Chapter 291
After he placed a Spell Card on the field, the Duel Disk quickly read the card's information, and the surrounding scene instantly transformed into a strange space radiating colorful light.
"Due to the effect of [Neo Space], Neo-HERO and the Fusion Monster made from Neo-HERO materials gain 500 attack power."
[Elemental HERO Neos: Attack Power 2250 → 2750]
"What?! In that case, you're going to continue attacking the Dead Man?" Edo frowned slightly upon hearing this.
This monster was mainly his means of building up his tomb and launching powerful attacks, so he least wanted it to be destroyed.
At this moment, Judai no longer hesitated and gave the order, "Go! Neo-HERO, attack the Dead Man! Neo-Spiral!"
Upon receiving his command, Neo-HERO immediately leaped forward and delivered a chop to Jue Mingren.
Boom--!!
"The Deadly One...!" Edo clicked his tongue in annoyance. "What a troublesome fellow..."
Finally, Judai sets two face-down cards in his backrow, then sets two more face-down cards, ending the turn.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4 → 2]
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Edo Phoenix hand cards: 1→2]
After looking at the cards he had drawn, Edo calmly played them. "Activate the Spell Card [Vessel of Apathy], return the Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and the Cyber Person from the Graveyard to the Deck."
After Monster Recycle, he placed the cards in his hand onto the Duel Disk.
"I offer the Gravity Man on the field as a sacrifice, and once again summon the Solemn Guy with Attack Position!"
Gravity Man vanished from the field in an instant, and then Solemn Guy reappeared.
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 2→0]
There's not much to say after that. Edo repeated his actions from the first round, summoning the Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands and Cyber Person from his deck one by one.
"At this moment, the Cyber Person effect is activated once again, sending [Destiny HERO - Dark Angel] from the deck to the graveyard."
"Then, by banishing [Phantom HERO Gravitiman] from the graveyard, add another [Polymerization] from the deck to your hand and activate it."
As he used Polymerization again, the figures of the Cyber Person and the Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands on the field overlapped, and the Polymerization vortex of distorted space instantly swallowed them up and merged them into one.
"Appear, [Phantom HERO Adorationman]!"
In the distorted space, a jet-black warrior leaped out.
[Phantom HERO Adorationman: Attack Power 2800]
"Next, since I have zero cards in my hand, I can activate the effect of the Divine Person in the graveyard, banishing this card and the Demon Person from the graveyard, and then I draw two more cards."
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 0→2]
After glancing at the two cards, Edo immediately threw one out. "I'll activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand and Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard."
"Come on, Disk Guy!"
A beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the entrance of his tomb.
'Drink--!'
The warriors, their bodies covered in discs, leaped out of the light.
[Destiny HERO - Disk Guy: Defense 300]
"When the Disk Guy is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can draw two cards from your Deck."
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 2→3]
Asuka, standing nearby, widened her eyes in astonishment. "Three cards were added to your hand in one go! [Destiny HERO] is indeed an extremely powerful Hero series!"
Judai couldn't help but praise, "To so easily master the powers of two heroes at the same time... As expected of you, you are indeed very strong, Edo!"
"Ha~, I'll accept that statement without hesitation!"
Then Edo pointed to the Dash Guy beside him and shouted, "The Dash Guy's monster effect is activated! Once per turn, it can sacrifice one of its monsters and gain 1000 ATK for that turn!"
The next second, the Disk Guy on the field disappeared from the field amidst a burst of light, transforming into pure power that flowed into the Dash Guy's body.
[Destiny HERO - Sprint Guy: Attack Power 2100 → 3100]
"It's not over yet. The effect of Adorationman has been activated. The attack power of your Neo-HERO on the field is reduced to the current attack power value of the hero monster, Dash Guy."
[Elemental HERO Neos: Attack Power 2750 → 0]
Asuka frowned, worriedly saying, "This is bad! Edo Phoenix's two monsters on the field have a combined attack power of 5900, which far exceeds Judai's life points!"
"Let's battle!" Facing Judai's two face-down cards, Edo didn't hesitate at all and immediately entered the battle phase.
However, at that moment, Judai hurriedly shouted, "Activate the Trap Card [HERO's Halo] at this instant!"
"Based on this card's effect, equip this card as an Equip Card to a Warrior-type monster with 1500 or less ATK. Your opponent cannot attack the equipped monster with a monster with 1900 or more ATK."
Edo frowned upon hearing this. "What!?"
At the same time, a dark red shield was placed on Neo-HERO's arm.
"Neo-HERO's attack power was reduced to zero this turn by Adorationman, therefore your monster cannot attack!"
"Tch! Always trying to be clever!"
As a result, Edo missed his chance to defeat Judai. He had no choice but to abandon the battle for now.
He had anticipated playing against Judai, who would be a very tough opponent, but seeing that he couldn't hurt him still made him feel very frustrated.
"Finally, I'll place two more cards in a trap, then the turn ends."
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 3→1]
With two face-down cards revealed in the back row, Edo's second turn came to an end.
"At this moment, due to the arrival of the final phase, the attack power of my Dash Guy and your Neo-HERO has returned to normal."
