I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

Including Fujiwara Yusuke, everyone stared with their eyes wide open, afraid to miss the slightest movement of Hoshimi Hitomi.

No wonder the Star King disappeared for five years, and even the huge family business was handed over to his young wife. It turned out that he was researching a new way of summoning!

Just as he said, the world's number one duelist, the world's number one company, and the world's number one family, none of these made him stagnate. He still put all his enthusiasm into the duel monsters he loved deeply, guiding the evolution of the world!

Thinking of this, the teachers and students in the audience looked at Hoshimi Hitomi with a genuine respect and admiration. It's true, he is the Star King who cares about the world!

If XP wasn't so ridiculous...

Hoshimi Hitomi, who didn't know that her reputation had plummeted because of Weir and would never recover, held up the card in her right hand: "Look, this is a new hope! Xyz - Summon!"

"Stack the monsters that serve as Xyz materials in a monster zone, and Xyz summon the Xyz monster from the Extra Deck above the Xyz materials! The Xyz materials are not on the field, but they are not sent to the graveyard either. Instead, they give the Xyz monster power like magic counters."

"Main Phase 1. Stack the three bodies of Lv2 [Ancient Creatures·Maer Trilobite], [Canada Worm], and [Pseudo-Oil Comb Worm]!" In front of everyone, Hoshimi Hitomi waved her hand and overlapped the three cards that originally belonged to Rei in the third position of the Main Monster Zone, "Use 3 monsters to build a Xyz network and Xyz summon!"

In the Monster Zone, three ancient creatures turned into aqua-blue light and rushed straight into the sky. In the sky, the dimensional distortion phenomenon occurs, and the three overlapping universes on the other side can be seen. That is the source of the super network of the ZEXAL universe: the unique power system generated by the overlap of the human world, the astral world, and the Balian world.

Under the traction of the source number, the two universes have become so close that they can influence each other.

Under the attention of everyone, the brilliant light as if the universe was born burst out, and infinite colors burst out and released outward. In the infinite light and shadow, the hard and thorny shell, two giant claws, and the body similar to arthropods appeared one after another.

The blue-green Cambrian overlord, spanning a long time, now about 500 million years later, tells the vicissitudes of time. Three aqua-blue super materials surround it, like a cruising satellite.

"... [Ancient Creature·Anomalocaris]..." It was not Hoshimi Hitomi who said the name of the monster, but Saotome Rei. A trace of curiosity and desire flashed in her brown eyes, and she tentatively reached out her hand towards the hideous ancient overlord.

She touched the cold and hard spikes.

[Ancient Creature·Anomalocaris][Effect][Cyclic]

[Race: Water][Rank-2][Attribute: Water]

[ATK: 2400][DEF: 0]

In order to remove the power of DARKNESS at one time, Hoshimi Hitomi had already adjusted the deck for doubles in advance. Not only did he invest in an extra R2 Cyclic, but Rei also invested in an extra R10 in her deck that could cooperate with Hoshimi Hitomi. Anyway, the extras of "Heavenly Prison Style" are quite loose, so there is no pressure.

"That is...Cyclic Summoning..." Tenjouin Fubuki, Principal Samejima, many teachers and students in the audience, and Marufuji Ryo, who was just a junior high school kid and had not made a name for himself, were all shocked by Hoshimi Hitomi's operation and were speechless. That magnificent and fantastic brilliance... Is that, Cyclic Summoning?

In stark contrast to their attitude, Fujiwara Yusuke no longer tried to hide himself. His body was filled with black energy, and he stared at Hoshimi Hitomi and Saotome Rei beside him with murderous eyes: "Unknown... power..."

The King of Stars must be eradicated!

"【Ancient Creature·Anomalocaris】, effect activated!" Hoshimi Hitomi waved her hand, and the Anomalocaris waved its huge claws, crushing a water-blue Xyz material flying around it.

"If this card has a trap card as an Xyz material, once per turn, remove 1 Xyz material from itself, and activate it by targeting 1 card on the field. Destroy that card. Fujiwara Yusuke... Heh, let's call it that for now. Destroy the cover card on your backfield."

According to Hoshimi Hitomi's order, the huge Anomalocaris soared into the air and slammed heavily on the covered card. The thorny shell was a wonderful weapon for both offense and defense under the blessing of gravity, and it easily tore the card into pieces. And that card is——

... Explosive Armor. This joke is not going to work, right? It's hard not to sweat.

