Chapter 1911 Yubel knocked the Overlord to the ground, determined to capture him and do that—

【Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love】【12☆/Dark】

[Demon Race/Fusion/Effect]

[0/0]

[Chronology of Maturity] [Chronology Indicators: 2→3]

"I am born for you in my complete form. Imprint this image deep into your soul, Jaden!" Yubel put down the card and looked at the monsters on his field. "The Fusion Material requirement for this [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] is one or more [Yubel] monsters plus an Effect Monster on the field. Therefore, I was able to use the effect of [Eternal Love] to Fusion Summon a total of seven monsters on the field!"

After a pause, Yubel sighed again: "Unfortunately, the [Yubel Phantom] has the restriction that it cannot be used as a fusion material. This certainly prevented you, Jaden, from using [Hyperfusion] to fuse with it, but it also meant that I was ultimately unable to achieve a complete and thorough fusion with you."

"Even so, it is enough. When a fusion summon is performed using a full seven monsters as fusion materials, [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] will unleash the most sorrowful, grief-stricken, and mournful power!"

Pointing at Judai, Yubel grinned maliciously: "Accept my 'love,' Judai, this 'love' called pain!"

"【Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love】Can only be activated if this card is successfully Fusion Summoned. Inflict effect damage to your opponent equal to the number of Fusion Material Monsters of this card x 500, which is a full 3500 points!"

Unable to defeat Jaden during the battle phase, Yubel's series of actions during the second main phase were aimed at activating the effect of [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] at this moment, delivering a devastating 3500-point finishing blow the instant the fusion summon was successful.

As he just said, if eight monsters are used as fusion material, the effect damage of [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] can soar to a full 4000 points. Even at the very beginning of a duel, it has the ability to end the duel in one turn and instantly kill (OTK). However, even 3500 points of effect damage is far beyond what Jaden, who only has 1000 life points, can withstand.

On the right arm of [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love], the dragon head, mimicking [E·hero Flame Winged Man], spread out and spewed black flames, charging straight at Jaden, who had no monsters on the field, seemingly intending to incinerate him completely—there is no doubt that Yubel can do it, whether it is Jaden's power or Yubel's power, they can materialize the damage in the duel and transform it into real damage!

Facing the oncoming black flames head-on, Jaden showed no fear, simply taking the damage directly!
"Hahaha, you've eaten it all, you've eaten it all, Jaden, how does my 'love' taste? How do you feel now?" Yubel grinned maliciously, not at all worried that Jaden would disappear from this world after his basic points were reduced to zero. After all, she was the creator of this world.

Beneath the surface of the world's facade that "losing a duel means death," the truth is that those who "die" in this world are actually rejected by it and sent to one of the countless worlds connected to this world, where Yubel once seized the world's original power. Jaden is the only one she has set to never leave this world, because this is the stage she envisions most suitable for her to be forever entangled with Jaden.

—The constant disappearance of his companions caused Jaden to feel the pain of loss, and he could only focus his attention on Yubel. This is Yubel's deep "love" for Jaden!
By defeating Jaden in a duel, Yubel can then do whatever he wants to Jaden, such as knocking Jaden to the ground and dragging him around. This part is exclusive to Yubel and Jaden and is considered restricted content.

However, just as Yubel was about to step forward to "pick up" the corpse of Jaden, the black flames that had been clinging to Jaden were suddenly swept away and completely removed as the cloak was flicked. The Jaden who appeared in front of Yubel did not show any signs of having his base score reduced to zero. It was as if he had no weakness period at all. In fact, Jaden's base score had not actually been reduced to zero?!

[Tenth Generation Overlord: 4000 → 1000 LP, Hand: 6]

"Impossible!?" Yubel exclaimed in shock. "Why did your base score increase to 4000 points, Jaden!? And why did the effect damage from [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] become 3000 points?!"

"Your base score didn't even increase due to the effect of [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love], but rather it increased before it appeared; it's almost like—"

"It's almost like I activated my backrow face-down card the moment your 'Eternal Love' activated," Jaden said calmly. "Compared to 'Super Polymerization'? It's just a Continuous Trap Card. How can it compare to the 'absolute' and 'invincible' power of 'Super Polymerization'?"

"I chained the Trap Card [Altar of Sacrifice] when your [Eternal Love] was activated, and with the power of this card, I sent my one-monster on the field, [E-hero Extreme Evil Death Demon], to the Graveyard."

