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

While the two were discussing, Judai began his turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

After glancing at his hand, Jaden pointed to the face-down card at his feet and said, "First, activate the Trap Card, [Hero Blast]!"

"Choose one Elemental HERO Normal Monster from your Graveyard and add it to your hand, then destroy one monster your opponent controls with an attack power lower than that card!"

"I added Electro from the graveyard to my hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

"Unfortunately, the Shining Phoenix's attack power is 4000 points. The effect of [Heroic Blast] is not enough to destroy it, senior!"

Judai shrugged indifferently upon hearing this, because that was not his purpose.

Without hesitation, he slammed the retrieved card onto the duel disk, shouting, "I summon Electro in Attack Position!"

Om-! !

A golden light flashed across the field, and the blue-gold Electroman was instantly projected.

[Elemental Heroes: Electro Warrior - Attack Power 1600]

Edward exclaimed in astonishment, "Summoning a monster using an attack stance?! What are you planning, senior?"

Jaden's response was to immediately throw a card from his hand: "Then I activate the Equip Spell [Light Annihilation Sword] from my hand and equip this card to a LIGHT Warrior-Type monster!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 1]

Electro then raised his right hand, and the surrounding light suddenly converged, revealing a horseshoe-shaped mechanical gauntlet that he grabbed in his hand.

He then clenched his fist and explained to the other party: "Monsters that have fought against monsters equipped with the [Light Annihilation Sword] are excluded from the game."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of blue light shot out from the light bulb at the top of Electro's gauntlet, transforming into a lightsaber.

Immediately afterward, Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Electro, attack Phoenix!"

Upon receiving the order, Electro immediately charged forward with his lightsaber and thrust it at the enemy.

"Welcome, Shining Phoenix!"

The Phoenix immediately rushed towards Electro.

The next moment, Electro pierced Phoenix's body with his sword, while Phoenix slapped Electro with his claw.

"At this very moment, the effect of the [Light Annihilation Sword] activates!"

Boom boom——! !

Two violent explosions rang out, and both were instantly destroyed, disappearing from the field at the same time.

"Uh..."

[Yujo Jaden: LP4000→1600]

"Heh~, willing to sacrifice a lot of health to eliminate my hero, what an arrogant fighting style, senior..."

At this moment, Edward's eyes became very sharp, and it seemed that he no longer intended to pretend.

Chapter 128 Hero of Destiny

"Heh heh~, it's about time I showed off my real hero deck!"

Hearing Edward's words, Asuka and Manjoume were a little confused.

"A true hero deck?"

"Does he also have a [Masked Hero]?"

While the two were guessing, the answer was revealed much later.

"At this moment, the gears of fate begin to turn!" Edward waved his hand and shouted, "Activate the Trap Card, [D-Time]!"

The card at your feet then opened, revealing a cup of coffee with the letter 'D' drawn on it.

Upon seeing this card, Jaden suddenly realized, "So! [Destiny HERO] is your real deck...!"

"You actually know about [Destiny Heroes], you're quite something, Jaden Yuki." Edward seemed to be praising Jaden, but then his tone shifted a second later, "But even if you know about the existence of [Destiny Heroes], you still can't defeat me, because [Destiny Heroes] are stronger than [Elemental Heroes]!"

Hearing these incredibly proud words, Jaden seemed to hear a mysterious song echoing in his ears: "Use ~Fusion~Fate~~~! Divinity~~~Charge~~~! Fusion~Summon~~! Destroy~Phoenix~Descend~~~! Hiding in~the~toilet~, an~immortal~~~!! (Gritting his teeth)"

While Jaden was receiving some strange radio waves, Edward shouted, "Go, Jaden! The effect of [D-Time] is that when an Elemental HERO monster leaves the field, you can add any Fate HERO monster of level lower than that HERO to your hand!"

The next second, a card automatically popped out of Edward's deck, which he casually picked up.

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 0 → 1

"A hero of destiny... indeed a troublesome opponent, but not a major problem..."

As long as the opponent doesn't use Phoenix Chick, Jaden has nothing to worry about.

So Jaden continued his maneuver, "My turn isn't over yet..."

As he spoke, he tossed out the last magic card in his hand.

“Activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn], Special Summon Bubbleman from your Graveyard, Edward.”

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

Ed's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "What?! From my graveyard?!"

As the effect of the magic card took effect, a flash of light appeared on Jaden's field, and Bubble Man was instantly projected onto his field.

[Elemental Heroes Bubble Hero: Defense 1200]

"And when Bubbleman appears, there are no other cards, so I can draw two more cards from my deck through this monster's effect."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 0 → 2]

After glancing at his hand, he immediately revealed one of his cards: "I'll activate the Spell Card [Miracle Fusion] from my hand, banishing Bubble Man from the field and Electro Man from the graveyard to fuse them."

Electro reappeared on the stage of the Jade Emperor and was swallowed up by the fusion vortex along with Bubble Man, radiating a brilliant light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]!"

The next moment, a pure white warrior descended upon Jaden's field, bringing with him an extremely cold wind, and the ground quickly froze.

