【Electronic Dragon - Dark ★★★★★(5) Mechanical/Dark ATK:? DEF:?】
Dark Cyber Dragon's attack power is equal to the number of cards you recycled x 1000! Dark Shark Island grins maliciously, "You recycled two cards, so—"
【Electronic Dragon - Dark ATK:2000DEF:2000】
Battle Phase! Yuuki remains unmoved, unleashing Origin Attack: Cyber Dragon Darkness! Genesis Slash!
The Origin's Greatsword cleaved down, shattering the black mechanical dragon into pieces amidst golden light. But Dark Shark Island's life points remained completely unchanged.
Foolish. Dark Shark Island scoffed. When the Dark Cyber Dragon is destroyed in battle, it deals damage equal to its attack power!
The shattered mechanical debris suddenly exploded, and the shockwave hit Yuki directly in the face.
【Travel Notes LP: 540 (money) 0 → 3400】
It's not over yet! Yuuki gritted his teeth and activated the Quick-Play Spell "Chaos Rebirth," returning "Shadow" from the Graveyard to the Deck and Special Summoning "Storm" from his hand!
Arashi's figure descended once more, his katana swirling with an even stronger flow of data than before.
Equipping the [Chaos Blade] increases attack power by 800!
【Chaos Samurai - Storm ATK: 2300→3100】
A direct attack from the storm!
The samurai's blade flashed across the chest of the Dark Shark Island, splashing a trail of eerie blue liquid.
[Dark Shark Island LP: 7700 → 4600]
Set one card to end the turn. Yuuki sets [Amazon Warrior] face-down, his heart pounding. The situation remains unfavorable; his opponent will definitely...
My turn, draw! Dark Shark Island suddenly emits an inhuman shriek, activating the Continuous Spell [Cyber Dark Evolution]! Special Summon [Cyber Dark Horn] from the Graveyard!
A terrifying monster, half-mechanical and half-biological, burst from the ground, its horns crackling with purple lightning.
【Electronic Dark Magic Horn ★★★★★(5) Mechanical/Dark ATK:800 DEF:800】
Next, activate the Spell Card [Cyber Dark Impact]! Dark Shark Island continues its expansion, sending the Demon Horn on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summoning [Cyber Dark Blade Wing] and [Cyber Dark Bone] from the Deck!
Two equally twisted mechanical creatures descended, forming a triangular encirclement.
It's not over yet! Dark Shark Island frantically waved its arms, sending the two Cyber Dark Monsters on the field to the graveyard, merging them through contact—Descent, [Cyber Dark Fortress]!
The ground cracked open, and a mobile fortress rose from the ground, its cannons all locked onto Yuki's monster.
【Electronic Dark Fortress ★★★★★★★★★(9) Mechanical/Dark ATK:0DEF:5000】
Fortress effect! Dark Shark Island Roar, once per turn, destroys all monsters on the field whose ATK is lower than their DEF! Dark Wave Cannon!
The fortress's main cannon fully charged, unleashing a purple shockwave that covered the entire field. Lan's 3100 attack power was higher than the fortress's defense, but Origin's 3000…
Chapter 289 Electronic Dark Fortress
"Chain activation of the Origin effect!" Yuuki immediately countered, "Tribute this card to negate one activation of a Spell/Trap/Monster effect!"
Origin raised his greatsword high, transforming it into a golden barrier that blocked the purple shockwave. But this left only Storm in attack stance on the field.
"Battle Phase!" Dark Shark Island couldn't wait. "Electronic Dark Fortress attacks Chaos Warrior Lan! Although your attack power is higher, when the fortress is destroyed in battle, it will deal damage equal to its defense value! 5000 points, that's enough to finish you off!"
The fortress opened all its cannons, unleashing a barrage of fire. Lan wielded her katana with impenetrable skill, but ultimately could not withstand such concentrated firepower. She was finally struck by a main cannon shot and shattered into pieces.
"Now's the time!" Yuuki activated his face-down card, "Trap Card [Amazonian Holy Warrior]! When our Warrior-Type monster is destroyed by battle, Special Summon an Amazonian monster from our hand or Graveyard! Revive, [Ponji-nee]!"
