Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Seeing that Asuka didn't hand over Kang easily, and even allowed him to draw cards, Judai looked at the card he had just drawn with a little distress.

"Hmm? This card?" Judai's eyes lit up and he looked up. "It feels like it might work!"

"Although it won't be targeted by the effect, Asuka, your monsters don't have resistance to destruction, right? In that case, how about trying to counter this card?"

As he spoke, Judai took down the hand card floating in front of him and threw it into the sky: "Glorious Heavenly Power, use the card to guide it! Magic Card [Lightning Strike] is activated!"

"Due to the effect of this card, all monsters on your opponent's field will be destroyed!"

The [Lightning Strike] thrown by Judai dissipated in the air, but it attracted a large number of thunderclouds that were originally located above the [Boom Boom] and gathered above Asuka's field. The rumbling thunder seemed to be about to strike at any time and wipe out the monsters on her field.

"Don't even think about it!" Although she wanted to keep this Kang, the appearance of [Lightning Strike] forced Asuka to use the effect of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] in order to protect more monsters. "While [Silent Prayer - Law] exists, when the opponent activates the effects of magic, traps, or monsters, activate the third effect of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law]!"

"Nullify that activation and destroy it!"

[Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] raised his two swords above his head, crossed them into an "X" and swung them towards the sky. The sharp sword energy was unstoppable and in an instant it split the thunderclouds in the sky into four parts. Then, the exploding sword energy storm completely dissipated the dark clouds.

Judai's previous [Pot of Greed] failed to trick Asuka into countering, but Asuka's choice at that time was not problematic. After all, Judai still had five cards in his hand, and even if he countered [Pot of Greed], he still had four cards in his hand. Who knew if something strange would come out of it? Naturally, he couldn't just give up the counter.

But who could have imagined that it was the [Pot of Greed] that Asuka let go that helped Judai draw a [Thunder Strike], forcing Asuka to give up the counter-attack in order to protect her own monster. In this way, although both of them were counter-attacked, the number of cards in Judai's hand increased from four cards when he was counter-attacking [Pot of Greed] to five cards when he was counter-attacking [Thunder Strike]. It would have been better if he had counter-attacked [Pot of Greed] before to prevent Judai from replenishing his hand.

I can only say that the "Professor Chronos's Pot to Cheat" taught by Professor Chronos. I mean the value of the "Pot of Greed to Cheat" tactic is still rising. You have to choose between letting others earn cards and giving up your health.

"What a pity, it failed." Judai looked at the invalidation and destruction of [Lightning Strike] with some regret, but smiled and said, "But in this case, Asuka, the only card you have on the field that can interfere with me is [Ancient Saint Dai - First Dragon], right? I haven't forgotten its effect after dueling with you so many times."

"So—" Judai drew another card from his hand and called out, "If there are no face-up monsters on my field, pay half of my Life Points to activate this Spell Card, [Hero Arrival]!"

  (AI thinks the hero's opponent is dread peptide (laughs)

"From my deck, I will Special Summon a Level 4☆ or lower [E·hero] monster. The one I want to Special Summon is [E·hero Bubble Man]!"

[Ten generations of Youcheng: 4000→2000LP]

Hearing the name of the monster card from Judai's mouth, Asuka had an expression of "As expected": "Is it this combo again? And then we have to use the effect of the successfully Special Summoned [E·hero Bubble Man] to draw a card, right?"

"Hehe, even though Manjome often says that my combo is a three-pronged one, that's what heroes are like. As long as I can win in the end, I won't get tired of using the same finishing move fifty times." Judai said with a smile, holding high the [Hero Arrival] card, watching this magic card transform into the monster card [E·hero Bubble Man] in this virtual world and was about to play it.

  (With the evil sword fairy)

"Come on, make your choice, Asuka." Blue bubbles were already appearing around Judai, and he was ready to special summon [E·hero Bubble Man] at any time.

"The choice is to let me Special Summon [E·Hero Bubble Man] and then add more cards to my hand."

"Or chain the special summon of [E-hero Bubble Man] using the card in your backfield?"

"Huh? How do you know that the face-down card in my backfield can be used to chain the special summon of [E-hero Bubble Man]?" Asuka was a little surprised when she heard it.

