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

"A monster formed by the fusion of the three Phantom Demons?"

"This is the ultimate phantom demon!?"

With the birth of Amitel, the three Phantoms in 'Marden's' hands were completely reduced to ashes and disappeared.

'Heh, so the remaining power can't support the existence of three cards... Oh well, your mission is complete anyway.'

'Maldon' then said coldly, "[Chaos Illusion Demon Amitair] can inflict 10000 combat damage on the opponent once per turn!"

"What!?" x2

O'Brien: "In that case, the attack power will be 10000 points."

“However, your battle phase is over…” Jaden said this, but he knew that the effect of this Chaos Phantom was definitely not what he knew, and the effect was not limited to this.

"How naive you are, Judai."

'Malden' immediately raised his right hand and shouted: "Amitaire's other effect is activated. During the main phase, when the main phase is transferred to the opponent's field, when using this effect, during the end phase, banish all cards on the field of Amitaire's owner except this card!"

Upon hearing this, Jaden realized something was amiss. This effect was clearly different from the actual card effect, but there was a corresponding card—【Chaos Phantom Amitel - Void Illusion Luo Shengmen】.

Its key feature is that it activates the effect on the opponent's field, banishing cards. Because the effect is activated on the opponent's field, it is very effective against some one-way resistances.

A short while later, Amitel appeared on Jaden's field in a flash.

"Take this, Judai! Illusory Phantom Rasengan!"

Amitel's lower jaw gaped open, spewing out a torrent of dark magic mist that poured onto Jaden's field.

With a flash of light, Neos and Radiant Moss on the field instantly disappeared.

Then 'Maldon' continued, "Then, Amitaire returned to his original field, which is to say, to my side."

Amitair once again flashed back onto His field.

"That concludes my turn."

Next, it was John's turn to play, and he was already quite eager.

"Up!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

John glanced at his hand and revealed it immediately: "Activate a Continuous Spell, [Emerald Tree]!"

As he inserted the card into the duel disk, a golden light flashed, and a bare sapling appeared beside him.

"The effect of the [Gem Tree] is that whenever I place a [Gem Beast] in a spell and trap zone, it will add a Gem Counter."

He then placed the second spell card into the spell/trap card slot. "I activate the Equip Spell [Golden Jade], and select two [Crystal Beasts] from my deck to set as Continuous Spells on the field."

"Based on this effect, I placed the Jade Pegasus and the Amber Mammoth in the magic and trap zone."

Immediately, a sapphire and an amber appeared at his feet.

"At this moment, based on the effect of the [Gem Tree], place a gem on the tree."

A red gem shaped like a fruit suddenly appeared on the bare branch.

"And according to the effect of [Golden Jade Bars], I Special Summon [Jade Beast Ruby Beast] from my hand."

Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a small four-eared beast with a ruby ​​attached to its tail appeared on the field.

【Jade Beast Crimson Jade Beast: Attack Power 300】

John Anderson's hand cards: 5 → 3

"When Ruby is successfully Special Summoned, set the Spell & Trap Zone to Special Summon as many Ruby Beasts as possible."

John waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, everyone wake up, Ruby Joy!"

Ruby~~!

Two beams of red light shot out from the gem on the tail of the Ruby Beast, activating the two gems behind it. The gems exploded instantly, revealing a white Pegasus and a mammoth inside.

【Jade Beast Pegasus: Attack Power 1800】

【Jade Beast Amber Mammoth: Attack Power 1700】

"The moment Jade Pegasus enters the field, its special effect activates, and you can select one [Crystal Beast] from your Deck and place it in the Spell & Trap Zone."

"Come out, Jade Turtle!"

A flash of green light appeared at John's feet, revealing a rough emerald.

At the same time, another ruby ​​appeared on the jade tree.

"Then, the effect of [Gem Tree] is activated, sending this card to the Graveyard and placing [Gem Beasts] equal to the number of jewels on the tree into the Spell & Trap Zone."

"Appear, Cobalt Spinel Eagle and Amethyst Cat!"

The Tree of Precious Jade vanished from the field in an instant, leaving behind rubies that transformed into deep blue sapphires and amethysts.

"It's not over yet..."

John said this as he played his third magic card.

"I activate the Spell Card [Crystal Guide], and when there are two or more [Crystal Beast] cards in my Spell & Trap Zone, I Special Summon one [Crystal Beast] monster from my Deck."

John Anderson's hand cards: 3 → 2

"I will Special Summon the last Jade Tiger."

A flash of yellow light appeared, followed by a white tiger with iron horns.

[Jade Beast Yellow Tiger: Attack Power 1600]

After watching his companion's actions, Jaden suddenly realized: "The seven Jewel Beasts are all gathered on the field... John, are you planning to...?"

John nodded and said excitedly, "That's right! I've laid so much groundwork, and I've been waiting for this moment. The Rainbow Dragon is finally about to make its appearance!"

Chapter 237 The Ultimate Jewel God, Hubert Appears

"Maldon, I want to thank you, because you will be the first person to be defeated by my strongest monster!"

"Nani?!"

