Chapter 37: Speed 37 – The Final Round

[True Next-Generation Prediction Machine]
[1-Star]
[Dark Attribute/Spellcaster-Type]
[ATK/DEF: 300/300]

“Whummmmmmmmmmmmm——”

The True Next-Generation Turbo Man aimed the device on his chest diagonally upward. A swirling beam of intense light formed a ring, which rapidly expanded into a pillar of light. A small mechanical robot, carrying old parts on its back, emerged from the light pillar and leaped lightly onto the battlefield, providing support.

“Entering battle phase!”

“True Next-Generation Turbo Man!!”

“Attack the Goblin Assault Force!!!”

“Boommmmmmmmmmmmm——”

Following You Qing’s command, the strange turbo device, originally used to summon allies, transformed into a laser cannon. A blinding flash erupted, instantly annihilating the Goblin legion that had been fast asleep!

Another card shattered, but this time, several scattered fragments drifted past You Qing’s eyes on the wind.

That’s right.

You Qing was now behind Tis·Klide!

With the VDC (Vehicle Duel Championship) progress exceeding seventy percent, he only needed to navigate a few winding turns to complete the lap.

If he could once again overtake Tis·Klide, You Qing could achieve a special victory unique to high-speed duels—a differential victory!

Turbulent air currents swirled around Tis·Klide’s ears, but he was more concerned about the pursuing sounds from behind. Those sounds warned him—if this continued, he might become the most humiliating loser in this black market duel!

“Damn it…”

“To lose with a huge advantage in D-Wheel performance due to a differential victory…”

“I won’t allow it!!”

Like a cornered beast, Tis·Klide roared, revealing a desperate card:

“During your End Phase, I activate the continuous trap card—Maximum Throttle!!”

“As long as this card is on the field, each player gains an extra Speed Counter during each Standby Phase!!”

“Beep beep beep beep——————”

[Tis·Klide, SPC: 1→3]

Maximum Throttle?!

You Qing was startled, but quickly understood the man’s intentions.

This was a last resort to prevent a differential victory!

First, there was a configuration gap in their D-Wheels; each SPC point resulted in a twenty to thirty percent difference in acceleration. With the same number of Speed Counters, Tis·Klide had a greater advantage.

Second, You Qing’s SPC was about to reach its maximum; once it hit twelve, his speed couldn’t increase further.

Facing the differential victory progress approaching eighty percent, Tis·Klide could only use this method to barely survive. If he could last until You Qing’s next turn, he could stabilize the situation and, at least for a short time, wouldn’t have to worry about losing through a differential victory.

“My turn! Draw!” Tis·Klide revealed his newly drawn card, “SP·Pot of Greed!!”

“Can only be activated when you control two or more Speed Counters!!”

“Return five monsters from your Graveyard to your Deck, then draw two cards!!”

“Set Attack Position Summon—Trident Warrior!!”

“Activate Trident Warrior’s effect; when this card is successfully summoned, Special Summon one Level 3 monster from your hand!!”

“I choose—Sword Saint!!!”

Tis·Klide slammed down his last card, shouting loudly.

“Thanks to the effect of SP·Pot of Greed, I returned the Unwavering Warrior to the Extra Deck!!”

“Therefore, I can Synchro Summon again!!”

“A Level 4 Trident Warrior and a Level 3 Tuner monster—Sword Saint!!”

“Blades of Ruin!!”

“Howl and flash in the whirlwind of madness!!!”

[Unwavering Warrior]
[7-Star]
[Earth Attribute/Warrior-Type]
[ATK/DEF: 2400/2100]

The desert swordsman wielding twin blades returned. Tis·Klide glanced at You Qing’s field, secretly calculating.

If he attacked the Level 4 monster, he could inflict damage…

However, since the battle damage wouldn’t reach a thousand, it wouldn’t reduce his Speed Counters…

Therefore, instead of eliminating a meaningless small fry, it was better to take out the one-star Tuner monster to prevent him from Synchro Summoning next turn!!

“That’s decided then!!” Tis·Klide gestured towards the True Next-Generation Prediction Machine in Defense Position, “Unwavering Warrior!! Crush that one-star trash!!”

“Cut off the enemy’s hope of Synchro Summoning!!”

“Desert Sword Whirlwind!!!”

“Swish swish swish swish——————”

A dazzling sword technique unfolded on the battlefield. The Unwavering Warrior spun into a whirlwind of blades, charging towards the small robot behind the car. In a blink of an eye, the True Next-Generation Prediction Machine was hacked dozens of times!!

The sounds of shattering explosions echoed near You Qing’s car, but didn’t affect his speed.

Ending his turn, Tis·Klide chuckled inwardly with satisfaction.

Now, both sides were exhausted.

He had no cards left in his hand, and the kid only had one.

The Unwavering Warrior possessed powerful battle resistance; even if the True Next-Generation Turbo Man’s attack doubled, it wouldn’t fear it!!

For Tis·Klide, the so-called crisis was over.

Although the current differential progress had reached over eighty percent, from the next turn onwards, the increase would slow down until the VDC progress bar regressed!

Without the worry of a differential victory, he, with the LP advantage, naturally became the master of this game.

Ultimately…

This was still a one-sided vent of anger!!

Tis·Klide sneered at the rearview mirror, but the sight that appeared in it made him suddenly freeze.

“That kid… what’s he doing?!” A sense of unease suddenly arose in Tis·Klide’s heart.

You Qing was showing a gesture— “One”!

“The duel ends here,” You Qing declared coldly. “This will be the last turn of this duel!!”

“I will not only defeat you with a differential victory!!”

“But also empty your LP at the moment I achieve the differential victory!!”

Tis·Klide’s heart pounded.

This…how is that possible?!

He still had 4000 LP, but that kid only had one card left!!

“Beep beep beep beep——————”

When the turn came to You Qing again, he used Tis·Klide’s continuous trap, Maximum Throttle, to push his SPC to its peak!

The D-Wheel, assembled from scrap metal, roared like a dragon at that moment. High-speed air currents flowed past, even creating faint sonic booms!

You Qing played his only remaining card, shouting against the intense wind pressure:

“My turn!!”

“Activate the Speed Spell Card—SP·High-Speed Draw!!”

“Can only be activated when SPC reaches twelve. Draw two cards from your Deck!!”
