Duels should be played with a smile.

At the same time, he finally let down his guard and began to re-examine the scroll that he had previously taken into his hands, which was said to be a painting he had drawn himself in his childhood.

He hasn't made a decision yet on whether to accept this power, but at the very least, a seed has been planted in his heart.

“I haven’t lost in a long time. No, I should say I haven’t lost since that defeat that I won without being defeated. And now, after witnessing this power, I’m a little curious.”

"I wonder if you could let me relive that long-lost feeling?"

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so 'arrogant' now?"

"What I really want to ask you is, do you think you have a chance now?"

“Yes,” Jaden replied nonchalantly. “At the very least, before you wipe out my LP, I will have a chance during one of your special recruitments.”

Leyou was now truly intrigued. He stared intently at Judai, his eyes scanning back and forth across the Overlord Armor, as if trying to see right through him.

Although it sounds a bit like a joke, Leyou just wanted to put some psychological pressure on Jaden through this behavior.

Needless to say, students are generally afraid of teachers, let alone this student who used to be beaten by teachers every day. Such an inhumane life would probably leave anyone with some psychological trauma.

As expected, after feeling Leyou's somewhat strange gaze, Judai also felt awkward all over. More than ten seconds later, Leyou saw Judai on the other side turn his head slightly to one side, as if avoiding Leyou's gaze.

"Heh~ Interesting. That guy is really something, he actually managed to leave such a deep impression on you."

That brat is pretty good too; he actually managed to make Judai feel like he was defeated even though he was invincible.

'Defeat without defeat...I Have a Plan! I feel like I've come up with a really fun plan...'

Leyou nodded slightly, no longer looking at Judai, and began to count his own cards.

"Then, let my plan begin!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Contact Separation]: Return 1 face-up Fusion Monster with [Neuro] in its name that you control to your Deck. If a set of Fusion Materials listed on the monster that returned to your Extra Deck is gathered in your Deck, you can Special Summon that set of monsters."

"I will return Nebula Neos to the Extra Summon and Special Summon Earth Mole, Dark Panther, and Neos!"

Ultraman should run away when his time is up, and if necessary, he can run away earlier.

"Oh, right, let me tell you a scary story... I can draw four more cards now!"

"The alien gift can't be used once per turn, so I'll activate the second one and draw four more cards!"

With a handful of cards in his hand, Leyou really didn't know how he could lose.

This is like playing against someone with a deck!

"Dark Panther was previously Special Summoned with its effects negated, but after it wandered around the deck for a while, it was able to activate its effects."

"Dark Panther's effect: Target Chaosman on your field. Until the End Phase, this card gains the same card name and effect as Chaosman's original card name and effect."

"Dark Panther! Profound Dark Fantasy!"

At Leyou's command, the Dark Panther, who had been lying on the ground, stood up, his cloak fluttering behind him. A dark shadow stretched forward from beneath the Dark Panther, connecting him with Chaos Knight.

Then, the Dark Panther slowly transformed into the Chaos Knight.

"Now, I have Kang too~"

It was obtained for free.

Chaos Knight, as the only hero, had a rather difficult time getting him into the game, but now, Leyou has just gotten him for free.

Isn't it beautiful!

However, with Leyu's several special summons, Jaden also drew a few cards, but he hasn't made any moves yet, and his face-down cards are still not being used, which has left Leyu somewhat at a loss.

Until the card is revealed, my plans can't be moved.

"Dark Panther, use the copied Chaos Knight's effect to nullify the Fear Destroyer effect!"

Somewhat abruptly, an invalid card was wasted. Leyou noticed that at that moment, Jaden's hand, which was holding the card, pinched a card between his index finger and thumb.

'Hmph, it seems they've got some skills. In that case, time to pull off another scam.'

Once the idea is in place, action must follow immediately.

"Judai!" Leyou shouted, drawing Judai's attention. "Watch closely, next, I will show you the final form of Neo-Universe!"

"Final form?!"

"That's right! The final and strongest form!"

Hmm... If it's the animated version, then it's definitely the strongest. As for the OCG version, forget it, it gets crushed by the Order Neos.

If it weren't for the goal, Leyou would have simply brought out an Order Neos and had a "harmonious and friendly" "friendly exchange" with Jaden.

"Final fusion! Confirmed!"

"Activate the Spell Card [Fusion]!"

"The materials required are at least one monster each with the names containing the characters 【新宇】, 【新空间侠】, and 【英雄】, for a total of 5 monsters!"

"Such complicated requirements?!" Jaden couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "Just now, only 3 materials were needed to draw a card and get a negation, so this 5-material requirement..."

"So, just you wait and see!"

A vortex representing fusion appeared in front of Leyou, and Xinyuxia nodded slightly to Judai before stepping into it first.

"I'll use five monsters from the field—Neuromancer, Radiant Moss, Earth Mole, Water Wave Dolphin, and Dark Panther—as materials..."

"Wait?! This material of yours doesn't have any heroes!" Judai felt like he had been misled and immediately interrupted again.