Amidst the smoke of battle, a female warrior with long pink hair landed gracefully, her rapier gleaming coldly.
【Peng Ci Jie ★★★★ (4) Warrior/Earth ATK: 1500 DEF: 1300】
"It's useless!" Dark Shark Island roared, "Combat damage calculation!"
The shockwave from the fortress explosion swept in, but was guided and dispersed by Sister Peng Ci's exquisite movements.
[Travel Notes LP: 3400→0]
The observation deck suddenly fell into dead silence.
Yuki looked down at the zeroing-out health bar, then looked up at Dark Shark Island's twisted smile. But the next second, something unexpected happened—
Yuuki's Duel Disk suddenly projected a holographic message: "Chaos Protocol activated. Life points refactored."
His health points fluctuated wildly before finally settling at 1.
"What?!" Dark Shark Island recoiled in shock. "This is impossible!"
Yuki felt a warm current flow from the Duel Disk into his entire body. The Chaos Creation Card automatically popped out of his deck, hovering in front of him, radiating an unprecedented light.
This is... the true power of chaotic code. Yuki reached out and grasped the scorching card, feeling countless streams of information flooding into his mind—not destruction, but the possibility of reconstruction.
[Travel Notes LP: 0→1]
Dark Shark Island's face twisted in disgust: Cheating! The system clearly ruled you lost!
There are also things that the system cannot calculate. Yuki's voice suddenly echoed with overlapping sounds, such as the bond between humans and AI.
The Duel Disk suddenly disintegrated into countless golden particles, which then reformed around Yuki. These particles formed a new armor—the Chaos Armor—with blue-gold (AGCE) data flowing throughout. Yuki's irises turned completely into a dazzling gold, and data points shimmered at the tips of his hair.
"Impossible!" Dark Shark Island roared hysterically. "How could a human have merged with the Chaos Code to this extent!"
Because I have never been just human. Yuki raised his hand, and the monster on the field, Peng Cijie, was enveloped in a golden cocoon of light. Activating the effect of [Chaos Creation Guidance] in the Graveyard, it banished the monster, allowing one monster on the field to attack twice this turn!
The cocoon of light shattered, revealing a completely new look for Sister Peng Ci, whose rapier was wreathed in chaotic energy.
Battle phase! Yuki's voice echoed through the sky, "Sister Pengci attacks the Electronic Dark Fortress! Chaos Pierce!"
The female warrior's figure transformed into a golden streak of light, her rapier piercing precisely into the core of the fortress. The colossal machine groaned under the strain, then vanished in a violent explosion.
Second attack! Directly attacking the player!
Peng Cijie flashed in front of Dark Shark Island, her rapier pointed straight at his throat. Just as it was about to strike, the opponent's face-down card suddenly rose up:
Trap Card [Cyber Reconstruction]! Return [Cyber Dragon Infinite] from your Graveyard to your Extra Deck and negate this attack—
"It's no use." Yuki interrupted calmly. The chaotic code had already restructured the rules of this duel. During the damage step, Peng Ci was unaffected by any card effects.
The rapier pierced Dark Shark Island's chest without any resistance.
[Dark Shark Island LP: 4600 → 3100]
Dark Shark Island staggered backward, not bleeding from the spot where he had been stabbed in the chest, but instead gushing out streams of black data. His skin began to peel away in pieces, revealing a horrifying structure of machinery mixed with flesh and blood beneath.
"It's not over yet..." he roared, "My turn isn't over yet! Activate Quick-Play Spell [Cyber Overload]! Discard the top five cards of your Deck; for each Machine-Type monster, inflict 500 damage to you!"
The deck automatically dispenses five cards, three of which are Machine-type.
"1500 damage, you're finished!" Dark Shark Island waved wildly in delight.
A golden light screen suddenly unfolded from Yuki's armor, absorbing all the incoming electronic pulses.
"The chaotic code is protecting me," Yuji said softly, "just as it has always been protecting the balance of the electronic world."
Dark Shark Island finally collapsed. He tore off his tattered human skin, revealing a core entirely composed of black metal: Let's perish together! Initiate self-destruct program! All captured consciousnesses will—
"Xiao Ai," Youji suddenly called out, "Now!"
