Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Activate the magic card [Masked Transformation Type 2]!"

Even Caesar showed a somewhat surprised expression on his face: "【Masked Transformation. Type 2】?"

"Lesson1, don't have any strange expectations of me;"

"Lesson 2, don't let the card notice;"

"Lesson 3, trust the deck, just trust it."

Judai said as he held up three fingers. "These are the first few lessons that Mr. Hayato taught in his class. I learned them before the duel with you, Caesar. And just now, through the duel with you, Caesar, I realized the fourth lesson - Lesson 4. Show respect, show respect, and then move on to another new stage of duel."

"Whether it's the 'Hungerer' or the 'Responder', my Heroes and I have not yet been defeated by you, Caesar. Let's use this new 'Mask Transformation Type 2' to raise new hope!"

"You can activate this by discarding 1 card from your hand and targeting a face-up monster on my field. Send the target monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [M·hero] monster with a higher Level than that monster and the same Attributes from my Fusion Deck as [Masquerade Change]!"

After discarding a card, several helmets of [M·hero] monsters with different attributes appeared in front of Judai. Two helmets representing wind attribute lit up, indicating Judai's choice, "The monster I choose is - the wind attribute [Cotton Token] on my field!"

"They actually gave me the derivatives?!" Caesar's expression turned into surprise, "It's no longer limited to Hero monsters?"

"It doesn't matter whether the person under the mask is a warrior or a devil. As long as they have a heart of justice, anyone can become a hero!" Judai responded to Caesar with a smile and waved his hand, "Form-Change! Cyclone!"

"Black haze rolls, green wind rolls! Gain the will of steel and the speed of light, and evolve!"

"Level 6☆!"

  In the midst of the strong wind, Judai raised the card in his hand and called out the name of the card.

"[M.hero Gust]!"

The black battle suit was inlaid with dark green armor and light green color separation, which made the overall look not too monotonous. The wind-like hero also had a red scarf around his neck, with the extra ends fluttering in the wind. No one could tell that he was actually transformed from the weak [cotton wool derivative] just now.

[M·hero Gust][6☆/Wind]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

【2200/1800→2800/1800】

Although a new monster was Special Summoned, because [M·hero Gust] is a wind-attribute monster transformed from [Cottonwood Derivative], the attack power bonus provided by [E·hero Sunrise] remains 600 points without change, increasing the attack power of [M·hero Gust] to 2800 points.

Although this level of attack power is already very good in an ordinary duel, after all, it is very close to the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], but compared to the [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] with an attack power of up to 5600 points, it is still far behind and is only half of the opponent.

However, the Tenth Generation had no intention of letting [M·hero Gust], which had a low basic attack power, confront [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] head-on, but wanted to use its effect.

"When [M. Hero Gust] is Special Summoned successfully, it can be activated by targeting a face-up monster on the opponent's field, and the attack power of that monster is halved." Judai pointed to one of the two attack monsters on Caesar's field - [Cyber ​​Dragon] and said, "The target I chose is, [Cyber ​​Dragon]!"

"Cyclone! Maximum Drive!"

The howling wind blew up from Judai's field and swept towards Caesar's field. The [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon], which was not affected by the opponent's activation effect, was naturally not chosen as a target by Judai. He targeted the weakest point on Caesar's field - the [Cyber ​​Dragon] with a "weak" attack power of 2100 points.

"Yes, although it is difficult to defeat [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon], big brother can deal a lot of damage in one go by targeting [Cyber ​​Dragon]!" Seeing Judai's operation, Marufuji Sho said excitedly, "After all, Duel Monsters is also a game of reducing the opponent's basic points. As long as we can find a way to deal more than 4000 points of battle damage in the battle with [Cyber ​​Dragon], we can still defeat Caesar!"

"Compared to a head-on confrontation with the [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] with an attack power of 5600 points, the [Cyber ​​Dragon] with its attack power halved is simply the best breakthrough point." Asuka also said happily, "Under the effect of [M·hero Gust], the effect of the Cyber ​​Dragon will only be 1050 points!"

