The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

More than just a core card, this card became the most beloved ace monster in Jaden's deck in the later stages of the original work, truly representing his protagonist status (2500 ATK).

At this moment, Manjoume snorted coldly, "What's the point of summoning a fusion monster that can only last for one turn?"

“Of course it makes sense!” Jaden continued, “Due to the effect of the Field Spell [Neuroverse], the ATK of [Elemental HERO Neos] on the field and the Fusion Monsters that use [Elemental HERO Neos] as Fusion Material increases by 500 points.”

[Elemental Heroes Sky Neos: Attack Power 2500 → 3000]

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the Equip Spell [Simplified Neocosm] from my hand. This card can only be equipped to a Fusion Monster made of Neocosmia material. That monster can return to the Deck without activating its effect during the End Phase."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

"But Sky Neos will return to the deck because of the [Easy Contact] effect, so that equipment card will be wasted." Manjoume was increasingly confused by Jaden's actions.

"No, that's good. My goal is to get it back into the deck!"

"What do you mean?"

Ignoring Manjoume's questions, Judai threw a card into the graveyard and shouted, "I'm discarding another card to activate the effect of Water Dolphin, Echo Location!"

Once per turn, you can discard 1 card to activate this effect. Reveal your opponent's hand and choose 1 monster from it. If you control a monster with an ATK equal to or greater than the chosen monster's ATK, destroy the chosen monster and inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If the chosen monster is not on your field, take 500 damage.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

Dolphin Bro: Are you there? Let's see your hand!

The next second, Dolphin opened his mouth and emitted a high-frequency sound wave. The card image in Manjoume's hand appeared before Jaden's eyes—[Pile-Driven Armored Dragon], [Armored Dragon - Armored Dragon -], [Level Up!].

Then, the pile-driving armed dragon reappeared on the field.

"A pile-driving armed dragon!?" Wan Zhangmu's pupils contracted.

Jaden clenched his fist and continued, "Since Sky Neos' attack power is higher than that of the Piling Armed Dragon, the Piling Armed Dragon will be destroyed according to the Water Wave Dolphin's effect, dealing 500 points of damage to you."

boom--! !

The armed dragon instantly exploded, turning into ashes and disappearing from the field.

"Uh...!"

【White Lightning with Ten Thousand Eyes: LP2600→2100】

"That concludes my turn."

Immediately afterward, Jaden flicked his hand and shouted, "At this moment, due to the effect of [Easy Contact], Sky Neos returns to the deck."

Sky Neos then transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Jaden's deck before disappearing from the field.

"However, when the equipped monster leaves the field, another effect of [Simple Neos Universe] is activated, allowing you to Special Summon one [Elemental HERO Neos] from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."

"Come on, Neo-Universe Warriors!"

Suddenly, a white figure traversed from the stars and the universe, and a warrior resembling Ultraman landed beside Jaden.

"Based on the effects of [Neocene], Neocosm's attack power has increased!"

[Elemental Hero Neos: Attack Power 2500 → 3000]

In the following round, the control of the game shifted to Manjoume.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Manjoume White Lightning Hand Card: 2→3]

Looking at the cards he had drawn, Manjoume's lips curled into a mad grin, and he said coldly, "Watch how I crush all your monsters, Judai!"

He immediately took two cards from the graveyard and said, "I activate the other effect of the Ritual Spell 'Armored Dragon' from the graveyard, banishing monsters from my hand and field with a combined Level of 4 or higher, along with this card, to Special Summon 'Armored Dragon Paladin' from my graveyard. This effect cannot be activated during the turn this card is sent to the graveyard."

"Based on this card's effect, I banish this card from my graveyard and the Level 4 [Armored Dragon] from my hand."

[Manjoume White Lightning Hand Card: 3→2]

"Awaken, [Armored Dragon Paladin]!"

hum!

A beam of white light shot out from the entrance of his tomb, and the paladin riding the armored dragon reappeared.

【Armored Dragon Paladin: Attack Power 1900】

Chapter 150 Armed Dragon LV10-White

After reviving the Paladin, Manjoume continued, "I'll activate the monster effect of [Armored Dragon Paladin] once more and Special Summon [Armored Dragon LV5] from my Deck!"

In a flash of light, the paladin vanished from the field once more, followed by a beam of light shooting up from the ground, revealing a fat, armed dragon.

[Armed Dragon LV5: Attack Power 2400]

After summoning Armed Dragon LV5, Manjoume didn't immediately upgrade it with a magic card. Instead, he waved his arm and roared, "Let's fight! Crush that Water Wave Dolphin!"

"Take this, Armed Storm!"

Roar!

After letting out a roar, Fat Dragon rushed towards Dolphin Brother and slapped him with its claws, seemingly about to smash him to pieces.

However, at that moment, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of the Armored Dragon, blocking its attack.

Clang!

At the same time, a card popped out of Jaden's graveyard: "By banishing [Necromancer] from the graveyard as the cost, activate this effect; negate one of your opponent's attacks!"

"Tch!" Manjoume clicked his tongue in displeasure upon hearing this. "A troublesome fellow...!"

"But my turn isn't over yet..."

