Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"And the fusion materials I've chosen are—[M·hero Gust] and [M·hero Light Fang]!"

"Wind attribute [M·hero Gust] and Light attribute [M·hero Light Fang]?" Caesar frowned. "The two [M·hero] monsters that are not [E·hero] cannot meet the fusion material requirements for [E·hero Tornado] or [E·hero Shining Warrior]. Are we going to fuse and summon a second [E·hero Sunrise Warrior]?"

"No, unleash your imagination, Caesar! I already told you, it's a 'brand new [Hero]'." Jaden looked at the [M·hero Gust] and [M·hero Koga] that appeared before him in phantom form. Golden light and green gale began to merge, the light transforming into pure white, while the storm brewed a deep black. "It's not 'Elemental·hero', nor 'Masked·hero', but 'Contrast·hero'!"

"Comparison Hero, Contrast Hero?" Caesar's English was quite good, but he was still a little confused. "But Jaden, the power of [Miracle Fusion] should only be used to fuse and summon [E·hero] Fusion Monsters."

"That's true, but the 'Contrast·hero' that I'm going to fuse and summon is also considered an [E·hero] according to the rules."

As Jaden spoke, he held up the fully charged Miracle Fusion card and shouted, "Mr. Hero Gale, Mr. Hero Kouga! Lend me your power!"

"The required fusion material is the two monsters of 【M·hero】, one hero walks in darkness, the other serves the light. The sacred light of protection and the pure darkness of night now merge to become a new hero of love and justice!"

"Oppositions merge, reaching the pinnacle! Fusion Summon, Level 9☆!"

"Come forth! To the ultimate hero—"

On the left is a gleaming silver-white body, with powerful muscles that conceal abundant strength, ready to strike evil with a heavy blow at any moment;

On the right is a jet-black armor with sharp blades, its wild and violent fighting style aimed at eradicating evil in the darkness.

The ribbons of two scarves, one black and one white, fluttered in the wind. The hero, with his distinct black and white body, inherited the power of his sacrificed comrades and arrived on the field at the call of "Miracle." Behind him, the flames of fighting spirit, interwoven with red and blue, burned fiercely. He couldn't wait to fight the powerful enemy on the field—[Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon]—just like Jaden couldn't wait to settle the score with Kaiser!

His name is—

"—【C·hero Chaos Knight】!"

Chapter 1396 Jaden Yuuki VS. Caesar of Hell! Light and Darkness Intertwined (Part 7)

"【C·hero Chaos Knight】!"

【C·hero Chaos Knight】【9☆/Dark】

[Warrior Race/Fusion/Effect]

[3000/2600]

“According to the rules, [C·hero Chaosman] is also used as [E·hero], and cannot be Special Summoned without Fusion Summoning. Therefore, I was able to use [Miracle Fusion], which is only used for [E·hero] Fusion Monsters, to Fusion Summon it.” Jaden explained the effect of his newly Special Summoned [C·hero Chaosman], “And as long as [C·hero Chaosman] is in the Monster Zone, its attribute can also be used as LIGHT.”

While Jaden was explaining, his expression remained unchanged, merely showing genuine joy at summoning a new hero. However, Manjoume in the audience turned red: "This is plagiarism! Utter plagiarism!"

(A tribute, all tributes.jpg)

"It's just that the left side is black and the right side is white, while the left side is white and the right side is black. The normal light attribute, which can be regarded as the dark attribute, has also been reversed to the normal dark attribute, which can be regarded as the light attribute. The Warrior race's [C·hero Chaos Knight] is clearly a rip-off of my Dragon race's [Dragon of Light and Darkness]!"

Marufuji Sho's lips twitched: "It can't be that bad, right? It's probably just a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence! The attack power of [Dragon of Light and Darkness] is 400 points higher than its defense power, the attack power of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] is also 400 points higher than its defense power, and then that inexplicably [C·hero Chaos Knight]'s attack power is also 400 points higher than its defense power. What kind of coincidence is this!? It's confirmed!"

"Who knows, that annoying jellyfish-headed guy might use that [C·hero Chaos Knight] card to activate an effect that can nullify other people's effects later!"

Manjoume said confidently. He had just believed that Jaden wouldn't be defeated so easily, but now he suddenly wanted to stand on Caesar's side and tell him to quickly take down this "Panda Man" on Jaden's field, which was "identified as a copy of Panda Dragon at first glance".

