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

Manjoume Lightning immediately looked at the card in his hand: "Disruption Yellow, you've recovered?!"

He discovered that Disruptive Yellow, which had turned into a skeleton on the card, had regained its physical form, and others also found that the Duel Monsters in their decks had regained some life.

"Impossible!? The power of the Illusion Demon has been sealed!?" Kagemaru stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

It is utterly unforgivable that an ant, whom the Three Phantom Demons regard as an insignificant being, would dare to steal the power that allowed them to revive.

At this moment, Judai, who was completely bewildered, looked at the card floating in front of his chest.

"This is... Camilla's card?" Jaden subconsciously reached out and caught the blank magic card.

'She once said that this abandoned [Gate of Illusions] could serve as some kind of medium; could she be referring to this sealing power?'

"Yes, this is the Gate of Illusions, a gateway connecting to the power of illusions. Since it's a gateway, it possesses the ability to sever the power of illusions, and even to extract and banish that power."

'And the Gate of Illusions was influenced by my unknown power, resulting in this card bearing my mark. In other words, I can control the power of the Illusions myself?'

Thinking of this, Judai's breathing became heavy.

Perhaps he could find a way to take in the Three Phantoms, but that would have to wait until after the enemy is defeated.

Putting away the card, Jaden shouted, "Alright, Kagemaru! Let the duel continue. Bring on whatever moves you have!"

Upon hearing this, Kagemaru sneered, "Your monster can't defeat the strongest phantom demon. Pay for your sin of fooling the phantom demon with your life!"

He clenched his fist, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Rabiel's effect activated!"

"Offer up two monsters on the field as tributes, and add their ATK to Rabiel's ATK for this turn. Now, let the power of the three Phantom Demons merge into one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uriah and Hamon transformed into two enormous streams of energy that poured into Rabiel.

【Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel: Attack Power 4000 → 11000】

"Attack power... 11000 points!?"

"how come!?"

"Mama mia!"

"Tenth generation..."

At a time when the audience was pessimistic.

Without further hesitation, Kagemaru swung his hand down and gave the order: "Go! Rabiel, crush the Flash Flame Wingman, Heavenly Crushing Fist!"

The Demon King then raised his right claw, gathering demonic energy on it, which emitted a faint blue light. He then swung it forcefully down at the Flash Flame Wingman.

Seeing this, Jaden shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! Quick-Play Spell [Form Change] activated! Recycle Flash Flame Wingman back to the Deck and Special Summon a [Masked HERO] of the same Level as it!"

"Henshin! Ride the storm, [Masked Hero Kamikaze]!"

The armor of the Flash Flame Wingman shattered instantly, and a green figure wearing a white cape leaped up, dodging the Demon Emperor's claws.

boom--! !

Rabiel's attack missed its mark, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Then Kamikaze landed on the ground and assumed a protective stance.

【Masked Hero Kamikaze: Defense 1900】

Jaden then explained to the other party, "The divine wind cannot be destroyed by battle, and Laviel's attack is useless."

"And because the card swapped with Philosopher's Stone was used, Philosopher's Stone returned to the hand from the deck."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

"Hmph, what a cunning little devil!"

Kagemaru continued, "At this moment, the effect of [Phantom Lord Rabiel] activates. When your opponent summons a monster, Special Summon the same number of [Phantom Tokens] to your field."

*Buzz!*

A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and a smaller version of the Phantom Demon was projected at the feet of the Phantom Demon King.

[Phantom Derivative: Defense 1000]

"Discard one last trap card and awaken once more, [Divine Flame Emperor Uria]!"

A raging inferno shot into the sky, and the Divine Flame Emperor was reborn from the ashes once more.

[Divine Flame Emperor Uria: Defense 4000]

[Kagemaru's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"That concludes my turn. Rabiel's attack power has returned to normal."

【Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel: Attack Power 11000 → 4000】

Whew!

Judai breathed a sigh of relief. He had survived this round, and the outcome was already in his hands.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

"I summon Clayman!"

After a flash of golden light, the clay figure was instantly projected onto the field.

【Elemental Heroes Nendoroid: Attack Power 800】

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

"Rabiel's effect activated!"

Another small Phantom Demon Emperor appeared in front of Shadow Maru.

[Phantom Derivative: Defense 1000] ×2

"Then activate the effect of Philosopher's Stone, pay half of your life points, swap the card for [Miracle Fusion] and activate it!"

[Yujo Jaden: LP600→300]

"This card can be used to Special Summon an Elemental HERO by banishing Fusion Materials from the field and Graveyard. I will then Fusion Summon Wingman, Hot Lady, Bubbleman from the Graveyard and Clayman from the field."

The four heroes of the natural elements merged into the vortex, releasing a rainbow-colored radiance.

"Appear, [Elemental Heroes: Immortal]!"

The immortal warrior, shining like gold, descended upon Jaden through the light.

"The effect of Immortal is that this card gains 300 ATK for each monster with the same attribute as this card on the opponent's field. This card is also treated as a [Wind] [Water] [Fire] [Earth] attribute card, so its ATK increases by 300."