As he spoke, he tossed out a magic card.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Level Up!' from my hand to upgrade 'Armed Dragon LV5' on the field to 'Armed Dragon LV7'!"

[Manjoume White Lightning Hand Card: 2→1]

hum!

A thick beam of light suddenly shot out from beneath Armored Dragon LV5's feet, engulfing its figure. The next second, a fully armed and imposing dragon appeared on the field.

【Wuji Armored Dragon LV7: Attack Power 2800】

"Foolish fellow, let me show you just how powerful I am now that I've been blessed by the light!"

Without hesitation, he threw the last card in his hand into the graveyard and shouted, "Activate the effect of [Armed Dragon LV7]: Discard one monster from your hand, and destroy all monsters with an attack power lower than that monster's!"

"I discard [Armed Dragon LV10] from my hand to destroy all monsters on your field with an attack power of 3000 or less!"

[Manjoume White Lightning Hand Card: 1→0]

"You actually discarded [Armed Dragon LV10]? I remember that card's effect is to destroy all of your opponent's monsters by discarding one card from your hand." Jaden suddenly realized, "I see. You deliberately didn't upgrade Armed Dragon earlier so that it could be upgraded further, but since the attack failed, you had no choice but to give up the upgrade to destroy my monsters."

Manjoume snorted coldly, "Hmph, so what if you understand? You can't stop the monsters from being wiped out!"

"Go! [Armed Dragon LV7], Annihilation Light Wheel!"

At its command, the three rows of saw blades on the belly of the armed dragon spun wildly, and three beams of light shot out instantly, heading towards the opposite side.

boom--! !

The moment the attack landed on Jaden's field, it created a violent explosion that engulfed all of his monsters.

When the dust settled, Jaden's monsters had disappeared from the field.

Asuka clenched her fists, her voice trembling with anxiety: "This is bad! All the monsters on Jaden's field have been wiped out...!"

Meanwhile, Jaden shrugged nonchalantly: "Duck, duck~! Looks like I was a bit careless... but the duel isn't over yet!"

Next up was Judai's turn to play.

So he abruptly ended his opponent's turn and promptly drew a card from the deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

After glancing at his hand, Jaden first drew another card from his hand and placed it on the Duel Disk: "I summon Earth Mole once again in Attack Position!"

hum!

A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and the Earth Mole reappeared in front of him.

【New Space Warrior - Earth Mole: Attack Power 900】

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

Upon seeing the monster again, Manjoume sneered, "Hmph! It's that annoying monster again. Do you think the same tricks will work on me? I was careless and missed my chance the first time, but this time I won't let you use your power again!"

"Trap Card [Destruction Wheel] activated. During your opponent's turn, destroy one monster on your opponent's field. Both players take damage equal to the ATK of that monster!"

"What?!" Judai's pupils contracted upon hearing about the card.

A metal ring containing eight grenades was projected onto the ground mole's neck and quickly slipped around its neck. Before it could react, the bombs detonated.

boom--! !

The earth mole didn't even have time to scream before it was instantly blasted to ashes.

“Ugh…”

[Yujo Jaden: LP4500→3600]

【White Lightning with Ten Thousand Eyes: LP2100→1200】

Undeterred, Jaden played his card without hesitation, "In that case, I'll activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand."

"Using the effect of this card, I return five monsters from my graveyard—[Cocoon Chick], [Cocoon Mole], [Neo Spacian Sky Hummingbird], [Neo Spacian Water Dolphin], and [Neo Spacian Earth Mole]—to my deck, and then draw two cards from my deck."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

Jaden glanced at his two cards and saw a trap card with five Neo Spacians and Elemental HERO Neos drawn on one of them. A glint flashed in Jaden's eyes.

Without hesitation, he placed it in the back row, "Setting a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

He then played a spell card: "Spell Card [Reinforcement] activated. Add one Level 4 or lower Warrior monster from your Deck to your hand."

"I add the [Neo-Cosmic Connector] from my deck to my hand, and that ends my turn."

Upon seeing that Judai could only be defeated by a card, Manjoume laughed excitedly.

"Hahaha! It seems you've finally run out of tricks. You can't escape your fate of defeat, Judai!"

"O light that shines on everything, give me more light... give me more light!"

“Give me more light!!”

Give me light!

“Give me light!!”

Judai & Asuka:......

Seeing a group of students who looked like cult members made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Manjoume looked at the card in his hand and laughed again, "Hahahaha! It's here! The card that represents the light of truth has finally come into my hands!"

"You can Special Summon this card from your hand by banishing a total of 10 Level [Armed Dragon] cards from the field and Graveyard."

"I'll exclude the [Armed Dragon LV10] from the cemetery..."

He raised the card in his hand and shouted, "Appear, [Armed Dragon LV10 - White]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light shot into the sky, and a silver-white armed dragon was born from the light.

[Armed Dragon LV10 - White: Attack Power 3000]

Chapter 151 Contact and Fusion

Roar--! !

The silver-white armed dragon roared fiercely upon its appearance, exuding a powerful aura.

Looking at the colossal dragon, Jaden sensed a strange power that disagreed with the forces of darkness, and frowned slightly: 'Is this what corresponds to those anomalous cards...?!'
