Chapter 1471

"Trap Card, Precise Defense!" Yuma said, "This card can be activated when the opponent's monster declares an attack. Special Summon one monster of Level 4 or lower from your Graveyard to the field in Defense Position. That monster will not be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn!"

Yuma drew a card returned from the Graveyard.

"I'm counting on you, Gogogo Golem!"

The sturdy-bodied Golem appeared on the field, crossing its arms to block in front of itself like a stone wall.

The destructive blow of Dark Rebellion landed straight on the Golem, but the latter's body only trembled slightly, its reliable frame stubbornly resisting the impact.

"To think you actually blocked it," Yuto said. "Heh, then I'll specially allow you to play with me a little longer. Turn end!"

He narrowed his eyes, his expression confident and playful.

"In front of Dark Rebellion, all you can do is struggle desperately and then die. But before that, let me enjoy the ugly sight of your struggle."

Astral: "It seems we've really been underestimated, Yuma."

"Seems so... but it's not the first time anyway." Yuma wasn't angry, just smiling as he looked at Astral. "But as long as I'm with you, Astral, I have nothing to fear. No matter what obstacles or enemies, we can defeat them!"

Astral also smiled: "This is your 'kattobingu,' right? Yuma?"

"No," Yuma said solemnly, "It's *our* kattobingu."

Astral was taken aback, then closed his eyes and chuckled softly.

"That's true... You're right. It should be our kattobingu."

Yuto's arrogant smile on the other side turned into impatience: "Hey, hey, we're still in a duel, stop with those mushy partner games. Hurry up."

"Haha, alright, then as you wish, I'll send you on your way as soon as possible!" Yuma said, "My turn, draw!"

Upon seeing the card he drew, his eyes lit up; he exchanged a look with Astral and nodded.

Then, both of them raised their arms high in unison.

Yuma: "I take my soul!"

Astral: "And mine!"

Yuma & Astral: "Overlay!"

Yuto: "???"

The Great Demon King Zarc, who prided himself on having seen every scene and knowing every summoning method, briefly doubted he had heard correctly.

You are... overlaying what?

Then he watched in shock as the two duelists on the opposite side actually shot into the sky together, one turning into a red beam of light, the other into a blue beam of light, truly just like monster Overlay Xyz, intersecting and merging into the huge vortex on the ground, exploding with brilliant, dazzling light...

"When two distant souls intersect, the legendary power manifests here!"

Emerging from the overlaying light, the golden glow faded to reveal armor resembling that of a Saint, along with a colorful Super Saiyan hairstyle that looked even better at playing cards than before.

"ZEXAL!"

And the Great Demon King Zarc's expression at this moment was probably: I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked.

"The duelist Xyz'd!?" Zarc's eyes were full of confusion.

As a cross-dimensional Great Demon King familiar with various summoning methods, he was very familiar with the energy attributes corresponding to each. Therefore, his perception could very confidently judge that what erupted from the opposite side at this moment was Xyz Summoning energy—and it was Xyz of astonishing intensity; if it were a normal duel, it should have been a very incredible big monster Xyz'd out.

But the problem is, what kind of thing is a duelist Xyz-ing themselves? Can it even be like this?

"Activate Magic Card, Monster Reborn!" Yuma showed the card he had just drawn. "This card can revive a monster from the Graveyard to the field.

I am reviving 'No. 39 Utopia'!"

Utopia, which had just left the field not long ago, was back to work overtime again. However, having long been active in Yuma's duels as an overworked soul, Utopia was probably used to it by now, and should have been mentally prepared to know that it wouldn't be able to rest for more than a turn after going down.

【No. 39 Utopia, ATK 2500】

"Then use Utopia as Xyz Material to Overlay again!" Yuma said, "Chaos Xyz Change! Appear!

CNo. 39! The messenger who turns chaos into light—

Utopia Ray!"

Thus, Utopia transformed back into its pre-warrior form and submerged into the overlay vortex to be remade. Soon, when it appeared again, six mechanical arms pulled out heavy greatswords in unison, Utopia's faceplate opened to reveal that iron-gray, heavy face, its eyes flashing with dark red light.

【CNo. 39 Utopia Ray, ATK 2500】

"Can you perform a Rank-Up transformation without a Rank-Up Magic?" Yuto said indifferently.

"Utopia Ray's effect can only be activated when your own Life Points are below 1000. My Life Points currently do not meet the activation condition, so I will not activate it."

Yuma said calmly.

"But! Because Utopia Ray's summon counts as an Xyz Summon, the effect of the Continuous Magic 'Xyz Change Tactics' activates!"

The Continuous Magic in his back row with the picture of Utopia bloomed with golden light again, and the light cluster fell onto Yuma's deck, causing the top card of the deck to also begin to shine with golden light.

"Xyz Change Tactics: When a Utopia monster is successfully Xyz Summoned on your field, you can pay 500 Life Points to draw a card from your deck!"

【Yuma, LP 3500 → LP 3000】

Yuma's arm was raised high, as if endless brilliance was gathering from all directions, concentrating in his palm, causing that hand to be wrapped in a light cluster.

"Everything in the duel of the strongest duelist is inevitable, even drawing a card can be created!" Yuma shouted, "

Shining Draw!"

Zarc: "???"

Question marks seemed to appear on the Great Demon King Zarc's forehead again.

Although those who understand the matter of card-printing understand, for a Fate Power warrior who is strong enough, anything is possible.

But isn't it a bit excessive for you to shout it out so openly?

What do you mean even drawing a card can be created? And what does it mean that your card is glowing?

The most critical thing is, at Zarc's level, he seemed to be able to faintly perceive that the card the opponent drew at this moment... might really be printed on the spot.

That card exuded a unique aura, clearly making one feel that it shouldn't have been in that deck originally.

It looked as if the opponent had just drawn a card from the top of the deck, but in his perception, strictly speaking, this seemed to be a card drawn from somewhere outside the deck.

A card that shouldn't exist.

"It's here!" Yuma said, "Let you also witness the power of our bond, our evolution, Utopia's Rank-Up!"

Yuto: "Rank-Up?"

"That's right, activate the Rank-Up Magic 'ZEXAL Force' from my hand!" Yuma said, "This card can be activated by targeting an Xyz monster on your field, allowing a Utopia monster or a ZEXAL monster one rank higher than that monster to be overlaid on the target to perform an Xyz Summon!"
