# Chapter 207: Collision, Fierce Confrontation
"I activate the effect of T.G. Propeller Snake! Once per turn, when this card is successfully summoned, I can target one Level 4 or lower T.G. monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it!"
"Revive! T.G. Booster Raptor!"
"When a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I activate the effect of Satellite Synchron from my hand! I Special Summon this card!"
"When a Level 4 or lower monster is successfully Special Summoned, I activate the effect of T.G. Warwolf from my hand! I Special Summon this card!"
"I tune the Level 1 T.G. Booster Raptor with the Level 4 T.G. Propeller Snake!"
[4+1=5]
"Limiter released, Level 5! Boosters at 120%! Network restored, range corrected, all systems go! Go! Synchro Summon! Come on! T.G. Power Gladiator!"
"I tune the Level 3 T.G. Warwolf with the Level 2 Satellite Synchron!"
[2+3=5]
"Limiter released, Level 5! Booster activated, check! Incline angle, check! Ground support, all clear! Go! Synchro Summon! Level 5! Come on! Synchro Tuner Monster, T.G. Wonder Magician!"
T.G. Power Gladiator ATK: 2300
T.G. Wonder Magician ATK: 1900
At the end of the technologically advanced Path of Stars, a sorceress in a robe and a barbarian warrior wielding a giant axe leaped forth one after another. After T.G. Wonder Magician appeared, she lightly waved her hand, sending a wave of energy toward Jack's back row.
"I activate T.G. Wonder Magician's effect, which triggers on its Synchro Summon! I target one Spell or Trap Card on your field and destroy it!" Bruno pointed toward the Continuous Trap in Jack's back row. "I choose to destroy the Continuous Trap, Red Screen!"
"This way, you can't restrict my attacks anymore!" Bruno stated.
"What? Are you planning to defeat my Red Supernova Dragon with an attack?" Jack said. "Even with its effects negated by Skill Drain, Red Supernova Dragon's attack is still the same as your Divine Starlight Dragon - Stardust Zero. Are you aiming for mutual destruction?"
"However, as long as Divine Starlight Dragon - Stardust Zero is on the field, each of my cards cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn," Bruno stated. "So, only your monster will be destroyed! Battle!"
"Divine Starlight Dragon - Stardust Zero, attack Red Supernova Dragon!"
As Bruno's words fell, Divine Starlight Dragon - Stardust Zero let out a majestic cry, transforming into a shooting star and plummeting toward Red Supernova Dragon.
Although Red Supernova Dragon was weakened by Bruno's trap and in a vulnerable state, it fearlessly transformed into blazing fire and charged forward. It knew its master would protect it.
"I activate the Trap Card, Attack Invincibility! I select one monster on the field; for the rest of this Battle Phase, it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects." As expected, at the moment the two collided, Jack revealed a set card in his back row.
Amidst the flames burning on Red Supernova Dragon's body, a golden light flashed. The two dragons collided fiercely, sparks and starlight showering down like fine rain, illuminating the night sky of Neo Domino City as if it were day.
The clash between the two titanic dragons lasted only for an instant. Since their ATK was equal, neither could defeat the other. They both roared in frustration and retreated simultaneously.
"Then, I'll end my turn." Unable to destroy Red Supernova Dragon, which served as Jack's barrier, Bruno's other two monsters clearly couldn't break through Jack's defenses. He had no choice but to end his turn.
"At this moment, I activate the Trap, The Great Soul! If there is a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster on the field, I can Special Summon up to two 'Resonator' monsters or one Level 1 Dragon-Type monster from my Deck!" The moment Bruno declared the end of his turn, Jack immediately activated the last set card in his back row.
"Appear! Crimson Resonator! Forced Resonator!"
"During the End Phase, Cosmic Blazar Dragon will return." Bruno raised a hand. A majestic dragon's cry echoed through the void as the rising stardust gathered once more, and Cosmic Blazar Dragon returned.
Cosmic Blazar Dragon ATK: 4000
"Because your turn has ended, Red Supernova Dragon's effect is restored! It gains 500 ATK for each Tuner monster in my Graveyard! There are three Tuner monsters in my Graveyard, so Red Supernova Dragon's ATK increases by 1500!"
Red Supernova Dragon ATK: 4000 → 5500
"My turn! I draw!" Jack drew a card.
"At this moment, I activate the effect of Shooting Star Dragon T.G. - Expansion from the Graveyard! During your opponent's turn, if this card is in the Graveyard, I can Tribute two Synchro Monsters on the field to Special Summon this card!"
"I Tribute T.G. Wonder Magician and T.G. Power Gladiator! Return! Shooting Star Dragon T.G. - Expansion!"
Beneath Bruno's two monsters, an ethereal, circuit-like magic circle slowly appeared. Under its influence, the two monsters transformed into ten rings of starlight. Moments later, Shooting Star Dragon T.G. - Expansion returned, roaring from within the rings.
Shooting Star Dragon T.G. - Expansion ATK: 3300
"I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Avarice! I return five monsters from my Graveyard—Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend, Crimson Resonator, Chain Resonator, and Synchro Clone Resonator—to the Deck, then draw two cards!"
"Returning Tuner monsters from the Graveyard to the Deck?" Bruno was taken aback. "This way, your Red Supernova Dragon loses its attack boost. Its ATK will return to the original 4000."
Red Supernova Dragon ATK: 5500 → 4000
"That's right. My monster has temporarily lost its power," Jack said, nodding after drawing two cards. "But if I didn't do this, my hand would have no way to defeat all three of your dragons at once. Sometimes, for the sake of ultimate victory, you must temporarily give things up. This is a truth I learned during the days I waited for you, being ordered around by those ridiculous old geezers."
Bruno fell silent for a moment. "My apologies," he said.
"If you're truly sorry, then show me your full strength in this duel!" Jack growled, revealing the cards he had drawn.
"Since I control a Fiend-Type Tuner monster with 1500 or less ATK, I can Special Summon Wildwind from my hand!"
"I tune the Level 2 Crimson Resonator with the Level 4 Wildwind!"
[2+4=6]
"The Crimson Dragon illuminates the path ahead! Synchro Summon! Level 6! Descend! Red Rising Dragon!"
From within the burning rings of starlight, a giant, completely crimson dragon appeared with a roar.
Red Rising Dragon ATK: 2100
Sorry everyone. After finishing a business trip today, I got some bad news on the train from Changsha back to Shenzhen—the train could only go as far as Guangzhou. It completely threw me for a loop, and I didn't find a place to stay in Guangzhou until 9:30 PM. For those of you who auto-subscribed to the next chapter, please refresh the page. My apologies!
