Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Beep beep~~~! Duel!" ×2

(Yusei & Yuki Jaden LP: 8000)

(Alien A & Alien B LP: 8000)

The arrogant alien had no intention of attacking first. Seeing this, Yusei immediately stretched out his arm and drew a new card from his deck: "My turn, draw!"

Let me experience this new power from beyond the universe!

With that thought in mind, Yusei looked at his hand, and then... a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Dolphin Bro... what's this?" Raising an eyebrow, Yusei looked at Dolphin Bro in the distance: "Are you serious about this deck you gave me?"

"Huh? Is the deck too weak?" Upon hearing Yusei's question, Dolphin scratched the back of his head.

"No, it's too strong..."

Yusei, who had expected Dolphin Bro to give him a new Trick Room deck that "even a dog wouldn't play," and was already mentally prepared for a long tug-of-war with his opponent, couldn't help but have a strange feeling the moment he saw his hand.

【New Universe Connector】, 【New Space Hero - Water Wave Dolphin】, 【Cross Guardian】, 【Easy Fusion】, 【Tyrant Neptune】, 【EN - Engaging New Universe】.

These are Yusei's current 6 cards.

The first few pictures were fairly average, but then...

　五+一~七>八/=八/&零*七}六+一一=零#+①<*⑦|=④N%J+@五~酒$④}⑨/⑧　Excuse me？加$1}0+1+|7~%４#5/|9*+4-/9}8？？

Has something strange sneaked in?

【Easy Fusion】paired with 【Tyrant Neptune】... Could this combination be...?

Thinking of this, Yusei decisively pulled out his Extra Deck.

Then... just as he had expected, among the newly acquired Fusion Monsters from the [New Space] series, he saw that Fusion Monster that seemed out of place.

[Lyrical Nightingale - Solitary Nightingale]

Blending/Effects:

"Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales" + "Lyrical Robin" Monster

①: This effect can be activated if this card is Fusion Summoned using an Xyz Monster whose original name contains "Lyrical Croak" as material. This card's Level increases by the number of Xyz Materials held by those monsters.

②: This card's attack power is increased by 500 times its level. This card is unaffected by other card effects.

③: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate this effect. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to this card's Level x 500.

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

Logically speaking, Dolphin Bro is a water-attribute Effect Monster, and since he is an alien life form from a new dimension, it makes perfect sense that he could instantly create the water-attribute monster's elder brother—[Tyrant Neptune] from the nine planets of the solar system…

This slightly strange sense of logic made Yusei instinctively start making endless associations in his mind the moment he saw the card, pondering the connections between them.

While he was letting his imagination run wild, the alien opposite him was not idle either. His two clones simultaneously began to deliver their distinctive speeches.

"Beep beep~~ Chasing the darkness of the universe, born from that tranquil darkness, creating life's Dark Matter... The light that burns everything, heating up as entropy increases, that is... the end of the universe!"

"...And we are—the Apostles of Light, the Pioneers of Justice!"

The alien, waving multiple arms and crackling with electricity, beeps and speaks incomprehensible language.

Upon hearing this, Judai Yuki couldn't help but show a puzzled expression: "What are they talking about...? I can't understand what these guys are trying to say at all!"

"It's alright... Don't worry about those guys, they're just lackeys anyway, they can't get any important information."

Yusei waved to Jaden Yuki, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention to the crazy talk from the other side, and after taking a deep breath, he immediately made the next tactical arrangements.

According to the rules of the free-for-all, no one can attack in the first round; they can only deploy cards and set cards.

After everyone has gone through one round, Yusei himself will be the starting point for the battle phase.

In this situation, it's time for Yusei to begin his performance.

If things go smoothly, the opponent may not even have a chance to attack and will lose the duel outright.

"...Here it comes! I activate the Spell Card [EN - New Universe of Intervention] from my hand!"

掏出手牌里的魔法卡，游星毫不犹豫地将其进行了发动：“……这张卡只有把1只「新空间侠」怪兽和1只「元素英雄」怪兽从手卡以及卡组各1只送去墓地才能发动。从卡组把1只「新空间侠」怪兽或者5星以上的「元素英雄」怪兽特殊召唤，从自己的卡组·墓地选1张「融合」加入手卡。这个效果特殊召唤的怪兽是「元素英雄·新宇侠」的场合，那个攻击力上升1000。”

Instead of rushing to surprise his opponent, Yusei first activated the new Spell Card from the Space series that he had just acquired.

Although activating this card will give Yusei a debuff that prevents him from Special Summoning monsters from the Extra Deck this turn, it also gives him the opportunity to precisely manage the resources in his deck.

With the effect of this card, he can try out some new and interesting explorations and experiments with the new deck.

"Using the effect of the Spell Card [EN - Battle Neoverse], I send [Neo Spacian Dolphin] from my hand and [Elemental HERO Neos] from my deck to the Graveyard, then Special Summon [Elemental HERO Neos] from my deck, and then search for a [Fusion] Spell Card from my deck!"

