Chapter 368: The Strength of the Destiny Hero Is 1000 Times that of the Elemental Hero!
In the original timeline, Ed Phoenix used a variety of different decks as a professional duelist. Under this premise, he was still able to show considerable strength and was promoted to the top 10 of professional duelists.
However, because the environment of this world was completely changed by someone six years ago, the dinosaur Ryuzaki, who should have retired from the duel monster world with a certain insect bastard, is still active, the decadent thief Keith has recovered, and Jonouchi and Peacock Dance show off their love on the stage of the world championship every year.
In the professional duel world with serious internal competition, if you don't want to be eliminated, everyone has to use all their tricks and methods. There is no room for people to hide their shortcomings, and Ed Phoenix is the same.
Even so, if he hadn't been "too lucky" last year to catch up with the legendary duelists collectively not participating in the competition, and Maeda Kumazo, who had long been above him, just gave up participating in the competition because of his son's affairs and went to the Duel Academy, he would probably still have a hard time winning last year.
Since the Professional Duel World Championship was held in 2001, the 2005 champion with the lowest gold content, Ed Phoenix, did not continue to play with the card pile to cover up his strength, but directly took out his real card group at the beginning of the duel!
"I will pay half of my basic points to activate this card." Drawing a card to show it to Caesar, Ed shouted, "Usually a magic card, [Hero Arrival]!"
"It's actually a hero deck!?"
Caesar saw the card Ed played and showed a shocked expression. However, Ed frowned when he saw the expression on his face: "Can you act more fake?"
It's not Ed's fault that he said that. Although the lines Caesar shouted seemed quite shocked, his expression did not change at all, and even his eyes revealed the feeling of "I knew it would be such a start."
There is no way. Someone who doesn't want to admit that he is Hayato Kobayashi has told Caesar that Ed's real deck is [D·hero] which is closely related to [E·hero]. If he didn't know, he might be a little surprised to meet a [Hero] deck user again, but now, it is difficult for him to be surprised by the appearance of [Hero Arrival].
"I'm just giving you some positive feedback. If you don't need it, I won't bother pretending."
"Although you're new to the professional duel world, the agency behind you is pretty good at collecting intelligence." Not knowing where Caesar got his information from, Ed thought his agent told Caesar after an investigation, so he didn't pay much attention to it. "If there are no face-up monsters on my field, pay half of my basic points to activate [Hero Arrival]."
"Special Summon a Level 4☆ or lower [E·hero] monster from my deck!"
[Ed: 4000→2000LP, 5 cards in hand]
"Before I graduated from school, my opponents were all using [E·hero] monsters, but now... After graduating from school, the opponent I met still used [E·hero]. How come I feel like I graduated in vain? "Talking to himself like Captain Jia, Caesar glanced at Ed's deck, "In other words, the monster you want to special summon should be——"
"Do you have some knowledge about the [E·hero] deck? Compared to me who has not fought against the powerful "Electronic Flow" duelist, you have a certain intelligence advantage." Ed had met other duelists who had practiced "Electronic Flow" before, but at most they could only take out some [Electronic Ogres], and it was considered good to be able to use [Electronic Dragon]. Few of them could take out [Electronic End Dragon], and there was almost no reference value for estimating the duel with Caesar.
After receiving the card retrieved from the duel disk, Ed placed the monster card on the duel disk: "That's right! The monster I want to special summon is this one--"
"--[E·hero Bubble Man]!" "--[E·hero Sky Man]!"
However, after Ed put the card down, he and Caesar said two completely different card names, which made both of them stunned.
".Huh?" ".Huh?"
"Hey, what's that expression on your face? Why do you think I will special summon [E·hero Bubble Man]?" Ed looked at Caesar with a look of surprise, and was also a little puzzled, "Wait a minute, you don't think that the effect of [E·hero Bubble Man] has no restrictions on activation, and you can draw two cards when you special summon it?"
"When there is only one card [E·hero Bubble Man] in my hand and on the field, his effect of drawing two cards can be activated. You students in the duel academy don't even understand this effect. Chu, you are already a strong man that can be recognized by outstanding graduates?"
As he was talking, Caesar didn't say anything, and Ed got angry, "It's really not good. You are obviously an academic school, but you are only at this level. How can you be a student of the Duel Academy? You are simply wasting the youth of the Duel King."
