Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"My [Turbotan] is a Level 10 monster, so according to [D-Death Race], I will take 500 LP damage."

As soon as Ed finished speaking, a beam of purple light shot out from the [D-Death Race] in front of him, causing him to stumble and almost lose his balance.

This scene also elicited unrestrained laughter from Grace Taylor, one of the Taylor sisters, on the other side:

"Haha, Ed, you can barely stand up. I think you should just surrender!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I already said I'm not that Edward. And it's just a mere 500 points of damage, who are you saying can't stand up?"

Although he said that, Edward knew that with his deck, he had no way to break through the Taylor sisters' situation. In fact, he was more likely to fall into defeat step by step because of his [D-Death Race].

However, Edward clearly heard a voice repeatedly speaking in his mind:

"Ed, believe in your deck, believe in your [Destiny Hero]. The next draw will surely create a miracle."

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

As he swiped his finger and saw the card in his hand, Ed was momentarily stunned. He clearly remembered that this card, named [Fate Draw], did not exist in his deck.

However, since he is already out of options, he might as well trust that voice, trust the card in his hand, and trust the [Destiny Heroes] in his deck.

"I activate the Spell Card [Fate Draw]! I discard one [Fate HERO] from my hand, then draw two cards. I choose to discard [Fate HERO Dynamite] from my hand."

Having sent his last two cards to the graveyard, Edward closed his eyes and began to pray silently:

Please respond to me, my [Heroes of Destiny]...

"Draw a card!"

Looking at the two cards that had come into his hands, Edward saw a possibility of breaking through the Taylor sisters' blockade.

"I Normal Summon [Destiny Hero Demon] from my hand!"

As Edward slammed down the card in his hand, a figure shrouded in layers of black clothes and armor, revealing only a pale face, instantly appeared on Edward's field.

Beyond its black attire, there was a dark red cloak with tattered edges, fluttering in the still air.

"[Destiny HERO Devilman]'s effect! While this card is face-up in Attack Position, once per turn, you can banish 1 of your opponent's monsters until this effect is applied, at which point it cannot return to your opponent's monsters during your second Standby Phase!"

Now, send [Amazonian Empress] two turns into the future, [Devilman]!

In an instant, [Destiny Hero Devilman] rushed towards [Amazonian Empress], raised his sharp, long claws, and grabbed [Amazonian Empress]'s neck.

The next second, the body of the [Amazonian Empress] turned into scattered specks of light in the hands of the [Devilman].

Chapter 167 The Rebirth of the Anti-Utopia

"Because of the effect of [Devilman], I cannot attack this turn, so I set a card face down and end my turn."

As Edward placed his last card into the Duel Disk, the card's back instantly materialized in front of him, and he then pointed to [D-Death Race] at his feet.

"Then, activate the effect of [D-Death Race] once again! Now, I have a level 10 [Turbot] and a level 3 [Devilman] on the field, for a total of 13 levels."

"Ours is... a level 7 [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion]."

"Then, this [D-Death Race] will deal 600 damage to you, and at the same time, I can increase the attack power of [Twilight People] by the same 600 points!"

As the Taylor sisters' LP further decreased from 5100 points to 4500 points, the [Twilight Man]'s attack power also recovered to 2000 points, and Ed couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Currently, the gap in LP between the two sides is only 1000 points, so there is still a chance to overtake.

However, Gloria, who was about to take on this round, looked rather grim.

After all, she knew that with [Destiny Hero Twistedian] on Edward's field, it was impossible for a single [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion] to break through the presence of [Destiny Hero Twistedian] and cause harm to Edward.

She needs a new monster to break the deadlock.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Seeing that the card drawn from her hand was indeed her own monster, Gloria breathed a slight sigh of relief and placed it on her Duel Disk.

"I Normal Summon [Amazon Swordsman] from my hand! Then battle ensues! [Amazon Pet Tiger Lion], attacking [Destiny Hero Demon]!"

Gloria's lips curled into a subtle smile as she gave the order. She could foresee that if Edward didn't want to take 2400 points of combat damage immediately, he would activate the [Twilight Man] effect to protect [Devilman].

However, as a result, the attack power of the [Mutoban] will be reduced to 1200 points due to the effect of the [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion].

In this way, the Amazon Swordsman can easily defeat the Destiny Hero: Twisted One.

She had a good plan, but she forgot that Edward had just covered up a card.

"Now! I activate the Trap Card [D-Counter]! When a face-up [Destiny HERO] monster on my field is targeted for an attack, destroy the attacking monster!"

"Oops!"

The [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion] was able to swagger around thanks to the combat effect resistance granted by the [Amazonian Empress]. But now that the [Amazonian Empress] is excluded, the [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion] is as fragile as paper if it encounters effect destruction.

As [D-Counter] shone with a golden light behind [Destiny Hero Devilman], [Amazonian Pet Tiger Lion]'s body was instantly obliterated in that golden light.

"Damn it, if that's how it is..."

