Chapter 35
Silence Fell Upon All

The roar of the Beast shook the entire arena.

A powerful vortex swept across the field.

Both 【Returning Zombie】 on Manjoume Jun's field and 【String Beast - Kumogus】 on Yusei Fudo's field were caught in the massive vortex at the same time.

"What, what's happening?!"

Manjoume Jun looked at the scene before him in terror.

Boom!

The explosion created a thick cloud of dust, instantly obscuring the vision of everyone present.

"What happened? I can't see anything on the field!"

"What's going on, what's the situation on the field?"

"I don't know!"

The audience below gasped in unison.

Asuka and Rei Otome were also anxiously watching the situation on the stage.

"Just now, Yusei Fudo activated a magic card, right?"

Asuka raised her arm to shield herself from the dust flying from the stage, frowning.

"Yes, that's right, that magic card, it seems like it can Special Summon something from the Deck," Rei nodded, nervously watching the situation on stage.

Special Summon a monster...

Asuka looked at the Dueling Arena.

The dust on the Dueling Arena gradually dissipated.

Two tall figures appeared in front of the audience.

"Roar!"

On Manjoume Jun's field, a dragon's roar echoed.

Accompanied by intense lightning, a white dragon with three heads appeared on Manjoume Jun's field.

On Yusei Fudo's field, a black demon with two large tentacles on its forehead appeared.

The two monsters roared at each other, their terrifying aura chilling the hearts of those present.

【Thunder Beast - Thunder Dragon King】

【Level: 9】

【ATK: 3300, DEF: 2100】

【Multiverse Beast - Radian】

【Level: 7】

【ATK: 2800, DEF: 2500】

"Another, another two new Beasts!"

"Damn, what's going on with Yusei Fudo's Deck?!"

"They said he was the 'Strongest Hero', how can a hero look like that!"

The audience below was going crazy.

They say that Yusei Fudo is the user of the 'Strongest Hero'.

But what kind of hero has a monster face?

"Uh? Wait a minute, did I see wrong?" Suddenly, Rei blinked her big eyes, looking at the positions of the two monsters on the stage in confusion, "The monster on Yusei's side, its Attack Power seems to be lower than the monster on the other side, right?"

Rei Otome's words made Asuka pause.

She quickly looked at the stage and found that it was true, just as Rei Otome had said.

The Thunder Dragon King, with its higher Attack Power, was actually standing on Manjoume Jun's side!

"Hey hey, Yusei Fudo made a mistake, right?"

"Yeah, why is the monster with higher Attack Power on the other side's field?"

"Is this a Dueling genius? Even such a low-level mistake can be made?"

Audience members in the stands also began to notice the problem.

【Beast-Hindering Sleep】.

This card can destroy all monsters on the field and Special Summon two Beasts from the Deck to both sides of the field.

The order in which the monsters appear is chosen by the card's activator.

In other words.

This was simply a personal mistake on Yusei Fudo's part, leading to the monster with higher Attack Power appearing on the opponent's field!

"Ha... hahaha!"

Manjoume Jun gradually recovered from his shock.

He laughed triumphantly, and he, who was on the verge of despair, felt like he was about to turn the tables.

"Too bad, Yusei Fudo! You actually made such a low-level mistake! You summoned the monster with higher Attack Power to my field!"

"This monster with 3300 Attack Power, I'll take it!"

Manjoume Jun clenched his fist tightly, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

This monster will be your downfall, Yusei Fudo!

"Ah, that's right."

Yusei Fudo shrugged.

"And, by the effect of 【Beast-Hindering Sleep】, the Special Summoned monsters must be in Attack Position, and the turn they can attack, they must declare an attack."

"That is to say, whether it's me or you, as long as there is a Beast on the field, we must declare an attack."

Yusei Fudo emphasized again.

"So, so what! Your 【Radian】 has much lower Attack Power than my 【Thunder Dragon King】, right?"

Manjoume Jun frowned.

"Even if you have to attack, it's your monster that will be destroyed!"

"Yes, that's true." Yusei Fudo nodded, waving his hand, "Therefore, I open my face-down card."

"Continuous Trap, 【Beast Capture Operation】!"

"Once per turn, you can change one 【Beast】 monster on the field to face-down Defense Position! And place one Beast counter on this card!"

A red Trap appeared on the field.

A miniature battle tank appeared on the field.

Like the special forces battle tanks in a special effects film, they instantly surrounded the giant monster, Radian.

Boom, boom, boom.

Several cannon fire sounds rang out, and Radian's body quickly shrunk into a ball, turning into a card face-down on the field.

"Huh? Why did it change to face-down Defense Position? Didn't the effect of the magic card say that monsters on the field cannot change form?" Rei Otome asked in confusion.

Asuka smiled bitterly and explained, "Because the effect that prevents the monster from changing form restricts the player themselves. The player themselves cannot change the monster's attack or defense position."

"But if you use the effect of a card, you can change the monster's attack or defense position. Yusei Fudo used this point to avoid the mandatory battle phase."

"Uh? Is that so?" Rei Otome suddenly realized.

She never thought there were so many complicated rules in Duel Monsters...

"Even so, Radian's Defense Power is only 2500. Next turn, I can use Thunder Dragon King to destroy your monster!"

Manjoume Jun snorted coldly, a sneer playing on his lips, "You're just delaying your defeat."

"Ah, is that so?"

Yusei Fudo smiled faintly, "Don't forget, I still have a face-down card."

"Huh?"

Manjoume Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at the other face-down card beside Yusei Fudo.

This card...

"Activate Trap Card! 【Loaded Cylinder Cannon Nest】!"

"From your Deck or Graveyard, choose one 【Magic Cylinder】 and place it face-down on your field!"

A sinister smile spread across Yusei Fudo's lips.

Before Manjoume Jun's despairing eyes, he placed a Magic Cylinder face-down from his Deck on the field.

"Manjoume-kun, next turn, you have to attack me."

Yusei Fudo smiled and pressed the button to end his turn.

"My turn, end."

As Yusei Fudo ended his turn.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.

......

ps: This deck is a pretty shady Magic Cylinder Beast Deck, you can pair it with Skill Drain, Big Bang, and Grass is Greener for a higher success rate. It's guaranteed to let your opponent enjoy the thrill of the duel.
