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

The light drew You Yang's deck, and a card popped out automatically, arcing through the air before landing precisely in his hand.

The card felt scalding hot to the touch, and without the slightest hesitation, You Yang immediately slammed it into the magic area of ​​the Duel Disk.

"Next, I'll activate the Spell Card from my hand—[EN-Neocosmic War]!"

It was as if a door to the starry sky had opened above the dueling arena, and dazzling starlight began to fall.

"Only one card with this name can be activated per turn."

"As a trade-off, during the turn this card is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck unless I am a Fusion Monster."

You Yang's voice was strong and clear:

"Its effect is—you can activate this effect by sending 1 'Neo Spacman' monster and 1 'Elemental HERO' monster from your hand and 1 from your Deck to the Graveyard."

Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster or a Level 5 or higher "Elemental HERO" monster from your Deck, and add 1 "Fusion" monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

He quickly revealed his last card from his hand, pointing to his deck at the same time:

"I'm sending 'Neo-Tecton Master Earth Mole' from my deck and 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist Lady' from my hand to the graveyard!"

The two cards transformed into two streaks of light that rushed into the starry sky gate, as if they were offerings to the universe.

Immediately afterwards, an even more vast and pure power poured down from the doorway.

"Furthermore, if the monster Special Summoned by this effect is 'Elemental HERO Neos,' its ATK increases by 1000!"

"But what I want to summon is the rebirth of the Neocosmic power!"

"Special Summon [Elemental HERO Neos] from my deck!!"

"bring it on!!"

"【Elemental Heroes: Neo-Elf】!!"

Countless specks of white light converged wildly between You Yang's two fingers, eventually materializing into a brand new card!

Amidst the dazzling starlight, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure slowly emerged.

It has the outline of a Neo-Universe Warrior, but its body is in a semi-transparent spiritual state, as if it were formed from pure light and spiritual power.

Beneath the transparent armor flowed a galaxy-like radiance, carrying an inviolable and sacred majesty, descending once more upon this battlefield!

The new Yuxia also gained new power from this bond!

【Elemental Heroes: Neo-Elf】

【★7】【Light/Warrior/Effect】【Attack: 2500 / Defense: 2000】

"At this very moment!"

You Yang's voice pierced through the smoke of battle as he swung his arm, signaling the start of the chain reaction.

"The aftereffect handling of the spell card [EN - New Universe Intervention]!"

"I've added the Spell Card 'Fusion' to my hand from my deck!"

As he declared, a classic magic card slowly drifted down from the starlight portal above his head, leading to a new universe, and transformed into an orange streak of light that entered Youyang's palm.

"Then, the moment [Elemental Hero: Neos Elf] appeared on the field, its effect activated!"

The translucent heroic spirit on the field, radiating the glow of the Milky Way, slightly raised its arm, the crystal on its chest shimmering with dazzling light.

"This effect can only be activated if this card is successfully Special Summoned."

"I can add 1 Spell/Trap Card or Fusion Spell Card with the name of an 'Elemental HERO' monster from my Deck to my hand."

You Yang's fingers flew across the deck at lightning speed:

"I've chosen to add the Spell Card—[EN Wave]—to my hand from my deck!"

"Finally, this chain will come to an end!"

"Chain 3!"

"The effect of [Elemental Hero: Lady of the Mist] activates in the graveyard!"

"This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 'HERO' monster from your Deck to your hand, except 'Elemental HERO Lady of the Mist'."

A glint flashed in You Yang's eyes as he precisely drew the last card:

"I've chosen to add [Masked Hero: Twilight Raven] to my hand from my deck!"

In an instant, the dueling arena was ablaze with light.

The orange light of fusion, the silvery starlight of the New Universe Elves, and the dark, ghostly light emanating from the graveyard intertwined.

Three streaks of light, like birds returning to their nests, converged simultaneously in front of Youyang.

With a swift and decisive gesture, You Yang firmly grasped the three key cards into his hand, his movements swift and powerful.

This series of fluid and seamless maneuvers left Lilith, watching from the sidelines, completely stunned.

She stood in the wind, her hands unconsciously covering her mouth, her purple eyes wide with disbelief.

She had already witnessed the power of the Yu Yang Hero deck.

Whether it was his dazzling initial moves or his breakthroughs in dire situations, You Yang demonstrated extraordinary dueling prowess.

That completely overturned her stereotype that "hero decks are just acrobatics".

