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

Asuka's brow relaxed upon seeing this: "Ed Phoenix's health has finally been damaged, but in this way..."

Before she could finish speaking, Edward interrupted, "At this moment, the monster effect of the increased number of monsters in the graveyard, this card is set on the field as a continuous trap."

“As expected…” Jaden pointed to Ultraman who had returned to his side and continued, “The special effect of the Brave Neos has been activated!”

"When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, add one Spell/Trap Card from your Deck that has the name 'Elemental HERO Neos' to your hand."

"I added the trap card [Beloved Contact] to my hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

"My turn isn't over yet..."

As he spoke, he tossed out another magic card.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Foolish Reburial' from my hand, pay half of my Life Points, and send a monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

[Yujo Jaden: LP1100→550]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

"I put [Elemental HERO Flash Flame Wingman] into the graveyard."

"Flash Flame Wingman...!?" Upon hearing this name, Edward was stunned. "Why send this powerful ace monster to the graveyard?"

"you guess!"

Edward: Guess if I'll guess... (＃￣︿￣)

After scoffing, Jaden continued, "After activating [Foolish Reburial], I cannot bury Spell/Trap Cards."

"Therefore, I summon [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] in defense mode, and end my turn."

Chapter 169 The Shining New Universe Winged Warrior: Turning Defeat into Victory!

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Ed Phoenix's hand card: 0→1]

"I have won this duel, Judai!"

Edward dared to make such a declaration without even looking at his hand: "During my own preparation phase, I activate the Dead Man's Effect, and Special Summon this card from my Graveyard to my opponent's field in Attack Position."

A beam of light flew out of the opening in his grave and landed on Judai's field, quickly materializing into a mummy wearing a gray suit.

[Destiny Hero: Dead Man - Attack Power 1000]

Asuka frowned upon seeing this, saying worriedly, "This is bad. It's a monster with only 1000 attack power, and Jaden only has 550 HP. One hit will decide the outcome...!"

"Just as she said, are you prepared to be defeated, Judai?"

When faced with Edward's question, Jaden simply smiled and replied, "I still have a face-down card on my field. The winner might not necessarily be you!"

"Hmph, there's only one..." Edward said fearlessly, "Don't forget the magic card that was sent to the graveyard by the Diamond Golem. Now I'm going to use the effect of that card!"

"According to the effect of [The Beginning of the End], I draw three cards from my deck without any cost."

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 1 → 4

After drawing his cards, he scanned his hand and his eyes narrowed when he saw one of the cards. He chuckled and said, "Heh~, Judai, even if I don't attack you, your defeat is still inevitable!"

He quickly drew the card and placed it on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Destiny HERO Kill] in Attack Position!"

hum!

A golden light flashed across the field, and a burly dark hero with dreadlocks was projected onto the screen.

[Destiny Hero Kills: Attack Power 1200]

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 4 → 3

"Then activate the effect that deals damage to the opponent, sending one of your [Destiny HERO] cards to the graveyard and dealing 500 damage. This effect can be activated as long as you have [Destiny HERO] cards in your hand!"

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 3 → 2

As Edward placed Devilman into the graveyard, a crimson aura appeared around Jaden.

"Well......!"

[Yujo Jaden: LP550→50]

Asuka's heart sank at the sight. "Jūdai only has 50 HP left. If he activates the effect just one more time, he'll lose. This is the first time I've seen Jūdai pushed to such a desperate situation..."

However, Jaden still did not lose his fighting spirit: "It's not over yet. I activate the monster effect of [Lick-Lick Dog] from my graveyard. When I take battle or effect damage from my opponent, I banish this card from my graveyard and destroy one card on the field."

"Disappear, you murderer!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the killer exploded into pieces with a bang.

Upon seeing this, Edward clicked his tongue inwardly, "A card sent to the graveyard through Liquid Man's effect...? But you're just making a death throes!"

"Your inevitable defeat remains unchanged..."

As he spoke, he tossed out another magic card.

"Spell Card [Monster Resurrection] activated! Come back, kill!"

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 2 → 1

As the monster card was slammed onto the Duel Disk, the figure of the Smash Killer reappeared before him.

Jaden stared at the monster, seemingly relieved, and asked with a light laugh, "So, the fact that you resurrected and killed someone means that the last card in your hand is also [Destiny Hero], am I right, Edward?"

Hearing this, Edward looked at the Doctrine on his card, his expression slightly uneasy, but he still stubbornly said, "So what if it is? Your face-down card can't stop my march to victory!"

"The listed Vadokana!"

"Nani?!"

"Sorry, I'll take this duel!"

"What do you want to do?"

Under Edward's gaze, Jaden quickly reached out and pressed the button on the Duel Disk: "Activate Faceless Card, Quick-Play Spell [Bubble Illusion]!"

"While [Elemental HERO Bubble Fighter] is on the field, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand during this turn."

Upon hearing this, Edward's pupils suddenly contracted. "Activating a trap card at this moment!?"

