Chapter 1096

Abandoned factory.

The rusty conveyor belt was coiled in the center of the workshop like a dead giant python, and the congealed machine oil spread into sticky shadows on the ground. The only emergency light tube was buzzing, illuminating the piled metal waste into a pile of deformed skeletons. The damp air was filled with a fishy smell mixed with rust and mold, and whenever the night wind poured in from the broken glass windows, the rusty hooks would make a creaking whimper on the beams.

In the shadows of this industrial ruin, an old-fashioned cathode ray tube television was like an otherworldly window forgotten by time. The screen full of snow noise was playing the classic animation "Tom and Jerry", Tom was comically crashing through a cardboard wall, but only intermittent current noise came from the speaker. The brown wood grain veneer of the TV shell had warped, revealing the rusted iron sheet underneath.

At this time, Vetrix was sitting in front of this TV, laughing heartily at the performance of Tom and Jerry in the TV, his short legs kicking in the air.

And his three sons looked at their father, who was over fifty years old but still keen on dressing up as a young boy, acting cute there, and all fell into silence for a while.

However, the young father smiled and suddenly frowned, turned off the TV, and stood up.

The three sons all saw something wrong from his expression: "What?"

"Someone is coming," Vetrix said lazily, glancing at IV casually. "IV, it's the mouse you brought, right."

"What? I didn't..."

IV subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, it was indeed only him who had just returned, and it was indeed difficult to refute for a while, so he had to cut a sound irritably.

Among Vetrix's three sons, III had the gentlest temperament, and at this time said: "It's okay. No matter who comes to find us, as long as the three of us brothers work together..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father Vetrix: "No, this is IV's problem, it should be solved by himself."

III looked at Vetrix in surprise: "Father..."

Vetrix didn't give him a chance to speak again, just looked at IV with a smile: "You're right, IV?"

IV's expression was ugly, he snorted heavily, and said in a low voice: "A few mice are not a concern, I can deal with them."

Vetrix laughed loudly: "I knew I could trust you, you are really reliable, IV. Then, let's all go, the tracking mice will be left to IV to handle."

After speaking, he clapped his hands. Only to see a transparent green crest released from the back of his hand, and invisible power tore open the space, forming a circular crack, in which was chaos like a starry sky.

Vetrix took the lead and walked into it, his body seemed to be scattered into countless particles, sucked into the void and disappeared without a trace.

V then walked in and disappeared. III was the last one to walk in, pausing for a moment before the void, seemingly hesitating to look at his brother who stayed behind, but finally walked in.

The vortex closed, as if it had never existed, and after a while, only IV was left standing in place.

IV clenched his fists unconsciously: "I won't let you down, absolutely..."

Half a minute later, the Hanoi Knights' assault team had already broken through the door and surrounded IV in the middle.

Aster Phoenix stood in the C-position of the lead, walked out slowly, and stood opposite this yellow-clad duelist from another dimension.

"Is it you?" Aster asked. "The one who has been attacking professional duelists with Shadow Duels in the city for the past two days?"

Aster paused and narrowed his eyes.

"Don't you know that in this city, using the power of Shadow Duels requires asking for the opinion of the 'Hanoi Knights'?"

"Hanoi? What is that?"

IV said irritably.

"So you are the leader of that Hanoi thing?"

"Me?"

Aster couldn't help laughing out loud. "No, not really. Me... let's put it this way, I'm just their companion, but now I see injustice, and I can't help but want to teach a guy like you who abuses dueling power a lesson, that's all."

IV sneered: "Is that so? Just right, I don't have the intention to waste time talking nonsense with you either. Since that's the case, then come on!"

He activated the Duel Disk directly.

"Talk with a duel? You're really a simple and easy-to-understand guy, well, I don't hate it either." Aster raised his hand to signal the people behind him: "You guys step back, I'll meet this guy."

The Hanoi Knights all recognized Aster and knew his top-level dueling strength, so no one had any objections and all stepped back as ordered.

Aster and IV stood on the left and right respectively.

"Duel!" x2

【Aster, LP 4000】

【IV, LP 4000】

Aster caught a glimpse of the indicator light representing the power to choose the first or second turn randomly lighting up on his Duel Disk, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He looked up at the opponent and said: "Although you are the challenger, you are a guy who abuses dueling after all, so I won't be humble with you evil heretics.

I won't be polite and go first. My turn, draw."

Aster drew a card.

"Activate Spell card 'D-Spirit'!" Aster said. "This card can only be activated when there is no face-up 'Destiny HERO' monster on your field.

Special Summon one Level 4 or lower 'Destiny HERO' from your hand!"

Aster showed another card in his hand.

"Special Summon 'Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude' in Defense Position!"

The horizontal monster card appeared on Aster's field. The hero full of diamonds appeared on the field, his hands crossed and squatting in front of Aster, his cloak flying behind him.

【Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude, DEF 1600】

"Diamond Dude's effect activates, once per turn, flip the top card of your deck, if it is a Normal Spell card, send that card to the Graveyard. If it is not, return that card to the bottom of the deck. If a Normal Spell card is sent to the Graveyard with this effect, you can activate the effect of that Normal Spell card during your next Main Phase."

Although Diamond Dude's effect is theoretically random, Aster is the pillar of Destiny HERO after all, and he hasn't failed to draw a spell since he appeared in the anime.

Sure enough, Aster drew one and immediately showed it: "What I drew is the Spell card 'Destiny Draw'.

Therefore, send this card to the Graveyard, and I can directly use the effect of this Spell card without cost in the next turn."

Aster sent the Spell to the Graveyard.

"Next, I Normal Summon 'Destiny HERO - Fear Monger' in Defense Position!"

The second horizontal monster card appeared on the field, and the masked Destiny HERO with muscles appeared, blocking in front with the shields on his arms side by side.

【Destiny HERO - Fear Monger, DEF 800】

"That's the end of the turn."

Aster put down the Duel Disk and made a "please" gesture.

"Then it's your turn. Come on, let me see, the strength of you who dares to attack major professional duelists!"
