"The original is back! [N. Ocean Dolphin]!"

【N·Ocean Dolphin】【4☆/Water】

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[900/1100]

After returning from NEX, N·Ocean Dolphin has become a completely new form, or rather, has returned to its original form before coming to Earth. It has become significantly more humanoid, and has discarded some of the dolphin's characteristics that it acquired in order to adapt to Earth's gravity. Its level has also risen from 3☆ to 4☆.

Although in this world, [E·hero New Bubble Man] exists as an earlier predecessor, and the power of [M·hero] is already in the tenth generation's deck, in another world, because [E·hero New Bubble Man] does not exist as a Fusion Monster but as a Special Summoned Monster in the Main Deck, [N·Ocean Dolphin] is the first Fusion Monster in history that does not have Fusion Materials, and is also the first monster with two names at the same time.

"Huh, I got stronger, is it because I got rid of gravity? Damn gravity." Clenching his fists, [N. Ocean Dolphin] felt his strength recover, turned to Judai and said, "If you need me, you can always let me go, Judai!"

"Oh, then let's do it now, here!" Judai nodded, discarded a card from his hand, looked at Keith and said, "After breaking free from the constraints of gravity, [N. Ocean Dolphin] can now use its own effects normally. Once per turn, I discard a card in my hand to activate its effect--"

"Echoes-Act 1!"

The name of the effect move changed from the original "Echo Location" to pure "Echo". As Judai discarded his cards, [N·Ocean Dolphin] put his palms together and pointed directly at Keith's cards, then pushed them forward suddenly!
Keith watched as the card in his hand was hit by the sound waves released by [N. Ocean Dolphin]'s palms and suddenly made a sound, just like shouting into an empty valley and getting an echo!
“Is the roast chicken out?”

“Is the roast chicken out?”

"The roast chicken is gone!"

Keith's hand card shouted "Show me here", and then the originally invisible sound actually had a shape. The sound released by each card of Keith presented the original appearance of the card that made the sound in front of Judai!
"Under the effect of [N. Ocean Dolphin], the opponent's hand will not be a secret to me. Let's take a look at the hand?" Looking at the hand of Keith that was transformed by the voice text, Judai looked through them one by one, then clicked on one and said, "Although these are all cards I don't know very well, at least I can understand the card values."

"Echoes-Act2! After checking my opponent's hand, I can select a monster card from among them. If there is a monster on my field with an attack power greater than the attack power of the selected target monster, I can further destroy the target monster!"

Facing one of the materialized voices, [E·hero New Yuxia] on the Judai field stood up, swung his hand knife vertically, and destroyed the image of a monster in Keith's hand card presented in the voice with a chest-piercing palm. At the same time, the corresponding card in Keith's hand also shattered violently!

Judai said again, "It's not over yet! Echoes-Act 3! Add 500 points of effect damage to the opponent's duelist!"

A burst of sound came out of nowhere from Keith's broken card. The strong airflow formed by the sound not only made Keith, who was wearing sunglasses, almost unable to open his eyes, but the noise also made his ears tinnitus.

[Keith Howard: 4000 → 3500 LP, hand 5 → 4]

"Oh! You're showing off your momentum, Judai!" Fubuki cheered for Judai from the sidelines, "Although it's a waste of cards, it's much stronger than just using fusion."

"Although everyone knows that Fusion Summoning is a very wasteful summoning method, Senior Fubuki, you are just being bad." Marufuji Sho also complained, looking at the [N·Ocean Dolphin] on the field, "However, although it has lost the ability to activate an unlimited number of times in one round, [N·Ocean Dolphin] at least does not have the risk of being hurt compared to [N·Water Wave Dolphin]."

"Ugh! You actually pulled this kind of trick in a duel, you annoying brat!" Keith complained, covering his ears. After a pause, he looked at Judai's remaining three cards and sneered again, "But you used up two cards in a row just for this?"

"Although you did succeed in reducing my basic points, let me tell you one thing - don't destroy other people's cards casually!"

As Keith finished his words, a light suddenly appeared in his grave, and a huge land weapon that looked like a spider appeared behind Keith!

"If it is destroyed by battle or an effect and sent to the Graveyard, activate the effect of this [Star Trek - Land Walker]!" Keith proudly took out a card from his deck, "Special Summon a Level 5☆ or lower [Star Trek] monster from my deck!"

