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

The next second, the emerald on the back of the jade turtle suddenly shot out a large number of stone arrows, which pierced through the man who drew the gun and exploded into dust with a bang.

"Hmm...!"

[Yujo Jaden: LP3800→2800]

“You’re quite capable, John.”

John grinned smugly: "Hey, I'm pretty strong, right?"

"It's really not bad."

“It’s not over yet…” John placed another card into the Spell & Trap slot. “I’ll bury one more card, end of turn.”

John Anderson's hand cards: 3 → 2

As he announced the end of his turn, Jaden hurriedly shouted, "At the moment your turn ends, activate the Trap Card 'Territory Reinforcement' to Special Summon one Level 2 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your Deck!"

"Come on, cross-hauler!"

The next moment, a golden light flashed across the field, and a warrior wearing thick crimson armor appeared beside him.

Cross-Traffic Carrier: Defense 400

“A card I’ve never seen before…” John swallowed nervously upon seeing this.

At this point, control of the game was once again transferred to the Jade Emperor.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

After drawing the card, Jaden didn't rush to check his hand. Instead, he said, "During this preparation phase, another effect of the Graveyard's Gunner activates!"

If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect during your next Standby Phase. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. If this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it.

A beam of white light shot out from the graveyard opening on the duel disk, and the figure of the gun-wielder reappeared.

[Destiny Hero: Gunner - Attack Power 1600]

"And once again activate the special effect of the Gunner: when this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a HERO monster, both players draw one card from their Deck, including the card itself."

"Another hand replenishment...?"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

John Anderson's hand cards: 2 → 3

Then, Jaden pointed to the smaller Ultraman and said, "Next, [Elemental Hero Subnex] is a dual monster, so I will summon it again to obtain its hidden abilities!"

Immediately, a white light emanated from the little Ultraman, and in the blink of an eye, he grew into a larger Ultraman.

Chapter 208 The Ancient City of Rainbows

"That's Neo-Ultraman! That's so cool!" Looking at the grown-up Ultraman, John asked in confusion, "But where's Sub-Neo-Ultraman?"

"The monster right in front of you is it!"

"what?"

Jaden didn't mince words and quickly explained, "Neosynthetic is originally Neosynthetic in its undeveloped state, so when Neosynthetic is summoned a second time, its effect is that as long as this card is on the field, it is treated as [Elemental HERO Neosynthetic].

"So that's it..."

John nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he had no further questions, and gestured for Judai to continue.

Without hesitation, Jaden drew a card from his hand and shouted, "Now I activate the monster effect of Cross Transporter!"

You can target 1 monster you control; send that monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Neo Skull Monster from your hand.

"I send this card to the Graveyard and Special Summon [Neo-Spacian Sky Hummingbird] from my hand."

As he slammed the card onto the duel disk, a burst of golden light appeared on the field, and the silhouette of a hummingbird in the sky followed.

【New Space Hero - Sky Hummingbird: Attack Power 800】

"And when Cross Transporter is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can choose another Neo Spacman monster from my deck to add to my hand."

"I chose the [New Space Hero - Water Wave Dolphin]".

Then Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Sky Hummingbird, Neos, the two monsters make contact and fuse!"

In an instant, Ultraman and the red birdman flew into the air, their figures overlapping and touching, bursting forth with dazzling light.

"Appear, Sky Neos!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of enormous wings spread out, and the crimson Ultraman descended.

"When your health is lower than the opponent's health, the difference is added to Sky New Universe's attack power."

[Elemental Heroes Sky Neos: Attack Power 2500 → 3700]

"Ah~, Sky Neos! This guy is so cool!"

“It’s not over yet!” Jaden inserted another card into the Spell & Trap Card slot on the Duel Disk: “I’ll equip the Equip Spell [To the Five Heroes] to Sky Neos.”

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 3]

After completing his preparations, Jaden immediately launched his attack: "Let's fight!"

"And at the very moment the battle begins, the effect of the Equip Spell [Beloved Hero] activates, and the Field Spell [Neocosm] is activated from the Deck!"

Swish!

As his duel disk read the field information, the surrounding environment rapidly transformed into a strange cosmic space.

"According to the effect of [Neocene], Sky Neos's attack power increases by 500 points. When there is a Field Spell on your field, Sky Neos equipped with [Beloved Hero] gains its original defense power and will not be targeted by the opponent's effects."

[Elemental Heroes Sky Neos: Attack Power 3700 → 6200]

"Attack power 6200...!? Impressive. Do you want to decide the winner this round?"

"It's coming, John!"

"Don't be careless!"

Hearing his companion's reminder, John nodded: "I understand."

