Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"So, this is Professor Banner!" Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes stared at the gray-cloaked figure with even greater certainty.
When Professor Banner disappeared, Shadow Riders Dark Duelists named Amnael appeared.
The connection is far too obvious!
"Has I been recognized? Then this disguise is completely unnecessary." He removed the hood from the gray cloak and took off his mask.
Soon, the familiar appearance of Professor Banner appeared!
However, unlike before, this time, the squinty-eyed Professor Banner still had squinty eyes.
But his hair was completely white, and he was no longer wearing his old glasses.
His face even showed some bulging blood vessels similar to those on Titan before, as if he was experiencing some kind of physical symptom.
"It really is you! Professor Banner!" Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and the other two widened their eyes in surprise.
Even Chazz Princeton, who was currently his dueling opponent, stared wide-eyed in astonishment!
"We're still in the Shadow Duel Time, not the time to be distracted, Chazz Princeton." Jiang He waved his hand dismissively, offering a casual reminder.
"It's Chazz Princeton Thunder!" Chazz Princeton, ever the goofy and comical character, stubbornly corrected him!
Then, holding the cards in his hand, he looked at the Professor Banner in the distance and continued speaking.
"Even if you are Professor Banner, as Shadow Duel of the Shadow Riders, I, Chazz Princeton Thunder, will not show any mercy!"
"The duel continues!"
As he spoke, Chazz Princeton pointed out one of his five cards and discarded it into the Duel Disk graveyard.
That was a [V-Tiger Jet] monster with 1600 attack power.
"I activate the special effect of [Armed Dragon LV5], sending one monster from my hand to the Graveyard and destroying one monster you control with an ATK lower than the discarded monster!"
"I discard [V-Tiger Jet] from my hand to destroy one of your three Alchemic Beast on the field that can attack directly!"

"[Armed Dragon LV5] Destroy that [Alchemic Beast. Salamandra of Iron], Armed Missile!"
After sending the 1600 ATK [V-Tiger Jet] from his hand to his Duel Disk Graveyard, Chazz Princeton immediately pointed to the silver flying dragon monster on Banner's field and gestured, "Roar!!"
With a roar, the mature, red-gray Vice Dragon monster unleashed several small spikes—like missiles—that shot out from its body!
In the blink of an eye, it landed on the silver flying dragon monster [Alchemic Beast. Salamandra of Iron] on the grounds of Banner.
The explosion, accompanied by a burst of fire and smoke, easily destroyed it!
"I activate the effect of my Continuous Spell [Alchemy Cauldron - Chaos Distill], which banishes all cards I send to the Graveyard." Professor Banner, without a hint of worry, raised the Duel Disk on his left wrist beneath his grey cloak and spoke slowly.
He seemed to handle it with ease.
"It's a perpetual spell that banishes one's own cards?!" Chazz Princeton was surprised.
What exactly are the tactics and objectives?
Even the three spectators, including Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale, wore expressions of astonishment. Only Jiang He, who knew the situation, and Alexis Rhodes, who had recently dueled with the opponent and witnessed some of the tactics of this squinty-eyed Professor Banner, showed little change in expression. "That's a setup where he deliberately banishes his own cards and then uses a special alchemical monster to boost his attack power!" Alexis Rhodes revealed some information she knew. After all, what was happening now was not only the battle for the Spirit Keys, but also Shadow Duel to see if her brother could be freed from that Dark Item Book. However, Jiang He knew that the monsters in Professor Banner's deck that actually utilized these banished cards were far more than just that one special alchemical monster.
"A special monster that increases its attack power by banishing cards, huh? Well then, before Professor Banner can use it, I'll defeat you!"
As he spoke, Chazz Princeton waved his hand again, gesturing towards the bronze serpent, one of the two Alchemic Beast with 500 attack power each, located in the area in front of Banner. "That was using an effect to cause destruction, and there was also a powerful attack from [Armed Dragon LV5]!"
