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

O'Brien quickly stepped forward and helped John, who was lying on the ground, up: "His breathing is normal, he should be fine, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. All their efforts and Caesar's sacrifice had not been in vain.

After a while.

"Um......"

John's eyes suddenly twitched, and then he opened them.

Those eyes were no longer the dull, orange color they once were; instead, they had returned to their former clear, emerald-green hues, and the look in them had softened back to how gentle they had been.

Judai: "John, are you alright?"

John: "Judai...am I saved...?"

Jim adjusted his hat. "Yes! You're safe and sound, John!"

John looked relieved upon hearing this: "That's great..."

Thus, Judai and his party have completed their first mission in this world.

Next, Judai's task is to personally settle his karmic debt with Hubert.

Chapter 262 The Final Battle Between Jaden and Hubert

"I've learned a lot since coming here."

The person who said this was Daichi Misawa, who led Tania along the trail left by Jaden and the others.

"This world exists in twelve parts, which are united by an evil will, ready to dominate it."

Tania: "That's right, we've been forcibly brought into this world."

Judai: "The one who wants to control twelve people..."

Misawa continued, "I'm afraid that guy has his sights set on you. He previously controlled Cobra to try and dominate the academy, then Duel Academy was dragged into another world, and then it shifted to Gana Malden. Now he's eyeing the Overlord within you, preparing to control twelve of them himself."

"Indeed, the person who did all this was Hubert."

“That’s right. The only way to end this crisis is to defeat Hubel, and right now, you are the only one who can do that, Judai.”

Judai nodded and replied, "Yes, this is my responsibility."

Judai got up and prepared to go behind the gate to fight Hubert.

Just then, John, who was lying in O'Brien's arms, called out to him, "Judai, wait."

“John?” Judai turned around and looked at John.

The latter handed over his deck and said, "If possible, I would like to fight as well, but my body is too weak right now. At least take my cards with you, Jaden."

"Well, I see."

Jaden draws the top card from John's deck—[Ultimate Gem Rainbow Dragon].

Chronos: "Be careful, Jaden, you're having a meltdown."

O'Brien: "That's the enemy's home turf. Who knows what dangerous traps might be lurking there."

Jim: "We'll pray for you here. This world is in your hands."

Everyone knows that the area ahead is dangerous, and if too many people go in, it will only hold Jaden back and cause unnecessary trouble.

Only Asuka took Judai's hand and followed him, gently saying to him, "At least I want to go with you to X and witness your final battle with Him, Judai."

Upon hearing this, Judai squeezed Asuka's hand in return, saying, "Thank you, Asuka."

At this moment, the two, who were of one mind, no longer needed to say anything more.

A short while later, the two walked hand in hand through the door and headed to another space.

......

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jaden and Asuka finally found a lift platform that led to the upper level.

Using that elevator, the two finally reached the top floor.

As they walked along, they surveyed the surrounding environment shrouded in black mist.

Until they saw dark clouds gathering in the sky above, with a vortex in the center, "Is it there...?"

Judai intuitively felt that Bell was waiting for him there.

"Let's go, Judai."

Asuka gripped his hand even tighter, clearly very worried.

"Ah."

So the two of them walked toward the vortex of black clouds, and then their bodies rose into the air and flew toward the vortex.

Passing through the clouds, what I saw was not a clear blue sky, but an even more endless darkness and countless large bubbles.

The moment they touched one of the bubbles, they both saw a scene that reminded them of the time when Jaden was playing cards with the boy next door, and the boy was hurt by Hubert.

"This is... Huber's memory?"

"Is this the past of the tenth generation?"

Just then, the two suddenly heard Hubert's voice, "Do you remember now, Judai? I've always lived for you, and I've removed those who made you cry from your side."

Judai raised his head and said with dissatisfaction, "Hubert, this is how you hurt my friends. Because of you, none of your friends dare to approach me."

"Don't you have me as your best friend? You just need to look after me!"

"Hubert..."

Just as Jaden was about to say something, the two touched the next bubble.

That was the scene where Jaden drew Neos when he was a child, and sent the draft and Hubert together into space.

"That's too much, Judai. I love you so much, and you've abandoned me to the universe."

"No! I want you to accept the correct fluctuations of the universe and correct the distortions in your heart!"

Hubert, however, was unconcerned. “There are all sorts of fluctuations in the universe, and I was inside that space capsule when I was infused with a dazzling fluctuation of light that possessed great power, which gave me strength.”

"A wave of light..."

"So, just as Jaden said, we were indeed affected by the Light of Destruction?"

Hubert continued, “I cried and called out to you every day, but you never responded to me.”

"I know that your soul, fused with the Overlord's, is too powerful, and it instinctively rejected my interference. But the long period of lonely suffering still made me notice that you have forgotten me. Why do I love you so much, yet Judai treats me like this?"

