"Jack, go for it!!!"
Inside the barriers of the Dueling Arena, Yugo and Rin shouted at the top of their lungs to cheer for Jack. Jack glanced at them, noticing Yusei behind them. He slightly lowered his gaze, said nothing, and twisted the handlebar, waving slightly towards them.
"Wow! Go for it, Jack!" The two kids were Jack's devoted fans, and seeing Jack respond to them made them all the more excited.
"So——"
MC looked at the two getting into position, raised his hand, and shouted, "3, 2, 1————"
"Racing Duel, start!"
Buzz!
In a flash before the opponent even noticed, Jack suddenly accelerated, sprinting off the track.
"The first to take the lead from the first corner! Oh! Our KING has already sped ahead, with Angma close behind——the first turn goes to Jack!!"
"I secured the first move, my turn!" Jack drew a card and skillfully placed it on the card holder on his bike, then took one out: "Normal Summon LV 2 Tuner Monster, Force Resonator!"
A little demon carrying an electric orb, sparking from both hands, lightly tapped its pitchfork, flying out from the card.
"When there's a Resonator monster on your field, this card can make its ATK halved and Special Summon——I Special Summon, LV 6 Red Warg!"
"Buzz buzz——"
A massive fiery wolf flew out from his card, and he accelerated sharply, spinning around, looking at his opponent, shouting, "Use the LV 2 Tuner Monster Force Resonator and the LV 6 Red Warg to tune!"
Synchro Summon——
Stardust Dragon!
Accompanied by his shout, a flying dragon with pure white wings yet an alien body flew out from the halo, advancing along with his D-wheel, "Wheel of Fortune."
Stardust Dragon, LV 8, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2500.
"Stardust Dragon?" Rin and Yugo looked at the monster simultaneously, then turned to Yusei. Yusei remained silent, saying nothing.
"Eh, Stardust?" Over on the Kaiba Company's side, Judai, who had gotten acquainted with Yusei these past few days, was also surprised to see this monster.
"Set a card, I'll end my turn like this."
"Heh heh, King of the S Dimension, huh?" Angma, driving behind, smirked, "Looks like those guys are too timid to embrace Synchro and Xyz, a king of one Dimension is just that, nothing special."
Seems like today, I might defeat you, become the leader of the Fusion Army, maybe even directly become the General——"
Seeing the opponent only Summon a monster with ATK 2500, his confidence surged, and the tension from earlier evaporated.
"My turn, draw!"
"Hehe, let me first see your hand——I activate the Spell Card, Confiscation, pay 1000 LP, check the opponent's hand, and discard one card!"
Angma LP: 4000→3000.
Jack, expressionless, pressed the display on his D-wheel, letting all the audience see.
There was an LV 5 Monster, an LV 3 Monster, and a Spell Card Monster Reborn.
"I've understood how this Synchro Summon works, in the end, without the Tuner, it's useless, right?" He glanced at his hand, laughed heartily, "I activate Confiscation's effect, sending that LV 3 Tuner Monster in your hand to the Graveyard."
Jack, expressionless, sent the Dark Resonator from his hand to the Graveyard.
Even though the opponent had Monster Reborn in hand, actually, Angma wasn't worried at all because he had the Continuous Trap Card, "Anti-Spell Fragrance." As long as this card is in play, Spell Cards can't activate immediately. By the next turn, this Jack would be left with nothing but high-level monsters, unable to move!
"Next, activate the Spell Card——Polymerization, fusing the Forgiving Maiden in my hand with the Darklord Marie in my hand!"
"Fusion Summon!"
"St. Joan!"
A burst of holy light descended, a pure maiden appeared amidst the glow, then swung her longsword, facing the flying dragon in front of her.
St. Joan, LV 7, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 2800.
"Battle, St. Joan, attack that inexplicable dragon!"
"Hey, ha!" The saint raised her sword, leaping forward, slashing it on Stardust Dragon.
Due to this attack, Jack's vehicle wobbled as if it might fall over at any moment.
Jack LP: 4000→3700.
"Ahhhh! Jack!!"
"Jack!!"
Some of the female fans who came all the way to the Satellite Area to see Jack felt heartbroken at this scene. Even Yugo and Rin couldn't help but shout his name.
However, with the smoke clearing, Jack, driving the Wheel of Fortune, continued to ride steadily.
Sigh——
Countless fans breathed a sigh of relief.
"Set a card, end turn!" Angma ended his turn confidently.
At this moment, Jack remained silent, not responding at all.
Meanwhile——
"Ah——"
"Wait, uh!!"
In the Elder Council, Goodwin walked forward with a gentle smile, and inside the Elder Council, corpses lay everywhere. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the elders, the smile on his face unchanged.
In order to ensure the Other Dimension People do not threaten their rule, day by day they increased their security, and on the day Jack was to duel with his Riding Duel, they dispatched almost ninety percent of the security officers to maintain order in the Satellite Area.
Thus, Goodwin's opportunity came.
His strategy was so simple, so straightforward, he didn't even use any Supernatural Power, just leisurely walked into the Council.
"Goodwin, what are you doing! You——"
An elder, still keeping his composure, wanted to argue with him, but the barrel of a gun was already pointed at him from Goodwin's men.
Bam——
He fell in response.
