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

We have no cards left on the board or in our hand, and our LP is down to only 700 points. Can we really beat the old man?

Astral bodies, however, provide an affirmative answer:

"Victory, Yuma! Put everything on this draw! In the duel of the strongest duelists, everything is inevitable, and the draw is created by the duelists themselves!"

"Concentrate your efforts, Yuma!"

"Alright! Let's go, Astral Body!"

Nodding heavily, and seeing his right hand already gleaming with golden light, Yuma, the drama queen who would act as if he'd been hit even in a duel where he wouldn't be harmed at all, immediately raised his right hand high.

"All your light and power reside in my right hand! Illuminate the path to hope! Flash card draw!"

Yuma's finger slid down heavily, and instantly, a golden light was drawn from his deck.

Having seen through the true nature of the card, Yuma immediately showed it to Soreva:

"I activate the Spell Card from my hand, [GaGaGaDraw]! This card can only be activated by banishing three monsters with [GaGaGa] in their names from your Graveyard! Draw two cards from your Deck!"

Immediately afterwards, Yuma listed the three monsters he could currently exclude.

"I choose to banish the monsters [I Am My Sister], [I Am My Secretary], and [I Am My Girl]! Draw two cards from my deck! Draw!"

Two more cards entered Yuma's hand, and after recognizing them, Yuma quickly pulled one out and slapped it towards his D-panel, which had now transformed into an arm armor.

"Next, I activate a Spell Card from my hand, [Super Light Destruction]! This card can send all Xyz Materials of one Xyz Monster on the field to the Graveyard! However, the targeted monster can negate the effect of [Cannot be destroyed by battle] this turn!"

And the Xyz Monster I chose is…”

Yuma pointed at the field in Soreva and immediately called out the monster's name.

"[Fricia's Trap Demon]!"

Chapter 389 Yuma's Counterattack

A golden bolt of lightning immediately shot out from the card that Yuma had opened in front of him, shattering the last remaining Xyz Material outside the body of [Fricia's Trap].

Seeing this, Soreva smiled slightly.

"Good, a wise choice. In this way, my [Fricia's Trap] will be unable to stop Yuma's strategy. However, with only that one card, how will you, Yuma, unfold your strategy?"

In response, Yuma slammed his last card onto his D-card panel:

"I Normal Summon [I-I-I-Sister] from my hand! And activate its effect again! When this card is successfully Summoned, you can add one Spell/Trap Card with [I-I-I] in its name from your Deck to your hand!"

The card I chose to add to my hand is [MeMeMe×MeMeMe]!

This time, without the obstruction of the wide-browed old lady, under the radiance of [my sister]'s raised magic wand, a card popped out of Yuma's deck.

Catch the card, slam it onto the D panel, and Yuma announces its effect:

"Then, the Continuous Spell Card [GagGagGagGagGag] is activated! This card can be transformed into a card with the same Attribute, Level, ATK, and DEF as a [GagGag] monster on your field, and Special Summoned to your Monster Zone!"

So now, I choose to turn [me me me × me me me] into [me me me sister]!

Amidst the shifting light waves, another "Gagagag" with the opposite color to the original "Gagagagag" appeared on Yuma's field.

Yuma then raised his hand as well:

"Next, [I-I-I-My Sister]'s other effect activates! This card can make its Level and the Level of another monster whose name contains [I-I-I-My Sister], other than this card, the sum of their respective Levels!"

Now, [I want to increase the level of [I am my sister] and [I am × I am I] which together form [I am my sister]!

As Yuma activated the effect, [I-I-I-My Sister] also raised her hand, raising their levels from 2 to 4.

Soreva, watching this scene, also began tapping his D panel with great interest:

"Oh? So there are two Level 4 monsters now. Then, it'll probably be [Hope] next, right?"

Just as Soreva had said, Yuma, who now possessed two Level 4 monsters, immediately raised his hand and began chanting:

"Now I have two Level 4 monsters on the field! I'll stack two Level 4 [I-I-I-Sister] monsters on top of each other! I'll build a stacking network! Xyz Summon!"

"White wings carrying hope, appear! [No. 39]! Messenger of light, [Hope, the Emperor of Hope]!"

Gazing at the platinum-gold warrior who had appeared on the racecourse, Soreva couldn't help but smack his lips:

"Sigh, the [Hope] axis is so good! It's just a pity that my [Hope] axis is now sealed, and many of my Xyz decks have lost their finishing moves."

Hearing Soreva's undisguised and naked desire for the [Hope] axis, the [Hope] within him immediately became restless:

"How come you're just like that Astral guy, all you know is 'Hope Hope Hope'! I'm strong too! If you had summoned me, that [Hope] guy definitely wouldn't be able to defeat you right now!"

Seeing that [Hoples] was jealous of [Hope], Soreva immediately began to comfort him:

"Relax, relax, I know. You're the [Hope] killer. If you were to take action, Yuma, aided by [Hope]'s power, would definitely be no match for you. However..."

Soreva smiled and glanced at Yuma before continuing.

“We can’t always give kids setbacks; we need to let them see a glimmer of hope sometimes. Anyway, this isn’t a duel where you have to risk your [No.] card, so I won’t bother you.”

