Chapter 1188: Tri-Force Acceleration!
"Ultimate Synchro Form, huh?"
Youxuan smiled slightly, his anticipation growing.
It's finally here.
The legendary Eye of the Mind Unclouded, the ultimate Synchro, Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro. In the original history, before Zone's modifications, this was a new path pioneered by Yusei Fudo. After the timeline shift, Antinomy taught it to Yusei, who then mastered "Beyond Limit Acceleration Synchro" during the final battle.
Youxuan had always been curious if the Acceleration Synchro could only be performed on a D-Wheel. In the 5D's anime, key duels were almost always conducted on D-Wheels, and no one had ever used the Acceleration Synchro in a traditional, standing duel.
In the anime, the Acceleration Synchro always involved the D-Wheel and the duelist becoming one, riding the D-Wheel at speeds exceeding light. A burst of speed would make them reappear, having completed the Synchro Summon. Based on this, it seemed that the Acceleration Synchro might only be possible on a D-Wheel.
But if that were true, Synchro Dimension duelists would be at a significant disadvantage in traditional standing duels against duelists from other dimensions. They wouldn't be able to summon their ace monsters without a D-Wheel, and what if they faced an invasion from a dimension where duelists didn't use D-Wheels? They'd be in big trouble.
So, Youxuan had long wondered if it was possible to perform an Acceleration Synchro by running.
Theoretically, the D-Wheel was just a tool for acceleration. The key to Synchro Summoning was the stardust particles released by the perpetual motion engine inside the D-Wheel. If a small perpetual motion engine were installed in a Duel Disk, could a duelist achieve the speed of light and complete an Acceleration Synchro without a D-Wheel?
But that would make the duelist sound like the Flash.
Youxuan chuckled to himself.
Forget it, no point in overthinking it. Regardless, this was his first time observing a "Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro" in a real duel. He needed to watch carefully and record the data; it might help him develop it further in the future.
Antinomy: "Next, I Special Summon 'Tech Genus Drill Fish' from my hand!"
[Tech Genus Drill Fish, Attack: 100]
"Tech Genus Drill Fish can be Special Summoned from the hand when only 'Tech Genus' monsters are on my field", Antinomy explained.
"Level 1, Tuner monster 'Tech Genus Gear Golem'!
Level 1, 'Tech Genus Drill Fish'!
Tuning!"
[1 + 1 = 2]
"Disable the Level Limiter to Level 2! Open the Regulator! Navigation system, all clear!"
Antinomy raised his arm.
"GO! Synchro Summon! Come ON—
—Tech Genus Delta Dragon!!!"
[Tech Genus Delta Dragon, Attack: 300]
Youxuan: "Two normal Synchro monsters, one Tuner. The preparations are complete. This is truly exciting."
Antinomy: "Ultimate Eye of the Mind Unclouded!"
Though he spoke of clarity, his Tri-Force Hawk was enveloped in a red glow, as if it were burning. The D-Wheel accelerated to its maximum speed, resembling a fiery ball breaking through the sky.
"Disable the Level Limiter to the maximum! Open the Regulator, all clear! Infinite power, break through time and space, and open the unknown world!"
The Tri-Force Hawk's roar reached its peak, and Antinomy seemed to be on fire.
"GO! Tri-Force Acceleration! Come ON—
—Tech Genus Destroyer!!!"
The Tri-Force Hawk accelerated, transforming into a beam of light that vanished from the track. A silver-blue vortex exploded at the geometric center of the galactic data stream. The three Tech Genus monsters, burning like meteors, rotated and collided, releasing energy sparks. In an instant, the dimensional rift was torn apart, and the roar of countless thrusters filled the air. A massive mechanical god with a crimson coating plummeted from the sky, creating a spiral vortex with its shockwave.
