How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

"Don't even think about it!" Kyoshiko's voice interrupted him: "The instant your effect activates, I'll open my face-down card and activate the Quick-Play Spell [Crest's Flicker]!"

"Based on this card's effect, I target your [Rumble Goblindberg] and treat its card name as 'Unknown'!"

The familiar golden lightning reappeared, and amidst the deafening thunder, the red plane flying at low altitude was forced to accept its fate of crashing, halting its efforts to call for reinforcements.

The quick-play spell that Kyoko had just activated on the field has now been moved to the banished zone due to its effect.

This is the price to pay for returning to the field from the graveyard...

"Then I'll stack my Level 4 monsters, 'I-I-I-Go-A-Knight' and 'Rumble-Rumble Goblindberg', on the field! I'll create a stacking network with these two monsters! XYZ Summon!"

Golden and yellow light spiraled and intertwined, rising from the field of the parade and shooting straight into the sky. However, since it was indoors, it could only rush into the nebula vortex that appeared on the ceiling.

"Appear! Rank 4! [I am the Magician!]!"

The outfit of "I-I-I-I Magician" looks similar to that of "I-I-I-Girl," both leaning towards a delinquent style. A silver chain holds a golden iron plate wrapped around his waist, and the black magic robe he wears gives him the feel of a gang leader.

Wooden-carved shoulder and leg armor adorned his body, a bright red scarf fluttered in the wind, and a dragon pattern emblazoned on the hem of his robe.

【I am a magician】

【Level 4】

[Excess Material: 2]

[Mage/Xyz/Dark]

[Attack power: 2000]

"The effect of 【I-I-I-I Magician】 is activated!" Yuuto said.

"Remove 1 Xyz Material, then target 1 Xyz Monster in my Graveyard except for [Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga Magician], and Special Summon it while negating its effects!"

"I hereby Special Summon [Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga Magical Girl]!"

【I am a magician】

[Excess Material: 2 → 1]

After [I-I-I-I Magician] consumed one of the Xyz Material surrounding him, Kyoko on the other side continued to speak calmly from under her veil.

"Then, I'll open my face-down card again, and activate the second Quick-Play Spell [Crest of Light and Shadow]!"

Oh yes, this card's effect 1 is not available once per turn.

This is so sad...

Treat the names of your cards 【I-I-I-I Magician】 and 【Shua Lala Bancho - I-I-I-I Jacket】 as 【Unknown】!

Naturally, after changing their names, their effects were also nullified by the wrath of the gods.

From this point on, two of the three face-down cards on the field were gone.

She can't possibly stamp three stamps in a row with the same "flashing and fading of the emblem," can she?

Two bolts of lightning struck in quick succession, the thunderous sound ringing out repeatedly in a short period, leaving Ayaka Sajou somewhat numb.

She felt that she had become somewhat desensitized to the sound of thunder.

However, despite the ineffectiveness, Yuuto has achieved his goal of removing an overabundance of materials.

"【I-I-I-Go-A-Knight】If it is detached from the effect of an Xyz Monster activated as Xyz Material, I can add 1 'Rumble Rumble' monster from my Deck to my hand!"

"I've added 'Hope Royal Onomatopoeia' to my hand from my deck!"

The card name that suddenly appeared without stuttering stood out here. Just as Ayaka Sajo was wondering where the word "rumble" was in the card name and Kyoko remained silent, Yuuto's explanation followed closely behind.

"The card name 【Hopeful Royal Onomatopoeia Utopia】can also be used in accordance with the rules as 'Shua Lala', 'Wo Wo Wo', 'Rumble Rumble Rumble', and 'Angry Angry Angry'!"

Of course, he explained this not for any other reason than to lay the groundwork for what he was going to do next.

After saying that, Yuto inserted a card into the Duel Disk.

"Normal Spell Card [GagGag Wind] activated! Based on this card's effect, I can Special Summon 1 monster from my hand whose name contains 'GagGag' by changing its Level to Level 4!"

I Special Summon [Hope Royal Onomatopoeia Utopia] from my hand!

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the card in Yuto's hand and causing it to fall onto the duel disk.

Immediately afterwards, a card image as tall as a person appeared next to Yuuto, and a platinum-gold humanoid figure half a person tall rushed out of the card image. The figure, which resembled Hope in his childhood, made Ayaka Sajou and Kyoko feel inexplicably familiar.

This color scheme looks a lot like the giant sword Saber was wielding that day.

[Hopeful Royal Soundscape Utopia]

【4 stars】

[Warrior/Light]

[Attack power: 1500]

Feeling confident that he had almost completely crushed Kang, Yudou boldly declared, "I'll activate the monster effect of [Hopeful Emperor's Onomatopoeic Utopia]!"

"Special Summon from your hand all monsters except 'Utopia' (Omniscient Utopia) in Defense Position: 'Shrug', 'Gag Gag', 'Rumble Rumble', and 'Rage Rage Rage'!"

"I Special Summon [Shua La La Knight], the second [Rumble Goblindberg], and the second [Shua La La Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat] from my hand in Defense Position!"

Pop, pop, pop!

Three consecutive slapping sounds rang out, and You Du immediately slapped down all three of his remaining cards.

In the blink of an eye, the monsters that appeared filled his area completely.

【Sweat Lala Knight】

【3 stars】

[Warrior Race/Land]

[Defense: 900]

[Rumble, rumble, rumble, goblindberg]

[Defense: 0]

[Swipe the Lala Bancho - I I I Jacket 2]

[Defense: 100]

Stud!

