Chapter 1681 Primal Life Forms Attack ~ Yubel's Phantom Calls for a Miracle ~
Around Hayato, a vortex swept up two cards from the graveyard and displayed them in front of Yubel.

"This time, the materials I've chosen for fusion are [The Little Mermaid of the Pearl-Tear Elegy Clan] and [The Demon King of the Swamp]!"

Seeing the two monsters Hayato had chosen, Yubel raised an eyebrow: "The [Tears of Elegy Clan] monster plus an aquatic monster? Is it coming again, that [Narcissus Mermaid]?"

“No, unfortunately, due to the limitations of the Extra Deck, I only included one copy of [Narcissus Mermaid], and it’s currently lying in my Graveyard.” Hayato shook his finger. “More important than the type or attribute of [Swamp Demon King] itself is its effect.”

"Besides its ability to search for [Fusion] Spell Cards activated from the hand, [Swamp Demon King] also has the ability to replace a designated card name when used as Fusion Material. And right now, the monster I'm going to transform into using [Swamp Demon King] is named—[Dark World Dragon God - Grafa]!"

The liquid creature, the Demon King of the Swamp, rode the current upwards, its body absorbing the surrounding water and expanding into a ferocious, pitch-black dragon. It was then instantly swallowed by the whirlpool, and the Little Mermaid of the Pearl Tear Elegy Clan followed closely behind, joining the fusion.

Seeing Hayato about to activate Fusion Summon again and act as if it were his turn, Yubel immediately threw out a card from his hand: "Don't even think about it!"

"When a Spell/Trap/Monster effect is activated in my opponent's Graveyard, send this [Skull King] card from my hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect!"

"Null that effect!"

To Hayato's surprise, Yubel had been holding onto the [Skull King] card, a trap he'd been saving up for this moment, and had finally managed to use it to precisely counter Hayato's fusion.

A demon adorned with skulls appeared on the field. With a wave of its hand, it sealed off the graveyard, severing the power of the Little Mermaid of the Tearful Song Clan. The fusion vortex around Hayato collapsed due to the loss of its power. The Little Mermaid of the Tearful Song Clan and the Demon King of the Swamp painfully retreated from the fusion vortex and returned to Hayato's graveyard.

"In that case, I'll switch to Plan B, Yubel!"

"In other words—let's welcome the arrival of the [Primitive Life Form] here!"

Of all the monsters on Hayato's field, only the effect of [Predatory Plant - Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] hadn't been used yet. The other monsters had already used up most of their effects. Taking advantage of the fact that [Yubel] on Yubel's field could only evolve by being destroyed and that [Yubel - Extremely Sad Dragon] couldn't be brought to the field in a new form, Hayato decisively threw out the "Meteor" in his hand!
Who allowed Yubel to bypass his fusion? Hayato had already prepared the summoning incantation for [Dark World Dragon King - Grafa] in his mind, something like "Dark dragon of ravage and conquest, absorb this dark power that is deeper than darkness and more depraved than the abyss and evolve! I call you king, I call you demon," and yet [Skeleton King] bypassed it?
—You're saying this is Yubel's turn, not Hayato's, and that he's tampering with someone else's turn? Then it's alright.

Linked to the effect of [Skull King], Hayato played a card that opened a wormhole in mid-air. The other end of the spatial tunnel connected to the boundless universe, almost triggering Yubel's PTSD.

But what appeared next made Yubel feel even more terrified. The card that emerged from the space tunnel and was captured by Hayato was a huge meteorite. Just like when Yubel's space capsule was captured by gravity and fell into the atmosphere, the meteorite was also captured by the gravity of the ground and crashed into the center of the duel arena!
[Primitive Life Form - Nibiru] [11☆/Light]

[Rock Faction/Effect]

[3000/600]

"During the Main Phase of both players' turns when the opponent Normal or Special Summons five or more monsters, activate the effect of [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] in my hand. Tribute as many face-up monsters as possible on both players' fields and Special Summon [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] to my field. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn."

Hayato placed the card 【Primal Life Form - Nibiru】 in Defense Position in front of him, then pointed at Yubel's field, "But don't say I'm bullying you. As compensation, 【Primal Life Form Token】 will be Special Summoned to your field, with its ATK and DEF values ​​being the sum of the original ATK and DEF values ​​of the monsters that were released."

