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

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone else was completely baffled. They had never seen the card tucked inside the Jade Book, so they didn't know what she was talking about, and Asuka didn't intend to say it now.

At the same time, after summoning Winged Kuriboh, Jaden immediately declared the end of his turn.

With a voice that was no longer aged, Kagemaru said disdainfully, "Hmph~, still not planning to give up?"

"Do I even need to say it?"

"Don't underestimate me, Jaden! This weak monster's effect is that the player takes zero damage during the turn it's destroyed. You're just stalling for time!"

"Let's go, it's my turn!"

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 0 → 1]

After drawing a card, Kagemaru continued, "Based on the effect of the Field Spell [Paradise Lost], I will draw two more cards from my deck."

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 1 → 3]

"Go! [Divine Flame Emperor Uria], Super Flame Wave!"

At his command, the crimson dragon's gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth, once again spewed forth a raging inferno that destroyed everything.

Curry—!! (>○<)

The chestnut ball was burned to ashes with a bang.

"You've been a huge help, buddy!"

Jaden hurriedly shouted, "At this moment, the effect of the deck's [Philosopher's Stone - Sabashir] is that when [Winged Kuriboh] is destroyed, this card from the deck is added to your hand."

A card automatically popped out of the deck, and Jaden reached out and took it.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

"Hmm? That card is...?" Kagemaru frowned, sensing that the card was not simple.

Judai explained to him, "This card was specially prepared for me by Master Daitokuji. With it, you can't beat me."

Kagemaru sneered upon hearing this, saying disdainfully, "Daitokuji? That guy is ultimately just a pawn. What cards could that guy possibly have to defeat the Three Phantom Demons?"

"Then you'll see what my turn is like!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 5]

After drawing a card, Jaden first drew three cards from his left hand and revealed them: "I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand to fuse Winged Man and Hot Girl on my hand."

"Appear, [Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]!"

As the fusion of light flashed, the model worker Flame Winged Warrior suddenly appeared on his field.

[Elemental Heroes Flame Wingman: Attack Power 2100]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 2]

Chapter 111 The Power of the Philosopher's Stone, Three Illusionary Demons Appear Simultaneously

After watching Flame Wingman land on his field, Jaden raised the card he had just searched and said, "Next, I will activate the effect of [Philosopher's Stone - Sabashir], paying half of my Life Points to trade any card from my Deck or Graveyard with it. This effect can be used three times."

"what?"

"The first card I envisioned is [Fusion Recycling]!"

A flash of light appeared on the card, and it transformed into another card.

[Yujo Jaden: LP2400→1200]

"Then I activate the Spell Card [Fusion Recycle] from my hand, adding one [Fusion] from my Graveyard and one material used in a Fusion Summon to my hand. Through this effect, the dormant Fusion and Electroman from the Graveyard return to my hand."

"And according to the effect of the Philosopher's Stone, after the exchanged card is activated, the Philosopher's Stone returns to the hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 4]

Manjoume Lightning exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible!? How can there be such a cheating magic card?!"

Marufuji Ryo, arms crossed, analyzed: "Activating its effect three times, one card is equivalent to three cards, and it can be chosen at will. What a terrifying card..."

Misawa Daichi exclaimed, "Is this the miraculous power of the Philosopher's Stone? As expected of Master Daitokuji, he was really well-prepared."

"Mama mia!"

Apart from Asuka, who was mentally prepared, everyone else was shocked by the ridiculously fake effect.

Jaden immediately threw out two cards retrieved from the graveyard. "Go, Kagemaru! I activate [Fusion] again, and Flame Wingman and Electroman on the field fuse!"

The figures of the two heroes overlapped, transforming into a swirling vortex that merged into one, instantly releasing a dazzling radiance.

"Appear, Flash Flame Wingman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior clad in silver armor spread his large wings and appeared before everyone's eyes, emitting a faint glow.

【Elemental Heroes: Flash Flame Wingman - Attack Power 2500】

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 2]

Jaden clenched his fist and continued, "The effect of the Flash Flame Wingman is that its attack power increases by 300 points for each [Elemental Hero] in the graveyard."

"I have eight in my graveyard, so my attack power has increased to 4900 points!"

[Elemental Heroes: Flash Flame Wingman - Attack Power 2500 → 4900]

Kagemaru was shocked to see this and exclaimed, "The attack power is 4900 points!? But as long as [Thunder Emperor Hamon] is on the field in defense position, it cannot attack any monster other than itself."

Judai shrugged indifferently upon hearing this: "It's fine. Flash Flame Wingman also has an effect of dealing damage to the opposing player equal to the original attack power of a Battle Destroyer Monster."

