"With this, the preparations are complete." Yuji said. "This turn, I'll finish you off!"
"[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]'s effect activates! Once per turn, by detaching 1 Xyz Material from this card, I can target 1 face-up monster my opponent controls and take control of it until the End Phase. The controlled monster's effects are negated, its ATK becomes 3000, and its name becomes 'Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon.' After this effect activates, monsters I control other than this card cannot attack directly this turn."
[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]'s wings projected bright five-colored light, shining on [Amazoness Pet Liger]. Beside it, an illusory [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] slowly condensed into form.
"Battle! [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] attacks [Amazoness Empress]!"
[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] released five-colored dragon breath toward the lone monster on the opponent's field.
"It's useless! Even if [Cipher Dragon]'s attack doubles because of your continuous spell, it will only inflict 3800 damage, and it'll be destroyed immediately by [Amazoness Heirloom]'s effect." Gloria sneered.
"Is that so?" Yuji laughed. "At this moment, [Utopia]'s effect activates! When a monster declares an attack, I can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to negate that attack! Light Wing Shield!"
"Negating your own attack?" Gloria sneered. "Did you realize you couldn't defeat my monster and retreat?"
"Don't worry, I said I'd defeat you this turn, and I won't save it for later. At this moment, I activate my set card - Quick-Play Spell, [Double or Nothing!]!"
"When a monster's attack is negated, I can target that monster. During this Battle Phase, that monster can attack once more. During the Damage Step of that attack, that monster's ATK doubles."
"Nani?" The twin sisters' faces changed drastically.
After Utopia absorbed the energy from [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon], its wings transformed into seven colours, then channeled even more majestic energy into [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]'s body. With this energy injection, continuous lightning surged around [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]!
"Let's go together! Attack!" Yuji roared.
"You've got me fired up." Kaito smiled lightly, looking at their opponents. "Are you ready to repent?"
"[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] attacks! Annihilating Cipher Stream! ×2" Yuji and Kaito shouted in unison.
The vast galaxy flickered in [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]'s eyes, and after raising its head to accumulate energy, it released the majestic power within its body.
"Due to [Double or Nothing!]'s effect, [Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]'s ATK doubles!" Yuji roared.
[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] ATK: 3300→6600
"At this moment, the Continuous Spell [Cipher Interference] activates! When a 'Cipher' monster battles while I control another monster with the same name, during damage calculation, that monster's ATK doubles until the End Phase!"
[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon] ATK: 6600→13200
"Attack power 13200?" The twin sisters' eyes widened, but they were soon overwhelmed by the energy torrent along with their monster.
Gloria/Grace LP: 9700 → 0
At that moment, a series of system prompts sounded in Yuji's mind.
[The second node of the first phase of the main mission has been completed.]
[Mission rewards: Random card pack in designated field x3, Random XYZ monster draw x3, Random Number monster x1 have been issued. Please check, host.]
[The third node task of the first stage of the main task has been opened.]
After the energy torrent ceased, Yuji didn't have time to carefully check the task rewards, as the unconscious sisters emerged from the smoke.
"Thank you for the support, chiefs. We've eliminated them both. Our troops have assembled, and we invite you to break out with us." Makoto Miura, the temporary chief of Spade Academy, approached Yuji and Kaito.
Yuji took out the prepared signal flare and launched it, alerting Shinjo outside to prepare for their arrival.
"You're the current Chief of Spade Academy? After breaking through, come act with us. We can't rescue you every time, and our combined academy students can better establish a defense line to block the Fusion Dimension invaders." Yuji said to Makoto Miura after turning the two unconscious sisters into cards.
Makoto Miura nodded: "I understand. After Yuto and Shun went to search for his sister Ruri, the Fusion Dimension soldiers pursued us. If we weren't afraid of causing you trouble, we would have joined you long ago."
Hearing Miura Makoto's reply, Yuji nodded and looked at Kaito: "What about you? Will you have Clover Academy's people join us?"
"Not interested." Kaito refused curtly.
"Come on, didn't we cooperate well just now?" Yuji said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I told you before, I'm only here to repay Yuto's favor." Kaito said coldly.
"Don't you owe me anything?" Yuji said, frantically searching the original owner's memories, trying to find a reason to keep this guy.
"I remember - I even treated you to dinner!" Yuji said, slapping his forehead, but seeing Kaito turning to leave, Yuji hurriedly called out: "Hey, don't go!"
"I'll have Allen bring the Clover students to your side. Take care of them." Kaito didn't turn around but left those words, and after jumping through the ruins, he disappeared from Yuji's sight.
"This damn tsundere is really difficult to handle." Looking in the direction Kaito left, Yuji pursed his lips helplessly.
Afterwards, Yuji looked at Makoto Miura beside him: "Let's go, time to break through."
The breakout operation went smoothly. With their commanders defeated, the Obelisk Force's morale was extremely low, and with Yuji summoning [Utopia] to provide cover, over 5,000 people from the entire Spade camp and peripheral supporters successfully converged. The price paid was only minor injuries.
After Yuji led his large force to find a place to set up camp, he opened the system panel.
First, today's spoils - the twins and the Obelisk Force soldiers easily defeated during the breakout were thrown into the shop, exchanging for over 10,000 gold coins. The two sisters alone provided half of this amount.
Afterwards, Yuji opened the system backpack and accessed the card packs from the mission rewards.
First, he'd open the 3 random XYZ monsters. The cards from last time were all very useful. Hopefully it would be the same this time, Yuji thought to himself.
[Random XYZ monsters opened x3]
[[Starliege Lord Galaxion] has been unlocked]
[[Starliege Paladynamo] has been unlocked]
[[Gem-Knight Pearl] has been unlocked]
Yuji: ...
