Chapter 340: The Fleeting Moment of Ultimate Power

Demon Emperor Gaius, summon!

【Demon Emperor Gaius, Attack 2400】

Wu Teng's expression tightened: "The legendary Dark Emperor."

The Demon Emperor's form was shrouded in pitch-black mist, his crimson eyes glowing faintly and mysteriously in the darkness.

"The effect of Demon Emperor Gaius: when a higher-level summon succeeds, one card on the field is banished from the game."

Fujiki You Xuan pointed again at the colossal dragon dominating Wu Teng's field.

"Electron End Dragon is banished from the game!"

The demonic god rising from the darkness flickered with red light in his eyes, black energy beginning to coalesce in his palms.

Like a chaotic source fused with countless negative emotions, it twisted the air, slicing across the entire field like a comet. Where it passed, space was torn as if pulled by an invisible hand; the stable dimensional structure collapsed, its path of ruin extending straight toward the Electron End Dragon.

Even with 16,000 attack power, the Electron End Dragon could not resist the Demon Emperor's might. This strike would erase it from existence the moment it landed!

"Then activate the trap card—activate this card once more."

Wu Teng flipped his back-row spell card.

"Quick-Play Spell—'Electronic Technology Zone'!"

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan murmured. "There's a second one?"

"The effect of 'Electronic Technology Zone': banish any face-up fusion monster on the field until the end of this turn," Wu Teng said. "Electron End Dragon, evade the Demon Emperor's attack!"

The azure-blue magical barrier descended again, and the Electron End Dragon vanished once more by a hair's breadth. The Demon Emperor's black energy sphere roared past Wu Teng's side.

"That was close."

Even spectators outside the arena involuntarily held their breath for Wu Teng.

This duel felt like constant dread—no matter which side you supported. Wu Teng's Jizhi OTK-style violent offense seemed effortlessly neutralized by Fujiki You Xuan, but even a glancing touch meant instant knockout.

And Caesar's Electron End Dragon looked dazzling, but fighting with it was like walking on thin ice. The opponent dodged its sharp edge entirely, refusing direct confrontation, yet unleashed endless field-clearing and banishing tricks—any misstep would mean forced retreat.

"You've survived all that—no surprise, Caesar," Fujiki You Xuan said. "But due to the effect of 'Temporary Truce,' this turn you cannot inflict damage."

He drew three more cards from his hand.

"I set three cards face-down. End of my turn."

"At the End Phase, the effect of 'Electronic Technology Zone': Electron End Dragon returns! And its attack power doubles again!"

Wu Teng declared.

"This is the essence of my duel—the ultimate moment I seek! Return in your strongest form, Electron End Dragon!"

【Electron End Dragon, Attack 16000 → Attack 32000】

"Attack power 32,000!"

The watching students were stunned. They gazed up at the three colossal dragons and for a moment felt as if Wu Teng had fused with the steel-fortress-like dragon behind him.

It was as if the Electron End Dragon was his incarnation—the ultimate moment of a duelist's burning soul, the symbol of the highest peak of his path.

"No surprise," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "But I don't need to remind you—monsters enhanced by 'Electronic Technology Zone' must be destroyed during your next Preparation Phase, right?"

This overwhelming power was merely an illusion—the strength granted by this card was like a fleeting beauty born from burning one's soul and life, paid for with premature demise.

But Wu Teng only smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, but I have my own plan."

"My turn, draw!"

Wu Teng drew a card, then swept his hand open to reveal his back row.

"Trap Card—'Solomon's Lawbook'! This card allows you to skip your next Preparation Phase!"

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan couldn't help raising an eyebrow.

That was quite creative.

The audience erupted.

Skip your own next Preparation Phase? You can do that!?

"The 'Electronic Technology Zone' grants massive power boost, but the cost is the monster self-destructing during the next Preparation Phase," said the Blue Dorm student. "But if the Preparation Phase is skipped—"

"The Electron End Dragon with 32,000 attack stays on the field and won't self-destruct!" the Yellow Dorm student grabbed his buddy beside him and shook him wildly. "Caesar is insanely strong! This is too much!"

Wu Teng glanced at the card he drew, then at Fujiki You Xuan's three face-down cards, pondered briefly, and did not attack immediately. Instead, he revealed his hand: "Then I activate the spell card 'Falling from Heaven'! Both players draw until each has six cards in hand!"

After replenishing his hand and scanning his cards, he seemed to relax slightly, then swept his hand forward.

"Attack! Electron End Dragon, attack 'Demon Emperor Gaius'!"

"Eternal Evolution Shockwave!"

Countless flowing electronic pulses surged along the dragon's silver body, rushing into its mouth like cannon energy charging.

Blinding light erupted violently—not ordinary flame, but concentrated electronic energy, accompanied by deafening thunder.

32,000 output—any contact means instant knockout!

Fujiki You Xuan naturally wouldn't let it pass so easily: "Activate trap card—'Dimensional Seclusion'."

"When your monster declares an attack, that attacking monster is immediately banished from the game!"

Electric light surged; a rift tore open in space, forming a vast chasm leading into the abyss directly before the Electron End Dragon!

Wu Teng's expression tightened.

Again with banishing!

It was like an endless pit—no matter how many times he stepped, he couldn't escape it; no matter how strong his power, he couldn't break through.

He had burned everything to create the ultimate End Dragon, yet the opponent simply ignored his royal challenge. Even 32,000 attack power felt like punching into cotton.

But he still had a counter.

"Quick-Play Spell—'Fusion Release'!"

Wu Teng shouted.

"Release the fusion of 'Electron End Dragon'!"

Golden light enveloped the Electron End Dragon; the three-headed steel dragon split into three, reverting to three separate Electronic Dragon forms.

"By releasing the fusion of End Dragon, I special summon one set of fusion materials from the graveyard," Wu Teng said gravely. "Thus, I special summon the two 'Electronic Dragons' and one 'Original Electronic Dragon' used to fuse Electron End Dragon!"

【Electronic Dragon, Attack 2100】x2

【Original Electronic Dragon, Attack 1100】

"Now 'Dimensional Seclusion' loses its target and becomes a wasted activation," Fujiki You Xuan nodded. "But now the Electron End Dragon is gone too."

"Such a rare 32,000-attack End Dragon—what a pity."

Fujiki You Xuan feigned regret.

Wu Teng: "."

True, it was accurate—but for the very cause of this disaster to say it aloud made him inexplicably furious.

But he had excellent composure, and his offense wasn't over yet.

"You think the power of Electronic Dragons can't defeat a monarch, don't you? But my attack with the Electronic Dragons isn't finished yet."

Wu Teng's eyes flashed with determination as he revealed another card in hand.

"Quick-Play Spell—'Restriction Release'!"

There's more than ten thousand characters left—I'll finish tomorrow