The streamlined armor was covered in energy conduits, the visor glowed with quantum blue light, and the metallic crown emitted electrical arcs. The multi-layered composite armor displayed red and black technological patterns, and the elbows occasionally ejected propulsion flames. The giant halberd cannon, made of alloy, had a barrel that extended into a blade of photon energy, leaving a spiral trail in the air with each swing.
Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro, Tech Genus Destroyer, Summoned!
[Tech Genus Destroyer, Attack: 4000]
"Mr. Youxuan, this is my full power, Tech Genus Destroyer!"
Antinomy declared.
"Next, this card!
High-Speed Spell - Final Attack!"
A high-speed spell card appeared in his backfield, and a silver-white energy storm enveloped the halberd cannon.
"Final Attack can only be activated when I have eight or more High-Speed Counters!" Antinomy explained. "Until the end of this turn, one monster on my field has its Attack doubled!
Double the Attack of 'Tech Genus Destroyer'!"
[Tech Genus Destroyer, Attack: 4000 → Attack: 8000]
"Eight thousand Attack?" Youxuan was taken aback. "That's terrifying."
Infernoid Uraby also let out a weak growl, seemingly agreeing with its owner.
Eight thousand is too much, who can handle that?
At this moment, Youxuan confirmed his hypothesis. Indeed, Antinomy had used "D.D. Crow" last turn to maintain a High-Speed Counter. If he hadn't removed the 1000 Attack from the Divine Flame King, Antinomy's High-Speed Counters would have dropped to six last turn, and this turn, they would only have risen to seven.
High-Speed Spell - Final Attack requires at least eight High-Speed Counters to be activated. Without the setup from last turn, the counterattack this turn wouldn't have been possible.
"Go, my full power!"
Antinomy shouted.
"Tech Genus Destroyer, attack 'Infernoid Uraby'!"
The halberd cannon's arm emitted a burst of white vapor, and the energy conduits glowed brightly. The photon blade's swing broke through the critical point, slicing the air into quantum fractures.
The spiral flash tore through space, cutting through the flames spewed by Uraby. The photon blade mercilessly sliced through the Infernoid's body, and the crimson dragon burned as it fell.
The decisive three thousand points of damage were completely nullified by "Soul Barrier", leaving Youxuan's D-Wheel unscathed.
"End Phase, Spear Cannon's Attack Power returns to normal", Antinomy said.
[Tech Genus Destroyer, Attack Power 8000 → Attack 4000]
"My turn is over."
Antinomy let out a long breath.
He had succeeded in defeating the legendary Illusion Demon. The landing of Spear Cannon gave him immense confidence, making him feel that even against a king of Youxuan's caliber, victory was now within his grasp.
The animated version of Spear Cannon had a terrifying suppression power that the real card lacked, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that its appearance could secure half the victory.
In the animation, Spear Cannon's effect could negate and destroy any summoning of monsters, including normal summoning, reverse summoning, special summoning, and even summoning through card effects.
While the real card's effect to negate summoning could only be used once per turn, the animated version had no such restriction. The number of times this effect could be used was limited by the number of synchro materials used when performing a Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro.
This meant that since Antinomy had used three monsters for the Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro, Tech Genus Destroyer could negate up to three summonings of any kind.
With Spear Cannon on the field and the ability to negate three more summonings, how could you possibly turn the tide?
"My turn, draw."
Youxuan said calmly.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Monster Reborn.'
Return all cards in my hand and on the field to the deck, then draw five cards."
All of Youxuan's cards turned to golden light and returned to the deck, which was then shuffled automatically. The top five cards were then drawn back into his hand.
"Tech Genus Destroyer, the power of Tri-Force Acceleration Synchro is indeed impressive. However—"
He gave a mysterious, faint smile.
"—you seem to have underestimated the power of the Illusion Demon."
"What?" Antinomy was taken aback.
Could the Illusion Demon have some unknown ability?
"Infernoid Uraby's final effect", Youxuan explained. "When this card is in the graveyard, you can Special Summon it from the graveyard by sending one Trap Card from your hand to the graveyard."
