Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Toxic Deck and Depressing the World
For a moment, I didn't know how to complain.
While the host's skills might not be great, they were undeniably passionate and engaging.
But to say the other person is highly skilled, they immediately started using some awkward phrases...!
However, Jiang He and the others immediately headed towards the special viewing area where Alexis Rhodes and the others were!
That area is for participants' companions to rest.
Of course, there is also an internal lounge inside the stadium where participants can rest and watch the games.
However, Jiang He had absolutely no interest in those small rooms.
Even if you're just watching a play, it's definitely more fun to see it live!
Watching from that small, enclosed room was practically no different from watching a remote broadcast. Soon, only the gray- Aster Phoenix and the green-haired, twin-tailed boy who had replaced his twin sister remained on the dueling platform.
"To be able to duel with a world-renowned, undefeated genius duelist from the real-world dueling scene is truly exciting!" After the pompadour-haired host announced the start of the first duel, the green-haired, twin-tailed boy quickly shook hands with the gray- Aster Phoenix, smiling excitedly. "Although the host introduced her as a girl, she looks more like a boy."
Aster Phoenix quickly realized the problem and smiled nonchalantly.
He suddenly seemed to understand why Jiang He had glanced at the audience area after hearing the news he had just heard.
The opponent "Luna," whom the Security Maintenance Bureau commissioned him to defeat, seems to be the older twin brother or something similar to the real target. However, none of this concerns him, or perhaps it's better this way.
At least this way, even if he accepts the commission, there's no possibility of him being used by the other party to achieve any other purpose!
"Um... I'm just... I have a slightly tomboyish personality, so I guess I'd call myself a girl!"
Upon hearing Aster Phoenix's words, the little boy with green hair and pigtails, whose disguise had been exposed in an instant, was startled and quickly scratched his head while chuckling.
Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips, suddenly feeling a strong urge to complain!
He said that scratching his head was not a gesture that a girl would do.
Even if you really have to scratch your head, at least add a cute little girl sticking out her tongue!
For example, like the cutesy tactics his little fangirl Rei Saotome, uses when she does something wrong...
Meanwhile, Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski, who were standing nearby, also instantly realized something was wrong and their expressions turned strange!
This must be the little boy who took the exam in someone else's place...
"That idiot Leo, don't ruin my reputation like that...!"
In the distance, in the ordinary stands, the little girl, dressed exactly like the other girl but now wearing an extra hat to cover her hair, clenched her fists, trembling with anger, and muttered a complaint in a low voice.
What do you mean by having a boyish personality? She's not like that at all!
"Now, please activate the Duel Disk, the duel begins!" The pink-suited, pompadour-haired host, who hadn't been paying much attention, quickly reminded the gray-haired Aster Phoenix and his companion.
"Duel!" "Duel!"
As Aster Phoenix and the imposter green-haired twin-tailed boy Leo, spoke at the same time, their Duel Disk immediately lit up with a red light and a stream of light, instantly unfolding!
After they each drew five starting cards from their Duel Disk decks, the same [4000LP] Life Points appeared next to both of them! "First turn is mine, draw!"
Aster Phoenix immediately seized the first turn, drawing a card from his own Duel Disk. (A professional duelist who goes first even against a child is trash. jpg) After glancing at it, Aster Phoenix immediately slammed the drawn card onto his Duel Disk! "I summon Small Mechanical Dog Monster [D3] in Defense Position!" "Awooo!!"
With a faint light, the figure of a small mechanical dog monster, entirely black with a "D" on its purplish-red head, appeared.
It appeared on the field in front of Aster Phoenix with a strange cry!
[D3]
[Star Rating: 1]

"Are the so-called undefeated professional duelists in this real-world dueling world actually using these low-attack, one-star weak monsters?"
In the special spectator area on the side, a bespectacled man with comb-like blue hair smirked and sneered disdainfully.
This caused Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others, to frown and cast hostile and dissatisfied glances in that direction!
Although Aster Phoenix is rarely at the Duel Academy, he's still considered one of their people.
Especially since their words were filled with disdain for this real-world dueling world!
This made them even more dissatisfied!