Asuka: "【Beloved Hero】has the ability to launch additional attacks, Jaden is sure to win!"

At the same time, Judai flicked his hand and roared, "Go, Sky Neos, attack Yellow Tiger, Sky Wings!"

'drink! '

Sky New Universe flapped its wings, drawing two streaks of air as it attacked John.

"That won't do!"

"what?"

John then waved his arm and shouted, "Activate the trap card, [Last Sanctuary]!"

The face-down card on his right then opened, "When the opponent declares an attack, this card can activate the Field Spell [Rainbow Ancient City] from your Deck."

"At this point, if the opponent has a Field Spell on their field, they can draw a card."

"Trying to take over my space...?"

Left with no other option, Jaden had to draw a card from his deck.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

"Activate, [Ancient City of Rainbows]!"

Swish!

As John placed the card on the field, the strange universe rapidly collapsed.

Click, click, click, click...

The next second, with a loud crack, it shattered into countless fragments like glass breaking, and the surrounding scenery changed again. A ruin resembling an arena appeared before everyone's eyes, with a rainbow hanging not far from it.

"This reduces the Sky Neos's attack power."

[Elemental Heroes Sky Neos: Attack Power 6200 → 3700]

At that moment, the attack launched by Sky New Universe Warrior also landed on Huang Yuhu, instantly shattering him into pieces.

boom--!

"Uh-huh...!"

John Anderson: LP4000→2900

"When the precious beast on the field is destroyed, it can turn into a crystal that remains on the field!"

A flash of yellow light, and a yellow crystal crystalline stone solidified in John's backstage area.

"Furthermore, since my health has been reduced, Sky Neos' attack power has also decreased."

[Elemental Heroes Sky Neos: Attack Power 3700 → 2600]

Although its attack power is the same as the Jade Turtle, John understands that it is only temporary. As long as the Tenth Generation Gunner commits suicide, it can be upgraded back. Therefore, he knows that the Jade Turtle cannot be saved.

as predicted......

"At this moment, the effect of the Equip Spell [Beloved Hero] is activated. When the monster equipped to this card destroys an opponent's monster, send this card to the Graveyard as a cost, and Sky Neos can attack once more."

Seeing Jaden put the card into the graveyard, John wasn't about to be outdone: "Then the moment you activate your effect, I'll use the other effect of the Continuous Trap [Jewel's Delicacy]!"

"When you have a [Crystal Beast] card in your Spell & Trap Zone, you can send this face-up card to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 [Crystal Beast] monster from your hand or Graveyard, and for this turn, you take half damage."

"Come forth, [Jade Beast Amber Mammoth]!"

In an instant, an amber stone appeared and emitted an amber light, followed by a mammoth with six giant tusks on its cheeks.

【Jade Beast Amber Mammoth: Defense 1600】

John Anderson's hand cards: 3 → 2

"It's actually an amber mammoth?"

"Thanks to the effect of the Gunner, I was able to summon the Amber Mammoth."

John continued, "Since [Jade's Exquisite Beauty] has disappeared from the field, Jade Turtle's attack power has returned to normal."

[Jade Turtle Beast: Attack Power 2600 → 600]

Chapter 209 Golden Rules and Jade Pendants

Although the Jade Turtle's attack power has decreased, Jaden is still unable to attack it immediately.

Because the Mammoth Giant next to it has a taunt effect, as long as any other [Jewel Beast] is attacked, the target of the attack can be changed to it. And its defense power is the same as the attack power of the Gunner, so Jaden can only choose to use Ultraman to launch the attack.

Thinking of this, Jaden didn't hesitate: "Then Sky Neos attacks Amber Mammoth, Sky Wings!"

'drink! '

The Sky New Universe once again flapped its wings, unleashing two energy blades as it charged towards the Mammoth.

boom--! !

"According to the general effect of [Jewel Beast], the Amber Mammoth has also turned into a crystal and remained on my field!"

Immediately afterwards, a piece of raw amber appeared in John's backcourt.

"Then, the man who drew the gun attacked the Jade Turtle!"

Suddenly, the man who had drawn the gun fired another shot at the jade turtle.

boom!

The giant tortoise, pierced once more, exploded into dust with a deafening roar.

"Uh... the Jade Turtle has been... again!!"

Seeing the green crystal stone appear at his feet, John gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Damn it, because of the effect of [Jade's Exquisite Beauty], I take half the damage."

John Anderson: LP2900→2400

"My battle is not over yet!"

"Nani?"

Just then, Jaden threw out a card from his hand and shouted, "I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Contact Separation] from my hand to release the Fusion of Sky Neos and Special Summon the monster material from my Deck."
