Chapter 1800 Kobayashi Hayato? Amuro Ray!
Yubel's plan went smoothly, successfully drawing the attention of most people in the academy to the elves she had managed to attract.

From the start of the plan to the receipt of results, she hasn't spent much time (referring to Chapter Sixteen). Although the quality of the elves she has gathered is not top-notch, she feels it is enough. If there were more, she might not have enough time.

If Hayato Kobayashi and his friends were given enough time to find a way to escape this world, Yubel would really be at a huge loss. A combat power like [True Demonic Beast - Gazette] would be enough to restrain most of the students in the Duel Academy—at least Yubel thought it would be enough.

However, just as she was flying in the air, admiring the massive battle between the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] and the [True Demon Beast - Gazette] that seemed like something out of a tokusatsu movie, a series of blood-red needles suddenly rained down on her. Frowning, [Yubel Phantom] dodged the attack and looked at the location of the attacker.

"A golden energy life form, materialized into a deformed left hand covered in scales. You bastard, are you the culprit who brought everyone to this world? What a truly evil creature, inside and out."

Unlike Caesar, who was interested in John's "Jewel Beast," Edward did not attend Hayato's additional "Spirit Coexistence Course." Instead, after learning that while the academy had enough patrol personnel, it lacked leaders capable of decisively defeating powerful enemies, he volunteered to join the campus patrol team.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, and Edward is a perfect example of that. He may seem like a reserved and elegant nobleman, but he's actually quite lively and active. He's not only good at extreme sports like skydiving, skiing, and surfing, but he's also an outgoing and passionate hero enthusiast—even though he's a dark-themed [D·hero], he's still a [Hero].

After the "beast tide" of card spirits led by [True Monster - Gazette] appeared, Edward initially thought of helping Professor Chronos and working together to defeat him, but his sharp mind suddenly realized that it was very abnormal for these spirits to gather together and attack Duel Academy.

He suspected that there must be some force behind this anomaly that led to "everyone's attention being focused on the 'beast tide'", so although he rushed out of the cover with the others, he did not join the battle immediately after summoning his [D·hero Doctrine], but instead searched around.

If no suspicious entities were found on the ground, then let's check the air. If there's still nothing there, perhaps we can find some clues in the direction the beast tide came from. Fortunately, in the "air," Edward already found a very suspicious person—a strange guy flying not far from [True Demonic Beast - Gazette], watching the battles of other cards, but like himself, not joining any battles.

Although Edward wasn't present when Yubel carried out the "Great Transfer" and was merely caught up in the world of spirits, the members of Duel Academy weren't the kind of people who, despite their fathers being scammed out of 168 billion yen and having to work to earn tuition and stop playing in the band, refused to tell the truth and instead blamed others for needing more practice when leaving the team. They had information that Jaden and the others had already exchanged with Edward and the others.

Because Yubel was still in the form of [Yubel Phantom], Ed immediately recognized her based on her features and launched a sneak attack, but Yubel, being too perceptive, dodged it.

Upon hearing Edward's words, Yubel glanced at [D·hero Blood Demon-D], who, although no longer possessed that special aura, still retained traces of being possessed by the "Light of Annihilation" in the past, before responding to Edward: "And you, Edward Phoenix, do you consider yourself some kind of hero? You just shamelessly ambushed me once."

"You know me? But that's not important. Hayato-sensei said that although greeting is a duelist's etiquette, duelists can launch a sneak attack before greeting, and that this is also recorded in the Kojiki." After a pause, Edward casually remarked, "But I don't really think that book, which I have no interest in flipping through, contains such nonsense."

"Leaving aside the ambush, what kind of hero am I? I won't answer that question, because I never care about other people's definitions of 'hero.' I just need to do what a 'hero' should do in my heart." Staring at [Yuber] in front of him, Edward said, "For example, since you were able to capture everyone here and transfer everyone to this world, you must also have a way to bring everyone back to their original world, right?"

