Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1467 Playing Cards Leads to Fusion
ZEXAL!

This transformation truly surprised everyone.

What's going on? Can you become a Saint Seiya character by playing cards?
"This isn't a 3D image, is it?" Marufuji Sho repeatedly rubbed his eyes.

Asuka: "Is this child also a duelist with special abilities?"

No, even calling it a special ability seems a bit of an understatement. This situation seems to be beyond her comprehension.

To be honest, Yuma himself was a little surprised. He looked down at his transformed body, touched his body, clenched his fists, and exclaimed in surprise, "It actually worked! But before, we could only transform in specific locations, right?"

Their first transformation occurred when they entered the hidden space within Yuma's pendant, the "Imperial Key," which was a subspace that mimicked an alternate dimension.

Later, they discovered that they had the ability to combine, but previously this ability could only be activated in other-dimensional environments such as the Varian and the Astral Realm.

Today seems to be the first time it has been used in the human world.

"I'm not sure, I just felt it." The astral voice echoed in his mind, "Perhaps it was an encounter with a powerful being, or a change in our state of mind that allowed our power to be upgraded further."

"I see. Well, we have to thank them in the end. But thanks to them, we were able to fight with all our might!"

Yuma exclaimed excitedly, then immediately snapped up the card he had drawn that round.

"I usually summon 'Card Car D'!"

[Card Car D, Attack Power 800]

"The effect of the card 'Car D' is to Tribute this card that was successfully summoned, and draw two cards from your deck!" Yuma said.

After being released as a physical card, it was significantly weakened by the addition of the restriction that "drawing this card immediately puts you into the End Phase of this turn." However, even with this nerf, it was still a popular and versatile card in the physical card game environment at one time.

"Everything about the strongest duelist is inevitable, even card draws can be created!"

The combined Yuma raised his right hand, and it seemed as if light flowed from all around and gathered in his hand, condensing in his palm like a shining sun.

"Flash—Draw a card!"

This card draw was even more spectacular than before, this time complete with special effects. Yuma's draw left a trail of light in the air, and even the card he drew seemed to be shimmering.

"Something's not right," Yubel warned from behind Jaden.

"Ah, I felt it too." Jaden's eyes briefly flashed with the light of his heterochromatic eyes. "That pull just now felt like... like I borrowed some new power."

To put it more bluntly, Jaden, who is also a master of cheating, suspects that the other side is printing cards.

That last draw didn't seem to be a card that was already in the opponent's deck.

And that is indeed the case. Yuma and Astral's fused ZEXAL form can legally print cards, usually those with the "Different Heat, Same Heart" tag, which can also be directly translated as "ZEXAL Weapon." As the name suggests, these are their exclusive weapons in ZEXAL form.

Yuma: "I'll activate the equipment spell 'Super Regeneration' first!"
This card can be selected from 1 Xyz Monster in your Graveyard, Special Summoned back to the field in Attack Position, and equipped to this card! (Anime Card)
Jaden laughed and said, "And then Hope makes her appearance again?"

“Of course, how could the most important scene be complete without Hope’s role?” Yuma laughed. “Rise once again, No. 39, Hope the Emperor!”

The vortex of the graveyard opened, and the golden Hope Warrior returned to the field from the dark void, living up to his name of dying from overwork. However, Hope, resurrected with this effect, naturally had no Xyz Materials, and was now just a vanilla character except for his general resistances.

Yuma: "I used 'No. 39 Hope the Emperor' as Xyz Material, then stacked it again! Chaos Xyz Transformation! The messenger who transforms chaos into light—"

"—CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope!!!" Hope, who had just returned to the field, immediately sank back into the vortex of supermassive energy, with violent energies ranging from light to chaos filling the superimposed network. Dark red alien crystal energy was injected into Hope's body, and the warrior of hope seemed to transform into a three-headed, six-armed being, with a heavy greatsword mounted on his back. The visor opened, revealing a square face, with dark red light flashing in his eyes.

CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hopeley, summon!
【CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hoperay, Attack Power 2500】

"Use Xyz Monsters again? Chaos Xyz Transformation?" Jaden exclaimed in surprise, "So cool, so cool! You've been hiding quite a few trump cards."

"Hehe, it's alright."

Yuma was a little embarrassed by the praise, but quickly continued, "Hopley can only be summoned when its HP is below 1000, making it a true trump card in desperate situations!"

The physical card version of Hope differs from the anime version. In the physical card version, Hope can only activate its effect when its Life Points are below 1000, but it can still be summoned. In the anime version, Hope can only be summoned when its Life Points are below 1000, but there are no restrictions on activating its effect.

Yuma waved his hand and said, "I activate the effect of CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope!"
This card can remove one Xyz Material, reduce the ATK of one monster your opponent controls by 500, and then increase your ATK by 1000!

At this moment, Hope only had one Xyz Material on him, which turned into golden light and was absorbed into the greatsword behind him. Hope gripped the hilt with all his arms, drew the greatsword, and an overwhelming, invisible power immediately enveloped the entire area.

At this point, there are nine cards on the field: Lava Neos, Neo-Tectonic Space, Demon Chain, two face-down cards from Jaden, Royal Hope, Quick-Play Double Up Bonus, and Face-down "Double Chance". With the added boost from Neo-Tectonic Space's effect, Lava Neos has an ATK of 6700.

[Elemental Hero - Lava Neos, Attack Power 6700 → Attack Power 5700]

【CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3500】

“That’s a very powerful ability,” Jaden laughed. “But it’s not enough to catch up with Lava Neos’s attack power.”

"I know!"

Horse trail.

"So let's equip this card to 'CNO.39 Hope the Emperor' next! Heat-Concentric Weapon - Unicorn Royal Lance'!"

A beam of golden light flew out from the card he revealed, landing and transforming into a unicorn scattering stardust. It had a golden body, the shape of a unicorn but seemingly made of steel, and its outstretched wings were not fluttering with feathers but with shimmering starlight.

The unicorn then transformed into a dazzling royal spear, flying into Hope's hand like a javelin piercing the air. Hope swung the spear several times in mid-air, leaving behind a windmill-like trail of light.

"Hopley, equipped with the Royal Lance, has his attack power increased by 1900 points!"

This is precisely the attack power value of the Unicorn King Gun itself. This is also a characteristic of the Heterogeneous Unity series of weapons; they can be equipped by Hope, increasing Hope's own attack power value.

【CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope, Attack Power 3500 → Attack Power 5400】

"The attack power is actually 5,400, that's impressive," Jaden said. "But Unicorn King Lance is also a card. When this card appears on the field, Lava Neos' attack power will also increase."

[Elemental Hero - Lava Neos, Attack Power 5700 → Attack Power 6100]

Yuma: "Attack power of 6,100, that's incredible."

Judai: "Well, you should already have a plan, right?"

"Hey, that's natural."

You Ma raised his hand.

"Direct combat!"
Hope Emperor Hope, equipped with the Unicorn King Spear, attacks 'Elemental Hero: Lava Neos'!
