Chapter 864: Criminals Can Also Play Cards
On the other side of the ocean, in a brightly lit international city.
Perhaps the entire city's traffic was concentrated in one place, and the streets were blocked. Tens of thousands of people surrounded the white circular open-air arena, surrounded by pale white watchtowers, and searchlights cut through the night like golden swords.
Today was the highly anticipated annual finals of the Pro League. Nearly half of the people in the city gathered here, even those who couldn't get tickets.
The arena was overcrowded inside and outside, and the Kaiba Corp's hot air balloons with the "KC" logo echoed leisurely above the arena. A huge electronic screen hangs in the air, and on the screen are the contestants competing today.
What made this match so exciting was that one of its protagonists was a rising star in the professional scene.
It was a young man with silver-white hair and deep, sharp blue eyes. He always wore a smart and elegant white suit, with a confident but elegant smile on his handsome face, as if he was confident about everything.
Aster Phoenix, a rising star in the professional world. Although this was his first year entering the league, he has not lost a single game so far.
As a newcomer, Aster's journey surprised many experts. During his competition, he encountered strong opponents many times, and almost every time, as a newcomer, he was not favored by the experts.
An overseas professional commentator called "Old Immortal" claimed more than once that he felt it was time for the newcomer to hit a wall. But every time, Aster refreshed everyone's understanding, killing his opponents instantly with an almost impeccable performance, and severely slapped the professional commentators in the face.
In just one season, Aster has won himself a large number of fans, and it seemed that most of them were girls.
There is no way, handsome people sometimes have this kind of trouble.
Aster's handsomeness was also written into his character design. When he first appeared in Duel Academy in the anime, Asuka's two nymphomaniac roommates rebelled at the speed of light and ran to support Aster. The reason was simply "he is too handsome".
Even when Yuei Vu accidentally saw Aster in a TV interview, he had to admit that
Not bad, the young man is almost half as charming as me.
Although it is impossible to outperform me, it is still worthy of recognition.
Everyone was wondering when this newcomer, who was making his mark for the first time, would hit the wall. As a result, Aster miraculously set new records defeated powerful opponents time and time again, and actually won all the way.
He won more and more games until the entire professional league circle was full of his name. The headlines in newspapers and magazines, as well as people's daily topics, were almost inseparable from the name Aster Phoenix.
What follows was a question that everyone finally had to face-
-Is this guy going to win the championship directly?
Winning the world championship in the first season of entering the league is too ridiculous, right?
Then, under the spotlight, he actually made it this far, standing in the league finals.
All the spectators present felt that they were witnessing the birth of a new legend.
Today, Aster's opponent was a burly man with a bald head and a muscular body. He even wore a uniform unique to prisoners when he appeared.
According to the referee, this was the famous prisoner duelist Doctor Collector, a super-high IQ criminal with an IQ of 200, who was currently serving his sentence in prison!
The moment the host finished his introduction, the muscular man suddenly shouted loudly and used his monster-like muscle power to forcefully burst his clothes, tearing his tight clothes to pieces and exposing the strong muscles underneath.
Yes, thats right, felons serving time in prison these days could actually go to the arena and play cards after serving their sentences.
It could only be said that perhaps in the social system established under the leadership of the Kaiba Corp, the rights of playing cards were above all else. Maybe those in power thought it was too cruel and inhumane for a criminal in prison to serve so many years and not even be allowed to play cards, so they allowed him to play cards while serving his sentence.
There was even news that while Doctor Collector was in prison, he was also assisting the FBI. Maybe it was his cooperation that earned him the privilege of playing cards while serving his sentence.
Dueling crimes were also quite popular among gangs. Nowadays, many street gangsters dont bring guns but Duel Disks when they go out.
In recent years, FBI has been intensifying its efforts to crack down on the problem of transnational duel criminal groups. It was said that the agents of the relevant teams must not only be equipped with guns but also Duel Disks when on duty.
In the professional league finals of the second season of GX animation, the same Doctor Collector stepped onto the stage of the finals, but his opponent in the animation was DD, who was said to have been the world champion for ten consecutive years and was Aster's adoptive father, a villain possessed by "The Light of Destruction".
Of course, that part of the Light of Destruction had been eliminated by Yuei Vu six years ago, so there was no screentime for it here.
Therefore, it was Aster himself who replaced DD in the original history on the finals stage.
Doctor Collector stood on the playing field and looked at Aster, who was a full head shorter than him, and couldn't help but grin.
"The opponent in the finals is actually such a young kid. It seems that people are not groundless when they say that the level of the league is getting worse year by year."
Aster maintained his usual elegant smile and seemed not to take the opponent's pre-match trash talk at all. He just silently opened the duel disk, and the deck was quickly shuffled automatically in the slot.
He made a "please" gesture to indicate that he was ready.
"Tch, you're a pretentious brat." Doctor Collector was disdainful and opened the Duel Disk as well. "You will soon stop laughing."
"Duel!" x2
Doctor Collector, LP4000
Aster, LP 4000
"I'll go first, draw!" Aster said, "Activate Spell Card Take Over Five'! Send the top 5 cards of my Deck to the Graveyard.
Then I summon Destiny HERO Diamond Dude in attack position! "
[Destiny HERO Diamond Dude, ATK 1400]
"Diamond Dude's effect Excavate the top card of my Deck, and if it is a Normal Spell, send it to the GY, otherwise place it on the bottom of my Deck. During the Main Phase of my next turn, I can activate the effect of that Spell in my GY. "
If a real card player used the effect of "Diamond Dude", he may not be able to draw a Normal Spell Card nine times out of ten. But for a duelist like our Aster, throughout the entire animation, he has never failed to draw a Spell Card.
What I drew is the Normal Spell Card Destiny Draw. Aster said, The effect of Destiny Draw is to draw two cards from the deck at the cost of discarding one Destiny HERO.
But because of the effect of Diamond Dude', I can directly draw two cards next turn without discarding Destiny HERO'. "
He then drew another card.
"Set a card, I end my turn."
Doctor Collector couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the lone Diamond Dude and a set card on Aster's field.
"Haha, those people are bragging that you are a rising star in the duel world, but it seems like you are nothing more than that. With a lineup of this level, you will be instantly killed in front of me.
My turn, draw! "
Doctor Collector waved his hand, showing that a criminal would directly retaliate against society!
"Continuous Spell Dimensional Fissure'!" He played the first card, "As long as this card is on the field, all monsters sent to the graveyard by both sides will be banished instead!"
