Chapter 1180: Riding Duel
Chapter 1180: Riding Duel
"Top-tier Duelist? I wouldn’t dare to claim that."
You Xuan waved his hand and smiled.
"I’m just a Duelist who’s had a bit of luck and moved a little faster. In my dimension, I’m far from the strongest. There are Duelists even more powerful than me."
Antinomy’s eyes flickered.
Already a Duel King, yet he still considers himself not the strongest.
So, in the dimension this person comes from, there are even more Duel Kings?
What a terrifying dimension.
Antinomy suddenly felt a bit sad. If the future timeline he came from also had so many powerful Duel Kings, could the destruction of the future have been avoided?
The Zone’s voice sounded again, "Then, let’s begin."
As the words faded, the space within the Pure White Field transformed once more. Transparent ripples spread through the void, reaching the very ends of this world.
The background began to change. The ceiling and floor disappeared, as if the boundaries of heaven and earth had been lifted. An Infinite Circuit stretched from one horizon to the other, spiraling through the infinite sky, ultimately forming the symbol "∞."
You Xuan and Antinomy now stood on this circuit, and two D-Wheels materialized before them.
One was the Trihawk, the futuristic D-Wheel with a spear-like front, Antinomy’s iconic vehicle.
The other was the same model as Paradox’s D-Wheel, identical to the one You Xuan had used to travel to this dimension.
You Xuan raised an eyebrow, "A Riding Duel?"
"Exactly."
Antinomy had already mounted his Trihawk.
"The ultimate form of Dueling after evolution, and a symbol closely tied to Synchro Summoning. Can you accept my challenge, King from another world?"
Both knew their disguises were false. You Xuan no longer needed to maintain the guise of Godwin and had returned to his original form.
He smiled and said, "The title of King doesn’t sound good. My name is Tengmu You Xuan, but just call me You Xuan."
You Xuan paused, "I’m not very good at Riding Duels, but I can give it a try. Let’s do this."
He spoke the truth. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, there were no rules for Riding Duels, and the Decks he was familiar with weren’t designed for such duels. The restriction on using regular Magic Cards significantly impacted many Decks, and the Speed Spells, which were exclusive to the anime, were something he had studied after coming to this dimension, but he couldn’t use them as smoothly as the locals.
So, he usually avoided Riding Duels whenever possible.
But this was a chance to spar with Antinomy, a future D-Wheel expert. It would be interesting to see how he fared against such a skilled opponent, even if it meant giving him the home-field advantage.
Both D-Wheels started, and the Duel mode activated. The Field Magic "Speed World" triggered automatically, and the countdown to the start appeared on their D-Wheel screens.
"Riding Duel, accelerate!" x2
[You Xuan, LP 4000]
[Antinomy, LP 4000]
The D-Wheels launched simultaneously, dashing forward like arrows released from a bow.
According to the rules of the Riding Duel, whoever reaches the first turn first gains the initiative.
You Xuan’s speed wasn’t slow, but he was out of practice. His only technique was to floor the gas, relying on his extraordinary physical strength and reflexes.
Antinomy, on the other hand, was a different story. In life, he was a top-tier D-Wheel rider in the future world, and even as a robot with a replicated consciousness, he retained all the skills of his original self. In the entire 5DS series, if there were a competition for driving skills, this person would undoubtedly be the best.
The Trihawk streaked out of the first turn, trailing a plume of flames, and Antinomy predictably took the first move.
"Allow me to go first! My turn, draw!"
Antinomy drew, and both players' Speed Counters reset to one.
"I Normal Summon 'Tech Genus Acceleration Dragon'!"
Antinomy placed the monster card on his Duel Disk, and a small dragon with a launch track on its head appeared beside his D-Wheel. The track's top was adorned with sharp, menacing horns.
[Tech Genus Acceleration Dragon, Attack Power 900]
"The Acceleration Dragon's effect: once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level 3 or lower 'Tech Genus' Tuner from my hand!"
The Tech Genus monsters, while appearing in the anime, were never fully cardified, leading to significant differences between their anime and real card effects.
For example, the Acceleration Dragon was strengthened in its real card form, allowing it to Special Summon any Level 3 or lower Tuner from the hand, regardless of the field. In the anime, it could only summon 'Tech Genus' monsters, making the real card more versatile.
"Special Summon 'Tech Genus Jet Falcon' from my hand!"
A second vortex opened, and a black falcon spread its wings, circling twice before flying alongside the Trihawk.
[Tech Genus Jet Falcon, Attack Power 1400]
"Level 3, Tuner 'Tech Genus Jet Falcon'!
Level 2, 'Tech Genus Acceleration Dragon'!
Tuning!"
[3 + 2 = 5]
Data streams flashed across Antinomy's red visor, and a tuning halo appeared beside the Trihawk, resembling a starlit path stretching to the end of the world.
"Unlock Level 5, adjust regulators, warm up the thrusters, OK! Clear the launch path! GO! Synchro Summon!
Come ON—
—Tech Genus Hyper Librarian!"
The synchro stars burst open, and a white cloak billowed elegantly against the boundless background. The Librarian held a thick book, wore a tall hat, and was dressed in a white robe, exuding a refined and composed demeanor.
[Tech Genus Hyper Librarian, Attack Power 2400]
"There he is, the legendary Librarian", You Xuan licked his lips.
Antinomy paused, confused. "What?"
"Oh, nothing, go on", You Xuan smiled.
The Librarian was a super-cheat from the Synchro era, making multiple appearances on the Forbidden/Limited List. It was no exaggeration to say that it was once the strongest draw engine in the Synchro era.
The Librarian's effect was simple and brutal: whenever a Synchro Summon occurred on the field, the player could draw one card.
Back in the day, decks like the "Junk Twin" built on Yusei's foundation could easily perform 20 to 30 Synchro Summons in a single turn, drawing cards for minutes at a time. The more they played, the more resources they accumulated in their hand and graveyard, and it wasn't uncommon to draw through the entire deck in a single turn.
Antinomy found You Xuan's reaction strange but didn't press further, waving his hand. "At this moment, the effect of 'Tech Genus Jet Falcon'!
When this card is sent to the graveyard as a Synchro Material, inflict 500 points of damage to the opponent!"
