Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1469 Vector's Plan
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Wielding the Unicorn King Spear, the Divine Universe Knight launched a desperate charge, delivering a piercing blow that sealed the victory. Hope exploded instantly, blowing away even Yuma, who was standing behind him.

Yuma, who had already merged into his Saint Seiya form, seemed to be hit head-on by this impact. His body was instantly blasted apart as if it had disintegrated, turning back into red and blue orbs of light, which fell to the left and right sides and crashed heavily to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Yuma, who had already disintegrated, sat up, looking somewhat disheveled, and scratched his head.

"They even took away my weapon of synergy with heat! That's too much!"

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry."

Jaden put away the Duel Disk, stepped forward, and extended his hand to him.

"Are you okay?"

Yuma chuckled, reached out and shook Jaden's hand as they stood up, then struck a strong pose.

"Of course, absolutely no problem!"

Yuma wasn't just putting on a brave face. Although it looked like he was knocked to the ground quite hard by the holographic impact, it was nothing to Yuma.

After all, even among the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yuma's physical abilities are among the best. Judging from the anime, Yuma's jumping ability is conservatively estimated to be at least three meters, and his physical strength is enough to tear apart security robots with his bare hands. This level of strength is not even considered tickling.

The disintegrated astral body reverted to its ghostly form, and its expression as it looked at Jaden was somewhat complicated.

"This man is also very strong," Starlight Body thought.

He and Yuma have already used all their trump cards—at least that's all they can do with their current strength.

They even managed a small breakthrough during this duel. Previously, they could only combine and transform in the alternate-dimensional environment of the simulated Astral Dimension or the Varia Dimension, but today was the first time they had successfully summoned the power of ZEXAL in the human world.

Even so, even though they all combined their powers, cheated, and openly used flashy card printing—no, flashy card drawing—they still couldn't beat them.

No, what's even more ironic is that their newly acquired cheat code was actually outmaneuvered by the opposing team, ultimately becoming the key to their one-hit kill.

Logically speaking, it's always been their Flashy Imprint that kills the opponent with a single strike. Even Hope probably never imagined that he would be killed by his own exclusive cheat weapon.

Even more frightening, the astral body had a vague premonition that this might not even be the person's full strength.

This guy named Yuki Judai might be much stronger than he's shown.

"There are actually duelists like this in the world," the astral body murmured. "Dimensional fusion, huh? What a terrifying world."

He suddenly felt a little relieved; this guy, for the time being, wasn't their enemy. He imagined what would happen if this Jaden Yuki appeared on their side, becoming a "No. Hunter" like Kaito Amagi, threatening to take all their No. Cards. At least for now, according to Astral Spectre, they would have no chance of winning.

It seems there's no other way but to obediently hand over all the "NOs" and let one's existence be erased.

Yes, the conditions for Astral Body's duels are different from those of many other No. holders; his life is closely tied to his No. card.

The first hundred No. cards are set as scattered memories of astral light. He couldn't remember who he was or why he was here, only that if he collected all one hundred No. cards, he would probably be able to recall his identity.

At the same time, he could also sense that if he lost the battle for the No., and Yuma and all the No.s he held were taken away, it would also mean the annihilation of his existence.

Therefore, for Astral, any duel involving the struggle for the title of No. 1 is a life-or-death situation. If Yuma makes even one mistake, he's finished. But it is precisely because of this that the bond between the two is so strong, allowing them to completely entrust their lives to Yuma.

As Astral Body pondered this, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward You Xuan, who remained silent to the side.

They had only used their full strength in their previous battle against Yuki Judai. Before that, he hadn't made a move, and Yuma hadn't used his full strength either. Although they had fought against Fujiki Yugen, he was basically completely overwhelmed, so it was impossible to tell what he was capable of.

However, the astral senses indicate that this guy is no pushover either. No, judging from the current situation, he should be even stronger than this Jaden Yuki.

The fusion of dimensions is truly terrifying.

Another dimension, the Varian world.

"Roar ah ah ah!"

An angry roar erupted, and red lightning struck down from the sky, carving smoking craters into the earth.

A Balian man slammed his fist into the ground in fury, the force of which made the ground seem to sink. The crimson lightning in the sky seemed to echo his anger, shaking the ground.

Not far away, another Balian flew slowly through the lightning, seemingly ignoring the thunder around him, and said, "Looks like your plan isn't going very well, Vector."

The Balian named Bekuta stood up, glanced sideways at his companion flying in from behind, and snorted, "What is this, Drube?"

The Balian Drube landed beside him: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with that 'fused' dimension? Do you need help?"

"Heh, no, it's not time yet. I'm not angry, I'm just stretching my muscles."

Vector rubbed his shoulder and said.

"Well, although the useless pieces were removed, we didn't expect them to accomplish anything anyway. At least we found out some of the opponent's strengths, so it's not bad."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a Vector-like sinister smile.

"Hehe, but there should be progress soon. This should be considered an unexpected bonus."

Drubey tilted his head: "What are you talking about, Vector? Is it about that 'King' who merged dimensions?"

Vector's smile vanished immediately upon hearing this, and he pursed his lips.

"Tch, we'll talk about that later."

He had a premonition that this so-called king might be difficult to deal with, and if possible, it would be best to put it aside for now.

When he has fully mastered the power of thousands of lords, who cares about kings or not, he can easily crush them.
And before that.
Druby: "So, what is this 'gain' you're talking about?"

"Oh, that messenger from the Starry Sky, and that little brat with him who uses 'NO.39'."

Vector squinted, shook his head, and said with a smile.

“I’ve reached an agreement with a very reliable ally, and as long as the plan goes smoothly, we should be able to easily resolve this problem. And now, hehe, let’s just wait for that kid to walk right into our trap.”