“No, you can actually look at it from a different perspective, Manjoume.” Fubuki patted Manjoume’s shoulder and smiled as she comforted him. “Since [C·hero Chaos Knight] is so similar to your [Dragon of Light and Darkness], doesn’t that mean that Judai is going to defeat Akira on your behalf to avenge your previous defeat?”

"Huh? Is that so?" Manjoume paused, stunned. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, oh no, no, no, oh yes, yes, yes..."

Unaffected by Manjoume's chaotic state, Kaiser looked at the newly appeared [C·hero Chaos Knight] on the field and smirked: "A [Hero] with 3000 attack power, huh? This must be the [E·hero] with the highest base attack power among all of your [E·hero] units, Jaden, right?"

While a considerable number of the "E-hero" monsters in the tenth generation possess the ability to boost attack power, such as "E-hero Shining Flame Wingman" which draws power from "E-hero" cards in the graveyard, "E-hero Immortal" which increases its attack power based on the number of monsters with the same attribute as itself on the opponent's field, "E-hero Earth" which increases its attack power by releasing monsters, or "E-hero Gaia" which steals attack power from other players' monsters to boost its own attack power.

Both the previously used [E·hero Shining Man] and the [E·hero Sunrise Man], which appeared several times in this duel, have the effect of increasing attack power. Even the defensive counterattack ability of [E·hero Core Man] is a kind of offensive ability, only it is more passive.

However, disregarding all those various abilities, the highest base attack power of all [E·hero] monsters, including those in the main deck and the [E·hero] and [M·hero] in the fusion deck, before the appearance of [C·hero Chaos Knight], was the "Four Elements Fusion of Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth" created by Jaden using [Parallel World Fusion] in his duel with Daitokuji—[E·hero Immortal Knight], which had a base attack power of 2900 points, extremely close to the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].

In the minds of others who did not witness Jaden's duel with Daitokuji, the monsters with the highest attack power used by Jaden were only [M·Hero Diamond] and [E·Hero Skywing], which had an attack power of 2800 points.

But today, [C·hero Chaos Knight] has finally broken and surpassed this record. With 3000 points of attack power and 2600 points of defense power, its value is even higher than [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] in terms of defense power.

"However, there's still a 2600-point difference in attack power between you and my [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon], Jaden. Do you have any cards in your hand that can provide an attack power boost exceeding that difference?"

Kaiser's question brought a smile to Jaden's face. He selected a card from his hand: "Kaiser, you should have guessed that already, right? To deal with [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon], which excels at equipping monsters, it's only natural to use an Equip Card. This card is exactly what Climax needs for this duel!"

"Spell Card, [Weapon Hole] activated! The cost of activating this card is that I cannot perform a Normal Summon this turn." After selecting the card and activating it, Jaden draws a card from his deck and watches it dissipate into the Graveyard.

"I can only activate [Weapon Hole] by sending the top card of my deck to the graveyard. I choose one Equip Spell Card from my deck or graveyard and add it to my hand. And the card I choose is naturally this one, [Beloved Hero]!"

Retrieving the equipment card from his deck that had helped him countless times since he entered school, Jaden glanced at Asuka in the audience, smiled at her, and played the card he had just retrieved. "And [Beloved Hero] is an equipment spell card that can only be equipped to [Hero] monsters of Level 5 or higher. I'll equip it to [C·hero Chaos Knight] on my field!"

With just one card, it can provide an attack power boost, target resistance, trigger additional attacks by destroying monsters, and activate a field spell card from the deck at the start of both players' battle phases. The card effect of [Beloved Hero] is frighteningly high, and its style is also extremely suitable for Jaden's duels.

More importantly, this card represents the bond between Judai and Asuka. Judai would rather forgo one of the "Kite Robot" cards that Sho gave him than not keep this card in his deck.

After equipping [C·hero Chaosman] with [Beloved Hero], Jaden had two cards left in his hand. He glanced at the monsters on Caesar's field and said, "Although you, Caesar, have been mindful of the effect of my [E·hero Absolute Zero] and haven't destroyed it in order to protect your [Cyber ​​Raider] and [Armored Cyber ​​Wing] which can act as shields, I can still actively send them to the graveyard to trigger their effects."

"Activate the effect of [Winged Kuriboh LV6] in my Graveyard. Once per turn, you can Special Summon this monster from my hand or Graveyard by banishing one face-up [E-hero] Fusion Monster or [Winged Kuriboh] from my hand, Graveyard, and field."

"I banish [E·hero Absolute Zero] from my field and Special Summon [Winged Kuriboh LV6]!"

