Chapter 1907: Speculation about why Yubel's illustrations often fail to pass censorship (not really)
(There's a picture of Sister You here, but it keeps getting blocked by the review committee. Sister You is just too much of a supermodel.)

As "you" saw the familiar face appear before him, Jaden's pupils contracted. He, who had been thought by Jim and O'Brien to be devoid of emotion, actually showed a very obvious change in emotion when facing Yubel.

Yubel looked at Jaden, a miserable smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "What? He actually makes that face after seeing me? If only he'd make that face when he sees me in my true form... but it's this guy."

After discovering Jim and O'Brien, Yubel followed them and infiltrated the Overlord City. Thanks to her excellent stealth skills, she was never discovered by Jim and his men or the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Overlord Army".

Naturally, she watched the duel between Jaden, now transformed into the Overlord, and Jim. Having found Jaden, she lost interest in Jim and O'Brien and instead followed Jaden all the way to the top floor of the Overlord Castle, where she openly revealed herself.

However, she didn't abandon the body of John that she had finally managed to take over, and still appeared before Judai in John's appearance. On one hand, she was excited by the special expression Judai showed her, but on the other hand, she was very unhappy that the object of Judai's emotions was John.

"What, do you want me to wear this face and make you worry about 'John Anderson's' safety, Judai?" Yubel touched his face, raised his index finger and poked his cheek, "After all, you should have returned to this world for this person, right? Such an enviable persistence, when that kind of love should belong to me."

"Honestly, you came too early. I had just finished setting up the stage for this world and hadn't even had time to come up with the best script for us when I discovered that you guys had already been wandering around backstage and revealed all my preparations. Now I don't have any surprises to give you."

"But, conversely, you gave me a special gift, Jaden!" Yubel opened her arms wide, her face full of surprise. "Look at you now, it's as if you've been reborn according to my wishes, abandoning all your bonds except for me. You must have become this cruel person because of me, right?"

"That's absolutely right, that's how it should be, Jaden. With your power, you should use it like a king. If you had shown your current form earlier, would there have been any need to send me into space? We should have become the best duo in the world long ago!"

However, Yubel's long speech caused the slight change in emotion that had finally appeared on Jaden's face to vanish again, and he regained his indifferent expression, his voice cold: "I am not interested in your power, Yubel. I am only interested in the power that I control, and you are clearly not the type who would be willing to give yourself to me completely."

“How could that be! I love you deeply, Judai!” Yubel said earnestly, clutching her chest with one hand. “Not to mention this body and soul, I would gladly give you the love that you had already reserved for me, and I would also be willing to help you conquer this world—after all, this was originally prepared for you.”

"Why do you resist my love, Judai?"

However, even though Yubel said that, Jaden remained unmoved. He did not intend to accept Yubel's power in the same way he accepted the original "King Army". Instead, he questioned, "Then, what is your love, Yubel?"

“Pain, despair, hatred, sorrow, doubt, resentment.” Yubel spoke of his understanding of “love” with an air of self-righteousness, a sinister smile spreading across his face, yet his voice remained tender. “Isn’t this what you, Jaden, taught me? Your love for me is like this, so of course I must love you in the same way, because we have an intertwined destiny that can never be severed. I can’t wait to entrust this love to you!”

"Isn't this world, filled with cruel fate, the perfect stage for us to share 'love'? Killing and tormenting each other, yet neither of us can leave—don't you think this fate, which continues forever, is incredibly romantic, Jaden?"

Jaden was not surprised by Yubel's answer. Although he had changed a lot since then, he had not suffered from amnesia. So he remembered what E·hero Neos had said to him when he met Yubel during their duel not long ago.

Yubel appears to be a "yandere" who is full of love for him, as if being with her would satisfy her. However, Yubel's mind was destroyed in the past. The loneliness and coldness of space tore her thoughts apart, and then the evil thoughts overflowing in the "Light of Destruction" glued her fragmented mind back together. She can still think normally, but in reality, her mind is in complete chaos.

