Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

The strong wind made the robes of You Yang and the man with the horn mask flutter loudly, and even the staff members responsible for maintaining order on the sidelines couldn't help but subconsciously raise their arms to shield themselves.

"Be born from the vortex of evolution!"

"【Elemental Heroes: Storm Neos】!"

Boom! ...

With a deafening roar like a star exploding, the massive nebula suddenly burst open!

From within descends a brand new, never-before-seen ultimate hero!

His body body inherited the streamlined and agile physique of [Elemental Hero Neos], but his originally pure white armor was now stained with a deep dark blue, like the eve of a storm.

His shoulders were covered with magnificent and sturdy wing armor made of the pink feathers of the [New Space Knight - Sky Hummingbird].

But beneath that armor were a pair of even longer, sharper, pure white wings!

His arms were equipped with three pairs of extremely sharp blades formed from the fins of the [New Space Warrior - Wave Dolphin], which gleamed with a terrifying cold light under the illumination of the surrounding stars.

His enormous wings suddenly unfurled, each gentle flap creating a powerful gust of air visible to the naked eye.

Everyone present instinctively covered their eyes, unable to look directly at that powerful and dazzling radiance belonging to a hero!

【Elemental Heroes: Storm Neos】【★9】【Wind/Warrior/Fusion/Effect】【Attack: 3000 / Defense: 2500】

"Contact fusion?!"

The composure and confidence on the man's face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a genuine shock that even the hideous mask could not completely conceal.

As a fellow veteran of Fusion Summoning, he had no idea that there was such a summoning method in the world that could be performed without using any magic cards!

He originally thought that his "Predatory Plant" ability, which could fuse with the opponent's monsters, was already unusual enough.

Unexpectedly, what You Yang possessed was an even more unbelievable "contact fusion"!

A fierce wind swept through, and You Yang stood amidst it, his clothes fluttering wildly. He slowly raised his hand, pointed at the equally shocked man in the bull-horned mask opposite him, and said in a deep voice:

"I activate the effect of [Elemental HERO Storm Neos] on the field!"

"Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on the field!"

【Elemental Heroes: Storm Neos】slowly flapped its huge wings and came into the air.

On its chest, a rapidly spinning blue cyclone composed of gale-force winds is quickly condensing!

The powerful wind pressure caused the four face-down cards behind the horned masked man to shake violently, as if they would be torn to shreds at any moment!

The man in the bull-horned mask's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately snapped out of his shock.

"Don't think about it!"

"At this very moment!"

"I activate the effect of [Predatory Hercules]!"

"Once per turn, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls."

"Place a predator on that monster."

"A Level 2 or higher monster with a Predator Counter is upgraded to Level 1. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn."

"I activate this effect by targeting your [Elemental HERO Storm Neos]!"

"Place a predator on it!"

The man in the bull-horn mask wiped the sweat from his cheeks, thinking to himself how close he had come to disaster.

Fortunately, he reacted in time; otherwise, his four carefully arranged cards in the back row would have been completely wasted.

Although the significance of the [Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horn] effect seems unclear.

After all, even if the star rating of [Elemental Heroes: Storm Neos] is lowered, it won't change anything.

Its effect is that it will still activate normally as intended.

However, the [Plant-eating Rhinoceros Horn] has more than just this effect!

Its second effect is that as long as this card is in the Monster Zone, the effects of monsters activated by your opponent that have Predator Counters will be negated!

In other words, as long as he successfully places a predator counter on [Elemental Hero Storm Neos], then the effect activated by Youyang will be completely nullified!

"I knew you'd have this trick up your sleeve!"

With a carefree smile on his lips, You Yang inserted another card into the Duel Disk!

Chapter 115 Fourfold Chain! Masked Hero Gust Descends!

The [Plant-eating Rhinoceros] let out a malicious roar, and the huge and alluring five-petaled predatory flower on its back suddenly opened completely!

At the center of the flower's stamen, the energy core that shimmered with an ominous light burst forth with a powerful, spreading dark purple glow, like a plague!

Immediately afterwards, the predatory flower on the back of the [Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] suddenly fired a dark purple energy ball filled with viscous liquid and tiny barbs from its core!

