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

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"No way!?" Jim was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

"The attack power of the New Universe Knight is 2500, therefore the attack power of the Sincere New Universe Knight is increased to 5000 points."

[Elemental Heroes: Sincere New Universe Warrior - Attack Power 2500 → 5000]

"Fight back, True New Universe Warriors!"

At that moment, the golden skeleton knight swung his ancient sword, which was about to hit Ultraman.

However, at that moment, Ultraman flapped his wings, dodged the attack with a quick movement, and then threw a punch that instantly pierced through the Skeleton Knight.

boom--! !

“Ughh ...!!!”

Jim Claudel Cook: LP3000 → 800

"At this moment, because the Fossil Fusion Monster is destroyed, the effect of Fossil Fusion is activated again, and this card in the Graveyard is added to the hand."

Jim Claudel Cook's handcards: 2 → 3

Asuka frowned upon seeing this, "They've taken it back again..."

John couldn't help but exclaim, "The Fossil Fusion card is truly powerful; it can continuously unearth powerful fusion monsters."

While everyone was discussing, Jim smiled and said, "Sincere New Universe Hero has an attack power of 5000, which is indeed a very powerful hero, but it is still not enough in front of the [Earth Giant]."

Since Jim failed to force out Jaden's grapple in the previous battle, there is a certain probability that the latter's grapple is not a counter-trap.

Then Jim waved his hand again and shouted, "Earth Giants attack True Tempest!!"

"Furthermore, based on the effects of the Earth Giant, the attack power of the Sincere Neo-Universe Warrior is halved!"

The rock giant raised its massive fist and suddenly swung it, aiming to blast Ultraman towards it.

However, Judai chuckled lightly, "Heh, courting death."

"What?"

As Jim expressed his doubts, Jaden calmly pressed the button on the Duel Disk.

"Activate the quick-attack spell, [Armed Regeneration]!"

"Equip the equipment magic [Rainbow Robe] from the graveyard onto Sincere New Universe Knight again."

"Oops!"

Jim could easily understand what that meant.

"That's right. Monsters that fight against True Neos equipped with the Rainbow Robe are nullified during the battle. In other words, the effect of the Earth Giant on True Neos is nullified, and its attack power will not change."

As soon as the tenth generation finished speaking, the True 0 Neo-Universe Warrior was once again covered with a layer of colorful energy. Two…』~〇“】5≮

"That's it! Go, True New Universe Warriors!"

Ultraman flapped his wings again to dodge the attack, and the Earth Giant's fist missed its mark. Then, Ultraman punched the giant through with another punch.

Rumble, rumble...!

"Hmm...!"

Jim Claudel Cook: LP800 → 0

The duel is finally over, but the purpose of this duel is not yet accomplished.

The tenth generation immediately focused their attention on observing the changes in Jim.

The next second, the death gauntlet on Jim's right hand suddenly emitted a faint yellow light that was not easily noticed.

"What?!"

"This is......!"

Jaden's eyes widened in surprise; this time he finally saw it.

Just now, almost all the energy in Jim's body was extracted through the wristband.

"So that's how it is... The energy within my body was sent to somewhere on this island via the Death Bracelet the instant the duel ended..."

Jim is now experiencing the same feeling as O'Brien before—completely powerless.

"But Judai, that was a truly spectacular duel... It was so great to be able to duel with you..."

After he finished speaking with great difficulty, he finally exhausted all his strength and collapsed to the ground, with the crocodile pressing down on his back.

Exhausted, Jim slowly closed his eyes and lost consciousness...

"Jim!"

"We need to get him to the infirmary right away! Everyone come and lend a hand!"

One person couldn't move a man and an alligator, so several onlookers quickly came down to help. It took a lot of effort to bring Jim back to the infirmary for treatment.

Chapter 220 Cobra's New Plan

"If this is true, then this is a very serious problem—milk reflux!"

After Judai and the others settled Jim in, they rushed to the registrar's office to tell Chronos and the others about the Death Bracelet. The person who caused the trouble was undoubtedly Professor Cobra.

"Since the death duel began, more and more students have fallen."

"Yeah, damn it! This kind of teaching method that squeezes students' mental energy is completely unreasonable. The students aren't soldiers. If this continues, it could break their spirits and bodies! Damn it!"

"This cruel method is absolutely unacceptable! This dangerous duel should be ended immediately, Diablo!"

