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

Immediately afterward, the two monsters sprang from the grave of the Tenth Generation.

Then Edward played another spell card: "I activate [Fusion] from my hand again, fusing Winged Man and Hot Girl!"

The figures of the two heroes overlapped, and the swirling vortex instantly engulfed them, merging them into one and releasing blazing flames.

"Appear, [Elemental Hero Phoenix]!"

The phoenix descended through the flames to stand before him and assumed a protective stance.

[Elemental Hero Phoenix: Defense 1200]

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 6 → 4

"The Phoenix cannot be destroyed by battle, and when I have no Destiny HERO monsters on my field, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Destiny HERO from my hand."

"Come on, Destroyer!"

A flash of golden light, and the Destroyer, with a cannon on his right arm, appeared.

[Destiny Heroes: Destroyer - Defense 1000]

"Place one last card in the pit, then end the turn."

Ed Phoenix's hand cards: 4 → 1

"Pretty capable, Edward! But you're still too naive. Do you think I didn't consider that you might choose to play defense?"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Saiō Mijuchi (right)'s hand cards: 3→4]

Misuzu (right) glanced at her hand and put it down, then drew another card and played it: "I activate the Spell Card [Shield Smash] from my hand and destroy one Defense Monster on the field."

[Saiō Mijuchi (right)'s hand cards: 4→3]

"The monster I'm going to destroy is, of course, the [Elemental HERO Phoenix]!"

"Oops!!"

Before Edward could react, the Phoenix, who had only been on the field for a short time, exploded into dust with a loud bang.

Chapter 174 Black Moon

After watching the Phoenix disappear from the field, Misuzu (right) inserted two more cards into the Duel Disk, "Two more cards to hide, end turn."

[Saiō Mijuchi (right)'s hand cards: 3→1]

With her turn over, control of the game returned to Jaden.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

After glancing at his hand, Jaden's eyes widened slightly. He then picked up another card and slammed it onto the Duel Disk. "I summon Elemental HERO Neos in Attack Position."

hum!

A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and a smaller version of Ultraman was projected out.

[Elemental Hero Newcomer: Astronaut - Attack Power 1900]

Then he placed the card he drew this turn into the Spell & Trap Slots, "Next, activate the Equip Spell [Unity Power], equip this card to Neo-Universe!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 1]

"Based on this card's effect, for each monster you control, the equipped monster gains 800 ATK."

"We have three monsters on the field, therefore Neos's attack power increases by 2400 points."

[Elemental Hero Newcomer: Astronaut - Attack Power 1900 → 4300]

Misuzu (right) exclaimed in surprise, "Attack power 4300...!?"

Miyu (left): "But don't forget the power of the Mirror Trap Card. As long as your monster attacks, that monster will be destroyed along with a monster whose attack power is lower than its own."

Jaden smiled upon hearing this, "But in other words, as long as I use a monster with lower attack power to launch the attack first, then that trap will have no effect on us."

Misuzu (left): "Oh no!"

Edward: "Heh~, isn't that quite obvious!"

Jaden then spun the card on the Duel Disk, saying, "I change [Support Dog] to Attack Position."

Support Dog: Attack Power 800

Then he waved his hand and roared, "Battle begins! Support dogs, attack Platinum Shikigami Ukyo!"

Upon receiving the instruction, the mechanical dog immediately ran and charged forward, pouncing on the shikigami Ukyo and tearing at him. The latter also hurriedly pierced the former's mechanical body with its 'drill'.

Boom!

The two monsters had the same attack power, so they were both smashed to pieces.

With two more monsters destroyed, the moon in the sky completely disappeared, turning into a black moon.

Seeing this, Jaden and Edward's bad premonition grew stronger, but that wasn't their immediate focus.

Jaden quickly recovered and shouted, "Activate the effect of [Support Dog]: When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, add 1 [Elemental HERO] monster and 1 [Fusion] monster from your Graveyard to your hand."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 3]

Edward, who was standing nearby, also made his move, quickly pressing the button to face down a card. "At this moment, activate the Trap Card, [Fate Mark]!"

"When a monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower 'Destiny HERO' from your hand or Deck."

"Appear, [Destiny Hero, Divine Being]!"

A flash of white light appeared on the field, and a dark hero with a double-edged axe on his back was projected.

[Destiny Hero: Divine Human - Defense 1400]

"Thanks, Edward! Since we still have three monsters on the field, Neos's attack power remains at 4300."

"Heh~, I'll accept your thanks frankly... Besides, you still have things you need to do, don't you?"

“Yes, of course!” Jaden nodded and continued to issue commands, “Go! Subnexal Universe Warrior, attack the God of Darkness! Subnexal Spiral!”

