Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1514 Our Soaring Flight

Mosquito Ninja: "Aaaaah—"

[Mosquito Ninja, LP 0]

The mosquito ninja, already small and inconspicuous, was almost completely blasted into a mosaic after being swept head-on by the Ultra Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon's Annihilation Breath.

Kaito put away his Duel Disk, his expression cold and stern, and slowly turned around, never looking at his opponent again.

No matter what methods the opponent uses, even if they resort to underhanded tactics, Kaito has already decided that he will absolutely not lose again.

Because he had only just managed to rise again as a duelist from the brink of ruin.

And even now, those words still echo in my ears.

You clearly possess the power to fight and stand up for others, yet you gave up the duel for this reason. Isn't that just shirking responsibility?
It was clearly an unpleasant sound, and even now, thinking back on it still makes my ears ache. But this very sound has become an inescapable part of Kaito's mind.

Equally lingering is the image of that guy's back, which seems to be getting further and further away from me, yet growing taller and taller.

So Kaito made his decision.

I will absolutely never lose again until I meet that guy again.

Now only Yuma's duel continues.

"Kaito's game is over too." Yuma scratched his head. "Damn it, doesn't that make me look like the worst player?"

His opponent shouted, interrupting his thoughts: "Still have time to look around?!"

Yuma turned around, his attention returning to the person opposite him.

His opponent is called "Jellyfish Monster"—probably not his real name, but that's what he's called now anyway.

This person now also has a similar form to the Balian, looking strange like a jellyfish, and the deck he uses is also jellyfish pillar, which does indeed fit his name and image.

And the ace he manipulated was also one of the thousands of fake numbers created by the master.

[NO.4 Venomous Stinging Cell - Stealth Jellyfish, Attack Power 1900]

"Activate the Spell Card 'Jellyfish Rain'!" the jellyfish monster exclaimed. "Transform all monsters on the field into WATER monsters!"

The raindrops pattered down, and the translucent blue water enveloped Hope, the King of Hope, on the racecourse, like a layer of water armor covering his body.

Yuma: "Eh? Turn my Hope into a water-type?"

"Then activate the effect of 'Stealth Jellyfish' once per turn for both you and your opponent, destroy one WATER monster on the field, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!"

The jellyfish monster laughed heartily.

"Transform into the water-attribute Hope and destroy everything!"

After being released as a physical card, the Invisible Jellyfish comes with the effect of "turning all monsters on the field into Water-type monsters," which is better than the original anime version.

In the anime, this monster-exploding effect only works against the water attribute. Alternatively, you have to use a spell or trap effect to change the opponent's attribute first, like with the jellyfish monster, before using it. Therefore, its practicality is not as good as the actual card.

"Ahhh-"

Hope was blown up, and Yuma was also thrown over by the storm, tumbling heavily to the ground.

[Yuma, LP3000 → LP500]

"That's it! Die, Yuma Tsukumo!" The jellyfish monster roared with laughter. "Attack directly with 'NO.4 Venomous Stinging Cell - Invisible Jellyfish'!"

But as Youma knelt on the ground, a rainbow of light shot out from the cemetery.

"Curry, Curry!" The chestnut ball, enveloped in rainbow-colored light, leaped onto the court.

"The effect of the Rainbow Kuriboh monster in the Graveyard!" Yuma said, "When the opponent declares a direct attack, Rainbow Kuriboh can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard to the field!"

Rainbow Kuriboh, Defense 100

The rainbow Kuriboh, in a defensive stance, was glimpsed only briefly before being pierced by the jellyfish and blasted into pieces.

"Heh, you managed to survive, huh?" the jellyfish monster sneered. "Invisible jellyfish are immortal! You'll be finished next round, you bastard." Yuma gritted his teeth.

indeed.

He had already experienced how troublesome this jellyfish, NO., was. In addition to its monster-exploding effect, this invisible jellyfish also possessed the ability to remain immortal, much like a jellyfish splitting apart.

If the Invisible Jellyfish on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect, two Xyz Monsters "Invisible Jellyfish - Folded Larva" can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck or Graveyard. Furthermore, the original Invisible Jellyfish's Xyz Materials will be converted into Xyz Materials for these two new Folded Jellyfish.

Furthermore, the jellyfish larvae that split off are essentially clones of the mother, with roughly the same attack power and effects.

In other words, no matter how the larvae are destroyed, the larvae can revive the mother. If the mother is destroyed again, she will split into larvae again, thus forming an infinite cycle, just like a jellyfish that truly possesses an infinitely multiplying and immortal body.

Youma knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Can you still stand up, Yuma?" Astral asked.

“Is that even a question? Isn’t that obvious?” Yuma chuckled, swaying as he stood up. “This is just the beginning; we haven’t even warmed up yet.”

Astral Entity smiled easily: "Yes. No matter what, you never give up and always soar to the sky. You've always been like this. From now on, no matter what difficulties you encounter or how powerful the enemy is, you'll probably continue to move forward in this way."

“That’s right. And now, it’s no longer ‘my meteoric rise,’ Starlight.” Yuma smiled.

The astral body was taken aback.

"It's 'our' soaring flight!" Yuma said with a grin. "We've fought side by side until now, and we will continue to do so now and in the future. The bond between us will cut through all obstacles, allowing us to soar to new heights and win our future!"

"Roaming horse."

Astral was stunned, stared at him for a few seconds, and then laughed heartily.

“You’re right, Yuma.”

Just then, the card box at Yuma's waist seemed to flash with golden light once again.

It was a golden light similar to the one he first encountered when the Astral Body first appeared, and the one when Hope Emperor Hope first manifested.

Astral: "We're going to win, Yuma!"

"Alright!" Yuma exclaimed with unstoppable momentum. "My turn, draw a card!"

"Activate the Equip Spell 'Xyz Vengeance'! Revive this card in Attack Position from an Xyz Monster in your Graveyard and equip it to that Xyz Monster as an Equip Card!"

I resurrected 'Hope, Number 39' from the cemetery!

[NO.39 Hope Emperor - Attack Power 2500]

The jellyfish monster remained unfazed: "Hope again? Hahaha, can't you come up with something new?"

"Then, when my HP drops below 1000, I use Hope the Emperor as Xyz Material and stack it again! Chaos Xyz Transformation! Appear! Messenger who transforms chaos into light—"

—CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hopeley!!!

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

"Is it Hope this time?" the jellyfish monster sneered.

Well, it's a monster that's in the data. Although it's very powerful, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, he currently has the card "Explosive Armor" set up in his back row, which is also a backup plan. Even if Hope weakens the attack power of his Stealth Jellyfish and attacks, he can use Explosive Armor to counterattack, truly plunging the opponent into the abyss of despair.

The jellyfish monster was calculating in his mind, while a smug smirk appeared on his lips.

Come on, bring it on with Hope Ray.

This moment will send you to hell!
However, Yuma then said, "Then I'll use 'CNO.39 Hope Emperor Hope' as Xyz Material, and activate Shining Xyz Transformation! Appear! You can even cut through lightning, Messenger of Hope—"

—(Flash ID) SNO.39 Hope Emperor - Lightning Emperor!

Jellyfish Monster: "???"

What is this thing again?!
