Chapter 522: The Next One?

Industrial Illusions Building, Headquarters.

A piercing alarm sounded throughout the building, and red alarm lights flickered in the corridors. The building instantly entered a state of alert, and various personnel moved rapidly through the hallways.

From the outside, it was just an entertainment company selling cards. But in fact, the interior of this building was almost a fortress with live ammunition, equipped with various defensive weapons, and even anti-aircraft guns and missile interception systems.

But now, most of the functions of this building had quietly fallen into the hands of invaders from the universe. The Light of Destruction exerted its talent for mental influence, controlling most of the staff here.

The elites stationed here on weekdays were only a few card professors, and people like the Pegasus brothers were all in their own foundations. The semi-retired Pegasus-shacho lived on his own island most of the time—of course, Pegasus had also been ambushed not long ago.

So no one had noticed that this building was now under the control of the forces of light.

Melo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, looking out the window expressionlessly. At this moment, a man in a white uniform walked into the room quickly and reported urgently.

"Sir, air raid alarm."

The man in the white uniform said.

"We are being attacked."

"Coming faster than I thought." Melo said softly, as if talking to himself. "Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, sooner or later, they will always come..."

He glanced at the deck mounted in the Duel Disk on his hand.

"A pity, still a little bit away from perfection... but it should be enough to sweep this world."

He raised his head and said loudly.

"Send them all out." Melo said. "Prepare for battle."

"Yes."

"..."

As the jet approached the Industrial Illusions building, a magnificent scene soon came into view.

Duel Monsters, densely packed Duel Monsters. They were all over the sky, like an army, floating in mid-air, protecting the company building in the middle like an iron bucket.

The intention shown was obvious. To enter here, you have to pass them first.

"It seems they don't intend to give way."

Jonouchi in the cabin frowned.

"Should we take a tough approach?"

"Seems so."

Judai had already opened his Duel Disk, facing the army ahead, even looking forward to it.

"This should be very interesting."

As he spoke, his card had already been slapped onto the Duel Disk.

"Elemental HERO Neos!"

The pillar of light seemed to penetrate the atmosphere from the depths of the universe, descending overbearingly. The white Neos hero's body rushed into the army of Duel Monsters with an unstoppable momentum, punching and kicking, continuously knocking down several people as his figure passed.

Materializing Duel Monsters in reality was an ability Judai unlocked in the final season of the anime, but now he had gained this ability by fusing the power of the Supreme King in advance.

However, even before fusing the Supreme King, powerful spirits like Neos themselves had the ability to materialize. After all, as early as the Light of Destruction arc, Neos fought against Saiou in person, and even flew into space to deal with satellites.

It was just that after Judai's power was upgraded and gained support, the combat power of the spirits in reality would naturally increase accordingly.

At this moment, Neos looked like a god of war, rampaging through the opponent's materialized monster army. Sometimes laser beams shot from his forehead, cutting down several monsters like blades. Sometimes his hands were crossed, and the impact beam poured out for thousands of miles, booming and exploding a string of gorgeous fireworks in mid-air...

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

Jonouchi also summoned his soul monster Red-Eyes. However, he himself was a mortal and didn't have as many cheats as Judai. But his Red-Eyes was also a spirit, and Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan had specially borrowed a military-grade materialized Duel Disk from Kaiba for this battle, so he now also had the power to turn Red-Eyes into reality.

Neos was slaughtering in the enemy formation, attracting most of the firepower. Judai and Jonouchi took the opportunity to jump out of the cabin and ride on the back of Red-Eyes. The legendary black dragon spread its wings and charged at full speed, spitting black fireballs to open the way, rushing straight toward the outer layer of the building.

Judai took the opportunity to summon his beloved hero Flame Wingman—this was also one of the spirits Judai liked to materialize most in the Dimension arc of the original work.

Flame Wingman also flapped his wings and flew, guarding the left and right of Red-Eyes. Any opponent who tried to rush up to block was intercepted by him, either kicked away by a flame flying kick, or shot and exploded by the flames spat from the dragon head in his hand.

Clang!

The thick bulletproof glass on the outer layer of the building vanished under the breath of Red-Eyes' black fireball. The two jumped through the window, rolled to unload the force, and stood firm.

"Awesome!" Jonouchi couldn't put down the exclusive Duel Disk of KaibaCorp in his hand. "We should do this more often."

Successfully breaking through the heavy encirclement, but both knew this was just the beginning.

Only a few seconds after getting up, a man in a white uniform and sunglasses had already blocked their path, unfolding his Duel Disk.

"Don't even think about moving another half step from here." The man in sunglasses said in a deep voice. "Your opponent is me." Jonouchi and Judai looked at each other.

They weren't surprised. Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan had said long ago that they might encounter interception weapons such as missiles and anti-aircraft guns, or the defensive line of a materialized monster army when they raided. But generally speaking, these things had more deterrent effect than actual effect.

Especially now that Judai had gained the power of the Supreme King, he was already top-tier in the world in terms of supernatural level, and this level of interference couldn't stop him.

After breaking through, there must be a dueling defense line.

"Just right, my hands are itchy too, let me handle this first."

Jonouchi stretched his muscles.

"Is it okay?" Judai looked at him.

Jonouchi gave an OK gesture.

"Good, then I'll go in first, be careful."

Judai high-fived him, and then took the lead to continue moving forward.

!. Read

The man in sunglasses didn't stop him, letting Judai go in first. Anyway, there would be others responsible for interception later.

His duty was the opponent in front of him.

"Duel!"

【Jonouchi, LP 4000】

【Man in Sunglasses, LP 4000】

"I'll go first, draw!" Jonouchi said. "Heh, I just happened to have some new inspiration, let me try it out on you. I summon 'The Black Stone of Legend'!"

【The Black Stone of Legend, ATK 0】

"The Black Stone of Legend's effect: Tribute this card, Special Summon a Level 7 or lower 'Red-Eyes' monster from the deck. Come! Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

A high-pitched dragon roar, a lava fire pillar shot into the sky, transforming into the overbearing black dragon figure.

【Red-Eyes Black Dragon, ATK 2400】

"The legendary Red-Eyes." The man in sunglasses snorted dismissively. "But no matter how famous it is, it's just a seven-star commoner in the end."

"That might not be the case." Jonouchi smiled mysteriously.

"Oh?"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Inferno Fire Blast'! When I have Red-Eyes Black Dragon on my field, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the original ATK of that Red-Eyes!"

【Red-Eyes Black Dragon, ATK 2400】

The man in sunglasses frowned: "Starting off by inflicting massive damage equal to Red-Eyes' ATK..."

"It's not over yet, then chain the Quick-Play Spell 'Serial Spell'!" Jonouchi said. "Discard my entire hand, I can copy the effect of the Spell Card just activated, making this card's effect the same as that Spell Card!"

Man in Sunglasses: "?"

Become the same as the Inferno Fire Blast just activated?

"In other words, you are going to take two consecutive Inferno Fire Blasts..." Jonouchi smiled. "Two times the damage equal to Red-Eyes' ATK!"

Man in Sunglasses: "..."

Na-na-na-na-ni!?

The man in sunglasses' eyes widened, and his sunglasses slid down his nose bridge.

No...

My turn hasn't even come yet, I haven't even played a card yet?

"Uwaaaaaa—"

【Man in Sunglasses, LP 4000 → LP 0】

Simply completing the one-turn kill, Jonouchi clapped his hands gracefully.

"Next?"