[Destiny HERO - Sprint Guy: Attack Power 3100 → 2100]
[Elemental HERO Neos: Attack Power 0 → 2750]
"At the same time, because Neo-HERO's attack power has recovered, his attack power no longer meets the equipment requirements for [HERO's Halo], so [HERO's Halo] is sent to the graveyard."
No sooner had Edo finished speaking than the shield on Neo-HERO's arm shattered into pieces with a 'bang'.
Chapter 166 Elemental HERO Flame Neos, Double HERO Attack
"Finally, it's my turn to fight back..."
Judai quickly drew a card from the deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→3]
After glancing at his hand, he placed it directly in his left hand, then drew another card and revealed it.
"I activate the monster effect of [Cross Keeper] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by sending this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 [Elemental HERO] monster or 1 [Neo-Spacian] monster from your hand or Graveyard. Negate the effects of monsters Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]
"With this effect, I Special Summon [Neo-Spacian Flame Scarab] from my Graveyard."
As Judai placed the monster card onto the Duel Disk, a raging fire suddenly erupted on the field, and a black beetle-man emerged from the flames.
[Neo-Spacian - Flame Scarab: Attack Power 500]
"It's the Neo-Spacian!? I've never even heard of that kind of hero...!"
Edo felt a little uneasy as yet another unfamiliar monster appeared before him.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Judai chuckled and explained, "Of course, Neo-Spacian, like Neo-HERO, is a special hero born from cosmic fluctuations; it's a series from the same source as Neo-HERO."
"A series with the same origin!? Could it be...?!"
Edo seemed to have suddenly realized something.
"Since they are heroes of the same origin, they can certainly combine with each other!"
Then Judai raised his hand and said sternly, "[Elemental HERO Neos] and [Neo-Spacian - Flame Scarab] contact fusion ※ Turn ⌒#:9∝ Another," ▲ 8th Floor Nikuri Lin!
You're talking about Contact Fusion?!
"The Polymerization of Neo-HERO and Neo-Spacian does not require a Polymerization Card; simply return the materials on the field to the Deck to summon the corresponding Fusion Monster!"
Neo-HERO and Flame Scarab then leaped high into the Neo Space, their figures overlapping and colliding, unleashing a dazzling light mixed with rainbow rays.
"This light... it seems..."
The light was so dazzling that Edo instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, and a familiar feeling welled up inside him.
"By the way, I've always been thrilled every time my father created a new hero."
"Is this your new hero, Judai!"
The light gradually faded, and the black and orange Neo-HERO, which incorporated beetle features, slowly descended, with a pair of mandibles resembling horns on its head.
[Elemental HERO Flame Neos - Attack Power 2500]
"That's right, this is the new Neo-HERO, combining the Flame Scarab with the Elemental HERO Flame Neos!"
"Elemental HERO Flame Neos... Is that its name...?" Edo softly repeated the monster's name, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. 'I see. So, the hero Father created ultimately chose Judai...'
(In the original work, Edo's father may have designed this card, because the monster appeared in his memories.)
Looking at it, Edo seemed unaware that he was genuinely smiling.
At the same time, Judai went on to explain, "Elemental HERO Flame Neos' attack power is determined by the number of Spell and Trap Card on the field; it gains 400 attack power for each Spell and Trap Card."
"Both sides have a total of four cards on the field. Adding the effect of [Neo Space], the attack power of Elemental HERO Flame Neos is..."
[Elemental HERO Flame Neos- Attack Power 2500 → 4600]
"Attack power 4600?!"
"It's not over yet..." Judai raised his left arm and said, "When Elemental HERO Flame Neos appears, I will activate another effect of [Cross Keeper] from the graveyard."
If this card is in your Graveyard and you successfully Special Summon an Elemental HERO Fusion Monster, you can banish this card to activate this effect. Draw 2 cards from your Deck, then choose 1 card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your Deck.
"Degeneration!!"
After confirming the two cards in his hand, he selected one card and inserted it into the bottom of his deck.
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→3]
Immediately afterwards, Judai threw out another card from his hand, "I'll activate another Quick-Play Spell [Double HERO Attack] from my hand!"
If you control Fusion Monster that requires [Elemental HERO Neos] as Polymerization Material, you can target 1 [HERO] Fusion Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster regardless of its Summoning conditions.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]
"It's a Special Summon that ignores summoning conditions!? Could it be...!?"
"That's it!" Judai shouted, waving his hand. "Awaken, Absolute Zero!"
A beam of light shot into the sky ahead, and Absolute Zero reappeared.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: Attack Power 2500]
"Destroy Edo's monster once again! Absolute Zero attacks his Adorationman!"
At Judai's command, Absolute Zero immediately launched a suicidal charge towards his Adorationman.
The latter reacted immediately, dodging and rushing in front of the enemy, smashing him to pieces with a single punch.
Boom--!!
[Yusei Fudo: LP3800→3500]
"At that very moment, Absolute Zero's effect activates. When this card leaves the field, all monsters on your opponent's field are destroyed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lingering chill from where Brother Zero had disappeared instantly erupted, freezing the Adorationman and the Dash Guy into ice sculptures.
"Oh no!!" Edo sensed something was wrong.
The next second, the two ice sculptures shattered into pieces with a loud crash.