"Therefore, the fusion material used by [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] is actually six bodies, not seven, and the final effect damage it can deal is only 3000 points. But before that, my base score was restored to the same value as the original attack power of [E-hero Extreme Evil Demon], which is 3000 points, because of the effect of [Sacrifice Altar]!"

The original killing blow was blocked by this card by Jaden, but Yubel was not upset at all. Instead, he said excitedly, "You've abandoned your 'partner' so easily again? As expected of Jaden! Jaden, that's the kind of person you are. You let your monster die for your own survival, just like you abandoned me back then!"

"However, you only have 1000 Life Points left, and only two useless cards on the field, while I have so many monsters on the field, and—"

Yubel activated the last card in her hand, taking out five cards from her graveyard and saying, "Spell Card [Pot of Greed], I return five monster cards from my graveyard—[Yubel - Extremely Sad Dragon], [Yubel Elf], two [Yubel], and [Undead Torture Giant]—to my deck, then draw two cards."

[John/Yubel: 7000LP, Hand: 1→2]

Yubel replenished his hand with cards from the deck and waved his hand again, saying, "Next is this [Monster Reborn]. I Special Summon [Revenge of the Demon Lord] from the Graveyard to the field in Defense Position, and add another counter to [Chronicle of Maturity]."

"That concludes my turn."

[John/Yubel: 7000LP, Hand: 2→1]

【Ubel Phantom】【ATK0】

【Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love】【ATK0】

【Sacrifice to the Demon Realm Lotus】【ATK0】

Backcourt: [Nightmare of Pain] [Chronicle of Maturity] [Chronicle Counter: 3→4] [Face Card]

Location: [Nightmare Throne]

As Yubel declares the end of her turn, "Nightmare's Pain," which had been negated by "Dark Domination," regains its effect. This means that if any "Yubel" monster is on Yubel's field, Jaden must attack those monsters, essentially making it a version of "E-Hero Evil Blade Demon King" without a change of battle position. Furthermore, "Nightmare's Pain" transfers all battle damage to Yubel from battles involving "Yubel" monsters to Jaden, effectively rendering decks reliant on high attack power useless.

The "Mature Chronicle" card, which already has four Chronicle counters, can activate its effect again during Yubel's next turn, destroying a card on the field without targeting it. Both "Revenge of the Demon Lotus" and "Yubel's Phantom" have the ability to modify the effects of the opponent's monsters when they activate their effects, which is both a form of monster effect counter and a means of assisting in the development of the game.

Not to mention the effects of Field Spell Cards, Yubel only revealed her first activated ability to Jaden, and never used the second effect. Whenever her "Yubel" monsters are destroyed or banished by card effects, or are Tributed, Fusion, etc., as long as they leave the field, the second effect of the Field Spell Card "Nightmare Throne" will activate, allowing Yubel to add a specific level "Yubel" from her Deck, Graveyard, or even banished monsters to her hand and Special Summon it regardless of the Summoning conditions!

And her mysterious card in the backcourt will give Jaden a unique surprise!

Two counters and one bomb, negation during the Battle Phase, plus the offensive power of [Yubel - Guardian of Eternal Love] which is no weaker than [Yubel - Extremely Sad Dragon], and the assistance of Spell & Trap Cards, this is the final battle that Yubel has laid before Jaden the King - and most importantly, its 7000 Life Points!
We've already won! Victory belongs to us, and Judai belongs to us too!

Just as Yubel was thinking so confidently, a piece of music suddenly came from somewhere. She looked over and found that the sound was coming from the Duel Disk in the hand of Jaden the Great?

Jaden did not use his old Duel Disk, discarding it at the same cliff edge where it had been before. The Duel Disk in his hand was created out of thin air using his vast, untapped dark power. Although the current Duel Disk incorporates many of Jaden's own ingenious design elements, it was still somewhat based on a real-world prototype—the original Duel Disk—when it was created.

Therefore, although Jaden himself did not have such intentions, he still copied all the programs from the original Duel Disk, including but not limited to the device for automatically searching and popping cards, the positioning system, the function of collecting duel energy to protect duelists during duels, and the function of triggering Easter egg-like sound effects in specific situations.

With a vast disparity in life points compared to his opponent, the "Little Tune of the Overlord" began to play. Undeterred by the rather fitting background music, the Overlord Jaden drew a card from his deck and declared, "My turn, draw—and then, prepare to be crushed, Yubel, my power surpasses yours!"

