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

[Darkness cards in hand: 5→6]

Darkness extended its skeletal right claw, and black energy instantly solidified into a card on it, which looked extremely pretentious.

"I summon the Eye of Darkness."

As soon as He finished speaking, a black mist rose up in the front field, and a large eyeball connected to nerves appeared.

[Dark Eye: Attack Power 0]

"Then activate the field spell [Darkness], and use the effect of [Darkness] to randomly place one [Void], one [Infinity], one [Darkness1], one [Darkness2], and one [Darkness3]] face-down on the field from your hand and deck."

[Darkness cards in hand: 6→4]

Immediately, a card appeared at the tip of each of the five wings. At the same time, five cards also appeared at Darkness's feet.

"My turn is over."

Seeing five dark cards suddenly appear behind Him, Jaden frowned: "Five cards right off the bat...?"

I never expected this big boss to be a hardcore player, but thinking about it, it makes sense...

The card shown on the back does indeed represent one aspect of the world in Darkness, so that interpretation makes sense.

However, the final boss played a really bad trick... Emmmmm... No matter how you look at it, it feels like it lowers the class.

Of course, such trivial details were irrelevant to Jaden; all he needed to do was figure out how to eliminate the enemy.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 6]

Jaden suddenly drew a card, then flicked his wrist and decisively threw it out: "I activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Neuro Fusion]!"

"This card can send two Fusion Materials containing Elemental HERO Neos to the Graveyard from your hand, Deck, and field, and Special Summon the corresponding Fusion Monster regardless of its Summoning conditions."

Because Jaden forgot to ask John for the [Ultimate Gem Rainbow Dragon], he is currently unable to summon [Rainbow Neos], but fortunately he has other options.

"Let's go! I'm fusing [Elemental HERO Neos] and [Hubel] from my deck!"

Chapter 284 The Final Boss is a Mess! The Tenth Generation Arc Ends

"Show yourself, [Elemental Heroes Neo-Universe Sage]!"

The moment Jaden threw two of his most beloved cards into the graveyard, a golden pillar of light rose on the field, and Ultraman's new form, fused with Ubel, appeared before everyone's eyes as the light faded.

It wore a full set of jet-black demon armor, with a pair of demon wings sprouting from its head, and its eyes had turned into heterochromatic pupils like Hubert's.

[Elemental Heroes: New Universe Sage - Attack Power 3000]

Upon seeing the monster descend upon Jaden's arena, John, who was watching from the sidelines, exclaimed with shining eyes: "Wow! 3000 attack power!? A new hero, how exciting!"

Asuka nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's a card that Judai hadn't used before. What kind of effect will it have when combined with the hero [Ubel]...?"

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Jaden continued, "During the turn when [Neuro Fusion] is activated, I cannot Special Summon any other monsters."

Upon hearing this, Darkness's pair of blue-glowing eyes blinked. "Huh! You're quite confident in this monster?"

"But, Jaden Yuki! I will not let your monster live... Trap activated, [Void]!"

Immediately, a trap card on his right was flipped over. "[Void] can activate another trap card in conjunction... Reveal yourself, [Infinity]!"

The next second, the trap card in Zuo Zhong's hand was also opened.

"When the cards [Void] and [Infinity] are activated, all cards between them are activated. Void and Infinity, which fill the space between them, are called Darkness. The Continuous Trap [Darkness1] is awakened by these two cards."

Then, the cover card in the middle of Darkness opened.

"When this card is activated as [Void] or [Infinite], it destroys one card on your opponent's field for each of the Continuous Trap Cards called Darkness."

As soon as He finished speaking, the trap card in the middle shot out a bolt of lightning that struck the New Universe Sage, instantly causing a violent explosion.

boom--! !

"Hehehe...!"

However, as the smoke dissipated, the figure of the New Universe Sage reappeared before His eyes.

"Oh?"

Under Darkness's questioning gaze, Jaden explained, "Unfortunately, when a Fusion Monster on your field that requires Elemental HERO Neos as Fusion Material is destroyed, you can banish Elemental Fusion from your Graveyard instead, thus avoiding the destruction. This would waste your Trap."

"Hmm... but after both players finish their turn, my trap cards will all be set face-down in a random order. You won't be so lucky next time."

"Hehe, provided you can survive this turn." Jaden also realized that Darkness's five trap cards required the synergy between [Void] and [Infinite] to activate.

Five-layered shields may seem like a lot, but each activation effect is a one-time event. You can't choose the right time to select the effect, and what you can activate is purely based on luck.

Since Darkness has already used its effect this turn, it no longer poses a threat to Jaden.

Then Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Battle begins! [Elemental HERO Neosage] attacks [Eye of Darkness]!"

As soon as the sound faded, the New Universe Sage leaped into the air, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

But at that moment, Darkness suddenly raised its left claw, and one of the four cards floating on the grim white bones flipped over automatically.

"Then, I activate the effect of [Neophia the Dark Demon] in my hand. When my opponent declares an attack, I send one Fiend monster from my hand and one Fiend monster from the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from my hand."

In an instant, a cloud of black mist rose from the Eye of Darkness, which then transformed into an extremely evil demon.

It has long, crimson hair, sunglasses that cover its eyes, a large demon wing on its back, and a pure white wing on the other. Two scarlet eyeballs protrude from its left chest and right shoulder, making it look quite sinister.

[Dark Demon Neosphia: Attack Power 4000]

[Darkness cards in hand: 4→2]

The two people standing nearby widened their eyes in surprise.

John: "Attack power 4000!?"

Asuka: "How could this be?!"

