Chapter 1407: An Old Friend Who Hasn’t Been Seen for a Long Time

"If I have a Light Machine-Type Fusion Monster or Ally Monster on the field, activate the effect of this monster in my hand to Special Summon it from my hand!"

"Wake Up Breaking! Get CROSS-X Cannon!"

On Hayato's field, a blue space tunnel very similar to the special effects of [Rough Man's Expectation] opened up, and the figure of [X-Boss Cannon], who was frequently used by Hayato in the Duel Kingdom era, appeared at the other end of the portal.

However, as it passed through the portal and arrived at Hayato Field, as it moved forward, countless pairs of mechanical arms stretched out from nowhere in the space tunnel and began to replace its parts - the outdated artillery was replaced with energy weapons, the armor was replaced with new ones, and many engraved details and even infiltration lines were added. Finally, new colors were sprayed on many parts of its armor to create color differences.

The "X-Boss Cannon" that appeared on Hayato's field has an overall shape that is not much different from the past, but a closer look reveals that its overall style has at least jumped from "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM" to "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM: The Dark Side of Dimensions" (fog).

"Is this... [X-Chief Ganon]?" [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt] frowned uncertainly. There were so many students entering the "Duel-Links" world, and although the [XYZ] series cards were rare, they were not exclusive cards - Kaiba also had a set, but after knowing that Hayato had used it, he never used it again to avoid collisions - naturally, there were also students who brought one or two cards into the virtual world, so [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt] learned about the relevant information.

  But why does this look different from the one he had seen, which was just a picture of an ordinary monster, [X-Boss Cannon]?

"How do you know this belongs to [X-Chief Ganon]?" Hayato felt that [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt]'s eyesight was not very good. How could he see wrong with such an obvious difference?

"I have been the largest shareholder of the International Illusion Society for five years. I have earned hundreds of robes for nothing. How can I have this? Ahem, sorry for mispronouncing the word. I have printed so many cards for other people, why wouldn't I print a few new vests for my old friend? XYZ deck, I haven't used it for a long time!"

"Its name now is not [X-Boss Cannon], but [X-Cross Cannon]!"

[X-Cross Cannon] [4☆/Light]

【Mechanical family/effect】

[1800/1500]

"Tsk, it's just a new outfit with the same attack power, defense power, level and attributes as the original. What's the difference? Even because of the name change, the card that originally supported [X-Boss Cannon] can no longer be used against this [X-Cross Cannon]!"

Hearing the words of [Shadow of the King's Battle - Lopt], ​​Hayato said indifferently: "Indeed, things like [X·Y·Z Fusion] and [X·Y·Z Hyper Cannon] are no longer able to support the current [X-Cross Cannon]."

"But is there a possibility, I mean a possibility - that [X-Cross Cannon] is now less powerful than that card?"

"Let me show you the power of the strongest machine-tribe after evolution!" Shamelessly plagiarizing Kaiba's lines, Hayato waved his hand, "You can only activate it during your main phase. In exchange for not being a light attribute monster and being unable to be Special Summoned from the Fusion Deck this turn, the second effect of [X-Cross Cannon] is activated!"

"The 'Cross' in the name [Cross Cannon] can be understood not only as 'intersecting', but also as 'traveling'!"

"Call your friends, the Mechanical Tribe! Open the door to the allies in the communication deck!"

"Om-"

Following Hayato's order, [X-Cross Cannon], which looked completely different from its past appearance as a normal monster, proudly used effects that its past self could never have activated. It was now much stronger than before and already had enough power even without any other support cards - the best evidence of this was the other portal that had appeared in front of it in response to its call!

At the other end of the portal, [Y-Dragon Head] showed up. As another one of the "Red, Yellow and Blue" Big Three that rivals [Osiris Sky Dragon], [Y-Dragon Head] was also repeatedly persecuted because it would appear in extremely delicate positions every time after each fusion.

  (【Y-Dragon Head】: Quack! I don’t want to form a crotch!)

