Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1708 Xinyu VS Fate
"Ahem. In short, New Universe is a very important trump card for me."

Judai continued.

"Then I summoned a new space companion! Come on, new space hero, Earth Mole!"

Mole Bro went to work again, his spinning silver drill shattering the earth. The metal drill sprang out, revealing the head of a cute-looking but actually ferocious, fluffy mole.

【New Space Warrior - Earth Mole, Attack Power 900】

"Then the battle began!" Judai said. "Elemental HERO Neos, attack 'Destiny HERO Decision Maker'!"

Xin Yuxia's body shone brightly, enveloped in a silver light, and he shot out like a meteor. He feinted in front of the Decision Maker, then rose vertically into the air, his hand blade trailing a long beam of light as it slashed down, cutting a gash across the Decision Maker's forehead.

Light shone brightly from the crack, and the decisive person exploded into pieces.

[Aide, LP4000 → LP3100]

Edward raised his hand to block the shockwave in front of him, his figure swayed, and he gave a disdainful snort.

Jaden: "Then comes 'New Spaceman Earth Mole,' attack directly!"

"Leave it to me, Judai!"

Mole Brother made a reassuring sound and curled up completely, his shoulder armor reforming into the shape of a drill to cover his entire head.

Then Mole used a burrowing technique to disappear underground, and the cracks spread all the way towards Edward's location.

"At this very moment, I discard 'Destiny Hero - Demolitionist' from my hand, and its effect activates!"

Edward plays another Fate/Hero card from his hand and sends it to the graveyard of the Duel Disk.

"The effect of Explosive Man: When a monster battles, discard this card from your hand and reduce the battle damage to yourself from that battle to 0!"

Jaden: "Oh, the Destiny Heroes' hand trap, not bad."

“It’s not over yet,” Edward sneered. “And after that, we both take 1000 points of damage each!”

As its name suggests, the Explosive Man's body only appeared briefly on the field before exploding with a deafening roar. It was as if his swollen body was filled with explosives, which detonated instantly. The explosion and the resulting blast blew the Earth Mole out of the ground and sent it flying.

"You're willing to suffer more yourself just to drag me down with you," Judai said.

Edward: "No, at this moment I activate the effect of 'Destiny HERO - Decision Maker' from the Graveyard. When this card is in the Graveyard and I am about to take damage from a card effect, I return Decision Maker from the Graveyard to my hand, and the damage I take becomes 0!"

So only Jaden suffered damage from the explosion.

[10th generation, LP4000 → LP3000]

"Not only did you inflict one-sided damage on me, but you also reclaimed my resources. Impressive, Edward," Jaden chuckled. "But this is what makes a duel interesting. Turn over."

Although they had only exchanged one blow, Edward seemed to already dislike him, coldly saying, "In our world, duelists like you who go to battle with a playful attitude die the fastest."

"I'm not approaching this with a playful attitude," Judai said casually.

Edward: "What?"

“But duels are supposed to be fun, right?” Jaden tilted his head and thought for a moment. “Of course, I also understand that duels are not just for entertainment.”

Especially after growing up and becoming a true duelist, you'll understand that dueling isn't just about fun. There will always be times when you have to duel, times when you have to carry heavy burdens. These times can be tough; you might get hurt, you might encounter setbacks.

He looked down at his hands, then clenched them into a fist, smiled again, and said, "But even so, I don't want to lose that initial passion. Even if I have to carry a heavy burden forward, even if the outcome might not be what I want, if I have to fight anyway, at least I can enjoy the process, right?"

As he spoke, a more expectant smile appeared on his face.

"If you approach the duel with this mindset, you'll be even more excited for each subsequent card draw, and who knows, a miracle might happen."

Edward: "."

For some reason, he suddenly found the jellyfish-haired boy incredibly dazzling.

The smiling face opposite him was as radiant as the sun, so dazzling that he dared not look directly at it.

But Edward quickly forced himself out of this abnormal state and shook his head.

What are you thinking about?

Ed Phoenix was the leader of the Institute's Fusion Army, one of Lord Zack's top generals. He almost fell into the other's mind, and even risked being brainwashed.
Absolutely ridiculous.

"I don't understand a word you're saying!" Edward shook his head. "My turn, draw a card!"

He glanced at the card he had drawn, then looked up and said, "I don't care about all your nonsense. Let's see what you have to say after you turn into a card."

Activate the Spell Card 'Fusion'!

He raised the magic card in his hand. A vortex of fusion instantly appeared behind him, transforming into a massive vortex. Two heroes of destiny then appeared in the void, drawn into the shimmering vortex.

A divine light erupted, and the "Hero of Destiny - Decision Maker" and the "Hero of Destiny - Divinity Maker" disappeared into the vortex. The two lower-level Heroes of Destiny merged, and a new power burst forth from within.

"Merge the Decision Maker and the Divine Being in your hand, and perform a Fusion Summon—"

—Hero of Destiny, Dependent of the Utopian!

A purplish-black light erupted from the vortex, and a bodysuit-like armor covered the hero's body. The letter "D" was clearly engraved on the golden helmet.

【Destiny Hero - Anti-Utopia, Attack Power 2800】

“Dystopia has appeared!” Jaden rubbed his hands together. “Interesting, my Edward seems to have this card too.”

Edward ignored him and continued, "Destiny HERO - Dystopian, effect activated! If this card is Fusion Summoned, select 1 'Destiny HERO' monster in your Graveyard that was used as Fusion Material, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK!" (Animation effect)

One of the two Destiny Heroes who had just gone to the graveyard as fusion material, the phantom of the Decision Man, reappeared and was absorbed into the body of the Depthon Man. Then, it was shot towards Jaden like a cannonball.

[Destiny Hero - Decision Maker, Attack Power 1600]

Yubel: "It's coming, Judai."

“Got it,” Jaden said. “Then I’ll discard ‘Cleanse Kuriboh’ from my hand, and its effect will activate! This card can negate effect damage from monster effects!”

A round, chestnut-shaped shell flew out, cracked open with a snap, and sprang out a fuzzy chestnut inside. The phantom of the Decision Maker collided with the chestnut and instantly vanished.

Ed remained expressionless, mechanically revealing another card from his hand: "Activate the equipment spell 'Delay Armor' from your hand."

This card can only be equipped to 'Destiny HERO' monsters. Monsters equipped with Delay Armor cannot be destroyed by battle. (Anime Card)
Edward raised his hand as he spoke.

"Battle has begun. Attack 'Elemental Hero - Neo-Universe' with 'Destiny Hero - Anti-Utopia'!"