"Lord Black, Witch of the West, the dual fantasies of science fiction and magic are entangled here, reenacting the epic adventure in the universe!" Keith shouted, placing the card horizontally on the duel disk, "Put on the golden hat, put on the mask, serve the beasts, control the lightsaber, and come!"

"Special summons, level 5☆!"

"The dark side of the Force and magic——【Star Trek-Dak Avaba】!"

[Star Trek-Dark Avabar] [5☆/Dark]

[Telekinetic/Effect]

[2200/1800]

It was clearly Judai's turn, but Keith summoned a monster that looked quite strong. The [Star Wizard - Dark Avabar], who was wearing a black dress, a pointed hat, a mask on his face, and holding a lightsaber, made Judai feel like he was seeing something. Thinking of the giant spider-like walker just now, Judai guessed, "Is this The Wizard of Oz?"

"Hmm? I thought a kid your age would guess Star Wars first." Keith raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but nodded, "That's right, the deck I'm using, Star Wars, is a deck created based on the common prototypes of The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars."

"The name of the field [Kozmo] is a combination of the original name of The Wizard of Oz, The Witch of Oz, and 'Cosmos.' And based on whether the prototype is a creature or a prop, the [Kozmo] monsters are divided into mechanical types such as [Kozmo-Land Walker], and telekinetic types such as [Kozmo-Dark Avabar] on my field."

"Be thankful, kid, you are the first person to see this deck besides the card designer, Hayato Kobayashi, and me."

Listening to Keith's introduction, Maruto Sho outside the venue was confused: "The Wizard of Oz has just been performed on Broadway, and the famous actress Mazaki Anko has participated in it. I have seen the videotape that my brother found. I have also seen Star Wars. The last part of the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith, was released last year." "But these two works can actually be combined to create a Duel Monsters deck? You are amazing, International Illusion Club."

"Duel Monsters, isn't it amazing? No, it's more like the designer of the Duel Monsters card has a very wild imagination." Fubuki whistled, "The prototype of [Star Trek - Land Walker] seems to be the giant spider that bullied small animals and was killed by the lion in The Wizard of Oz, and the AT-AT walker in Star Wars. Not to mention [Star Trek - Dark Avabar], the prototype is obviously the 'Lord' Darth Vader in Star Wars and the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz."

“It’s amazing that they were able to find characters with common settings that can be linked together in two works with completely different backgrounds, and then stitch them together to create a new card. The card designer is quite talented. But, it seems that it’s easy to get a lawyer’s letter, right?”

"This worry is unnecessary. Didn't the International Illusion Agency acquire Disney together with the Seahorse Group two years ago? The two companies divided up all of Mr. Mi's inheritance. One took all the copyrights and the other took all the businesses. Seahorse didn't even leave Disneyland for it. It turned it all into its own Seahorse Park." After a pause, Ameruda said disdainfully, "It's really the style of that arrogant guy."

"I was saying that I couldn't find Disneyland when I wanted to go on a date during the holidays. So that's how it is." Fubuki, who only recovered herself last year, was not very clear about what happened during the year she was missing. It was only after hearing what Amerda said that she suddenly realized.

Turning his eyes back to the field, N. Ocean Dolphin was a little embarrassed to see that he had destroyed his opponent's hand and let the opponent take the opportunity to summon a monster. "Although E. Hero's 2500 attack points are higher than Star Walker's 2400 points, the opponent took the opportunity to summon a monster. Sorry, Judai."

"No, I made the decision. It has nothing to do with you, [N. Ocean Dolphin]." Judai didn't care much. He waved his hand and looked at Keith's field excitedly. "In fact, this makes people more excited, isn't it?"

"My 'new spaces' are a combination of my childhood fantasies and the technology of the Kaiba Group, creating a whole new force in the universe. Star Trek is also a space story full of epic romance that combines magic and science fiction. It's so cool!"

"You're right, Mr. Hayato is right. It's gravity that brings people together. I was able to meet Mr. Keith, who also uses the 'Space' theme deck, on the island. It was simply the guidance of gravity like fate!"

Watching Judai talking to himself with the card, Keith was not someone who didn't understand the truth of the world - after all, he had experienced a soul seal once, and not everyone was as stubborn and superstitious as Kaiba. Although he couldn't see the spirits, he knew they existed and understood that Judai was communicating with his own cards.