The entire top floor of the Duel Tower was suddenly submerged in a blue data stream. A girl's phantom emerged from the data storm, her hands gently resting on the mechanical core of Dark Shark Island.
"Brother, it's time to wake up." Xiao Ai's voice was gentle and sorrowful. "I never needed you to save me... because the meaning of my existence was to protect you."
Dark Samejima—no, Samejima Eiji's true form suddenly trembled violently. Cracks appeared on its black outer shell, from which pure blue light shone through.
No...Aya...I...His voice has regained its human qualities, I must...protect him.
That's enough. Xiao Ai's phantom embraced the mechanical monster. Let's end this nightmare.
Yuji raises the Chaos Genesis Card: Activate the Chaos Final Protocol - Data Purification!
The card erupted with a sun-like light, enveloping the entire space. Samejima Eiji let out a sigh of relief; the black outer shell peeled away like dust, revealing the battered human bodies beneath. One by one, the capsules imprisoning duelists around them opened, and the unconscious began to awaken.
When the light faded, Yuki's Chaos Armor had also dissipated. He knelt on the ground, looking at Samejima Eiji, who was also kneeling not far away. The double serpent emblem on the latter's chest had disappeared, leaving only a faint scar.
Yu...Ki... Samejima Eiji struggled to lift his head. Aya...
Xiao Ai's illusory figure drifted to Youji's side, much more transparent than before: My core data is severely damaged... I must return to the Digital World to repair it...
Yuji tried to grab her hand, but only touched flowing data points: How long?
It may be a long time... Xiao Ai's figure begins to fade, but the chaotic code has already recognized you as its master... We will eventually...
Before she could finish speaking, she transformed into countless specks of light. These specks of light did not disappear; instead, they flowed into Yuuki's Duel Disk, eventually merging into the Chaos Samurai deck.
Samejima Eiji stood up unsteadily, tears welling in his eyes: She... went back?
Temporary. Yuuki put away his deck, feeling the new warmth pulsating within it. Once the Chaos Code is fully awakened, we can open the door to the Digital World and completely end the conspiracy of the New World.
Police sirens wailed in the distance. Asuka led the medical team into the observation deck, and visibly relaxed when she saw that the two were safe and sound.
"Is it over?" she asked breathlessly.
Yuuki gazed at the clearing sky and gently stroked his deck: No, this is just the beginning. The real duel... has only just begun.
Between his fingers, the vortex pattern on the Chaos Creation Card slowly rotated, as if responding to a call from a distant world.
Chapter 290 Duel with Asuka
In April, as cherry blossoms fluttered in the air, Duel Academy welcomed the new semester. Yu Yang leaned against a cherry tree, organizing his deck, pink and white petals falling onto his dark blue school uniform. This deck, themed around memories, was designed by himself; each card carried a story.
Hey, you're blocking my way.
A cool female voice came from above. You Yang looked up, and sunlight filtered through the flower branches, casting dappled shadows on the girl's face. She was wearing a white uniform, her long golden hair was tied up with a red ribbon, and she was holding several thick textbooks on dueling theory in her arms.
"Sorry." You Yang hurriedly stood up, scattering cards all over the floor. One of the trap cards, depicting an old-fashioned camera, floated to the girl's feet.
Asuka bent down to pick it up and glanced at the card: [Memory Freeze]? A card she'd never seen before.
It's a homemade card. Yu Yang's ears turned red. Its effect is that when the opponent launches a direct attack, the damage from that battle is reduced to 0, and the name of the attacking monster is recorded on the card.
Asuka raised an eyebrow: The academy prohibits the use of unofficial cards.
It wasn't for competition. You Yang carefully took the card; he just... wanted to remember every opponent he had faced.
This answer made Asuka glance at him again. She noticed that the boy's deck contained quite a few obscure cards, and the edges of the card sleeves were severely worn, indicating that it had been frequently handled.
Want to try it out in a real battle? Asuka suddenly took out a folding Duel Disk from her wristband and used her official deck.
Yu Yang's eyes widened. Standing before him was Asuka Tenjouin, the Duel Academy's recognized genius girl and the master of the Cyber Angel deck.