Like a chocolate popsicle that has completely melted and then refrozen, even though it still has the same original ingredients, it has been completely "corrupted" - especially since Yubel's essence has also changed. She accepted the power left behind by the "Light of Destruction" far away from Earth and became a powerful and insane madwoman.

Just like those beings in the Fate universe who claim "I love humanity" and can easily trigger PTSD in others, making people question them about "defining what love is" or "what humanity is in your eyes," Yubel is still obsessed with Jaden and her love for him, but her understanding of "love" has long been distorted, and even her definition of "love" and "Jaden" has become deformed.

Jaden had no interest in correcting Yubel's thoughts. Even when he saw John, whom he thought he had lost, appear in a state controlled by Yubel, he felt nothing. The emotional fluctuation he had just experienced was not enough to break through the darkness in his heart. He simply said coldly, "In other words, your power will stand against me and become an obstacle to my domination."

"So—I'll eliminate you here beforehand."

"Clang!"

In a split second, without either Jaden or Yubel making any other move, including pulling out their cards, a loud metallic clang rang out between them. In that instant, Jaden's [E-hero Extreme Evil Blade] and Yubel's [Undead Torture Giant] clashed, their two pairs of metallic claws meeting, neither able to defeat the other.

"Hehe, hahahaha, that's exactly right, Jaden! I like you even more when you show your true self!" Seeing Jaden try to summon a monster to attack him, Yubel wasn't angry at all, but rather delighted. "Without those boring 'heroic' thoughts holding you back, this Jaden really pleases me!"

"Come on, let's torture each other and inflict even greater pain on each other!" Yubel raised his left arm, and a Duel Disk appeared in his hand, while the Duel Disk on Jaden's left arm also unfolded on its own.

They looked at each other and shouted simultaneously, "Duel!" x2
[Tenth Generation Overlord: 4000LP, Hand: 5]

[John/Yubel: 4000LP, Hand: 5]

“I prefer to be more passive, so you can take the first turn if you need it, Jaden.” Yubel glanced at the card in his hand, but instead of taking the first turn, he gestured for Jaden to go first.

The Supreme King didn't stand on ceremony and drew the card from the top of his deck without hesitation, saying, "Then the first move is mine. It's my turn. Draw a card."

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell Card [Future Fusion], and send the Fusion Material Monsters required to create a Fusion Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard. During my Standby Phase on my next turn, I Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster—the monster I want to Fusion Summon is this one, [E·Hero Core Man].

"This card requires three [E-hero] monsters as fusion materials, so I sent [E-hero Shadow Mist Lady], [E-hero Liquid Man], and [E-hero Winged Man] from my deck to the graveyard."

Jaden Jademan piled three cards into the graveyard at once, then raised his Duel Disk again and said, "When [E-hero Shadow Mist Lady] is sent to the graveyard, I activate its effect to add one [Hero] monster other than [E-hero Shadow Mist Lady] from my Deck to my hand. I choose [E-hero Golden Dark Star].

With a simple combo of [Future Fusion], Jaden of the Overlord completed a simple graveyard dump without losing a single card, and even precisely retrieved a card from his deck to add to his hand. With six cards still in his hand, he played another card and said, "Next up is the effect of this [E-hero Golden Dark Star]. You can only activate it by discarding this card from my hand."

"Add one [Dark Fusion] or a card with the [Dark Fusion] card name other than [E-hero Golden Dark Star] to my hand from my deck. The card I searched for is this one, [Dark Divine Call].

Catching the card that popped out of the deck, Jaden revealed it directly. "【Dark Fusion】can banish monsters from my hand and Graveyard as Fusion Material, and Fusion Summon a monster that requires the effect of 【Dark Fusion】 as a 【Dark Fusion】 effect." "The required materials are: 【E-Hero Winged Man】 or 【E-Hero Hot Girl】 plus a 【Hero】 monster, banishing 【E-Hero Winged Man】 and 【E-Hero Liquid Man】 from my Graveyard as Fusion Material, 【Dark Fusion】!"

