Hunter Pace
Two days later, Genesis had defeated the other two participants who were against it, and finally he had to face Hunter Pace.
_____________________________________________________________
His Duel was watched by a large crowd. However, those who watched the Duel closely were Yusei, Jack, Crow, Goodwin, and Smith.
On the satellite, Yusei surrounded by his friends and Crow stared at the TV attentively. Yusei and Crow who knew Genesis from childhood hoped for his victory.
In a room isolated from the satellite, Jack was staring at the TV with different thoughts.
Atop New Domino City, Goodwin was also watching the Duel intently.
Smith, she mingled with onlookers to spy on Genesis.
____________________________________________________________
As she waited for Hunter and Genesis to enter, Smith suddenly noticed two people creeping into the spectator seats.
A few feet from her, she recognized her friend and roommate, Bisha, talking with a young girl.
"But what is she doing here?"
Smith looked at Bisha in surprise, she knew that Bisha had few friends, and that she rarely attended this kind of noisy event.
As she was about to get up to go to the washroom, an explosion of smoke filled the stadium.
______________________________________________________________
"Everyone is listening! The Duel everyone was waiting for has arrived! I will stop talking, because I know like me, you can't wait to see the Duel!"
Two Duel Runners came out of the smoke, both were tall, one white and one black.
Raising a fist in the air, Hunter shouted, "Here is your champion! The unstoppable!" The invincible! Hunter Pace! "
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the crowd gave a deafening ovation.
Looking at Genesis with a big smile, he said, "I'm the champion kid. You won't take my place."
Genesis glanced at him, and then ignored him indifferently.
"Tch! Let's fight!"
"" Turbo Duel !! Enabled ""
[Genesis: 4000 LP: 5 cards: 0 Speed Counter]
[Hunter: 4000 LP: 5 cards: 0 Speed Counter]
"It's mine! I draw!" Genesis said.
[Genesis: 4000 LP: 6 cards: 1 Speed Counter]
"I start my by summoning in attack position [Maiden with Eyes of Blue]."
"Finally I end my turn by placing two cards face down."
"Hahaha! It's mine then!" Hunter said.
[Hunter: 4000 LP: 6 cards: 1 Speed Counter]
"First, I activate my turbo magic card, [Unfair Summon]. If my opponent has a monster and I don't have any, then I can Special Summon a special monster from my hand, when I have one. Speed Counter. "
"Come on! [Burning Skull Head]!"
A flaming skull appeared on the ground.
"Hehehe, then my monster's effect activates. When this card is Special Summoned from my hand, my opponent takes 1000 damage."
A fireball hit Genesis, who remained indifferent.
[Genesis: 3000 LP: 3 cards: 0 Speed Counter]
Having lost 1000 LP, Genesis lost a Speed Counter.
"I normally summon [Mezuki] next, and then attack your monster with my [Burning Skull Head]!"
As Hunter finished his sentence, Genesis intervened.
"I activate my monster's effect. When this card is targeted by an attack, I can negate the attack, and if I do, I change the combat position of this card, then I Special Summon 1." Blue-Eyed White Dragon "from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
Genesis moved [Maiden Whith Eyes of Blue] to defense, and then ...
"Come on! [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"
"GRAAAA !!" Blue lightning descended from the sky, which revealed itself to be a white dragon.
"Oooooooh! Here is the famous white dragon from Genesis! Dear spectators, if you think your TV has a problem, it isn't! It's just that this monster is amazing !!!"
"Tch! Then it will be Mezuki to take care of your monster."
"Mezuki, destroy [Maiden With Eyes of Blue]!"
[Maiden With Eyes of Blue] was destroyed, and only [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] remained.
"I put a card face down, and I end my turn." Hunter said with a laugh.
"It's mine then." Genesis drew a card.
[Genesis: 3000 LP: 4 cards: 1 Speed Counter]
Looking at his cards, a strategy appeared in front of Genesis. A strategy that will shock all Duelists, thanks to the card he will summon.
"I summon from my hand, [The White Stone of Legend], then I synchronize it with [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], to give birth to a dragon from the depths of the galaxy!"
"Appear! [Azur-Eyes Silver Dragon]!"
A silver dragon appeared above Genesis, hovering over his Duel Runner.
"Oooooooh! Here is another awesome dragon! Dear spectators! I hope you do not miss a thing of this splendid Duel!"
Suddenly Hunter chuckled.
"Hey! Don't get excited so quickly Kid! I'm activating my trap card, [Torrential Tribute]! When one or more monsters are Summoned, this card activates and destroys all monsters on the field."
Both of Hunter's monsters were destroyed, but as Hunter stared at [Azur-Eyes Silver Dragon] with a sneer, he saw that he did not destroy himself.
"What - What is going on ?!" Hunter said with a little panic.
Genesis gave a thin smile, and explained.
"Do you see champion, if this card is Special Summoned (including Synchro Summon), until the end of the next turn, Dragon-Type monsters I currently control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects."
"Which means ..." Hunter said uncertainly.
"Right! My dragon stays on the ground!"
Hunter's eyes widened
"Now, [Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon], Azure Blast!"
