Chapter 1037

Replicating Planet drew a card in one smooth motion, then continued the operation.

"The Speed Synchro Tuner in hand can be Special Summoned by discarding one monster card from hand.

Special Summon a second 'Speed Synchro Tuner'."

【Speed Synchro Tuner, ATK 700】

"Level 5, Tuner Monster 'Speed Synchro Tuner'!

Using 'Adjusting Supporter' as Level 1 and 'Adjusting Supporter' as Level 2, tune stars!"

【5+1+2=8】

"Gathered hope points toward a new horizon, becoming a path of radiant light! Synchro Summon, break through—

——Royal Road Warrior!"

The golden-armored giant fist tore through the halo, and when the finger joints moved, energy fragments like sparks scattered. At the moment the Royal Road Warrior descended, visible gravitational ripples formed, and with each step it took, it triggered the unique hydraulic sound of mechanical transmission devices; behind it flowed a stream of particles like molten gold, shattering the Synchro's residual starlight path into a sky-wide rain of light.

【Royal Road Warrior, ATK 3000】

Planet gritted his teeth: "Again, it's the Royal Road Warrior."

Just how many Synchro Summons does this guy plan to perform in one turn?

"Of course, because I just used two 'Adjusting Supporters' again as Synchro material, so I draw two cards from the deck."

Replicating Planet slowly drew two cards.

Planet glanced at the opponent's field, seeing the remaining Junk Synchro Tuner and one lone Adjusting Supporter remaining, and knew it probably wasn't over yet.

Replicating Planet: "The effect of Royal Road Warrior activates.

Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Warrior- or Machine-Type monster of Level 2 or lower from your deck."

A golden light shot from Replicating Planet's deck, transforming into a round, rolling mechanical sphere, with a red core at its center resembling an eye.

"Special Summon 1-Star Machine-Type Tuner, 'Unknown Synchro Tuner'!"

【Unknown Synchro Tuner, ATK 0】

"Level 1, Tuner Monster 'Unknown Synchro Tuner'!

Level 1, 'Adjusting Supporter'!

Tune stars!"

【1+1=2】

"Gathered wishes let companions' souls overlap, lend me the power of companions! Synchro Summon—

——Tech Attribute · Exchange Dragonfly!"

This time appeared a Synchro Monster Planet had never seen before. He stared in surprise at the green metallic dragonfly flying out with its wings, and exclaimed in astonishment: "Tech Attribute? That's not.

He thought of the entity that had pointed him toward accelerated Synchro, granting him evolutionary possibility, the mysterious person.

At this time, Planet still did not recognize Antinomi, but he knew the Tech Attribute was the deck used by that person.

"Are you and that person companions?!" Planet asked.

"You mean Antinomi?" Replicating Planet said calmly, "Yeah, the most important companion. For me, that's true; for you, it's also true, only you haven't realized it yet."

"What?" Planet frowned.

In fact, at this moment Antinomi had already, under Zone's direction, infiltrated the 5Ds team disguised as "Bruno," becoming Planet's important companion. Planet just didn't yet know Bruno's true identity.

Replicating Planet seemed to have no intention of exposing it, and did not continue speaking, only saying: "My deck, based on your foundation, has already completed its final evolution. Not only does it possess the ultimate power of Yuusei Fudo's personal evolution, but it also inherits the souls of companions who once fought together for the future. That's why I say your current self cannot possibly defeat me."

As he spoke, he continued the operation, waving his arm.

"The effect of Tech Attribute · Exchange Dragonfly activates. Once per turn, you can undo the Synchro Summon of one Synchro Monster on your field, and then Special Summon one set of Synchro materials previously used from the Graveyard back onto the field." (Original effect)

After being made into a real card, Exchange Dragonfly can only undo the Synchro Summon of Synchro Monsters with "Tech Attribute" in their name, but in the anime version there is no such restriction.

"Using Exchange Dragonfly's effect, undo the Synchro Summon of 'Royal Road Warrior'!"

Royal Road Warrior's body became translucent and was undone, turning into eight stars. The starlight rearranged, returning to Speed Synchro Tuner and two Adjusting Supporters.

【Speed Synchro Tuner, ATK 700】

【Adjusting Supporter, ATK 100】x2

"Another Synchro undo." Planet gritted his teeth slightly.

Non-stop Synchro and non-stop undoing, this way the draw effect of the three Adjusting Supporters is maximized.

Clearly all these are my own cards, all things I'm familiar with, yet I never thought there was such a way to play them. Seeing this, Planet felt a secret astonishment in his heart; regardless of our positions, he had to admit he now felt a certain admiration for this duplicate before him.

Such skilled operation, such masterful control of cards, are things my current self cannot achieve.

And at this moment, You Xuan, watching the battle through the live stream, also felt a stir in his heart.

This development, this routine, feels somewhat familiar.

For the protagonists of this current dimension, Replicating Planet's high-intensity operations this turn could be called top-tier, but for You Xuan, it only feels slightly familiar.

This is a common situation in the real-card environment of the 5Ds era, where the top-tier competitive deck "Junk Double Identity," built upon Planet's deck as a foundation, was common.

Back then, Junk Double Identity was famous for high-speed Summoning and extremely high-intensity narration, with five-minute turns and drawing out the entire deck being normal. Compared to that, this duplicate is actually rather conservative.

"Not bad." You Xuan looked at this duplicate and murmured.

Perhaps this duplicate truly evolved to its current state through various battles' tempering, or perhaps its blueprint is a future timeline's Planet, naturally stronger than the current timeline's.

Replicating Planet: "Level 3, Tuner Monster 'Junk Synchro Tuner'!

Two Level 1 'Adjusting Supporters'!

Tune stars!"

【3+1+1=5】

"Gathered wishes incarnate as the wheel of evolution, become a path of radiant light! Synchro Summon—

——Level 5, Synchro Tuner, Accel Synchro Tuner!"

The brand-new Synchro Tuner, when this monster entered the field, Planet's eyes nearly popped out of his head, so shocked he began to doubt his own eyes.

Because he saw that the one summoned onto the field seemed to be.

His own d-wheel?

Yes, a red d-wheel, identical in appearance to the mount beneath the two of them, yet summoned as a monster onto this overpass. Without a rider, it darted between them as if the d-wheel had its own consciousness.

Accompanied by the high-frequency hum of mechanical reorganization from the d-wheel, the red fairing split open like a living thing. The front wheel's hydraulic axle flipped upward in a reverse-joint posture, combining with the deployed side-wing armor to form mechanical feet; the rear exhaust ports split apart, continuously emitting blue ion flames during the transformation. The front end flipped forward, landing squarely on the chest, resembling heavy protective armor.

Acceleration Synchronizer, summon!

Yusei was stunned beyond words.

My d-wheel turned into a card?

Yes, that's right, the Acceleration Synchronizer is precisely the monster designed based on Yusei's d-wheel, which transformed into the form of a robot.

"It's not over yet; the Acceleration Synchronizer is merely the beginning of the true path of evolution."

Copy Yusei shouted.

"What you are about to see next is the true end of Synchro!"
