Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 968

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Jaden’s New Partners

Jaden and Neos ignored Yubel’s jealous outburst, letting her fume. Jaden continued, "Next, Neo Space Connector’s second effect:

"I can tribute this card to Special Summon a ’Neo-Spacian’ or ’Elemental HERO Neos’ from my graveyard in Defense Position!"

Earlier, Jaden had already sent two Neo-Spacians to the grave with Convert Contact.

"I revive ’Neo-Spacian Dark Panther’ from the grave!"

With the summon, a mass of black, sludge-like material appeared, slowly forming limbs and crouching as a fierce black panther.

[Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, DEF 500]

"Leave it to me, Jaden!" the black panther promised. "I’ll help bring back your important partner!"

Yubel grew even angrier. "So now you have all these loyal spirits by your side. Looks like you don’t need me at all, huh?"

Jaden said, "I return ’Elemental HERO Neos’ and ’Neo-Spacian Dark Panther’ from my field to the deck—Contact Fusion!"

Neos and Dark Panther soared into the sky, accelerating until they became twin meteors, merging into the stars.

"Dark Panther’s power, lend it to me—

—Elemental HERO Dark Neos, come forth!"

Transformed by the Panther’s power, Neos became pitch black, wings spread like a cape. The blue crystal on his chest gleamed, his streamlined body striped black and white.

[Elemental HERO Dark Neos, ATK 2500]

In the anime, Jaden didn’t fully recall Yubel’s monster effects and suffered for it. But now, remembering everything, he knew that facing Yubel head-on was disadvantageous. Summoning stronger monsters would only increase the backlash.

Yubel was the kind of opponent you couldn’t simply overpower; specific strategies were needed.

For example—Dark Neos.

"Elemental HERO Dark Neos’s effect: Choose one Effect Monster on the field. As long as Dark Neos remains, that monster’s effects are permanently negated!"

Dark Neos thrust out his right hand, and a dominating force exploded from his palm, as if invisible shackles bound Yubel.

Yubel’s expression changed. "My monster’s effect—negated?"

She realized this dark form of Neos was indeed her nemesis. Without effects, Yubel was just a 0 ATK vanilla—an easy target, unable to even act as a wall.

"I’ll make you wake up, Yubel!" Jaden shouted. "Elemental HERO Dark Neos, attack ’Yubel’!"

Dark Neos charged like a panther, claws slashing through the darkness at Yubel.

"Trying to take my Jaden is not so easy!" Yubel snapped. "I activate my set card—Trap Card: ’Ballista Squad’!

Tribute one monster on my field, destroy any card on the field.

I tribute myself—’Yubel’!"

A giant crossbow appeared, with goblins frantically operating it. Yubel leaped onto the bow, and the goblins launched her like an arrow straight at Dark Neos.
