Chapter 260: Ice and Fire Dragon

"Delta."

Fujiki You Xuan remembered this name.

Before Alpha hung up, he had said that Delta was the most excellent one among them.

"So it was you." Fujiki You Xuan understood.

"Yes, my brother has been taken care of by you before." Delta said calmly.

"So, are you here to avenge him?"

"That's not really it. Although we are brothers, we can't say there is any friendship, and the reason I came here is entirely official business."

Delta raised his duel disk and said.

"Of course, although the duel here is not quite the same as the 'Shadow Duel' you know, there are similarities in the results.

The loser's consciousness data between us will be deleted. If I lose, my program will vanish, representing the extinction of my consciousness existence.

If you lose, although your body will be fine, I'm afraid you will never be able to wake up in reality."

Fujiki You Xuan understood. Sure enough, the prototype of the "Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS" setting has begun to appear.

In the sixth part of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, all duels are conducted online, and there is no concept of Shadow Games. But in that worldview, playing cards online also has life-or-death duels similar to Shadow Duels, and the loser becomes a "lost one," similar to a vegetable state and can never wake up for life.

However, compared to the Shadow Duels Fujiki You Xuan has experienced before, it is still a bit entry-level.

"I understand." Fujiki You Xuan also raised his arm and opened the duel disk.

"Duel!" x2

"I'll go first, draw." Fujiki You Xuan said. "Set one monster face-down on the field, set one card face-down in the back row, turn end."

"Standard opening." Delta said. "Then my turn, draw.

First, activate Spell Card 'Trade-In', discard a Level 8 monster from my hand, draw two cards from the Deck.

I discard the Level 8 'Tyrant Dragon', draw cards from the Deck."

He then slowly drew a card from his hand.

"Activate Continuous Spell 'Future Fusion'."

Fujiki You Xuan's eyelids twitched.

Hiss~ another eternal forbidden card.

A god-tier card that was banned starting in 2012 and only released after its effect was heavily nerfed in 2017.

However, two different versions of Future Fusion appeared in the GX anime. The one in Kaiser's hand was an Equip Spell, while the one used by Darkness's subordinates later was the same Continuous Spell as the old physical card version.

Delta currently revealed the Continuous Spell version.

"Future Fusion, can choose one of my Fusion Monsters, send the fusion materials required for that monster from the Deck to the Graveyard.

During the second Standby Phase after activation, perform a Fusion Summon for that monster."

Just as the name suggests, the effect of allowing monsters to fuse in the future. It's just that the reason it was banned was not because of this, but because it can accurately dump cards from the Deck to the Graveyard; compared to this, the Fusion Summon became secondary.

And one of the Fusion Monsters most often used with Future Fusion back then was...

"The Fusion Monster I choose is this one." Delta revealed a card. "Five-Headed Dragon!"

Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes.

As expected.

Five-Headed Dragon, in the original work, was a monster used by the five big bosses on the board of Kaiba Corporation, with both ATK and DEF at 5000, a ceiling-level monster in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! card pool.

But that's not the point. The strongest part of Five-Headed Dragon is that its fusion condition is any five Dragon-type monsters without any other restrictions.

"Five-Headed Dragon's fusion condition is five Dragon-type monsters." Delta selected five cards from his Deck in one go. "Therefore, I send five Dragon-types from my Deck to the Graveyard!"

Five dragons were sent into the Graveyard area from the duel disk with a clatter, instantly dumping five cards accurately; this is the true power of Future Fusion.

However, Delta paused after operating to this point and chuckled lightly.

"All the cards I use are in the Abiak building." He said. "If you beat me, it's your freedom to take away my deck, or even all the other rare cards stored in this building."

"Heh, you're really generous." Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "Then I won't be polite."

"As you said, it's only natural for the winner to win everything."

Delta shrugged, appearing indifferent.

"Then, I continue to activate Spell Card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the Deck, then discard two cards from my hand." Delta said. "Then activate Spell Card 'Silent Dead', Special Summon a Normal Monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position."

As he spoke, a card in his Graveyard was ejected.

"The Gemini monster 'Darkstorm Dragon' can be treated as a Normal Monster as long as it exists on the field or in the Graveyard. Therefore, I Special Summon 'Darkstorm Dragon' from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"

【Darkstorm Dragon, DEF 2500】

Darkstorm Dragon, Fujiki You Xuan remembered that the AI trio had also used it before. However, since they came from the same family and all were AI designed with Kaiba as the benchmark, and seemed to have a special preference for Dragon-types, it's not strange to have similar cards.

"Then, Darkstorm Dragon, as a Gemini monster, can gain new effects by being Normal Summoned again." Delta said. "I Gemini Summon 'Darkstorm Dragon' to gain new effects.

Once per turn, by sending a face-up Spell/Trap card on my field to the Graveyard, destroy all Spell/Trap cards on the field!"

He pulled the card from his duel disk slot and sent it to the Graveyard area.

"I send Continuous Spell 'Future Fusion' to the Graveyard, and your back row will be destroyed."

Darkstorm Dragon spread its wings, whipping up a pitch-black hurricane. Fujiki You Xuan's face-down card flipped over and was torn into pieces in the storm.

Continuous Trap - Dragon Seal Jar.

"So cautious." Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "Solved the threat of the Seal Jar?"

"You used the Dragon Seal Jar when you first fought the Kaiba Seto duel program. During this operation to sneak into the Abiak building, you should have anticipated the possibility of fighting us AI."

"Then, the probability of you putting anti-Dragon-type means in your deck is not low."

Delta's tone was still calm.

"I am more excellent than my brothers, the only most excellent individual selected through countless training; simple tactics are useless against me."

He then drew another card from his hand.

"Activate Spell Card 'Card of Burial of Spells'. Banish 'Future Fusion', 'Graceful Charity', and 'Silent Dead' from the Graveyard, draw two cards." (Original card)

Delta drew two more cards.

"Then the effect of 'Frost and Flame Dragon' in my hand. This card can be Special Summoned directly by banishing two WATER monsters and one FIRE monster from my Graveyard.

I banish the FIRE 'Darkblaze Dragon' and two WATER 'Blizzard Dragons' from my Graveyard!

The legendary dragon that transcends the boundaries of ice and fire——

——Frost and Flame Dragon, summon!"