Seeing that Caesar did not chain the effect of [M·Hero Gust] to activate the card on his back field, Judai continued: "It's not over yet. [M·Hero Gust] has more than one effect. Once during both turns, I pay 500 Life Points and activate the second effect of [M·Hero Gust] targeting a Magic·Trap card on the opponent's field, returning that card to the opponent's hand."

"The one I chose is the covered card in your backcourt, Caesar!" Judai said, locking onto one of the few cards in Caesar's backcourt.

[Yujo Judai: 3800 → 3300 LP, 4 cards in hand]

Caesar glanced at the face-up card on his backfield: "Do you want to deal with the face-up card on my backfield first? But Judai, you can return this card to your hand, and I can naturally chain your effect to activate this face-up card of mine!"

"Trap Card [Electromagnetic Railgun]! Release a Machine-Type monster on my field, and target up to one card on the field per 1000 points of the released monster's original ATK, and destroy those cards."

Caesar took the Cyber ​​Dragon card off the field and crushed it, then sneered, "The one I want to release is naturally the Cyber ​​Dragon. Not to mention that the effect of your M. Hero Gust will take effect if it is not your turn to Special Summon in the chain, even if it does, the attack power judged by the Railgun will be based on the original attack power."

The gale swept across Caesar's field, but failed to capture the [Cyber ​​Dragon] that was stuffed into the [Electromagnetic Railgun] first. Instead, the [Cyber ​​Dragon] that was disassembled into two shells began to reversely lock onto the cards on the Tenth Generation's field.

  The target is none other than [E·hero Sunrise] and [M·hero Jinfeng] on the tenth generation field!

"The original attack power of [Cyber ​​Dragon] is 2100 points, so I can target up to two cards to destroy them. The monsters I chose are [E·hero Sunrise] and [M·hero Gust of Wind]!" [M·hero Gust of Wind], which had just appeared for only a few seconds, was defeated at the speed of light, and along with [E·hero Sunrise] on the Judai field, the two monsters were smashed and destroyed by the [Electromagnetic Railgun] and sent to the graveyard, causing the attack power of the monsters on the Judai field to plummet.

[Yucheng Tenth Generation: 3300LP, 4 cards in hand]

[E.hero Absolute Zero] [ATK3100→2500]

[Cotton Wool Derivative] [600/0→0/0]

After consuming two cards in hand and paying 500 basic points, what Caesar got in return was the disappearance of the "breakthrough point" on the field and the consumption of a cover card, but the most threatening [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] on Caesar's field still exists.

Even though the [Armored Cyber ​​Wing] on Caesar's field cannot be re-equipped as an Equip Card to [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon], which is neither a [Cyber ​​Dragon] nor a fusion material with [Cyber ​​Dragon], during Caesar's next turn, it can still use its own effect to seize a monster from both teams' graveyards as its own Equip Card, and once again gain the ability to attack twice during a Battle Phase.

"Yada thief!"

The sudden voice startled the others who were worried about Judai, and they looked at Judai who suddenly laughed for some reason. Only Manjo's eyes looked at him with an expression of "as expected".

"Even though he stayed in the Red Dormitory for a year, he didn't become an idiot. Judai, that jellyfish-head." Manjomu had a look of understanding. "He used both effects of [M·hero Gust] in succession. His original intention was not to use [Cyber ​​Dragon] as a breakthrough point, but to cover up something. So-called 'openly repairing the plank road, secretly crossing Chencang'? Anyway, that's probably what he meant."

"It's good to succeed, and we can get rid of Caesar's cover card in the backfield, but even so, Judai probably didn't even think about using [Cyber ​​Dragon] as a breakthrough to avoid fighting [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon], right?"

"Eh!? There is a shortcut to victory, but you insist on taking the long way?" After Maruto Sho said this, he was also stunned, "Wait, I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere before."

"Lesson 5, Lesson 5. Principal Hayato talked about this in class, Lesson 5." Fubuki looked at Judai on the field with interest. "Even if Judai himself hasn't fully understood it, there is no doubt that he has grasped Lesson 5 that Principal Hayato talked about - 'Taking a shortcut is taking a long detour, and taking a long detour is the shortest shortcut.'"

