"The ultimate form of Synchro... is it?"
Yugen smiled slightly, a sense of anticipation arising within him.
It's finally here.
The legendary Top-Level Bright Mirror Calm Water Heart, the ultimate Synchro, Triangular Accelerated Synchro. In the original history before being altered by ZONE, this was a new path pioneered by Yusei Fudo, later taught to Yusei by Antinomy after the timeline shift, prompting Yusei to realize the "Limit-breaking Accelerated Synchro" during the final battle.
In fact, Yugen had always been curious if Accelerated Synchro could only be performed while riding.
In the key duels of the 5DS animation, it was always conducted in the form of Riding Duels, and no one ever used the technique of Accelerated Synchro in non-riding, traditional standing duels.
Moreover, the animation showed that during Accelerated Synchro, the D-wheel Hand would fuse with the machine, riding at superluminal speed, with a quick flash of acceleration, completing a Synchro Summon upon reappearing. From this depiction, theoretically, it seems that Accelerated Synchro could only be performed while riding a D-Wheel.
But if that were true, Duelists of the Synchro Dimension would be at a significant disadvantage against Duelists from other dimensions in traditional standing duels. If you can't ride to summon your ace, you'd be in big trouble if invaded by a dimension devoid of riding!
Thus, Yugen had been pondering for a long time if it's possible to achieve Accelerated Synchro by running?
Theoretically, a D-Wheel is merely a tool for acceleration; the key to Synchro Summon lies in the perpetual motion machine within the D-Wheel releasing Yusei Particles. So what if a compact perpetual motion machine were built into the Duel Disc? Could a Duelist hypothetically perform an Accelerated Synchro without a D-Wheel, exceeding light speed with just their physical body?
But if that's the case, it sounds like the Duelist would turn directly into The Flash...
Yugen wryly smiled.
Forget it, better not overthink. In any case, it's his first time observing a "Triangular Accelerated Synchro" up close in actual combat, so he'll meticulously observe and record data, perhaps for further development in the future.
Antinomy: "Next, I Special Summon 'Technology Attribute: Drill Fish' from my hand!"
[Technology Attribute: Drill Fish, Attack Power 100]
"Technology Attribute: Drill Fish can be Special Summoned from the hand if there are only 'Technology Attribute' monsters on my field."
Antinomy explained.
"Level One, Adjusted Monster 'Technology Attribute: Gear Zombie'!
Level One, 'Technology Attribute: Drill Fish'!
Star-Tuning!"
[1+1=2]
"Restriction Remover 2 stars! Open the regulator! Navigation System, all clear!"
Antinomy raised his arm high.
"GO! Synchro Summon! COME ON—
—Technology Attribute: Swapping Dragonfly!!!"
[Technology Attribute: Swapping Dragonfly, Attack Power 300]
Yugen: "Two regular Synchro Monsters, one Synchro Adjusted... The preparations are finally complete, truly something to look forward to."
Antinomy: "Top-Level Bright Mirror Calm Water Heart!"
Though called Bright Mirror Calm Water, his Triangle Eagle was shrouded in a layer of red light, as if it were aflame. The D-Wheel advanced at full speed, as if a fireball was about to break through the sky.
"Restriction Remover, Max Star! Open the regulator, all clear! Infinite Power, breaking through spacetime, open the unknown world!"
The Triangle Eagle's roar reached its peak, and Antinomy appeared to be on fire.
"GO! Triangular Acceleration! COME ON—
—Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter!!!"
With acceleration, the Triangle Eagle seemed to transform into a beam of light, vanishing from the runway as a silver-blue whirlpool burst out in the center of the geometric galaxy data stream. The three body Technology Attributes became burning meteors during star-tuning, sparking energy in the spinning star tracks. In a flash, countless booster roars emerge from the torn Dimensional Rift. The mechanical giant, adorned in a crimson coating, descended through the rift, the impact wave forming a spiral whirlpool.
The streamlined armor, marked with energy conductive patterns, emitted quantum blue light from its visor, with its metal headdress continuously sparking arcs. Multiple complex armors displaying a red-black intersecting technological pattern, its arm joints periodically ejecting propulsion flames, the giant Lance Cannon in its hands made of alloy barrel, the photon energy extending from the barrel forming a blade edge, leaving spiral light traces in the air when swung.
Triangular Accelerated Synchro, Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter, summon!
[Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter, Attack Power 4000]
"Mr. Yugen, this is my full power now, Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter!"
Antinomy shouted.
"Next is this card!
High-speed Spell - Final Attack!"
A High-speed Spell emerged at his backfield, imbuing the silver-white energy storm entirely onto Lance Shooter.
"Final Attack can only be activated when your High-speed Count is eight or more!" Antinomy said, "Until the end of this turn, double the Attack Power of one monster on your field!
Double the Attack Power of 'Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter'!"
[Technology Attribute: Lance Shooter, Attack Power 4000→Attack Power 8000]
"Attack Power eight thousand?" Yugen clicked his tongue, "What a fright..."
Even Divine Flame Emperor Uriah let out a weak whine, as if to echo his master's sentiments.
Having a power of eight thousand, that's terrifying, who could ever contend with that...
At this moment, Yugen also confirmed his speculation. As expected, the opponent used "D.D. Crow" last turn to maintain an extra High-speed Count. Without banishing a Trap to shave off a thousand Attack Points of Divine Flame Emperor last turn, Antinomy's High-speed Count would have fallen to six after the attack, rising to only seven this turn.
High-speed Spell - Final Attack requires at least eight High-speed Counts to activate, and without the groundwork laid last turn, this turn's comeback would not exist.