"That's right, it only makes sense to activate it at this moment!" Jaden then flung the card in his hand and shouted, "I activate the Trap Card [Affectionate Contact] from my hand!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"Place your Fusion Materials from your hand, field, graveyard, and banished monsters back to the bottom of your Deck in any order. Special Summon a Fusion Monster made from a [HERO] monster, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

"I'll use the excluded [Elemental HERO Neos] and the [Elemental HERO Flash Flame Wingman] from the graveyard to perform contact fusion!"

The figures of the two aces suddenly appeared in front of Jaden. The two leaped into the air and rose into the sky. In the new universe, the figures of the two beloved heroes overlapped and shone with dazzling light.

"Appearing at Balsilingsi∪←毶∶♂5粶/soUsuo：，【Elemental Heroes: Shining New Universe Winged Knight】!"

The light faded the next moment, and Ultraman, fused with the armor of the Flash Flame Wingman, reappeared on the field.

【Elemental Heroes Shining New Universe Warrior: Attack Power 3100】

"Flash Neo-Winged... is actually an unknown hero born from the combination of the powers of Neo-Winged and Flash Flame Winged?!"

Ed swallowed hard, unsure of what would happen next...

Shortly after, Jaden pointed to the new hero who had descended beside him and explained, "Due to the arrival of Shiny Neoswingman, this card's special effect is activated!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is Special Summoned. Destroy up to the number of Attribute types of monsters on your field.

Upon hearing the description of the effect, Edward's expression changed drastically. "It's an effect that doesn't target any specific individual!? This..."

Not targeting means that even if the Incremental Monster is Special Summoned through a Chain Effect, it will still be destroyed, and the effects of Special Summoning monsters from the Deck cannot be activated.

The attributes on the field are light, dark, and water, so Jaden can destroy three cards on the opponent's field in one go.

Bang bang bang!

The incremental man, the diamond man, and the knockout man exploded into countless fragments.

"Great! Jaden has turned the tide and won!"

"It's time to end this!" Jaden smiled and gave the order: "Go, Flashy Neoswingman, attack the player directly!"

Under his command, the Flashy New Universe Wingman unleashed a blinding flash of light, instantly depleting Edward's health.

"Hmph!!"

Ed Phoenix: LP3100→0

Chapter 170 Mijuchi's Invitation, Virtual World

In the president's office at Kaiba Corporation, the voice of DIO rang out.

"Duel Academy's school trip, please allow me to use Kaiba Paradise for a moment!"

"Seahorse Paradise? Hmph, whatever!"

"I'm relieved to hear that! I have nothing else to say, so I'll take my leave now..."

After bowing to President Kaiba's retreating figure, Saiō Takuma turned and left.

After the office quieted down, another voice rang out.

"Why did you let that kind of guy cause trouble on my turf, Seto?"

A young man with short, blue hair suddenly appeared beside the club president.

The president smiled confidently upon hearing this and replied, "It's alright, Naya. Anyway, that kind of trash is nothing compared to Yuki Jaden!"

"If anything unexpected happens, I won't be responsible, hmph!"

Although the boy was very unhappy, he also felt that the only one who would have a headache was Prince Zhai.

......

The scene shifts back to Jaden and his group.

After the duel ended, Edward revealed Saiou Mijuchi's identity to Judai as promised.

Actually, she is the younger sister of her manager, Saiō Takuma. She probably started taking action after receiving instructions from her brother.

As for what Saiou was planning to do, Edward didn't know either, because by the time he started to suspect something, he couldn't find Saiou anymore. The reason he came to Domino City was because there were traces of Saiou's presence there.

However, now that Saiou's sister has appeared, we can find Saiou's location through her. Since she has her sights set on Judai and the others, Edward goes with Judai and the others.

While camping at the academy at night, they actually encountered two other subordinates of Misuzu, Enmaru and Iwamaru.

Of course, Jaden quickly defeated Iwamaru and his allies, who possessed four emperors, and Misuzu Tomoya finally appeared after sealing away all his subordinates.

Several mirrors appeared in the sky above the camp, reflecting the image of a mature woman with long hair dressed as a shrine maiden.

"I've seen something quite interesting, Jaden Yuki!"

"You're Misuzuchi!? What exactly is your purpose?" Judai frowned and questioned her.

"Want to know? Then come to Kaiba Park! I'll be waiting for you there, along with Jaden Yuki and Ed Phoenix!"

When she mentioned his name, Edward paused for a moment, "Me too? Why?"

"You must obey the guidance of fate."

After she finished speaking, she turned off all the mirrors.

What exactly is Prince Saiwang planning?

Ed muttered to himself with a serious expression, increasingly unsure of what the other person was thinking.

"Let's go see Donbi Suchi..."

As he spoke, Judai picked up the four imperial edicts that had fallen to the ground, saying that these ordinary people also needed to be rescued.

"I have a feeling that I might get some important information or the truth from her."

Edward nodded. "Yes, we can only take it one step at a time..."

So the two of them prepared to go to the designated location.
