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

Forest Warrior immediately leaped forward, while Disruptor King, having realized what was happening, reached out and slapped down the enemy.

boom--! !

The Forest Warrior, who was being filmed, was instantly pulverized.

[Yujo Jaden: LP3700→2700]

Jaden then continued, "Since one more Elemental HERO monster has been added to the Graveyard, Shiny Phoenix's attack power has been further increased!"

[Elemental Heroes: Shiny Phoenix - Attack Power 2700 → 3000]

Chapter 52 Parallel World Fusion

'Even at the cost of sacrificing health, don't increase attack power; this guy's a real pain...'

Wan Zhangmu clenched his fist.

Ignoring his ugly expression, Jaden continued, "Battle continues! [Elemental HERO Shining Phoenix] attacks [Disruptor King]! Shining Phoenix!"

drink--!!

The phoenix-man flew up again.

It crashed into the Disruptor King and quickly pierced through its massive body.

boom--! !

The Disruptor King, having lost its balance, exploded instantly.

"Uh......"

Jaden continued, "Since the Shining Phoenix cannot be destroyed in battle, only the Disruptor King was eliminated!"

"And because you do not have any [Disruption] monsters on your field, the effect of [Disruption Land] is no longer active, and the ATK of the monsters on your field is restored to normal."

【武装龙 LV7：攻击力1000→2800，守备力2800→1000】

[Elemental Heroes: Shiny Phoenix - Attack 3000 → 3400, Defense 2500 → 2100]

After that, he inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "Finally, I'll set one card face down, and the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

"At the same time, my Elemental HERO Thunder Giant, which was banished by Paradox Fusion two turns ago, returned to the field in attack position."

A flash of white light, and the figure of the Thunder Giant reappeared on Jaden's field.

[Elemental Hero Thunder Giant: Attack Power 2400]

Now the pressure is on Manjoume again. He only has a level 5 Armed Dragon, and the level 7 Armed Dragon is simply not enough to defeat the Shining Phoenix.

However, he still has a trump card; whether he can completely change the situation depends on the next card draw.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Manjoume Lightning Hand Card: 1→2]

After looking at the hand he had drawn, Manjoume's eyes widened instantly: 'It's here!'

He looked up and revealed the card in his hand, saying, "I activate the Spell Card 'Soul Release' from my hand, banishing a total of five cards from both players' graveyards."

[Manjoume Lightning Hand Card: 2→1]

"I'm excluding the [Disruption Yellow], [Disruption Green], and [Disruption Black] from my own graveyard, and the [Elemental Hero Bubble Man] and [Elemental Hero Forest Man] from your graveyard."

"Because two Elemental HERO monsters left the graveyard, Shiny Phoenix's attack power decreased by 600 points."

[Elemental Heroes: Shiny Phoenix - Attack Power 3400 → 2800]

Jaden shook his head slightly and smiled, "Even if the attack power of the Shining Phoenix is ​​reduced, Armored Dragon still cannot defeat it."

"Then I'll gamble on the next gacha pull..."

As he spoke, Manjou took out a card from the cemetery.

"I activated another effect of [Disrupt Hybrid Race] from the graveyard."

During your Main Phase, you can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 3 of your banished "Disruption" monsters; shuffle those monsters into your Deck. After that, draw 1 card from your Deck.

He put the three disruptive monsters back into the deck, and after shuffling the deck, he drew a card from the top.

"Degeneration!!"

[Manjoume Lightning Hand Card: 1→2]

After glancing at his hand, he inserted it into the Duel Disk without hesitation: "I activate the Spell Card [Monster Resurrection], and by sacrificing one card from my hand, I return a monster from my Graveyard to my hand."

"I discard the [Armed Dragon LV5] from my hand and reclaim the [Despair from Darkness] from the graveyard."

[Manjoume Lightning Hand Card: 2→1]

Misawa: "This is bad. The attack power of [Despair from Darkness] is 2800 points, which is exactly within the range of the attack power of the Phoenix Man and the Thunder Giant."

Asuka frowned: "If it's destroyed by the effect of [Armed Dragon LV7], then Jaden will have no monsters left on the field. And Jaden still has 2700 life points, so the game will be decided by one hit from [Armed Dragon LV7]."

Without hesitation, Manjoume placed the card in the graveyard: "Activate the special effect of [Armed Dragon LV7]: Destroy all monsters with 2800 or less ATK on your opponent's field by discarding [Despair from Darkness] from your hand!"

[Manjoume Lightning Hand Card: 1→0]

"Extinction Light Wheel, fire!"