"... Hum." Fujiwara Yusuke snorted coldly, watching his card being destroyed and sent to the graveyard, without any special reaction. He knew that Fujiwara Yusuke's original deck had a trap card called [Provoke Snakes], which could be activated after being sent to the graveyard by the opponent. But he... Mr. T thought it was useless and kicked it out of the deck. Unfortunately, if that card was covered at this time, it would give the Star King a big surprise.

Until now, Mr. T still has an indifferent attitude. In his opinion, after the team rules, the LP of both sides is as high as 16,000, so it is impossible for someone to kill them in one round, right?

"My turn is still to go on. Cover the Magic Trap Area with a card and activate it." Hoshimi Hitomi performed a strange operation, as if her hand was shaking when she wanted to activate the card, and she accidentally clicked the cover, and then activated it in the Magic Trap Area. "Continuous magic, [Cursed Golden Kingdom]."

At the moment when the card was revealed, viscous liquid gold gushed out from the ground like a geyser. The hot and fluid gold quickly deformed and solidified. Walls, gates, sculptures, main buildings... In just a few seconds, a gorgeous city made entirely of gold stood up, exuding a seductive and ominous atmosphere.

"This operation is... and the so-called 'Extreme Summoning'... Could it be!?" Samejima's eyes widened suddenly. He had guessed the meaning of Hoshimi Hitomi's seemingly useless operation.

"Because the set magic and trap card was activated, the [King of the Heavenly Prison] in the hand card was Special Summoned in Attack Position." Hoshimi Hitomi calmly slapped the card in her hand on the monster area. In the roaring tremor, the second alien giant towering like a mountain range emerged, and stood on both sides of Rei's left and right, like a door god.

"Well, the second one..." Fujiwara Yusuke's face remained unchanged. He also had [Dark Prototype] in inside defense position on the field that could be used as a shield. Moreover, after the [Dark Prototype] is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, he can also Special Summon a monster from the deck with the same attack power as the battle damage he received that time.

The monster attacks the [Dark Prototype] in defense position, and the battle damage caused to him is 0. Therefore, he can Special Summon a monster with 0 attack power from the deck. As the saying goes, "those with 0 attack power are monsters", and then it will definitely bring a huge surprise to the King of Stars.

Looking at the faint smile on Fujiwara Yusuke's face, Hoshimi Hitomi couldn't help but frowned. That smile... is a bit annoying.

"[Cursed Golden Country], effect activated. Cards with the same name can be used once per turn. Pay 800 LP to activate. Add 1 [Gold Country Lich] monster or 1 [Gold Country] Spell/Trap Card from your deck to your hand. I add the monster card [Golden Lord Golden Country Lich] to my hand."

[Hoshimi Hitomi \u0026 Rei LP: 16000→15200]

Hoshimi Hitomi himself didn't feel anything, but Saotome Rei beside him was instantly depressed. He glanced at Fujiwara Yusuke across from him, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Dark Yugi, is that so?

It's really hard for you to come and die by yourself.

"It is indeed a very powerful search ability, one card can mobilize two fields. However, as long as that continuous magic exists, the user cannot declare an attack without using an Undead monster... [Ancient Creature·Anomalocaris] and the two [Heavenly Prison Kings] can't attack..." Tenjouin Fubuki muttered, completely out of the situation. He hadn't had time to see the effect of the little golden man, otherwise he would never have said such a thing.

"【Golden Lord Golden Lich】, effect activated. Cards with the same name can be used once per turn. Send this card and 1 Magic/Trap Card from your hand to the Graveyard, and you can activate it by targeting 1 card on the field. Send that card to the Graveyard. I send the little golden man and the continuous trap card, 【Conqueror of the Golden Country】 to the Graveyard, and target the face-down 【Dark Prototype】. Send it to the Graveyard."

Hoshimi Hitomi waved her hand lightly. In the golden hall, the King of the Golden Country, sitting on the golden toilet, grabbed the foreign invader zombie beside him, and injected the power of the Philosopher's Stone into it, causing its seven orifices to bloom with dazzling golden light.

Then, the zombie ran at an astonishing speed, rushed out of the golden city, and pounced on the covered card. In Fujiwara Yusuke's twisted pupils, the zombie's whole body was shining with golden light -

Even the face-down card turned into pure gold!

