Chapter 1059: Number Attack

【Elemental HERO Brave Neos, ATK 2700】

"Actually fusing from the deck..."

Taniguchi showed an unhappy expression.

"Tch, what a convenient and cheating Fusion Card."

"You're too kind, this is the new power of my new universe partners," Judai smiled. "However, powerful power also comes with risks. As a price, in the turn Neos Fusion is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters in any other way."

Taniguchi: "..."

This restriction is quite fatal in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! environment where all decks generally rely on a large number of Special Summons, but in the environment speed of this era, this restriction and the benefits it brings are completely disproportionate.

After all, even without the self-restriction of Special Summoning, it is already quite good for current decks to summon one Fusion ace in a turn. Neos Fusion allows materials to be fused from the deck, arbitrary fusion plus precise Graveyard dumping; under such huge benefits, a mere restriction of not being able to Special Summon can almost be ignored.

"And Brave Neos's power is more than that," Judai said. "Battle! Use 'Elemental HERO Brave Neos' to attack the face-down monster!"

The arm blade of Brave Neos glowed with starlike light, and he flew towards the face-down card on the enemy's field. At the moment of contact, three ancient stone statues covered in cracks broke out of the bottom of the card, and each stone statue face was rigid and cold. Their lower jaws opened mechanically, and dangerous red light lit up deep in their throat-like gun barrels.

【Stone Statue of the Aztecs, DEF 2000】

"Boom, boom, boom!" Three crimson fire pillars spewed out from the mouths of the three human-faced stone statues, intertwining into a death grid, but when they touched the silver-white body of Neos, they were washed away, just like water washing a steel plate, without any effect.

Neos soared into the sky and turned into silver light spots under the scorching sun. When he started to dive, the air was torn apart by the sonic boom cloud, and his right arm extended a dazzling light blade. The hand knife slashed down, three light blades flashed, the stone statues suddenly froze in the posture of spitting fire, and then slowly slid down along the smooth cut surface, exploding into fragments with a "boom."

"There is no battle damage for attacking a monster in defense position, but at this moment, Brave Neos's effect is activated," Judai said. "When Brave Neos destroys an opponent's monster in battle, I can add a Magic or Trap Card that mentions 'Elemental HERO Neos' from the deck to my hand."

Taniguchi's face stiffened.

It can actually search from the deck...

Wait.

He remembered that the Magic Card "Neos Fusion" just now seemed to belong to the Magic/Trap Card that "mentions the name of Neos."

In that case, wouldn't Brave Neos be able to search for Neos Fusion from the deck?

Neos Fusion directly fuses into Brave Neos, Brave Neos destroys a monster and searches for Neos Fusion, Neos Fusion summons Brave Neos again...

Just thinking about it made Taniguchi gasp.

How many resources can be transformed by just one "Neos Fusion"?

But as if seeing through his thoughts, Judai laughed: "Well, although theoretically it is possible to search for another 'Neos Fusion' from the deck, it is a pity that I only have one 'Neos Fusion' now."

"So this time I search for the Magic Card 'Miracle Contact' from the deck."

He said as he pulled out the new Magic Card searched from the deck, showed it briefly, and added it to his hand.

Taniguchi felt a little relieved. Fortunately, there is only one such terrible Neos Magic Card; it would be terrible if there were three of them.

And because of the self-restriction of not being able to Special Summon after Neos Fusion is activated, even if Judai searched for Miracle Contact, he certainly cannot activate it this turn.

"However, the moment Stone Statue of the Aztecs was destroyed, it wasn't just your monster effect that was activated," Taniguchi said. "At this moment, the effect of 'Otherworldly Thorn Dragon' in my hand is also activated!"

A ferocious purple dragon appeared above Taniguchi, showing a ferocious expression.

"When a monster on my field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Otherworldly Thorn Dragon can be Special Summoned from my hand."

"Therefore, I Special Summon 'Otherworldly Thorn Dragon'!"

【Otherworldly Thorn Dragon, ATK 2200】 "So that's it, no wonder there was only one face-down monster in the first turn; was it a bait for the high-level monster to appear?" Judai smiled.

Obviously, Judai-kun has forgotten his dark history of often Normal Summoning Winged Kuriboh in the first turn when he was green—and Winged Kuriboh was often in attack position.

If I have to say it, Judai's tactical arrangement in the early days was probably to show weakness to the enemy first, and take a few more hits at the beginning to facilitate locking blood and counter-killing as soon as possible.

"It's not over yet, it's not just the effect of such a dragon that was activated," Taniguchi sneered. "At the same time, in the last turn, through the Magic Card 'Graceful Charity,' I also sent this card to the Graveyard."

"'Otherworldly Thorn Beast'!"

A purple monster appeared above his head again, looking quite similar to the Otherworldly Thorn Dragon just now. But this time it was not a dragon but a crawling beast, with fangs and claws, looking fierce.

"Otherworldly Thorn Beast is, when this card exists in the Graveyard, if a monster on my field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, this card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard."

"Therefore, I Special Summon 'Otherworldly Thorn Beast' from the Graveyard!"

【Otherworldly Thorn Beast, ATK 1100】

Judai: "Then set a card, the turn is over."

Taniguchi: "My turn, draw!"

After he drew a card, his movements paused slightly, and then he showed a somewhat creepy and cold smile.

"In this way, the preparation is complete."

Judai was stunned: "Preparation?"

Only then did he realize that the Otherworldly Thorn Beast and Otherworldly Thorn Dragon on the opponent's field were both Level 5.

Thinking back to the unknown power the other party showed when You Xuan dueled Mr. T not long ago...

Judai: "Could it be that you want to..."

"It is exactly that 'could it be'!"

Taniguchi shouted.

"I overlay Level 5 'Otherworldly Thorn Dragon' and Level 5 'Otherworldly Thorn Beast'!"

The two monsters roared to the sky at the same time, and their bodies began to decompose into countless light particles. The Otherworldly Thorn Dragon turned into a bewitching purple lightning, and the Otherworldly Thorn Beast burst into brilliant golden light. The two light streams intertwined like a DNA double helix and pierced the sky. Above the clouds, the purple-gold intertwined light pillar suddenly changed direction and dived down in the posture of a falling meteorite.

The ground had already opened a rainbow vortex, and liquid rainbow-like energy waves kept splashing on the edge. The moment the two-color light stream penetrated into the center of the vortex, the whole space suddenly fell into a strange silence, followed by a pillar of flame rising into the sky, and countless translucent dimensional cracks floated in the air like a broken mirror.

"Use two monsters to build an overlay network, Xyz Summon!"

Taniguchi shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Appear! No. 61 Volcasaurus!!!"