"Wait, wait——Goodwin, aren't you a Duelist! I know you've always wanted power, we, we can handle this the Duelist way!"
Some of the elders chimed in this way.
"Duel? With me?" Goodwin listened to his words, the smile on his face lingering, "With you folks? You don't even understand dueling?"
"Or are you referring to the support you got from the Other Dimension?"
"You! You knew all along?"
Goodwin slowly revealed a hand behind his back, letting a few cards slide from it. These battered and worn cards weren't Monster Cards, but rather cards depicting frightened human faces, "Fusion Army? Laughable, not even able to manage your own world and yet reaching out to seize more profit? Trading with some Other Dimension people?
Go in peace. I will lead this world to a brighter future—the future where I become a god."
He chuckled as he gently wiped away the splattered blood with a glove, turning to look at the screen.
At this moment, it was Jack's turn.
He rode his D-wheel to the forefront of the arena, raising his hand, pointing to the photographer following in a helicopter: "A king's duel must be entertaining!
First round, reveal the monster, grant the king's mercy!
Second round, give the opponent a chance to showcase themselves!
Third round, sweep away the opponent like falling leaves in an autumn breeze!"
"Wow! Jack!"
"Jack—"
"My turn!" Jack slammed on the accelerator, "Draw!"
"Hmph, boasting like that, thinking you can beat me this turn—I activate Continuous Trap Card: Anti-Spell Fragrance. As long as this card is on the field, neither side can activate Spell Cards without setting them first, and they can't be activated until the next turn they control comes around!"
"How about that—"
"In the absence of monsters on your field but with a monster on the opponent's field, you can halve the ATK and DEF to Special Summon—Special Summon, LV 5, Evil Dragon!" Jack slammed down a pitch-black dragon card.
"Then flip my Set Card, Call of the Haunted!" Jack didn't care about his opponent's cry, he simply opened the Set Card, "This card allows you to Special Summon a monster from the graveyard."
"But even if it's Stardust Dragon..."
"I will revive the LV 3 Tuner Monster, Dark Resonator from the graveyard!"
"Eh!"
Jack glanced at his opponent, raising his voice: "Other Dimension person, from you, I haven't felt the burning heart and enthusiasm for dueling that other duelists have!
Therefore—the king will demonstrate to you true absolute oppression!"
"Tune the LV 3 Dark Resonator and the LV 5 Evil Dragon on the field!"
It felt as if magma erupted from the ground, with endless flames spreading from the darkness as he drove.
"Tear through the pitch-black darkness, burn the world to the ground, oh solitary and absolute king!!
Tremble beneath your mighty gaze!
Synchro Summon!!
LV 8, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!!"
"Awooooooo!!!!!"
Accompanying his gesture, a gigantic horned black dragon appeared from the flames, swinging its tail and roaring to the sky.
Hot Red Dragon Archfiend, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 3000.
"ATK 3000!" Angma gulped, "But, if it's just that…"
"Activate Hot Red Dragon Archfiend's effect, once per turn, it can be activated in the main phase, destroying all attack position monsters on the field except for itself!"
"What—"
The dragon leaped high, then slammed down on the ground, the rising flames engulfing The Forgiving Maiden, burning it out of existence.
"This is bad!"
"Battle!
My soul!
Direct attack on the opponent!
Fury Slash Mountain Strike!"
After splitting the ground open with magma, the dragon didn't stop, spreading its wings, flying towards the opponent, and then punched out, stopping their motorcycle, with heat waves and airbags bursting out, shielding the Other Dimension person not so skilled in driving.
Angma LP: 3000→0.
Simultaneously, security police hurried over to "protect" him and escort him to the Kaiba Company's base.
Jack snorted.
He has fought enough of these boring opponents. Especially ones who lack the heart of a duelist.
He turned away, driving his D-wheel toward the Kaiba Company base.
Before long, everyone present saw the figure riding the Wheel of Fortune, surprised or in awe, everyone was amazed by this "King of the S Dimension."
Screech———
Jack stopped the vehicle, half-leaning in place, with Yugo and Rin, even many ordinary people from the Satellite Area excitedly shouting things like "As expected, Jack!" "Truly Jack!" "The idol of the people!"
MC descended from the plane, running over to interview him, but at that moment, Jack suddenly raised a hand, cutting MC off mid-sentence.
He pointed toward the Kaiba Company.
To be precise, he was… pointing at a person!
"Interesting."
"Wa-wait, Jack, this wasn't part of the plan!" A female voice echoed in his earphones.
"Pipe down!" Jack raised his hand, pointing off into the distance, eyes seemingly burning with flames, "My soul is telling me, if I don't do this now, I won't have another chance later!
It's burning intensely, telling me I must do it!
You're a duelist too, aren't you? Come, duel with me!"
At the Kaiba Company, nearly everyone was dumbfounded, the first to react was Manjome, who immediately stood in front of Kaiba Seto, shouting: "Master, let me handle this—"
"President!" Some other Kaiba Company staff hurried to intervene.
"Hahahaha, interesting!" However, at that moment, a spirited voice interrupted him, "Interesting, interesting! Jack Atlas, is it?
How interesting—"
He reached out a hand, and beside him, his brother promptly passed an old-model Duel Disk, pre-loaded with a Deck.
Good, after constantly watching duels, he was itching for one himself!
