Duels should be played with a smile.

Leyou raised the Duel Disk in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

"?"

Lan Zhenglong's eyes widened. "Is this even possible?"

"Is there a problem?" Le You asked, looking up expressionlessly.

"I'm not human, but you're a real dog."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Well... I think we can talk about terms."

Lan Zhenglong felt extremely regretful and even wanted to slap himself twice.

How could I have let my guard down and not control what I ate!

The plan unexpectedly succeeded, and Leyou found it quite interesting. With a quick thought, he made a request: "For example, you guys stop slacking off and work diligently for me?"

"...Can I get another one?"

"Just now, I made multiple backups of that video..."

"No! Whatever you say goes!"

Lan Zhenglong had already started thinking about how to tell his three brothers about this when they got back.

I hope I'm okay.

With a satisfied look at the subdued Lan Zhenglong, Le You crossed his arms and nodded slightly: "Alright... let's talk about EMem first."

……

"You know nothing about everything you've said!"

"Take my final attack, then vanish!"

The surging black mist flowed forward, stirring up a pitch-black storm. Outside the storm, Huber stood in front of Judai, slightly out of breath.

The Judai behind Him took a small step back. He hadn't seen Hubert in this state for a long time. The last time... well, never mind, it wasn't a pleasant memory.

After choosing to hand the battle over to Huber, Jaden originally intended to support Huber and was observing the duel.

He was aware of Hubert's strength, but he also had basic "respect" for the attacking enemy.

The fact that someone could find themselves and then make statements that seemed to be directed at them and Hubert shows that they were clearly prepared.

However, after the duel began... Judai was taken aback by Hubel's unexpectedly ferocious attitude.

Despite becoming somewhat berserk, Hubert did not lose the necessary thinking ability of a duelist during the duel; on the contrary, he launched a fierce attack from the very beginning.

The relentless pressure forced the opponent to defend, and after gaining the upper hand, Hubert took a risky move and launched a full-scale attack when the opponent had three backcourt cards on the field.

It's probably because the attack and declaration traps have gradually fallen behind the Jadens, and the back row is usually a distraction trap. The opponent does the opposite, using an obviously obvious back row to pretend to be an attack and declaration trap in order to deceive Ubell.

But Hubert didn't fall for it at all. With a clean and decisive attack, he happily sent away the opponent, who only had a backcourt and no frontcourt.

All that remained was a blank card and a scarlet flower that was withering away.

“Hubel…you just now…” Jaden wanted to praise Hubel’s decisive attack, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that he hadn’t seen Hubel fight in a long time, and he hadn’t had such a simple chat with Hubel in a long time.

For a moment, Judai was a little distracted.

However, Judai's absent-mindedness appeared in a different light in Hubert's eyes.

Just moments before, Hubert had been so aggressive, but he immediately withdrew all his imposing manner, retracting his bat wings as well. He swiftly approached Judai and cautiously began, "Um... Judai, listen to me, I usually don't..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Judai came to his senses, looking at Hubert with a puzzled expression. Hubert looked cautious and timid, like a child caught doing something wrong by his parents.

"I haven't seen your duel in a long time," Jaden said excitedly, his hands unconsciously resting on Huber's shoulders—Hubert was a little taller than Jaden, creating a somewhat awkward position between them.

Jaden needs to look up slightly to make eye contact with Huber. If Huber were even a little bit taller, Jaden would have to stand on tiptoe to keep up.

If any outsiders were to pass by at this time...

Jaden didn't think there was anything wrong with his current appearance. He was very perceptive in many situations, but conversely, in some ways, he was also... in line with the typical characteristics of a Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist.

"Your duel just now was truly spectacular!" Jaden praised, looking directly at Hubert.

As he felt the intense heat emanating from the palms of the Tenth Generation on his shoulders, Hubert's heart stirred slightly.

Normally, it always follows Judai in the form of a spirit. If it weren't for the need to become a physical being in this duel, it might have been a long, long time before it could feel Judai's warmth again.

So...warm.

"Hubert?"

"Ah? Oh... thank you."

He replied somewhat blankly. Hubert, whose brain was overloaded by the heat from Judai, was also stunned. Apart from still feeling Judai's palm, he didn't know what to do.

Judai still didn't notice anything unusual, but he felt that Hubert was a little different than usual today.

Looking outside, Judai nodded slightly: "The rain has stopped. Shouldn't we continue our journey?"

"...good."

Although he was somewhat tempted by the long-lost warmth, Hubert knew that this place was not a place to stay for long. After reluctantly parting from Judai, he hesitated for a moment and did not, as usual, transform back into a spirit and return to Judai. Instead, he chose to retain his physical form and walk side by side with Judai.