"So you're even willing to just stand by and watch your comrades get hurt?" Yubel, completely oblivious to being targeted by Edward, wore a relaxed expression. He pointed to the desert below, where Card Spirits and Duel Monsters were already engaged in battle, and some Duel Academy students were injured in the fierce fighting. "What a cold-blooded 'hero'~"

"This is a necessary sacrifice—that's what Hayato-sensei would say to you, right? But my answer would be: I have faith in the students of the academy. Not only in the students below who willingly joined this most dangerous close-quarters battle, but also in the students behind!"

While it appeared to be just a conversation, Edward had actually been secretly preparing a card. Once he finished preparing and the conversation had reached a point where they had nothing more to say, he suddenly unleashed the card: "[D·hero Destroy the Phoenix]! Let's all attack together!"

As John finished speaking, the students who remained behind the bunker had completed their summoning of their respective monsters. Although some monsters without special abilities, like the Silver Chariot, could not join the battle because there was still a certain distance between the front line and the final line of defense, many monsters of the mage race, demon race, and machine race were able to provide long-range fire support.

Lightning, fireballs, and ray attacks landed on the front lines after a brief delay, instantly suppressing the card sprites' offensive. This relieved the students' fighting pressure and created numerous opportunities for counterattacks. Thanks to this timely rear support, the students seized the chance to fight back and gradually expanded their advantage, eventually holding off the card sprites' attacks and no longer being suppressed.

In the air, [D·hero Blood Demon-D] and [D·hero Destroyer Phoenix] attacked from two directions simultaneously, restricting [Yubel Phantom]'s escape route and intending to shoot it down.

Even the True Demonic Beast - Gazette was staggered by the most powerful attacks from the support provided from the rear, and its struggle with Professor Chronos's Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant was no longer a stalemate, and it was somewhat at a disadvantage.

"Impossible! A mere reptile could actually hurt me!?" Seeing the situation was not good, [True Demonic Beast - Gazette] hurriedly used its wings to take off, taking advantage of the fact that [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] couldn't fly like a certain red behemoth that could wield the Cliff-Shattering Sword, and chose to catch its breath in the air.

"Troublesome guys, I'll take you out first, Demonic Flame—" With its gaze sweeping towards the direction from which the attack had just come, [True Demonic Beast - Gazette] was about to unleash a ranged attack from the bone armor on its chest, but it was blocked by two cannon shots fired from below by [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant].

"Although the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] can't fly, don't think we can't hit you just because you're airborne!" Because the battle on the ground was too chaotic, Professor Chronos moved to the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] after the battle began, sitting in the spherical cockpit in its abdomen and piloting the robot like a pilot. The bombardment that just blasted down [True Demonic Beast - Gazette] was even aimed manually by him, using the cannons on the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant's] arms. "How about that? The power of my Mega Particle Cannon!"

As they spoke, the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant was about to continue firing under Professor Chronos's control, while the True Demonic Beast Gazette wanted to retaliate, but having just been shot down, it couldn't even maintain its posture in mid-air, and it looked like it was about to be struck again by the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant, which had anticipated its advance!

Just then, a sharp sword suddenly flew in and blocked the path between the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant and the True Demonic Beast Gazette, cutting through the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant's barrage!
Some of the severed artillery fire flew into the sky, narrowly missing Ed and [Yubel Phantom], who were locked in combat, while the rest landed on the ground, the explosions kicking up towering dust and wounding countless collateral damage soldiers.

Raising the giant sword that he had transformed from the bone armor on his chest, a second, colossal demon appeared, bearing a striking resemblance to the Great Beast Gazette, except that the bone armor had turned gold and it possessed wings that resembled a cape when folded. It looked at the True Beast Gazette and said, "You dared to sneak away, True Beast Gazette, you bastard!"

"【Beast Emperor - Gazette】!" Looking at the being with the same name as himself, 【True Beast - Gazette】 said with a hint of displeasure, "Tch, you saved my life."

Just as the True Demon Beast Gazette and its original form, Synthetic Demon Beast Gazette, were based on the two classic super robots, "Mazinger Z" and "True Demon Beast Z," the Demon Beast Emperor Gazette, which evolved from the Great Demon Beast Gazette (based on the Great Demon Beast), also had a super robot as its prototype: the successor to the Great Demon Beast, "Mazinger Emperor G."