Antinomy frowned. "I see, it can even resurrect itself actively."
Indeed, this ability further elevated the danger of the Divine Flame Emperor, living up to its legendary status in the world of Duel Monsters.
However—
As Youxuan discarded a card to the graveyard, lava erupted from the ground, and the Divine Flame Emperor showed signs of reviving.
"Right now! I activate Tech Genus Destroyer's effect!"
Antinomy shouted. "Negate and destroy any summoning, special summoning, or reverse summoning of a monster!
I negate the resurrection of the Divine Flame Emperor!"
Spear Cannon swung its massive spear, releasing a powerful energy that instantly sealed the Divine Flame Emperor's coffin, preventing it from moving.
"Too strong, incredibly strong, even the summoning of the Illusion Demon can be negated", Youxuan said.
"I will activate the Divine Flame Emperor's effect again, discard a card from my hand, and Special Summon 'Infernoid Uraby' from the graveyard."
Antinomy's eyes widened in shock.
Now he realized the severity of the situation.
The Divine Flame Emperor could be resurrected by discarding a card from the hand, and this effect had no once-per-turn restriction!
Yes, Spear Cannon's effect could be used multiple times in a turn, but so could the Divine Flame Emperor's.
The limitation for Spear Cannon was the number of synchro materials used, which was three. For the Divine Flame Emperor, it depended on the number of Trap Cards in the controller's hand.
Given Youxuan's calm and composed demeanor, he likely had several Trap Cards in hand.
Indeed, Youxuan had started the duel by covering three Trap Cards, indicating a deck specialized in Infernoid Uraby with a high Trap Card ratio. Even without considering his king-level luck, the probability of drawing multiple Trap Cards was already high.
But Antinomy had no other choice. He gritted his teeth. "I use Tech Genus Destroyer's effect again to negate the resurrection of the Divine Flame Emperor!"
Yes, this was his only option.
To revive Infernoid Uraby, Youxuan had already sent two Trap Cards to the graveyard. Infernoid Uraby's Attack Power increased based on the number of Trap Cards in the graveyard, so its Attack Power was now seven thousand.
Spear Cannon's Attack Power had already dropped back to four thousand, and this attack would end the duel.
Youxuan said, "I activate Infernoid Uraby's effect again, discard a Trap Card from my hand, and Special Summon the Divine Flame Emperor."
Antinomy looked helpless. "I use Tech Genus Destroyer's effect for the third time to negate the summoning of Infernoid Uraby."
But this negation was the last. With this, Tech Genus Destroyer's three summoning negations were all used up.
And as expected, Youxuan revealed another card in his hand.
"I discard another Trap Card from my hand and activate Infernoid Uraby's effect.
Infernoid Uraby is resurrected."
Antinomy was at a loss.
Spear Cannon's full strength was also his full strength, his absolute limit. He had done everything he could, but it wasn't enough. He was now out of options.
Three consecutive summoning negations, but the continuous pressure was merely a prelude to an even more explosive finale, making the final burst a hundred times more devastating.
The immortal red dragon burst forth from the lava, lifting its head and roaring in defiance!
[Infernoid Uraby, Attack Power 9000]
Attack Power nine thousand!
"Battle", Youxuan said. "Infernoid Uraby, attack Tech Genus Destroyer."
A deafening dimensional explosion, with lava churning in the dragon's mouth. The dark red pillar of fire turned to a searing white as it left the dragon's mouth, creating a spiraling vacuum in its wake.
Spear Cannon's armor instantly turned a blinding red, and the layers of energy shields shattered like fragile glass upon contact with the flame pillar. The mechanical giant's body began to peel away under the overwhelming energy, its thrusters melting into molten metal, and the white-hot flames piercing its energy core. Millions of photon elements scattered like dandelion seeds in a storm, turning into shimmering data particles in the explosion.
[Antinomy, LP 1500 → LP 0]
