"When I successfully Summon or Special Summon [E-Hero Skyman], I can choose to activate one of its two effects—destroy a certain number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field or search my Deck for a [Hero] monster to add to my hand. I choose the latter." Jaden drew another card from the Duel Disk and showed the card he had chosen. "The one added to my hand is this [E-Hero Liquidman]."

"He summoned three monsters on the field in an instant, and still has six cards left in his hand." Marufuji Sho stood firmly on Jaden's side, cheering him on, "As expected of the eldest brother!"

“Judai’s performance is undoubtedly powerful.” Misawa looked at Caesar, who remained unmoved by Judai’s actions. “However, if the opponent is Caesar, mere power is far from enough. Judai needs something more, something deeper.”

"Rather than your so-called 'strongest in modern times' vs. 'strongest in history,' I prefer to call this duel 'the inheritor' vs. 'the thirsty one,'" Hayato remarked meaningfully from the side.

"Here it comes, Caesar! My Fusion!" Jaden said, casting a card as he looked at Caesar. "I send the two monsters from my hand, the WATER-attribute [E. Hero Liquid Man] and the [E. Hero Sky Man] on the field, to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials. Spell Card [Fusion] activated!"

"The condition is that a [Hero] monster and a Water-type monster are combined—" Jaden shouted, raising his hand as if to grab something, "The endless power of the storm and the pure power of the flowing water converge, transforming into a protective ice barrier standing before us!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

"Shatter the heavens, [E·hero Absolute Zero]!"

Storms and eddies gathered on the field and in the hand of the Jade Emperor, and the raging water tornado that converged suddenly froze and transformed into solid ice. From there, a warrior in pure white armor broke through the ice, his cloak billowing behind him!

As the new hero makes his debut and attracts attention, Jaden draws two more cards from his deck and says, "If a card is sent to the graveyard as fusion material for the [Hero] monster, the effect of [E·hero Liquid Man] is activated. I draw two cards from my deck and discard one card from my hand."

After drawing two cards and glancing at the six cards in his hand, Jaden chose to discard one and said, "The card I discarded is this [E·hero Shadow Mist Lady]. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, its effect is activated, adding one [Hero] monster other than [E·hero Shadow Mist Lady] from my Deck to my hand."

"The card I chose is this one, [E·hero Blaze].

"Can you search for a Fusion E-Hero when you Summon or Special Summon? But you already used your Normal Summon on E-Hero Solid Warrior this turn, didn't you?" Seeing the six cards left in Jaden's hand, Kaiser smirked and said contemptuously, "Even if you search for that card now, it's meaningless if you can't play it."

"That's not necessarily true. The power of [Hero] can even do 'Monster Resurrection'." Jaden showed one of the two cards he had just drawn, "[Swamp Demon King], discard it from my hand to the graveyard, and add the second [Fusion] Spell Card from my deck to my hand."

"Then, using the two monsters in my hand, the Fire attribute [E·hero Blaze] and the Earth attribute [E·hero Solid] on the field, as Fusion Material, I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] again!"

"The earth nurtures fervent hope, and the light of courage will burst forth from the earth and rise to the heavens, where it will be born and transformed into the radiance of miracles!"

"Fusion Summon! [E·Hero Sunrise Warrior]!"

A flowing blue cloak billowed in the breeze, revealing a broad chest, sharp eyes peering through a horned helmet, and a striking weapon adorned with two arm armors, each resembling a shimmering sun disc split in two!

"【E·hero】 refers to heroes who wield the elemental power 'Elemental' to uphold justice. Their greatest skill is combining multiple elemental powers to create miracles," Jaden said proudly. "When 【E·hero Sunrise Knight】 is successfully Special Summoned, its effect can be activated to add 【Miracle Fusion】 from the Deck to my hand."

"If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard by a Spell Card, I can target any [Hero] monster in my Graveyard other than [E.Hero] and Special Summon it to my field in Defense Position."