"It wasn't until then that I realized this was how Jaden's love was expressed. Jaden hurt me and caused me so much pain because she loved me. Because of you, I will never forget you when I was in so much pain. I was truly happy when you helped me unravel all the mysteries!"

"So I've decided to let all the twelve universes see my love for Jaden. As long as you suffer, you'll surely notice my love, hehehehe."

Judai had already sensed from Hubert's words that His mental state was not right, His logic was too abnormal, and He was completely a yandere.

Even Asuka, who was standing to the side, felt a little sorry for the other party. "Judai, if possible, please help him escape from this sea of ​​suffering."

Judai nodded. He knew very well that Hubert was acting this way simply because he was too lonely and had misunderstood the meaning of love.

He also understood that it was neither Hubert's fault nor his own, because His will was influenced by the destructive tendency of the Light of Destruction.

All he could do was eliminate that power through a duel. "Wait for me, Hubert... I'll bring you back to your senses soon."

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Jaden and Asuka finally reached the end of the darkness.

After passing through a layer of mist, the view suddenly became clear, and the two finally saw the three-eyed demon, Hubel, who had been waiting in this space for a long time.

As they stood above the clouds, the mist between Jaden and Huber dissipated, transforming into a dueling arena.

Hubert then raised his left hand, his left arm rapidly twisting into a duel disk, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Jaden. Let's duel. I will make you suffer. Pain and sorrow are the only way for us to understand each other's love."

"Then come on."

Jaden knew that at this point, nothing he said would make a difference, and only a duel was the simplest way to resolve everything.

Chapter 263 Hubert's Matching Card

At this moment, Asuka, who was standing to the side, quietly retreated to the back so as not to disturb them.

Then the duel between Judai and Hubert began.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yujo Judai: LP4000]

[Hubert: LP4000]

"I'll attack first."

Hubert drew a card first.

"Draw a card!"

[Hubert's hand cards: 5→6]

于贝尔扫视9了一遍手0牌之后4，先8是把一张4手牌插入魔陷2卡槽内：“9首先0，我从手牌中5发动永续魔法【成熟年代记】。”

As soon as He finished speaking, a scroll was unfurled vertically in mid-air in His field, with two large circles drawn on the background, connected by five symbols.

Jaden frowned slightly upon seeing this. "Mature Chronicle? I've never seen this card before..." (It was just released recently)

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Hubel then threw out another card from his hand: "Activate the Spell Card [One-on-One], discard one monster as a condition to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from your hand or Deck."

"I discard [Splittered Demon Realm Rose] and Special Summon [Sacrifice Demon Realm Lotus] in Defense Position."

A flash of light appeared on the field, and a lotus monster with demonic claws was projected out, emitting an eerie laugh.

'Hmph hmph hmph.'

[Sacrifice the Demon Lotus: Defense 0]

[Hubert's hand cards: 6→3]

"Another card I've never seen before. What could possibly come out?" Jaden's brows furrowed even more.

"You'll find out soon enough, Judai."

Hubert first pointed to the scroll beside him and explained, "This is the effect of the perpetual magic [Chronicle of Maturity]!"

Each time a [Hubel] monster or a monster with [Hubel] in its name is Special Summoned, place 1 Chronology Counter on this card.

Immediately, a symbol on the scroll lit up.

[Chronology of Maturity: Chronological Indicators 0→1]

Seeing this, Jaden suddenly realized: "It's actually your own matching card?! And both of them are..."

The ability to light up a counter for a perpetual spell clearly indicates that the Demon Lotus is also a related card.

“That’s right…” Hubert pointed to the Demon Lotus at his feet and continued, “Then, the monster effect of [Demon Lotus Sacrifice] activates.”

"Special Summon a [Hubel] monster from your Deck by sacrificing yourself."

"What I'm summoning is myself, of course, hehehehe..."

Suddenly, two identical figures split off from Hubert, with the extra one standing in front.

Its expression was not as vivid as before, indicating that this was just an illusion created by Hubert at random.

[Hubert: Attack Power 0]

Asuka asked in confusion, "Level 10, but attack power is only zero?"

Without turning his head, Jaden explained, "[Ubel] cannot be destroyed by battle and deals zero damage to itself. However, when attacked in attack position, it deals damage to the opponent equal to the attacking monster's ATK. Of course, if it doesn't sacrifice one of its own monsters at the end of its turn, it will destroy itself."

"As expected of the Tenth Generation, he knows everything about me."

With a charming smile, Hubert continued, "Furthermore, due to my own special summoning, the perpetual magic [Mature Chronicle] will place another chronology marker."

The second symbol was immediately lit up.

[Chronology of Maturity: Chronological Indicators 1→2]

He then played his third spell card: "I activate the spell card [Monster Resurrection]!"

[Hubert's hand cards: 3→2]

"I resurrect the [Sacrifice of the Demon Lotus] from the graveyard on my field, thereby placing another Age Indicator."

As the Demon Lotus reappeared, the third scroll lit up.