Touching his nose, Judai grinned and said, "Because Asuka, when you saw me use [Hero Arrival], you had an expression of 'As expected'. It was as if you had expected me to use this card and felt relieved that the cards in your backfield would not be wasted."

"So, Asuka, do you want to chain?"

"It's the same choice again. I won't make the same mistake again." Facing the choice given by Judai, Asuka adjusted her blonde hair, smiled, and said without hesitation, "This time, of course I have to chain. No, it's better to say that I can only chain activate this cover card in my backcourt!"

"Continuous Trap Card [Cash Back]! This card can negate the activation of the effects, magic, and trap cards of effect monsters activated by the opponent by paying basic points, and return them to the deck!" Asuka pointed at the [E·hero Bubble Man] that was about to land. "[Hero Arrival] is a magic card that is activated by paying basic points. With the effect of [Cash Back], its activation is negated!"

"I want to create the future with my cards!"

A powerful storm was released from [Cash Back], colliding with the bubbles around Judai and forcibly expelling [E-hero Bubble Man] who was about to be summoned, and also kicked [Hero Arrival] back into the deck.

With the precedent of [Pot of Greed], Asuka doesn't want to try to see what other cards Judai can draw, such as a second [Lightning Strike] or something. The three-color counter of [Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law] on her field is once per turn, but she can't deal with the second one.

And Judai wanted this situation. Although it was a pity that [Hero Arrival] was invalidated, he still smiled and said, "Finally, now I can finally start my real development without any hindrance, Asuka."

"First, the effect of [Demon King of the Swamp], discard it from my hand to the graveyard to activate its effect, and add a [Fusion] from my deck to my hand." After retrieving the [Fusion] magic card, Judai said excitedly, "In this way, the necessary cards are collected!"

"My [Hero]s have been waiting for a long time! Right now, I will activate this magic card [Fusion] that I just added to my hand, select two monsters from my hand, [E·hero Liquid Man] with water attribute and [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl] with dark attribute as fusion materials, and perform a Fusion Summon!"

After using up three of the remaining four cards in one go, Judai raised his palms toward the sky and called out, "The fusion material requirements are two [Hero] monsters with different attributes!"

"The despair under the night will be washed away by the sudden rain, leaving only the light of hope to bloom at dawn. Show your brilliance, Hero of the sun!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 7☆!"

The card took shape out of thin air in his hand, and the Fusion Monster Card wrapped in light was thrown forward by Judai, turning into a golden and red ball of light that rushed out!

"Wake-Up! [E·hero Sunrise]!"

  The two forces of darkness and water intertwined on Judai's field, turning into a dark blue cape fluttering, and the golden and red light balls stopped, revealing a hero who was shining with dazzling but not glaring warmth, like the sun! In front of Judai, [E·hero Sunrise] made a grand appearance!

【E·hero Sunrise Man】【7☆/Light】

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2500/1200]

Seeing the monsters summoned by Judai, Asuka's expression became serious: "The special summoned [E·hero Sunrise], the fusion material [E·hero Liquid Man], and the [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl] that was sent to the graveyard?!"

"It's just what you thought, Asuka. A triple chain. A triple chain created by Hero under the power of Fusion." Judai smiled and held up three fingers. "C1 [E. Hero Sunrise]. If this card is Special Summoned successfully, I will add a [Miracle Fusion] from my deck to my hand. "

"C2 [E. Hero Liquid Man], If this card becomes material for a Fusion Summon of a [Hero] Fusion Monster, is sent to the Graveyard, or is banished, I draw two cards from my Deck and choose a card from my hand and discard it;"

"C3 [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl], If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate it. Add a [Hero] monster other than [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl] from my deck to my hand!"

C1 [E·hero Sunrise] C2 [E·hero Liquid Man] C3 [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl], in the self-arrangement chain, the Tenth Generation first retrieved a [Hero] monster from the deck - the classic mortal hero [E·hero Winged Man] that the Tenth Generation loved so much that he was almost overworked to death.

