The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Caesar said calmly, "I'm sorry, Judai. All your efforts in this round have been in vain."

Judai didn't feel sorry at all. "It's not that easy to defeat you after all."

"Then I'll cover two more cards, and the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 2]

"And at the end of my turn, Earthman's boost ends, and his attack power returns to its original value."

[Elemental Hero Earthman: Attack Power 5100 → 2500]

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Electronic Terminator Dragon

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 2→3]

After glancing at his hand, Caesar said, "Judai, because you gave it your all, I will also give it my all in return, as a sign of respect for your duel."

"Oh, then bring it on!"

After Caesar nodded slightly, he continued, "First, I will activate the effect of [Armored Electronic Wings] again. [Cyber ​​Dragon]'s attack power will decrease by 1000 points, and one monster on the field will be destroyed."

[Electronic Dragon: Attack Power 1100 → 100]

"Disappear, Earthman! Punish Ganon—!"

The two cannons on the back of the electronic dragon fired light bullets again, heading towards Earthman, and it looked like it was about to be blown up like the previous monsters.

However, at that moment, Judai swung his arm and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! Open the face-down card, activate the Quick-Play Spell [Fusion Release]!"

Earthman instantly split into two bodies, transforming back into Oceanman and Forestman, and the beam of light passed right between the two heroes.

"Did we escape unscathed...?"

In that case, Caesar inserted one of his cards into the Duel Disk.

"Then I will activate the spell card [Machine Copy] from my hand."

You can target 1 Machine-Type monster you control with 500 or less ATK; Special Summon up to 2 monsters with the same name as that face-up monster from your Deck.

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 3→2]

"I'll choose Cyber ​​Dragon, of course. Special Summon two more Cyber ​​Dragons from my Deck."

Buzz——!!

Two golden lights flashed, and two more electronic dragons were projected.

[Electronic Dragon: Attack Power 2100] ×2

Seeing this, Asuka exclaimed, "What an amazing combination! By using the effect of the Armored Electronic Wings to reduce the attack power of the Cyber ​​Dragon to below 500 points, they were able to activate the Mechanical Copy Technique to summon two more Cyber ​​Dragons. With this, Akira has gathered all the materials to summon the Ace Monster."

Then Caesar continued, "Next, I deactivate the [Armored Electronic Wing] equipment card and Special Summon it back to the field as a monster."

The armor on the electronic dragon instantly separated and returned to the front.

[Armored Electronic Wing: Defense 2000]

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand to fuse the three [Cyber ​​Dragons] on the field."

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 2→1]

Jaden's eyes narrowed. "They've arrived?!"

The next second, the three mechanical dragons merged into a vortex, releasing a blinding white light.

"Special Summon [Cyber ​​Dragon] in Attack Position!"

Under Caesar's sharp gaze, the three-headed mechanical dragon descended upon his field through a beam of white light.

[Electronic Terminator Dragon: Attack Power 4000]

"So it really is the [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] with penetrating damage capabilities...."

The appearance of this monster was exactly as Jaden had predicted.

Fortunately, he was prepared. "Activate the trap card, [Messenger of Peace]!"

"During this turn, my monsters will not be destroyed by battle, and all battle damage they take will be reduced to zero."

Upon hearing this, Caesar calmly said, "Hmph, you're quite tenacious too. I must commend you."

After glancing at the card in his hand that resembled a Fusion Spell Card, he inserted it into the Duel Disk.

"In that case, I'll just set one last card over the wall, and then the turn ends."

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 1→0]

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

After placing the card he drew into his left hand, Jaden reached his right hand toward the graveyard and said, "During my Standby Phase, the special effects of Ocean Warrior and Forest Warrior on the field are activated."

"Add [Elemental HERO Blaze] and [Fusion] from your graveyard to your hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 5]

"Then I merged Ocean Man and Forest Man on the field once again."

"Special Summon [Elemental HERO Earthman] in Attack Position!"

With his renewed fusion, Oceanus and Forestman were reunited as one.

[Elemental Hero Earthman: Attack Power 2500]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 4]

Immediately afterwards, Jaden placed the other card he had retrieved onto the Duel Disk, saying, "I summon Elemental HERO Flameman once again in Defense Position."

Om-! !

After a flash of light, Blaze was projected back onto the field.