After a pause, Jaden selected a card and said, "And the monster I Special Summoned is one of the materials for [E·Hero Sunrise] - this [E·Hero Blaze].

C1【E·hero Sunrise Knight】C2【E·hero Solid Knight】The 【E·hero Flame Knight】, which had just been sent to the graveyard, appeared on Jaden's field in defense position. At the same time, the 【E·hero Sunrise Knight】's arms shone brightly as it delivered a card to Jaden's hand.

"It's not over yet! Since the Special Summon was successful, the effect of [E·Hero Flamebringer] was also triggered, and I added my third [Fusion] Spell Card to my hand." Jaden continued, his hand growing back to five cards.

"The continuous effect of 【E·Hero Sunrise】 grants all monsters on my field an ATK equal to 200 times the type of monster on my field. If I have 【E·Hero Sunrise】 (LIGHT), 【E·Hero Absolute Zero】 (WATER), 【E·Hero Bubble】 (WATER), or 【E·Hero Flame】 (FIRE) on my field, all monsters on my field gain an ATK of 600!"

"Next is this quick-play spell card, [Bubble Illusion]. This card can only be activated while I have [E. Hero Bubble Man] face-up on my field. This turn, I can activate one Trap Card from my hand."

Jaden looked at Caesar and suddenly revealed a sly smile, "And I will release the two cards on the field, [E·Hero Flameman] and [E·Hero Bubbleman], to activate this card!"

"Continuous Trap Card, [Tyrant's Tyranny]!"

Because the [E·hero Bubble Man] Special Summoned by the effect of [Fake Hero] will return to the hand at the end of the turn, Jaden activated this card while it was still on the field!

"I can only activate this effect by Tributing two monsters on my field. As long as this card is on the field, neither player can activate the effects of cards in their hand or on the field!" Jaden's face lit up with a sunny smile. "Although the number of monster types has decreased and the attack bonus provided by [E·Hero Sunrise] has been reduced, it is still more important to block the effects of your [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] and other monsters, Kaiser."

"The final fusion—[Miracle Fusion] activated! This card can banish monsters from my field and Graveyard as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster of the same [E-Hero] from my Fusion Deck." Raising his Duel Disk, watching the three cards appear and then disappear one after the other, Jaden pointed forward, "I banish the three monsters [E-Hero Flameman], [E-Hero Solidman], and [E-Hero Skyman] from my Graveyard as Fusion Material!"

"The Trisolaran monster!?"

So far, most of the [E·hero] fusion monsters used by Jaden have been fused together in a one-plus-one manner. There have been more [Hero] fusions, but these have only been the two-body [E·hero Skywing] and [E·hero Immortal] that require a fixed pairing. But Jaden is now using three monsters that cannot be fused into [E·hero Skywing] for fusion?

"O ultimate hero who permeates the entire planet and the whole world, from the atmosphere and the land to the deepest core of the earth, the heavens are calling, the earth is calling, and humanity is calling! We are calling for you to bring the dawn!"

Jaden shouted as he played a card, "Triple Element Fusion, Level 9☆, Star Core [Hero]!"

"Complete! [E·hero Earth Core Warrior]!"

A white warrior, somewhat similar to the [E·hero Earthman] used by the previous Jaden, and whose name does indeed suggest a gestational relationship, descended upon Jaden's field. [E·hero Earthman], like [E·hero Earthman], has jewels embedded throughout his body as a core for storing energy. However, unlike [E·hero Earthman], his energy has overflowed to the point that it has turned completely red and has even spilled out as energy bands of photon blood, connecting with other parts of his body.

"Light, Water, Earth, now my monsters have three different attributes, so the attack bonus from [E·Hero Sunrise] has increased to 600!" Jaden had three cards left in his hand, but he tapped them one by one and used all three cards. "I activate the Continuous Spell Card [Nightmare Mirage], then I set all my remaining cards face down. End of turn."

