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

"The turn I Special Summon Fearman, my Destiny HERO will not be destroyed, and all battle damage dealt to me will be reduced to zero."

"Unfortunately, Absolute Zero's effect and your Geka are no longer effective against me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.

"Wow, amazing! With such a powerful combination, can Tenth Generation really win?"

"Is this the true strength of a professional duelist? It's terrifying!"

Only Asuka cheered for him: "Judai, do your best!"

"..."

Seeing Judai's friends and family pessimistically predicting his future, Edward sneered, "Looks like your friends don't have high hopes for you either, Judai!"

"Then bring it on!" Judai's expression didn't show any panic at this moment.

I might not be able to update today.

Chapter 143 The Counterattack Begins

"The fight continues!"

Edward flicked his hand and shouted, "Go! Demon Man, attack Liquid Man!"

Upon receiving the order, the woolly man leaped forward and punched Liquid Man, shattering him into pieces with a resounding bang.

"Due to the reduction in the number of water-type monsters on the field, Absolute Zero's attack power has returned to normal."

[Elemental Heroes Absolute Zero Warrior: Attack Power 3000 → 2500]

In this way, the Dead Man's attack power surpasses that of Absolute Zero.

So he commanded again, "I'll use Dead Man to attack Absolute Zero!"

Roar--! !

The next moment, the cape behind the Dead Man suddenly extended out, reaching out like a pair of demonic claws to the opposite side, and instantly slapped the Absolute Zero on the body with those claws.

boom--! !

The latter suddenly exploded into fragments.

"Uh......"

[Yujo Jaden: LP4000→3500]

"Now your life is exposed to the [Hero of Destiny], Judai!" Edward's voice rose a few decibels with excitement, his expression as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

"Don't rush, Edward..."

Jaden said, pressing the button to face down a card: "Activate the Trap Card [Hero Mark] at this moment!"

When a monster you control is destroyed, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO from your Deck.

"Come on, [Elemental Hero Blaze]!"

Om-! !

A burst of light flashed across the field as Blaze stood in a defensive stance, protecting Jaden.

[Elemental Hero: Blaze Warrior - Defense 1800]

"And due to Flamebringer's effect, add one [Fusion] card from the deck to your hand."

[Yuki Jaden's Cards: 1→2] Old

Watching Jaden retrieve the card, Edward scoffed, "It's useless, Jaden! You're just stalling for time, and I'm not going to leave you any fusion materials!"

"Fearful Man, Heavenly Soaring Mountain-Piercing Palm!"

At his command, the giant leaped high into the air, his massive hand slamming down towards Blaze.

"How naive, Edward!" Jaden chuckled and announced loudly, "Trap Card [Hero Barrier], negate one of your opponent's monster's attacks!"

A barrier suddenly appeared around Liquid Man. (Part 3)

Boom! Three

The fearful man's palm struck the barrier. Zero

Ed's eyes widened in astonishment. "It actually withstood the attack of the Fear Man?!"

"I can do more things after I leave Blaze behind, Edward."

"Hmph, what a troublesome fellow!"

Ed, looking annoyed, buried two cards in his hand in the back row: "Then I'll set two cards face down, end of turn."

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 3 → 1

"At the same time, the effect of the Deathly Hound ends for this turn, and the attack power of all [Destiny HERO] monsters is restored to normal."

[Destiny Hero Fear Man: Attack Power 4100 → 3100]

[Destiny Hero: Fatalist - Attack Power 3000 → 2000]

[Destiny Hero Demon: Attack Power 1800 → 800]

[Destiny Hero Disc Man: Attack Power 1300 → 300]

Next, it was Judai's turn to play.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

After drawing the card, he didn't rush to summon the monster. Instead, he pointed to the warrior in front of him who was emitting flames and said, "Blazing Warrior's other effect is activated. During your Main Phase, send one Elemental HERO card other than yourself from your Deck to the Graveyard. This card becomes the same as the monster in the Graveyard in terms of Attribute, ATK, and DEF."

"Using this effect, I put the Elemental HERO Lady of the Mist from my deck into the graveyard."

[Elemental Hero Blaze: Attack 1200 → 1000, Defense 1800 → 1500, Fire → Dark]

Edward frowned upon seeing this. "You actually lowered your monster's attack power?! What exactly are you planning?"

At this moment, Jaden didn't keep us in suspense any longer and loudly proclaimed, "At this very moment, the monster effect of Shadow Mist Lady activates. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, add one [Hero] monster from the Deck to your hand."

"Is that the purpose...?!" Edward clicked his tongue inwardly.

Jaden took a card from his deck and slammed it onto the Duel Disk. "The card I choose is Elemental HERO Skywalker. Normal Summon this card."

Another flash of light effect, and in the blink of an eye, Sky Warrior was projected onto the field.

