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

Seeing that the opponent was about to destroy [Beloved Contact], Jaden had no choice but to activate the face-down card.

"Then I'll open the face-down card, the Trap Card [Beloved Contact]!"

"Return Elemental HERO Neos and Elemental HERO Flamewing - Flame Strike from the Graveyard to the Deck for Contact Fusion."

Neo-Universe Warrior and Flame Wing Warrior then appeared, their figures overlapping and releasing a dazzling flash.

With a wave of his hand, Judai shouted, "Come on, Shining Neoswingman!"

As the light faded, Ultraman, wearing the armor of the Flash Flame Wingman, appeared before us.

"Due to Sunrise Wingman's effect, Shining Flame Wingman's ATK increases. Also, according to Shining Neos Wingman's own effect, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects, and its ATK increases by 300 for each monster in your Graveyard."

[Elemental Heroes Shiny New Universe Winged Warrior: Attack Power 3100→4100]

"Then, the monster effect of Shining Neos Wingman is activated. When this card is Special Summoned, for each attribute on the field, you can destroy up to that number of cards your opponent controls."

"That [Flame Wall] is destroyed!"

Suddenly, the trap card to O'Brien's right exploded into pieces with a bang.

Asuka asked in surprise, "Why didn't you destroy the [Flame Cannon Magazine] as well? Why is that?"

Jaden explained to her, "The [Flame Cannon Box] has a tricky effect in the graveyard, which is that it can send a [Volcano] card from the deck to the graveyard. The [Volcano] deck contains a monster called [Volcano Deer Bullet], which has the powerful ability to destroy all of the opponent's monsters when sent to the graveyard by the [Flame Cannon] card."

"I see. Then we really can't destroy that card."

“As you said.” O’Brien wasn’t surprised that Jaden knew the function of this card. According to the data he had collected, Jaden seemed to know most of the cards, so it was not surprising that he knew his deck information.

O'Brien said coldly, "But even if you know my deck, you still can't beat me!"

He then discarded a card from his hand into the graveyard. "I discarded [Volcanic Counter Beast] from my hand and activated the effect of [Flame Cannon Magazine] again, drawing a card from the top of my deck."

“Let me show you my battle plan…” He then revealed another monster card: “This card can be Special Summoned to your opponent’s field by Tributing one of their monsters.”

"What?!" Judai's pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this.

"I will sacrifice your Flashy New Universe Warrior to summon the [Volcano Queen]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, flames suddenly erupted from beneath Flashy Neos' feet, burning him to ashes. The next moment, a black dragon with flames coiled around its body appeared on Jaden's field.

Roar--! !

The monster roared like a dragon as soon as it appeared. Its body was connected by lava, and the upper body of a lava witch stood on its head.

[Volcano Queen: Attack Power 2500]

[Ossin O'Brien's hand cards: 3→2]

Asuka's eyes widened in shock at what she saw: "They're using Jaden's monster to summon it?!"

Jaden gritted his teeth, somewhat annoyed: "However, I now have three attributes on my field. Because of Sunrise's effect, all the monsters on my field have their ATK increased by 600 points on top of their original ATK."

[Elemental Hero Sunrise Warrior: Attack Power 2900 → 3100]

[New Space Warrior - Sky Hummingbird: Attack Power 1200 → 1400]

[Volcano Queen: Attack power 2500 → 3100]

"Furthermore, players cannot perform a normal summon during the turn when the [Volcano Queen] is summoned."

“This cost is insignificant to me.” O’Brien shrugged and then said, “While the [Flame Cannon Magazine] is on the field, use it as the [Flame Cannon - Trident].

"Therefore, I can send the [Flame Cannon - Trident] on the field to the graveyard as a price to Special Summon this card."

As the trap card on his left disappeared from the field, he drew a monster card and threw it out: "Descent, [Volcano Demon]!"

The earth split open instantly, and a pitch-black demon made of lava burst from the surface, unleashing raging flames.

【Fire Mountain Demon: Attack Power 3000】

[Ossin O'Brien's hand cards: 2→1]

"So, in the end, the magazine was sent to the graveyard after all." Jaden clicked his tongue inwardly upon seeing this.

O'Brien grinned smugly: "Now all my preparations are complete. Activate the final effect of [Flame Cannon Magazine] from the graveyard."

"According to the effect of this card, during the main phase of both players, this card in the graveyard can be banished from the game to activate this effect. I send [Volcanic Deer Bullet] from my deck to the graveyard."

"This attack is going to be really strong!"

Three deformed volcanic bombs with three heads were loaded into the barrel of a three-barreled rocket launcher.

The next moment, all three cannons fired simultaneously.

boom! boom! boom--!

The monsters on the field were all instantly reduced to ashes.

"Uh...!"

[Yujo Jaden: LP5000→3500]

O'Brien continued, "When [Volcanic Deer Bullet] is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of [Flame Cannon], you can activate its effect by sending two more [Volcanic Deer Bullets] from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, destroying all monsters on your opponent's field."

"Furthermore, when this card is sent to the graveyard, it deals 500 damage to the opponent. Since there are three [Volcanic Deer Bullets] sent to the graveyard, the total damage is 1500."

"Not only did they wipe out all of Jaden's monsters, but they also inflicted massive damage. What a terrifying combination!" Asuka couldn't help but worry.

"It's not over yet..."

Just then, O'Brien played his last card: "I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand to Special Summon [Volcano Queen] from my Graveyard."

[Ossin O'Brien's hand cards: 1→0]

"Oh no! That won't do!"