[The Tyrant's Outrageous Words] [Nightmare of the Mirage Tower] [GaiKa] X2

The Continuous Spell Card and Continuous Trap Card are arranged like a pendulum on the left and right, along with three monsters and two face-down cards. This is the final field that Jaden created after playing all his cards in one turn!

Although there are three monsters with an attack power of over 3000, the attack power of the monsters is not the main point. After all, Jaden himself knows that the strength of [Hero] has never been in high-speed attacks, but in the "combination attacks" that can be released when they work together. Therefore, in order to counter Kaiser's "surface electron flow" and "reverse electron flow", his defensive focus is actually on the back field!

"The Tyrant's Tyranny, which restricts the activation of monster effects for both players, is even more troublesome than Skill Drain because it restricts the activation of monster effects in both the field and the hand. And then there's Nightmare Mirage, which can greatly replenish your hand when combined with Extra Food."

Caesar wasn't in a hurry to start his turn. Instead, he calmly looked at the cards on Jaden's back field, a half-smile playing on his lips as he commented, "However, you have a Fusion Spell Card in your hand that's face up, and one of your two face-down cards is Fusion. Will the remaining card be Extraordinary Food? Or some other card?"

"Who knows? Besides [Unusual Food], there's also the possibility of [Trouble-Making a Snake], or even [Electronic Summoning Demolition Device]~" Jaden wasn't so stupid as to answer Caesar's question about what his face card was, so he just said casually.

"Ha, you still have this relaxed mindset? Do you think you have a good chance of winning?" Caesar's smile became wild. "Very good, keep it up, and don't blink—because I will soon snatch victory from your eyes, so savor this composure and leisure a little longer!"

"My turn, draw a card—"

Caesar saw a magic card in his hand depicting a thunderstorm falling from the sky!

Chapter 1391 Jaden Yuuki VS. Caesar of Hell! Light and Darkness Intertwined (Part Two)

"During Caesar's preparation phase, my [Nightmare Mirage] skill takes effect."

Jaden drew four cards from his deck and said, "I draw cards from my deck until I have four cards in my hand. Since I have no cards in my hand, I can draw four cards."

“However, during your preparation phase, you must randomly discard the same number of cards as you draw.” Caesar’s lips curled into a smile. “Unless you use it in conjunction with a card like [Extraordinary Food].

“However, I’m a kind-hearted person and can’t bear to see you lose so many cards. So, let me use this card to help you send [Nightmare Mirage] to the graveyard!” Caesar said, playing the card in his hand. “Spell Card [Lightning Storm] activated!”

Although Jaden often goes all out in duels and is a complete "god-drawing dog", Ryo Marufuji is not incapable of drawing cards like that. The card that Kaiser played at this moment was the very card he had drawn at the start of this turn!

"If I have no face-up cards on my field, I can choose one of the two effects of [Lightning Storm] to activate: destroy all Attack Position monsters on my opponent's field, or destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on my opponent's field."

Although destroying all of Jaden's monsters in attack position seemed more cost-effective, Kaiser only had one card in his hand, "Lightning Storm," that could destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the back row. Without dealing with Jaden's back row cards first, he couldn't even set up a combo. Therefore, he decisively said, "I choose the latter: destroy all of my opponent's Spell/Trap Cards!"

Jaden had set all his cards face down, including [Fusion], hoping to bait out cards that could destroy other characters like [Whirlwind]. However, Caesar's lightning-fast attack on his back row still gave Jaden a headache. He said helplessly, "As expected of Caesar, such a fierce offensive right from the start. It's a pity I didn't set up any cards like [Scapegoat's Darkness]."

“But I can’t let you destroy all the cards on my back row like that. At least let me use one of them first.” Jaden said, waving his hand. “Chain: Lightning Storm! I activate my back row face-down card—Quick-Play Spell Card: Mask Change!”

