Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
It seems that Shingo Sawatari's ability to become the strongest elite in the new Pendulum Summon course at the Lion 0.9 Duel Academy is not solely due to his status as the son of Paradise City Councilor!
Instead, he truly mastered Pendulum Summon, and his strength was considerable!
Jiang He remained completely unsurprised and continued watching the situation on the dueling platform in the distance.
After all, given the right deck, Shingo Sawatari's strength is indeed not much weaker than that Chazz Princeton.
It's perfectly normal to be able to fully master Pendulum Summon now.
Furthermore, if they didn't possess such strength, the white-haired youth Declan Akaba and Henrietta Akaba from the Leo Institute of Dueling obviously wouldn't have sent him to lead the charge!

"Hmph, being able to master Pendulum Summon, it seems you're not just relying on your status as the son of a councilor!"
Meanwhile, on the dueling platform in the distance, Jack Atlas," was slightly surprised upon seeing this and let out a cold snort.
"Of course! I Shingo Sawatari!"
Upon hearing this, Shingo Sawatari chuckled confidently as he looked at the arrogant, comedic figure with half-brown hair who was his dueling opponent in the distance.
The exposed teeth even flashed with a gleam!
Immediately, he raised his hand and gestured towards the area in front of him!
"The real show prepared for you is just beginning! Activate the effect of this Level 7 monster, [Abyss Actor - Superstar], which was just Special Summon by Pendulum!"
Once per turn, you can add one Spell Card with "Abyss Script" in its name from your deck to your hand!
"The card I've chosen to add to my hand is, of course, [Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony] from my deck!"
18. As Shingo Sawatari said with a smirk, he immediately raised his hand and took a card that automatically popped out of his own Duel Disk deck, and showed it to the player!
Then he slammed it directly onto his own Duel Disk to activate it!
"Then activate it immediately!"
A Spell Card with the image of an open magic book suddenly appeared on the field in front of the opponent!
"The effect of the Spell Card [Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony] allows you to recover 500 Life Points for each ' Abyss Actor ' monster in Attack Position on your field!"
"I currently have two ' Abyss Actor ' monsters in Attack Position on the field, therefore I can recover 1000 LP!"
"The Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony!"
"Buzz!!"
As Shingo Sawatari raised his hand to indicate the Spell Card [Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony] that had just appeared on the field in front of him, a burst of energy fireworks immediately appeared, quickly shooting upwards and exploding in mid-air.
A series of dazzling blue, green, and red energy fireworks light points fell!
His original [4000LP] health points also increased by 1000, becoming [5000LP]!
"Did you restore 1000 LP of health right away to prevent Jack's powerful attacks from wiping out your health in one go?"
Seeing this, Jiang He, sitting in the back row watching the battle with the Yusei Fudo, immediately frowned and guessed what was going on.
Even those Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Yuma Tsukumo, all wore the same expression!
Clearly, the opponent must have gathered information on Jack Atlas and learned that Jack's fighting style was to overwhelm his opponent with powerful monsters in one fell swoop!
Moreover, there exists an ace monster like the [Majestic Red Dragon] with an attack power of up to 4000!
This extra 1000 LP of health is clearly a preventative measure to avoid having your health wiped out in one go by Jack Atlas!
"Is this the Jack Atlas -specific tactic that the white-haired, bespectacled guy specially prepared...?"
Seeing this, Jiang He glanced at Declan Akaba, who was sitting in the direction of the Leo Institute of Dueling in the distance, and muttered to himself.
The tactics that Shingo Sawatari is currently employing are, of course, not difficult for him to guess, and are most likely not something the opponent prepared themselves.
It was designed by that young, Declan Akaba!
"Hmph, is this all the defense you can offer, just taking a beating?"
Meanwhile, on the dueling platform in the distance, Jack Atlas," snorted coldly, completely unconcerned.
A tactic that only increases health points can only prolong your life at best!
"Of course it's not over yet!"
Upon hearing this, Shingo Sawatari, the half-brown-haired figure who was his dueling opponent in the distance, smirked and chuckled.
Immediately, he drew a card from his remaining three cards and activated it!
"Next, I activate a continuous spell from my hand: [Abyss Prop - Escape Wagon]!"
A perpetual spell, depicting a carriage pulled by two will-o'-the-wisps and puppet horses, suddenly appeared on the field in front of the opponent!
"The effect of the Continuous Spell [Abyss Props - Escape Wagon] is that during the Battle Phase, once per turn you can select one " Abyss Actor " monster you control. That monster cannot be destroyed by battle during that turn, nor is it affected by any of your opponent's card effects!"
"In this way, even though your ace Synchro Monster [Red Dragon Archfiend] and [Majestic Red Dragon] both have the effect of destroying your opponent's Defense Position monsters during the damage calculation phase after an attack, and [Majestic Red Dragon] also has the ability to Null and Void one monster's effect and increase its own ATK that turn, they won't be able to exert much of an effect!"
