Chapter 80. Odd-Eyes VS Blue-Eyes White Dragon! The Four-Dimensional Dragons Fuse into Supreme King Z-ARC!
Eight negates—what kind of concept is that?!
In that instant, nearly every duelist's mind jumped back to that earlier explosive Stardust Dragon.
No!
If you compare them like that, then this Cyber Dragon board is twice as strong as Stardust's!
So this is Cyber Dragon's true power?
Isn't this a bit overtuned?!
In the big group chat, messages hit 99+ in under a minute!
Yugi Muto: "Huh? This is Cyber Dragon? So this… is the true power of the Cyber style?"
Zane Truesdale: "Then that last card—Borreload Savage Dragon—whose ace Synchro is that?"
Yuma Tsukumo: "No idea! I've never even heard of a Synchro like that! It's wild!"
Yusei Fudo: "I can confirm from the Synchro world: there's no Synchro monster like that."
If even Yusei Fudo doesn't know, then the other duelists can only stare, dumbfounded.
So this was the full display of the higher-world Cyber style?
Whether Xyz or Link, Cyber Dragon's showing blew past the limits of their understanding.
So… was that "armored emperor dragon" only a fraction of its power?!
They weren't stupid, though.
After so many demo duels, they knew that eight negates might look strong, but a single Dark Ruler No More could blank the board.
You might even scoop on the spot.
Or if you eat an Ash Blossom or a Maxx "C," you might have to stop your lines.
Even knowing that, they were still floored by Cyber Dragon's explosive sequence.
This is Cyber Dragon wrestling out infinite negates!
Main world.
Sei Yuki temporarily closed the short video, using the break to check on ARC-V's mental state.
As expected.
After the forced fusion earlier, the duelists of that world had already adapted.
Or rather, they were gradually accepting the memory fragments suddenly shoved into their minds.
Perhaps because the four dimension protagonists had, in some unseen way, formed a shared resonance of souls.
In duels, their former hostility was gone.
Even Zarc, now awake, was hanging out with them in good spirits!
Zarc: "So, Yuya Sakaki, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri—you four are all my split selves?"
Yuya Sakaki: "Maybe, yes. At least according to these memories, that's right."
Yuto: "Hard to believe we're actually the same person!"
Yugo: "Now I get it. We split off and became independent people, right?"
Yuri: "How tedious. Such an absurd existence. And this higher world that toys with our world at will—it's suffocating!"
Watching the scrolling chat of the four protagonists and Zarc, Sei Yuki couldn't help but laugh.
These guys had decent adaptability.
No need for him to explain anything.
They had already accepted the facts!
Sei Yuki: "Good. Not bad at all."
Sei Yuki: "Since the four dimensions have fused, let's begin fusing with the primary worlds."
As Sei Yuki's voice echoed across the ARC-V world, the four protagonists and the other duelists froze up.
It's here!
That voice again!
Sei Yuki—from the higher world!
So he's the one behind all this!
And those "other primary worlds" he mentioned—what were they?
Could there be other duel worlds?
The moment that thought surfaced, voices, avatars, and world info from other duelists began popping up all around them.
Mai Valentine? From the DM world, Amazoness and Harpie Lady player?
Jesse Anderson? From GX, Crystal Beasts player?
Crow Hogan? From 5D's, Blackwing player?
All of these are…?
Jaden Yuki: "Huh? Looks like brand-new friends are here! Everyone, take a look!"
Joey Wheeler: "Hey! They really are! ARC-V world? Pendulum? Xyz? Fusion? Synchro? This world's stacked?"
Yusei Fudo: "It seems to be a world that gathers all our summoning methods."
Yuya Sakaki: "You're… all of you are…? What the heck is happening?!"
Yuto: "Are you the duelists from the other worlds Mr. Sei mentioned?"
Aster Phoenix: "Yes, and welcome to the big family where duelists from other worlds can talk to each other."
...
As the five worlds collided in conversation, the ARC-V duelists had no choice but to believe it.
Other dimensional worlds—all really existed!
Then… all their worlds were under the control of Sei Yuki's higher world?!
