The nobles hadn't thought this ordinary-looking, even somewhat timid boy would summon a 4000-ATK level monster right off the bat.
This kind of monster, even KING hadn't directly brought out.
"Set two cards. End turn!"
Syrus's expression was grave. He looked forward.
Though the ATK was 4000, if it was his brother, that still wasn't enough.
Fortunately, there was other defense ready.
A 4000-ATK monster on the field with two Set cards, from any angle, was quite intimidating.
In many cases, it was enough to make many duelists shrink back.
After all, dealing with a 4000-level monster while also handling two Set cards was no small difficulty.
But at this level, for Polaris, it was far from enough.
"Heh, interesting."
"Then, my turn, draw." Polaris loudly drew a card from his Deck, glanced, mouth rising. "Activate Spell Card."
"Lightning Storm!"
Syrus widened his eyes.
Chimeratech Rampage Dragon's figure appeared on the card. Endless lightning crashed against everything!
"When I control no face-up cards, activate this card. Destroy all opponent's Attack Position monsters, or directly destroy all opponent's Spell/Trap cards."
"I choose Spell and Trap cards!"
Didn't expect a storm right at the start.
"Counter Trap, Emergeroid Call!" At this instant, Syrus had no choice. He had to activate the Trap. "While I control a Roid Fusion Monster, when a monster effect, Spell, or Trap is activated, activate. Negate that activation. After that, from the activating player's Deck or Extra Deck, send all same-name cards to the Graveyard!"
Along with Syrus's counter, a red warning light flashed. Then on Lightning Storm's card, a big X was drawn.
Polaris glanced down at his Deck. Two cards automatically popped out. He reached, took them, and casually stuffed them into the Graveyard.
"Not bad."
"Then, Spell Card, Ursarctic Departure."
"I discard Ursarctic Drytron from my hand to activate Ursarctic Departure's effect. Add 2 Ursarctic monsters from my Deck to my hand."
Mm, a card that searches two at once.
"I add Ursarctic Megabilis and Ursarctic Mikpolar from my Deck to my hand."
Polaris added the two cards, then.
"Continuous Spell Card, Ursarctic Radiation!"
Here it came!
Everyone focused.
Stars began replacing this room's ceiling. The light of the Big Dipper seemed to shine here.
"Only 1 of this card can exist face-up on the field. When activating this card, place 7 counters on it."
Ursarctic Radiation, counters: 7.
Here it comes!
Ursarctic's terrifying draw!
"While this card exists on the field, each time an Ursarctic monster is Special Summoned from the hand or Extra Deck, remove 1 counter from this card to activate. Draw 1 card."
With 7 counters, he could draw 7 cards!
Ursarctic, actually terrifying.
"Activate Mikbilis's effect in my hand. During the Main Phase of my or the opponent's turn, tribute 1 other Level 7 or higher monster from my hand to activate. Special Summon this card from my hand. After this effect, until the end of the turn, I can only Special Summon monsters with Levels."
"At the same time, Ursarctic Drytron's effect in the Graveyard. When I would tribute a monster to activate an Ursarctic or Drytron monster effect, I can banish this card from my Graveyard instead."
Mm.
Syrus furrowed his brow.
As expected, a card related to Drytron.
"I banish Ursarctic Drytron, activate Mikbilis's effect, Special Summon it."
With Polaris's motion, a mighty mechanical grizzly, holding twin axes, appeared on the field.
Ursarctic Mikbilis, Level 7, WATER Attribute, Beast-Type. ATK 700.
"When Mikbilis is Special Summoned, activate. Special Summon 1 Ursarctic monster other than Ursarctic Mikbilis from my hand. At the same time, Ursarctic Radiation's effect, I draw a card."
"I Special Summon Mikpolar from my hand!"
Ursarctic Mikpolar, Level 7, WATER Attribute, Beast-Type. ATK 700.
"When Mikpolar is Special Summoned, activate. Add 1 Ursarctic monster other than Mikpolar from my Deck to my hand. At the same time, Ursarctic Radiation's effect, draw 1 more card!"
Ursarctic Radiation, counters: 7 → 6 → 5.
Atticus Rhodes grew somewhat grave.
As expected of Zane. Even with another deck, he could handle it so lightly.
"Heh, I add Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha from my Deck to my hand.
This card is also treated as an Ursarctic or Drytron card for rules purposes. This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned by a card effect.
If I control an Ursarctic or Drytron monster other than Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha, activate. Special Summon this card from my hand. After that, I can add 1 Ursarctic Spell/Trap or Drytron Spell/Trap card from my Deck to my hand."
Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha, Level 7, WATER Attribute, Machine-Type. ATK 2000.
"I add Ursarctic Quint Charge from my Deck to my hand. At the same time, Ursarctic Radiation's effect, draw another card."
