# Chapter 204: Ultimate Burning Soul, Red Supernova Dragon
"Then let's go!" Bruno roared. "I activate the effect of the Spell Card, TAKEOVER5, in my Graveyard! I banish this card and a card with the same name from my Deck to draw one card!"
"I end my turn!"
"My turn! Draw!" After Bruno ended his turn, Jack wasted no words and immediately began.
"I activate the effect of Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend! Once per turn, I destroy all other cards on the field! This turn, my other monsters cannot attack."
"Crimson Blazing Flames!" Jack roared, and the Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend beside him transformed into a self-destructing vehicle, charging toward the Cosmic Blazar Dragon in the sky.
"At this moment, the effect of Cosmic Blazar Dragon activates!" Bruno raised his hand without a hint of panic. "I banish this face-up card to negate the activation of your monster's effect and destroy it!"
As Bruno's words fell, the Cosmic Blazar Dragon in the sky let out a roar before dissolving into falling starlight. The Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend, enveloped in flames, was instantly destroyed within the cascading light.
"So that's the power of a Level 12 monster?" Jack frowned. "An effect that negates and destroys... and the most troublesome part is that banishing itself until the End Phase is the cost, making it difficult to even counter?"
If Yūga Hōzumi had heard Jack's thoughts at this moment, he would surely have retorted, "Do you even understand the caliber of the monster at the apex of Accel Synchro—the Cosmic Runaway Dragon?!"
In Yūga Hōzumi's previous life, there was always a saying that even if the duelist loses, Cosmic Blazar Dragon never does. This referred to its terrifying ability to escape any situation!
"A major crisis! Jack's ace monster was dealt with the moment his turn began. What will he do? Is the legend of Jack Atlas going to end today?"
"What a joke!" Jack couldn't help but yell back at the Female Commentator. "This is just the beginning! I am the King! How could I be defeated so easily?!"
"I activate the Spell Card, Monster Reborn!" Jack said, revealing the card he had just drawn.
"Revive! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!"
"Huh? Why not revive the stronger Tyrant?" the Female Commentator asked, stunned to see Scarlight roaring as it returned to Jack's side.
"Bruno, you must have hated me once, too, right?" Jack said slowly, looking at Scarlight, now back at his side.
"I, born a commoner, did nothing after becoming King, allowing the commoners to continue their suffering."
Bruno remained silent, wanting to hear what Jack truly had to say.
"I originally thought that my ascent to the throne, a path littered with bones, would inspire the oppressed commoners."
"But, ridiculously, they saw me as an unattainable idol rather than a role model to follow. From that moment, I knew that I alone was not enough," Jack said.
"So, from that day on, I poured all my energy into the Double Tuning inheritance I had acquired, making myself even stronger. At the same time, I was waiting—waiting for someone to appear who could join me in transmitting the will to resist to every commoner through dueling."
"What is he saying?" In City Hall, the Five Elders, who had been watching the duel, turned pale with shock.
"It seems you weren't able to control Jack Atlas after all," Roger said with a smile. "I told you. A duelist like Jack... how could he ever be controlled by you?"
"After all, for a duelist, nothing can convey one's feelings more powerfully than the duel itself," Jack said slowly after a pause.
"And during those days of waiting, the only one accompanying me was Scarlight!" Jack stated.
As if sensing its master's emotions, Scarlight roared, stirring up waves of flame.
"Fortunately, my wait is finally over. You've come before me, and I can feel your blazing will! So, as the King, how can I not respond in kind?!"
"I Summon Crimson Resonator in Attack Position!" Jack roared, slamming a card from his hand onto his Duel Disk.
"I activate the effect of Crimson Resonator!"
"Since the only other monster I control is a DARK Dragon Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon up to two other 'Resonator' monsters from my hand or Deck!"
"I activate the effect of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring from my hand! When an opponent activates an effect that Special Summons a monster from the Deck, I can send this card to the Graveyard to negate that effect!" Bruno countered, activating the second Ash Blossom he had just drawn.
"Excellent!" Jack, his play obstructed, wasn't annoyed. Instead, the blazing fire in his eyes burned even more intensely. "That's how it should be! A duelist's spirit can only be unleashed through confrontation!"
"But this is not enough to extinguish my burning soul!"
"I activate the effect of Red Rising Dragon in my Graveyard!"
"I banish this card from my Graveyard to target two Level 1 'Resonator' monsters in my Graveyard and Special Summon them!"
"Return! Chain Resonator! Synkron Resonator!"
As the two monsters appeared on Jack's field, the intensely burning fire around him reached its peak!
"This is the enlightenment I've gained during all these years of waiting for you, Bruno!"
"I tune my Level 8 Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend with my Level 2 Crimson Resonator, Level 1 Chain Resonator, and Level 1 Synkron Resonator!"
[2+1+1+8=12]
The blazing fire around Jack instantly spread, igniting the sides of the road. Within this path of flames, Scarlight roared, fusing with the three Tuner monsters that had transformed into fiery rings!
"Ultimate Burning Soul! Welcome the King's three sages! The crimson star is eternal; only the fool walks toward destruction! A rampant soul etched into the world at the dawn of creation! Triple Tuning! Level 12! Descend! Red Supernova Dragon!"
World-rending flames soared, and from within the raging inferno, a dragon's roar echoed through heaven and earth.
From within the flames, a pair of crimson wings slowly spread, and a great dragon whose might was in no way inferior to Cosmic Blazar Dragon was born anew!
Red Supernova Dragon ATK: 4000
"What?! He actually managed to discover the future of Double Tuning from that incomplete inheritance, just by his own exploration?!" In City Hall, the Five Elders spoke in disbelief, their eyes practically bursting from their sockets.
"Of course. You didn't really think that truly pure duelists could be controlled by you filthy capitalists, did you?" At that moment, an inopportune voice rang out.
"Who?" The Five Elders all looked in unison toward the source of the voice.
At the entrance to the grand hall, Yūga Hōzumi and Kiryu slowly walked in.
"I think Neo Domino City's streetlights are missing a few ornaments. I wonder if you gentlemen are prepared?" Kiryu said slowly, his gaze fixed on the Five Elders.