Jaden quickly tapped the face-down button: "Open face-down card, counter-trap [Hero Rule 2]!"

"Negative and destroy monster effects, spells, and trap cards that target cards in the Graveyard."

"Nani?!"

The magic card that had just appeared next to O'Brien exploded into dust with a bang.

"The Volcano Queen has the effect of sending other cards on her field to the graveyard to deal 1000 damage to the opponent. If you revive her, I will lose my life points."

"Hmph, it's just clinging to life."

Chapter 215 Breaking the Impasse, A Bizarre Situation

O'Brien waved his hand and shouted, "Battle begins! Volcanic Demon, attack Judai directly! Volcanic Cannon!"

Immediately, the volcanic demon opened its mouth, and a lava ball trailing flames shot towards the opposite side, hurtling towards Jaden's side.

boom--! !

"Ughh ...

Beep beep beep...

The values ​​displayed on the Judai Duel Disk plummeted, leaving him with very low health.

[Yujo Jaden: LP3500→500]

Seeing this, O'Brien smiled smugly: "Now you only have 500 health points left."

"Volcano Demon's effect is: When you destroy an opponent's monster by battle and send it to the Graveyard, destroy all monsters on your opponent's field, dealing 500 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed. Also, during your opponent's Battle Phase, your opponent's monsters in Attack Position must attack this card."

"Furthermore, based on the effect of the [Volcano Counter Beast] in the Graveyard, when you take battle damage, banish this card from the Graveyard. If there is a FIRE monster other than yourself in your Graveyard at that time, deal the same amount of damage to your opponent."

"In other words, it's pointless whether you attack or defend; you have no chance of winning, Judai Yuki!"

Judai smiled upon hearing this, "That's not necessarily true."

"What did you say?"

"Your battle plan is indeed very interesting, but it still has flaws and isn't as perfect as you described..."

As Judai spoke, he grabbed a card from the top of his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Without even glancing at it, he put it down and threw out a card he had already retrieved: "I activate the Spell Card [Miracle Fusion] from my hand, banishing Flame Neos, Sunrise Neos, and Shiny Neos from my Graveyard, and Special Summon [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental HERO]."

"Awaken, heroes!"

As three Fusion Monster cards popped out of the Graveyard from the Tenth Generation Duel Disk, a blinding flash erupted on the field, and Flame Neos, Sunrise, and Shiny Neos Wing reappeared before him, this time as a single monster.

"This card gains 300 ATK for each Fusion Material it uses."

[Awaken your sleeping elemental heroes: Attack power 2500 → 3400]

“Attack power 3400...?” O'Brien clicked his tongue inwardly.

This value is exactly the value at which [Volcano Counter Beast] cannot defeat Jaden.

“I understand your thinking, but that’s not a problem for me at all.” Jaden then pointed to the spell card next to him and said, “When I activate the effect of [EN Wave] again, and banish [Elemental HERO] as Fusion Material, I can Special Summon [Elemental HERO Neos] from my Deck.”

hum!

A flash of white light appeared on the field, and Ultraman's figure reappeared beside him.

【Elemental Hero Neos: Attack Power 2500】

"It's no use. I still have 3500 health points. The attack power of the New Universe Knight is not enough to empty my health points. In addition, because of the effect of [Volcanic Counterattack Beast], your remaining health points will be destroyed by me instead."

In this situation, O'Brien remained completely calm.

But would Judai not have thought of that?

"You only have 100 health points, I'm the winner!"

"What do you mean?"

Instead of answering directly, Jaden waved his hand and gave the order: "Battle begins! [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Heroes] Attack [Volcano Demon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three heroes rushed forward and beat the volcano demon to death.

boom--! ! !

"Ugh...!"

[Ossin O'Brien: LP3500→100]

Seeing that his health points were down to only 100, O'Brien's pupils suddenly contracted. "What happened to this damage?"

Jaden then explained to him, "This is because of another effect of [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Heroes]..."

This card activates after damage calculation during a battle with a monster. Destroy that monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK.

Asuka, standing nearby, immediately realized: "So that's how it is! Of the 3400 points of damage, 400 points are combat damage caused in this battle. The effect of [Volcano Counterattack Beast] cannot be used to kill Jaden with this damage, and the remaining 3000 points of damage are effect damage, so it cannot be utilized either."

A simple calculation of the data reveals just how tightly the Tenth Generation occupies the numerical values, effectively rendering the graveyard useless.

"Wow, this is Jaden Yuki's strength?"

Even the usually cold-blooded O'Brien was moved.

"This is the final blow!" Jaden shouted as he swung his hand down, "Go! Neo-Universe Warrior, direct attack on the player! Neo-Universe Spiral!"

Ultraman delivered a swift chop to Obryan, instantly depleting his health points.

[Ossin O'Brien: LP100→0]

"Mission accomplished..."

O'Brien wasn't resentful. After all, Professor Cobra's task for him was simply to fight Jaden. Losing wouldn't matter; he was just a little disappointed that he couldn't win in the end.

However, before he could process any further emotions, his thoughts were abruptly interrupted.

"Ugh..."

O'Brien suddenly felt a strange pain in his body, and his muscles were incredibly sore and weak.

'What? This pain... I can't muster any strength... It's like all the energy in my body has been drained...'

Although he was a tough guy and wouldn't normally scream in agony, he couldn't help but grimace in pain and found it difficult to muster any strength.

After staggering a few steps, he collapsed to his knees, panting heavily, clearly extremely weak.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

After noticing the other person's unusual behavior, Judai quickly stepped forward to examine them closely.

"What happened? Are you sick?"
