moment, the effect of Bee Force Wind activates, and I add Bee Force - Sting the Poison from my Deck to my hand!"

A series of operations, from one card to a full field of monsters, countless bee soldiers made buzzing sounds, staring fixedly at their opponent.

They were like a suicide squad, swearing to win for their leader.

"Actually Special Summoned so many monsters in an instant?!" The security police were all shocked.

"So strong, was this guy originally this strong!?" Captain Niuwei also said in surprise.

"The effect of Pin the Bullseye, activate during my Main Phase, to inflict damage to the opponent equal to the number of 【Bee Force - Pin the Bullseye】 on my field x 200!"

Pin was a small bee. He aimed at Crow and suddenly threw his tail needle, just like that, stinging him.

Crow glanced at it and completely ignored it.

Crow, LP: 4000 -> 3800.

"Activate the second effect of Bee Force Wind, once per turn, I choose 1 Insect-Type monster on my field, and that monster can be used as a Tuner this turn. I choose Pin the Bullseye."

"I tune the Level 1 Pin the Bullseye and the Level 5 Rapier!"

"With membranous wings, stir up an explosive gale; with a sting, open the path of truth!"

"Synchro Summon!"

"Level 6, Bee Force - Kōya the Spirit Bow!"

Kōya the Spirit Bow was wearing a short skirt, bending its bow and setting an arrow, appearing dashingly.

Bee Force - Kōya the Spirit Bow, Level 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-Type, Attack 2400.

"When Kōya the Spirit Bow is Synchro Summoned, I activate its effect. This card is treated as a Tuner!"

"Then, I immediately activate its second effect, once per turn, to return 1 Continuous Spell card on my field to my hand to activate it. This turn, in addition to my Normal Summon, I can Special Summon 1 【Bee Force】 monster during my Main Phase!"

"I return Bee Force Wind to my hand—then, I activate it again!"

Zhen Si was clearly playing for real, even using the finishing move he had prepared for duelists in the upper tier who looked down on him, "Activate the Continuous Spell card, Bee Force Wind!"

"What?" Captain Niuwei was shocked.

"Such a strong card—" Serena, in the passenger seat of the police car, watched the broadcast screen and couldn't help but look serious, "Now he can search for two more Bee Forces—"

"Normal Summon, Tuner monster, Bee Force - Sting the Poison! Activate its effect to add Rapid-Fire Ballista from my Deck to my hand, then, the effect of Bee Force Wind, because it is reactivated, its effect can be activated again. I add Pin the Bullseye, which has less than 400 attack, to my hand!"

"Finally—I tune the Level 2 Sting the Poison on the field and the Level 4 Ballista!"

"Synchro Summon—"

"Level 6, Bee Force - Assault the Hook-Scythe!"

The pitch-black, sturdy bee warrior waved its huge hook-scythe, bang, and it hit the flame corridor, appearing on the field.

Bee Force - Assault the Hook-Scythe, Level 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-Type, Attack 2500.

"The effect of Bee Force Wind, I add the 1900 attack Rapier to my hand!"

"What—" Almost all the police officers were dumbfounded.

Isn't this the monster from the very beginning?

With this back and forth, wouldn't he be able to play a set like this again next turn?

What's even more terrifying is that next turn, Zhen Si is very likely to achieve the scene of two Bee Force Winds on the field under the effect of Rapier!

"I set one card and end my turn!"

Zhen Si coldly set the card and squinted at Crow: "Crow, let me see how you are going to duel!"

"I will let you see, Zhen Si——"

"Draw!"

Serena watched the screen worriedly.

Although she didn't understand Synchro very well, she could see that the guy named Zhen Si's cards were simple, direct, and high-quality, one after another, with sustainability and offense. Thinking back to Crow's previous duel...

Crow glanced at the card in his hand and held one up: "If there are no monsters on my field, the effect of Blackwing - Simoon the Poison Wind, I banish a Blackwing monster other than this card from my hand to activate it."

"I select one 【Black Whirlwind】 from my Deck and set it in my Spell/Trap Zone. This card in my hand does not need to be Tribute Summoned or sent to the Graveyard. This turn, until the end of the turn, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck unless they are Dark Attribute monsters!"

"Huh?"

"Eh!?"

"What—" All the police officers and those onlookers who were joining in the fun let out identical exclamations.

The reason was simple—

Isn't this basically 【the same】!?

If the effect of Black Whirlwind is also the same, then this duel...

"Normal Summon, Level 6 Poison Wind. Activate the effect of Black Whirlwind! Activate when a Blackwing monster is Summoned on my field. I add 1 Blackwing monster with lower attack than that monster from my Deck to my hand!"

"Is it actually the exact same strategy?"

"Completely identical strategy... these two?"

Serena also looked at this scene in surprise.

You know, in this world, a duel is not only a contest but also a collision of souls, a kind of spiritual ritual. The stronger a person's belief, the stronger their power and their duel.