Although Darkness, as a skeleton, had no expression, the three could still sense its current smugness: "[Dark Netherworld Demon Neosphia]'s attack power is overwhelmingly higher than [Elemental Hero Neocosm Sage], you can no longer attack."

"The listed Vadokana!"

"Nani?!"

Jaden sneered, pointed towards the demons, and roared, "Elemental HERO Neosage, attack Dark Demon Neosphia!"

At his command, a blue light emanated from the New Universe Sage, and several beams of light were released, blasting towards the opposite side of the field.

What do you intend to do?

Seeing Darkness's confusion, Judai loudly proclaimed, "At this moment, the special effect of Neo-Sage is activated!"

This card can only be activated before damage calculation when battling an opponent's monster. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that opponent's monster's ATK.

"How could this be!? My [Dark Netherworld Demon Neosphia] has an attack power of 4000..."

"Therefore, the damage inflicted on you is also 4000!"

"this......"

While Darkness stood there stunned, the attack from the New Universe Sage finally landed, all the beams of light bypassing the Dark Demon and striking Him.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom--! ! !

"Waaaaah... Ahhh...!"

[Darkness: LP4000→0]

"I have actually lost..."

Sensing that his body was about to collapse, the bewildered skeleton finally came to his senses and recognized the fact.

"This...this...you...I...this..."

He trembled all over. Even if he had come to terms with it, he still couldn't accept this cruel reality: 'Is the script wrong? I'm the final boss! Shouldn't I be torturing the protagonist to the point of near death before finally defeating myself?'

Because he lost so quickly, he felt like he was the most low-class villain. Despite his high level of power, he played cards terribly.

His eyes were unfocused, and his body gradually and completely collapsed and disappeared from the world. Perhaps one day he will reappear in the world, and then we can destroy him again, until he has no temper left.

With this, the threat of Darkness was completely eliminated, all the vanished humans were returned to the present world, and peace was restored to the world once again.

...........................

.................................

Time flies. Not long after the Darkness incident, Jaden and the others graduated and went their separate ways.

One day, Jaden put on his Duel Disk and went to Domino City alone. A young man with a starfish-shaped hairstyle was quietly waiting for him in the city square.

"I'm here, game!"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Judai!"

"As agreed, you'll tell me about your background once we've had a duel, right?"

As Jaden spoke, he raised his Duel Disk.

“Of course! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!” Yugi excitedly revealed his Duel Disk. “Let’s enjoy this duel, Jaden!”

Jaden replied just as excitedly, "Yes, of course!"

"Duel!!" ×2

Their voices instantly echoed throughout the city center, and the battle between the two strongest warriors was about to unfold!

...........................

.................................

P.S.: The Jaden arc ends here. The duel between Jaden and Yugi will be covered in the side story.

Chapter 1: The High-Speed ​​World

"Ladies and gentlemen! The greatest riding duel of the day is about to begin, and he has arrived!"

Inside a spacious and enormous competition venue in Shindomino City, amidst a cacophony of voices, a host, holding a topic and shaking his pompadour, was enthusiastically talking, spittle flying everywhere.

"Let us welcome our king, Jack Atlas!!"

As the host, sporting an airplane-shaped hairstyle, introduced the event, a high-frequency engine sound came from the entrance of the venue, followed by a large white vehicle speeding towards the venue like lightning.

As is customary, Jack, riding on this wheel, raised his arm high, in a gesture of begging for domination, and shouted, "There can only be one king, and that king is me!!"

Car Crash King: Auntie, a kids' meal, please!

His incredibly stylish entrance (laughs) instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience.

"King! King! King!" ×N

Wearing a white cycling jersey that blends seamlessly with the white wheels, the tall, blond man looked around, quietly enjoying the glory of being the center of attention.

"The 143rd Duel King Tournament! The strongest deck that maintains its undefeated myth, can our king finally be defeated?"

"Faced with this challenger, Enjou Mukuro! How will the King meet the challenge of this fearless challenger? Let's wait and see!"

The pompadour-haired host and staff exchanged a glance, and after confirming that the time was almost up, spoke again: "The time has come to use the Field Spell, King and Challenger! Field Spell, [High-Speed ​​World] activated!"

Jack tapped a button on the screen, and a mechanical voice immediately announced: "Duel mode, autopilot ready!"

The next moment, the world in everyone's eyes was suddenly filtered through a purple lens, as if they were truly in a high-speed world different from reality.

"Now, the field is dominated by the High Speed ​​World, so spell cards other than Speed ​​Spells (Sp) can't be activated!"

"The most distinctive feature of Ride Duels, High Speed ​​Spells, are Spell Cards that can only be activated in fields using High Speed ​​World. Unlike regular Spells, their activation conditions are determined by the number of High Speed ​​Counters. In other words, the duelist's Speed ​​Counter becomes a spell!"

"Then, the duel begins!"

.............................................

.............................................................

Compared to the bustling city center, the nearby satellite district is much quieter.

The satellite district was formerly known as Domino City, but it was reduced to ruins in a major disaster many years ago, leaving it largely uninhabited.

It was in this very place that a stern-faced man sped through the ruins on a bright red motorcycle.

This person is named Fudo Yusei. He has no parents and currently resides in the Satellite District.

A few minutes earlier, he had obtained the D-wheel engine chip from his partner Larry, but because the chip was stolen, it attracted the attention of the police.

To distract the cops and allow everyone to escape, Yusei drove the D-Wheel and drew their attention, and was currently on a fantastic getaway.

However, his previously solemn expression now revealed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