After handing the blank card they had just obtained to Judai, Hubel and Judai set off again together.

They had received word that an old friend of theirs had returned.

……

"That's it, that's it! You're exactly the kind of person I like best!"

Despite being at a complete disadvantage, and only needing Caesar to launch a final attack to turn the tide of battle, Galumi's face was filled with an excited smile.

Perhaps... "morbid smile" would be a more appropriate description.

Caesar even noticed that the woman licked her lips with her tongue... For an ordinary woman, this might be considered temptation, but Caesar felt that she genuinely wanted to devour him.

She was like a madwoman immersed in battle, savoring the wonderful sensations that arose from the clash of souls.

"Tch... I can't stand your personality... cough cough cough."

With mixed feelings, Caesar took a half step back. After realizing that no one had come to his side during the duel, he decided not to delay any longer.

In the Xyz Dimension, he already knew about another path for Cyber ​​Dragons, but he was not yet proficient enough to have just embarked on that path. So, when faced with this "crazy woman" who suddenly appeared, he chose to use the fighting style he was familiar with before.

Use absolute power to engage the enemy in the simplest and most brutal clash.

This straightforward fighting style, devoid of any frills, was Caesar's favorite way to fight—however, while exhilarating, it also placed a considerable burden on his body.

He almost lost his right to continue dueling due to a heart attack in the past. If it weren't for the headmaster at the time helping him, the name Caesar might not exist in the dueling world today.

Unfortunately, this only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. He possesses a more resolute will than most people and strength that surpasses most, but his physical condition is worse than that of an ordinary person.

The reason for seeking a new path for the electronic dragon is due to physical considerations.

"Although I don't know who you are, I don't think a guy like you who's a battle maniac would come up with any schemes or tricks."

"If it were before, I wouldn't mind having a second round with you and enjoying the thrill of the battle, but now, I can only ask you to leave the stage... cough cough cough."

"Electronic Terminator Dragon! Eternal Evolutionary Flame!"

Endless light erupted from the mouth of the Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon, and Garmilly, who had no monsters on the field, was defeated without any surprise.

The flames engulfed Garumier's body. After the Electronic Terminator Dragon received the buffs of the restriction removal and power combination, its attack power of up to 16000 was transformed into substantial damage, and the pain it caused was something that ordinary people could not comprehend.

but...

"Hahahaha! That's it! That's the feeling! I like you more and more!"

Her unrestrained laughter revealed that Jialumier was not affected by the pain at this moment; on the contrary, she was enjoying the intense impact that the pain brought her.

Caesar was slightly moved. It wasn't that he couldn't understand this situation... In fact, when he returned to the duel after a long period of recuperation due to heart problems, he also thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of every injury he sustained during the duel.

Only a sufficiently profound stimulus could make him feel again that he was still alive, still alive as a duelist.

But now... watching the flames gradually dissipate, Caesar felt a bit troubled; this kind of madwoman was not easy to deal with.

Besides, isn't this a dark duel? How come she's acting like nothing happened? And how can she laugh so recklessly?

Under Caesar's questioning gaze, Cyber ​​End Dragon's attack finally stopped, and what appeared before him was only a blank card.

There was no sign of the crazy woman he had expected.

"Where did it go?" Caesar instantly became alert. He didn't check the card immediately, but instead looked around and summoned the Cyber ​​Dragon's spirit to protect himself.

But nothing noteworthy happened.

until--

"I like you very much, please accept my gift! I will come to find you again when I return next time!"

A red light suddenly shone in the sky and swiftly entered Caesar's body before he could react.

"This is?!"

There was no chance to stop the red light. Caesar only managed to let out a cry of alarm before he could no longer control his body.

He only felt his body become incredibly hot, and gradually return to his control.

After an unknown amount of time, he regained control of his body, and not only that, he also received an unexpected surprise.

Or rather, this is what the madwoman meant by "gift".

"Although I don't know what you're trying to do... my body is now back to normal, and I'm more than ten times stronger than I was in that duel!"

"I appreciate your kindness. Whatever you want to do next time, I'm always ready to oblige!"

The phantom of the three-headed electronic dragon appeared behind Caesar, but unlike when he trained in the Super Dimension, it did not overlap and upgrade to become Electronic Dragon Infinity. Instead, it merged together and transformed into the form of Electronic Termination Dragon.

Reaching the spot where the madwoman had disappeared, Caesar picked up the blank card. After examining it and finding nothing amiss, he put it in his pocket.

Then, take another step.

"Now, it's time to go back to the academy and tell them that the Caesar of old has returned!"

Chapter 46 I came, and I left again, hehe~

"Helping you out is no problem, I'd even lend a hand for myself, but..."

PlayMaker hesitated.