"[Armed Dragon LV5] Attack [Alchemic Beast. Copper Ouroboros]! Death Claws!"
"Hmph, I won't let you succeed in your attack so easily!"
Before the red-grey mature Vice Dragon monster could even respond and attack the bronze serpent monster, Banner calmly smiled and gestured to the only Ambush Card on the field in front of him. "Activate Ambush Card, Continuous Trap [Elemental Absorber]!"
A special device, consisting of four triangles pieced together, emerged from the opened trap. "This card's effect banishes one monster from my hand. As long as this trap is on the field, all opponent's monsters with the same attribute as the banished monster will be unable to attack." "What?!" Chazz Princeton in surprise. "The trap's blocking effect is barely acceptable." Jiang He nodded in agreement, giving a fairly objective assessment.
After all, if you sacrifice enough monsters, it's not difficult to completely block all of your opponent's offensive methods.
However, there are also quite a few troublesome aspects.
The effect requires discarding monsters of a specific attribute, which is not something most people can easily obtain at any time; monsters of the required attribute are not always readily available.
This is a card that is particularly suitable for players who are lucky with their draws.
However, this also shows that the squinty-eyed Professor Banner is quite powerful.
Even if their god-draw ability isn't as exaggerated as that of a hot-blooded idiot like Jaden Yuki, their synergy with their deck and their god-draw ability are already quite similar.
"Hmph, I'll banish this [Garuda the Wind Spirit] from my hand to block the attacks of all your WIND Attribute monsters!" Banner chuckled, flipping over his only remaining card to reveal a WIND Attribute monster! (Requesting flowers...)
As the card he indicated in his hand was drawn into the four triangular Elemental Absorber amidst a faint green glow, it was absorbed into the array.
A green energy ripple was immediately released from it!
The [Armed Dragon LV5], which had leaped up to attack, was forcibly restrained and forced back onto the field in front of Chazz Princeton!
"Damn it!" Chazz Princeton frowned and clenched his fist.
Even if his Armed Dragon is upgraded again to LV7, it will still be a WIND Attribute monster.
If that troublesome continuous trap isn't destroyed, then nearly half of his deck's attack methods... will be completely restricted!
In the end, Chazz Princeton could only reluctantly end this round for now! "My turn, draw a card!"
Banner drew a card from his dark Duel Disk deck, glanced at it, and immediately placed it into the Duel Disk to activate it! "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Black Process]!"
A Spell Card with a simple black design suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect can only be activated when I have [Alchemy Cauldron One Chaos Distill] on the field and I have 0 cards in my hand. It removes all monsters with ' Alchemic Beast ' in their names from my field. For each monster removed, I draw two cards from my deck!" "Another effect that removes my monsters and cards..." Syrus Truesdale exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
So, counting the cards before Jiang He and the others arrived, Professor Banner has a total of 5 excluded cards so far!
"I have two Alchemic Beast Alchemic Beast on the field, which means that by banishing both of them, I can draw four cards from my deck!" Banner said, drawing four cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
The two bronze serpents and the lead-gray lion monster in front of him also vanished as he drew the card.

"This duel is becoming increasingly disadvantageous for you, Chazz Princeton- kun!"
Banner glanced at the four cards drawn using the Spell Card [Black Process], and said to Chazz Princeton with a smile.
Although he still had the same squinty-eyed expression, without the glasses and with his hair turned white, Jiang He could easily sense that the squinty-eyed Professor Banner had lost his original kind and gentle demeanor, and instead exuded a somewhat aggressive aura!
"It's Chazz Princeton Thunder!" Chazz Princeton, however, insisted on correcting him with a completely different focus.
"No, what are you so obsessed with about this?" Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips and muttered with a face full of black lines.
Alexis Rhodes, Syrus Truesdale all stared speechlessly at the scene. "Then, let me show you the true power of alchemy!"
Banner said, placing one of his four cards directly onto the Duel Disk! "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [White Process]!"
