Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

"——Duel!!!"×2

(Cobra LP: 8000)

(Saburo Marufuji LP: 8000)

"I will take the lead in this duel!"

He spoke with a stern expression, and relying on the strong momentum honed on the battlefield, Cobra burst out with an astonishing force and took the lead in seizing the first attack in this duel.

From the top of the deck, draw the five initial cards.

Cobra stared at the cards in his hand, and his face showed a determined look at the same time.

very good!

As soon as you get up, you get the key cards to expand accurately!

The outcome of this duel is almost certain!

"Entering the main stage, I usually summon the monster card in my hand - [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] (Machine Family/Earth/4 Stars/Attack: 1800/Defense: 0)!"

Putting a card in his hand into the monster area of ​​the duel disk, Cobra spoke in a deep voice and called out the name of the monster to his opponent.

Following the Cobra's movement, an orange and white robot immediately descended from the sky, unfolded its mechanical body, and appeared in the field of vision of everyone present.

"Oh? Mechanical clan? Can't you see that this big guy knows a lot~!"

Jonouchi, who originally thought that a strong man like Cobra would take out some beasts, reptiles and other monsters, immediately showed an unexpected expression on his face after seeing the small robot that appeared on the field at this moment.

"At the moment when the monster is successfully summoned, I activate the effect of [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton], and add a [Mecha] monster from the deck other than my own card with the same name to my hand.

Based on this effect, I searched for the monster card in the deck - [Mecha Unclassified Soldier] (Machine type/dark/4 stars/attack power: 1800/defense power: 800). "

He glanced at Saburo Marufuji opposite, and after retrieving the cobra, he stretched out his arm and began his next operation again.

"Huh? Another 'mecha' monster? Are these cards originally from the same series?"

Watching the operation of the cobra, Marufuji unconsciously showed a solemn expression on his face.

Since it is a special 'Mecha Field' deck, it means that Cobra's entire deck will be built around this field.

The question is, what kind of powerful effect will this so-called [Mecha] deck have?

Regarding this information, Marufuji is still in a state of confusion.

"At this moment, the effect of [Mecha Unclassified Soldier] is activated! If this card is added to the hand by a method other than drawing a card, it can be specially summoned directly from the hand once per turn.

But in exchange, after this effect is activated, until the end of the turn, I cannot Special Summon a monster that is not a Machine type. "

He spoke calmly, explaining the monster's effect.

At the same time, Cobra slapped the [Mecha] monster that he had retrieved previously on the deck of the duel board: "Special Summon in Defense Position, come out, [Mecha Unclassified Soldier] (Defense Power: 800) !”

As a red light representing danger and ominousness flashed past, a mechanical soldier with black mist floating on the surface of his body suddenly appeared in the sight of everyone present, waving the heavy artillery in his hand. Inside.

Although what appears now is only a 4-star lower-level monster.

However, Marufuji still felt an extremely dangerous aura from this monster.

What is the source of this danger...?

"Another effect of [Mecha Unclassified Soldier] is activated. If this card is summoned or special summoned successfully, I can send a [Mecha] monster from the deck except the card with the same name to the graveyard.

Based on this effect, I sent another [Mecha] monster in the deck, the level 10 [Mecha Troop·Destruction Armed Force], to the graveyard. "

Cobra pulled out the deck from the duel plate, spread it out in his hand, and then picked out one of the cards and sent it to the graveyard.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the card that also had an ominous aura on its surface. A look of astonishment flashed across Marufuji's face unconsciously.

"What? You actually sent a level 10 monster to the graveyard? Is this stance intended to use the [Resurrection of the Dead] effect to directly resurrect it from the graveyard?"

Guessing Cobra's plan, he looked at his current hand.

Marufuji, who felt powerless to stop the cobra from reviving the monster, frowned with a bitter expression on his face.

It is worth mentioning that.

Up to this point, everything Cobra has shown is just some appetizers before the main meal.

What I want to show next is the focus of this [Mecha] deck, and it is also the main course of this duel!

"Up...connecting arrow, confirm!"

"The conditions for summoning are 2 monsters of the same race or attribute!"

"I used the [Mecha Unclassified Soldier], who is also a mechanical type, and set a connection mark with the [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] to perform a special connection summon!"

Raising his right arm high, Cobra looked up at the two monsters standing in front of him.

As his words fell, the bodies of [Mecha Unclassified Soldier] and [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] immediately turned into pure data streams, lighting up the arrows below and on the right side of the connection loops that appeared on the field.

"What? What this guy is using...is actually 'Connect Summon'?"

in the audience.

Jonouchi, who noticed that Cobra was operating at this moment, immediately stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

Link summoning, which is said to be a new summoning method pioneered by Paradis Company, has gradually become popular in the duel circle during this period.

Paradis Company has not fully announced the specific situation at present, but only announced that this is a new summoning method that no one has ever seen before.

This connection summons, which is inseparable from the current virtual world, is different from the previous fusion summons and ritual summons. It is similar to the synchronization summons and is a new thing that does not originally exist in this world.

Judging from the information currently available to everyone, even if we look at the entire world, only a very small number of top duelists are capable of using this new summoning method.

Unexpectedly, the people here actually include this former mercenary - Cobra.

How to say?

Is he performing the connection summons at this time to promote Paradis Company, or does he have some other ulterior purpose?