"The instant I enter my Standby Phase, the card [Future Fusion] activated last turn takes effect, Fusion Summoning [E·Hero Core Man] from my Extra Deck to the field!"

The red and white Earth Core Hero appeared on Jaden's field in response to the call of [Future Fusion]. However, although it did not have a corresponding dark special form, [E·hero Earth Core Hero] was still tainted with dark magic the moment it entered Jaden's field, and stood on Jaden's field somewhat weakly.

【E·hero Earth Core Warrior】【9☆/Earth】

[Warrior Race/Fusion/Effect]

[2700/2200]

“I remember this card, Jaden.” Yubel said, looking at the normal [E·hero] that was rarely seen on Jaden’s field now. “When it becomes the target of an attack, it can double its ATK, destroy one card on the field at the end of the Battle Phase, and when it is destroyed by battle or card effect, it can Special Summon one [E·hero] Fusion Monster of Level 8 or lower from the Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions, right?”

"It's a very powerful monster, but its compatibility with me is fatally bad. Because if you double its attack power, it will only cause 'me' to reflect even greater damage when attacking you. Destroying the card at the end of the battle phase is pointless and will only promote my evolution."

As he spoke, Yubel even tucked a finger together, "Besides, you only have 1000 points left in your base score? Keep struggling, Jaden, you can't escape from me. Staying with me forever is your destined fate!"

"What kind of garbage is fate?" However, upon hearing Yubel's words, Jaden of the Overlord not only remained unmoved but also retorted contemptuously, "In this world, the only thing that can 'determine' anything is power, and only power is absolutely above everything else."

"The purpose of [E·hero Earth Core] is not for fighting, but for me to use like this—" With that, Jaden of the Overlord revealed a card in his hand and said, "I activate the Spell Card [Mask Change] to send [E·hero Earth Core] to the Graveyard and Special Summon [M·hero Crystal], also an EARTH card, from my Extra Deck!"

【M·hero Crystal Diamond】【8☆/location】

[Warrior Race/Fusion/Effect]

[2800/3000]

The sudden use of "Mask Change" by Jaden not only allowed him to use the Fusion Monster originally named "E-hero" as Yubel had previously observed, but it was also clear that he added "M-hero" cards to his deck in addition to the "E-hero" and "E-hero" monsters!

As the diamond-like knight appeared, Jaden activated another card: "Activate the Spell Card [Hero's Legacy], return two Fusion Monsters from my Graveyard, [E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire] and [E-hero Neos Overlord], which require [Hero] monsters as Fusion Material, to my Extra Deck, and draw three cards from my Deck."

[Tenth Generation Overlord: 1000LP, Hand: 6→7→9]

【M·hero Crystal Diamond】【ATK2800】

Backcourt: [Future Fusion] [Face Card]

Having seemingly acquired a decent card from the draw, Jaden immediately revealed it, saying, "Next, activate the Spell Card 'Dark Contact'! This card can return monsters on my field, in my Graveyard, or even banished as Fusion Material to my Deck, and then Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster that can only be Special Summoned by an effect of 'Dark Fusion' as if it were an effect of 'Dark Fusion'!"

If we say that "Dark Fusion" corresponds to the common "Fusion" card that Jaden often uses, and "Dark Divine Summon" corresponds to "Miracle Fusion" that specifically supports the "Hero" deck, then this "Dark Contact" card, although its card image corresponds to "Contact Fusion" related to "E. Hero Neos", actually corresponds more to "Parallel World Fusion", which can also use banished monsters as Fusion Material.

"I return my banished [E·hero Winged Man] and [E·hero Hell Rider] to the Deck to fulfill the Fusion Material requirement and add a [Hero] monster to either [E·hero Winged Man] or [E·hero Hot Lady]!"

"Return amidst the flames, [E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire], who has just returned to the Extra Deck!"

【E-hero Wings of Inferno - Hellfire】【ATK2100】

On this Lunar New Year, let me say a few auspicious words to everyone. May you all eat well in the new year, and may you get plenty of lucky draws, starting with fewer top-tier items and more useless ones.
The Spring Festival is really just like that; after all, it's just the anniversary of the Earth's revolution around the sun once again. Life goes on as usual, and the few lively days pass by in a flash (mainly because I'm tired from visiting relatives and feel bad about giving red envelopes to the kids).
I'll continue to owe updates starting tomorrow: 4/9
