Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Upon hearing this conversation, Yuma seemed to snap out of a daze and slapped the two cards onto his backcourt:

"Ah, I almost forgot! I'll set two cards face down, end of turn!"

"Well then, during your end phase, I will activate the effect of [Galaxy Eye Photon Lord] again, adding one [Photon] or [Galaxy] card to my hand."

As if it were a routine matter, Soreva took the card that popped out from the D panel and immediately pointed his finger at Land King and Sea King.

"Next round, I'll take care of you two in one go! My turn, draw a card!"

Pointing to his hand, Soreva quickly flipped over a card and said to King Lu:

"Speaking of which, I did ask you to guess the effect of this card earlier, didn't I? Now, you don't need to guess, I'll tell you myself! I activate the Spell Card, [Galaxy Cyclone]! Destroy the face-down Spell/Trap Card on the field!"

As he spoke, Soreva pointed to the rightmost of the two face-down cards in Lu Wang's back row.

"I choose to destroy that card!"

However, even though the galactic whirlwind tore the face card to shreds, King Lu showed no reaction, simply standing there with a deathly pale face, prompting Soreva to exclaim:

"Hey, those two cards in your back row aren't just for supporting your teammates, are they?"

Although King Lu did not speak, Soreva understood everything from his paler complexion and sighed, saying:

"Alright, in that case, I'll usually summon [Galaxy-Eye Cloud Cage]!"

In an instant, a small dragon resembling a juvenile [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] appeared on Soreva's field, but it quickly vanished into specks of light.

"Then, I release [Galaxy-Eyes Cloud Cage] and Special Summon 1 monster with [Galaxy-Eyes] in its name other than [Galaxy-Eyes Cloud Cage] from my hand and Graveyard!"

Reborn, [Galaxy-Eyed Residual Light Dragon]!

The pure white Photon Dragon descends once more, and Soreva switches both of his [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord] and [Radiant Dragon Photon Burst Dragon] from Defense position to Attack position.

"Finally, everyone launch a direct attack on Neptune and Land King!"

Under the combined attack of the four monsters, the LP of both Lu Wang and Hai Wang instantly dropped to 0.

Chapter 285 The Duel Continues, Light Waves Return

"Now is the perfect opportunity!"

Seeing that Neptune and Land King were defeated by Soreva, the Astral Entity immediately reached out, intending to retrieve the [No.] cards attached to the two.

At first, the two cards flew out of Neptune and Land King without any problems, but after they flew out, the astral body felt another force pulling the two cards.

"This is……"

Following the direction of that power, the astral body saw Soreva reaching out his hand. Behind him, Zero and [Hoples] were also reaching out their hands, helping him guide the two [No.] cards.

Soreva also noticed the astral gaze directed at him and immediately whispered to Zero and [Hoples]:

“Zero, [Hopleth], it seems the Astral Spheres have discovered that we're also vying for the [No.] cards. Do we have the strength to take those two [No.] cards?”

In response to Soreva's question, [Hopleth] immediately provided the answer:

"I'm not sure. Although we haven't gone all out yet, I think he's probably close. If we want both [No.] cards, it might take a while, and there's also the possibility that he'll take both of them."

"That's it..."

After receiving [Hoples's] reply, Soreva pondered for a moment before giving instructions.

"Then, let's work together and take away Lu Wang's [No. 61 Volcanic Dinosaur]. Although the Destruction Wheel effect without resistance is a bit weak, it's still better than that uncertain [No.] card."

"Ah."

Upon receiving Soreva's command, Zero and [Hoples] simultaneously aimed at the [Volcano Dinosaur] card, and with a sudden burst of strength, snatched it away.

As for the Astral Body, he suddenly felt the power pulling the two cards change abruptly. Although the [No.] card belonging to the Land King successfully flew over, [Volcano Dinosaur] completely broke free from his control and flew into Soreva's hand.

Upon seeing the [No.] card he had received, Astral frowned even more:

"[No. 19 Frozen Dragon], does its effect remove 1 Xyz Material and re-add the monster that was used as Xyz Material when another Xyz Monster you control was Xyz Summoned from your Graveyard as Xyz Material?"