But at that time, Youyang used a deck built with a mix of heroes, with each type of hero complementing the other's strengths and weaknesses.

Therefore, Lilith always believed that the Hero deck must work together in that way to unleash its true power.

However, the scene before her eyes once again shattered her understanding.

At this moment, the two Youyang players on the duel field are using completely different hero systems.

Gray Wanderer uses a pure combination of [Destiny Heroes] and [Evil Heroes], while Wanderer adheres to the bond between [Elemental Heroes] and [New Space].

Even so, Grey Wanderer still managed to unleash an astonishingly exaggerated offensive in the first turn. The hand deficit problem that ordinary fusion decks fear most seemed to be nonexistent in his case.

What's even more astonishing is what Youyang is doing.

Faced with a situation where all monster effects were blocked and attack power was overwhelming, he not only successfully cleared his opponent's field, but also instantly retrieved three cards at the moment when his resources seemed to be exhausted, replenishing a large amount of hand resources in one go!

"Is this... Youyang's true power?"

Lilith murmured to herself, looking at that figure from behind, a strange sense of awe welling up inside her.

"It seems that no matter what kind of deck it is, he can turn the rotten into the magical..."

"It's not just that the deck is strong, it's that the person using the deck is ridiculously strong!"

Inside the dueling arena.

"Your last card was [Elemental Hero: Shadow Mist Lady]?"

Gray Youyang looked at the resources that had instantly filled Youyang's hand. Although his indifferent face did not show much emotion, a hint of curiosity still appeared between his brows.

In that situation just now, he thought that the last trump card You Yang had been holding was a powerful magic spell that could turn the tide, or a trump card monster.

Unexpectedly, it was the [Elemental Hero: Shadow Mist Lady] who served as the starting point.

As You Yang organized his newly acquired cards, he smiled and nodded, his eyes clear:

"Yes."

"If it weren't for your effect of [Destiny Hero - Ruler], which deliberately placed [New Trick Room - Earth Mole] at the top of my deck, I probably would have had a tough time in this game."

He waved the card in his hand:

"If I didn't have the Earth Mole as a normal summoning point and EN switch material, I would be forced to use [Elemental HERO - Lady of the Mist] as a sacrifice. In that case, I would still be able to break through your blockade."

"But we will still lose a lot of resources."

"So, I have to thank you for this. You really helped me a lot."

Hearing You Yang's half-joking tone, the gray-clad You Yang shrugged indifferently, his gray trench coat swaying slightly with his movement.

"It doesn't matter."

He said calmly,

"My deck doesn't include [New Trick Room], so I don't have the ability to see your entire deck composition."

"The operation just now was merely the optimal solution based on probability."

Since he couldn't use the power of the new space to "see" the future like You Yang did, he could only lay traps according to his own tactical logic.

but……

Gray Youyang raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the three cards that Youyang had just replenished, before returning his gaze to his own field.

There, the enormous phantom of a clock tower loomed in and out of sight, and the giant bound in chains—[Destiny Hero - Fear Man]—was radiating a chilling aura. Its attack and defense power of up to 3100, as well as the destruction resistance granted to all Destiny Heroes, were its greatest assets at this moment.

"So what if you get three more cards in your hand?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Gray Sun's lips, his eyes radiating absolute confidence:

As long as [Destiny Hero - Fear Man] stands on the field, my Destiny Heroes are immortal.

Want to take me down in this round? That's an absolutely impossible fantasy.

At most, all Youyang can do now is to expand the scene a little and accumulate some cemetery resources.

Gray Yang coldly observed his opponent's actions, but remained as calm as a mountain.

With the destruction resistance provided by [Destiny Hero - Fear Man] and the second-speed card-bombing interference of [Destiny Hero - Destruction Phoenix Man], he didn't think You Yang's field could be very large.

What's more, he was currently holding a "powerful killing move" card that he had just drawn through the effect of [Destiny Hero - Discman].

That was the final key to victory.

Seeing no response from the other side, You Yang waited no longer, raised his arm, and declared loudly:

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

"This effect can only be activated during one's main phase."

Return this card to its owner's Deck, then Special Summon 1 "Elemental HERO" Normal Monster from the Deck!

On the field, the semi-transparent heroic warrior nodded slightly, then transformed into a sky full of starlight and dissipated.

You Yang pointed to the deck, his voice booming:

"A brief separation is for a better return!"