"When [E·hero Skyman] is successfully summoned or special summoned, choose one of his effects to activate. I choose to add a [Hero] monster from my deck to my hand! "
[E·hero Skyman] [ATK1800]
Seeing that Ed had begun to unfold, Caesar also realized that he seemed to have gotten used to it because he played cards with Judai so many times, and had forgotten that Judai's [E·hero Bubble Man] was It is different from the vast majority of [E·hero Foam Man] on the market.
Although it is also possible to special summon itself when there is only one card in the hand, the second effect of Judai's [E·hero Bubble Man] - that is, it is the draw that earned Hayabusa the nickname "Gand Man". Card ability - the activation condition is just "there are no other cards on the field except this card", and does not require hand cards, so Judai often uses [Hero Arrival] to specially summon [E·hero Bubble Man] when starting his hand. 】To earn cards.
But for the ordinary version of [E·hero Bubble Man] circulating in the market in Ed's hand, special summoning [E·hero Bubble Man] when there are cards in the hand cannot activate the effect at all, which is far inferior to being able to It is very useful to accurately search for a specified [Hero] monster's [E·hero Skyman].
And Caesar also noticed that it turned out that the foreshadowing had already been laid. The effect of [E·hero Skyman] always said that it was to retrieve the [Hero] monster instead of the [E·hero] it belonged to. If it were not for the information learned in advance, Knowing the existence of [D·hero], I probably wouldn’t think of [D·hero] that also belongs to the category of [Hero].
However, although he does not know whether what Ed wants to retrieve from the deck is [D·hero] or [E·hero], Caesar knows one thing, that is, as long as the opponent does not get what he wants in a duel, he will basically not make a mistake, and Not all cards, like his [Electronic Emergency Call], have secondary effects that take effect after being invalidated.
Caesar, who was very aware of the effect of [E·hero Skyman], saw that he was about to take action, and immediately played a card in his hand and said: "The effect of the chain [E·hero Skyman] is activated, I want to start from my Activate this trap card directly from your hand!"
"Huh?! A trap card that is activated directly from the hand!?" Ed was a little surprised when he saw Caesar inserting the card into the magic trap area, and when he saw that the duel disk successfully recognized and approved the activation of that card.
"Although most trap cards need to be set for one turn before being activated, just like the famous [Red Restart] held by the Duel King, it can be activated directly from the hand by paying half of the base points. My This card can also be activated directly from your hand if the conditions are met."
Caesar glanced at the card he activated, "The conditions for this card are that I have no cards on the field. Of course, the conditions for its activation are met at this moment."
"Normally the trap card [Infinite Bubble], this is the end of 'eternity' that the 'electron flow' leads to, and the moment when 'infinity' collapses into 'bubbles'. The effect is to represent one face-up card on the opponent's field. It can be activated only when it is targeted by a monster, and the effect of that monster is immediately negated at the end of the turn!”
A phantom of an electronic dragon that Caesar had never seen appeared behind him. The nuclear furnace with maximum power was located in the center of its body. What was different from the ordinary [Electronic Dragon] was that it had been loaded with a trinity of [Electronic Termination Dragons] behind it. 】The mechanical wings that can only be mastered by terminals of that level, the slender tail even coils into "∞" representing infinity.
However, even if it is just a phantom, Caesar can see that its condition is not very good. It seems that it has improved its performance to the limit. Instead, it has been counterattacked by its own powerful power. The armor on its body is in pieces, and the dragon wings behind it are also in pieces. , even uncontrolled energy continued to overflow and turned into a storm of electric current splashing everywhere, destroying the surroundings.
Under the influence of this thunderstorm, [E·hero Skyman] didn't even have time to lift his feet off the ground. The pair of metal flying wings behind him diverted a considerable amount of the current and chopped him up. Although It wouldn't be destroyed like that, but the flying wings were also damaged and could no longer activate its effect.
Seeing that his [E·hero Skyman] had its effect invalidated, Ed was a little unhappy that his 2,000 basic points were wasted, but he still seized the opportunity to target [Infinite Bubble] when it was activated. Sight and use "trash talk" tactics against Caesar.
"Is that also the card of [Electronic Dragon]? Continuous efforts and progress have resulted in nothing. It looks really miserable. It's like your 'destiny' was defeated by me."
(Not only did parts fall out, but they also decomposed. Cyber Dragon Mugenzhin literally turned into nothing and died quite completely)
However, Ed's trash talk could not affect Caesar at all. Seeing the strange [Electronic Dragon] that appeared in [Infinite Bubble] completely disintegrate and dissipate into countless parts, and those parts also turned into blue light spots floating away, Caesar instead revealed A satisfied smile.