A Spell Card with a white design, the opposite of the previous one, suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect: While a Continuous Spell [Alchemy Cauldron - Chaos Distill] is on the field, you can Special Summon one [Golden Homunculus] from your Deck or hand!" "Roar!!"
As Banner finished speaking, a faint orange-yellow light suddenly shone from the ground in front of him, transforming into the figure of a giant monster resembling a golden rock!
[Golden Homunculus]
[Star Rating: 6]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 1500]
[Defense Strength: 1500]
"1500 attack power is not enough to defeat my [Armed Dragon LV5]!" Chazz Princeton said immediately upon seeing this.
"Hmph, not necessarily. The [Golden Homunculus]'s special effect is that for every card it banishes, its ATK and DEF increase by 300 points!" Banner chuckled. "That's the monster!"
Upon seeing the golden rock giant monster, Alexis Rhodes's expression immediately turned serious, and she clenched her fist and exclaimed in surprise.
She was defeated by this monster before!
"Including the Spell Card [Black Process] and [White Process] used just now, which are banished under the effect of [Alchemy Cauldron - Chaos Distill] and do not go to the graveyard, Professor Banner has banished 7 cards now. Does that mean the Golden Homunculus's ATK and DEF have increased by 2100 points...?" Jiang He said after roughly calculating.
Although the duel had already begun for a round or two when he and Alexis arrived.
However, even if he hadn't seen the previous round, based on his impressions and understanding of the alchemy deck of the squinty-eyed Professor Banner...
You can also tell how many cards the other party used before, and what those cards were.
"That's right, it's increased by 2100 points. It seems that Jiang He has some understanding of my alchemy deck." Banner was slightly surprised and gave Jiang He a meaningful look.
The golden rock giant monster in front of him, whose attack power was originally 1500, also increased by 2100 points, becoming 3600!
"An attack power of 3600!" Chazz Princeton exclaimed in disbelief!
Even with a [Armed Dragon LV5] on his field with 2400 attack power, he would still need to withstand a full 1200 points of damage if Chazz Princeton! "If you still think you can survive this turn, then it just shows that you are too naive." Banner said, as if he had seen through Chazz Princeton's thoughts.
At the same time, he took two cards from his three-card hand and placed them on the Duel Disk!
"Then activate two Spell Card from your hand: [Tin Magic Circle] and [Mercury Hourglass]!"
"The effects of these two cards allow me to Special Summon one [Alchemy Cauldron Chaos Distill] and one [Alchemic Beast: Tin Eagle] from my Deck when I control a Continuous Spell [Alchemic Beast: Chaos Refining]!"
"Appear again, my Alchemic Beast!"
As Banner raised his hand to signal, the two Spell Card shadows he had activated instantly fell into the red, high-pressure furnace flames on the field in front of him! "Buzz!!"
The next second, two beams of orange-yellow light were quickly projected from the flames of the large furnace and landed on the ground in front of him, transforming into a tin-gray metallic eagle monster and a mercury-silver monster fish, which appeared there with strange cries!
[Alchemic Beast? Tin Eagle/Mercury Carp]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Wind/Water]
[Attack Power: 500]
[Defense Strength: 500]
"Apart from their attributes, names, and appearances, they are almost exactly the same as the previous three Alchemic Beast!"
Jaden Yuki, Chumley, and the other two immediately realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "So, these two are also Alchemic Beast with 500 attack power, and they can also launch direct attacks?!"
Chazz Princeton suddenly realized something, his expression instantly turning serious as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
It seems he really is about to lose!
And they couldn't even last the third round!
"That's right, and after using those two Spell Card, they were once again banished by the effect of my Continuous Spell [Alchemy Cauldron - Chaos Distill], so they don't go to the Graveyard."
"[The Golden Homunculus's] attack power will increase by another 600 points!"
Banner spoke slowly.
Almost simultaneously, the attack power of the golden rock giant monster in front of him also immediately increased by 600, becoming a terrifying 4200 points!