The prototype mecha "Mazinger Z" and "Great Mazinger" have an extremely complex relationship. Similarly, [Beast Emperor Gazette] and [True Beast Gazette] are also acquainted. Although the latter's attack on Duel Academy was a sneak attack under the instigation of [Yubel Phantom], it was obviously not kept secret from [Beast Emperor Gazette].

"This is the last time." With a casual remark, he forgave his companion's sneaking away. [Beast Emperor - Gazette]'s claws swept across his sword, his eyes filled with bloodlust as he looked at the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant]. "Now, let's hunt these reptiles!"

"Mommy, Mommy!" Professor Chronos swallowed hard. Although he had just managed to suppress [True Monster - Gazette] with the firepower support from Coach Napoleon and the others, being able to suppress one enemy did not mean that he could hold his own against two. This was bad.

Almost without giving Professor Chronos time to consider a countermeasure, [True Demonic Beast - Gazette] charged out, as if retaliating against Professor Chronos's earlier attack, thrusting both of its fists forward. Its elbows snapped off, exposing the bone, and its two broken fists were flung out, spewing out large amounts of flames from the broken surfaces to accelerate it!?

"Spinning Explosive Flying Fist!"

"Whoa! I managed to dodge the attack!" He quickly maneuvered his mech to avoid the attack, but in that short time, [Beast Emperor - Gazette] had already taken cover under the cover of his teammates and hid in the blind spot of the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant]'s main monitor, rapidly closing in on Professor Chronos!

The emperor's sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light; being struck by it would be no laughing matter!

"I won't let you shoot it down!" Although it was his first time piloting it, Professor Chronos hadn't wasted his years of experience using the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant. He instantly switched to the other monitors on the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant.

—Although not very conspicuous, the shoulders, feet, arms, and even torso of the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] retain the eyes of the [Ancient Mechanical Hound] as monitors, and the observation angle is actually very large. It can even be said that even if the main monitor on the head is destroyed, Professor Chronos can calmly shout "Broken, the monitor is gone."

The cannons on both arms switched to mechanical clamps, and the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] twisted his upper body behind his back in a bizarre posture using the pivot of his waist, precisely clamping down on the giant sword that [Beast Emperor - Gazette] was slashing with his bare hands!

"Hmph, close combat is to my advantage, huh!" Just as Professor Chronos was about to gloat, he was stunned speechless by the massive impact from the machine. Although the [True Demonic Beast - Gazette], with its severed arms, was slowly regenerating its hands, its legs were perfectly fine. Taking advantage of [Demon Beast Emperor - Gazette] drawing attention, it delivered a "Gazette Flying Kick" to the chest of the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant]!

Even after being kicked and losing control of his arms, [Beast Emperor - Gazette] used his freed greatsword to execute a V-shaped slash, severing the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant's] arms and waist, turning him into a "human stick"!
"Hmph, my 'MAV tactic' with [Monster Emperor - Gazette] is invincible!" [True Monster - Gazette] laughed arrogantly after rendering [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] powerless.

Meanwhile, the Warcraft Emperor Gazette planned to take advantage of the temporary lack of assistance to eliminate the Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant: "I'll use this Emperor's Sword to cut off your head!"

Having no experience fighting against the mechanical race, it seemed to think that cutting off the head of the [Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant] would mean certain death, but before it could even raise its sword, a voice was suddenly heard by both of the enormous demons at the same time.

"MAV tactics? What kind of weird stuff is that?" Hayato casually placed a card on the duel disk. "When I wasn't around, you bunch of wild dogs were pretty arrogant, weren't you?"

The trembling desert was like a sleeping behemoth being awakened, its open mouth transforming into a massive rift that precisely separated the students of the Duel Academy from the wild Card Spirits. A contradictory existence, as radiant as the sun and as dark as the moon, revealed its serpentine form.

More majestic than the gods, more evil than the devils, the power of creation and destruction were respectively held in its arms. It seemed to be a colossal being that controlled the survival and destruction of the world. After being freed from the constraints of dueling, the scale it displayed even surpassed that of [Monster Emperor - Gazette] and others. It looked down on the living beings on the ground from high above!