At his command, the smaller Ultraman leaped high into the air, soaring onto the head of the God of Darkness, and then delivered a chop to the latter, instantly causing a violent explosion.

boom--! !

“Uh-huh…”

【Saiō Mijuchi x2: LP8000→6700】

After fighting for so long, the two finally managed to inflict some damage on Misutomo.

However, before they could even get excited, their faces suddenly darkened.

Because after the dust settled, the figure of the God of Darkness reappeared before their eyes.

Miyu (left): "Too naive."

Miyu (right): "[Dark God] cannot be destroyed in battle."

Upon hearing this, Edward clicked his tongue and said, "Tch, what a troublesome monster!"

Jaden nodded in agreement, "Yes, and we also need to find a way to destroy that perpetual magic [Moon Mirror]. I wonder what will happen after the moon completely disappears..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the divine figure in the field of love.

Jaden remembers that when this monster declares an attack, it can destroy one face-up Spell Card on the opponent's field, which is perfect for Edward to deal with, provided that the monster is not destroyed by Misuzu beforehand.

"Place one last card in the trap, end the turn."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

After the tenth generation's declaration, Misutomo (left) spoke up: "Finally, the time has come!"

"Timing? What timing?"

As Jaden was wondering, Edward reminded him, "Jaden, look at your feet!"

"Hmm?" Judai subconsciously looked down and his pupils contracted.

They discovered that a layer of black mist had appeared on the floor, and the source of the mist was the strange egg.

"Is it finally time to activate the power of that card?"

When faced with Judai's question, Misutomo (left) did not choose to answer directly, but instead drew a card from her deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Saiō Mijuchi (left) holding cards: 1→2]

She glanced at her hand and a slight smile played on her lips. "Once the [Moon Mirror] has completed its ten-count, the [Dark God] will unleash its true power."

"I offer the Continuous Spell [Moon Mirror] as a tribute and activate the Field Spell [Infinite Demon-Slaying Mirror] from my hand!"

[Saiō Mijuchi (left) holding cards: 2→1]

As the field magic was read by the Duel Disk, the Moon Mirror beside her shattered into pieces with a bang, and the surrounding scenery rapidly changed.

The rudimentary virtual space that Jaden and Edward had seen vanished, replaced by a dark space shrouded in clouds and devoid of sunlight. Only the ground in the area where they were dueling emitted a faint halo of light, resembling a dark arena.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light shot into the sky from all around the aperture.

"Wuhu...!"

Mirrors rose up at the locations of those beams of light.

"What's this......?"

Chapter 175 The Ultimate Hero of Destiny

While Jaden and Edward were stunned, Misuzu (left) on the opposite side explained: "The effect of [Infinite Mirror] is that when [Dark God] is on your field, you can Special Summon as many [Dark God Tokens] as possible with the same ability as [Dark God] in your Monster Zone."

Buzzing...!

Eight light effects flashed across the field, and eight smaller versions of the God of Darkness were projected all at once.

【DarkGodToken: Attack Power 3000】×8

Upon seeing this scene, the two men's expressions changed drastically.

"What?! There are ten monsters with an attack power of 3000?!"

"This is just too reckless!"

Fortunately, these derivatives, like the effect of the God of Darkness, cannot be directly attacked; otherwise, the two might have lost this round.

"It's not over yet. I'll use the Platinum Shikigami Sakyo on the field as a sacrifice to summon [Mirror Shikigami - Nayuta]!"

As Misuzu (left) slammed the card onto the duel disk, Sakyo disappeared from the field, and a female shikigami wearing a fox mask was projected.

【Mirror Shikigami - Nayuta: Attack Power 2600】

[Saiō Mijuchi (left) holding cards: 1→0]

"Here it comes, Edward!"

"You don't need to remind me!"

Immediately, Misuzu (left) gave the order: "Attack the two [DarkGod Derivatives] with two [Destiny Heroes]! Absolute Darkness!"

The eyes of the two derivatives suddenly shot out two beams of black light, which simultaneously blasted towards Edward's field.

boom--! !

The two heroes of destiny were instantly blown to pieces.

“Ugh…!”

[Judai Yujo & Ed Phoenix: LP5900→4500]

"【DarkGod Derivative】After the battle, two monsters were destroyed, each dealing 700 damage to you. Furthermore, due to the reduced number of monsters, the Neo-Universe's attack power decreased by 1600 points."

[Elemental Hero Newcomer: Astronaut - Attack Power 4300 → 2700]

"Oops!"

"Now your hero is no match for DarkGod. DarkGod attacks the newcomer, take a total of 1000 points of damage!"

Then, the God of Darkness slightly opened his giant eye, and black beams of light shot out from it once again, followed by another violent explosion.

boom--! !

“Ugh…”
