Chapter 1777 Judai: As expected, I am the man who can turn the impossible into the possible!
Seeing that the number of monsters on "Amon"'s field had increased from four to five, Jaden looked at "Amon's" hand with a puzzled expression after the rain of light dissipated: "Did he use up all his cards?"

"Just now, when your [E·hero Shining Neoswingman] effect activated, I chained it to activate my back row face-down card, [Undying Struggle]. This card can change the ATK of one Zombie monster on the field by 1000 points. Rather than letting you destroy it like this, I'd rather use it to increase the ATK of my [Red-Eyes Undying Dragon Emperor] on the field."

[Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon Emperor] [ATK2800→3800]

After showing off the [Undead Struggle] which had already been banished due to its own effect, "Amon" paused, then raised the Duel Disk again, "And then there's the effect of [Giant Ghoul - Magella] in my hand: If a Zombie monster on my field is destroyed by battle or card effect, I can banish this card from my hand or graveyard instead."

"Then, if [Giant Ghoul - Magella] is banished from my hand or Graveyard, its second effect can be activated: Special Summon this card to my field in Defense Position, and I may choose to lower this card's Level by 1."

【Giant Ghoul - Mojera】【8☆/Land → 7☆/Land】

[Undead/Effect]

[2800/2300]

Thanks to the effect of [Giant Ghoul - Magella], "Amon" was able to prevent most of the monsters on his field from being wiped out by [E-Hero Shining Neoswing].

"3800 ATK? That's strong, but 'Amon,' my [E-Hero Shining Neos]'s ATK isn't bad either!" Jaden raised his Duel Disk and showed his Graveyard, "Each monster card in my Graveyard increases [E-Hero Shining Neos]'s ATK by 300. Guess how many cards are in my Graveyard right now?"

Nine cards in total! Jaden has a full nine monster cards in his graveyard right now! While that's about the same number of monster cards that Hayato's deck can hold, the greatest strength of E. Hero Shining Neos is that it doesn't need any specific monster attributes in the graveyard; any monster card can become its power!

Soaring, surging, surging! The attack power of [E·hero Shining New Universe Winged Warrior] has skyrocketed! What in the world can stop it?! What in the world can withstand it?!
【E·hero Flash New Universe】【ATK3100→5800】

"5800 attack power, which means that [Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon Emperor] can deal 2000 battle damage to me!? There's even the effect damage from destroying monsters and adding to the original attack power value of [Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon Emperor]!"

Seeing this terrifying attack power, which even surpassed the level of the Five Divine Dragons, "Amon's" breathing became somewhat heavy—but not the kind of heavy breathing caused by tension or fear, but rather the rapid breathing brought on by excitement.

Although it seems like he's going to lose the duel, isn't this exactly what he wanted? He wanted Jaden to kill him from the beginning so he could enjoy the pain/love Jaden gave him, and also gradually break Jaden's mental state. After all, killing a living being is the most effective way to influence someone like Jaden who admires heroes.

That's why he deliberately wasted his energy on those small fry, activating the darkness in their hearts so they would attack Judai, thus provoking him. Who would have thought that even though those small fry were thinking of attacking the people around Judai, he was still so restrained when he acted. He only taught those trash a lesson and that was it. He wasn't truly stirred up by the darkness in his heart at all.

Fortunately, after killing those few small fry, he finally made the most of them and squeezed out their last bit of value, which really angered Jaden, who was now about to kill him.

This is truly unparalleled joy! I'm so happy that the first time Judai killed someone and took a life, it was me. Isn't this proof of Judai's love for me?
After Jaden unleashed [E·Hero Shining Neoswingman], he couldn't help but think, "It wouldn't be bad to defeat him in one blow like this." After all, while "Amon" hoped for a change in Jaden's mindset, he didn't hold back at all during the duel, going all out from the start. Didn't you see that Jaden's Life Points were already at 350 points, literally "a candle flickering in the wind"?

Therefore, in his duel with "Amon," Jaden didn't hold back at all; he could only go all out to defeat his opponent and seize victory. And now that victory was within his grasp, he simply—

"Don't fall into darkness, Judai!"

Suddenly, Jaden heard a familiar voice behind him. Fubuki walked out from where she had been hiding and watching, and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of Jaden and "Amon". Even O'Brien next to her looked at Fubuki with a surprised look, as if to say, "What's going on with this person?"