Compared to the [Volcano Dinosaur], which still possesses destructive capabilities, this card is arguably much less useful.

After seeing the [Volcano Dinosaur] card fly into Soleva's hand, Yuma couldn't help but call out:

"Ah! Oh no! The [No.] card has been stolen by that old man! Astral Sphere, what should we do?"

Upon hearing Yuma's words, Astral Entity froze on the spot. At this moment, he couldn't think of any good ideas to snatch the [No.] card from Soleva.

Soreva, however, waving the [No. 61 Volcano Dinosaur] card, made a rather cheeky suggestion to Astral and Yuma:

"I think you haven't forgotten, have you? This was a 2v2v2 duel. The Land King and the Sea King lost, but that doesn't mean the duel is over."

"Since you're so interested in this [No.] card, how about we continue our duel? If you lose, I'll give you this [No.] card; but if you lose, you'll have to hand over the [No.] card as well."

"This……"

Despite Soleva's advice, Yuma still hesitated, as the memory of his crushing defeat at Soleva's hands had left a deep impression on him.

However, just as he hesitated, Yuma also heard the sound of a shark beside him:

"Don't give up, Yuma! We're both here now, aren't we? It's my turn next, and my [Aerial Shark] can deal him damage again! Your [Hope of the Royal] is no longer restricted by that [Avalanche] card! We're not without a chance!"

Even the astral body nodded at this moment:

“It’s definitely worth a try. Besides, I’ve already successfully absorbed the memory of this [No. 19 Frozen Dragon]. It’s just that I separated out a [Frozen Dragon] for pure dueling, so it won’t have much of an impact on me.”

Encouraged by his two comrades, Yu Ma nodded with renewed confidence and immediately shouted to Sorewa:

"Uncle! We accept this bet! Shark and I will do everything in our power to defeat you!"

However, all that answered him was a sigh from Soreva:

"I'm saying, it's good that you two have determination and courage, but could you please not discuss this so loudly? This is still my turn."

"Ah?"

Just as Yuma was confused, Soreva immediately raised his hand, showing them the consequences of communicating tactics too loudly:

"I'm stacking my Level 8 [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] and [Galaxy-Eyes Residual Dragon] on the field! The two monsters form a stacking network!"

O galaxy that shines in the darkness! Vengeful spirits, become my servants! Xyz Summon! Descend, [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon]!

Looking at this light wave dragon, summoned by the combined power of the two [Galaxy Eye] dragons, [Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon] and [Galaxy Eye Residual Light Dragon], which has a similar shape to [Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon] but with more colorful armor and more exaggerated light wings, Kaito couldn't help but recall his previous battle with Soleva.

"This guy has indeed become even stronger after gaining the power to use the [Photon Dragon]. He's even using this monster much more smoothly now."

"Then, the effect of [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon] is activated! Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material, take control of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls! Negate that monster's effects, reduce its ATK to 3000, and treat its card name as [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon]!"

Originally, Soreva's finger was meant to point at the shark [Aviation Shark], but he couldn't resist [Hopleth] constantly whispering in his ear:

"Boss, grab [Hope]! Grab [Hope]!"

In the end, he could only helplessly point to [Hope] on the racecourse and say:

"I choose to seize control of [Hope Royal Hope]! [Light Wave Projection]!"

Instantly, a surge of light beams erupted from the fan-shaped wings of the [Galaxy-Eyed Lightwave Dragon], entangling the body of [Hope Emperor Hope]. Outside of its body, another [Galaxy-Eyed Lightwave Dragon]'s body was constructed, enveloping it within.

Immediately afterwards, the [Galaxy-Eyed Wave Dragon] that [Hope the Emperor] had transformed into let out a dragon roar and flew onto Soreva's field. No matter how Yuma called out to it, it showed no sign of changing its mind.

