Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1462 Xinyu VS Hope
Hope summoned the astral body and said directly, "Then, Yuma, soar to the heavens in your own way."

"Okay!"

Yuma was clearly excited when he heard this.

"Let's go! Let's get straight into combat!"

NO.39 Hope Emperor, attack 'Elemental Hero Neos'!

Hope's wings of light unfurled, and his entire body seemed to begin to glow. He gripped the hilt of his sword, and light particles from all directions converged on the blade he raised. The golden-white light stream seemed to transform into the will of hope, slashing through the air and becoming two crescent-shaped blades of light, trailing a torrent of starlight.

I hope the sword will slay him!

Xinyu Xia was naturally not to be outdone. The azure crystal on his chest burst forth with energy, instantly enveloping his entire body. The incandescent light gathered in his hand, condensing into a light bullet, which he hurled straight at the Sword of Hope.

The golden blade and the incandescent light bullet clashed in mid-air, remaining locked in a stalemate for several seconds, seemingly evenly matched. Then, both attacks broke through each other's obstruction; the Hope Sword slashed directly at Neo-Universe's shoulder blade, while Neo-Universe's light bullet struck Hope squarely in the heart.

Boom boom!

Two loud explosions followed, and both sides were engulfed in smoke and flames.

Marufuji Sho: "A lose-lose situation?"

“No,” Misawa said, “these monsters called 'NO.' have the characteristic of being invincible. I’m afraid…”

Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, New Universe Knight had disappeared, but Hope Emperor Hope still stood there, majestic as a mountain.

"Success!" Yuma said. "NO. cannot be destroyed by battles with monsters other than NO., so sorry. Although our monsters have the same attack power, it seems that Hope is slightly stronger."

The astral body said, "We still have the rumbling stone golems we haven't attacked yet."

"Alright!" Yuma said with renewed vigor, "Then let's continue using the Rumble Stone Golem."

But before he could finish speaking, Jaden interrupted his spellcasting: "Activate face-down card, Trap Card 'Neurospace Path'!"
This card can be activated when 'Elemental HERO Neos' is destroyed by battle. End the Battle Phase. Then draw 1 card from your Deck.

Although Neo-Universe had been defeated, its phantom image flashed across the field, forming a faint, transparent barrier in front of Judai.

"Oh, you've stopped my further attack," Yuma said.

"It's a bit of a shame that Neos lost to Hope, but I'm not going to keep getting beaten up like this," Jaden said. "And I'm going to draw a card from my deck!"

As he spoke, he drew a card and added it to his hand.

Yuma: "Then I'll set two cards face down, and the turn is over."

Judai: "My turn, draw a card."

As he spoke, he raised the Duel Disk, and phantoms of Spell Cards floated out from the Graveyard.

"If the Spell Card 'Take Over 5' activated last turn is in your Graveyard during your Standby Phase, banish this card and any other cards with the same name from your Deck. You can also draw one card from your Deck."

The tenth generation draws cards again. Last turn, a trap card was drawn, this turn a normal card draw plus a magic effect card draw, replenishing all the cards in his hand in one go.

“Then activate the Spell Card ‘Silent Dead’!” Jaden said. “This card can Special Summon a Normal Monster from the Graveyard back to the field in face-up Defense Position.”

I resurrected 'Elemental Hero: Neo-Universe' from the graveyard!

The vortex of the cemetery opened again, and the New Universe Warriors, who had just left the stage and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath, were already back on the field, back into overtime mode.

[Elemental Hero - Neo-Cosmic, Defense 2000] Yuma: "Wow, you're back so soon?"

Astral: "It seems this monster is probably the core of his tactics."

"Well, it's just a defense stance," Yuma said. "And it's a Normal Monster with no effect, so it can only serve as a wall."

"Walls? Well, that's not necessarily true." Jaden chuckled, waving a card in his hand. "I'll now Normal Summon 'Neo Spaceman: Earth Mole'!"

The silver drill shattered the ground, and the yellow-haired mole charged out, propelled by the spinning drill. The drill split open to the sides, revealing a head that was even somewhat cute, completely incongruous with its ferocious abilities.

【New Space Warrior - Earth Mole, Attack Power 900】

"It's here, Big Brother's Earth Mole!" Marufuji Sho said. "Now we don't have to worry about NO.'s resistance."

The invincible new Space Ranger Earth Mole is able to bounce both sides' battle monsters back to the hand without battle calculations. In Jaden's view, this is also a good way to break through the destruction resistance unique to "NO."

Since we can't defeat him, let's fight back.

Of course, this tactic works for regular No. 1s, but it's actually useless against Hopeful Hopp.

The effect of Hope Royal Hope is that when either your monster or your opponent declares an attack, you can negate that attack by removing one Xyz Material. This effect is not usable once per turn; Hope has two Xyz Materials, so it can be used a maximum of twice.

As long as an invalid attack prevents the battle from taking place, even the invincible Mole Guy can't do anything to Hope.

Jaden: "Next, I return 'Elemental HERO Neos' and 'Neo-Tecton Master Earth Mole' from the field to the deck for Contact Fusion!"

Yuma: "What? Contact fusion?"

Of course, fusion summoning also exists in the Xyz Dimension, but in this dimension where Xyz has long been the mainstream, fusion has become rare, and there are very few people using it, let alone using it in various ways. So this is the first time the Master has seen this method.

At this moment, Neo-Universe and Earth Mole both soared into the sky. In mid-air, the universe and galaxies seemed to appear, and the two figures flew among the stars, their forms overlapping and merging into one, transforming into a completely new form under the intense light.

"Power of the earth, surge forth! Fusion Summon—"

—Elemental Hero: Earth Neos!!!

Transformed into a completely new form, the new Universe Warrior seemed to descend from the Milky Way. He was clad in heavy armor, wielding a spinning electric drill, and his entire body radiated transparent lightning.

【Elemental Hero - Earth Neos, Attack Power 2500】

"They've combined! They've become a new form!" Yuma exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not just the appearance that's changed!" Jaden said. "Earth Neos' effect, once per turn, can directly bounce one monster on the field back to its owner's hand!"

Yuma: "Nani!"

Astral: "I see. It can bounce monsters directly back to the hand, ignoring the destruction resistance of No. 1. It's a really troublesome ability."

Yuma was embarrassed: "You're really calm about this bad situation."

Jaden: "Earth Neos's effect, Nebula Void!"

Return 'No. 39 Hope the Emperor' to your hand!

Xinyuxia activated the electric drill in his hand, piercing straight through the air. A domineering piercing force blasted out from afar, stirring up space and tearing a transparent rift behind Hope, about to suck him in without warning!
