[Chimera Overdrive Dragon][ATK16000]

After a brief moment of surprise, Ed glanced at his graveyard, then raised his head and said, "Because [D·hero Defense] has entered my graveyard, the number of [Hero] cards in my graveyard has increased. Now [D·hero Destroyer Phoenix] will reduce the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field by 1800 points."

"Hehe, for a Chimeric Overload Dragon with an attack power of 16000 points, is there any difference between a decrease of 1800 points and a decrease of 1600 points?" Caesar said contemptuously, with his arms folded across his chest.

[Chimeric Overdrive Dragon] [ATK16000→14200]

Although Ed was very upset by Caesar's tone, he was completely unable to refute Caesar's words, because even if the attack power of [Chimera Overload Dragon] dropped by three [Blue-Eyes White Dragons], there would still be 5200 points left, which was more than enough to destroy all the monsters on his field and clear his own basic points. If there was anything difficult, it would probably be how to destroy his own monsters without clearing out his own basic points in advance, right?

After all, what is 16000 points of attack power? Such attack power is too unfair and too super-model. How can it appear in a normal duel?

At this moment, Ed felt a bit like the one who heard that it was his turn to fight Sukuna and was full of confidence, but found that his teammate was a raw grass like Tiga. He was also full of doubts about the divination of his good friend Saiou - you said that such a guy would be defeated by me, completely defeated and then become autistic? Why do I feel that I am the one who is going to become autistic?

However, Ed only complained a little in his heart, but he did not lose the will to fight. After all, although it looked powerful, [Chimera Overload Dragon] was ultimately just a monster without any resistance. The effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] could easily destroy it.

  Caesar has his intelligence network, but does Ed have none? He knows about the effect of [Chimera Overload Dragon]. Don't underestimate my intelligence network!

Ed's friend Saiou Takuma is a very competent agent for professional duelists. He can often use his unique methods to obtain information that is difficult for others to obtain, such as the video of Hayato and Caesar's graduation model duel. It is also with the help of these videos and Saiou's divination that he can help Ed predict the opponent's deck again and again, forming Ed's current "intelligence hero" play style.

Although Caesar has not been in the professional duelist circle for too long, the videos available are mostly about his decks during school. The information about his current deck is not comprehensive, and it is not necessarily possible to know all of Caesar's cards, but [Chimera Overload Dragon] is among the known cards because it appeared as the trump card to end the duel when Caesar dueled with a duelist using a Slime deck.

He remembered that the monster itself had the ability to attack a number of times according to the number of fusion materials. The effect of [Evolved Doomsday Flame] was just icing on the cake. It was mostly used to retrieve the [Overload Fusion] card and add a self-restraint that prevented monsters from being special summoned without magic cards.

  If there were no cards that could be used to unfold, who would be willing to bear a not-so-lenient self-restraint for nothing? In Ed's inference, although Caesar still had three cards in his hand, how many of them could be used to unfold?

All three cards are moving points? Impossible, I'm afraid there is not even one of them? No, considering that the opponent is an outstanding graduate from Mr. Hayato's Duel Academy, he still has one moving point in his hand. But, can that moving point really move?

You know, apart from the obvious [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man], the cover card is not just for decoration.

"Activate the magic card [Big Storm] to destroy all the magic and trap cards of both players!"

The card Caesar played made Ed's expression freeze.

No, what kind of cards do you have? [Pot of Great Desire], [Future Fusion], [Evolutionary Final Flame], and now [Great Storm], none of them can't be used.

Although he was complaining, Ed did not watch his card being destroyed. Instead, he immediately pressed the button to activate the card. "Even if the [Cyber ​​Dragon] of 'Electronic Stream' changes, it will eventually be summoned from the Fusion Deck as a Fusion Summon, right? Whether it is [Cyber ​​End Dragon] or the current [Chimeric Overload Dragon], it is a Fusion Deck after all - it will be restrained by the card I put!"

"Then chain the activation of [Great Storm] and open it before my cover card is destroyed!"

"Trap Card [Co-op]! During the turn this card is activated, my monsters cannot attack directly, but since it is activated during your turn, this side effect has no effect on me!" I discarded a card from my hand and said, "I discard a monster card from my hand and can activate [Co-op] by targeting a face-up monster on the field. The target monster's ATK and DEF become the same as the respective values ​​of the monster discarded to activate this card until the end of the turn!"

