Elemental Hero Grand Neos, Summon!
"Grand Neos... So Neos is a hero who can adapt to any situation by borrowing the powers of different 'Neo-Spacians', right?" Ed murmured softly.
Although this was Ed's first time seeing this hero, he was already aware that this hero is definitely extraordinary!
The inherent ability of Earth Mole is to bounce the opponent's monster back to the hand, so the form of Neos borrowing Earth Mole's power likely carries this ability too.
If that's the case, I must take him down before that ability activates!
"Activate Set Card! Trap Card 'D-Chain'!"
Ed flipped over the Set Card, and a high-tech chain instantly appeared in Dystopia's hands, flashing with azure lightning along the steel links.
"D-Chain can be equipped to a Destiny Hero on your field as an Equip Card," Ed said, "the equipped monster's attack increases by 500!"
[Destiny Hero Dystopia, Attack 2800 → Attack 3300]
"Higher than Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Judai was speechless.
"That's right, but that's not the point." Ed smiled, raising his arm to point at his hero, "Destiny Hero Dystopia's effect activates!
When this card's attack is different from its original value, it can revert to its original attack, and destroy one card on the field! This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!"
[Destiny Hero Dystopia, Attack 3300 → Attack 2800]
"I destroy Elemental Hero Grand Neos! Noble Justice!"
The D-Chain, dragging with black lightning, was thrown out, drawing a graceful arc in midair. Grand Neos barely steadied his feet before being pierced through from front to back!
"Ah!" Marufuji Shou exclaimed, "Brother's new hero was defeated before it could even make a move..."
"Ha! Did you see that, Judai?" Ed began to gloat, "Even compared with your Cosmic Heroes, my Destiny Heroes are superior!"
"Ed really doesn't make it easy for me." Judai scratched his head, chuckling as he continued, "Then I shall activate Magic Card 'Magic Planter'. Send Continuous Magic 'Common Soul' on the field to the graveyard, and draw two cards." (Anime Effect)
Judai continued, "Magic Card 'Premature Burial', send one Monster Card from the deck to the graveyard. I send the re-shuffled Elemental Hero Neos to the graveyard!"
Accurately drawing out Neos from the deck, Judai sent it to the graveyard, then revealed another card: "Magic Card 'O-Oversoul'! Revive the Normal Elemental Hero from the graveyard!
Return to the field, Elemental Hero Neos!"
White light surged, and the Neos who had just exited the stage spun out and returned once more!
[Elemental Hero Neos, Attack 2500]
"You really seem to like that hero." Ed chuckled, "But with its power alone, it's not enough to oppose my Dystopia..."
"I know!" Judai laughed, "That's why I'll follow up with Magic Card 'Contact Gate'! Banish two different types of 'Neo-Spacian' from the game from my graveyard!
Then, Special Summon up to two 'Neo-Spacian' with different names from hand, deck, or graveyard!"
"What?" Ed's expression changed slightly.
"I banish 'Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin' discarded by 'Contact Out', and 'Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird' discarded by 'Card Destruction' from the game!"
Two Neo-Spacian were removed one by one, simultaneously ejecting two other cards from his deck.
"Special Summon 'Neo-Spacian Dark Panther', 'Neo-Spacian Grand Mole'!"
[Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, Attack 1000]
[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Attack 900]
"Two Neo-Spacian..." Ed's expression changed slightly, "Don't tell me you're going to..."
"Watch closely, Ed, the true power of the Neo-Spacians!" Judai raised his fist high, "Elemental Hero Neos, Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, Neo-Spacian Grand Mole—
—Triple Contact Fusion!"
Three figures simultaneously soared, crashing through the skies and into the boundless galaxy!
Neos was in the center, with the two Neo-Spacians flanking his sides. Dark Panther and Grand Mole turned into two beams of black and gold light respectively, layering over Neos' body. Neos underwent a fierce transformation, temporarily engulfed by strong light.
Dark Panther-san, Grand Mole-san, lend me your powers!
"Contact Fusion! Shatter the stars, mystical light—
—Elemental Hero Nebula Neos!!!"
The vast cosmos was dyed in various colors, the dazzling light screen resembling a rainbow. The fused hero descended from the galaxy, enveloped in a radiant aura that was blindingly bright.
The light was unbelievably brilliant, exceptionally divine, soft yet commanding, akin to a ruler dominating a sector of the stars.
Many students rose from their seats involuntarily, and even the teachers displayed expressions of disbelief.
Despite merely being an ordinary duel, the summon was theoretically just a holographic projection, yet everyone distinctly felt a power that far exceeded the typical projection.
This was a force only a Legendary Level high-level spirit would possess!

Even Youyu watching from above was somewhat surprised.
"Oh... Judai that kid, truly knows how to surprise people."
Chinai tilted his head and asked, "Isn't that the card you gave him?"
This week, Kaiba Group and the International Fantasy Society made some progress in researching the power of Neos, and Youyu handed some sample cards to Judai for testing.
However, Youyu shook his head: "They barely came up with some support Magic Traps, nothing as advanced as this."
Without a doubt, this Nebula Neos was hand-crafted by Judai himself.
According to the original progress, Judai could only fuse Neos with a single Neo-Spacian in the 'Light Society' arc, roughly enabling form changes for strategy.
Once the 'Other Dimension' arc began, Judai explored the technology of Triple Contact Fusion, starting to allow Neos to borrow the powers of two Neo-Spacians for stronger forms.
It seems now, Judai has mastered the trick in the first week...
Even Ed was slightly astounded: "Nebula Neos... does such an Elemental Hero exist in this world?"

"Don't be too surprised yet, Ed," Judai smiled, "The real prowess of Neos is just about to be revealed!"