Just like her master in her impression, because of her trust and persistence in Fusion, even if the deck looked like that, she could use it like an arm in a duel, which seemed almost impossible to outsiders—Serena had once tested that deck in the Fusion Department, and it was impossible to play with that deck at all. Even with her luck, she often lost the duel directly due to hand accidents.

Using the same strategy, using the same summoning method, and even the names of the monsters were similar. There was only one possibility, and that was that both of their duels started from the same starting point.

But...

Why did it end up like this?

Two people, with the same posture and different philosophies, made completely different choices and then embarked on opposite paths.

Along with the appearance of Black Whirlwind, a manic black storm seemed to rotate on the two people's D-Wheels.

"According to the effect of Black Whirlwind, I add Blackwing - Sudri the Phantom Glint with less than 1600 attack to my hand, and then summon it!"

"At this moment, the effect of Sudri and the effect of Black Whirlwind activate. The effect of Black Whirlwind, I add a Blackwing monster with less than 1400 attack from my Deck to my hand. The effect of Sudri, I add a Blackwing monster other than Sudri that mentions 【Black-Winged Dragon】 in its card name from my Deck to my hand."

"I add Blackwing - Shamal the Sandstorm, which mentions Black-Winged Dragon, and Blackwing - Vata the Rogue, with less than 1400 attack, to my hand."

"Activate the effect of Shamal, sending this card from my hand/field to the Graveyard to activate it. I place 1 【Black-Winged Whirlwind】 face-up on my field from my Deck!"

"Black-Winged Whirlwind?" Zhen Si, who was wrestling with Crow, heard this name and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of card is that?"

He and Crow were very familiar with each other's decks and often exchanged and shared strategies—because their duels were essentially a way of thinking, both through violently Special Summoning monsters and searching for monsters to perform repetitive Synchro Summoning.

But he didn't recognize the card Crow was using this time at all.

Crow glanced at him without responding.

This card was the power he had gained after being resurrected as a "Dark Signer."

"If there is a Blackwing monster other than Vata the Rogue on my field, it can be Special Summoned—then, activate its effect during my Main Phase, sending this card with a total Level of 8 and 1 or more 【Blackwing】 monsters from my Deck other than Tuners to the Graveyard, to Special Summon 1 【Black-Winged Dragon】 from my Extra Deck!"

Hum—

Yusei had already stopped on the lane. He looked at the two people dueling and speeding in the air, his eyebrows almost twisted into a knot.

"Deck... Synchro?"

"It's my first time hearing about Deck Synchro." Captain Niuwei also looked at this scene in shock.

Even the noble lords of the upper tier didn't have cards of this level, right?

Zzzzz—

On the other side, Tiancheng Guang braked, pulled the car to the side of the road, jumped off the car, and walked a few steps to Serena's side.

"Ahhhhh—Master!" Serena was originally watching the duel intently when she suddenly saw a figure come to her side, grabbing her by the back of her collar like a little pig. She struggled twice, and seeing it was Tiancheng Guang, her head immediately shrank.

Seeing this, Captain Niuwei knew they knew each other, so he didn't stop him.

"Serena!!" Tiancheng Guang shouted while holding her, "Do you know how worried I was about you!?"

"I, I'm sorry... Master." Serena almost curled into a ball, feeling very embarrassed.

"... You tell me everything that happened before, quickly!" Tiancheng Guang took two deep breaths, looked at the suspended duel next to him, took a deep breath, and hurriedly prioritized things, saying, "I'll deal with you later, you just wait!"

"Yes!" She instinctively gave a Fusion Army military salute!

"Don't show me that! Speak properly!"

"Yes!!" Serena tensed up all over.

And on the other side, Crow had already finished his operation.

He sent the two monsters in his Deck and the Rogue on the field to the Graveyard, Special Summoning a huge black dragon with a strange appearance that belonged to him.

Black-Winged Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack 2800.

"Activate the effect of Black-Winged Whirlwind. Once per turn, when I Special Summon a Dark Attribute Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck, I target 1 monster in my Graveyard or banished that has lower attack than that monster to activate it. I Special Summon that monster!"

"I Special Summon, the Level 4 Tuner monster Shamal the Sandstorm!"

"This guy also filled the field in an instant..."

"These two people are truly terrifying."

"They used the characteristics of Synchro to the fullest!"

Tiancheng Guang looked at this scene and couldn't help but frown.

Blackwing is worthy of being a former champion deck, and its Special Summoning ability is truly exaggerated.

"I tune the Level 4 Shamal and the Level 6 Simoon!"

"Black whirlwind, drive the wings of the sky!"

"Come on stage fully armed!"

"Synchro Summon!"

"Level 10, Blackwing - Full Armor Master!"

Click, the bullet was loaded. A black birdman warrior silently loaded his pistol with bullets, then shouldered a huge long sword, just like that, looking at his opponent expressionlessly.

Blackwing - Full Armor Master, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, Attack 3000.

"Attack 3000! Same as Red Dragon Archfiend!"

"But... the momentum is completely different!"