"Tribute Ursarctic Mikpolar in my hand, Special Summon from my hand, Ursarctic Megabilis!"
A monster bigger than Mikbilis, more domineering, more fully equipped, swung its claws and roared onto the stage.
Ursarctic Megabilis, Level 8, WATER Attribute, Beast-Warrior Type. ATK 2800.
"While I control another Ursarctic monster, when this card is Special Summoned, activate. Target 1 card in the opponent's Graveyard. Banish that card. I choose Emergeroid Call in your Graveyard. At the same time, Ursarctic Radiation's effect, I draw another card."
"Then at this time, I also activate the effect of the Trap Card in the Graveyard!" Syrus, not shaken at all by Polaris's consecutive Special Summons and draws, activated the card effect at light speed.
The nobles who'd been stunned by Polaris's consecutive Special Summons and consecutive draws finally snapped out of it. Once they came to, they found that Syrus had, like that Hikaru, activated a Trap Card effect from the Graveyard!
"Emergeroid Call's effect. Banish this card from my Graveyard, target 1 Roid monster in my Graveyard to activate. Add that monster to my hand.
I choose Kiteroid."
Syrus didn't fall behind. Without hesitation, he recovered Kiteroid.
Polaris slightly nodded.
Reasonable.
He of course knew Emergeroid Call's effect, but it actually didn't matter. For him, activating Megabilis's effect to force Syrus to activate the Trap effect was enough.
This also prevented Syrus from having any strange tactics afterward.
"Using Level 8 Megabilis and Level 7 Mikpolar, Tune!"
Here it comes!
Yusei focused, watching the duel scene.
Negative Tuning!
"The Summoning condition is to send 1 Tuner monster and 1 non-Tuner monster from my field to the Graveyard, with a Level difference of up to 1!"
Polaris raised his right hand. In the sky, the giant Big Dipper began to shine, making him appear like a divine being.
"Absolute Synchro power constructed from the entire world, different from cooperation, now, transform into a torrent of data and manifest here!
Negative Synchro!
Level 1, Ursarctic Polari!"
The giant polar bear transformed into a pitch-black ring. Then another bear flowed into its ring. Countless black stars filled the empty spots in its body. In the end, only one bright star remained.
Ursarctic Polari, Level 1, WATER Attribute, Beast-Type. DEF 2000.
"Polari..."
"A Level 1 Synchro Monster different from last time!"
"A Level 1 Synchro Monster, there are actually two!?"
Those from other dimensions might not care much, but for the Synchro Dimension staff and nobles present, this was absurd beyond absurd, absurd all the way home.
"Because an Ursarctic monster was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, I can draw 1 card. At the same time, Polari's effect activates. When this card is Special Summoned, I can activate 1 Field Spell Card from my Deck, Ursarctic Big Dipper."
Ursarctic Radiation: 5 → 4 → 3 → 2.
Each counter removed meant one more draw. Now this card had 2 counters, meaning he'd drawn 5 cards. Absurd.
At the same time, a giant interstellar battleship slowly manifested behind the dueling arena and gradually stopped there.
"While Ursarctic Big Dipper is on the field, once per turn, when my Ursarctic monster activates an effect that requires tributing a monster, I can banish 1 Level 7 or higher Ursarctic from my Graveyard instead.
I activate Polari's effect. Banish Mikpolar from the Graveyard, Special Summon Megabilis from the Graveyard."
"At this instant, Ursarctic Big Dipper's effect activates. Each time a monster is Special Summoned, place 1 counter on it."
Ursarctic Big Dipper, counters: 0 → 1.
"7 and 8..." Compared to that, Syrus was more worried about the numbers.
"Heh, not stupid." Zane picked up the monster on the field. "Send Level 8 Megabilis and Level 7 Mikbilis to the Graveyard, conduct a negative-number Tuning!"
"Come, Ursarctic Polar Star!"
Ursarctic Polar Star, Level 1, WATER Attribute, Machine-Type. ATK 700.
Another card drawn.
At the same time, the battleship's counters reached 2.
"Tribute Mikbilis in my hand, Special Summon Megapolar from my hand!"
Last one!
Syrus watched the last counter on Ursarctic Radiation turn into an image and finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
Drawing 7, truly terrifying.
"Megapolar's effect. While I control another Ursarctic monster, when this card is Special Summoned, target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the opponent's field to activate. Destroy that card.
I destroy your Set card."
Megapolar raised a giant hammer and swung at Syrus's Set card. Syrus blocked the storm with one hand and shouted loudly: "Then I directly activate the Set card, Trap Card Magnet Force!
This turn, monsters on the field whose original Type is Machine-Type or Rock-Type are not affected by the effects of opponent's monsters other than themselves!"
