Chapter 1043

"Assault Mode," Copy Yusei said in a deep voice, "This is your strongest hidden trump card besides Shooting Star, right?"

Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode can negate the activation of any Spell, Trap, or monster effect by Tributing itself. Although its versatility and ATK stats are not as good as Blazar, it can barely be considered a low-spec version of Blazar. In the high-level builds of the early Synchro era, there were many builds centered on Stardust Assault Mode, and once summoned to the field, it had absolute dominance over the situation.

Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, Shooting Star Dragon; this is already the strongest lineup Yusei can currently bring out, and it also proves that he has truly exhausted all his efforts and completely brought out his full strength.

"But you know this isn't enough, right?" Copy Yusei said, "Whether it's Shooting Star Dragon or Assault Mode, neither can break through this situation."

However, although he said that, a smile appeared on his face.

A smile of anticipation that he hadn't had for a long time in his own timeline. It was as if he was looking forward to Yusei's next move, looking forward to Yusei using incredible means to gorgeously counter-kill him.

And Yusei did not live up to his expectations.

"The other card I drew is... Wildheart!" Yusei said, "I Normal Summon 'Wildheart'!" (Original card)

Summoned to the field was a wild warrior with a big beard, carrying a thick club on his shoulder, looking truly wild.

【Wildheart, ATK 1000】

Copy Yusei: "!"

He had all the memories of Yusei from his own world, so naturally, he remembered all the cards Yusei had used.

Therefore, the moment he saw this monster land, several cards immediately surfaced in his mind, connecting into a complete combo loop. Like lightning flashing through the darkness, he immediately understood the meaning of this combo.

A flash of astonishment crossed Copy Yusei's eyes: "This is..."

"That's right, this is the only combo I have to defeat you!"

Yusei shouted.

"Battle! Wildheart attacks!"

With a wave of his hand, Wildheart had already swung the heavy hammer in his hand forward.

Yusei: "Wildheart's effect: this card can attack the opponent player directly. But as a cost, this card must be destroyed after the direct attack succeeds."

"So that's it... You really are something."

Copy Yusei seemed to have already seen the ending, closed his eyes slightly, and revealed a somewhat gratified smile.

But he still cooperated and continued: "Then, I activate the effect of 'Cosmic Blazar Dragon'! When the opponent declares an attack, banish itself from the game until the end of the turn, negate the opponent's attack, and forcibly end the Battle Phase!"

Distorted space-time ripples suddenly erupted around Cosmic Blazar Dragon, and it spread its dragon wings, which seemed to be composed of galaxies, erupting from its chest with starlight that seemed capable of rewriting the rules.

And just as he expected, Yusei also spoke at this time: "Then at this moment, the effect of Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode activates! Tribute itself, negate the activation of the opponent's Spell, Trap, or monster effect!

I negate the effect of 'Cosmic Blazar Dragon' and destroy it!"

Negate your negation!

Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's wings bloomed with pure white light that denied all laws. When the law powers of the two dragons collided in the air, the entire space seemed to present a strange double mirror image, with two starry sky realms colliding in the void.

The collision point was silent for a thousandth of a second, and then erupted with ripples of space-time. Cosmic Blazar Dragon's body began to turn into stardust from the edges, and the starlight that originally constituted its body extinguished one after another, as if forcibly formatted by a higher cosmic law. Finally, a crisp sound of glass breaking came from within its body, and the entire dragon turned into billions of light spots and scattered in all directions.

Cosmic Blazar Dragon, destroyed!

Yes, Copy Yusei certainly knew clearly that moving first would lose the initiative, but he had no other choice.

Because the moment Stardust/Assault Mode and Wildheart landed together, the outcome of this duel was already destined.

Fudo Yusei really created a miracle. Wildheart's attack continued to go through, and a hammer blow hit the moving D-Wheel of Copy Yusei straight on.

【Copy Yusei, LP 1700 → LP 700】

"Wildheart must be destroyed after making a direct attack," Yusei said, "But at this moment, the effect of Shooting Star Dragon activates!

Shooting Star Dragon can negate and destroy an effect that destroys cards!

Therefore, I let Wildheart's self-destruct effect be destroyed, and destroy Wildheart!"

Shooting Star Dragon negated Wildheart's self-destruct, but then used its own effect to blow it into fragments.

At first glance, it seemed like a meaningless move, but combined with Wildheart's other effect, it was different.

"Wildheart's second effect is that when this card is destroyed by a card effect other than its own, it can revive from the Graveyard and return to the field."

Yusei said.

"Therefore, Wildheart revives from the Graveyard!"

【Wildheart, ATK 1000】

Wildheart can attack directly, and self-destruct after the direct attack. Shooting Star Dragon stops his self-destruct and destroys him, which in turn triggers Wildheart's second effect to revive from the Graveyard.

Of course, because he revived during the Battle Phase, the attack was also reset. Wildheart can continue to attack directly, self-destruct after the direct attack, and the self-destruct is negated by Shooting Star Dragon again...

"Infinite loop."

Zone, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this.

And the fake Zone opposite him also had a strange look on his face.

Fudo Yusei, this man, actually exceeded his calculations...

But why?

As far as he knew, Yusei in this timeline shouldn't be this strong yet. Whether it was the cards used or his strength, he shouldn't be as good as the copy at this time in all aspects.

Why would this happen?

"Because he is Fudo Yusei."

As if seeing through his thoughts, You Xuan, who was on the side, said with a chuckle, paused, and added with emphasis.

"... The real Fudo Yusei."

Fake Zone pondered for a moment: "The real Fudo Yusei, huh..."

But the Fudo Yusei he knew had clearly failed.

The history he knew clearly told him that he could not trust Fudo Yusei's ability, at least at this stage his power was not enough.

But does everything he sees before him tell him that he can try to believe in this man again?

"The revived 'Wildheart', once again!" Yusei said, "Direct attack!"

Wildheart let out a deafening battle roar, and his small body erupted with terrifying power inconsistent with his size. He dragged the huge club that was taller than himself, and the hammer head plowed a trench on the ground with sparks flying. When he suddenly accelerated his charge, the beard exploded like a lion's mane in the wind, and the arc of the club seemed to smash cracks into the space itself.

Copy Yusei smiled lightly.

"Beautiful, savior... Fudo Yusei."

The moment the club touched the D-Wheel, a circular air wave exploded first, and then his whole person was shifted off his trajectory as if hit by a battering ram. The Life Point counter returned to zero rapidly amidst the piercing alarm sound, while Wildheart maintained the posture of swinging the hammer, and the hammer head was still steaming with superheated white smoke.

【Copy Yusei, LP 0】