Just like the [X-Boss Cannon] was strengthened into the [X-Cross Cannon] after passing through the space tunnel, the [Y-Dragon Head] was also constantly undergoing transformation in the process of coming from the other end of the portal to this side. While the overall shape still maintains that of a flying dragon, a large number of engraved details and sharp parts are added, giving people the feeling that the round Sword King Dragon O Maru has been transformed into the Earthly Star O General after being modified by the domestic model manufacturer O core.

However, unlike the independent X-Cross Cannon, the Y-Dragon suddenly broke into many scattered parts when it arrived at the other side of the portal. It felt as if the hasty modification made the Y-Dragon's body shatter, and even the fixing screws were not tightened, causing it to suddenly disintegrate like Suo Ai.

But before [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt] could sneer, the scattered parts suddenly lit up with blue electric light and connected to [X-Cross Cannon]. The dragon wings overlapped into a single piece and attached to the back of [X-Cross Cannon] together with the dragon tail. The dragon claws were also attached to the lower body of [X-Cross Cannon] as legs, and the dragon head was directly worn on the right hand of [X-Cross Cannon].

  (Image reference)

The mix and match in front of him has a very confusing feeling of "Gundam with a Zaku head", and even Hayato couldn't help but complain - isn't this cosplaying [Flame Wingman]!

However, despite his complaints, Hayato still explained the effect of his monster: "During my Main Phase, the second effect of [X-Cross Cannon] can be activated, and the Allied Monster of the One-Person Machine-Type and Light Attribute that can be equipped to it can be used as an Equip Magic Card of that effect, and it can be equipped from my deck. Therefore, at this moment, [Y-Dragon Head] is regarded as equipped to [X-Cross Cannon] by its own effect."

"No, it's not quite right to call it [Y-Dragon Head] now. It should be [Y-Agile Dragon Head], although I don't quite understand how 'Dragon-Yearhead' can be translated into 'Agile Dragon Head'."

"As an Allied Monster, [Y-Agile Dragon Head] can naturally be Special Summoned again on my field with its own effect and by removing the equipment state. But before that, I have to activate this card in my hand." Hayato selected a card in front of him and played it, and a hexagonal hangar appeared on his field.

It was not a large hangar cluster like the [Alliance Hangar], but a separate maintenance box with many moving robotic arms, which were exactly the same as the robotic arms that had transformed [X-Boss Cannon] and [Y-Dragon Head] in the space tunnel before.

"I activate the magic card [Alliance Activation]. The effect of this card is to send a Light attribute Machine-type Normal Monster or Allied Monster from my Deck or Hand to the Graveyard, and then add a Light attribute Machine-type monster with the same ATK as that monster but with a different original card name from the Deck to my hand." "And the card I will send to the Graveyard is this Light attribute Machine-type Allied Monster [Y-Agile Dragon], and then I will add [Z-Infinite Tracks], which is also a Machine-type Light attribute monster with the same ATK as [Y-Agile Dragon] with 1500 points!"

  Accurate stacking and accurate inspection, this is the value of the evolved [XYZ]!

Seeing Hayato send the existing [Y-Agile Dragon Head] to the graveyard and then add the [Z-Infinite Tracks] which had "evolved" like the other two to his hand, [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt] sensed a dangerous aura: "After [X] came [Y], and now [Z]? Although I don't know how this [XYZ] is different from the past, it should also require the combination of the fusion materials on the field to appear, right?"

"But, your Normal Summon has already been used on [Summoner-Aleister], so you can't summon that [Z-Infinity Crawler] without other Ally Monster Support Cards!"

"Soleiwadoka?" However, what responded to [Shadow of the King's War - Lopt] was Hayato's confident smile, "I haven't introduced the effect of [Y-Agile Dragon Head] yet, right? If possible, I actually planned to call it [Y-Time Dragon Head], it sounds better."

"Well, first, I will use the effect of [Y-Agile Dragon Head], which is an Allied Monster, to remove its equipped state and Special Summon it to my field in Attack Position." After a pause, Hayato waved his hand, "Then at this moment, the first effect of the Special Summoned [Y-Agile Dragon Head] is activated!"