However, Fubuki's face was very serious: "I can see what you were thinking just now, Judai. But, never fall into darkness like me, Judai!"

"Fubuki? When did she arrive?" Jaden blinked, the slight killing intent that had just welled up in his heart fading away. "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm just sharing my experience with you as someone who's been there. Once you fall into darkness, it's very difficult to turn back," Fubuki said earnestly. "Don't let temporary gloom cloud your mind, and don't so easily abandon what you've always held onto, Judai!"

"Tch, you nosy, talkative fellow! Who gave you permission to interfere in my conversation with Judai!" Seeing that Judai's dark side, which had been stirred up by Fubuki's words, vanished in an instant, "Amon" felt extremely angry, like smelling a scent that wasn't his after taking in a blanket that had been airing all day!
"boom!"

Although the duel was still ongoing, and it was still Jaden's turn, "Amon" commanded his [Sword God - Shiranui] to attack Tenjouin Fubuki in the distance. However, the former's slash was intercepted in mid-air by Jaden's [E·hero Flashy New Universe Wingman].

"I won't let you hurt anyone in front of me again!" Judai was terrified that he had so easily had the thought of taking someone's life. He was surprised that it came from his own heart, and he was certain that it was not a suggestion or mental interference from any supernatural power released by "Amon". It seemed to be a thought that arose naturally from the bottom of his heart.

Thanks to Fubuki's timely interruption, I was prevented from easily putting my thoughts into practice and doing something irreversible.

"What was that look, Judai?" Seeing the change in Judai's eyes, "Amon" was a little anxious. "I clearly saw it just now, I saw your hatred and love for me. At that time, you only had my image in your eyes. Why did that pure look disappear just now? Was it because of what that man said?"

"Don't look at me like that, remembering other people! It's me in front of you, why can't you just look at me?!" His expression was incredibly dark, and "Amon" gritted his teeth. "Give back the love that belongs only to me!"

"I will still defeat you without mercy, 'Amon'." Looking at the boy in front of him, Judai calmed himself down. Fubuki's words were like a stimulant, bringing his heart back from the brink of darkness. "But not with the murderous intent you lured out, but with the anger of avenging others and the determination to take Amon Garlem back from you!"

"Do you think you can do something like that just because you want to, Judai?" Grabbing his shirt, "Amon" smirked. "I told you, didn't I? This man's heart is filled with a deep darkness, and that's what allows me to control my body so freely. The only way to break free from my control over him, besides making me give up willingly, is to eradicate that darkness from his heart!"

"But humanity is human precisely because light and darkness coexist within us. The human heart is not purely mechanical; a heart without darkness cannot exist, for where there is light, darkness will be born, just as your revered 'hero' abandoned me and cast me into a cold, dark world." "A heart without darkness loses its light. The only way you can sever the endless stream of darkness within him is to take his life, hahahaha!"

With arms outstretched, "Amon" laughed maniacally as he awaited Judai's attack with [E·hero Flash Neo-Winged Man], offering no resistance whatsoever.

Upon hearing Amon's words, Jaden calmly replied, "That sounds like an impossible miracle? But if it were me, if it were my [Hero], if it were what Master Daitokuji said about my [fusion]..."

With a sharp look in his eyes, Judai played a card: "If it were me, I could do it, because Master Daitokuji said that my fusion technique is highly similar to alchemy and can create miracles. And to make the impossible possible is a 'miracle.' In other words—I am the one who can turn the impossible into the possible!"

"Under the effect of the previous [Water Bubble Illusion], I can activate a Trap Card directly from my hand, and the card I'm going to activate is this one: the Trap Card [Wisdom Stone Alchemist]!"

"I can banish a total of four [Hero] monsters from my Graveyard and field. Then, I can target a single [Hero] monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it to my field, ignoring its Summoning conditions! I will banish the following four monsters from my Graveyard: [E·Hero Bubble Man], [E·Hero Sky Man], [E·Hero Solid Man], and [M·Hero Hearthfire]!"

"Earth, water, fire, and wind—the four elements of heaven can turn stone into gold!"

【E·hero Flash New Universe】【ATK5800→4900】

The attack power of [E·hero Shiny Neos] on the field of the tenth generation decreases as the number of monsters in his graveyard decreases, but there is a huge amount of elemental energy gathering in his graveyard. The four elements seem to be reenacting the creation of the world, combining the concepts of "dry", "wet", "hot" and "cold" to form a magnificent sword that looks colorless but also seems to contain all the colors in the world!