[Azur-Eyes Silver Dragon] charged a direct attack towards Hunter which he suffered
{4000 - 2500 = 1500}
[Hunter: 1500 LP: 2 cards: 0 Speed Counter]
"Then I finish my turn. It's yours." Genesis said.
In silence, Hunter drew a card.
[Hunter: 1500 LP: 3 cards: 1 Speed Counter]
"Anything activates [Mezuki] 's effect, from my Graveyard. I can banish this card from my Graveyard, then I can choose 1 Zombie monster in my Graveyard; then Special Summon it."
"Come on! [Burning Skull Head]!"
Hunter placed his monster in defense position and then summoned another monster in defense position.
"I then put [Pyramid Turtle] in a defensive position."
[Pyramid Turtle: Earth / Zombie: ATK 1200 / DEF 1400]
"Finally, I put a card face down, and I end my turn."
"It's mine, I draw." Genesis said.
[Genesis: 3000 LP: 4 cards: 2 Speed Counter]
"This is my Standby Phase, which allows me to activate the effect of [Azur-Eyes Silver Dragon]. Once per turn, during my Standby Phase, I can target 1 Normal Monster in my Graveyard, then I can Special Summon the monster. "
"Come on! [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"
"I Normally Summon [The White Stone of Legend] in attack position."
Seeing the three monsters on the ground, Genesis smiled. He took a card and held up his hand.
"I activate a card from my hand!"
"[ Ancient Chant ] !"
A brilliant shine filled the arena.
This card adds 1 "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand, and if you do so, you can Tribute 1 monster during your Main Phase this turn, in addition to your Summon / Pose. Normal
From his Deck, a golden card appeared.
"I sacrifice from my land, [The White Stone of Legend], [Azur-Eyes Silver Dragon], and [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], to summon ..."
Hunter who was standing in front of Genesis couldn't understand anything. He was panicking, because although he had the advantage with his two monsters, and his trap card, he had a hunch that he was going to witness something big.
"... [The Winged Dragon of Râ]!"
A golden holy light filled the stadium, blinding the crowd. Overwhelming pressure emanated from that light.
After the golden glow disappeared, a dragon-like creature of immeasurable size appeared floating atop the arena.
[The Winged Dragon of Râ: Divine / Divine-Beast: ATK 6100 / DEF 6100]
"6100 ATK ?! What is that monster!" Hunter yelled, staring at his screen on the Duel Runner in amazement. He looked at Genesis through his rearview mirror, which kept an indifferent face, however, a thin smile graced his lips.
"It's not a monster ... It's a GOD!"
"Now, [The Winged Dragon of Râ], destroy his [Burning Skull Head]! Sun Burst!"
Nervously, Hunter activated his trap card, which he wanted to use to destroy Genesis' dragons.
"I activate [Mirror Force], when you declare an attack, I destroy all Attack Position monsters on your field."
Hunter calmed down, believing he had won. However, he saw that [The Winged Dragon of Râ] attack was still heading towards his monster.
"What? Impossible, your monster must be destroyed-" Hunter, who did not understand how [The Winged Dragon of Ra] was not destroyed, saw an active trap card on the Genesis field.
Trap Stun.
This card disables the effects of all trap cards activated this turn.
{6100 - 1000 = 5100}
[Hunter: 0000 LP: 1 card: 0 Speed Counter]
Hunter due to the shock, lost control of his Duel Runner, and he began to spin on the track. Genesis continued his run to watch the crowd.
Since his reincarnation, he was finally on stage, a stage where the world of Duel is central.
It's finish ! The Duel is over in style, my dear spectators! New Domino City has a new champion! Applaud him! "
Hearing the applause, Genesis who had never been able to be congratulated because of cards in his past life, could finally be proud in this life.
Raising his fist in the air, he proudly announced the arrival of a new champion.
__________________________________________________________
Watching Genesis become the new champion. Bisha and Akiza unconsciously hugged each other with joy, before clumsily separating. However, he was happily watching Genesis. Bisha was the most surprised, she didn't know the strength of Genesis, and she was really shocked at the strength of Genesis, especially his last move. This last summoned monster was ... impressive.
Behind them, separated by several seats, Smith stared in shock at Genesis. She would never have believed that Genesis, an inhabitant of the satellite, would become champion of New Domino City.
She began to realize that imprisoning Genesis would be much more difficult than expected.
"I have to contact him. If I can't imprison him, then I will follow Goodwin's orders, and put him in contact with him. I will follow orders, then it will be none of my business."
Picking up his things, Smith left the stadium with more questions than answers. For Smith, the more she knew about Genesis, the thicker the mystery grew.
________________________________________________________________
Behind the scenes, Bisha ran and jumped on Genesis in glee. Genesis hugged his waist with a smile, and then he motioned to Akiza, who was a little more shy. After the three of them chatted for a while, a man dressed as a bodyguard showed up, inviting Genesis to an interview.
________________________________________________________________
Sitting in front of a hundred flashes, Genesis calmly stared at the reporters. With some authority, he answered several questions, but gave no information about his future plans.