"I don't know about gravity or anything like that, but I know duelists are attracted to each other, especially those who are similar." Keith pushed up his sunglasses. "But I don't know if your [N] is similar enough to my [Star Trek] yet."

"Then wait and see, Mr. Keith. My [N]s haven't yet unleashed their full power." Judai said, waving his hand. "The [N]s from the 'New Space' adapted to the Earth's gravity and acquired a form of movement on Earth. But in addition to returning to their original form, there is another way to release their original power—"

"[N·Giant Mole], and [E·hero Xinyuxia], lend me your strength. Then, we will eat mud together (now we are one here!)!"

Judai didn't play any cards, but as he raised his hand, [N·Giant Mole] and [E·hero Xinyuxia] on his field stood up and punched each other. At the moment when the two touched, the light of fusion bloomed even without the [Fusion] magic card!

"I return [N·Giant Mole] and [E·hero New Martial] on my field to the Deck, and Special Summon this monster from my Fusion Deck without the need for a Fusion Spell Card!"

Seeing Judai removing the cards on the field and taking out a Fusion Monster Card to shoot, Amerda's face was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but say: "This is, Kobayashi Hayato's 'Contact Fusion'?!"

Because Hayato started shouting "Contact Fusion" with fusion monsters like [XYZ-Shenlong Cannon] as early as six or seven years ago, "Contact Fusion" was also redefined by Hayato. In the eyes of the public, any monster on the field that special summons a fusion monster without the additional control of [Fusion] cards can be called "Contact Fusion".

Even before that, Manjome had named the fusion summon of his [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] with the effects of [Dragon of Darkness and Destruction] "Chaos Contact Fusion", making Judai, who was the first to use "Contact Fusion" in another world, become a latecomer.

However, the contact and fusion of the Tenth Generation's [N·Giant Mole] and [E·hero Shinyuxia] still surprised people. Marufuji Sho outside the venue even complained: "It was fine that they just looked and named alike before, but they can actually touch each other and transform? Isn't this completely turning into Ultraman?"

"It's good enough that there's no additional three-minute battle time limit." Fubuki said this casually, not knowing that she could be considered a "prophet."

"The resolute life that excavated the rock, the life form of light from the sky, will merge here and become the guardian of the earth!" Putting his hands together, Judai shouted, "Contact Fusion, Level 7☆!"

"Use the drill to open up a path - [E·hero Daichi Shinyuxia]!"

[E·hero Earth New Yuxia] [7☆/Earth]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2500/2000]

"E.Hero Shinyuxia's attack, defense, and level remain unchanged after it came into contact with N.Giant Mole, but it has gained an effect borrowed from N.Giant Mole. Once per turn, it can select a monster on the opponent's field and return it to the owner's hand without having to fight."

Pointing at Keith's field, Judai declared, "I will activate the effect of [E·hero Earth New Warrior] right now and return [Star Trail - Dark Avabar] on the opponent's field to the opponent's hand!"

"Nebula Hollow!"

Judai's idea was simple. Although he accidentally helped Keith Special Summon a monster from his deck, [Dark Avaba - Star Trek] was a Level 5☆ advanced monster. He just needed to put it back into Keith's hand, right?

Because it is the first round, it cannot enter the battle phase, and the effect of [N·Giant Mole] itself is invalidated due to the previous [New Space Expansion]. However, [E·hero Earth New Universe Man] that came into contact and fused does not have this limitation and can activate its effect freely!
The huge drill in his hand began to spin, and [E·hero Daichi Shinyuxia] locked onto [Star Wizard - Dark Avaba] on Keith's field, leaped up and stabbed out with the spinning drill!
However, when [Star Wonder-Dark Avabar] was about to be hit by the effect of [E·hero Earth New Warrior], Keith raised his hand calmly and said to [E·hero Earth New Warrior] who was charging forward, "In the past, I was the only one who destroyed the opponent's cards with monster effects, and then Hayato Kobayashi and others arrogantly said this to me. It really is a matter of time."

"I don't understand the effect of putting monsters back into the hand, so..." Keith's eyes became sharp under his sunglasses, "I don't understand, it's counter!"

As Keith and [Star Fairy-Dark Avaba] on the field made a clasped palm movement, [E·hero Earth New Universe Warrior] suddenly stopped moving, covering his throat with one hand but couldn't grab anything, as if someone had grabbed his throat! ? (End of this chapter)
