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

Judai chuckled and replied, "Then let's destroy the field magic as well."

"What did you say?!"

Tania was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Activate Liquid Man's monster effect at this instant!"

"Since this card is banished as Fusion Material, I can draw two cards from my deck and then discard one card."

"Degeneration!!"

His eyes widened instantly when he saw the two cards.

"I got it..."

After discarding a card from his hand into the graveyard, Jaden immediately revealed another Spell Card: "Quick-Play Spell Card [Mask Change] activated!"

"Send Absolute Zero to the Graveyard and Special Summon the Water-type Masked Hero."

Upon hearing this, Misawa crossed his arms and analyzed, "The water-attribute [Masked Hero] is just mist; that's not enough to deal with Tania's defenses."

"Hehe~, who said I only have one water-attribute [Masked Hero], Mistwater?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Judai said.

“What?!”

Just then, Absolute Zero's armor shattered.

"Henshin! Appear, [Masked Hero Acid]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fragments of the warrior's armor scattered and transformed into a new form, revealing a warrior wearing dark blue armor and wielding an acid pistol.

【Masked Hero Acid Water: Attack Power 2600】

"Let me show you the ultimate hero combination..."

“Roar~.”

Tania curled her lips when she heard Jaden's words, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

At this moment, Jaden waved his arm and shouted, "Absolute Zero's special ability is activated! When this card leaves the field, all monsters on your opponent's field are destroyed!"

"At the same time, due to the appearance of acid, this monster's special effect is activated!"

When this card is Special Summoned, all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field are destroyed, and all monsters on your opponent's field lose 300 ATK.

"Oops!!"

Tania's pupils suddenly contracted.

Asuka exclaimed in amazement, "That's amazing! Absolute Zero destroys all of the opponent's monsters, while Acid Water destroys all of the opponent's Spell Cards and Trap Cards. The combination of these two effects is equivalent to destroying all the cards on the opponent's field. No wonder Jaden called it the strongest combination."

Before long, Acid pulled the trigger, and the water gun instantly shot out a large amount of purple acid, spraying it at the two monsters opposite and the thatched huts of the Amazon.

A piercing hissing sound suddenly rang out all around, and the primitive tribe was instantly corroded and dissolved by the acid.

Roar--! !

ah--!!

Affected by the corrosive power, both Amazonian monsters were also in great pain.

[Amazonian pet tiger/lion: Attack power 2700 → 2200]

[Amazon Queen: Attack power 2600 → 2100]

"Amazonian pet tiger and lion—!? Amazonian queen—!?"

Tania felt heartbroken for the current state of her people.

Seeing this, Judai smiled and continued, "I am a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to see you suffer like this. I will send you on your way now."

Everyone:......

"Because of Absolute Zero's effect, both monsters were destroyed!"

The next moment, the acid covering the two Amazonian monsters froze instantly, turning them into two ice sculptures.

Click click click......

Cracks suddenly spread all over its body, and it shattered into a pile of ice and disappeared.

Jaden: "Now you have no cards on your field."

Tania gritted her teeth: "But I still have 2700 health points, while the acid attack has 2600 points. Even if I am attacked, I will still have health points left."

At this moment, Jaden throws out his last card, "I activate the Spell Card [H-Heart of Fire], Acidic Water's attack power increases by 500 points."

【Masked Hero Acid Water: 2600→3100】

"Attack power 3100 points?!"

Jaden immediately waved his arm and gave the order: "That's it! Acid water, attack Tania directly!"

The acid was then released again, and the water gun was pulled, spraying acid onto the opponent's body instantly.

"Yeah..."

Tania: LP2700→0

Chapter 81 Ocean Duel

"What a wonderful duel!"

clap clap clap!

Manjoume, Daitokujiji, Chronos, and others suddenly appeared from some corner, clapping their hands in congratulations.

Hayato: "Jūdai-kun is definitely the strongest!"

As the duel ended, Tania looked regretfully at Jaden, who was surrounded by onlookers: 'What a pity, such a powerful man is beyond my ability to handle.'

"What a fine duel."

"Let's go, Bass!"

He casually tossed the Seven Star Gate key to Judai, and then, to Misawa's astonishment, it transformed into a one-eyed white tiger.

Um... the two tigers left the arena one after the other.

My condolences! Stay strong, Misawa!

Judai patted Misawa on the shoulder comfortingly, and everyone looked at Misawa with pity, who was on the verge of tears and had no will to live.