"It also comes at the cost of not being able to Special Summon non-Light monsters from my Fusion Deck this turn, but since I've already used the effect of [X-Cross Cannon] before, it doesn't matter! Similar to [X-Cross Cannon], but different, [X-Cross Cannon] equips an Allied Monster from the Deck, but the effect of [Y-Sensitive Dragon] equips a Level 4☆ One-Mechanical Light monster from my hand or graveyard as an Equip Card!"

"And the monster I want to equip is another [Y-Agile Dragon Head] in my graveyard!"

It separated from [X-Cross Cannon] and released the cosplay status of [Flame Wing Man]. The power of [Y-Agile Dragon Head] is "digging years" which is different from [X-Cross Cannon]'s "traveling through space". An ancient breath emanates from the earth, and then suddenly the dilapidated remains of another [Y-Agile Dragon Head] rises!

  Just like before, the [Y-Agile Dragon Head] disintegrated and then equipped to the [X-Cross Cannon]. The blue current connected the two [Y-Agile Dragon Head] together, and then Ouba!

The pair of wings became wider after being combined, and the original two-legged flying dragon was changed to a four-legged shape because of the addition of additional dragon claws. The addition of extra parts made the dragon's tail more slender and the body more robust, but the most eye-catching are the two parallel dragon heads!

Following the tenth generation's [E·hero Flame Wingman], it was Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes Twin Exploding Dragon] that was imitated by Hayato's "New [XYZ]".

(Modeling reference, this is also a tribute (sure)

"It's not over yet! Unlike [X-Interlace Cannon], whose two effects can only be used once per turn, and whose card name even says once per turn, the only limitation of [Y-Agile Dragon Head] and [Z-Infinite Tracks] in my hand is that the second effect can only be used once per turn, but it is not limited to once per turn as the card name says. The first effect has no restrictions at all!"

"I activate the effect of the second Equip Card, Y-Agile Dragon, to Special Summon it to my field, and then use the effect of Y-Agile Dragon to equip Z-Infinite Tracks from my hand!"

As if afraid that Kaiba would come to him to ask for copyright fees, Hayato quickly disintegrated [Y-Agile Dragon Head], and then played [Z-Infinite Tracks] from his hand to equip the second [Y-Agile Dragon Head]. This time, the [Z-Infinite Tracks] that had not appeared for a long time did not do any fancy things like the previous two, but just disintegrated normally and turned into an "external soul bone" equipped on [Y-Agile Dragon Head].

[X-Cross Cannon][ATK1800]

[Y-Smart Dragon Head] [4☆/Light]

【Mechanical family/effect】

[1500/1600]

[Y-Agile Dragon Head] ([Z-Infinite Tracks]) [ATK1500]

"Although the special effects look impressive, none of them are really strong. They can't even produce an attack power of more than 2000 points." Looking at the three new monsters on Hayato's field, [Shadow of the King's Battle - Lopt] raised his mouth, "And I noticed that neither [Y-Agile Dragon Head] nor [Z-Infinite Tracks], when equipped to other monsters as Equipment Cards, increased the attack power and defense power of the equipped monsters? It's even more ridiculous."

"Also, from what you said, [Z-Infinity Tracks] can also be Special Summoned by its own effect, right? But unfortunately, your field is already full without any space for even one monster. This means that this lineup is probably the final lineup you can use to fight against my [King Wars]!"

"Poor, weak, poor, weak!"

"What a strange idea! Why do you think that a full grid means you can't summon more monsters? Can't I just clear the grid?" Hayato raised an eyebrow and looked at his field. "Although it's not as convenient as Link and Hyper, it's well known that Fusion is the noblest summoning method - just like the 'Contact Fusion' I'm going to perform! Right now, right here!"

"I will banish the Machine-Type Light attribute [X-Cross Cannon] and the first [Y-Agile Dragon] I summoned from my field! Then, I will Special Summon this powerful Level 6☆ monster!"

"Command input: Left←! Right→! Be careful of the Winged Dragon!"

In the confused eyes of [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt], ​​the two mechanical monsters that had just cosplayed as [Flame Winged Man] were combined together again. After a complicated and powerful transformation, what appeared in front of him was——

A game controller!?

"Come out! [Alliance Manipulator]!"

In order to celebrate the start of school on September 9.1st, I even set the scheduled update to am (Happy
