Chapter 1086

The total output is exactly 4000!

Kaito's expression was grim; by now, he had seen the terrifying nature of this deck called "Inzektor."

Dragonfly equips Hornet, Hornet destroys a card, Dragonfly Special Summons Centipede, Centipede equips Hornet again, Hornet destroys another card, Centipede searches for Giga-Mantis, and Mantis is equipped to Dragonfly.

This basic combo sequence achieves two destructions and continuous searching in one turn, and in the end, the field attack adds up to exactly 4000 points, capable of achieving a kill in the blink of an eye.

"I heard you are the strongest duelist in Heartland."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"If it ended this simply, I would be disappointed."

Kaito: "..."

"Battle," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Inzektor Dragonfly, direct attack!"

At this moment, Dragonfly, having gained the Mantis equipment, saw its power undergo a heaven-shaking upgrade. As it lunged forward, the blades in its hands carved out transparent curves; the thousands of raindrops suspended in the sky were sliced through by the blades, forming an arc of water rushing straight toward Kaito.

And Kaito, as expected, still had a countermeasure: "Then at this moment, I discard 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from my hand, effect activate!"

A burst of starlight, as if from the galaxy itself, appeared on Kaito's field, gathering together to condense into the form of the loyal Kuriboh. It chirped "Kuriri" twice, hopping around in front of Kaito.

Yes, there is a Galaxy-themed Kuriboh. As the legendary second male lead of Z4, Kaito even has his own exclusive Kuriboh; the protagonist treatment is quite good.

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, I can discard Galaxy Kuriboh from my hand to activate its effect. Special Summon one 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon' from my hand or Deck!"

As he spoke, the small "Galaxy Kuriboh" that had appeared on his field had already decomposed into points of light. These scattered light particles rapidly reorganized in the air, condensing into a huge cross-shaped shuriken. Kaito jumped up to catch the shuriken, then threw this domineering weapon toward the firmament.

Kaito: "Galaxy shining in the darkness, become the light of hope and reside within me! Incarnation of light, descend here—

—Appear, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"

The shuriken spun, carving out a spiral trajectory, suddenly exploding at its peak into billions of diamond stars. These light particles proliferated wildly, first constructing a dragon skeleton formed of pure energy, with nebula patterns seemingly flowing over the bones. Then, a blue-white photon torrent began to weave muscles, and when the translucent dragon wings fully spread, a projection of the entire galaxy appeared on the wing membranes.

Crystal-like eyelids opened, and miniature black holes rotated within the dragon's eyes; those eyes seemed to reflect an entire galaxy.

【Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, ATK 3000】

"Galaxy-Eyes?" Jonouchi said solemnly. "What a powerful feeling. Is this monster also a spirit with extraordinary abilities?"

Although Kaito's Galaxy-Eyes is not a "No.", as the plot progressed, it became increasingly clear that this dragon is indeed an unusual spirit, especially when confronting the other Galaxy-Eyes held by the Barian Seven Emperors, "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon"; the resonance between the two dragons demonstrated that both possess abilities far exceeding ordinary spirits.

"Galaxy Kuriboh has another effect," Kaito said. "After summoning Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with Galaxy Kuriboh, the opponent's monster's attack target must be changed to Galaxy-Eyes!"

Fujiki You Xuan said: "I see. That means my attack cannot be stopped, right?"

Kaito: "Feel the anger of Galaxy-Eyes, and be burned to ashes!

Go! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's counterattack! Destruction Photon Stream!"

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon raised its head, and blinding blue light burst from the gaps between its scales. This light rushed toward the dragon's maw like a living thing, condensing into a rotating star core between its fangs. The ball of light spun faster and faster, constantly collapsing and expanding within, with lightning-like energy turbulence dancing on its surface.

The energy reached a critical point, and a roar like the birth of the universe came from deep within the dragon's throat. The sphere that had swallowed all light suddenly stretched, turning into a blue torrent that pierced through heaven and earth.

Destruction Photon Stream!

The momentum of offense and defense reversed again in an instant; this time, it was Dragonfly that was countered by the suddenly appearing Galaxy-Eyes, looking as if it were about to be smashed into fragments along with its equipment.

But Fujiki You Xuan still had a next move: "Then at this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Duel Fusion' from my hand!

This card is activated during battle, allowing the ATK of a monster I control to increase by the ATK value of the opponent's monster only during the battle!" (Original effect)

After being released as a physical card, a restriction was added that only Fusion Monsters could use it, but the original animation version in GX did not have it. The Duel Fusion of the animation was like a Quick-Play version of Honest without attribute restrictions.

Kaito's expression shifted again: "Nani?"

This guy actually still had a backup plan...

【Inzektor Dragonfly, ATK 2400 → ATK 5400】

The destructive Photon Stream roared toward it, but was completely absorbed by Dragonfly. Dragonfly swung its mantis armament and took the opportunity to counterattack; the domineering energy was instantly pushed back, engulfing the Photon Stream launched by Galaxy-Eyes itself, drowning Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon within it.

Kaito gritted his teeth: "Then I activate the other effect of 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from the Graveyard!

If a 'Galaxy' or 'Photon' monster on my field would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I can banish 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from my Graveyard instead of that destruction!"

The Kuriboh card in his Graveyard exited the game. Kaito revealed this card, and the small Kuriboh once again appeared steadily on the field, coming before Galaxy-Eyes to share the impact damage for it.

"I banish 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from my Graveyard to negate the destruction of 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon'!"

With the help of Kuriboh's power, Galaxy-Eyes managed to barely withstand this round of bombardment. But the shockwave that swept past it lost none of its momentum, continuing to flip Kaito himself onto the ground.

"Defended well," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "But you still have to accept the battle damage."

【Kaito, LP 4000 → LP 1600】

"So... so strong."

Jonouchi commented inwardly.

This was the first time he had seen the deck Fujiki You Xuan was using today, but just in this one turn, he couldn't help but deeply admire the ferocity of this deck's offense.

But at the same time, being able to defend against attacks under such relentless pursuit and successfully keep his ace on the field, this boy from another world is indeed not to be underestimated.

In just one short turn, it felt as if they had already gone through the exchange of offense and defense of an entire duel between ordinary duelists; it seemed that in such a duel, a single moment of carelessness would lead to being smashed to pieces instantly.

"I still have 'Inzektor Centipede' that hasn't attacked, but since Galaxy-Eyes wasn't destroyed, Centipede is no match for Galaxy-Eyes. I won't attack; Battle Phase ends."

Fujiki You Xuan said nonchalantly.

"I set one card face-down, turn end."
