Chapter 210. The Last Acceleration of T.G.! After the Hand Exchange, the Seed of Calamity—Multi-Strike to Ten-Thousand ATK for the Win!
Bruno took a deep breath and steadied himself.
Since the Duel had come this far, it was time to spend the last of his resources.
He absolutely couldn't drag it out any longer.
Next turn—there must be a winner.
Sei Yuki: "My turn! I activate my Set card, Emergency Teleport!"
Bruno: "Chaining as Chain Link 2, I activate the Maxx 'C' you gave me after we exchanged hands!"
Bruno: "Chaining as Chain Link 3, I activate T.G. Star Guardian to perform an Accel Synchro!"
"Using it together with T.G. Over Dragonar and T.G. Recipro Dragonfly for a Triangle Accel!"
"I'll show you—the principle of radiant light!"
"This is the power of my bond with Yusei!"
"COME! ON—Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
Sei Yuki: "Resolving my effect."
Sei Yuki: "I Special Summon Psi-Reflector!"
Bruno: "Next, T.G. Power Gladiator and T.G. Warwolf keep accelerating!"
Bruno: "Synchro—GO! T.G. Over Dragonar!"
"Commence revival! Return to the field!"
"T.G. Star Guardian, T.G. Recipro Dragonfly, Shooting Star Dragon T.G. EX!"
"I activate Star Guardian to Accel Synchro a second time!"
"Adjust Star Guardian with Over Dragonar for a second tuning!"
"COME! ON—T.G. Blade Blaster!!!"
Sei Yuki: "I activate Psi-Reflector's effect!"
Bruno: "Pointless! Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon negates it!"
Bruno: "Then I'll destroy your Meklord Emperor Skiel!"
Sei Yuki: "Then I activate the Spell Monster Reborn!"
Sei Yuki: "I revive Diabellstar the Black Witch from your Graveyard!"
Sei Yuki: "I banish three 'Meklord' monsters from my Graveyard to Special Summon Meklord Astro Dragon Triskelion!"
Bruno: "Heh heh heh! I was waiting for this!"
Bruno: "I flip the Trap TG1-EM1!"
Bruno: "Target one monster on your field and one face-up 'T.G.' monster I control; switch their control."
"I give you my T.G. Recipro Dragonfly, and I take your Meklord Astro Dragon Triskelion!"
Bruno once again fired off Accel Synchros, crazily building a board during the opponent's turn!
This time, Bruno meant business—he put all the other ace monsters from his Extra Deck on the field!
Whether it was Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon or T.G. Blade Blaster, both were bona fide Extra Deck aces!
And Sei Yuki's line… even got bull-headedly twisted by a single backrow from Bruno into a monster swap!
Seeing this, quite a few veteran Duelists grew grim.
This Duel—should be about to end.
If Sei Yuki couldn't break Bruno's field this turn, then next turn Bruno would definitely Accel Synchro again to drop even more ace monsters—
—and break through for the win!
The monsters recovered by Pot of Desires were enough for another full round!
And besides—who could guarantee Bruno didn't have a second Desires?
If he did, it was worth continuing to grind the resource war.
Sei Yuki: "Your Dragonfly is crying, you know that?"
Sei Yuki: "In that case, I'm getting ready to end this turn as well."
Sei Yuki: "I Synchro Summon using Diabellstar the Black Witch and Psi-Reflector!"
"I'm summoning this monster—Colossal Fighter!"
"I activate the Monster Reborn I got off the exchange!"
"I revive Gabrion, the Timelord from my Graveyard!"
"I enter the Battle Phase!"
"I attack with Gabrion, the Timelord!"
"At the end of the Battle Phase in which this card battled: return all cards your opponent controls to the Deck."
"After that, your opponent draws cards equal to the number returned to their Deck."
Bruno: "I activate Shooting Star Dragon T.G. EX! I negate you!"
Sei Yuki: "Oh? So you really were saving the negate for this."
Sei Yuki: "In that case, time for the main act."
"I use Colossal Fighter, now with 3000 ATK, to attack your T.G. Blade Blaster!"
"I pay 300 LP, destroy Colossal Fighter by battle and send it to the GY!"
"Colossal Fighter's effect—Special Summon it back! Since you activated Maxx 'C', draw one card!"
"Colossal Fighter—second strike on your T.G. Blade Blaster!"