Chapter 260 The Holy Sword of Hope

"If 【Shuffle Rumble Knight】 is Special Summoned, I can add 1 'Shuffle Rumble' monster other than 【Shuffle Rumble Knight】 from my Deck to my hand, and this card's Level becomes the same as the monster added to my hand by this effect!"

"I've added the third [Shua Lala Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat] to my hand, making [Shua Lala Knight] a 4-star character!"

【Sweat Lala Knight】

[3 stars → 4 stars]

Currently, apart from the "Gagagagagag Magician" placed in the Extra Monster Zone, the field is already filled with 5 Level 4 Warrior-Type monsters.

If... if he had a copy of [No. 86 Heroic Champion Gun King] in his Extra Deck at this moment, he could have just mindlessly summoned Gun King with 5 materials.

It cannot be destroyed by battle, has 3000 attack and defense, is unaffected by other card effects, prevents the opponent from summoning or special summoning, and can destroy all cards on the opponent's field once per turn...

The prohibition sign in the upper right corner is proof of its power.

It's like they have the word 'invincible' written all over their faces!

Unfortunately, he didn't...

With a heavy heart, You Du summoned the mysterious nebula vortex in the center of the arena.

"I'm using the 4-star monsters [Slammer Knight] and [Rumble Goblindberg] as Xyz Material to create a stacking network! I'll use these two monsters to build an Xyz Network! Xyz Summon!"

"Come on! Rank 4! [Different Heat Servant - Sage of Hope]!"

In a flash of light, a golden humanoid emerged, its steel wings folding into a cloak, its body covered in golden armor components, and its crimson eyes flashing across a helmet adorned with bird feathers. The weapon in its hand resembled both a gun and a staff, which it wielded with ease.

【Different Heat Servant - Sage of Hope】

【Level 4】

[Excess Material: 2]

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 2000]

"The monster effect of 【Feverish Servant - Sage of Hope】 is activated! Deduct 2 Xyz Materials, and I can Special Summon 1 'Feverish Weapon' monster or 'Feverish Servant' monster from my Deck!"

"I Special Summon [Different Heat Servant - Ascended Sage] from my Deck!"

【Different Heat Servant - Sage of Hope】

[Excess Material: 2 → 0]

The golden-clad Sage of Hope waved his staff, gathering two Xyz Materials around him, intending to use them to summon his companions. However, the gathered Xyz Materials suddenly flew towards Kyo's field.

A broken stone wall appeared on Kyo's field. The stone wall had various patterns that split downwards from the initial pattern. Hope Sage's two Xyz Materials were absorbed into this stone wall.

"Counter Trap Card [Crest Record]." Kyoko calmly said, "This card can only be activated when an Xyz Monster on your opponent's field detaches Xyz Material to activate its effect. Negate that activation and destroy it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone wall, which had absorbed an excessive amount of materials, seemed to be filled with energy, and all the emblems lit up one by one from bottom to top.

Once the initial emblem at the very top lit up, a thick beam of light shot out from the stone wall, piercing through the body of the Sage of Hope in one fell swoop.

Now, Mad Nobunaga has completely used up all his face-down cards on the field, leaving only the two Xyz Monsters remaining.

"In that case... I'll activate the effects of [Scramble Knight] and [Rumble Goblindberg] in the graveyard!"

Yuto took out the two cards that had just been placed in the graveyard, and gently rubbed them between his two fingers to separate them.

"If these two cards are used as Xyz Material to remove an Xyz Monster from its effect, I can add one 'GagGag' monster and one 'RageRageRage' monster from my Deck to my hand!"

"I've added 'I-I-I-Go-A-Knight' and 'Rage-Rage-Rage Dwarf - Rumble Gloves' to my hand!"

With his hand replenished to three cards, Yuuto's gaze fell upon the [Chaos No. 69 Emblem of Death Chaos] on Kyojin's field.

He still knows nothing about the effects of this single monster.

Could there be another ineffective treatment or something similar?

Hmm... I'll make a Hope card first as insurance!

If things go wrong, just summon the Lightning Emperor and give her a good stab!

After a moment's thought, You Du made a decision:

"Next, I'll overlay the Level 4 monsters with the name 'Unknown': [Shua Lala Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat] and [Hope Royal Onomatopoeia Utopia]! These two monsters form an Xyz Network! Xyz Summon!"

Yuuto raised his hand and pointed to the nebula vortex in the center of the arena that had not yet disappeared. The [Shua Lala Bancho - I I I Coat] and [Hope Emperor Onomatopoeia Utopia] on the field jumped into it under the light. As the golden light particles exploded, a platinum holy sword slowly emerged from it.

"My battle begins here! White wings that carry hope, messenger of light, appear! Rank 4! [No. 39 Hope Emperor Hope]!"

As the crimson number '39' lit up, the giant sword began to slowly unfold and transform before the astonished eyes of Ayaka Sajou and Kyoko Kyo, until it became a warrior with twin blades at his waist and white wings that brought hope to the world.

【No. 39 Hopeful Hopp】

【Level 4】

[Excess Material: 2]

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 2500]

Kyoko & Ayaka Sajou: Was that giant sword that sent me (that woman) flying yesterday actually a person?!

Clearly, using a person as a sword was far beyond their comprehension. For a moment, both of them stared with their mouths slightly open, unsure of what to say.

But You Du had no intention of waiting for them to react.

"Activate the effect of [Slammer Chief - Ga-G ...