【Elemental Hero Sky Warrior: Attack Power 1800】

"And when Sky Knight enters the field, its effect activates. If there are any other HERO monsters on your field, destroy the number of Spell and Trap Cards on the field."

As soon as Jaden finished speaking, a face-down card at Edward's feet was flipped open, revealing a trap card with the image of "Destiny HERO Devilman" on it.

Upon seeing the card clearly, it instantly exploded into fragments and disappeared with a bang.

Jaden smiled upon seeing this and said, "【D-Counter】, huh...!? The effect of this card is that when a 【Destiny HERO】 monster on your field is attacked, the attacking monster is destroyed. It's like a copy of our own 【Explosive Armor】. If I had attacked randomly, I would have been countered by a trap. That was close."

Edward scoffed, "Tch, what a lucky bastard! He's infuriating!"

"It's not over yet..." Jaden continued, "I activate the effect of the Spell Card 'Phantom Release' from my Graveyard!"

"It's magic that was started from the graveyard!?"

While Edward was in a daze, Jaden took two cards from the graveyard.

"By banishing a Phantom Triumph from your Graveyard, add one Phantom Hero from your Graveyard to your hand. This effect cannot be activated during the turn this card is placed in the Graveyard."

"By using this card, I can bring the [Phantom Hero Android] back into my hand from the graveyard."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

Ed looked on in astonishment: "Impossible!? When was that card...?"

Jaden laughed and retorted, "Have you forgotten the effects of Liquid Man?"

"Ah...the card we discarded back then!?" Ed suddenly realized, "You actually thought that far ahead!?"

He realized his lapse in composure and quickly recovered, saying, "But you've already summoned a monster this turn, so what's the point of recalling it now?"

"Of course, it's to summon an even more powerful fusion monster..."

Judai shrugged his shoulders as if it were nothing serious.

His counterattack is about to begin.

Chapter 144 Additional Attack

Jaden then revealed both cards at once: "I'm fusing these three HERO monsters: Phantom HERO Bionic Man from my hand, Element HERO Flameman from the field, and Element HERO Skyman."

Edward frowned upon hearing this, "Use three heroes to fuse?!"

Manjoume Lightning asked doubtfully, "Does such a monster exist?"

Even the well-informed Daichi Misawa shook his head: "I don't know either..."

Before long, the three heroes on the field were swallowed by the fusion vortex, instantly releasing a dazzling brilliance.

"Show yourself, [Phantom Hero 3]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior covered in crimson armor descended onto the field.

"And because of the effect of the Trinity Force, its own attack power doubles!"

[Phantom Heroes III - One Person: Attack Power 2500 → 5000]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 2]

"5000 attack power right from the start...!? How can there be such a powerful hero?"

In response to Edward's question, Jaden explained, "The effect of the Trinity is only effective during the turn of the Fusion Summon, and it cannot directly attack the player."

"So that's how it is, this card is used to defeat the Fear Man...?"

However, Jaden denied it, saying, "No, this is a card to defeat you!"

"Nani?!"

Just then, Jaden waved his arm and shouted, "Go, Sannin!"

Under his command, the three of them immediately leaped forward.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Edward quickly flicked his hand downwards and shouted, "Too naive, Judai!"

"You think such an attack will work? Activate the trap card [Absorption Shield]. The attack from the three of us is nullified, and my life points are restored to the value of that card's attack power."

Ed Phoenix: LP3800→8800

However, just as he was feeling smug, Judai across from him said coldly, "You're the one who's truly naive!"

"What did you say?"

Jaden's lips curled up at this moment, and he continued to explain: "Sannin also has another powerful ability, which is that when this card is summoned by Fusion Summon, this card can launch three attacks in the same battle."

"You said three attacks!?" Edward's voice rose in surprise, and he suddenly lost his composure.

Judai clenched his fist and roared, "Let the battle continue! Sanichi, unleash two more attacks and crush Zemei and Kokoro!"

At his command, Sanyi turned and charged at the men of death and fear, throwing out his fists at an extremely fast speed.

Sanyi: Ora Ora Ora Ora...!

The speed at which his fists swung was so fast that afterimages could be seen.

Of course, Edward was not frightened by this scene. After calming down, he quickly threw his hand cards into the graveyard.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of the Desperate Man once again, discarding the [Destiny Hero Demon Man] and [Destiny Hero Killer] cards in my hand. The attack power of the [Destiny Heroes] on my field increases by 1400 points for this turn."

[Destiny Hero Fear Man: Attack Power 3100 → 4500]

[Destiny Hero: Fatalist - Attack Power 2000 → 3400]

[Destiny Hero Demon: Attack Power 800 → 2200]

[Destiny Hero Disc Man: Attack Power 300 → 1700]