Jaden had already fused and summoned [E·hero Absolute Zero] on the field, wasn't he just aiming to unleash the classic "Absolute Zero Acid Water" combo? Although it wasn't his turn, [Mask Change] was a second-speed Quick-Play Spell Card, allowing it to be used during his opponent's turn. This meant Jaden could unleash a front-and-back combo at any point during Kaiser's turn—provided, of course, that the [Mask Change] he set was still active, and that Kaiser had cards on the field that were worth using this combo on.

Currently, Kaiser only has one newly activated [Lightning Storm] on the field. Even if it is not destroyed, it will leave the field after its effect ends. Using the "Zero Acid" combo for just one [Lightning Storm] is as pointless as chaining [Pot of Greed] to activate [Whirlwind]. Therefore, Jaden did not choose to use it on [E·hero Absolute Zero] to summon his old friend [M·hero Acid], but instead targeted another monster on his field.

"I can only activate this effect by targeting one of my [Hero] monsters. Determine the target monster's Attribute and send it to the Graveyard. If this effect causes a monster to leave the field, Special Summon one [M·hero] monster with the same Attribute as the target monster from my Fusion Deck!" Jaden pointed to an unexpected target. "The monster I've chosen is [E·hero Sunrise]!"

"Huh? Isn't it your most commonly used [E·Hero Absolute Zero]?" Kaiser looked at Jaden's choice with some surprise. "If [E·Hero Sunrise] disappears from the field, the attack power of your monsters will collectively decrease."

“There’s no other way. Using Mask Transformation on E-Hero Absolute Zero right now would be too wasteful. It’s more appropriate to use it on E-Hero Sunrise.” Jaden spread his hands helplessly and smiled at Caesar. “Besides, his attribute happens to be ‘light.’ If your opponent is Caesar, then using the light attribute is definitely more suitable, right?”

"After all, the ace monster we used to decide the winner in that doubles match was the light-attribute [E·hero Shining Man]."

Caesar remembered that it was not long after the start of the semester when Jaden broke into the old school building to rescue Asuka and Sho Marufuji. The school's board of directors decided to decide whether Jaden would be expelled through a doubles duel. Caesar was interested in Jaden and wanted to repay him for saving his younger brother Sho Marufuji, so he became Jaden's partner to fight the legendary duelists and doubles experts, the "Dungeon Brothers."

That duel was the first time Jaden displayed his strength in front of the entire academy community of teachers and students, the first time he used [Mask Transformation], and the first time he came into contact with himself.

Although he remembered it clearly, Caesar said coldly, "I have long forgotten that boring past that was useless for victory."

"It wasn't useless at all! The brilliance you displayed in that duel, Caesar, was truly dazzling, and I firmly believe that even though you're using the seemingly dark 'Reverse Electro Stream' now, that brilliance still resides within you." Jaden said, calling out, "[E·Hero Sunrise]'s attribute is LIGHT. I'll send [E·Hero Sunrise] to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon this LIGHT [M·Hero] from my Fusion Deck!"

The power of [Mask Change] entered the body of [E·Hero Sunrise] on the field of Jaden. His armor instantly transformed into pure light and scattered, with countless laser beams reflecting irregularly all around before converging back towards [E·Hero Sunrise].

"Surround yourself with dazzling light, unleash your will like lightning across the universe, encompass all things, and transform it into a guiding force for the future!" Clenching his fist, Jaden's palm shone with light. "I've grasped this dazzling victory! My courageous spirit will change the world!"

"Form Change! Level 8☆!"

With a sudden movement, Jaden opened his hand and threw out a card that had appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"【M·hero Light Fang】!"

The armor on [E·hero Sunrise], which had been completely removed, was regenerated, but its coverage and thickness were significantly reduced. The main power was concentrated on his arms, and the original pair of arm blades transformed into two sharp arm swords, which were golden in color and looked extraordinary!