The ball of light traced a strange arc in the air, carrying an aura that seemed capable of corroding everything, and shot straight toward the chest of [Elemental Hero Storm Neos]!

However, just as the ball of light was about to hit the core of [Elemental Hero Storm Neos]'s chest!

The figure of [Elemental Hero Storm Neos] vanished from the field in a flash, as if it had merged into the wind!

"What's going on?!"

The man with the bull horn mask was startled.

You Yang picked up the card "Elemental HERO Storm Neos" from the Duel Disk and sent it to the Graveyard. A smug smile appeared on his face, which was covered by a mask.

"I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Chain effect with [Predatory Hercules]!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Mask Change]!"

You can target 1 "Hero" monster you control to activate this effect.

"Confirm the monster's attributes and send it to the graveyard."

"If this effect causes that monster to leave the field, Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster with the same Attribute from your Extra Deck."

"I target the [Elemental HERO Storm Neos] on the field and send it to the Graveyard to activate this effect!"

"Elemental HERO Storm Neos is a WIND monster! Therefore, I can Special Summon one WIND 'Masked HERO' monster from my Extra Deck!"

He had been waiting for this moment for so long!

During the two weeks he spent resting at home, You Yang had already carefully considered how to build his deck based on the dueling environment of this world.

The dueling environment in this world is very different from the environment I was in in my previous life.

Here, it's not that no one chooses to attack first, but the decks that attack first are either like the Golden Demon and Thunderclap decks we've faced before, which focus on blocking the opponent's actions.

Alternatively, it could be like Li Yun before, relying mainly on a bunch of trap cards.

In contrast, Kang is in the minority in this world.

Therefore, cards with field-wide destruction effects become especially important.

Although Youyang broke through the Golden Demon's numerous blockades, the combination of the Heavenly Thunder and the Ghost Rabbit was not stable.

He can't guarantee he'll hit it every time.

The reason is simple: the key card, [Ghost Rabbit], cannot be reliably retrieved.

Therefore, You Yang turned his attention to the Extra Deck.

The "Hero" deck was the first choice Youyang made.

Although You Yang's development this time seems unstable, it is not actually so.

Because whether it's [New Space Hero - Sky Hummingbird], [New Space Hero - Water Wave Dolphin], or [Elemental Hero New Space Hero], Youyang has plenty of ways to accurately send them to the graveyard.

Once it's placed in the cemetery, the rest is quite simple.

Among these, the seemingly most crucial [Mask Change] can also be retrieved by the effects of the "Hero" deck!

Damn!

The man in the bull horn mask never expected that You Yang would have this trick up his sleeve!

Now, he's in a difficult position.

Originally, he had a crucial trap card in his back row—[Predator Plan]!

This card can be activated by sending 1 "Predator Plant" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

The effect is to place 1 Predator Counter on each of the face-up monsters on the field.

Therefore, even though You Yang dodged the single-target nullification effect of his [Predatory Plant Rhinoceros], he wasn't afraid at all.

At worst, he could simply open the card and continue opening more stores, following the success of Shangyang.

If you also mark the monsters that You Yang summons with "predator counters", you can eventually nullify the activation of his monster effects.

Although he didn't want to hand over this crucial card so early, he had no choice but to do so in this situation.

But! He never expected that You Yang would directly sacrifice [Elemental Hero Storm Neos] and send it to the graveyard!

Therefore, even if he were to activate the [Predator Plan] now, it would be of no use.

Since [Elemental Hero Storm Neos] is no longer on the field, its effect can no longer place predator counters on it.

Looking at his four face-down cards, which were teetering on the brink of collapse due to the impending devastating effect of [Elemental HERO Storm Neos], the horned masked man gritted his teeth and began to flip them over one by one!

"Chain the effect of your [Mask Transformation]!"

"I activate the trap card—[Predator Plan]!"

You can activate this effect by sending 1 "Predator Plant" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

"Place one predator on each of the face-up monsters on the field."

"Monsters with a predator placed at level 2 or higher will have their level reduced to level 1."

"I choose to send [Predatory Plant Hydra] to the graveyard from my deck!"

Place one Predator Counter on each of the remaining face-up monsters on the field!

"And lower their ranks!"