"What?!" Kagemaru gritted his teeth.

Then Jaden raised the Philosopher's Stone again and said, "It's not over yet. I'll pay half of my life points in exchange for the second card in my deck. The card I'm imagining is..."

The card image flashed with light again, transforming into the card he had chosen—[Shape Change]!

[Yujo Jaden: LP1200→600]

"That way, there will be absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

Jaden then pointed at the opposite side and roared, "That should take care of it! Go, Flashfire Wingman, Flash Shot!"

At his command, the Flash Flame Wingman flew into the air, then made a fist with his hands, and the fluorescent light condensed into a ball between his hands.

The next second, Flash Flame Wingman launched the light bullet in his hand, aiming to blast towards Thunder Emperor.

boom--! !

The Thunder Emperor was instantly blasted into pieces by this attack.

"The special effect of the Flash Flame Wingman has activated, dealing damage equal to Harmon's attack power to you!"

The Flash Flame Wingman immediately descended in front of Shadow Maru, releasing a dazzling light.

"Oh!"

"Is the battle finally about to be decided!?"

However, just when everyone thought it was over, the scattered remains of the Thunder Emperor on the ground suddenly floated up and turned into a barrier in front of Yingmaru.

Judai frowned and demanded, "What's going on?"

Kagemaru explained to him with a cold laugh, "Hmph, unfortunately, the turn when Hamon's defense position is destroyed, all the damage I take becomes zero."

"What? The damage became zero...?"

In this case, Jaden will not be able to use the [Masked Hero] quick attack tactic in this turn.

"Then I'll cover one more card, and the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

Now it's Kagemaru's turn to play his card.

"My turn!"

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 3 → 4]

After drawing the cards, Kagemaru first threw out a spell card and shouted, "First, I activate the spell card [Monster Resurrection], Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard!"

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"Awaken once more, [Thunder Emperor Hamon]!"

Rumble——! !

The raging thunder roared once more, and the golden skeletal troll returned to his field.

[Thunder Emperor Hamon: Defense 4000]

Then, Kagemaru revealed his second spell card, "Next, activate the spell card [Martyr of the Phantom Demon]!"

"When Uria or Hamon is on the field, send two or more cards from your hand except this card to the Graveyard as a cost to Special Summon three 'Martyr of the Phantoms' Tokens to your field in Attack Position."

Buzz buzz—! !

Three beams of light flashed in succession, and three jet-black, thin-winged demons were projected at the feet of the Phantom Demon.

[Martyr of the Phantom Demon Derivative: Attack Power 0] ×3

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 3 → 0]

Upon seeing this, Jaden immediately became alert. "Three monsters... Is the final Phantom Demon coming...?"

At this moment, Kagemaru raised his head and said with a crazed expression, "Unforgivable! The sin of angering the Phantom Demon, you shall bear the consequences with your body!"

"I activate the effect of the Field Spell [Paradise Lost] and draw two cards from my deck."

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 0 → 2]

"And sacrifice the three [Martyr of the Phantom Demon] tokens on the field to summon the final Phantom Demon!"

The three demons disappeared one by one in the light effects.

Rumble——! !

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky above the island grew thicker and thicker, with flashes of lightning and thunder from time to time.

"Appear, and then reveal your strongest form!"

The island echoed with Kagemaru's impassioned voice, followed by a pillar of azure light descending from the sky behind him, shattering the earth in an instant.

"The strongest phantom demon, [Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel]!"

Woohoo!

A colossal, azure-blue demon king stood majestically upon the earth, roaring.

【Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel: Attack Power 4000】

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 2 → 1]

Asuka: "This is the third Phantom Demon..."

Ryo Marufuji: "Finally, have all three Phantom Demons been gathered?"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat; the simultaneous appearance of the three phantom demons meant that the duel was about to reach its final stage.

Chapter 112 Suppressing the Illusion Demon

With the three Phantom Demons gathered on the field, the energy of Duel Monsters from all over the world converged on the island, clearly indicating that the speed at which the Phantom Demons absorbed power had greatly increased.

"Oh no! If this continues, the Duel Monster will be destroyed!"

"Think of something quickly, Tenth Generation!"

Others can only watch anxiously, unable to do anything.

"Hahahaha, before the ultimate power of the Three Phantom Demons, nothing we do is of any use!" Kagemaru laughed wildly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

'what to do? '

Judai didn't know what to do, but he was unwilling to just stand by and do nothing.

Suddenly, a card flew out of Jaden's arms, radiating dazzling light, dispelling the power of the Phantom Demon, and causing all the Duel Monster's energy to return to its original position.