Just now, the monsters released by the effect of [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] on Hayato's field were [Half-Dragon Maid/Dragon Butler], [Predator-Rhinoceros Horned Dragon], [Predator-Spike-Leaf Vine Three-Pointed Hellflower], and [Flower Baroness]. As for Yubel's monsters with 0 ATK and DEF, they can be ignored. The [Primal Life Form Tokens] that appeared on Yubel's field had terrifyingly high stats because of the sheer quality of Hayato's monsters.

[Original Life Form Derivative] [11☆/Light]

【？ /？ →11700/9300】

"Hayato Kobayashi, you did a great job, you did a great job!" Yubel looked at the cleaned-up area and felt not satisfaction, but rather extreme anger.

It feels like Kaiba starts with three Blue-Eyes cards and fuses them into a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, then is about to release it to Special Summon an invincible Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, only for Hayato to play a Destruction Wheel to blow it up. Even when Kaiba chain-activates Fusion Release to avoid the destruction effect, Hayato also chain-activates Fusion Release—isn't that ridiculous?
The reason why Yubel was so angry was that Hayato didn't create a new chain, but rather activated C3's [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] on the chain of C1 [Tears of Elegy - Little Mermaid] and C2 [Skull King], thus freeing Yubel's [Yubel - The Hated Knight] on the field!
Although [Yubel - The Hated Knight] has the ability to trigger the evolution condition and Special Summon her third stage form when she leaves the field, it is important to note that the trigger condition is "time" rather than "circumstance". This means that [Yubel - The Hated Knight] must leave the field and start using the effect immediately, just like when she is destroyed by [Lightning Strike], otherwise the timing will be blocked and she will not be able to Special Summon!

But fortunately, Yubel had another trick up his sleeve!
"You have unleashed my second stage—[Yuber - The Hated Knight]—but due to the timing, I cannot use its effects to evolve. However, Hayato Kobayashi, this pain will not dissipate! On the contrary, my power will ascend to a completely new stage!"

"The effect of the Field Spell Card [Nightmare Throne]! Once per turn, if a [Yuber] monster on my field leaves the field due to an effect, I can activate this effect: Add one [Yuber] monster whose original Level is 1 star higher or lower than one of those monsters from my Deck, Graveyard, and banished monsters to my hand. Then, Special Summon that monster, ignoring its Summoning conditions!"

Yubel adds a card from his deck to his hand and shows it to Hayato: "The [Yubel - The Hated Knight] that left the field is a Level 11 monster, so I can add a Level 10 or 12 [Yubel] monster to my hand, and this is the card I've chosen!"

At this moment, Yubel revealed an unprecedentedly serious expression. Beneath that seemingly solemn demeanor lay a facade of rationality, a facade that had been shattered and forcibly reassembled. In reality, she had long since fallen into an inescapable madness.

"My love, my hate, my pain, my tears—I reminisce about the past, I envision the future—I remain unchanged."

Tears streamed down his face, and Yubel then burst into maniacal laughter again, “Take my love with you, take my sorrow with you, absolute demon king, inevitable destruction, supreme darkness and ultimate grief!”

"Be mad with grief! [Yubel - The Dragon of Utter Sorrow]!"

On the chest of [Yubel - The Hated Knight], a face of Yubel grew out, and his originally beast-like body became more and more ferocious and irreversible, while the wings on his back also grew to two pairs.

Not only that, but each of the original two dragon heads sprouted a face, one expressing sorrow and the other rage. Even more remarkably, a third head grew where the neck had originally been. The demon-king-like [Yubel - The Extremely Sorrowful Dragon] flapped its wings, a dense aura of darkness filling the entire space, and two eyes on its knees suddenly snapped open! [Yubel - The Extremely Sorrowful Dragon] [12☆/Dark]

[Demon/Special Summon/Effect]

[0/0]

Aside from its attack power of 0 and defense power of 0 (due to the "unchangeable ancestral laws"), [Yubel - the Extremely Sad Dragon] has reached its maximum level of 12☆, and now, having entered its third stage, it can be considered completely evolved. Naturally, another [Chronicle Indicator] has been added to the [Mature Chronicle], bringing its total to three.

