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

“Next up is this card! Continuous Spell [Onomatopoeia Selection]!” The green card image stood upright beside him, and Yuuto continued, “Based on this card’s effect, I’m adding [Onomatopoeia Link] to my hand from my deck!”

After collecting the cards, Yuuto selected one card from his remaining hand and played it.

"I Normal Summon [Rumble Goblindberg] from my hand! Activate its effect to Special Summon [Rumble Rumble Dwarf - Rumble Rumble Glove] from my Deck! Then change this card on the field to Defense Position!"

Five red rotorcraft, piloted by goblin pilots, arrived at the field with a pentagonal transport container tied to a rope. They cut the rope and smashed the container to the ground, leaving only one aircraft behind while the other four returned to base.

After the shipping container landed on the street and kicked up a cloud of dust, the five sides slowly opened, revealing a dwarf warrior wearing a horned steel helmet and a pair of iron gauntlets.

[Rumble, rumble, rumble, goblindberg]

[Defense: 0]

【Angry Dwarf - Rumble Gloves】

[Defense: 1800]

"I'll stack these two monsters on the field! I'll create a stacking network with these two monsters! XYZ Summon!"

"Come on! Rank 4! [Me Me Me Me Girl]!"

A flamboyant and adorable delinquent girl makes a graceful entrance with a pink bow tied with a ribbon at her waist!

【Me, me, me, me, a young girl】

[Excess Material: 2]

[Defense: 1800]

Yutari then continued, "I remove one Xyz Material to activate the effect of the monster 'Gagagagaga Girl'!"

"Add 1 [Rumble Giant] from your deck to your hand! Then, the effect of [Rumble Goblindberg], which was just removed as Xyz Material, is applied! Add 1 [Rage Rage Warrior] from your deck to your hand!"

One extra material was exchanged for two cards.

Tsk tsk tsk, that's why they say the 1301 card pack is such a great boost to the Hope deck!

Look at these cards; each one is practically a Hope Beyblade, and they've all appeared more often than the last, practically becoming workhorses...

Chapter 278 The True Future Dragon Emperor

"I activate the Spell Card [Onomatopoeia Link] from my hand!"

Having replenished his hand with suitable cards, Yuuto then inserted the [Onomatopoeia Link] card he had just retrieved into his Duel Disk.

"Send the [Rumble Giant] from your hand to the graveyard, and add [Swish Rumble Knight] and [Swish Rumble Bancho - I I I Coat] from your deck to your hand!"

Then Yuuto added [Shualala Knight] to his hand and then drew [Shualala Bancho - I I I Coat] from his backhand.

"If you have [Shalala Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat] in your hand and control any 'Shalala' monsters or 'Ga Ga Ga' monsters other than [Shalala Bancho - Ga Ga Ga Coat], you can Special Summon it directly from your hand!"

"Come on! [Shua Lala Bancho - Me Me Me Jacket]!"

A delinquent gang leader, dressed in black armor on his upper body but ordinary pants on his lower body, stepped out of the card wearing a school jacket. He dragged a barbed iron rod on the ground, sparks flying from the friction.

[Brush Lala Bancho - Me Me Me Jacket]

[Attack power: 1800]

"Sarara!! Once per turn, target 1 'Rumble Rumble' monster or 'Rage Rage Rage' monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon that monster!"

As Yudu finished speaking, the leader of the Shalala gang on the field also opened his eyes wide with anger and let out a loud shout.

"Swish Lala!"

After the loud shout, a dark purple passage leading to the graveyard opened up in the center of the arena. Then, with the hum of a rotorcraft, the goblin pilot returned from the underworld in his vehicle.

Ugh~ I've already reached my limit!

[Rumble, rumble, rumble, goblindberg]

[Defense: 0]

After the red plane took off, the passage leading to the cemetery in the field had not yet closed. A square rock arm stretched out from it, following the trajectory of the [Rumble Goblindberg], and grabbed the edge of the passage, pulling itself up as well.

A square stone golem, with its unusually protruding shoulders, crouched on the field with its arms crossed.

At this moment, You Du calmly said, "At this instant, the effect of the [Rumble Giant] in the graveyard also activated!"

"Once per turn, while this card is in the Graveyard, if you Special Summon a monster whose name includes 'Rumble', you can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard in face-up Defense Position!"

Although Yuwatari cannot enter the Battle Phase during the turn this effect is activated, it doesn't matter now that it's the first turn!

[The Rumbling Giant Spirit]

【4 stars】

【Rock Tribe/Earth】

[Defense: 2200]

A total of 6 monsters filled the entire area of ​​the Yudo arena, and their different sizes made Yudo, who was surrounded in the center, very inconspicuous.

"I'm stacking the 4-star [Rumble Giant] with [Shua Lala Bancho - Wa Wa Wa Coat]! I'm building a stacking network with these two monsters! XYZ Summon!"

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

The sage, clad in golden armor, appeared within a nebula vortex erupting in the sky. But before he could even land, the two supermaterials surrounding him flew into the scepter in his hand at Yudu's command.

"The monster effect of [Fellowship of the Fellowship - Sage of Hope] is activated! Deliver 2 Xyz Materials and Special Summon 1 [Fellowship of the Fellowship - Ascended Sage] from your Deck!"