Jiang He merely glanced at the blue-haired man with the blue comb mocking the little gray- Aster Phoenix in the distance, and the inexplicable sense of superiority emanating from the New Domino City decades later, before lazily yawning and ignoring it further.
If he remembered correctly, his next opponent seemed to be this unlucky guy!
Jiang He said that it's better to wait until later to take action against such foul-mouthed people; it's simpler to stop talking!
Then, he continued to look at the dueling arena in the distance, at the duel between the little gray- Aster Phoenix bullying... oops, I mean, the green-haired twin-tailed boy Leo! "Summoning such a weak monster with an attack power of only 0? Underestimating me like that will get you in trouble!"
At this moment, the green-haired twin-tailed boy Leo, who was the duel opponent, couldn't help but clench his fists and jump up and down in annoyance when he saw the 0-attack weak monster, the small mechanical dog [D3], summoned by Aster Phoenix.
The large audience around them also booed in unison.
"Hmph, you'll soon find out what this 0-attack weakling monster is all about." Aster Phoenix chuckled as he spoke, then immediately pulled out two [D3] monsters from his remaining five cards and showed them to the world.
"Activating the effect of this small mechanical dog [D3] allows you to use it as two or even three tributes by discarding other monsters of the same name [D3] from your hand to the graveyard!"
"I choose to send these two monsters of the same name [D3] from my hand to the Graveyard as a price, and use one Small Mechanical Dog [D3] on the field as three Tributes to Special Summon Ultimate D. hero from my hand!"
As he discarded the two [D3] cards he had indicated to the graveyard, the little gray- Aster Phoenix quickly placed a card from his hand onto his Duel Disk! "Appear, ultimate D. hero! [Destiny HERO - Plasma]!" Hah!!
A surge of crimson energy erupted from the small, black mechanical dog [D3] in front of him, transforming into a pillar of blood!
Soon, the figure of a half-dragon warrior monster with tattered, purplish-red demonic wings appeared and leaped out!
With a low, muffled growl, it slowly landed on the field in front of Aster Phoenix!
[Destiny HERO - Plasma]
[Star Rating: 8]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 1900]
[Defense: 600]
"Wow! Aster Phoenix summoned an 8-star monster right off the bat?!"
Seeing the impressive entrance of [Destiny HERO - Plasma], the host with the pompadour hairstyle on the stage exclaimed in surprise, "But this 8-star monster, which only requires three sacrifices to summon, only has an attack power of 1900 points! Is there some amazing effect behind it?!"
"Hmph, even if it's an 8-star monster, judging by its attack power, it's probably just a weakling at best."
In the special viewing area, the figure with the blue comb-shaped hair was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, before quickly scoffing at the host's words. After all, based on the extensive data he had collected long ago, before the New Domino City, the decks used in this real-world dueling world decades ago were likely mostly outdated cards focused on attack power!
Even the magical traps used are mostly designed to increase attack power.
"No, that monster possesses terrifying power; it's clearly not an ordinary monster. This hand is already warning me of its danger!" Before Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton could glare angrily at the words, they quickly saw a familiar figure in a dark blue jacket and crab-haired hairstyle, also sitting in the special viewing area, looking at his own raised wrist and denying the other's statement. "This hand is warning of danger...?"
This surprised Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the other duelists, who all gave the crab-headed, dark blue-jacketed figure a strange look... (Requesting flowers 0...)
Some people didn't expect the other party to "help" them out at this time.
And with such a weird reason...!
Only Jiang He knew that the crab-headed, Yusei Fudo, who was skilled in "Mortal Kombat," wasn't forcibly speaking up for him with some strange reason.
Rather, the other party must have genuinely sensed the power within [Destiny HERO - Plasma] through the newly awakened Crimson Dragon Mark on his wrist— the Dragon Tail Mark!
Although the complete loss of the energy of the Light of Destruction that originally resided within it has left the little gray- Aster Phoenix's [Destiny HERO - Plasma] with very little power, it is now far inferior to beings like the Sacred Beasts.
However, the power it retained was still comparable to that of the six subordinate dragons of the Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl!
With Yusei Fudo speaking up for him, the middle-aged man with the blue comb-shaped hair showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but after seeing someone chime in, he snorted and didn't continue speaking.
Everyone continued to look towards the dueling arena in the distance, and soon they saw that the little gray- Aster Phoenix had made a new move! "Then, he activated a Continuous Spell from his hand, [D - Force]!"
A Spell Card with a jet-black "D" symbol suddenly appeared on the field in front of Aster Phoenix!
"This card's effect, once activated, allows you to place it face-up on top of your deck. As long as it exists, you cannot draw cards during your draw phase at the start of your next turn."
Aster Phoenix chuckled and looked at the green-haired, twin-tailed boy Leo, in the distance opposite him.
"Of course, while paying this price, my [Destiny HERO - Plasma] on the field will also be able to activate its full effect!" "Finally, I'll bury one more card, end of turn!"
Aster Phoenix then placed his last card on his Duel Disk!
The round ended abruptly! (IV.)

"Although I don't know what special effects this 8-star monster has, I definitely won't lose to you so easily!"
Seeing Aster Phoenix finish his round, Leo clenched his fist confidently at the green-haired twin-tailed boy in the distance.
Immediately, he drew a card directly from his own elementary school Duel Disk deck! "My turn, draw!"
After glancing at the card he had drawn, the green-haired, twin-tailed boy, Leo, immediately brightened up! "I've drawn the key card I need for my strongest combo!"
Immediately, he slammed the card he had just drawn onto his Duel Disk! "I summon in Defense Position, [Morphtronic Magnen U]!" "Chirp!!"
As a faint "four-five-three" light appeared, a U-shaped magnetic monster, red on top and blue on the bottom, suddenly emerged!
With a strange cry, it appeared in front of the green-haired, twin-tailed boy Leo, on the field!
[Morphtronic Magnen U]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 800]
[Defense: 800]
"Next, activate Spell Card from your hand [Cost Down]!"
A Spell Card with two Swords of X piercing the two stars of a monster card suddenly appeared on the field in front of the green-haired, twin-tailed boy Leo! "This card's effect: Discard one card from your hand as a cost, and the Level of all monsters in your hand will decrease by two stars this turn!"
The green-haired, twin-tailed boy, Leo, chuckled confidently. He then drew a card from his remaining four cards, indicating he was discarding it to the Duel Disk graveyard. "I choose to discard this second [Morphtronic Magnen U] from my hand to the graveyard!" "Having already performed Normal Summon, is the real purpose of activating this effect that lowers the Level of monsters in your hand simply to discard that [Morphtronic Magnen U] to the graveyard?"
The little gray- Aster Phoenix immediately saw through the other party's intentions and chuckled, saying, "As expected of a professional duelist from the real-world dueling world, you were able to see through my tactics!"
The green-haired boy with pigtails, Leo, immediately smiled excitedly and said.
He looked like he was praising Aster Phoenix!
"..." Jiang He and the others were immediately speechless, and suddenly felt a bit like complaining!
It's quite surprising that such an obvious intention was seen through...?!
In particular, Jiang He remembered that the little boy Leo's Morphtronic Deck seemed to consist of special monsters that had different effects in attack and Defense Position.
The effect of [Morphtronic Magnen U] in Defense Position has a slightly sinister chain effect.