[Elemental Hero: Blaze Warrior - Defense 1800]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"And the moment [Elemental HERO Flamebringer] is introduced, its other special effect activates, adding one [Fusion] card from the deck to the hand."

Jaden immediately played the second Fusion Spell Card after obtaining it from his deck.

"Activate the Spell Card [Fusion] once more, and send [Elemental HERO Wilder] and [Elemental HERO Necromancer] from your hand to the Graveyard."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 1]

Suddenly, a dark-skinned barbarian and a demon-like warrior appeared on his field at the same time.

Then the two heroes transformed into a fusion vortex and merged into one.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental Hero Necromancer]!"

Soon, a shaman with red hair and wearing a mask appeared on his field.

[Elemental Heroes Necromancer: Attack Power 1900]

Asuka exclaimed, "So powerful! It summoned two fusion monsters in just one turn."

Caesar's lips curled into a slight smile. "Want to use Earthman's effect again to boost your attack power?"

Judai smiled and shook his head, replying, "No, this time is slightly different..."

Then he waved his hand and shouted, "At this moment, due to the necromancer's summoning, this monster's special ability is activated!"

If this card is Special Summoned, target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that monster. Then, Special Summon 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard to their field.

He pointed at the three-headed mechanical dragon opposite him and shouted, "Disappear, [Electronic Terminator Dragon]!"

"Don't even think about succeeding! Quick-attack spell, [Fuse Dispel] activated!"

The cover beneath Caesar's feet was quickly lifted.

His three mechanical dragons on the field instantly split into three electronic dragons.

[Electronic Dragon: Attack Power 2100] ×3

"You dodged it... Well then, let's fight!"

The tenth generation launched an attack directly.

"Take this! [Elemental Hero Earthman] attacks [Armored Electronic Wing], Earth Impact!"

Earthman immediately swooped down and flew over, smashing through the armored electronic wings in a Superman-like manner.

boom--! !

Caesar watched coldly as his monster was defeated.

"End of round."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Combination of Power

"It seems your time has come to an end, Judai..."

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Marufuji Ryo's cue cards: 0→1]

Following Caesar IX's latest gacha pull, coffins once again appeared beneath his feet.

"Since two turns have passed since I used the Time Capsule, this card is destroyed during my Preparation Phase, and the sealed card is added to my hand."

boom--! !

The time capsule shattered instantly, revealing the card inside.

After taking the card into his hand, he said coldly, "Judai, my last trump card is finally about to be revealed."

"Hey~, what will happen? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Then it's time to go, Judai!"

"bring it on!"

The next moment, Caesar raised the card in his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card [Power Bond] from my hand!"

"This card can be used for the Fusion Summon of a Machine-Type monster, allowing the three Cyber ​​Dragons on the field to fuse again."

The three electronic dragons once again emitted a blinding light.

"Summon [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] in Attack Stance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Electronic Terminator Dragon reappeared from the light.

[Electronic Terminator Dragon: Attack Power 4000]

After the three-headed mechanical dragon appeared, Caesar continued, "Monsters Special Summoned through the effect of [Power Bond] gain an ATK equal to their original ATK value."

"In other words, the attack power of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] will double, increasing to 8000 points."

[Electronic Terminator Dragon: Attack Power 4000 → 8000]

Seeing this, Asuka clenched her hands nervously, thinking, "8000 attack power... plus the piercing effect of [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon], Jaden is in danger this time."

"However, at the end of the turn that [Power Fusion] is activated, it will deal damage to yourself equal to the original ATK of the Fusion Monster."

"If Jaden survives the next attack, then Akira will be the one who loses. I never expected that Akira would be forced to make a desperate gamble by Jaden."

As she was expressing these sentiments, Caesar finally made his move.

He swung his arms and shouted, "[Electronic Terminator Dragon] attacks [Elemental Hero Blaze], Eternal Evolution Flame—!!"

The three heads of the Electronic Terminator Dragon opened their mouths wide, and three beams of light were shot out at the same time, heading towards the opposite field.

At the same time, Jaden quickly pressed the button to face down the card, "Activate the trap card, [Half Damage Unbreakable]!"

boom--! !

As soon as he activated the trap card, flames instantly engulfed Blaze, causing a powerful explosion.