Judai nodded: "That's right. The problems now are getting the principal to decide to end the death duel, and the whereabouts of Cobra."

So everyone headed towards the principal's office.

When they entered the principal's office, they found it empty except for a piece of paper on the desk.

Chronos stepped forward, picked it up, and said, "I'm going on a business trip for a while, so I'll leave the watch to you, Samejima."

"How could this happen? Oh my god!"

Everyone felt a headache coming on.

Judai couldn't help but sigh, "This headmaster..."

John couldn't help but frown: "Why did you have to mess things up at such a crucial moment?"

Asuka: "And Cobra is nowhere to be found either."

"What should we do now, Diaru?"

“No!” After a moment’s thought, Jaden looked at Chronos and said, “We must inform the other students about this as soon as possible. You have experience in this area, Chronos. Quickly arrange for the broadcast to stop others from participating in the duel. Although the Death Bracelet cannot be removed, as long as the duel does not occur, the students will not have their energy drained.”

"I understand~ It's a nursing problem, I'll arrange it right away!"

......

Meanwhile, in a dark underground laboratory.

Kobra was monitoring the academy's movements with a grim face. His mood had plummeted after hearing the broadcast that death duels had been unilaterally abolished.

"As expected, as long as that Judai Yuki is around, my original plan cannot proceed smoothly."

"But it doesn't matter, I've already found a way to replace that part of the power."

Kobra stared at Jaden on the screen with a cold smile.

"Although the energy hidden within Jaden Yuki was too powerful for the device to absorb, it allowed me to discover the dueling energy emanating from him."

"He unconsciously generates extremely high-quality energy during every duel; if one could harness that power..."

With this in mind, he began to modify the death gauntlet on his wrist.

......

A day later, the students who had fallen in the death duel gradually recovered.

However, Jaden and the others had not yet found Cobra's whereabouts. Just when they thought Cobra had already slipped away, he showed up on his own initiative.

Of course, Cobra didn't walk directly up to them, but instead told Jaden and the others where he was.

So the group immediately headed to Kobra's hiding place.

Before long, they found an abandoned laboratory in the forest not far behind the teaching building. The location was rather secluded and not easy to find.

When they arrived, Cobra was already waiting there.

"You really did come here, Yuki Judai."

Kobra was standing in front of the door with an incredibly exaggerated cone-shaped hairstyle.

"Aren't you going to hide anymore?"

"Hmph!" Professor Cobra snorted coldly, staring at Judai with a icy gaze: "It's all because of you that my plan has come to a halt!"

"So what?" Jaden crossed his arms. "Even after all this, aren't you going to stop the death duel and remove the Death Gauntlets? What are you planning? What exactly do you want to do by collecting the students' energy?"

"I can only know those questions after I've defeated you in a duel."

Asuka: "So, in the end, we still can't avoid a duel?"

John: "Then I'll do it!"

Manjoume: "No, I should do it!"

Jim: "I'll do it better!"

"..."

Knowing that a duel was about to take place, the others volunteered to step forward.

However, Cobra completely looked down on these people: "There's no point in sending trash like you. I've only named one person, Yuki Judai!"

“If you win, I will unlock everyone’s death bracelets and, incidentally, free O’Brien, whom I just captured yesterday who infiltrated my lab.”

Are there any other hostages?

Judai frowned upon hearing this; in that case, he would have to agree.

Even without mentioning the hostages, the death wristband must be removed. In this world where dueling is prevalent, duelists can't possibly refrain from playing cards forever; what if something goes wrong?

"Alright, I accept this duel!"

"That's right..."

Professor Cobra said, pressing a button on his belt.

beep!

Immediately, the duel disk hanging vertically on his right waist spun and suddenly came to rest horizontally on his waist.

Jaden also unfolded the Duel Disk.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yujo Judai: LP4000]

[Cobra: LP4000]

"I will attack first!"

After the duel began, Kobra decisively seized the initiative.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Cobra's hand card: 5→6]

After scanning his hand, Kobra slammed a card onto the duel disk without a second thought.

"First, I summon [Snake Venom Cobra] in defense mode."

A flash of white light appeared on the field, and a giant cobra covered in hard scales was projected.

[Snake Venom Cobra: Defense 2000]

"Then I'll plant two more cards..."

Two face-down cards appeared at his feet, and he drew another card from his hand and placed it on the field. "Activate Field Spell: [Snake Venom Swamp]!"

[Cobra's hand card: 6→2]

Swish!