[Elemental Heroes: Immortal Warrior - Attack Power 2900 → 3200]

[Phantom Derivative: Defense 1000] ×3

"It's not over yet. After the effect of Philosopher's Stone is used three times, this card can be equipped to Immortal as an Equip Card, and its ATK will be multiplied based on the number of monsters on the opponent's field."

"You have five monsters on the field, therefore its attack power is..."

A long-handled broadsword quickly took shape in the hands of the Immortal Knight.

[Elemental Heroes: Immortal Warrior - Attack Power 3200 → 16000]

"How could this be?! It's 16000 points?!"

"This is the final blow, the ultimate sword Saberhir!"

At Judai's command, Immortal Warrior immediately raised his greatsword and leaped onto the Demon Emperor's head. With a single swing, he cleaved the Demon Emperor in two.

boom--! ! !

The unbalanced power of the Illusionary Demon Emperor caused a violent explosion.

"Ughh ...

[Kagemaru: LP1700→0]

"Impossible! The Three Phantom Demons were actually defeated!?" Kagemaru collapsed to the ground, his voice filled with disbelief.

After the resurrection ritual of the three Phantom Demons failed, they had to dissipate the essence they had just absorbed. Kagemaru could only watch helplessly as the Phantom Demons disappeared from his sight, and the gloom in the sky also dissipated.

"Great! Jaden won!"

"Well done, Judai!"

Everyone cheered as they watched Judai turn the tide and win.

"Do not!!"

With a scream, Yingmaru's life force rapidly dissipated, and he reverted to his original emaciated, white-haired old man.

"The power of the Illusion Demon is truly amazing... Oh, right!"

Jaden pulled out the blank card that had just been so helpful, wanting to test his earlier guess.

Please, you have to succeed!

As if responding to the will of the Jaden, the blank card once again released its dazzling brilliance.

The next moment, a demonic stone gate suddenly rose from the ground in front of Jaden.

Chapter 113 The Seven Stars Incident Ends, Graduation Duel

"Isn't that the Gate of Illusions? Why is it...?"

"Could it be that the Three Phantom Demons are still not giving up?"

The sudden change startled everyone.

Judai ignored their reactions and raised the card in his hand.

"I'll accept that power!"

The next second, the phantoms of the three Phantom Demons reappeared, and at the same time, the Demon Stone Gate opened, unleashing a powerful suction force.

'''roar--!!'''

The three Phantom Demons' own power was uncontrollably taken away by the Phantom Demon Gate and injected into blank cards, while the three Phantom Demon Cards in Kagemaru's hand gradually turned white, becoming three blank cards that had lost their Phantom Demon power.

The blank card in Jaden's hand was split into three, becoming the three new Phantom Demon Cards.

'The three Phantom Demons were killed? And the newly born Phantom Demons no longer possess the same evil power as before!'

The voice of Daitokuji suddenly rang in Judai's ears, and he was stunned for a moment. "Daitokuji?"

A phantom of Daitoku-ji appeared before Judai, 'Well done. You truly are the strongest alchemist I chose.'

Of course, Kagemaru heard Daitokuji's words: "No, no! My Three Phantom Demon Cards! Without their power, I can't regain my youth, like you young people!"

"That's enough, Chairman Kagemaru. We've hurt too many people in our pursuit of immortality. It's time to stop. We old folks are better off doing something meaningful for future generations, atone for our mistakes, than living a life of quiet desperation."

"Lonely... Yes, it's more meaningful..." Under Daitokuji's barrage of words, Kagemaru's cloudy eyes regained some light.

Judai simply watched coldly without saying a word, showing no concern for whether Kagemaru could be exonerated or not.

'Well! After all, he's someone Daitoku-ji cares about, so let's give him face. I won't interfere with the punishment.'

As he was thinking this, Judai looked down at a card in his hand; the Philosopher's Stone had somehow ended up in his hand.

Jaden had already discovered the problem with the Philosopher's Stone itself; originally, the Philosopher's Stone could only be used once and would be automatically destroyed after use.

However, when Jaden discovered that it was beginning to collapse, he intentionally channeled the power of the Phantom Demon he had just seized into the card. Half of that power was absorbed in one go, making it completely stable. In other words, the card will never collapse again.

In this way, he acquired a total of four extremely valuable collectible cards in this battle. In particular, the Philosopher's Stone was practically a fake card among fake cards. Because of this card, he would not question Daitokuji's arrangements for Kagemaru.

As for how the school should deal with Chairman Kagemaru, that's none of his business.

In conclusion, the Seven Stars Incident has come to a complete end.

......

After the helicopter took Kagemaru away, Daitokuji, having resolved his inner turmoil, also prepared to leave the mortal world and head to the underworld.

Before leaving, Daitokuji reminded Judai: 'You possess a mysterious power hidden within you that surpasses my imagination; I sensed it when you fought Camilla. You must find a way to make good use of this miraculous power that transcends the Three Phantom Demons, so that you will be able to cope with any enemy or difficulty you face in the future!'

Judai nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Yes, I know!"

"By the way, although you've taken away the power of the Phantom Demons, a trace of their resentment still remains within the original three Phantom Demon Cards. Therefore, it's best to reseal the three cards. Over time, many years later, this resentment will dissipate on its own."

"Okay, I'll explain it to the principal."

'Now I'm at ease. Farewell, Judai!'
