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

Everyone was immediately shocked.

Jaden clenched his fist. "Using the effect of this card 2, I Special Summon Elemental HERO Bubble Fighter from Deck 3 in 5 ATK Position."

Om-! !

A flash of white light, and Bubble Man was instantly projected, accompanied by a large number of bubbles.

[Elemental Heroes Bubble Hero: Attack Power 800]

"A monster with an attack power of only 800 points?! Such a huge price was paid to summon such a weak monster?!"

Anasis looked disdainful.

Jaden shrugged and continued, "Since I don't have any other cards when Bubble Man appears, I can draw two cards from my deck."

"Eh~?"

Anasis paused for a moment.

"Degeneration!!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 0 → 2]

After this gacha pull, Jaden's lips curled into a wide grin: "Here it comes!"

He then revealed his second spell card: "Activate Miracle Fusion, banish monsters from the field and graveyard, and summon an Elemental HERO Fusion Monster."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

"I'm excluding the [Elemental Hero Fiery Knight] and [Elemental Hero Flame Lady] from the graveyard."

The crimson warrior and the lady appeared together on the field, then transformed into two flames and merged into one.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental Hero Blazing Flame Warrior]!"

The next moment, the flames blazed, and a warrior with thick, flame-like arms was born from the fire. Its hands and chest were molten lava-like, indicating that its interior was made of lava.

【Elemental Heroes Blazing Flame Warrior: Attack Power 2300】

Jaden looked at the Flame Hero beside him and chuckled, "Since you're using water, then I'll use the power of magma to burn your monster to ashes!"

Anasis scoffed: "What nonsense are you talking about? My [Sea Dragon God - Neo-Tidalus] on the field has a noble 2900 attack power. That monster's attack power is not enough."

"Not always!"

"What did you say?!"

While Anasis was still in a daze, Jaden revealed his last magic card: "Equipment Spell [Nitrogenation Device] Activated!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"This card must be equipped to your opponent's monster, so I equipped it to [Neo-Tidalus].

As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanical device connected to a gas cylinder appeared and quickly slipped around the neck of the Sea Dragon God.

The navy officer frowned upon seeing this and questioned, "What do you want to do?"

Ignoring the opponent's doubts, Jaden waved his arm without hesitation and gave the order: "Battle begins! I'll use [Elemental HERO Blazing Flame Warrior] to attack [Sea Dragon God - Neo-Tidalus]! Burning Flames!"

Under his command, Blazing Flame Man spread his arms, revealing the magma on his chest, and instantly released scorching flames.

Everyone was taken aback by what they saw.

"Are you crazy?! You're using a monster with even lower attack power to attack my monster?! Fight back! Create Impact!"

The two dragon heads of the Sea Dragon God immediately opened their mouths, and two beams of azure light shot out, colliding with the flames released by the opponent.

boom--! !

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the low-attack-power Blazing Flame Warrior will be defeated by the Sea Dragon God.

However, Judai revealed a triumphant expression: "I just said I would use the power of magma to burn your Sea Dragon God to ashes!"

"When [Elemental Hero Blazing Flame Warrior] battles a water-type monster, that monster's attack power increases by 1000 points."

[Elemental Heroes Blazing Flame Warrior: Attack Power 2300 → 3300]

Anasis's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this: "Attack power has actually increased to 3300 points?! Oh no!!"

The Blazing Flame Man, whose attack power surpassed that of his opponent, increased his firepower and pushed the attack wave back.

boom--! !

Another explosion rang out, and the Sea Dragon God was instantly incinerated by the flames and blasted into dust.

"Uh......"

Anasis: LP4000→3600

"After the attack, Blazing Flame Man's attack power returns to normal."

[Elemental Heroes Blazing Flame Warrior: Attack Power 3300 → 2300]

After the smoke cleared, the nitrification device that had just been fitted onto the Sea Dragon God remained on the field.

"This is......"

Anasis looked at the time bomb floating in front of him and had a bad feeling.

Soon, this ominous premonition came true.

Judai waved his hand and shouted, "At this moment, activate the effect of the equipment magic [Nitrogenation Device]!"

"When the equipped monster of this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the equipped monster's ATK."

“What—!?”

The man was so startled that he took a step back, his voice rising several decibels.

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This combination is equivalent to the damage effect of Flame Wingman."

Daichi Misawa: "[Sea Dragon God - Neotydarus] has an attack power of 2900 points..."

Manjoume Lightning: "The damage to Anasis is 2900 points... As expected of Judai, his gacha luck is unmatched."

At this moment, Judai continued, "Please accept my concern, old man!"

The next moment, the nitration device detonated instantly.

boom--! !

"Ughh ...

Anasis: LP3600→700

"It's not over yet! I still have Bubble Man left to attack!"

"Alas--!"