"Oh, really? A fool who is obsessed with 'fate' can only see the same thing as his own decadent and cowardly mentality." Caesar sneered and sent the used [Infinite Bubble] to the cemetery, "What you see Yes, it is a 'bubble', but I have confirmed the existence of 'infinity'!"
"Even if it's just for a moment, but..."
Caesar did not continue to talk, and Ed was not interested in "infinity" or "eternity". He frowned and played another card and said: "In that case, I activate the normal magic card [Reinforcement]. This card can add a level 4☆ or lower Warrior-type monster in my deck to my hand."
"The card I chose is this one, the level 4☆ [D·hero Drillman]."
Although he failed to complete the search with [E·hero Skyman], Ed had a backup method after it was invalidated. He added a card from the deck to his hand and immediately played it: "Next, I use this turn's Normal Summon-"
"Normal Summon this [D·hero Drillman] that I just added to my hand in Attack Position!"
In addition to the bionic muscles that enhance strength, it is a close-fitting armor made of tough stratum corneum. Unlike the tenth generation's [E·hero] that fully demonstrates the corresponding natural elements, the card called [D·hero] played by Ed has a somewhat dark temperament.
Not only is his right arm completely replaced by a drill from the wrist, but all five fingers of [D·hero Drill Man]'s left hand are also sharp drills, and there are drills of different sizes all over his body. Rather than a hero who upholds justice, he gives people the feeling of a combat weapon born for revenge.
"Is this [D·hero]?" Caesar looked at the data panel displayed next to [D·hero Drill Man].
[D·hero Drillman] [4☆/Dark]
[Warrior/Effect]
[1600/1200]
"Yes, unlike monsters like [E·hero Skyman] that represent 'elements', as a [Hero], [D·hero] is a hero of destiny that carries a heavy fate." Ed's expression was serious and solemn, "Compared to those light and unreal [E·hero], [D·hero] is naturally much stronger than [E·hero] because of the heaviness of that fate."
"[D·hero] is the strongest [Hero]! Whether it's power or effect, it's 1000% of [E·hero]!"
"Before you say that, play [E·hero Skyman] in your deck first." Hearing Ed's declaration, Caesar was unmoved and even had the luxury of teasing Ed's [E·hero Skyman] on the field.
"Hmph, don't believe it? Then don't blink and watch! This is the power of [D·hero]!" Waving his hand, Ed said, "Only when [D·hero Drillman] is successfully summoned or special summoned can its first effect be activated - from my hand, special summon a [D·hero] monster with an attack power less than [D·hero Drillman]!"
"[D·hero Drillman] has an attack power of 1600 points. The monster I want to special summon from my hand is this one, with an attack power of 1ro Gun Drawman!"
Next to [D·hero Drillman], a purple-haired man wearing a decorative suit and a gentleman's hat walked out slowly with his head down, his hands in the pockets of his white trousers, the dark purple scarf around his neck hanging down behind him, and a red tie on his chest. If he didn't appear on Ed's field, many people would probably believe that he was an office worker who was called back to work halfway through a cosplay exhibition.
[D·Hero Gunner] [4☆/Dark]
[Warrior/Effect]
[1600/800]
"When [D·Hero Gunner] is successfully Special Summoned by the effect of a [Hero] monster, activate its first effect. Each of you draws a card from your deck during the Duel."
Did draw a card from his deck with Caesar and looked at the card he drew. Ed couldn't help laughing: "Heh, it seems that 'fate' is on my side, 'Caesar'. My trump monster, It's already in my hand!"
"Liberate the three monsters on my field - [D·hero Gunner], [D·hero Drillman], and [E·hero Skyman] as sacrifices and send them to the graveyard. The blood of the sacrifices will become the altar of the end of fate and awaken the ultimate [D·hero]!"
"Special Summon, Level 8☆! Come, my trump card, my ultimate 'D'!"
As if summoning a god, he offered three sacrifices. A pool of blood began to spread under Ed's feet, swallowing up all the monsters on his field. In the pool of blood, a humanoid monster wearing blood-colored dragon bone armor gradually rose, and an ominous breath swept the field. However, Ed only felt a special warmth on the blood-bathed monster that seemed bloody and terrifying to others. It was a kind of peace of mind similar to that of a father.