Adorned with the wings of the [E·hero Flame Wingman] and a dragon head, [Winged Kuriboh] appeared on Jaden's field in its evolved form, and instead of choosing Defense Position, it aggressively entered Attack Position.

【Winged Kuriboh LV6】【6☆/Light】

[Angel Race/Special Summon/Effect]

[300/200]

When was that card...?

Caesar started but didn't continue. "No, there are too many opportunities. The cards drawn from Nightmare Mirage that were sent to the graveyard by Hand Elimination, the cards sent to the graveyard by Masked Change II, and the top card of the deck that was sent to the graveyard by Weapon Hole just now. You have at least three chances to send Winged Kuriboh LV6 to the graveyard."

"There are just too many opportunities for you and your Winged Kuriboh. Even I have to admit how powerful you and your Winged Kuriboh are."

"Hehe, I don't know if you can understand, Caesar, but [Winged Kuriboh LV6] is telling you, 'Even if you praise me, I won't be happy,' but she actually seems quite happy." Seeing her [Winged Kuriboh LV6] scratching its "headgear" with an embarrassed expression after being praised by Caesar, Jaden also acted as the translator for his "Aibo".

"But Caesar, don't let Aibo's appearance distract you! If she leaves my field, is sent to the Graveyard, or is banished, the effect of [E·Hero Absolute Zero] will activate!" Caesar pointed at the monsters on his field, "Destroy all the monsters on your opponent's field!"

"【Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon】is unaffected by the effects activated by the opponent!" Caesar said calmly. "The only ones that will be affected are my 【Cyber ​​Raider】 and 【Armored Electronic Wing】."

"That's enough! Because that's the mission of [E·hero Absolute Zero]. [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] was never his target from the beginning. He only needs to clear out the other monsters on your field, Kaiser, which is already enough of his effort. And [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] will naturally have other partners to deal with it."

Jaden waved his hand, "I'm counting on you, [E·hero Absolute Zero]!"

"Oh! I'll be the navigator to the future!" With his own power, [Winged Kuriboh LV6] opened the door from the graveyard to Jaden's field. With his energy running low, [E·hero Absolute Zero] gave Jaden a thumbs up and then charged onto Kaiser's field.

"This is not death, but for a greater victory!"

"boom!"

The moment it made contact with the [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] on the Kaiser field, [E·hero Absolute Zero] unleashed its last remaining power, and the intense freezing air instantly enveloped all the monsters on the Kaiser field, reaching an extreme low temperature of "absolute zero" that even made hard metal brittle. It also completely destroyed the power supply inside [Electronic Raider] and [Armored Electronic Wing], turning them into complete ice sculptures.

However, [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon] was completely unaffected. In just an instant, it broke free from the ice around it and stood still on Caesar's field, becoming the last and strongest obstacle in its path.

"Enter my Battle Phase, and at this moment, activate the effect of 'Beloved Hero' equipped on 'C·hero Chaos Knight'! This effect can only be activated at the start of both players' Battle Phases. Activate one Field Spell Card from my hand or Deck."

The Duel Disk emitted a beam of light that enveloped the surrounding environment, and Jaden shouted, "And heroes are the stage for heroes to fight on!"

"Field Spell Card [Skyscraper] activated!"

Countless skyscrapers rose from the ground in an instant, and the [Cotton Token], [C·hero Chaos Knight], and [Winged Kuriboh LV6] on the field were also carried into the sky by the skyscrapers, but they only reached eye level with the towering [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon].

"【Skyscraper】has the ability to increase the attack power of 【E·hero】 monsters by 1000 points when attacking monsters with higher attack power. This can help the original 【C·hero Chaos Knight】 to increase its attack power when fighting 【Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon】." After a pause, Caesar sneered, "But Jaden, it is also because of the appearance of 【Skyscraper】 that the first effect of your 【Beloved Hero】 takes effect, and 【C·hero Chaos Knight】's attack power will increase its defense value."

"And his defensive power is exactly 2600 points, which is exactly the difference between the attack power of [C·hero Chaos Knight] and [Armor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon]!"

【C·hero Chaos Knight】(Beloved Hero)【ATK3000→5600】

"So, are you going to let [C·hero Chaos Knight] and [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] perish together? And then leave the monsters on the field to attack me directly?" Caesar said contemptuously, looking at Jaden's [Winged Kuriboh LV6] with an attack power of only 300 points and the even weaker [Wool Token] with an attack power of 0 points. "This level of counterattack is simply not enough!"

"Yes, indeed. I also think that's not enough. It's not enough to show you, Caesar, my will."