Jaden waved his arm again and shouted, "Go! Bubble Man, attack the player directly! Bubble Shot!"

Under his command, Bubble Man raised his right hand, and the high-pressure water gun on his arm sprayed the water stored in the tank on his back, instantly spraying the water onto the uncle's body.

“Uhhh…”

The damage was just one point more than his health, instantly wiping him out.

Anasis: LP700→0

Chapter 84 I could tell you weren't human at first glance!

After the duel ended, Anasis, with tears in his eyes, transferred the money to Jaden's card as agreed, and then released Jaden and his companions.

Everyone left Anasis's submarine safely and returned to the Duel Academy.

Inside a dark cave, four men and one woman were discussing something.

A sexy woman with long, straight hair, holding a whip, looked troubled. After hesitating for a moment, she said to the group of men referred to as "Big Brother," "Zarug, should we really make a move? Those guys are not easy to deal with..."

The blindfolded man named Zarug was staring intently at a laptop in front of him, which was playing a recording of Jaden and others' duels.

Zarug sighed: "Mina, and everyone else! Of course I know your concerns, but we are mercenaries, and we can't refuse the commissions we've accepted."

"If you really lack confidence, then try to steal those Seven Star Gate keys! That would count as completing the mission... right?"

In the end, he wasn't entirely sure either.

"Besides, we are the Black Scorpion Thieves. Is it reasonable for us to be afraid of those humans?"

"That's right, we are the Black Scorpion Thieves!"

"Yeah, let's fucking kill him, boss!"

"""oh--!!"""

......

Over the next few days, Jaden and Asuka spent time alone together, Jaden helping Asuka improve her deck and, taking advantage of the extra money, helping her buy some powerful cards online.

The two enjoyed it immensely, and during this time their relationship gradually warmed up, becoming so intimate that they were almost about to kiss.

Every day, Judai would accompany Asuka and everyone else to visit Asuka's brother, Tenjouin Fubuki.

When Jaden and his friends arrived at the infirmary as usual, Asuka stood at the door with a worried look on her face, while Fubuki Tenjouin stood at the edge of the corridor, gazing blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Jaden stepped forward and handed Asuka a cup of milk tea he had bought on the way, asking, "Asuka, how is your brother?"

"He still doesn't seem to remember anything? I wonder when he'll get better," Asuka sighed worriedly.

Judai nodded upon hearing this. "Things will get better someday, so don't worry."

After exchanging pleasantries, Master Daitokuji suddenly walked over from behind. He coughed twice and said, "Listen up, everyone~ Meow, I have someone to introduce to you."

Everyone noticed that a middle-aged man wearing a coat and a detective hat, who looked quite capable, was following behind Daitokuji.

His right eye was covered by a gold eyepatch engraved with the Eye of Uggat, and it appeared to be injured.

He politely removed his hat and introduced himself to the crowd: "Hello, I am Inspector Magure."

Daitokuji, unusually serious, explained, "Three of the keys to the Seven Star Gate have already been stolen, so I discussed it with Dean Samejima and asked a professional police officer for help."

"That's right, that's exactly what happened. I'm here to offer you advice on how to keep the keys safe and to help you figure out the best place to hide them."

The tenth generation seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

He had suspected Daitoku-ji Temple before, and the person Daitoku-ji Temple introduced at this time might not be a simple person.

So he stroked his chin, carefully examining the man who called himself 'Magulei'. 'This man seems vaguely familiar; where have I seen him before?'

Magure felt uneasy under Judai's gaze. "W-What's wrong, classmate?"

Jaden lowered his hand, stared at him seriously, and said, "You're not human, are you?"

Everyone: Huh????

Magure's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed a little guilty, his voice weakening: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not be human?"

"Stop pretending, I can tell you're not human at first glance!"

Jaden finally remembered who the person in front of him was, and said with a half-smile, "Although the eye patch you are wearing is different, your appearance is clearly that of [Leader Zarug], and I can also tell that the eye patch you are wearing is a Dark Artifact. So I am certain that, officer, you are not human, but a materialized Duel Monster."

"So, what he just suggested was actually to find out where we hid the key?"

"So that he can find time to steal it?"

"So he must be the fourth of the Seven Stars!"

The others immediately realized what was happening and tacitly surrounded 'Magulei'.

Magure's pupils contracted sharply, his scalp tingled, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

He was indeed a dueling spirit, and his true identity was indeed [Leader Zarug]. But he had absolutely no idea how his flawless disguise had been exposed.

However, he could also see that the others had completely believed what Judai had said.

Since he could no longer hide it, he simply stopped pretending.

Zhalug then whistled.

Four figures who had been waiting for a long time suddenly jumped out upon hearing the sound.

"Boss! We're here!!"

The four men varied in height and build, and were all dressed in the same style of tight-fitting clothing.