—————————————————————————————————————————

This hand of cards was played a little slowly, because in addition to the game itself, there were many off-field trivialities to deal with.

Forgive me, I can't do anything (

Chapter 244 12 The Undead are annoyed by self-discipline

"In this way, your field will be blank." Hoshimi Hitomi's eyes were cold and her tone was indifferent.

"...But, because of your own continuous magic [Cursed Golden Kingdom], King of Stars, your [Ancient Creature·Anomalocaris] and two [King of Heavenly Prison] cannot attack. Giggle giggle giggle giggle——"

Like a puppet, Fujiwara Yusuke's face was distorted, his joints were pulled out, and he let out a chilling laugh, attracting everyone's attention.

Well, many professional duelists are even weirder and more terrifying than him when they are having a good time playing cards. As we all know, Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and Katsuya Jonouchi all have terrifying facial expressions, but Hitomi Hoshimi is one of the few who has no emotional fluctuations or facial expression changes from beginning to end. Therefore, the teachers and students just thought it was a quirk of Fujiwara Yusuke who was too excited, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Well, except for his teammate Tenjouin Fubuki. He looked at his friend who was beginning to become a stranger, with a strange expression.

"Hehe, if you think that this kind of self-restraint that can only take effect when present can stop the offensive, you are too naive. The [Golden Lord Golden Country Lich] in the cemetery, the effect is activated." Hitomi Hoshimi waved his hand, and the golden country behind him quickly liquefied from solid to form a raging golden tsunami. In the center of the golden sea, a huge vortex formed, pushing out an extremely gorgeous coffin inlaid with scarlet jewels, and a coquettish atmosphere filled the air.

"Same name card once per turn. If this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate it by sending 1 Spell/Trap Card on your field to the Graveyard. Add this card to your hand. After that, you can Special Summon 1 Undead monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect increases its ATK/DEF by 1000 until the end of your opponent's turn, and cannot be destroyed by effects."

With a grim look, he put the card ejected from the Graveyard back into his hand, and then slapped it directly into the Monster Zone: "The card I sent to the Graveyard as a cost is naturally [Cursed Golden Kingdom]. And the Undead I want to Special Summon is naturally the one I just collected in my hand-"

"[Golden Lord Golden Kingdom Lich]."

In the center of the Golden Sea whirlpool, the gorgeous and charming coffin slowly opened. From it, the sleeping Undead King opened his four scarlet eyes, rejected the call of the God of Death for countless times, and returned to the world from eternal sleep. The Philosopher's Stone embedded in his chest glowed scarlet.

[Golden Lord, Golden Country Lich] [Effect] (Golden Man effect in effect)

[Race: Undead] [Lv10] [Attribute: Light]

[ATK: 2500→3500] [DEF: 2800→3800]

"Light attribute... Undead monster!" All the teachers and students in the school couldn't help but stare in surprise. This combination... is too weird! In their minds, undead monsters should be covered in rotten flesh, ferocious and hideous, with dark attributes as the main race. They don't know that undead monsters have kings, superheroes, dragons, and even wives, and serious zombies are actually a minority.

"But... isn't it a bit of a loss to exchange two cards for a pure hitter with 3500 RBI?"

"Use your brain, ① effect takes the target and sends it to the graveyard, ② effect resurrects from the graveyard, 3500 RBI, can't be destroyed by effects, isn't this Phoenix Man Wild Daddy?"

"And it can also deal with stickers that are stuck on its own field... I have no doubt that in the Star King's deck, skill extraction, Thousands of Divides, Command, Void Space and other netherworld stickers are definitely invested. Add to that the [King of Heavenly Prison]... Hiss, it's killing me..."

The teachers and students in the audience chattered, and the sound was so loud that Fujiwara Yusuke and Amajōin Fubuki could hear it clearly, and their faces began to look ugly.

Hoshimi Hitomi's hand card, there is still a stack... There is no netherworld sticker in it, they don't believe it.

"The effect of [Cursed Golden Country] sent to the Graveyard is activated. Once per turn, this card can only be activated when it is sent from the Magic \u0026 Trap Zone to the Graveyard. Send 1 [Gold Country Lich] monster or 1 [Golden Country] Magic \u0026 Trap Card from your deck to the Graveyard. I send the Continuous Trap [Golden Country Graverobber] to the Graveyard."

