Chapter 1516: Converging Wishes
“Trap Card ‘Cosmic Blast’!”
Yuei Vu flipped in the backfield and revealed his strongest killer weapon!
“When a Dragon-type Synchro Monster I control leaves the field, inflict damage equal to that monster’s ATK to the opponent!”
This was one of Brother Crabhead’s favorite traps in the early stage of the animation, and he always used it with Stardust Dragon. Even in the first battle with his future wife Izayoi Akira, Brother Crabhead relied on this card to win the final victory.
But in fact, this effect was compatible not only with Stardust Dragon, but also with other Stardust monsters.
Most of the monsters in the Stardust series had the ability to Tribute to banish themselves, and then negate a certain effect. Instantly chained “Cosmic Blast” could inflict a lot of damage in one go.
For example, like now.
The attack power of Cosmic Blazar was 4,000. With the effect of “Cosmic Blast”, it would undoubtedly complete an OTK!
The light of stardust condensed in the air, and the Cosmic Blazar Dragon that had already left the field reappeared as a translucent phantom, piercing towards Z-ONE like a silver meteor!
“The combination of Cosmic Blast and Cosmic Blazar, an OTK combo!!!” The airplane head commentator shouted, “The game has come to a crucial moment!Will this be the blow that determines the outcome of the Duel King? Or…”
“Open the set card: Trap Card – Drop Frame Wedge!” Z-ONE said, “If the opponent activates a card or effect that would inflict damage: Send 1 card from my hand to the GY, and if you do, halve that damage.
I halve the damage from the Trap Card ‘Cosmic Blast’.” (Animation card)
Invisible energy gathered and condensed into a transparent shield in front of the god Z-ONE. The energy shells transformed by the phantom of Cosmic Blazar broke through the shield, and after being buffered, they blasted through the life support device of Z-ONE.
Z-ONE’s mechanical device fell down while turning, barely stabilizing the fuselage, and then it was pulled up again.
【Z-ONE, LP 4000 → LP 2000】
“Half the damage was blocked!” the commentator said, “Although it was very dangerous, Z-ONE still managed to resolve this fatal blow…”
But Yuei Vu was not done yet, and the Cosmic Blazar Dragon’s exit was just the beginning.
“By the effect of ‘Temples of the King’, the trap I set on the field can be activated during the covered turn!” Yuei Vu raised his hand, “So I opened the set card: Trap Card –
– Converging Wishes!!!”
Z-ONE: “!?”
Z-ONE, who had always remained absolutely calm no matter what the situation was, was really shocked this time.
He remembered this card again.
In countless reincarnations and countless timelines, there was a time and space where he traveled through time and space to the past and tried to destroy Neo Domino, but was finally defeated in an aerial battle with the savior Yusei Fudo.
At the same time, it was that battle that rekindled his hope for the past duelists and the future of Synchro.
In that duel, the first card Yusei printed was the “Shooting Quasar Dragon”, a Limit Over Accel Synchro Monster. It was known as the Timelord Killer and the lifelong enemy of Z-ONE.
And at the very end of that duel, the fake card that Yusei printed on the spot to truly kill Z-ONE and decide the outcome with one strike was the trap that Yuei Vu activated at this time.
“This card can only be activated when there are five or more types of Dragon Synchro Monsters in my graveyard. Special Summon a ‘Stardust Dragon’ from my Extra Deck!”
“Is there still another ‘Stardust Dragon’?” Z-ONE said in a deep voice.
So far, two Stardust Dragons have appeared in this game.
The first one was Yusei’s Stardust Dragon, and the second one was Yuei Vu’s Stardust Dragon. Now both dragons were sleeping in Yuei Vu’s graveyard.
And Yuei Vu seemed to have a third one in his hand!
“Let the gathered wishes turn into a new star of hope, and into a shining road! Fly —
— Stardust Dragon!!!”
The stardust light fell all over the sky, and the silver-white dragon flew out in the unparalleled light!
Yusei’s first and last trump card, the leader of the dragon sealers, the Stardust Dragon!
[Stardust Dragon, ATK 2500]
“After summoning Stardust Dragon through this effect, ‘Converging Wishes’ can be equipped to Stardust Dragon!” Yuei Vu said, “The ATK of the equipped monster will increase the total ATK of all Dragon Synchro Monsters in my graveyard!”
“Nana Nana Nani!?” The commentator was shocked in advance, “All the Dragon Synchro Monsters in the graveyard since the duel, that means…”
Light spots flew out from the graveyard one after another, transforming into powerful dragon images that appeared above Yuei Vu’s head.
Two Stardust Dragons, Shooting Star Dragon, Shooting Majestic Star Dragon, Stardust Spark Dragon, Majestic Star Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon…
[Stardust Dragon, ATK 2500 → ATK 5000 → ATK 7500 → ATK 10800 →… → ATK 26600]
“Attack power… 26,600!!!
The commentator was excited, completely excited, and jumped directly onto the commentary platform.
“Unbelievable, really unbelievable! The attack power of the Stardust Dragon has reached 26,600!!!”
Z-ONE looked up at the Ultimate Enhanced Stardust Dragon, whose attack power exceeded 26,000, and a trace of memories flashed in his eyes.
“Converging Wishes…?”
He curled his lips slightly under the mask.
“But no matter what kind of attack power, it is meaningless.” He said, “When I have ‘Drop Frame Wedge’ on the field, monsters cannot attack.”
Yuei Vu: “Activate the Spell Card – Remove Trap. Target 1 face-up Trap on the field; destroy it.”
Z-ONE: “Not bad. But have you forgotten? I still have the Timelord on the field. The Timelord will not be destroyed by battle, nor will it take battle damage.
Whether the attack power is 20,000 or 200,000, it is meaningless to attack. Instead, your monster must eat the backlash of the Timelord’s power…”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Yuei Vu smiled.
“Hmm?”
Yuei Vu raised his hand and slapped another card in his hand.
“Quick-Play Spell ‘Reflect Energy’!”
A hand card fell, and a transparent mechanical mirror appeared in Z-ONE’s backcourt. At the same time, the “Glow-Up Bulb” on Yuei Vu’s field turned into a burst of golden light and disappeared.
“By Tributing a monster, I can grant another monster on my field the right to attack directly during this turn.
I release ‘Glow-Up Bulb’, and during this turn, ‘Stardust Dragon’ can attack directly!”
“A direct attack with an attack power of 26,600!!!” the commentator shouted.
If this goes on, even gods will be wiped out, right?
Z-ONE’s expression also changed slightly.
“Bypassing the Timelord and dealing damage directly?”
“That’s right. No matter how strong the Timelord is, the duelist who controls the Timelord has its limits. So just defeat the duelist!
Battle! ‘Stardust Dragon’, attack directly…”
“That won’t work.” Z-ONE interrupted, “Open the set card: Trap Card – Ring of Destruction!
Destroy a monster on the field, and both sides will take damage equal to the attack power of that monster at the same time!” (Old version effect)
The huge mechanical arm pointed at the Stardust Dragon, which was charging up to release “Shooting Sonic”.
“I use the effect of ‘Ring of Destruction’ to destroy your ‘Stardust Dragon’, and both sides will take damage equal to its attack power at the same time!”