【Elemental Heroes Absolute Zero Warrior: Attack Power 2500】

"I'll place one last card in my pocket, then the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 0]

'Absolute Zero, huh... Jaden Yuki's ace monster, possessing the powerful effect of destroying all of the opponent's monsters upon leaving the field. This guy really left behind a troublesome thing...'

Next, it was Edward's turn to play a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 1 → 2

Ed quickly drew a card from his deck, and after confirming the card he had drawn, he played it without hesitation. "First, I activate the spell card [Pot of Greed] to draw two cards from my deck and add them to my hand."

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 2 → 3

After drawing two cards, Edward placed the card he had searched for in the previous turn onto the Duel Disk and shouted, "Now I summon [Destiny HERO Devilman] in Attack Position!"

Om-! !

A flash of golden light appeared, and a dark hero, dressed in a tattered dark red cloak and resembling a demon, was projected.

[Destiny Heroes: Devilman - Attack Power 600]

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 3 → 2

Edward clenched his fist and gave the order: "Ha, go, Devilman!"

Upon receiving the command, Devilman leaped high into the air and flew towards Absolute Zero.

"What? Is this guy planning to commit suicide? Absolute Zero's attack power is 2500 points...!"

Seeing Edward's actions, Asuka and Manjoume above were both stunned.

"No, what I'm about to do isn't an attack..." Edward immediately waved his hand and roared, "Devilman's effect activated, Fate Reading!"

"Disappear, you Absolute Zero!"

Devilman slapped Absolute Zero with his claw, instantly distorting space. Absolute Zero was swallowed up by the distorted space and disappeared from the scene.

"The Devilman's effect is that once per turn, it can send your opponent's monsters to the future two turns from now. The monster removed by this effect will return to your field in the same state during your second Standby Phase."

"Of course, there is a corresponding cost to activating this effect, which is that I cannot launch an attack in this turn."

"How about it?" Edward said proudly, "This is the new hero who transcends everything and has the power to manipulate the future, the D series that represents destiny, destruction and death! Prepare yourself, Jaden."

'That sounds pretty impressive...' Jaden ignored the other's words and shouted, "But at this moment, because Absolute Zero left the field, all the monsters on your field are destroyed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Devilman exploded into pieces with a bang.

"Hmph, just as I expected..."

As he spoke, Ed threw out another magic card.

"I also activate [Monster Resurrection] to Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard in Attack Position."

"Awaken, Devilman!"

A beam of white light suddenly shot out from his grave, and the Devilman was instantly summoned to the scene.

[Destiny Heroes: Devilman - Attack Power 600]

Edward then placed the remaining card into the Spell & Trap Slots on the Duel Disk, saying, "Set up one more card, end of turn."

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 2 → 0

Chapter 129 An Unfortunate Future

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 0 → 1]

After glancing at his hand, Jaden slammed it onto the Duel Disk, announcing, "I summon [Phantom Hero Android] from my hand in Attack Position!"

Om-! !

After a flash of golden light, a warrior wearing dark purple armor was projected onto the field.

[Phantom Hero Android: Attack Power 1000]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

Upon seeing the monster, Edward was immediately taken aback: "It's the Phantom Hero...!?"

It's no wonder he was so surprised, since he had only heard rumors about this series, but it hadn't been released on the market yet. He never expected that Jaden would actually have this series in his possession.

Manjoume Lightning exclaimed, "I only knew that the Phantom Heroes series existed, but I didn't expect that Judai would have a way to obtain it in advance. His background is really not to be underestimated!"

Asuka Tenjouin was happy for Jaden: "That's great! With three [Heroes] now, Jaden must be even stronger!"

Edward, however, remained mysteriously confident, 'Hmph~, the strongest card in the [Hero] deck is only my [Destiny Hero], the rest are trash!'

In his view, even if he were facing three types of heroes, the [Hero of Destiny] could still disregard them.

Of course, Jaden was unaware of Edward's thoughts at that moment, and continued, "When the android appears, activate this card's special effect to send one HERO monster from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"I put [Phantom Hero: Glimmer] from my deck into the graveyard."

He put one card into the grave and then took another card from the grave.

"Furthermore, the android can activate another effect: once per turn, banish one [Hero] monster from the graveyard and add one [Fusion] card from the Deck to your hand."

"I banish Darkbringer from the graveyard and add the second [Fusion] from my deck to my hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 0 → 1]

Jaden wasn't in a hurry to decide the outcome in this round, because Ed revived Devilman by attacking. With this monster's 600 attack power, Jaden could easily wipe out his life points by summoning any monster with an attack power of 2300 or more.

To outsiders, Edward's actions seemed like suicide, but the fact that he dared to do so showed that he had confidence in Gaika in the backcourt and could save his life, completely unafraid of Jaden's attacks.

So Jaden decided to test the waters first, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Battle begins! Androids attack Devilman!"

Upon receiving the command, the lights on the android mask emitted a beam of purple light, which suddenly shot towards the Devilman.

Seeing this, Edward quickly swung his hand and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! Activate the trap card, [D-Shield]!"

As the trap card was activated, the Devilman immediately crouched down in a defensive stance, and at the same time, a barrier appeared around him, instantly engulfing the android's attack.