Soreva, looking at the [Galaxy-Eyed Lightwave Dragon] that [Hope Emperor] had transformed into, burst into laughter:

"Haha, speaking of which, Yuma, I should thank you for not wasting the [Hope Royal Hope] material!"

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

In response to Yuma's question, Soreva simply summoned him once more:

"I'm using the effect of [Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Wave Dragon] from my Extra Deck! This card can be Xyz Summoned by stacking it on top of any [Aurora Wave Dragon] monster you control! So, I'm Xyz Summoning a [Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Wave Dragon] transformed from [Hope of the Royal Hope]!"

O galaxy, shining in the darkness! Now unleash your ultimate brilliance and become a beacon illuminating the heavens and earth! Ascend to Supercharged Transformation! Descend, [Galaxy-Eye Aurora Wave Dragon]!

This familiar scene made Kaito involuntarily feel a moment of silent mourning for Yuma and the others. However, just as he closed his eyes, he heard an effect he hadn't heard in that duel:

"Then, I remove two Xyz Materials from [Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Dragon], and all LIGHT monsters on my field will not be targeted by my opponent's card effects until the end of their turn!"

Chapter 286 The Shark's Table Flipping, Although Unsuccessful

"You didn't seem to use this effect when you fought me back then?"

Upon hearing Kaito say such a thing, Soreva immediately shrugged:

"There was nothing I could do. At the time, the only monster I had control over was your [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]. Even if I summoned [Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Wave Dragon], I only had one Xyz Material, so I couldn't activate this effect, could I?"

Meanwhile, the sharks, who were about to take over the next round, looked rather grim.

Despite having witnessed Soreva's [No. 90 Galaxy Eye Photon] negate and destroy the effect of [Volcano Dinosaur], the shark wasn't too afraid of this card.

If Soreva destroys his [Aviation Shark] in the same way, one of his face-down cards, [Hate Rift], can counter such destruction.

In fact, when he first saw [Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Dragon] appear on the field, he was even ecstatic.

If that effect is activated on [Galaxy Eye Aurora Wave Dragon], it will deal damage equal to the attack power of [Aurora Wave Dragon] to Soleva, which can completely wipe out Soleva's LP in one go.

However, the effect of [Aurora Dragon] made Shark's heart sink to the bottom.

Because the effect of [Hate Rift] is target-based, it means that all the LIGHT monsters on Soreva's field now will be immune to this effect.

However, Soreva soon showed the sharks what it meant to be ruthless, with no limit to cruelty:

"Next, I'll apply the effect of [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Blade Dragon] from my Extra Deck! This card can also be Xyz Summoned by overlaying it onto a Rank 8 [Galaxy-Eyes] Xyz Monster on my field! So, I'll Xyz Summon a single [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon] from the field!"

Ripples shimmering in the galaxy! Now converge into a blade of light, cleaving through the darkness of this boundless universe! Xyz Transformation! Descend! [Galaxy-Eyes Light Wave Blade Dragon]!

As [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon] transformed into a ball of light and disappeared into the Xyz Summoning channel, another loud dragon roar soon came from within, followed by a dragon beast that looked remarkably like [Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon] falling from it.

However, on the dragon's arms, outside the bright red arm armor, a crescent-shaped blade of light emerged on each arm.

"Next up is the effect of [Galaxy-Eyes Wave Blade Dragon]! Remove 1 Xyz Material, and once per turn, destroy 1 card on the field!"

My chosen target for destruction is the [Submarine Carrier Shark]! [Light Wave Slice]!

Soreva pointed at the [Aviation Shark] in the shark arena, and the [Galaxy-Eyed Wave Blade Dragon] roared instantly, crossed its arms and swung them, sending an "X"-shaped colored light blade flying towards the [Aviation Shark] and tearing it to pieces.

But the shark could do nothing but curse "Damn it!"

What made the shark feel even more desperate was that after this effect was activated, Soreva also picked up the card that had just been used as material to activate this effect:

"The material I just removed by activating this effect was [Galaxy-Eyes Residual Light Dragon], so based on its effect, I will Special Summon the last [Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] in my deck!"

Okay, that's it. Round over.