And so, the third Seven Stars were also dealt with.

Since this duel was not a Dark Duel, Tania did not suffer any punishment and disappeared after dropping the Dark Item.

......

While Jaden and the others were having lunch in the dormitory cafeteria, Koala Hayato rushed out the door again.

"Oh no, Judai! A submarine has arrived on the shore, and the people who came out of it have challenged you to a duel!"

Wan Zhangmu asked in confusion, "A submarine? Have people from the northern universities come?"

"No, it's much bigger than that one, maybe it's related to the Seven Stars!"

Judai: "Then we'll have to go check it out."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped eating and hurriedly followed Hayato outside.

Upon arriving at the dock, they discovered that the submarine in front of them was indeed much larger than the one from the northern academy, with an estimated length exceeding 100 meters.

A middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, dressed in a naval uniform, stood proudly on the submarine deck, wearing glasses that seemed disproportionate to his large face.

At that moment, he was holding a microphone and enthusiastically shouting to the students gathered on the dock: "You guys from Duel Academy, you all look very energetic!"

However, no one could feel his enthusiasm. It seemed that there was a problem with the equipment, which caused constant popping and static, and the high-frequency vibrations made everyone's heads hurt.

"Ouch—! My ears!"

"It's so noisy, what is this guy trying to do?"

As everyone covered their ears and muttered complaints, the middle-aged man began to introduce himself: "I am Anasis, a merchant who travels the world's oceans! I have come here to challenge you to a duel on the high seas!"

Towards the end, another loud noise occurred, causing everyone to hear "Ocean Duel" as "Dark Duel".

Jaden: "You mean Dark Duel?"

"Correct!"

"So you're the new Seven Stars assassin?"

Anasis seemed not to have heard Jaden's next words, and continued speaking to himself: "I have only one goal: to seize the Three Phantom Demon Cards! For this, Jaden Yuki, I challenge you to a duel!"

"They're after the Three Phantom Demons?"

"They really are from the Seven Stars Organization!"

Thus, the guardians of the key finally recognized (or misunderstood) this person's identity, and their expressions immediately turned serious.

Judging from the submarine beneath Anasis's feet, he likely possesses astonishing wealth. Money means the ability to build a top-tier deck.

As the Seven Stars, they possess terrifying methods and strength, coupled with the most powerful and top-tier card decks.

In everyone's eyes, Anasis's strength is probably unimaginable, and Jaden is likely in danger this time.

If Anasis could hear their thoughts at this moment, he would surely cry out that they were wronged.

"Yuki Jaden, hop on my submarine. I'll take you to a fantastic dueling arena where we'll settle our score!"

Upon hearing Anasis's request, Asuka quickly advised Judai, "Judai, you absolutely mustn't get on his submarine! It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Judai stepped forward and replied, "Thank you for your concern, but since they've specifically mentioned my name, I have no reason to refuse."

Misawa Daichi and Manjoume Inazuma, two onlookers, then approached.

"Okay, I'll go too."

"Don't be the only one showing off, I'm going too."

Asuka: "I'll go too."

And so, the group went to watch Jaden's duel.

......

The group boarded the deck of the submarine in front of them.

The well-informed Misawa suddenly spoke up: "Anastius, that name seems familiar..."

"Wait, I remember now! That man is Anasis of the Puffins, the super trader who dominates eighty percent of the world's oceans!"

Judai stroked his chin and muttered, "Is this guy really that important?"

Misawa: "This person almost never appears in public, so very few people know about this."

Upon hearing this, Judai nodded.

This information is indeed baffling to most people. It doesn't involve a duel or any hot topic that's relevant to daily life, so very few people are paying attention to it.

After entering the submarine, Jaden and the others, led by the submarine crew, arrived at the cockpit, where Anasis was waiting for them.

Anasis turned to the side to show the monitor screen behind him: "This is the best duel stage for you and me!"

The screen he was pointing to was showing a suspended platform inside a sphere, with underwater scenes projected from within the sphere, creating a spectacular view.

......

Shortly after, Jaden and Anasis took their respective spots on the stage.

"Let's fight without delay!"

Anasis set up a deck on a jewel-encrusted, high-end Duel Disk.

"No need for further words, come on!"

Jaden also added his deck to his Duel Disk.

"As expected of those naive young people from school, they're like newborn calves unafraid of tigers!"

The navy man smiled smugly.