But then, after he used the effect of [E·hero Liquid Man] to draw two cards, he immediately sent the [E·hero Winged Man] he had just retrieved to the graveyard, and finally used the effect of [E·hero Sunrise Man] to retrieve a [Miracle Fusion] from the deck into his hand.

[Yujo Judai: 2000 LP, hand 1→4]

After the appearance of [E·hero Sunrise] on the field, Judai's hand did not change at all, and he still had four cards!

Moreover, this was not the first time Asuka had seen [E·hero Sunrise], and she was very clear about the powerful effect of the [Miracle Fusion] that he retrieved from Judai's hand.

"【E·Hero Sunrise】 can increase the attack power of all monsters on my field by the type of monsters on my field x 200 points. Since there is only one type of light attribute now, the attack power of 【E·Hero Sunrise】 itself will increase by 200 points." Judai said, showing the 【Miracle Fusion】 that he just retrieved, "However, a hero of justice should not be alone, and other partners will follow soon!"

"I activate the magic card [Miracle Fusion], and I banish monsters from my field and graveyard as Fusion Materials, and Fusion Summon an [E·hero] Fusion Monster." Judai held two cards between his fingers, "The cards I banish are the wind attribute monster [E·hero Wingman] and the dark attribute monster [E·hero Shadow Mist Girl] in my graveyard! The Fusion Material requirement is two [E·hero] monsters with different attributes!"

“The heart of enthusiasm cannot be extinguished. The endless power of storms and the pure power of darkness converge. Transform into a guardian under the night and soar into the sky!”

"My beloved hero has arrived!"

Although the materials are two [E·hero] monsters with dark and wind attributes, [Miracle Fusion] can create miracles as its name suggests. The two elemental forces invested in it are understood, reconstructed, and reversed into the dual power of fire and wind.

  In one hand he holds a dragon-head-shaped flamethrower, and on one side of his back he has wings that can control the storm. Now Yuki Judai's favorite classic monster has arrived on his field, looking majestic!

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆——"

"【E·hero Flame Wingman-Flame Attack】!"

[E·hero Flame Wingman-Flame Attack] [8☆/Wind]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2100/1200]

"This card has the ability to add a [Beloved] card from my deck or graveyard to my hand when it is Special Summoned. I choose to add [Beloved Hero] from my deck to my hand."

Judai retrieved a card and said, "Next, since there is a Normal Monster [E·hero Wingman] in the Fusion Material, the second effect of [E·hero Flame Wingman - Flame Strike] can be activated by Liberating itself, and a Level 7☆ or lower [E·hero] monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from my Deck and Fusion Deck can be Special Summoned regardless of the Summoning Conditions."

"So come out, [E·hero Flame Wing Man]!"

Simply changing his identity, [E·hero Flame Wingman - Flame Strike] removed the suffix and reappeared on the field of Judai.

[E·hero Flame Wingman] [6☆/Wind]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2100/1200]

Then, at this moment, before the newly appeared [E·hero Flame Wingman] had time to land and enjoy the attack power bonus provided by [E·hero Sunrise], Asuka suddenly said: "This is the moment, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, Judai!"

"When I saw you Special Summon [Lava Golem] to my field, I guessed that you would definitely Special Summon your favorite [E-hero Flame Wingman] in this duel, and then cooperate with cards like [Beloved Hero] and [Skyscraper] to destroy [Lava Golem] through battle and cause me a lot of damage."

After a pause, Asuka looked at the [Beloved Hero] that Judai had just added to his hand, "Under the protection of [Beloved Hero], the monster equipped with it cannot be targeted by my effects. I was quite aware of this when I exchanged that card with you, but I am even more aware of the flaws of [Beloved Hero] as an Equipped Magic Card!"

"Just like now, I will release the [Divine Shaman of the Proclaimer] and [Silent Prayer - Reason] on my field, and Special Summon this monster from my Graveyard with its own effects!" With a wave of Asuka's hand, the two Angel-Type monsters on her field disappeared into the Graveyard together, but then a holy phantom rose from her Graveyard and quickly transformed into a physical entity.

"Angel of light who hides infinite power, awaken now with a flash and strike the enemy with that brilliance!"

"Special summons, level 9☆!"

"【Three Holy Rulers】!" (End of this chapter)