"That's one of the reasons why I specifically searched for [D. Hero Dagger Man] before. But now, because of your [Heavenly Treasure Card], I have a better choice."

Ed said, showing the card he discarded. "The monster I discarded is this [D3], with 0 attack and defense points. The monster I want to select is naturally the only [Chimera Overload Dragon] on your field!"

  The attack power of [Chimera Overload Dragon] is indeed very high, but another reason why Ed is confident in facing it is because of his [Koudou]. In the face of its power, even a [Chimera Overload Dragon] with an attack power of over 10,000 can only become a weak monster of the same level as the [D·hero] discarded in Ed's hand. This is the fate of monsters without resistance!

This card can be said to be specially prepared by Ed for Caesar, whose deck is mostly composed of cards with high attack power but little resistance. And he was extremely lucky to have drawn it in the last round when the duel was about to end, and successfully activated it at this moment!

"Your [Chimera Overload Dragon] is useless except for its high attack power, Caesar!" Ed waved his hand, "Submit to me and your fate of defeat, [Chimera Overload Dragon]!"

In the midst of the [Big Storm] that was destroying everything, a black and purple air current came against the wind and transformed into a mechanical cat-like figure. It took advantage of the unpreparedness of the [Chimeric Overload Dragon] on Caesar's field and suddenly entangled its body. With the cover of the [Big Storm], it forcibly deprived the [Chimeric Overload Dragon] of its power!

[Chimeric Overload Dragon] [ATK14200/16000→0/0]

Seeing that Caesar's arrogant [Chimera Overload Dragon] was so easily turned into a small fry with only 0 attack points, Ed also laughed: "The last hope is actually cut off just like that, Caesar. Seeing that the powerful monster that I wanted to use to end the duel has become so weak at this moment."

"How do you feel now? How do you feel?"

"Especially, you are still subject to the restriction that 'you cannot Special Summon monsters without the effect of a Spell Card'. Can you still summon new monsters with the cards in your hand?"

Hearing what Ed said, Caesar sneered: "Although you won the world championship, you are still just a 15-year-old kid. When did you get the illusion that I was using [Chimera Overload Dragon] as a trump card?"

"Huh?" Ed was also stunned when he heard this, and glanced at [Chimera Overload Dragon]. That's right, he didn't look at an extra 0 just now? If the attack power of this monster was 1600 points, he might think that this card was just a card used to test and step on the trap, but the attack power of [Chimera Overload Dragon] just now was 16000 points, and even after being suppressed by [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man], there was still 14200 points left.

Isn’t such a monster an ace?

"Among the monsters on your field, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] and [D·hero Dystopian] both have the effect of destroying the opponent's cards at two speeds. The obvious [D-Tactics] can steadily increase the monster's attack power. Normally, even if you have two destruction effects, most people will never waste them easily, but you still did it for the sake of endurance."

"I'm afraid you felt that you had too many effects that could hinder me, so it didn't matter if you used just one. So you prioritized using the relatively expensive effect of [D-hero Dystopian] on your own card, just to retrieve a card."

After a pause, Caesar said with some contempt, "From this, it is easy to conclude that 'your backcourt blocking will be very troublesome, which gives you so much confidence', right?"

"Based on this reasoning, I naturally have to test what your backfield cover card is first, and use [Chimera Overload Dragon] as bait. As expected, you activated it in advance for fear that your [Co-fight] would be wasted." As he spoke, Caesar played another card in his hand, "This way, I don't have to worry about the future." "Enter my battle phase, and then in the battle phase, I activate the quick-attack magic card [Eternal Electron]!"

Following Caesar's declaration, a large amount of blue-white electric current suddenly splashed everywhere on his field. At the same time, in the midst of this dazzling electric light, a dragon-shaped black shadow flew from the end of the light.

That figure gave Ed an unusually familiar feeling, and then he suddenly widened his eyes: "Could this feeling be——"

"You can activate Eternal Electron by targeting a Cybernetic monster in my graveyard." Caesar held up the card, "Return the target monster to the Fusion Deck, or Special Summon it regardless of the summoning conditions!"

"When I fused Chimera Overload Dragon before, I didn't banish it. The one I wanted to Special Summon was naturally the only monster in my graveyard - my old friend, Cyber ​​End Dragon!"