"Oh ho?" Polaris slightly nodded in acknowledgment. "Using this card to assist a 4000-ATK monster, letting it be unaffected by other monsters for one turn, is indeed very useful.
But that card was Special Summoned by Future Fusion, right?"
Mm.
Right.
This was the biggest flaw of monsters Special Summoned by Future Fusion.
Syrus wiped the cold sweat off his chin and still looked at his opponent, unwilling to concede.
Regardless, he had to awaken his brother!
"Then, using Level 1 Polari and Level 8 Megapolar, tune once more!"
"Send 1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner Synchro Monster of Level 8 or higher from my field to the Graveyard, with a Level difference of up to 7, descend! Warrior among the stars!"
"Level 7, Ursarctic Grand Chariot!"
A giant scythe flew out from the battleship, then slammed into the ground. Then a mighty mechanical warrior flashed onto the field, grabbed the scythe with one hand, rapidly spun the weapon, and stood in the front field.
Ursarctic Grand Chariot, Level 7, WATER Attribute, Beast-Warrior Type. ATK 2700.
Ursarctic Big Dipper, counters: 4.
"When Grand Chariot is Special Summoned, I can target up to two cards on the field other than this card to activate. Destroy those cards. I'll destroy your Future Fusion!"
As expected.
Syrus's expression changed, but at this moment he had no way to block it. He could only watch the Equip Spell Card turn to smoke and loudly dissipate.
Having lost the power of the future, the Roid on the field also slowly crumbled, turning into bubbles.
"Last one." Polaris lightly raised his hand. "Hahahaha, activate Ursarctic Polar Star's effect. Tribute it on the field and the Level 8 Ursarctic Megabilis in my hand. Special Summon 1 Level 7 Ursarctic Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. The monster Special Summoned by this effect gains a special effect. As long as it's on the field, the opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters with Levels that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck."
"Come forth! The seven most brilliant stars!"
"Ursarctic Septentrion!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Seven stars lit up the entire illusory ceiling. A silver-white mechanical warrior flew out from among the seven stars.
Ursarctic Septentrion, Level 7, WATER Attribute, Beast-Warrior Type. ATK 3000.
"While this card exists in the Monster Zone, face-up monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck that don't have a Level have their effects negated!"
Ursarctic Big Dipper, counters: 5.
"Battle. Attack directly with Septentrion!"
"Syrus!" "Watch out!" Duel Academy's companions cried out.
"Activate Kiteroid's effect in my hand. When the opponent directly attacks, discard it to make one instance of battle damage become 0!"
Syrus, facing the terrifying mechanical warrior charging at him, without hesitation pulled out the Kiteroid he'd just recovered and discarded it to prevent this damage.
Septentrion raised its greatsword and charged to Syrus's side, slashing down. Syrus only felt the heavens and earth change color, his vision seeming to instantly turn black and white.
Mm.
He half-knelt, feeling the piercing, icy pain, unable to speak for a long time.
"Dodged it."
"But it's not enough!"
The companions on site also made their judgment.
This level wasn't enough!
Because Polaris's total monster ATK on the field was still greater than 4000!
"Then, attack directly with Ursarctic Grand Chariot!"
"Kiteroid's effect in the Graveyard, banish it, make direct attack damage become 0!"
Grand Chariot spun its giant scythe and slashed down at Syrus from across the field. Syrus suddenly coughed, feeling electric current cover his whole body.
"Then, finally, Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha attacks directly!"
"The last Kiteroid's effect, banish it!"
Even just a 0-damage direct hit caused pain. Syrus didn't dare think whether he could've held until the next turn without activating effects.
Just as he'd thought, countless ice crystals pierced through his body. He almost collapsed to the ground directly.
"Weathered it all? Not bad."
"Set two cards. End turn."
Syrus clutched his abdomen and slowly stood up, looking at Polaris.
Polaris still maintained a very confident bearing, making Syrus unspeakably uncomfortable.
Behind Polaris, the two nobles had already begun cheering.
Won!
Wasn't this a certain victory?
With the Synchro Monster Special Summoned by Polar Star on the field, the opponent couldn't activate the effects of monsters with Levels Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. With Septentrion on the field, face-up monsters Special Summoned from the opponent's Extra Deck that didn't have Levels had their effects negated.
Combined, that sealed all Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz Monsters!
Even Fusion Summoning, uncommon in this dimension, in front of Septentrion was completely useless!
"Whew, heh."
Syrus took a deep breath.
Without anyone telling him, he knew how bad his situation was now.
Brother not only had Extra Deck lockdown monsters with no low ATK, but had also replenished a huge amount of hand cards. In this situation, he'd even Set two cards.
Regardless, this was very bad for him.
But not without hope.
