Chapter 1186: Magma!

"No. 39 Utopia's effect, negate my own attack!"

Yuma's momentum was like a rainbow, as if he had already seen victory in his grasp.

If the combo of Double or Nothing is played out, it will be his gorgeous victory!

But before he could play this series of gorgeous combos.

"Activate face-down card!" Jaden said, "Continuous Trap 'Fiendish Chain'!"

The Trap activated, and green iron chains immediately pierced out from the void, binding Utopia's hands, feet, and body together. Even the sword energy that had already been slashed seemed to dissipate out of thin air.

Yuma: "Fiendish Chain?"

"Yes, Fiendish Chain is a Trap that can bind monsters so they cannot move," Jaden said, "This card can target any face-up monster on the field to activate.

The monster bound by Fiendish Chain has its effects negated, and it cannot attack!"

Yuma: "!"

Utopia's effect is negated, so the "attack negation" action naturally becomes invalid, and the trigger condition for Double or Nothing cannot be met. And Utopia is unable to move and cannot attack, so the battle itself does not happen.

"Damn it, it feels like a super beautiful chain," Yuma was very frustrated.

A 10,000 ATK Utopia, it can simply be called a man's romance. How cool would it be if this slash went down.

"This opponent, as expected, is not an ordinary person, ordinary tactics are ineffective against him," Astral's expression was also serious, "He is a strong enemy."

As he spoke, he looked at Yuma and instructed: "This person is not someone you can win against by holding back. Draw a card, Yuma."

"Eh?" Yuma looked hesitantly at Utopia tied up by the chains on the field, "But if that's the case, wouldn't I have to sacrifice..."

"There is no other way," Astral said seriously, "Now Utopia is bound and cannot move, cannot attack, and cannot use effects. Do you understand, Yuma? This means that even the effect of 'Numbers cannot be destroyed' is negated.

In this case, even if you keep Utopia, it will likely be defeated in the next turn. Instead of that, it's better to find a way to earn new resources now to have a chance to open up the situation."

Astral looked at Jaden with admiration: "The duelist in front of us is an opponent who must gamble with a certain amount of luck to have a chance to defeat."

"I... I understand," Yuma rubbed his nose, "Anyway, what you say is always right. Then I activate the Spell Card 'Seventh Storage' from my hand!

This card requires me to release an Xyz Monster on my field to activate, and I can draw a card from my Deck! And after that, if the released monster has Xyz Materials, for every Xyz Material sent to the Graveyard, I can draw an additional card from my Deck!" (Anime card)

This card made Zhang Ka a little interested.

Every generation of anime has original anime-exclusive card-drawing engines, and general anime card-drawing systems have heaven-defying performance far exceeding physical cards. This Seventh Storage is clearly a card unique to the ZEXAL generation.

If it can be combined with some Xyz Monsters with "stacking" characteristics, stack five or six Xyz Materials, and then activate this card, wouldn't it be possible to draw to your heart's content in one go?

At this moment, Utopia on the field had turned into light spots and dissipated, along with the remaining Xyz Material circling it, turning into golden light and attaching to the top of Yuma's Deck—although Utopia's effect failed to activate, it had indeed consumed one Xyz Material. So now Utopia only had one material left.

"Draw two cards from the Deck!"

Yuma drew the cards.

"Then set one card face-down, turn end."

"Although Utopia is bound by Fiendish Chain, if you sacrifice Utopia, the field will be empty. Is this really okay?"

Jaden smiled.

"Then my turn, draw! 'Activate Spell Card 'HERO Legacy'! This card can only be activated if there are two or more 'Elemental HERO' monsters of level 4 or higher in your Graveyard, and you can draw three cards from your Deck!" (Anime effect)

Jaden showed his Graveyard, and the phantoms of two Elemental HEROes flashed above him.

"In my Graveyard, there are 'Elemental HERO Sparkman' and 'Elemental HERO Captain Gold' sent to the Graveyard by 'TakeOver5', both of which are level 4 monsters. Therefore, I draw three cards from my Deck!"

Jaden drew three cards.

"Then activate Spell Card 'Miracle Contact'!" Jaden said, "This card returns the Fusion Material monsters determined by the Fusion Monster card from your hand, field, and Graveyard to the owner's Deck, and Special Summons a Neos Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck, ignoring the summoning conditions!"

Yuma: "Eh? Can you use your hand and Graveyard?"

"That's right," Jaden smiled, "Therefore, I will shuffle 'Neo-Spacian Grand Mole' from my hand, 'Elemental HERO Neos' from the field, and 'Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab' from the Graveyard back into the Deck, Triple Contact Fusion!

Roaring flames, the power of the earth, become the guy who turns into magma—

—Elemental HERO Magma Neos!!!"

Magma rolled, and the body wrapped in flames leaped out of the magma. Two Neo-Spacians lent their power to Neos, and both figures overlapped onto Neos, merging and transforming into a new posture, more burly and tall, with magma-like energy surging all over his body, like transparent armor made of flowing flames covering his whole body, transforming into a brand-new Neos.

【Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 3000】

Yuma: "Ugh, it seems like a very powerful guy has come out!"

"The powerful one is yet to come!" Jaden said, "Activate Field Spell 'Neo Space'!"

The field changed, like a huge scroll being pulled open. Rainbow light bloomed, as if reality was torn apart, turning into an endless space rippling with auroras, and countless transparent aurora bands flowed in the space like living things.

"Neo Space increases the ATK of 'Elemental HERO Neos' and Neos Fusion Monsters by 500!" Jaden said, "And, Magma Neos's effect is that this card's ATK increases by the number of cards on the field x 400 points!"

Astral: "Not good. Magma Neos itself counts as one card..."

Jaden: "Not bad, so the cards on the field now are your face-down card, Continuous Spell 'Quick-Play Reservation Bonus', face-down 'Double or Nothing!', Magma Neos, Field Spell 'Neo Space', and there is also Continuous Trap 'Fiendish Chain'."

Yuma: "Eh? But Utopia, the target of Fiendish Chain, has already gone to the Graveyard..."

Astral said: "Fiendish Chain is a Trap that only leaves the field when the target monster is destroyed, but Utopia was not destroyed, but released by us ourselves.

In this case, the Fiendish Chain that lost its target will not be destroyed, but will remain on the field as a meaningless card."

Astral paused as he spoke.

"This effect should have been a side effect, and the meaningless Fiendish Chain after the target monster leaves should have occupied one of his Spell/Trap zones. But he used this point to increase the monster's ATK..."

Jaden said: "And I will add two more cards face-down to the field.

In this way, there are a total of eight cards on the field, and Magma Neos's ATK increases by 3200. Plus the 500-point increase from the Field Spell Neo Space..."

【Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 3000 → ATK 6700】

6700 ATK! ===== CHAPTER 1187 =====