"I pay 300 LP, it's destroyed and sent to the GY!"
"Colossal Fighter's effect—Special Summon it back; you draw one!"
"Colossal Fighter—third strike on your T.G. Blade Blaster!"
"I pay 300 LP, destroyed and sent to the GY!"
"Colossal Fighter—Special Summon; you draw one!"
"Colossal Fighter—fourth strike on your T.G. Blade Blaster!"
"I pay 300 LP, destroyed and sent to the GY!"
"Colossal Fighter—Special Summon; you draw one!"
"Colossal Fighter—fifth strike on your T.G. Blade Blaster!"
"..."
???
All the Duelists, when they first saw Colossal Fighter blow itself up, reflexively thought Sei Yuki had misplayed!
But when they saw Colossal Fighter revive like crazy—
—and then blow itself up again and again, forcing Bruno to draw off Maxx 'C'—
—their expressions began to change!
Whoa!
This is—
Hold it, hold it!
Colossal Fighter's self-revival—
—turns out it has no "once per turn" restriction!
What the—what kind of cracked card is this?!
Is he going to deck Bruno out by forcing draws?!
Keep in mind—300 Life Points—
—for Sei Yuki with ten thousand LP, he could do this twenty times without a problem!
And Bruno's Deck didn't have many cards left—
—at most, fewer than fifteen!
If this kept going, Bruno would definitely lose to deck-out!
Realizing this, in the 5D's world, Yusei and the others—who had thought Bruno was favored—suddenly went pale!
They stared, dumbfounded, at the Duel unfolding in the video!
"This… this Mr. Yuki is an entertainer too!"
"That hand exchange—did he read Bruno's Duel mindset?"
"Did Mr. Yuki predict Bruno would choose Maxx 'C'?!"
Crow Hogan widened his eyes at the scene.
Only now did he realize—the hand exchange—
—might have been a trap Sei Yuki set for Bruno!
Now that Bruno had used it, it lined up perfectly with Sei Yuki's kill route!
"Must be! He really is from a higher world!"
"This setup… it was decided from the very start, wasn't it?"
"Bruno's starting to sweat."
Akiza Izinski looked at Bruno beside her, goggles on.
She couldn't see his expression—
—but she could tell he was drenched in sweat.
Bruno: "???"
Bruno: "I see—so the moment I activated Maxx 'C', you were already set to begin?"
Bruno: "You want me to draw out my Deck?"
"Too bad!"
"I activate T.G. Blade Blaster, banishing a 'T.G.' from my GY to banish itself!"
"In that case, if you want to attack, you'll have to hit the 4000-ATK, Attack Position T.G. Halberd Cannon and Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
"And your LP—are they worth wasting like this?"
"My Deck still has fifteen cards!"
"It's useless! I'm still taking this Duel!"
Sei Yuki: "Colossal Fighter, sixth strike—your Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
Sei Yuki: "After it's destroyed, I pay 1000 LP!"
Sei Yuki: "Colossal Fighter revives; you draw one."
Sei Yuki: "Who said I was going to deck you out?"
"I still have Plan B!"
"Colossal Fighter has already attacked more than five times!"
"The Meteor Combo—Black-and-White Humanoid Machine in my hand can now Special Summon itself!"
"Then—Colossal Fighter, seventh strike—your Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
"..."
"Colossal Fighter, eighth strike—your Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
"..."
"Colossal Fighter, ninth strike—your Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
"..."
"Colossal Fighter, tenth strike—your Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!"
"..."
Strangely—
Sei Yuki kept ramming Colossal Fighter, blowing it up over and over—
—burning through huge chunks of his own Life Points!
Until the eleventh strike—
Sei Yuki suddenly stopped attacking!
Instead, he had Meteor Combo—Black-and-White Humanoid Machine, with 0 ATK, attack Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!
Everyone was stunned!
One after another, they stared at Sei Yuki in shock.
This was… what was Mr. Yuki doing?!
Using a 0-ATK monster to attack a 4000-ATK Stardust Chronicle?!
Was this a joke?
But before anyone could react—
—the next moment left everyone even more baffled—
—even Bruno was left speechless!
Sei Yuki: "Meteor Combo—Black-and-White Humanoid Machine, effect—activate!"
Sei Yuki: "This card gains ATK equal to the number of attack declarations made by the turn player this turn × 1000."