[Chronology of Maturity] [Chronology Indicator 2→3]

"It's not over yet! Just like I said before, the Special Summon of [Yubel Phantom] is not limited to once per turn. I return [Yubel] and [Yubel - The Hated Knight] from my Graveyard to my Deck, and Special Summon the third [Yubel Phantom] from my Fusion Deck!"

【Ubel Phantom】【ATK0】

The 0-ATK [Yubel Phantom] appeared on Yubel's field for the third time. Since she didn't really have any Fusion Monsters in her deck that she needed to include, and this card could effectively recover resources, she naturally included three copies—after all, she didn't need to buy a book to get this card, she could print it herself.

[Chronology of Maturity] [Chronology Indicator 3→4]

Seeing [Yubel Phantom] reappear, Hayato raised an eyebrow: "You like that form that much, Yubel? But you've finally activated the field effect, so now your card effects are completely transparent to me!"

Hearing Hayato's words, Yubel was also taken aback, frowning as he said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I just Special Summoned my Third Stage, didn't I? Besides, I clearly didn't use any of the effects of [Yubel's Illusion]!"

It's not that Yubel didn't want to, but the first [Yubel Phantom] was countered by Hayato's Special Summon, the second [Yubel Phantom] had its effect negated, and her third [Yubel Phantom] was only just played now, how could it possibly have a chance to be used?

"No, I already knew about that ability—the kind that makes people want to draw a lucky card to turn the tide but end up with it unexpectedly, causing them to be stuck in their hand and fall into 'extreme sadness.' I even know the second effect of your [Yubel Phantom] clearly. It just rewrites the effect of the opponent's monster to 'destroy one [Yubel] monster in your hand, deck, or field.'"

"But more importantly, I guess you're planning to use the high attack power of my monsters to 'bait' me again, and use the reflected damage to deal massive damage to me and wipe out my life points, right? -- That's right, I know exactly what [Yubel]'s core ability is, that the opponent can take the battle damage you receive."

"But unfortunately, I only have [Primal Life Form - Nibiru] with 600 Defense left on my field."

Even if [Yubel] can fully reflect the battle damage that should have been received, if Hayato only has a Meteor with 600 DEF on the field, Yubel would have to actively attack at least seven times to clear Hayato's Life Points. Now that the Meteor has already released all the monsters on both sides' fields, and Yubel has already used most of her monster effects and normal summoned, she can still do it. Hayato should applaud her.

"You bastard, you really...?" Yubel stared wide-eyed at Hayato in disbelief, then immediately dismissed his own guess. "No, that's impossible! These cards were used in a duel for the first time after I created them, how could you possibly know!"

After a pause, Yubel played another card from his hand and said, "And another thing, did you think you could escape this by clearing your field of monsters, Hayato Kobayashi? How naive! You love to 'send' your monsters to your opponent's field so much, now you'll have to accept this 'powerful monster' I'm 'giving' you!"

"Reveal this [Yubel] card from my hand, then activate the effect of [Undead Torture Giant] from my hand to Special Summon this card to my opponent's field, and you can also Special Summon this [Yubel] card from my hand that I revealed!"

With the swaying of chains, on Hayato Field, a steel giant made of chainsaws, chains, spikes and blades stood up!

　Gqux episode 11 was great, so many elements!

　　Magical Girl Char's transformation, Marcho's diving (the fate of a Naughty Fairy Star player.jpg), Uncle Green's Unparalleled Record, Haman having her lines stolen and the classic theater, Meow An's delicious betrayal, and the most exhilarating Byd the Time.
　　-

　　Is the final boss of Gqux probably MeowAn?

　　It would also be reasonable to attack Kycilia.

　　It makes sense to beat up Char.
　　What do you mean by "Amuro 79 traveled through time in a Genzo"?
　　-

　　During the previous FGO event, the Red Odysseus made people exclaim that Char Aznable had been reincarnated. Even Mita said that when she was writing the story last year, she didn't expect there to be a Red Gundam this year. Now that GQX has switched to Lostbelt, it seems like you'll have to play FGO before you can see Gundam (lol).