"Even though he has Lava Golem in his deck and can use Caesar's weakest point, Cyber ​​Dragon, as a breakthrough point, Judai is taking a path that is not the shortest shortcut, but the path of glory that he is most familiar with!" Daitokuji opened his eyes excitedly, as if he wanted to imprint the following scenes into his memory. "This is actively 'moving towards the harsh path'!"

"Towards a harsh path?" Judai heard the voice from the audience. He didn't turn around, but just glanced at the card in his hand and smiled.

That sounds like it may be difficult, but I want to walk on this route that belongs only to me and [Hero]. On this route, nothing can hinder us, just like the perfect spin that unfolds when [Fusion] is activated. On this route, only me and [Hero] are familiar with everything.

So - rush into the light!

"[M·hero Gust], [M·hero Light Fang], there are already two [M·hero] monsters in my graveyard. This is really the first time ever. As expected of Caesar, this is an unprecedented hard battle."

Judai selected a card in front of him and played the card with the power of "miracle" that Caesar had seen once in this duel, "Starting from [E·hero Earth Core Man], to [E·hero Sunrise Man], and then just now [M·hero Light Fang], [E·hero Sunrise Man] and [M·hero Wind], they died one after another."

"The efforts of the [Hero] I believe in are not all in vain! The power they left behind will bloom with a new light under this miraculous power!" After a pause, Judai activated the card seriously, "Awaken - a new [Hero]!"

"Activate the magic card [Miracle Fusion]! I banish monsters from my field and graveyard as fusion materials, and Fusion Summon a fusion monster with [E-hero] from my fusion deck!"

"And the fusion materials I chose are - [M·hero Gust] and [M·hero Light Fang]!"

"The wind attribute [M·hero Gust] and the light attribute [M·hero Light Fang]?" Caesar frowned. "It's not that the two [M·hero] monsters of [E·hero] can't meet the fusion material requirements of [E·hero Great Tornado] or [E·hero Shining Man]. Do you want to fuse and summon a second [E·hero Sunrise Man]?"

"No, release your imagination, Caesar, I've already told you, it's a 'new [Hero]'." Judai looked at [M·hero Gust] and [M·hero Light Fang] that appeared in front of him in the form of phantoms. The golden light and the green gale began to blend, the light transformed into pure white, and the storm was brewing a deep black. "It's not 'Elemental·hero', nor is it 'Masked·hero', but 'Contrast·hero'!"

"Comparison hero, contrast hero?" Caesar's English is very good, but he is still a little confused. "But Judai, the power of [Miracle Fusion] can only be used to Fusion Summon [E-hero]'s Fusion Monster."

"That's true, but the 'Contrast Hero' that I'm going to Fusion Summon is also considered an 'E Hero' according to the rules."

Judai said, holding up the card of [Miracle Fusion] that had accumulated enough power, and shouted, "[M·hero Gust of Wind]-san, [M·hero Light Fang]-san! Lend me your power!"

“The fusion material requires two monsters of [M·hero], one hero walks in darkness, and the other hero serves light. The sacred guardian light and the pure darkness of the night have now merged with each other to become a new hero of love and justice!”

"Opposites blend, reaching their peak! Fusion Summon, Level 9☆!"

"Come out! The hero of the opposite side—"

On the left, there is a shining silver-white body, with strong muscles containing abundant power, ready to strike back at evil at any time;

  On the right, there is a pitch-black armor with sharp blades. The wild and violent fighting style is to kill all the evil in the dark night.

The ribbons of the two scarves, one black and one white, move in the wind. The hero with a black and white body has inherited the power of his sacrificed companions. At the call of "miracle", he has come to the Judai field. The red and blue flames of fighting spirit are burning behind him. He can't wait to fight with the powerful enemy on Caesar's field - [Armored Emperor Dragon-Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon], just like Judai can't wait to decide the outcome with Caesar!

his name is--

"——【C·hero Chaos Man】!" (End of this chapter)
