Chapter 201: Codename Alpha

The moment Alpha's deformed Duel Disk started, a transparent wave spread out, like a pale blue barrier covering the entire field.

Zhang Ka recognized at a glance that this was technology similar to the Duel Disk Kaiba used last time.

Scientific Shadow Duel?

Zhang Ka frowned slightly.

He knew similar technology from the Iliaster organization in 5D's, but those guys were people from the future. Is there anyone else in this era who masters similar technology besides Kaiba?

He began to be a little curious about the other party's origin.

"Fine."

Zhang Ka also deployed his Duel Disk.

"Duel!" x2

【Zhang Ka, LP4000】

【Alpha, LP4000】

"I'll go first, draw card."

Zhang Ka revealed a hand card.

"Continuous Spell 'Messenger of Peace'. All monsters with 1500 or more ATK on both sides of the field cannot declare an attack."

Similar to 'Gravity Bind' and 'Level Limit - Area B', they are also common attack blockade cards in the early days of self-closing. However, this card is more flexible to use; it requires the holder to pay 100 Life Points during each of their own Standby Phases to maintain it, or they can choose not to pay Life Points and let it be destroyed.

So the holder can voluntarily lift this blockade in any turn they want.

"Attack blockade right from the start." Alpha crossed his arms and sneered, "Are you that afraid of the power of my deck?"

Zhang Ka didn't answer, just smiled, and continued: "Then activate the Spell Card 'Hand Destruction'. Both sides discard their entire hands, then draw the same number of cards."

Alpha drew cards again, while calmly observing Zhang Ka's expression after drawing cards.

Cards to replace the hand, are you looking for a specific card or combination?

"Cover a monster on the front field." Zhang Ka said, "Then set a card, turn end."

"Heh, it seems you didn't find the combination you wanted? Then be crushed under my power!

My turn, draw card!"

Alpha waved his hand.

"Normal Summon 'Paladin of Felgrand'!"

The blonde swordsman came to the field, his white cloak fluttering behind him.

【Paladin of Felgrand, ATK 1700】

"When this card is successfully summoned, equip a Level 7 to 8 Dragon-type monster from your hand or deck to this card."

Alpha pulled out a card he searched from the deck.

"Equip the Level 7 Dragon-type 'Arkbrave Dragon' from the deck."

A phantom of a shining giant dragon emerged, attaching to the knight's blade like a dragon soul.

"Then activate the Continuous Spell 'Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lord'!" Alpha said.

The sculpture of the Divine Dragon Lord appeared on the field, and the surroundings were like a dilapidated temple.

"Once per turn, you can send a face-up card on the field other than this card to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a 'Dragon Token'.

I send 'Arkbrave Dragon' used as an equip card on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Dragon Token'!"

【Dragon Token, DEF 0】

"Then the subsequent effect of 'Paladin of Felgrand', Tribute a monster on your field and this card, you can Special Summon a Level 7 to 8 Dragon-type monster from the Graveyard.

Therefore, I Tribute 'Paladin of Felgrand' and 'Dragon Token', the soul of the shining dragon revives here—

—Level 7, Arkbrave Dragon, summon!"

The Paladin and the Token both disappeared from the field, and the posture of a dragon was transformed in the dazzling light curtain, and the shining giant dragon descended in the light spots flying all over the sky.

【Arkbrave Dragon, ATK 2400】

"Actually this deck..." Zhang Ka held his chin.

This deck he also saw when he went to Kaiba Corporation last time, it was a derivative series developed by the research group of Kaiba Corporation with the 8-star Dragon-type 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as the theme, and it is the latest generation of powerful Dragon-type decks.

But this deck was born not long ago, and it is not even on the market yet, even in the Kaiba Group.

Zhang Ka became more and more concerned about who the other party was.

"Arkbrave Dragon is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, banish all face-up Spell and Trap cards on the opponent's field!" Alpha shouted, "Messenger of Peace, disappear for me!"

The shining radiance erupted from the giant dragon's body, and the storm of radiance blew away the Messenger of Peace in the back row, banishing it to the other side of the different dimension.

"And, for each card banished by this effect, Arkbrave Dragon's ATK increases by 200!"

【Arkbrave Dragon, ATK 2400 -> ATK 2600】

"This way the attack blockade is lifted, such simple means have no effect under my shining dragon!"

Alpha laughed loudly.

"Battle! Crush it! Arkbrave Dragon, attack the covered monster!"

Arkbrave Dragon opened its mouth, and dazzling strong light erupted. The covered monster flipped, it was a red-skinned blacksmith.

【Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu, DEF 500】

"The monster you attacked is 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu'." Zhang Ka said, "When this card is flipped, you can select an Equip Spell from the deck and add it to your hand."

He pulled out a card he searched from the deck.

"I add the Equip Spell 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma' to my hand."

If it were the students who had witnessed the cruelty of this 'Butterfly Dagger One-Turn Kill' set in the academy, they should have started sweating by now, but the other party didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Then the Battle Phase ends, set three cards to the field."

Three Set Cards appeared in Alpha's back row.

"Then activate the Continuous Spell 'Nightmare's Mirage' from my hand! During the opponent's Standby Phase, draw cards from the deck until my hand becomes four cards!"

Zhang Ka glanced at the three Set Cards in the opponent's back row.

Looking at it this way, these Set Cards might have been set to the field to increase the number of hand supplements.

Blind guess, at least one is 'Very Food'.

"By the way, 'Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lord' also has an effect." Alpha sneered, "When there is a Level 7 to 8 Dragon-type on my field, only monsters Special Summoned from the Graveyard can use monster effects for both of us.

Monsters Special Summoned from anywhere other than the Graveyard will have their effects negated during the turn they are summoned!"

Zhang Ka nodded lightly: "It's really troublesome."

"Hmph." Alpha crossed his arms and sneered, "If you don't want to continue being beaten to a pulp, it's not too late to surrender and join us now."

Zhang Ka looked at the other party's standing posture and POSE, and pondered for a moment.

"Do you have any feeling that the way you speak, and some actions... are a bit like Kaiba Seto?"

"Oh? Already noticed?"

Alpha chuckled and hummed.

"That's right. I am..."

"Kaiba President's fanatical fan?" Zhang Ka interrupted.

"That's right, I am Kaiba Seto's fanatical fan... Pfft!"

Alpha, who was almost led by the rhythm, had a dark face.

"Nonsense! I am the latest generation AI designed with Kaiba Seto as the prototype. Kaiba Seto is destined to be replaced by us, and we will lead the Kaiba Group back to the right path!"

Zhang Ka: "."

Hearing this villain's declaration, Zhang Ka's first reaction was not surprise, not shock, but just instinctively popped out that old saying.

If only there were a peanut...