"I have seven gems on my field, this is the dream I've always pursued!" John drew the card from his hand, held it high, and shouted, "Appear, [Ultimate Gem Rainbow Dragon]!"

In an instant, a seven-colored divine light illuminated the earth.

"What is that...?"

Under 'Marden's' questioning gaze, the seven-colored light condensed into the shape of a dragon, quickly transforming into a holy white dragon with a pair of broad, pure white wings and a body nearly a hundred meters long.

Roar--! !

[Ultimate Gem Rainbow Dragon: Attack Power 4000]

John Anderson's hand cards: 2 → 1

"What?! What is this monster...?"

In response to 'Malden's' question, John excitedly explained, "When there are seven 'Crystal Beast' cards on the field and in the graveyard, Rainbow Dragon will descend, and only then will my deck be truly complete!"

Now, all the monsters on his field have a combined attack power of 9400, which, combined with the effect of Jade Tiger, is just enough to kill the opponent in one turn.

So he immediately commanded, "When Huang Yuhu is fighting a monster, his attack power increases by 400 points! Go, Huang Yuhu, attack Amitel!"

Upon receiving the attack order, Huang Yuhu immediately pounced on Amitair.

[Jade Tiger Beast: Attack Power 1600 → 2000]

"Hmph..." Malden sneered calmly, "Do you think that level of attack will work on Amitel?"

Amitair waved his right hand and casually slapped Huang Yuhu back.

"what?"

Upon seeing this, John's pupils suddenly contracted.

'Malden' continued smugly, "Amitaire cannot be destroyed by battle, and all damage dealt to yourself by this card, which is Special Summoned by Fusion Kill, is reduced to zero."

"Wouldn't that make you invincible!?"

John gritted his teeth, looking somewhat unwilling. "Rainbow Dragon's effect cannot be activated during the turn it is Special Summoned, so I'll set aside another card. End of turn."

John Anderson's hand cards: 1 → 0

“I won’t let your efforts go to waste, John!”

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

After drawing a card, Jaden immediately placed his other hand card onto the Duel Disk. "I'll first summon a Defense Monster on the field, then set aside a card, and end my turn."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 1]

He looked at the card at his feet and thought, 'With this card [half-damaged, not broken], the Rainbow Dragon won't be easily destroyed, and John's life can be saved.'

As the tenth generation announced the end of the turn, 'Marden' couldn't wait to draw a card.

"My turn!"

"Hmph, the game's almost over, and I'm tired of it too..."

Upon hearing this, Judai frowned. "What are you talking about? The duel isn't over yet!"

“No…” 'Marden' looked at Judai, his eyes filled with both deep affection and fierce light. “Judai, we’ve fought for so long, yet you still can’t remember me. It’s so heartbreaking!”

Judai was getting impatient. "In the end, you've always been occupying other people's bodies and have never shown your true form. Who knows who you really are?"

"Oh, I see. Then it was my fault..."

'Maldon' seemed to have just thought of this and clapped his hands, then said, "Never mind, I've already absorbed enough dueling energy using this body in this duel, and my body has been completely repaired."

"What did you say?"

"Is His true form finally about to appear?"

"Please, look at me carefully, Judai!"

After he finished speaking, numerous specks of light floated out from 'Maldon's' body, instantly converging into a demonic figure.

A humanoid demon, slightly taller than an ordinary person, with a cold and beautiful face and a touch of heroism, whose body has both male and female characteristics, making it difficult to tell whether he is male or female.

A pair of dragon wings folded behind her, and a blood-red vertical pupil suddenly opened in the center of her forehead, its orange and green heterochromatic pupil staring straight at Jaden.

John: "What? That guy is...?"

"How could this be!?" Judai stared at the being before him in utter astonishment.

"It seems you've finally remembered me, Judai."

Judai was somewhat incredulous: "Why you, Hubert?"

That's right, the being before us is the Duel Spirit, Yubel (also known as Yubel).

After casually tossing Malden's body aside, Huber said, "This is all for you, Judai."

No matter how far away you are from me, no matter how long it takes, you will always belong to me. Only you, I will never let you go back.

“Hubel…” Memories of their childhood flashed through Judai’s mind, and he questioned her, “If you want to hate someone, just hate me. Why drag others into it?”

Doppel, however, with a yandere-like demeanor, denied it, saying, "Hate? No, it's all my love for you, Judai!"

"Have the emotions become distorted...?"

Jaden gritted his teeth, 'I really don't want to face this, but if the time comes, I must defeat Hubel...'

Seemingly sensing Jaden's hesitation, John turned to him and said, "Jaden, I'm counting on you from now on! I'll end this duel myself!"

"John?"

At this point, Judai was unaware of the former's intentions.

Meanwhile, watching the interaction between the two, Huber became even more jealous: "How annoying! Well then, let's just finish you off first, Amitair, attack Rainbow Dragon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying malice instantly condensed on Amitel's body and was released towards John.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!" John grinned, raised his fist, and shouted, "Let me show you the true power of the Rainbow Dragon! Activate the special effect!"

You can activate this effect by sending all face-up "Crystal Beast" monsters you control to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK for each monster sent to the Graveyard. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.