The illustration on the magic card depicts Neos Heroes confronting a space monster amidst intense spiritual pressure fluctuations.

After sending the activated spell card to the graveyard, Yusei casually searched for the card he wanted and slammed it onto the Duel Disk: "Come on! Neos!"

Its streamlined body is painted with dreamlike colors.

The new Universe Knight, whose body was filled with an ethereal and hazy aura, appeared before him with his arms crossed, enveloped in endless starlight, as Yusei called out to him.

A powerful vortex emanated from his body, spreading outwards and exuding an aura of unassailable strength.

Alien: "New...New Universe Elf?"

Yusei: "At this very moment, the effect of [Elemental HERO Neos] activates! If this card is Special Summoned, I can choose one Spell/Trap Card with the name of an 'Elemental HERO' monster from my Deck, or add a [Fusion] Spell Card to my hand! I choose to search for the Trap Card [Beloved Contact]!"

Raising his arm, Yusei activated the effect of the Special Summoned monster.

He had already searched for a [Fusion] card in his deck, so this time, Yusei chose to search for another card, the Fusion Trap Card with a Speed ​​2 effect!

-

【Love in Contact】

(Trap Card)

effect:

You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn.

①: Return the Fusion Material Monsters specified on the Fusion Monster Card to the bottom of their Deck in any order from your hand, field, Graveyard, and banished monsters; Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster that used a "HERO" monster as Fusion Material from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

If "Elemental HERO Neos" is returned to the Deck, neither player can return the monster Special Summoned by this effect to the Extra Deck.

-

"Next, the effect of [Cross Watchman] in my hand activates, sending this card from my hand or field to the Graveyard. I can Special Summon one [Elemental HERO] or [Neo Sci-Fi] monster from my hand or Graveyard, but... the monster's effect is negated by this effect... I choose to Special Summon [Elemental HERO Neo Sci-Fi] (ATK: 2500) from my Graveyard!"

A warrior carrying two spiked shields appeared in front of Yusei as a beam of light shone through.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he forcefully slammed the shield in his hand into the ground, stirring up the dust and plunging straight into the deep underworld, where he pulled up the corpse of Xinyu Xia lying in the graveyard.

Since Neoskewer is a normal monster and does not have any effects, the monsters revived through this effect will naturally not suffer any negative effects.

"Thank you for your hard work, [Cross-Training Guard]!"

Having completed its mission, the Cross Guardian slowly disappeared, heading towards Yusei's grave.

"Wow! Special summoning two high-star Neos at once, as expected of you, Yusei!"

Watching Yusei's brilliant play, Jaden Yuki's eyes flashed with approval. Although he was not yet familiar with this brand-new deck, watching Yusei's actions seemed to give him a glimpse into the new world.

"Now, let's get to the core of this deck!" With a slight smile, Yusei's face revealed a knowing look.

"Beep beep... core?" Unable to understand Yusei's plan, the alien tilted his head and repeated the key words in a questioning tone.

"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn... So next, I'll Normal Summon [Neo-Spatial Connector] from my hand and activate her effect. When this card is successfully Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 [Elemental HERO Neos] or [Neo-Spacian] monster from my hand or Deck in Defense Position!"

Showing the monster cards in his hand, Yusei placed them on the deck of the Duel Disk.

-

【New Universe Connector】

(Warrior/Light/4-star/Attack: 800/Defense: 1800)

effect:

The effects ① and ② of this card can each be used once per turn.

①: When this card is successfully Summoned: You can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 "NeoSpacian" monster or "Elemental HERO Neos" monster from your hand or Deck in Defense Position.

②: You can Tribute this card to target 1 "NeoSpacian" monster or "Elemental HERO Neos" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster in Defense Position.

With a burst of light, the new monster revealed itself.

The chibi version of the [Neocrypha]...or rather, the 4-star [Neocrypha Connector] that appeared on the field raised its arm and extended its index finger alone after hearing Yusei's command.

A burst of starlight imbued with the power of a new space began to gather in his palm.

Containing within it is the new cosmic power that calls forth entirely new monsters.

"...Based on the effect of [Neo-Cosmic Connector], I Special Summon [Neo-Spacian Sky Hummingbird] (Winged Beast/Wind/Level 3/ATK: 800/DEF: 600) from my Deck in Defense Position!"

"Next, I will release the [New Universe Connector] and revive the [New Space Warrior - Water Dolphin] (Warrior/Water/3-star/Attack: 600/Defense: 800) in the graveyard... Of course, it will be in a defense position!"

As Yusei finished speaking, a tornado and a water vortex simultaneously appeared out of thin air, rising from below.

Dolphin Bro's soul clone, along with its best buddy Sky Hummingbird, two brand-new "New Space Warriors" in blue and red, appeared in everyone's sight, crouching down as if dueling monsters.
