Chapter 1182

"Duel!" x2

【Judai, LP4000】

【Yuma, LP4000】

"This kid is really persistent about dueling," Marufuji Sho said. "Well, but he hasn't won a single game so far, so it should be impossible for him to beat Big Brother."

"Hard to say," Tenjoin Fubuki from the side said. "Don't you feel that this kid's momentum seems a bit different since just now?"

"Eh?" Marufuji Sho adjusted his glasses. "Now that you mention it, it seems..."

It felt like Yuma was different in some places, but he couldn't say where the change had occurred.

Fujiki You Xuan, on the other hand, could clearly see that Yuma was indeed different from just now. Because this time, Astral finally wasn't AFK on the side, but had joined the battle together with Yuma.

Even if the battle hadn't started yet, Yuma's momentum was already like a different person compared to before... No, or perhaps to be more precise, it should be said that until just now, Yuma had no momentum at all, and the whole feeling of him standing there was loose and easy to bully.

But now it was completely different.

Judai rubbed his nose and smiled: "My intuition tells me that this seems like it will be a very interesting opponent. Then I'll take the first turn without being polite.

My turn, draw!"

Judai revealed a Spell card in his hand: "Activate the Spell card 'TakeOver5', I can send the top five cards of my deck to the Graveyard."

As he spoke, he had already drawn five cards, and after a glance, he sent them into the Graveyard one by one.

Yuma: "Sending to the Graveyard continuously right from the start?"

Judai: "Next, activate the Spell card 'O - Oversoul'!

This card can Special Summon an Elemental HERO Normal Monster from my Graveyard to the field. The one I want to Special Summon from the Graveyard is this card."

Judai raised his Duel Disk, and a golden light shot out from the Graveyard.

"Elemental HERO Neos!!!"

Purple flames ignited on Judai's field, and the flames condensed into the shape of the letter "O". A beam of light seemed to descend from the universe to the center of the field, and the flying light particles condensed into a silvery-white, slender entity.

Neos's hand blade slashed open the light curtain; its streamlined body had crystals on its chest flashing with diamond-like luster. The golden light surrounding its body gradually dissipated, and it crossed its arms and hovered off the ground.

【Elemental HERO Neos, ATK 2500】

"Oh, oh! Such a cool monster!" Yuma gave his praise without reservation.

"Right?" Judai was a bit proud. "This is my trump card and also the symbol of my deck, Elemental HERO Neos! He is my most important partner from the depths of the universe."

Astral reminded: "Yuma, this monster hides unknown power."

"Isn't that even more interesting?" Yuma smiled.

Judai: "Set one card, turn end."

"Alright, then we can't lose either! Let's go, Astral!" Yuma said. "My turn, draw!"

The "King of Games" was full of energy, and even his draw seemed more vibrant than others, as if he wanted to jump into the air and spin three and a half times, as if the card drawn through this rotation speed had more power.

Astral said: "Yuma, first gain resources and observe the situation."

"I know! Activate the Spell card 'Adversity Treasure'! Yuma said. "This card can only be activated when the opponent has a Special Summoned monster and I have no monsters on my field. Draw two cards from the deck!"

As he spoke, he drew a card with an exaggerated arm swing. "Oh, oh, very good, it's here, it's here!" Yuma said. "I summon 'Goblin Attack Force' in Attack Position!"

The Goblin-type monster is also a classic, long-standing monster series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

Yes, that's right, it's the kind of Goblin that always likes to fight to the death with Princess Knights in the woods in Japanese specialty anime. The Goblin clan in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series is truly versatile; there are offensive ones, expansion ones, defensive ones, all kinds.

For example, the Goblin in the "King of Games's" hand even drove a plane. The green-skinned, sharp-nosed Goblin drove an old-fashioned glider out from the clouds, the spinning propeller cutting through the air like a sharp blade, and the pilot's sharp laughter echoed in mid-air.

【Goblin Attack Force, ATK 1400】

"The effect of Goblin Attack Force: when this card is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon a monster of Level 4 or lower from my hand, and then it changes to Defense Position."

As he spoke, the pilot had already changed from attack to defense, and the plane stopped circling and hovered in mid-air. But the chain at the bottom of the plane suddenly broke, dropping a huge iron box onto the field.

The metal box crashed onto the ground with a clang, the box door collapsed, and a burly stone man wearing armor crawled out, waving a pair of thick arms like an ape.

"I Special Summon 'Rumbling Bing Shi Ren' from my hand, and then Goblin Attack Force changes to Defense Position!"

【Rumbling Bing Shi Ren, ATK 1800】

【Goblin Attack Force, ATK 1400 -> DEF 0】

"It's not over yet. When I successfully Normal Summon a Level 4 monster, this card can be Special Summoned directly from my hand," Yuma said. "I Special Summon 'Shadow Lizard'!"

【Shadow Lizard, ATK 1100】

Astral: "Let's go, Yuma."

"Alright," Yuma clenched his fist.

After Fujiki You Xuan's reminder, he felt that the other party made sense. Whether it was a 'Number' or not, it was their power and their partner. If they had such power but held back and didn't use it in a duel, then it was both a denial of the spirits as companions and a disrespect to the opponent.

In addition, the boy with the red jellyfish hair in front of them also felt different to both of them than anyone else on the island, except for Fujiki You Xuan just now. Even Astral instinctively felt that this was an opponent worth trying to duel.

So they would both go all out in this match.

"Overlay the Level 4 'Goblin Attack Force' and 'Shadow Lizard'!"

Yuma raised his arm high, and the two monsters turned into golden and purple light, crossing each other and flying into the vortex.

"Two monsters build the Overlay Network, Xyz Summon!

White wings that entrust hope, NO. 39!! Messenger of Light—

—Number 39: Utopia!!"

Invisible hands stirred the space, and the golden outline appeared in the chaos. The shining blade slashed open the heavens and earth, and shining brilliance flowed over the armor intertwined with silver and gold. Gorgeous light wings burst out behind the warrior, and thousands of light particles fell like stardust.

【Number 39: Utopia, ATK 2500】

Judai: "Oh, oh! Is this your trump card? So cool! It's almost on par with my Neos!"

Yuma was also as proud as Judai was when he summoned Neos: "Right? If Neos is the symbol of your deck, then Number 39: Utopia is the symbol of my deck and our bond!

No matter when, no matter what kind of predicament we face, we have always faced it together with Utopia, and then won together!"

"Is that so? That's really something to look forward to," Judai said. "Then don't be polite, let me see your bond, and attack with all your might!"