After the effect was processed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his right hand high: "Stack [Heavenly Prison King] and [Golden Lord], both Lv10! Use 2 monsters to build a Xyz network and Xyz Summon!"

"Use monsters with 3000 and 3500 attack power respectively to perform Xyz Summon!?" Fujiwara Yusuke showed surprise on his face. What kind of monster is it that deserves such a high appearance fee?

From the dazzling Milky Way, the distant sound of the whistle echoed in the wilderness. The roar of steel overwhelmed the thunder in the sky. The man-made weapon that was eliminated by the times showed its shape from the other side of the fantasy, turning into a raging wave, turning into thunder, and smashing everything in front.

That magnificent figure, huge gun barrel, and dark muzzle are like a moving fortress.

"RANK-10! [Super Heavy Turret Train Gustav Max Cannon]!" Hoshimi Hitomi clenched her right hand into a fist and swung it fiercely in the direction of Fujiwara Yusuke, "Effect, activate! Once per turn, remove 1 Xyz material from this card to activate. Inflict 2000 damage to the opponent. Gustav MAX Cannon!"

Hoshimi Hitomi's order was perfectly executed. An Xyz material was poured and charged from the muzzle that shot straight into the sky. The muzzle of the train gun then adjusted its direction and roughly aimed at Fujiwara Yusuke on the opposite side - there was no need for particularly precise aiming, a general direction was enough.

All that was left was - fire!

The dazzling light illuminated everything, followed by a violent roar that almost deafened people. Under the dark game started by Mr. T and the murderous intent in Hoshimi Hitomi's heart, what splashed out from the muzzle was not something as gentle as a virtual image - but a real, physical shell that was enough to penetrate a battleship.

【Fujiwara Yusuke \u0026 Fubuki LP: 16000→14000】

"Well, this, this is... Fujiwara..." Fubuki, who was almost blown away by the strong wind, looked at the messy pit beside her, and her eyes widened in disbelief. What is this... What happened! ? Is the LV viewfinder broken! ? This kind of impact force should only be used by those with high authority! ?

Hoshimi Hitomi... Was it Hoshimi Hitomi who did it? But why...

"Huh... It seems that you have been discovered a long time ago, King of Stars." Before he could react, the dark mist condensed. What appeared in his surprised eyes was not the familiar Fujiwara Yusuke, but a man with a hedgehog head, black sunglasses, wearing a weird leather jacket, and exuding a disgusting atmosphere - Mr. T.

At this moment, the apostle of DARKNESS was filled with black energy, and his condition was obviously very bad. He said in a vicious tone: "But, don't think it's over, King of Stars. The apostle and I will share our personalities and memories, and when I return to the darkness, about you The information will be known to us. Next time, don’t think you will be so lucky——”

"Ha, you think you are the only one with special powers, right?" Hoshimi Hitomi sneered, the source of light flashing in his eyes, "I will have fun with DARKNESS. But before that, I can't let you, this rat, get bad. thing."

"How is that possible!? You are not a human -"

"Use RANK-10's Gustav's largest cannon to rebuild the hyper-capacity network! Rank-Up-XYZ-Change!"

Roaring sand and dust enveloped the steel city, and thunderous explosions were heard from within. The sandstorm spread exponentially and turned into a storm that swept across the sky. Then, the distant and vast sound of the whistle echoed under the sky, and the majestic war machine that once again increased in size was revealed. It is about a hundred meters high, and its length and width cannot be measured with the naked eye. The mechanical monster that can serve as the first level BOSS in the traditional aircraft barrage game, obeys the call of Hitomi Hoshimi, and shows its prominence in this online world.

"RANK-11. [Super-heavy turret train, huge love]." While everyone was shocked and speechless, Hoshimi Hitomi read out the name of his beloved dump truck in a calm tone.

[Super heavy turret train Skybreaking Love] [Effect] [Excessive]

[Race: Machine] [RANK-10] [Attribute: Earth]

[ATK: 4000] [DEF: 4000]

"Once per turn, this card can also be super-summoned by overlapping a RANK-10 Machine-type Xyz monster on your field. This is an upgraded Xyz Summon."

"It's actually... an upgraded super summon!?" Before he could get over the shock of his teammates suddenly turning into living beings, he was shuddering under the majestic momentum of the sky-breaking love.

Trembling, there was a hint of trembling mixed with excitement and fear in Fubuki Tenjoin's tone, "Have you developed a further evolution of super summoning, King of Stars?"