New Universe Hero possesses both the New Universe and Hero fields, but the same material cannot be used as two materials that meet the conditions.

"Who said I don't? I haven't, and you haven't either?"

"The current Dark Panther card is called [Anti-Hero Chaos Knight]!"

Judai's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, wanting to retract it but feeling somewhat embarrassed.

There was nothing wrong with what Leyou said, but something just felt off.

"Alright, let's put aside all the unnecessary things and witness the arrival of this great being!"

As the five monsters were successively absorbed by the fusion vortex, many strange phenomena occurred on the field.

The most eye-catching thing was the Jaden's jet-black armor—at this moment, a faint golden light shimmered beneath the black breastplate.

Points of light can be seen through the joints of the armor.

It seems... the spirit of the New Universe Knights is about to be awakened by the being who is about to arrive.

"Great light from the newborn universe! With your golden wings, shower down your most sincere blessings!"

"Ultimate Fusion Summon! In the name of the gods, descend!"

"【Elemental Hero God: Neo-Universe Warrior】!"

[Light - 12★ - Warrior - Attack Power 2500]

Within the swirling vortex of light, a magnificent warrior in golden wings and armor slowly emerged, enveloped in radiance. Beneath the golden armor lay a flawless physique, its muscles and lines seemingly cast from steel, as if sketched by a divine brush.

The golden wings on his back are synonymous with "inclusiveness," and his wingspan of several meters is enough to shine his brilliance upon all those who aspire to the light.

"This is... God Neo-Universe Warrior?"

As Jaden gazed at the great warrior who had given him such a sense of familiarity, he couldn't help but murmur aloud. Beneath those golden wings, he felt his somewhat stiff body now being filled with the warm sunlight.

It felt so comfortable, like being back in my mother's arms.

"That's right, this is the Divine Universe Warrior, this is the ultimate power that should have belonged to you."

Yes, it's just the ultimate, not necessarily the strongest.

"Is that so... In that case, I must give it the respect it deserves. I'll use the card I just drew."

Jaden laughed—or rather, he laughed because of the arrival of the God Neos, because with the arrival of the God Neos, he drew a very useful card.

He could sense the immense power possessed by Shen Xinyuxia.

Therefore, when faced with a powerful monster appearing opposite him, he chose...

"The effect of [Effect Veiler] in your hand: During your opponent's Main Phase, send this card from your hand to the Graveyard, then target any of your Neos on the field and negate them until the end of the turn."

"Just wondering, does your Divine Universe Knight have any target-targeting resistance?"

Upon seeing the appearance of the one whose effects were obscured, Leyou felt a mix of emotions.

Although the God Neos seems to have a lot of prestige, whether it's the 12 stars on its head or the 5 monsters of 3 different types, they can all be considered top-tier.

But the results were truly disappointing.

Leyou summoned him without expecting anything in return, but ended up tricking Xiaozhe into appearing, which can be described as a lucky accident.

This is perfect, it saves Leyou from making that embarrassing commentary—target resistance? Think again, it's just a 12-star blank slate.

However, Jaden's blatant attempt to force a fight made Leyou wonder if all the preparations he had made before the duel had been in vain.

You obtained these key cards by drawing a lot of cards, so does Jaden really rely entirely on luck to get them?

This doesn't seem right—but then he thought about Jaden's luck in the anime, and suddenly he felt that it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"You're really putting me in a difficult position... Oh well, luckily, I have a card on hand that can probably offer some protection."

Ignoring the instantly deflated Shen Xinyu Xia, Leyou acted like a heartless capitalist, completely disregarding the fact that the remaining value of the person had already been squeezed dry.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Contact Gate' to banish Earth Mole and Glowing Moss from my Graveyard, and Special Summon 2 different 'Neo Spacian' monsters from my Deck."

"I choose to recruit the Dark Panther and the Wave Dolphin through special recruitment!"

The Gate of Light appears, and the new Spaceman uses his power to guide his companions there.

Jaden was not prevented from using the effect of the Contact Gate, but with this special summon, Jaden's hand continued to grow.

"Dark Panther's effect is once per turn, not the card name's once per turn. Therefore, copy your Chaos Knight again!"

"A profound and dark fantasy!"

"Then comes the effect of Water Wave Dolphin, which can be activated once by discarding one card from your hand. I discard [Cross Guardian]."

"Check your hand, choose 1 monster from it. If you control a monster with an ATK equal to or greater than the chosen monster, destroy the chosen monster and inflict 500 damage to your opponent. Otherwise, inflict 500 damage to yourself."

Leyu only has 500 LP left, and the highest attack power on the field is God Neos with 2500. If Jaden has all monsters with 2500 or more LP in his hand, then Leyu has really locked himself in a life-saving state.

"Come on, be good, listen to me, let me see!"

As the water dolphin cupped its hands into a megaphone shape and emitted a sound wave towards Judai's hand, even though Judai still looked unwilling, he had no choice but to publicly display his current hand.

"Hiss... Good heavens!"
