Chapter 1468: Battle of Xyz

A few minutes ago.

Standing in front of Yuma was Yuto—or rather, the former Yuto, now one of Zarc's four incarnations.

Because of the precedent of You Xuan, Judai, and Yusei earlier, everyone who came here didn't waste much time.

Astral reminded him that this opponent was likely an Xyz user, so Yuma immediately volunteered to fight.

The remaining Seafood King Yugi encouraged Yuma a few words, and then went with Ray to continue searching for Zarc's main body.

So now it developed into the combination of Tsukumo Yuma and Astral against the Yuto version of Zarc's incarnation.

"Your two companions are quite good." Yuto said faintly. "I hope you won't disappoint me either."

Yuma laughed. "It seems the duels of Judai and Yusei seniors ahead are going very smoothly."

Astral said: "Then we can't drag our feet here either."

"That's right!"

Yuma said as he had already activated his Duel equipment.

"Duel!" 2

【Yuma, LP 4000】

【Yuto, LP 4000】

"I'll go first!"

Yuma's luck was relatively strong, and he took the first move here.

Astral said: "Transformation tactics, Yuma!"

"Okay!" Yuma listened to his teammate's advice. "Activate the Continuous Spell 'Xyz Change Tactics' from my hand!"

The image of the green Spell card appeared on the field, gathered by a burst of shining golden light. The card art depicted the posture of "Number 39: Utopia" before it transformed into its warrior form.

Looking at the card art, one could tell it was Yuma's exclusive card.

"Xyz Change Tactics is, every time a 'Utopia' monster is Xyz Summoned to my field, by paying 500 LP, I can draw one card from my Deck!" Yuma said.

"Oh, using Xyz in front of me?" Yuto sneered. "Very good, then let's decide the winner with Xyz."

Yuma laughed loudly: "That's exactly what I want, but if it's about Xyz, I won't lose!"

Astral: "Yuma, Utopia."

"Okay!" Yuma said. "Next, I Normal Summon 'Goblinbergh' from my hand!"

The red old-fashioned glider flew onto the field, the green-skinned goblin wearing flight goggles, with a sharp hooked nose, and a cheeky smile on his face.

【Goblinbergh, ATK 140】

"The effect of Goblinbergh, when this card is successfully summoned, change itself to Defense Position, and I can Special Summon another Level 4 monster from my hand!" Yuma said. "Special Summon 'Gogogo Golem' from my hand!"

The metal iron box hanging from the bottom of the pilot's glider fell to the ground with a boom, the heavy box door opened, a pair of red eyes lit up in the darkness, and the stone warrior with a burly body and heavy armor stepped out.

【Gogogo Golem, ATK 1800】

"Overlay the Level 4 'Goblinbergh' and Level 4 'Gogogo Golem'!" Yuma said. "The two monsters build the Overlay Network, Xyz Summon!

White wings that entrust hope! Appear, No. 39! Messenger of Light—Number 39: Utopia!"

The Overlay vortex burst into golden brilliance, and in the gorgeous light, Utopia's heroic posture was transformed. The golden blade cut through space like a crescent moon, the armor deformed and opened, transforming into the warrior of hope.

【Number 39: Utopia, ATK 2500】

【No.?】

Yuto's eyes lit up when he saw the huge "No. 39" characters floating in the air.

Sure enough, his intuition was right; these otherworldly visitors were one more impressive than the other, and they all had good things in their hands.

Judai's Super Polymerization and Supreme King power, Yusei's Red Dragon card-printing machine, and now Yuma's Numeron power that faintly contained the potential to overwrite reality...

Zarc was seeing more and more good things today, and the more he looked, the more his heart itched. That feeling was like a greedy person having a big bag of gold dangled in front of him, or a lecherous person having a group of hot bikini girls dancing in front of him.

Zarc was so teased that he couldn't hold back, and he already wanted to take down this group of people and make their power, and even themselves, his own.

Imagine if he could catch all these guys with colorful hairstyles in one net, and collect all their power, what kind of realm would his strength reach then?

"The effect of Xyz Change Tactics activates." Yuma said. "Because I summoned Number 39: Utopia, I can pay 500 LP to draw one card from my Deck."

【Yuma, LP 4000 → LP 3500】

Golden light flashed briefly on Utopia, and a beam of golden light flew into Yuma's body. Yuma closed his eyes to bear the burden of the damage, and then drew a card.

After glancing at the card he drew, he exchanged a look with Astral beside him, and then inserted the card into the back row of his Duel Disk.

"Set one card, turn end."

"Number 39: Utopia, is that your trump card?" Yuto said.

"Not bad!" Yuma was quite proud. "Utopia is my trump card, and it's also our most important partner! We have walked all the way with Utopia and fought side by side until now!"

Yuto let out an even stranger laugh upon hearing this.

Yuma said unhappily: "What's so funny?"

"No, nothing..."

Yuto sneered.

"What fighting side by side, what partner... It's been a long time since I've heard such words since I wiped out all the annoying guys in this dimension. Hearing such disgusting words just makes me feel ridiculous!

My turn, draw!"

Yuto drew a card and directly displayed it: "Activate the Spell Card 'Foolish Burial' from my hand! This card allows me to choose any one monster card from my Deck and send it to the Graveyard."

Yuto chose a monster, displayed it, and sent it to the Graveyard.

"I send 'The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves' from my Deck to the Graveyard."

However, just after it was sent to the Graveyard, that card popped out again. At the same time, that strange long robe that looked like a ghost also reappeared and returned to the field, drifting across mid-air.

"When 'The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves' is in the Graveyard, by banishing this card from the Graveyard, I can add one other 'The Phantom Knights' monster from my Deck to my hand."

Ragged Gloves' card flew into mid-air, turned into golden light, and dissipated, while another card automatically popped out from Yuto's Deck and flew into his hand.

"Add 'The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak' from my Deck to my hand!"

Yuma watched his series of operations, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "The Phantom Knights, sounds like a very handsome name. And what Ragged Gloves, and Ancient Cloak... they all look like knight equipment."

Yuto narrowed his eyes and sized him up for a moment.

"I see." Yuto said faintly. "Are you the same type of duelist as that guy in red?" ===== CHAPTER 1469 =====