Judai's words caught Caesar's attention, causing him to look at Judai and discover that Judai was selecting one of the only two cards in his hand and dragging it onto the field to activate his ability.

"Quick-Play Spell Card, [Forbidden Cloth]: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field. Until the end of this turn, that targeted monster loses 600 ATK, cannot be targeted by card effects, and cannot be destroyed by card effects."

Seeing the card played by Jaden, Kaiser frowned: "However, [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon] will not have its attack power reduced by the effects activated by the opponent."

“I know, so Caesar, the monster I chose isn’t your [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon].” Jaden smiled and pointed to his [C·Hero Chaos Knight] on the field. “The monster chosen by [Forbidden Cloth] is my [C·Hero Chaos Knight]!”

Just as he deliberately gave up the simplest shortcut, [Lava Demon], Jaden once again chose to "let the opponent fire first," actively reducing the attack power of his own monster.

It might seem foolish to only use cards that lower the attack power of your own monsters, but in this duel for true victory, the "strict path" that Jaden is taking has already clearly shown the way to victory!

【C·hero Chaos Knight】(Beloved Hero)【ATK5600→5000】

"Here we go, Caesar!" Jaden's eyes burned as he looked at the [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator] opposite him. "I'm going to use [C·Hero Chaos Knight], which lowers attack power, to attack [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator]!"

"Skydive-Chaos-Break!"

Chapter 1397 Jaden Yuki VS. Caesar of Hell! Light and Darkness Intertwined (Final)

"Use the [C·hero Chaos Warrior] with reduced attack power to attack [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon]!"

"Skydive-Chaos-Break!"

The Forbidden Cloth, transformed into a cape, appeared on the back of C·hero Chaos Knight, as if it were proof of his strength. Standing atop the tallest building in the Skyscraper, C·hero Chaos Knight looked at the invincible Armored Dragon - Electronic Dark Ultimate Dragon before him, and leaped down.

The moonlight transforms into light energy, and the night recharges the power of darkness. As [C·hero Chaos Knight] continuously absorbs the power of light and darkness, the ribbons on his two scarves extend and grow longer.

With a mid-air somersault to adjust his posture, [C·hero Chaos Knight] assumed a flying kick stance. The power of light and darkness harmonized and resonated, ultimately converging at the soles of his feet, and he kicked straight at [Armor Dragon - Electronic Dark Ultimate Dragon]!

Faced with the attack of this tiny being, [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon] naturally retaliated with its strongest attack, intending to annihilate it as quickly as possible. This time, it did not use the light cannon that destroyed [E·hero Core Warrior] before, since the [Armored Electronic Wings] equipped with cannons had already separated from it and been destroyed. At this moment, it used a pair of huge slashing weapons transformed from [Auxiliary Electronic Wings].

However, when the [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon], with an attack power of 5600, met the [C·hero Chaos Knight]'s kick with its massive blade, [C·hero Chaos Knight] suddenly unleashed a new burst of power. Black and white energy transformed into flames burning behind him, propelling [C·hero Chaos Knight] as he maintained his flying kick, and he forcefully smashed the [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon]'s attack, along with its body, to pieces!

"When calculating damage against monsters with higher attack power than itself, [Skyscraper] will provide [E·hero] monsters with an attack power bonus of 1000 points. [C·hero Chaos Knight] can be considered [E·hero]. Its attack power has been reduced by [Forbidden Cloth], and it is currently attacking [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon], which has higher attack power than itself, so it can receive an attack power bonus of 1000 points!"

【Armored Dragon - Electronic Dark Ultimate Dragon】(Armored Electronic Wings)【ATK5600】

【C·hero Chaos Knight】(Beloved Hero)【ATK5600→5000→6000】

"Penetrate, strike, and then win!"

"boom!"

Overwhelmed by an unexpected and powerful force, the [Armor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon], despite its pseudo-all-resistance, could not withstand the power of [C·hero Chaos Knight]. The power of light and darkness erupted at the opening created by [C·hero Chaos Knight], and the invincible [Armor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Ultimate Dragon] fell!

[Ryo Marufuji: 4000→3600LP]

"It's not over yet, Caesar, it's not over yet." Jaden said, picking up the card [Beloved Hero]. "When the monster equipped with [Beloved Hero] destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can send [Beloved Hero] to the Graveyard to activate its third effect!"

"【C·hero Chaos Knight】Can only attack once more!"

"Attack Caesar directly, [C·hero Chaos Warrior]!" Jaden waved his hand, pointing directly at Caesar, who was now devoid of monsters on the field, "Chaos Ki Blast!"
