Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1465 Lava!

"Hopefully, the effect of Royal Hope will nullify my attack!"

Yu Ma was full of momentum, as if he had already seen victory in his grasp.

The next move, a combo that doubles the chance, will lead to his glorious victory!

But before he could unleash that dazzling combo...

"Activate the face card!" Judai shouted, "Continuous Trap 'Chain of the Demons'!"

The trap was activated, and green chains immediately shot out from the void, binding Hope's hands, feet, and body. Even the sword energy that had already been unleashed seemed to vanish into thin air.

Yuma: "The Chains of the Demons?"

“Yes, the Demon Chain is a trap that can bind monsters and prevent them from moving,” Jaden said. “This card can be activated by targeting any face-up monster on the field.”

Monsters bound by the Demon Chains are nullified of their effects and cannot attack!

Yuma: "!"

Since Hope's effect is nullified, the "attack nullification" action also becomes nullified, failing to meet the trigger condition for doubling the chance. Furthermore, Hope is unable to move or attack, rendering the battle itself meaningless.

"Damn it, it seemed like such a beautiful chain store." Yuma was very frustrated.

A thousand attacks on Hope, that's practically a man's romance. How cool it would be to slash down like that.

"This opponent is indeed no ordinary person; ordinary tactics are ineffective against him." Astral Spectrum also had a serious expression. "He is a formidable foe."

He then looked at Yuma and instructed, "This person cannot be defeated by holding back. Draw a card, Yuma."

"Huh?" Yuma looked hesitantly at Hope, who was chained up on the field. "But wouldn't that mean she'd have to be sacrificed?"

“There’s no other way,” Astral said seriously. “Hope is now bound and unable to move, attack, or use any effects. Do you understand, Yuma? This means that effects including ‘NO. Cannot be destroyed’ are also nullified.”

In that case, even if Hope survives, she'll most likely be defeated in the next round. Instead, we should focus on acquiring new resources now to have a chance to turn the tide.

Starlight looked at Jaden with respect and said, "The duelist before us is an opponent that can only be defeated by a certain amount of luck."

“I-I understand.” Yuma rubbed his nose. “Anyway, you’re always right. So, I’ll activate the Spell Card ‘Seven-Style Storage’ from my hand!”
This card can only be activated by Tributing an Xyz Monster you control, allowing you to draw one card from your Deck! Furthermore, if the Tributed Monster had Xyz Materials, you can draw one more card for each Xyz Material sent to the Graveyard! (Anime Card)
This card did pique You Xuan's interest somewhat.

Each generation of anime features its own original gacha engine, typically boasting gacha systems with performance far exceeding that of physical cards. This Seven-Style Storage is clearly a card unique to the ZEXAL generation.

If you can combine it with some Xyz Monsters that have the "Stacking Fun" property, stack five or six Xyz Materials, and then activate this card, wouldn't you be able to draw as many as you want in one go?
At this moment, Hope on the field had turned into specks of light and dissipated, along with the remaining Xyz Material surrounding her, which turned into golden light and attached to the top of Yuma's deck—although Hope's effect had failed to activate, it had indeed consumed one Xyz Material. So now Hope only had one Xyz Material left.

"Draw two cards from your deck!"

Yuma drew a card.

"Then set a card face down, and the turn ends."

"Although Hope is bound by the Demon Chains, sacrificing Hope would leave the field empty. Is that really a good idea?"

Judai smiled.

"My turn, draw!" "Activate the Spell Card 'Hero's Legacy'! This card can be activated if you have two or more Level 4 or higher 'Elemental HERO' cards in your Graveyard, and you can draw three cards from your Deck!" (Animation effect)

Jaden revealed his graveyard, and two Elemental Hero phantoms flashed above him.

"I have 'Elemental HERO Electro Wizard' and 'Elemental HERO Captain Gold' sent to the Graveyard by 'Take Over 5', both of which are Level 4 monsters. Therefore, I will draw three cards from my deck!"

Ten generations draw three cards.

“Then activate the 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 back to their owners’ Deck, and Special Summons 1 Neo Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions!”

Yuma: "Huh, can I use cards from my hand or the graveyard?"

“That’s right,” Jaden laughed. “Therefore, I’m going to shuffle ‘Neo Spacman Earth Mole’ from my hand, ‘Elemental HERO Neos’ from the field, and ‘Neo Spacman Fire Beetle’ from my graveyard back into my deck for a triple contact fusion!”

Raging flames, the power of the earth, become a lava being!

—Elemental Hero: Lava Neos!!!

Lava surged, and a body enveloped in flames leaped from it. The two new dimensions lent their power to Neo-Universe Warrior, and the two figures overlapped on Neo-Universe Warrior, merging and transforming into a new form, even more robust and tall, his body surging with lava-like energy, covered by transparent armor formed like flowing flames, transforming him into the brand-new Neo-Universe Warrior.

【Elemental Hero - Lava Neos, Attack Power 3000】

Yuma: "Whoa, it seems like a really powerful guy has appeared!"

"The best is yet to come!" Judai said. "Activate the field spell 'New Space'!"

The scene shifted, like a giant scroll being unfurled. Rainbow-colored light burst forth, as if reality had been torn apart, transforming into an endless space rippling with aurora borealis, with countless transparent aurora bands flowing like living things within the space.

"The new space increases the ATK of 'Elemental HERO Neos' and Neos Fusion Monsters by 500!" Jaden said. "Furthermore, Lava Neos' effect is that this card's ATK increases by 400 for each card on the field!"

Astral Entity: "This is bad. Lava Neos itself is a card!"

Jaden: "That's right, so the cards on the field now include your Set card, the Continuous Spell 'Quick-Play Pre-registration Bonus', the Set card 'Double Chance', Lava Neos, the Field Spell 'New Space', and the Continuous Trap 'Demonic Chain'."

Yuma: "Huh? But Hope, the recipient of the Demon Chain, has already gone to the graveyard."

Astral said, "The Demon Chain is a trap that is destroyed when the target monster is destroyed, but Hope was not destroyed; instead, we freed it ourselves."

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

Astral body paused as he spoke.

"This effect should have been a side effect; after the targeted monster leaves the field, the meaningless Spell & Trap Zone would have been blocked. But instead, he used this to increase the monster's attack."

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

This brings the total number of cards on the field to eight, and Lava Neos's attack power is increased by 3200. Add to that the 500-point boost from the Field Spell New Space.

[Elemental Hero - Lava Neos, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 6700]

Attack power 6700!