[Different Heat Servant - Ascended Sage]

[Defense: 300]

"Next, I will use [Different Heat Servant - Ascended Sage] and [Rumble Goblindberg] to construct a superimposed network! Come before me once more! [No. 39 Hope Emperor Hope]!"

【No. 39 Hopeful Hopp】

[Attack power: 2500]

The warriors who brought hope returned, but everyone discovered that Yudo didn't seem to intend to stop there.

What else does he need to do?

Hansa, who had just recovered from Yudo's series of Xyz Summonings, thought to himself, but then he saw Yudo raise his hand, and the two monsters on the field were immediately enveloped in light and rose into the air.

Ah, he's familiar with this process. Wasn't that Servant over there just performing a series of Xyz Summonings?

But... he remembered that there didn't seem to be any monsters of the same star level on the field anymore, right?

Hmm? So what is he using as material for Xyz Summoning now?

Hansa recalled the information about Xyz Summoning that he had obtained from his mind, and immediately widened his eyes to look at the arena.

"I'm stacking my Rank 4 [I-I-I-I Girl] and [Different Heat Servant - Sage of Hope] on the field! XYZ Summon!"

Using Xyz Monsters as materials for Xyz Summoning?!

Is this even possible?!

Hansa felt he was gradually understanding everything...

Looking at the two spiraling orbs of light rising in the sky, You Du shouted.

"Pegasus! Here you are free, gallop towards the boundless future! This is the beginning of my world! My future!"

"Soar into the sky! [FNo.0 Future Emperor Hope]!"

Crimson armor adhered to the jet-black body, with orange-yellow patterns that lit up, extending from the silver-white breastplate to the limbs.

At that moment, the twisting iron wings flapped, scattering countless feathers that cleaved through the endless darkness of the nebula.

【FNo.0 Future Emperor Hope】

【Level 1】

[Excess Material: 2]

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 0]

"It's not over yet! I'll use one more monster, Future Emperor Hope, as material to rebuild the overlay network! XYZ Change!"

"Come on! [FNo.0 Future Dragon Emperor Hope]!"

Having merely walked back and forth within that nebula vortex, the original future Emperor Hope was once again clad in a layer of silver-white armor.

The breastplate with the number '0' representing the number on it was replaced with a larger version of the Emperor's Key, and the cicada-wing-like iron wings on its back were transformed into enormous bird wings, with layers of 'feathers' hanging on them, each one as sharp as a blade.

【FNo.0 Future Dragon Emperor Hope】

【Level 1】

[Excess Material: 3]

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 3000]

To be honest, after playing the "future Dragon Emperor" meme for so long, seeing the real "future Dragon Emperor" suddenly appear is a bit hard to accept...

Shaking his head to banish the strange feelings that had suddenly popped into his mind, Youdu picked out a few cards from his remaining hand.

"I equip the [Heat-Bound Weapon - Wind God Cloud Dragon Sword] from my hand as an equipment card that increases attack power by 1300 points to the [Beast Fusion Lion Hope] on the field!"

The crimson dragon tumbled through the clouds, descending from the sky with a fierce wind, transforming into a silver-white sword with a crimson hilt. It fell into the hands of the lion Hope, pushing one of the Pegasus Twin Swords that Hope was holding off the ground.

【Beast Suit Fusion Lion Hope】

[Attack power: 3500→4800]

"Finally, I set one card face down, and the turn ends."

Chapter 279 The Knights of the Other Shore

"My...turn...card draw..."

The Pale Knight spoke as if he were an elderly man asking a stranger for directions, his speech slow and he would pause from time to time as if he had forgotten what he was going to say.

"Go for it, Mr. White Flower!" Even though she had a lot of information in her mind, she still didn't understand the essence of the game. She cheered for the Pale Knight with all her might.

Amidst the cheers of Tsubaki Kugaoka, the Pale Knight stiffly drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and then showed it to Yuuto, speaking in his slightly smoother voice.

"I activate the Spell Card [Dark World's Draw] from my hand. Both players draw one card from their decks. After that, the player who drew the card discards one card from their hand."

After saying that, the Pale Knight took the lead and drew a card to exchange with his own hand, followed closely by Yuuto.

He had already guessed that the card the Pale Knight sent to the graveyard was probably a card whose effect could only be activated in the graveyard, or a card whose effect could only be activated after being sent to the graveyard.

As expected, the Pale Knight spoke as Yuuto had anticipated: "The effect of [Libikok the Demon from the Other Shore], who was sent to the graveyard, is activated."

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 Level 3 Fiend-Type DARK monster from my hand; however, the effects of the monster Special Summoned by this effect will be negated."

"I will Special Summon [Graviacanne the Demon from the Other Shore] in Defense Position."

the other side?

Yuto temporarily suppressed the urge to activate the effects of Future Dragon Emperor or Face Card.

It's too impulsive to hastily use your Block deck before even figuring out what deck your opponent is using.

Of course, this doesn't mean he does nothing!

"Chain with the effect of your [Libycock the Demon of the Other Shore], I activate the effect of [No. 99 Hope of the Emperor Dragona]!"

"Remove two Xyz Materials, and Special Summon [Number 69: Crest of the Shield - Gods Smash] from my Extra Deck!"

[No. 99 Hopeful Real Hopp Dragona]

[Excess Material: 2 → 0]

Seeing that the six floating cannons behind the giant standing behind Yuuto absorbed the remaining two orbs of light and then detached from their original positions, Ayaka Sajo was somewhat surprised.

So this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn?