Sei Yuki: "So in the end—its ATK is 11,000!"
"Blow away Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon—take 7000 damage!"
"And your Life Points—are only 6200!"
"This Duel is mine!"
"It's over, Antinomy!"
Yes—
Just as Sei Yuki demonstrated!
Meteor Combo—Black-and-White Humanoid Machine, which had started at 0 ATK—
—surged monstrously at the last moment of damage calculation!
With a one-punch finish, it shattered the entire T.G. defense line—
—and ended the Duel then and there!
The whole process—
—finished in five seconds.
Every Duel world fell silent.
Bruno stared at the scene, shaken.
The eyes behind his visor were full of shock, confusion, complexity, and bewilderment.
It was over?
Just… over?
Was this Sei Yuki's final winning formula with his entertainment-style Meklords?
Plan B?
Then Plan A was to deck the opponent out under Maxx 'C', huh?
But unexpectedly—
there hadn't been enough Life Points?
After that moment of global silence, the world boiled over!
In the DM world, Yugi Muto and the Pharaoh were completely rattled!
"Incredible! Mr. Yuki's Duel skill is that good too?!"
"Other me—could you see his plan from start to finish? He was gambling from the moment of the exchange, wasn't he?!"
The two immediately linked their minds—
—and the more they discussed it, the more their hearts pounded!
They hadn't expected—
—that Sei Yuki's winning formula had been laid from the very moment of the hand exchange!
And once Bruno chose Maxx 'C', he'd stepped into Sei Yuki's equation, already being solved!
The Meklords—
—were just a stalling package!
In the 5D's world—
Seeing Bruno stand there frozen—
Yusei Fudo, Akiza Izinski, and the others slowly exhaled.
Their expressions were even more complicated than Bruno's.
They never imagined—
—that the Duel would end like this.
Even more unexpected—
—Bruno could only watch, completely unable to break out or save himself!
"Looks like it hit Bruno hard."
"Nothing to be done."
"The T.G. deck's flaws and drawbacks really are severe."
Kalin Kessler murmured, then closed his eyes in silence.
Bruno took off his visor and looked up at the big screen.
This short video—
—was it a record of his loss?
Did he… lose?
Bruno's expression was complicated. He knew he had a lot to reflect on from this Duel.
Perhaps—
—he had to start reflecting from the very first misstep.
In the VRAINS world—
Playmaker and the others could only give wry smiles.
They'd already suspected Sei Yuki's winning formula might be unrelated to Meklord Emperor—
—but they hadn't expected it to be this kind of combo!
Not a special win condition—
—but repeated attacks, layer by layer, building to a final, lethal blow!
"Dang! That equation is tough to write!"
"Mr. Yuki's luck was on point!"
"Good thing Bruno opened by committing with early T.G. starters and built a board!"
"Otherwise, Mr. Yuki wouldn't have had such a good window!"
Specter blinked and quipped immediately.
He was sure—
—that if it were him—
—seeing the early commitment, he wouldn't have extended.
"No helping it, Specter."
"If Bruno doesn't commit, do you think he could withstand the Meklord Emperor's pressure?"
"I'd say—that's hard."
"And Mr. Yuki had plenty of hand traps."
"Obviously, it didn't matter."
Zaizen spoke evenly.
In his view—
—that early commitment was an act of necessity.
If he didn't, he had to.
In the main world—
After winning, Sei Yuki felt indescribably satisfied!
This Duel Master app's simulated Link Duel—
—felt too real!
It was like actually Dueling the characters from the anime!
Hearing the familiar voices!
Seeing the virtual vistas when monsters were summoned!
The exhilaration of summoning mid-Duel!
The back-and-forth with Bruno!
All of that was way more fun than a straightforward Master Duel match!
Mainly—
—you could talk!
If Master Duel ever let you voice-chat with your opponent—
—that'd be amazing!
"Whew! Didn't think my casual entertainment deck could take the match!"
"Looks like these anime Duelists are pretty easy to bamboozle."
"I even pulled off a combo this hard!"
"So satisfying! A single win to fuel a whole day!"
"..."

"Huh? There's even all this random stuff."
"Whatever, I'll just fill it out."
Sei Yuki curled his lip, but still completed everything.
Next, he started looking for the next short video to watch…