Shingo Sawatari chuckled confidently and looked at Jack Atlas.
"They've actually gone this far in their preparations?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He, including Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, and Celina, who were watching the match together, all showed expressions of surprise.
The same applies to others, including Chancellor Sheppard, Professor Crowler, and others on the other side.
This Shingo Sawatari, and the Leo Institute of Dueling, they even targeted specific monsters!
If you add some hidden cards to that, then Jack Atlas might even have a hard time attacking his opponent!
Chapter 2082 focuses on rebellion! The second-best approach!

Jiang He, however, remained completely unconcerned and continued watching the duel unfolding on the distant stage.
Although he wasn't sure exactly what the new power that Jack Atlas, had mentioned was, he already had some guesses.
It should be able to counter this tactic!
"Hmph, I'll just hide two more cards at the end, turn over!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the distance, the arrogant and goofy figure with half-brown hair Shingo Sawatari, who was his dueling opponent, vaguely heard the surprised commotion below the stage and chuckled smugly. Then, he slammed his last two cards onto his Duel Disk! With a "thump thump" sound, two huge Ambush cards appeared one after another on the field in front of him!
Then, because an attack couldn't be launched in the first round, the turn ended abruptly!
"Hmph! The clown's acrobatic show is over! Then let me show you the power of the Primal King!"
Upon seeing Shingo Sawatari finish his turn, Jack Atlas immediately snorted coldly.
At the same time, he immediately and powerfully drew cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
"My turn, draw a card!"
After glancing at the card he had drawn, Jack Atlas immediately activated it!
"I activate the Spell Card [Graceful Charity] from my hand!"
A familiar Spell Card, depicting an angel with a halo and holding a card image in its hand, suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect allows you to draw three more cards from your deck, then choose two cards from your hand and discard them to the graveyard!"
As Jack Atlas spoke, he immediately drew three cards from his own Duel Disk deck and added them to his hand.
Then, from the other five cards in his hand, he took out two cards and discarded them to the graveyard!
"According to another part of the effect of the Spell Card [Graceful Charity], I choose to discard this Level 3 Tuner monster from my hand and another card that I don't need for the time being to the Graveyard. As expected, am I planning to revive the Level 3 Tuner monster in the Graveyard and Special Summon a high-level monster from my hand to gather the materials for Synchro Summon the Ace Monster [Red Dragon Archfiend]?"
Seeing this, Shingo Sawatari, his dueling opponent in the distance, chuckled confidently and shrugged.
"Hmph! You've already guessed wrong about the order! Activate the special effect of this Level 5 monster in your hand, [Vice Dragon]!"
Upon hearing this, Jack Atlas immediately snorted and took out a card from his hand, which still contained six cards, and showed it to the player.
Then he casually slammed it onto his own Duel Disk!
"When your opponent controls a monster, and you control none, you can Special Summon it!"
"Appear, [Vice Dragon]!"
"Roar!"
As a vortex of blue light appeared, a purplish-black Vice Dragon monster with tattered green wings quickly emerged from it!
It roared and appeared in front of Jack Atlas on the field!
[Vice Dragon]
[Star Rating: 5]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 2000]
[Defense Strength: 2400]
Why do I always feel like he's a bit rebellious?
Seeing this scene on stage, Jiang He couldn't help but make a strange comment.
Based on the version of the goofy Chazz Princeton, Shingo Sawatari guessed that Jack Atlas would first revive the Level 3 Tuner monster sent from the graveyard, and then Special Summon a high-level monster to collect Synchro Materials.
But now, Jack Atlas has summoned this [Vice Dragon] first.
Although [Vice Dragon] requires no monsters on your field to be Special Summon, and the order cannot be changed, I sensed a hint of rebellion in Jack's tone when he scorned the opponent for guessing the wrong order!
Meanwhile, on the dueling platform in the distance, Jack Atlas, the King of Unexpected Deception, immediately made a new move, taking out a card from his remaining five cards and slapping it onto his Duel Disk to activate his duel!
"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand!"
A Spell Card bearing the image of a blue cross suddenly appeared on the field in front of him! "This card's effect allows you to Special Summon any monster from either player's Graveyard!"
As Jack Atlas spoke, he immediately raised his hand and caught a card that automatically popped out of his own Duel Disk Graveyard, indicating it to be played!
"The one I choose to revive is, of course, this Level 3 Tuner monster that I just sent to the Graveyard using the effect of the Spell Card [Graceful Charity], [Dark Resonance/Wailer]!"
"Appear, [Dark Resonance/Wailer]!"
"Eee-ha!!"
As a vortex of blue light appeared, a familiar-looking little monster wearing a tattered black robe and holding a tuning fork quickly emerged from it!
It appeared in the arena in front of Jack Atlas with a strange cry!
(Okay?) [Dark Resonance/Wailer]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 1300]
[Defense: 300]
Jiang He prefers to call him "the second-best."
"Is he coming? That blond, spiky-haired ace, [Red Dragon Archfiend] Chen!"