Behind the giant sword floating in the air, from the grave of the Tenth Generation, the dark side of justice in the universe—[E·hero Neos]—appears!
【E·hero New Universe】【ATK2500】

"It's [E·Hero Neos] again. Do you really like those heroes that much, Jaden!" Looking at [E·Hero Neos] reappearing on Jaden's field, "Amon" didn't seem to care much. "You went so far as to lower the attack power of [E·Hero Shining Neos], but in the end you only summoned a monster with an attack power of 2500. What can a monster like that do?"

"I said I would turn the impossible into the possible!" Jaden made a gesture of grasping the sword with a serious expression, and in sync with Jaden's action, [E·hero Neos] also raised his hand and grasped the greatsword in front of him.

The light weight made it feel like holding a willow branch, but the simple act of raising the blade perpendicular to the ground overhead created a gust of wind on the field. To Amon's astonishment, the attack power of [E·hero Neo-Universe] surged!
【E·hero New Universe】【ATK2500→5000】

"When I gather the four attributes of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind from the [Hero] monsters banished because of [The Alchemist of the Wise Stone], the fifth element—Aether—will be born here. This is the 'Wise Stone Aether Sword'!" Jaden shouted, raising an invisible sword. "[E·Hero Neos]'s ATK will be boosted, doubling its original ATK, and it will also negate the effects of all face-up cards on the opponent's field!"

"Varied--!?"

Amidst Amon's astonished expression, the "Sage Stone Aether Sword" in [E·hero Neos]'s hand shone with colorful light, and endless magical power from a parallel world surged forth, emptying or even sealing all other energies on the field. The effects of his five monsters on the field were simultaneously nullified!

"But in the end, you're just another high-attack monster. All you ever did was give me pain and love, didn't you?"

Faced with "Amon's" counter-question, Jaden denied it, saying, "No, the power of [E·Hero Neos] is different. It's [E·Hero Neos] who obtained the 'Kenshi Aether Sword'. I'll say it one last time, I'm going to make the impossible possible, 'Amon'!"

"Enter the battle phase! Use [E·Hero Neos] to attack [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon]!"

【E·hero Neos】simply raised his greatsword and slashed down at his target, but at the very moment the "Sage Stone Aether Sword" made contact with 【Red-Eyes Undead Dragon】, Jaden and "Amon" saw black lightning erupt from the point where the sword and the black dragon's body made contact, and an invisible current flashed and "passed" through Jaden and "Amon's" temples.

Uncontrollably, their consciousnesses were drawn together into a suddenly unfolding space of consciousness.

In what Fubuki and O'Brien's eyes was less than a second later, both "Amon" and Jaden suddenly took two or three steps back, as if they had been shocked. Jaden had an expression of surprise on his face and muttered something like, "So this is the shadow in Amon's heart, 'the darkness of the Gallamy family'?"

"Amon" was even worse off, looking like he had a headache, raising his hand to cover his head, while angrily looking up at [E·hero Neo-Universe] who had just started fighting in the air: "What a disgusting guy, don't trespass into other people's heads!"

"The one who should be saying that is me!" As if experiencing a split personality, "Amon" spoke again, but his tone was completely different from before. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, the group instantly realized that the person speaking now was Amon—not the energy life form using "Amon's" body, but the consciousness of "Amon Garlem" himself!

"Impossible! How could your consciousness resurface? I clearly covered your mind with the darkness within you!?" The sudden change seemed to be beyond "Amon's comprehension. To make matters worse, "he" discovered that he had suddenly lost all feeling in his body.
—No, to be precise, as he moved, Amon Garlem's body became out of sync with his consciousness. His arm remained in its original position, while his own golden, translucent arm made of energy detached from it!

A more accurate way to put it seems to be that I am being excluded?!

"What on earth happened, Judai!" "Amon," whose face was half-detached from Amon's body and who had lost control of it, stared at Judai and the [E·hero Neos] in mid-air. "You and [E·hero Neos], what did you do?!"

"What did I do? I accomplished the 'miracle' you spoke of as impossible—using the power of the 'Sage Stone Aether Sword,' I found the darkness within Amon's heart and then severed it!" the Tenth Proxy said matter-of-factly. "Indeed, fusion is the power that can turn the impossible into the possible!"

"I can no longer control Amon's body. Now I can unleash my full power to destroy you, 'Amon'!"