"Activate the effect of Shamal in the Graveyard. While this card is in the Graveyard, if a Blackwing Synchro Monster or 【Black-Winged Dragon】 is Special Summoned on my field, I banish this card and target 1 【Blackwing】 monster in my Graveyard to activate it. I add that monster to my hand!"

"I add Poison Wind to my hand."

"This guy also recovered the card that can place Black Whirlwind?"

"It's really exactly the same—"

"Using this effect, I will take 700 points of damage—however, the effect of Black-Winged Dragon, if I take effect damage, I place a Black Feather Counter on it to replace the effect damage I would have taken."

"Every time Black-Winged Dragon has a Black Feather Counter, its attack decreases by 700."

Black-Winged Dragon, ATK: 2800 -> 2100.

"Activate the effect of Zephyros the Elite in the Graveyard, returning 1 face-up card on my field to my hand. I Special Summon this card and take 400 points of damage. I return Black Whirlwind to my hand."

Black-Winged Dragon, ATK: 2100 -> 1400.

"Activate the effect of Black-Winged Dragon, removing all counters, targeting 1 monster on the opponent's field, that opponent's monster's attack decreases by the number of removed counters x 700, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the decreased value!"

He pointed at Kōya: "I choose Kōya, decrease its attack by 1400, and inflict 1400 points of damage to you!"

Black-Winged Dragon's feather-like wings lit up with red light, then brushed and landed on the female bee, causing her to crazily reduce her attack and inflicting damage to Zhen Si.

"These two people, not only is the Synchro process the same, but they are even inflicting effect damage on each other, crazily torturing each other..."

"Why exactly, clearly their duels are the same."

Zhen Si, LP: 4000 -> 2600.

Kōya, ATK: 2400 -> 1000.

"Reduced attack and life points!" Captain Niuwei calculated slightly and found that Zhen Si's life points were insufficient, so he said, "If all attacks go through, then, obviously Zhen Si lost—"

"Battle, Full Armor Master attacks!"

Zhen Si gritted his teeth and roared: "Don't even think about it!!!"

"Open the set card!"

"Urgent Synchro!"

"Activate during the Battle Phase of either player! Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster!"

"I tune the Level 6 Tuner monster Kōya and the Level 6 Assault on the field!"

"Membranous wings and sting, open the path of truth!"

"Become the ultimate decisive weapon and stir up a rebellion for us!"

"Synchro Summon! Level 12, Bee Force - Decisive Battle Big Ballista!"

A huge bee made entirely of machinery appeared in the sky. It bent its neck, and the tail needle behind it set up a huge crossbow, aiming at Crow with that sharp crossbow.

Bee Force - Decisive Battle Big Ballista, Level 12, Wind Attribute, Insect-Type, Attack 3000.

"When Big Ballista is Special Summoned, I banish all Insect-Type monsters in the Graveyard to activate it. All monsters on the opponent's field have their attack/defense decreased by the number of my banished Insect-Type monsters x 500!"

"I banished 6, so all monsters on your field have their attack and defense decreased by 3000!"

Black-Winged Dragon, ATK: 2800 -> 0.

Sudri the Phantom Glint, DEF: 1400 -> 0.

Zephyros the Elite, ATK: 1600 -> 0.

"... Full Armor Master is unaffected by other card effects!"

"Tsk—" Zhen Si gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "However, the attack is the same!"

Crow wouldn't be stupid enough to attack either, and continued: "Then, the effect of Full Armor Master, as long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, every time the opponent's monster activates an effect, I place a Wedge Counter on that opponent's face-up monster!"

Full Armor Master raised his left-hand pistol and shot an arrow at the Big Ballista, leaving a mark on its barrel.

"When that Big Ballista is destroyed, you can Special Summon 3 banished Insect monsters of Level 11 or lower. Combined with your Bee Force Wind, you can search for cards again, and then Synchro Summon next turn, right!"

"You certainly know—" Zhen Si didn't refute.

This strategy was also a strategy they had discussed seriously.

They had prepared this strategy together to resist the upper tier, just to be able to lead the people in the lower city to live a better life.

However—

A gap had appeared unknowingly.

"Then, I activate the third effect of Full Armor Master, once per turn, targeting 1 monster on the opponent's field with a Wedge Counter. I gain control of that monster!"

The huge crossbow bee was dragged by the power of the Earthbound God and flew to Crow's field: "Then, as long as I don't let it be destroyed—the effect of Sudri the Phantom Glint, I release 1 monster on my field to Special Summon 1 【Phantom Glint Token】 on my field, then I take 700 points of damage!"

Phantom Glint Token, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, Defense 700.

Black-Winged Dragon, Black Feather Counter: 0 -> 1.

The huge crossbow slowly disintegrated and finally turned into a small silver crow.

In this way, Zhen Si's field was empty!

"Crow!!!"

"Zhen Si!!!"

"Why can't you understand me? To defeat the upper tier, you have to use unscrupulous means and wipe out all possible enemies!!"

"Put down that idea and protect everyone so that no one gets hurt. That is the right way!!"

The two roared again and crashed toward each other.

Unknowingly, the two had already walked to the extremes of two different directions!