At this moment, Gloria was once again in the same predicament she had been in before this round began. With the [Mutoban] around, the [Amazon Warriors] were even less likely to use the [Devilman] as a breakthrough point.

Should we send the Amazon Warriors to attack the Twilight People? While Edward could absorb the 500 damage he would take, the Amazon Warriors themselves would also be destroyed.

At that time, with the help of [D-Death Race] and the restored attack power of [Twilight People], the two sisters would be even less likely to defeat Edward.

Therefore, Gloria ultimately made the choice to give up:

"I choose to end this round."

This time, the [Amazon Warrior] was only level 4, yet it instantly dealt a full 900 points of damage to the Taylor sisters, causing their LP to drop further to 3600 points.

The attack power of the [Tutopia] has also been restored to 2900 points.

Even worse for the two sisters is that the next round will be Edward's turn again.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Drawing the card from the top of the deck, looking at its simple effect and then at the current situation on the field, Edward instantly thought of a way to break the deadlock.

"Then, I will activate the effect of [Devilman] once again to banish the [Amazon Warrior] on the field!"

Upon hearing Ed's choice, both Gloria and Grace were taken aback. After all, activating the [Devilman] effect meant that Ed had once again given up his right to attack this turn.

Did you discover a problem with these two cards?

Thinking this, Grace couldn't help but look at the two cards she had placed face down. Both of these cards had the effect of restoring damage caused in battle.

But Grace quickly shook her head, rejecting the idea:

How could that be? Edward doesn't have X-ray vision!

Soon, Edward explained his reasons for doing so:

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand! I choose to send [Destin HERO Turtopian] and [Destin HERO Devilman] from my field to the Graveyard to perform Fusion!"

The vortex of fusion reappeared, and this time, both heroes on the field immediately leaped into it, disappearing into the vortex.

"Heroes reigning over the twilight utopia! Dark heroes with demonic power! Now unite as one and reign over the dark future! Fusion Summon! Comeon! [Destiny Heroes: Anti-Utopia]!"

The hero, clad in purple and gold armor, has reappeared, but this time, the phantom appearing beside him is a golden figure.

"[Dystopian]'s effect! This time, I will inflict damage equal to the attack power of the [Dystopian] fusion material! The Fist of Oppression!"

Upon hearing this, the Taylor sisters' expressions instantly changed. Regardless of how much the [Twilight Man's] attack power had been reduced on the field, the [Twilight Man], now used as fusion material in the graveyard, still possessed a solid 3000 attack power.

This means that this time, they will have to withstand a crushing blow that deals a full 3000 damage.

The [Dystopian] stretched out his hand, and perhaps because the power of the oppressive fist was too great this time, the energy ball formed by the originally milky white oppressive fist was now stained with a light gold.

The golden, oppressive fist crashed down, unleashing a powerful storm that sent the Taylor sisters flying backward and crashing to the ground.

Their LP of 3600 points quickly dwindled to only 600 points.

And the voice that followed from Edward was like the final judgment delivered to the two sisters:

"Now, turn over. The effect of [D-Death Race] activates! I only have a Level 8 [Dytophon] on my field, while you don't have a single monster left. This means you should take this 800 damage!"

The purple light shone once more on the [D-Deathmatch] card. Then, it transformed into a thick pillar of light, crashing heavily into the Taylor sisters.

"Ah!!!" ×2

Amid screams, the Taylor sisters were sent flying by the beam of light, crashing heavily to the ground, almost unable to move.

And their LP also dropped to zero at this moment.

As for Edward, after successfully defeating the two, a powerful sense of weakness and powerlessness instantly overwhelmed his brain, causing him to almost kneel on the ground.

Chapter 168 Edward Arrives at the Duel Temple

"Are you OK?"

Just as Ed was about to fall to the ground, the man who had almost been hunted by the Taylor sisters quickly supported Ed and helped him up.

However, the moment their bodies touched, Edward noticed that the man's body was trembling uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, they were still afraid after seeing me use Fusion Summon.

"Hmm~"

Seeing that the Taylor sisters, who had been knocked unconscious in the duel, were showing signs of regaining consciousness, Edward quickly gestured to the man, signaling him to leave immediately:

"Hurry up and head towards the mountains. Some of your Hyperdimensional people went that way this morning. Judging by the time, they should have already established a base there. You just need to be careful, avoid the fusion dimension patrolling soldiers, and you'll be safe once you meet up with them."

"Then, what about you? Are you planning to stay? If they find out what you're like now, it'll be terrible."

Hearing the man's words of concern despite his fear, Edward felt a warmth in his heart and smiled as he said:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just hide while you can."

Ed broke free from the man and was about to prove he was alright, but as soon as he took a step, his legs gave way and he fell down again.

Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and caught Edward in time, preventing him from falling face-first to the ground.

"Look at you, you don't even have the strength to walk anymore. Since you said there's a stronghold of ours on the other side of the mountain, I'll take you there to find them."

Without waiting for Ed's obvious resistance, he hoisted Ed onto his back and strode off in the direction Ed had just pointed out.

Before long, the two figures disappeared into the pitch-black night.