And what kind of power does this so-called connection monster have?

"...What kind of monster will come out?!"

Tens of thousands of duelists, including President Kaiba, who had a high self-esteem, and Wang Xiang, who was also paying attention to the duel outside the venue, could not help but widen their eyes at this time. As top duelists, their instincts constantly reminded Wang Yang and Kaiba.

The time of change in Duel Monsters has quietly arrived in the current world.

Not counting those people from the future who accidentally entered before, starting from this moment, the whole world will enter a new era, an era of new master rules represented by 'Connection Summoning'!

"Link Summon, come out! LINK-2, [Alliance Transport Vehicle]!!!"

The connecting circuit is lit by two rays of light transformed into monsters.

In the bright light that spread out, the new connection monster representing hope appeared in everyone's field of vision, driving the steel tracks.

That figure, like an infinite train, possesses the ultimate retrieval power to dispatch all the monsters in the deck. Now it is the figure of the connection monster locked in the OCG black room!

-

【Alliance Transport Vehicle】

(Machine family/Light/Attack power: 1000/LINK-2/)

【↓】【→】

Effect/Connection:

2 monsters with the same race or attribute

The effect of this card name can only be used once per turn. This card cannot be used as link material during the link summoning turn.

①: It can only be activated by targeting 1 face-up monster on your field. Select 1 monster from your hand or deck with the same original race or original attributes as the target monster, and use it as an equipment card that increases its attack power by 1000 and equip it to the target monster.

When this effect is equipped from the deck, you cannot Special Summon the equipped monster card or those monsters with the same name until the end of the turn.

"Oh~! Link Summon!!! The operation performed by the Cobra player at this moment is actually the rumored Link Summon!!!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The host, who was riding on an aeroplane in mid-air, raised the microphone in his hand and let out a hysterical roar at the right moment.

In fact, many duelists who are not well-informed have not yet understood the rules of 'Connection Summoning', nor do they know why the host's emotions became so agitated.

However, this did not prevent them from shouting unknown cheers from their mouths, driven by the warm atmosphere around them.

"So that's it, monsters that meet the conditions are sent from the field to the graveyard to light up the arrow symbols pointing in eight different directions. Then you can use the special link monsters from the extra deck to The monster summoned by the link is summoned to the field..."

"Is this the new path opened up by You Ling? Not fusion, not synchronization, but the latest connection summons?!"

Recalling the operation Cobra showed just now, Wang Xiang held his chin and couldn't help but fall into a state of thinking.

Unlike those in the audience who were not aware of the problem and simply followed along to join in the fun, Wang Yang, who had never underestimated the 'Connect Summon' from the beginning, rationally analyzed the characteristics of this monster.

"A monster that requires two monsters of the same race as materials to appear. Although it only has 1000 attack points, since Cobra did this, it means that this monster should have something that I don't know about, and it is very powerful. The effect, right?"

At this moment, Wang Yang unconsciously thought of the face of You Ling, who was good at creating all kinds of miracles.

Sitting on the throne of the Duel King, thinking of the king here, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the other throne beside him.

However, the place where You Ling should have been sitting is now empty.

The throne hangs high, but the king is nowhere to be seen.

It was obvious that You Ling was planning some shocking conspiracy somewhere unknown to him.

"Sure enough, You Ling, are you secretly planning something we don't know about?"

"Well, forget it... Even if I know this, I can't stop you now, so just pretend I didn't see it."

He shook his head and got rid of all the confusing thoughts in his mind.

Wang Yang once again turned his attention to the duel field at this moment, trying to obtain more information about the 'Connection Summoning' from Cobra's operation.

As a duelist, especially a legendary duelist of his level, he naturally feels joy from the bottom of his heart for this constantly evolving duel.

Even in order not to be thrown too far away by You Ling, he had to witness this special duel until the end.

"Then, the magic card - [Mecha Force Reorganization] is activated!"

The central location of the duel arena.

Feeling the countless curious or admiring looks from around him, Cobra remained unmoved and took out a new magic card from his hand and activated it.

In the past, he had been to battlefields filled with artillery fire countless times.

Therefore, for Cobra, these noises at this moment are not even ordinary noises, and cannot cause any interference to his behavior at all.

"Based on the effect of this magic card, I discard a card in my hand and add two [Mecha] monsters with different card names from the deck to my hand.

我选择检索卡组里的【机甲要塞】（机械族/地/7星/攻击力：2500/守备力：1600），以及【机甲破坏预备兵】（机械族/暗/4星/攻击力：1200/守备力：1800）。”

"What? You actually retrieved two monsters in the deck at once?"

Watching the operation of the cobra opposite him, Saburo Marufuji couldn't help but be shocked.

Although activating the magic card called [Reorganization of Mecha Troops] requires discarding a card in your hand as a cost.

But the rewards of retrieving two cards at once are worth it!

Do not……

Considering that this is the effect of precise search, this is a huge profit, right?

"Next, I activate the effect of the monster in my hand - [Mecha Fortress]. By discarding the mechanical-type monsters in my hand whose total levels are 8 or higher, this card can be removed from my hand or graveyard. Special call.”

Showing the monster in his hand that he had just retrieved, Cobra spoke calmly and made such a declaration.

"Well, the [Mecha Destroyer Reserve] we just searched for is a 4-star monster, which means we have to discard another monster..." (End of Chapter)