Upon hearing Soreva's explanation, [Hopleth] immediately snorted coldly:

"Hmph! You just keep spoiling him!"

Then, [Hoples's] voice fell silent.

Meanwhile, Yuma, after summoning [Hope of the Emperor], immediately raised his hand and pulled out [CNo.39 Hope of the Emperor] from his Extra Deck:

"Then, according to the effect of [CNo.39 Hope the Emperor]! This card can be Xyz Summoned by stacking it on top of [CNo.39 Hope the Emperor] on your field! Now I construct a stacking network with one monster, [Hope the Emperor]! Chaos Xyz Transformation!"

Show yourself! [CNo.39]! Messenger who will transform chaos into light! [Hope Emperor Hope]!

The platinum warrior transformed into a statue once more and sank into the Xyz Summoning channel. As gold and black particles exploded, a black and gold sculpture slowly emerged from it, and then transformed into a giant warrior with the corresponding colors.

This is [CNo.39 Hopeful Hope]!

"[Hopley]'s effect activated! Remove one Xyz Material to reduce the ATK of one of your opponent's monsters by 1000 and increase your own ATK by 500!"

With a shout, Yuma pointed his finger at the only [Alomelus Trapmind] on the field in attack position.

"What I want to reduce is the attack power of [Alomeles's Trap]!"

Moreover, this effect doesn't only occur once per turn! Therefore, I need to remove the three Xyz materials from [Hopeful Emperor Hope], increase my own attack power by 1500, and decrease [Alomeles's Trap]'s attack power by 3000!

[Stacked charging]!

As [Hope Emperor Hope] drew the greatsword from its back, the three Xyz Materials surrounding it instantly rushed into the greatsword, making it shine brightly.

In this light, the attack power of [Hope Emperor Hope], whose body was illuminated and turned white, immediately rose to 4000 points, while the attack power of [Alomeles's Trap] was reduced to 0 points.

"This is the decisive blow! [Hope Emperor Hope], attack [Alomeles's Trap]! [Hope Sword Chaos Flash]!"

With its attack power at 0, [Alomeles's Trap] was no match for such an attack and was instantly shattered by [Hope Emperor's] greatsword. The resulting gust of wind further reduced Soreva's LP to 0.

"I...won?"

Looking at the message of his victory displayed on the D-view mirror, Yuma was first stunned in disbelief, then raised his arms and cheered excitedly.

"Great! I finally beat that old man!"

"Congratulations, Yuma."

Applauding as he stepped forward, Soreva smiled and said to Soreva...

"So, as agreed, we will only disqualify Tokunosuke Omi from participating in WDC, and will not impose any other penalties. Besides that..."

As he spoke, Soleva took out a fragment of the heart and displayed it in front of Yuma:

"I'm entrusting this to you as well, as agreed upon."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Excitedly receiving the Heart Fragment from Soleva, Yuma immediately took out his own Heart Fragment and placed the one Soleva had given him into the gap of the last piece.

The two fit together perfectly, which means that Yuma has collected all the Heart Fragments and qualified for the WDC finals.

"Well then, goodbye, uncle!"

Watching Yuma wave goodbye and then leave with Omi and Kotori, Soreva soon heard Ghosh's resentful voice:

"Soreva, you held back in that duel just now, didn't you?"

"Hmm? Is there?"

Faced with Soreva's feigned ignorance, Ghosh bluntly exposed his deception:

"Don't think I didn't notice. Your acting was way too exaggerated! It wasn't a mistake; it was clearly intentional!"

"Alright, since you figured it out, I won't pretend anymore."

Shrugging, Sorevadang then gave Ghosh a wicked smile.

"So what if I let the water go? Are you going to complain about me?"

"Hey, I would never do something like that. But..."

Facing Soreva, Ghosh grinned, revealing a rather wicked smile.

"As punishment for stealing a duel that could ignite my passion and then defiling it in this way, I demand that you fight me with all your might!"

Chapter 390: The Second Day of WDC Ends, and the Alarm Sounds Suddenly

However, upon receiving Gorsh's challenge to a duel, Soreva immediately showed a look of disdain on his face:

"Forget it, we've dueled a few times already, haven't we? Whether you're using the [Hero] deck or that nonsensical [Bodyguard] deck, you still can't beat me, can you?"

However, after his initial disdain, a slight smile still appeared on Soreva's lips.

"Of course, if you're willing to use the cards I gave you, I wouldn't mind seeing if you've made any progress."

When Ghosh heard Soreva mention the cards he had given him, he scratched the back of his head, a troubled look on his face.

"Hmm...no, those cards of yours aren't to my liking, I don't really want to use them!"

Upon hearing this, Soreva immediately rolled his eyes at Ghosh, expressing his contempt for him:

"It's just a few cards, why wouldn't you want to use them? Besides, I didn't give you any weird cards, but rather the standard cards from your [Hero] deck. How could you not like them?"

Hearing Soreva's complaints, Ghosh simply shrugged.

"I can't really say, but the cards you gave me just don't suit my card-playing habits..."

To this, Soreva was no longer content with just rolling his eyes at Ghosh; instead, he unceremoniously gave him the middle finger.