Main world.
With the five worlds fused, Sei Yuki turned back to searching for an ARC-V short duel video.
And he really did find a good one!
Click to confirm.
The title appeared.
"Odd-Eyes VS Blue-Eyes White Dragon! A Duel Must Be Filled with Smiles!"
With that title on screen, the duelists of the other five worlds—everyone except the yet-to-join VRAINS—immediately noticed a duelist avatar from the Pendulum world.
Yuya Sakaki!
That's right!
Odd-Eyes!
It was Yuya's archetype!
And Yuya himself perked up at once.
If Odd-Eyes was next, then he wasn't sleepy at all!
He'd long wanted to see how Odd-Eyes looked in the higher world.
Inside the short video, duel info appeared!
Odd-Eyes "entertainment" player vs. Mighty Invincible Strongest.
Both LP at 8000!
First turn: the Odd-Eyes entertainment player.
Second turn: Mighty Invincible Strongest.
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Okay, let's duel!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Seeing my name, you probably know what deck I'm playing!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "That's right—the unbeatable Odd-Eyes deck!"
"Taking first turn—advantage to me!"
"Activate the Spell: Dragon Shrine!"
"Send Odd-Eyes Arc-Pendulum Dragon and Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm from my Deck to the Graveyard!"
"I activate the effect of Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm in the Graveyard!"
"This card Special Summons itself from the GY, then I add Supreme King Gate Zero from my Deck to my hand!"
"I Normal Summon Performapal Skullcrobat Joker!"
"Joker's effect adds Double Iris Magician from my Deck!"
"I Link Summon using Joker and Darkwurm!"
"Heavymetalfoes Electrumite!"
"Electrumite's effect: I place Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon from my Deck face-up in the Extra Deck!"
"I place Double Iris Magician in the left P-Zone with Scale 8!"
"Activate Electrumite's other effect—destroy Double Iris Magician to place it face-up in the Extra, then add Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon from my Extra to my hand."
"Electrumite's third effect—draw 1 card."
"Chain Double Iris Magician's effect to add Star Pendulumgraph from my Deck!"
"Activate Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon—discard it and pay 500 LP to add Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon from my Deck!"
"Set Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon in the left P-Zone with Scale 0!"
"Set Odd-Eyes Arc-Pendulum Dragon in the right P-Zone with Scale 8!"
"Then activate the Spell: Pendulum Call!"
"I discard the previously added Star Pendulumgraph to add Performapal Celestial Magician and Noble Dragon Magician!"
"Now, Pendulum Summon!"
"Trace an arc across the sky! Pendulum Summon from the Extra Deck: Double Iris Magician and Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm!"
"From my hand, Pendulum Summon Performapal Celestial Magician, Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer, and Supreme King Gate Zero!"
...
After that one breathless Pendulum sequence, duelists across all six worlds were cooked—brains overloaded like pigs.
That front-loaded wall of actions!
Never mind Pendulum-illiterate folks like Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, or Yuma Tsukumo—even Odd-Eyes user Yuya's head was about to burst.
Wait, you call this an Odd-Eyes deck?
Is this really Odd-Eyes?
What's that Link—Electrumite—doing here?
Then that torrent of Pendulum monsters—what now?
Don't tell me…
In a flash, Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri all turned pale!
They immediately realized what was coming!
Even Zarc's expression grew heavy!
With that many monsters on board—do we even need to say what comes next?
Exactly as the ARC-V duelists feared, the play began.
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Activate Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer—destroy my Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Double Iris Magician!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Add Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver and Performapal Skullcrobat Joker from my Deck!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Activate the P-Zone effect of Odd-Eyes Arc-Pendulum Dragon to Special Summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my Deck!"
"Celestial Magician's effect—overlay it with the on-field Darkwurm!"
"Construct the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
"Noble Dragon Magician's effect—reduce Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's Level, then Special Summon itself from my hand!"
"Use the Level 3 Tuner Noble Dragon Magician and the Level 4 Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer to Synchro Summon!"
"Unfurl your beautiful twin wings—Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
"Supreme King Gate Zero's effect—destroy itself and the P-Zone Arc-Pendulum Dragon!"