The three rows of blades on the belly of the armed dragon spun wildly like chainsaws, and three rapidly spinning light blades shot out again and again.

This time, the effect struck the Phoenix Man and Thunder Giant without any obstruction, causing a violent explosion.

boom--! !

The two heroes turned to dust in an instant amidst the flames.

When the smoke cleared, there were no monsters left on Jaden's field.

"Hehehe, hahahaha! Finally, finally we're going to win!"

"Judai, before you embarrass yourself on TV, I now acknowledge your withdrawal, hahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Samejima said unwillingly, "Withdrawal? How could Judai do such a thing?"

Asuka clenched her hands, a little nervous: "Judai..."

Just as everyone was worried about him, Judai laughed and said, "Heh, don't joke around. Why would I forfeit?"

With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Open the face-down card! Continuous Trap Card 'Call of the Dead'! Special Summon 'Elemental HERO Nendoroid' from the Graveyard in Attack Position!"

Om-! !

A flash of golden light, and Nendoroid reappeared on his field.

【Elemental Heroes Nendoroid: Attack Power 800】

Seeing that Judai had summoned a monster again, Manjoume clicked his tongue in displeasure: "Tch, what a persistent guy."

"Then, [Armed Dragon LV7] attacks [Elemental Hero Nendoroid], Armed Impact!"

At his command, the dragon raised its claws again and swiftly struck the clay figure.

boom--! !

The clay figure was instantly shattered into pieces by this blow.

“Uhhh…”

[Yujo Jaden: LP2700→700]

Manjoume sneered, "Now your monster has been destroyed again. You are no match for Armed Dragon."

"That's hard to say."

"Nani?"

Jaden smiled confidently: "My deck still holds many sleeping heroes, and there are plenty of ways to defeat it."

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

Looking at his hand, his smile widened: "I'm going to summon [Dragon Guardian] in Attack Position!"

As he slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a burst of light flashed across the field, and a dragonman wielding a spear and clad in cyan armor was summoned onto the field.

[Dragon Mage Guardian: Attack Power 1800]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

"Due to the monster effect of [Dragon Magician Guardian] when it enters the field, by discarding one card from your hand, add one [Fusion] Normal Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

"My choice is [Parallel World Fusion]!"

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Duel Tournament Ends

Upon hearing the card that Judai had retrieved, Manjoume's smile remained unchanged as he mocked, "Foolish! You can't fuse with just one card."

"Who said that?"

"what?!"

Wan Zhangmu's smile froze instantly.

Judai chuckled lightly, "Have you forgotten the effects of [Miracle Fusion]?"

"Could it be that [Parallel World Fusion] also has a similar effect...!?"

"That's right!"

Jaden then immediately played the card in his hand: "Spell Card [Parallel World Fusion] Activated!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"Using the effect of this card, return the banished Fusion Materials to the Deck and Fusion Summon an Elemental HERO monster."

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhangmu's pupils suddenly contracted. Wu

"They actually used excluded monsters for fusion?!"

"Let's go, Manjoume!"

Jaden returned the two cards to the deck, saying, "The fusion condition is an Elemental HERO monster plus an EARTH monster. I'm returning Elemental HERO Bubbleman and Elemental HERO Forestman to the deck for fusion."

The next moment, Bubble Man and Forest Man appeared on his field at the same time, and quickly transformed into two energies that combined to release a dazzling light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental Hero Earth Warrior]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, light poured into the earth, which instantly cracked open, revealing a jet-black steel warrior.

[Elemental Hero Earth Warrior: Attack Power 2200]

He then flicked his hand and shouted, "Due to Earth Warrior's appearance, its special effect is activated!"

If this card is Fusion Summoned, target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Until the end of this turn, that monster's ATK is halved, and this card gains ATK equal to that monster's ATK.

"What did you say?!"

Wan Zhangmu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Jaden continued, "Under the effect of Earth Warrior, Armed Dragon's attack power drops to 1400 points, while Earth Warrior's attack power increases to 3600 points."

[Armed Dragon LV7: Attack Power 2800 → 1400]

[Elemental Hero Earth Warrior: Attack Power 2200 → 3600]

"Attack power 3600 points?!"

The director realized something was wrong and quickly turned off the cameras.

With a wave of his hand, Judai shouted, "Go! [Dragon Magic Guardian] Attack [Armed Dragon LV7]!"

The Dragon Mage Guardian obeyed the command and immediately threw the spear in his hand, which instantly pierced the armed dragon.

boom--! !

The armed dragon, pierced by the attack, instantly turned to dust.

"Ugh..."