The Fusion Summon, which should have been a card disadvantage, was activated for the first time in this duel because Jaden simply used resources from the graveyard as materials and reduced his hand to five cards.

"Let the raging winds of hell rise from the depths of hell, extinguish the will to justice, and ignite the flames of destruction!"

"Dark Fusion Summon, Level 6☆!"

"Slay the enemy—[E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire]!"

"Tsk, that unpleasant pose... is that the variant of [E-hero Flame Winged Man - Flame Strike] that you kept calling your 'beloved'?" Yubel stared at the hot-bodied [E-hero Infernal Wings - Hellfire] and said jealously, "She even changed from a male to a female. What a shameless 'hero'!"

"Judai has become the person I wanted him to be, yet you are still obsessed with him. How shameful!"

Ignoring Yubel's jealousy of card monsters, Jaden continued, "When [E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire] is Special Summoned, activate its effect: Add one [Dark Fusion] or a card with the [Dark Fusion] name from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

"C2, [E·hero Liquid Man]'s effect: If this card is sent to the Graveyard or banished as Fusion Material for a [Hero] Fusion Monster, you can activate this effect: Draw two cards from my Deck, then discard one card from my hand."

The first card dealt with was the effect of [E-hero Liquid Man]. After drawing two cards, Jaden drew one card from his original hand and sent it to the graveyard. Then, he used the effect of [E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire] to take out a card from his deck: "I add this [Dark Domination] to my hand from my deck."

"Next, I banish the [E-hero Ominous Necromancer] from my Graveyard, which was just discarded due to the effect of [E-hero Liquid Man], to activate its effect. I Special Summon an [E-hero] monster other than the one [E-hero Ominous Necromancer] from my hand and Deck. I Special Summon this [E-hero Hellfire Knight] and activate the [E-hero Hellfire Knight]'s summoning effect. I add this [Dark Fusion] from my Deck to my hand."

Backcourt: [Future Fusion]

Without even using a normal summon, Jaden easily Special Summoned two monsters with over 2000 ATK on the field, and his hand grew to a total of eight cards as he played more and more.

"The effects of [E-hero Poison Bubble] and [E-hero Death Prisoner] in my hand will Special Summon them to my field. The Special Summoning condition for [E-hero Death Prisoner] is that I have a Fusion Monster Special Summoned by the effect of [Dark Fusion] on my field, while [E-hero Poison Bubble] will put me under a restriction that prevents me from Special Summoning monsters other than [Hero] monsters this turn."

Jaden played two cards from his hand in quick succession and said, "However, if [E-hero Poisonous Foam] is Special Summoned, the Fusion Monster Special Summoned by the effect of [Dark Fusion] - [E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire] is on my field, and I activate its effect."

"Draw two cards from my deck."

"Then I activate the second effect of [E-hero Death Prisoner] to send [E-hero Neos] from my deck to the graveyard. If a [Hero] Fusion Monster is Fusion Summoned this turn, the face-up [E-hero Death Prisoner] can be used as a Fusion Material Monster with the card name on that Fusion Monster instead."

【E-hero Toxic Foam】【ATK800】

【E-hero Death Row Mirror Prisoner】【ATK1700】

Jaden played cards one after another without consuming much of his hand. After placing two more monsters on the field, he played another card and said, "Next up is this Spell Card, Dark Fusion, which will send my E-hero Death Prisoner and E-hero Hell Rider, which replaced E-hero Neos as Fusion Material, to the Graveyard!"

"Meets the material requirements of [E·Hero Neos] or a Fusion Monster with [E·Hero Neos] in its card name plus an Effect Monster on the field!"

"Ruler of [Hero]! Unleash my justice with the power of darkness!"

"Dark Fusion Summon, Level 10☆!"

"In the name of the Overlord, let us trample upon all—[E-hero Neo-Universe Overlord]!"

As the title suggests, I've written about how I've wanted to post pictures of Yubel many times, but haven't been able to. Suddenly, I thought of a new possibility: it might not pass the review process.