The mechanical dragon that appeared on Caesar's field had huge wings, a slender snake-like body, and three heads. Although it was just a metal creation and theoretically had no thoughts of its own, Ed, who was stared at by it, could feel a cold murderous intent very clearly, as if he would be annihilated in the next second!

  The simple and unpretentious attack penetration effect can bring the purest and ultimate sense of oppression. This is the ultimate secret of "electronic flow" and the only real trump card of Caesar in the past few years!

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, don't blink, this is the last monster you'll ever see!"

Placing the card on the duel disk, Caesar laughed and said, "Come out, Wagatamashi!!"

"【Electronic Terminator Dragon】!!!"

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】【ATK4000】

  "In the middle of the battle phase!?" Ed was shocked by Caesar's amazing momentum and took a step back subconsciously. What happened? The Caesar in front of him was obviously a newcomer to the professional dueling world, right? Why did he give him the feeling that he was almost the same as a legendary duelist like Jonouchi Katsuya?

"It's out again, [Electronic Terminator Dragon]. But, so what!" Ed said with Caesar's imperial aura, "The current situation is no longer the same as before. Not to mention that my [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] can still easily crush your [Electronic Terminator Dragon] like last time, and now the attack power suppression provided by [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] has reached 1800 points!"

"Even your [Cyber ​​End Dragon] will only have 2200 attack points left in the end!"

[Ryo Marufuji: 1300LP, 1 cards in hand]

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】【ATK4000→2200】

[Chimera Overdrive Dragon][ATK0]

[Ed Phoenix: 1000LP, 6 cards in hand]

[D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man][3700/2100]

[D.heroDystopian] [ATK3600]

However, after hearing what Ed said, Caesar just smiled coldly: "If you can do it, go ahead and try it. But I can tell you in advance the second effect of the [Eternal Electron] I just activated."

"That is, if a Cybertron Machine-Type Fusion Monster on my field is destroyed by a battle effect, I can banish the Eternal Cybertron from my Graveyard instead. In other words, your D-hero Destroyer Phoenix cannot stop me from attacking with Cyber ​​End Dragon!"

"Nani!?"

Ed looked at the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] in surprise and began to quickly calculate in his mind.

The attack power of [Electronic End Dragon] is 2200 points. With [Eternal Electron] as a substitute, it seems that I really can't use the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] to stop its attack. However, if I let it attack, I do have a trick that can make Caesar suffer.

Among the monsters on my field, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] continuously provides attack suppression and cannot leave the field. And because it is in defense position, it may be selected as an attack target because its defense is just below the attack power of [Cyber ​​End Dragon]. In that case, I will also receive 100 points of battle damage due to the effect of [Cyber ​​End Dragon].

However, if he uses the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] to destroy [D·hero Dystopian], he can not only take the opportunity to consume the power of [Eternal Electronics], but also weaken the attack power of [Electronic End Dragon] again due to the increase in the number of [Hero] cards in the graveyard. The sudden change in attack power when it attacks will cause Caesar to suffer 100 points of counter-damage.

"I'm going to use [Electronic End Dragon] to attack [D. Hero Destruction Phoenix Man]——"

As Ed expected, Caesar really chose [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] as the target of attack. He was secretly delighted and was about to activate the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] when he heard Caesar's next words: "At the same time, I declare a chain attack and activate the quick attack magic card [Duel Fusion]!"

"When a Fusion Monster on my field declares an attack to battle with an opponent's monster, the ATK of that monster increases by the ATK of the opponent's monster until the end of the Damage Step!"

Ed stopped operating and looked at the [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] on his field.

  Due to the effects of [D-Tactics] and [D·hero Dagger Man], the attack power of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] increased from the original 2500 points to a full 3700 points. However, the result of his hard work will be lost to [Cyber ​​End Dragon] because of the power of [Duel Fusion]?

2200 attack points plus 3700 points, isn't that 5900 points!? And because of the defense penetration effect of [Cyber ​​End Dragon], I will receive a full 3800 points of battle damage in one go?!

Without even the motivation to use the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man], Ed watched helplessly as the power of [Cyber ​​End Dragon] increased rapidly and rapidly!

Then, Caesar waved his hand and shouted, "Eternal-Evolution-Burst!"

"Uh-ohhhhhh!!!"

[Ed Phoenix: 1000LP→0] (End of this chapter)