"From the Extra Deck, Fusion Summon Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
...…
With that terrifying cascade of resource conversions, the field now—setting Electrumite aside—already had the Fusion Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, the Synchro Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, the Xyz Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, and the Pendulum Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!
Fusion. Xyz. Synchro. Pendulum.
All four were here!
In the group chat, ARC-V's frantic messages made duelists from the other worlds blanch.
Zarc: "Not good! He's going to fuse the four monsters!"
Yuya Sakaki: "You mean—he's going to fuse into that monster?!"
Yuto: "It has to be! With the four Dimension Dragons—what else but Supreme King Z-ARC?!"
Joey Wheeler: "Wha—what are you talking about? I don't get it at all!"
Jaden Yuki: "Don't tell me—it's another ridiculous Fusion boss?!"
In the heat of that chat, sure enough, the fusion rite began!
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Supreme King Gate Zero's effect—place it in the P-Zone!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Now place Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver in the P-Zone!"
"Activate Dissolver's effect—use the four monsters on my field to Fusion Summon!"
"The ultimate fusion—let the ace that rules the dimensions descend!"
"Supreme King Z-ARC!!!"
…..
At 4000 ATK, Supreme King Z-ARC's entrance alone maxed out the pressure.
Its effect to wipe the opponent's field is meaningless going first, sure.
But effect destruction immunity! Targeting immunity!
On battle destruction, it can reel in monsters—stacked effects!
And paired with the terrifying visuals of the virtual system, the intimidation was already through the roof!
Meanwhile, the opponent—Mighty Invincible Strongest—didn't react at all.
Not even an Ash or a Maxx "C."
Duelists glanced at each other speechlessly.
Especially in the DM era.
Seeing the name "Mighty Invincible Strongest," Seto Kaiba could guess exactly what deck this person used.
No doubt about it.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
So…
Was Blue-Eyes about to lose to some Odd-Eyes deck?
And it was an entertainment Odd-Eyes at that!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
4000 ATK? Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon has 4500!
ARC-V world.
Seeing Supreme King Z-ARC in the flesh, the four protagonists and Zarc couldn't sit still.
What shocked them wasn't just Z-ARC's appearance.
It was that this higher-world duelist had actually assembled the conditions to Fusion Summon Z-ARC in a single turn!
Isn't that pure nonsense?
And yet someone actually did it?
In one breath?
In one turn?
Supreme King Z-ARC is out?
Huh?!
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "All right! I'm satisfied!"
Odd-Eyes Entertainment Player: "Turn end! Your move!"
Mighty Invincible Strongest: "My turn! I activate Dragon Shrine to send Blue-Eyes White Dragon and The White Stone of Ancients from my Deck to the Graveyard."
Mighty Invincible Strongest: "I Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue and add a second The White Stone of Ancients."
"I activate Cards of Consonance."
"I send The White Stone of Ancients to the GY and draw 2 cards."
"I activate Trade-In."
"I discard Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon and draw 2 more."
"I use Sage to Link Summon Linkuriboh."
"I Set 1 card!"
"During the End Phase, The White Stone of Ancients in my GY Special Summons Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the Deck."
"The second White Stone's effect Special Summons Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon in Defense Position."
"Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon's effect adds the Spells Advanced Ritual Art and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon."
"Turn end."
...…
All six worlds fell silent.
Some had already guessed it was a Blue-Eyes deck.
But nobody expected… this Blue-Eyes? Seriously?
The other guy labored forever to assemble a 4000 ATK Z-ARC.
And this Blue-Eyes pilot… just used two "dragon eggs" and ended the turn with two Blue-Eyes monsters?
No—that guy… is he bricked, or just playing it safe?
From start to finish, this Blue-Eyes player was too steady.
No emotional swings at all.
Throughout the Odd-Eyes player's explosive turn, Blue-Eyes never threw a hand trap.
Looking at the board, other than Linkuriboh—which can Tribute itself at attack declaration to make that opponent's monster's ATK become 0 until the end of the turn—
There were no other forms of disruption.
Unless…
Is there some huge trump in hand, just waiting for next turn?
