Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

I'm afraid that among his peers in this academy, except for the bug-like Yusei and the third-year Caesar Ryo, there is no one else who can compare to him, right?

"…Yada thief! This way the obstacle is removed!"

He clenched his right fist and then raised his arm with force, with a very proud look on his face.

Since the field magic card was destroyed, the surrounding scene changed from the glowing world tree to a brightly lit basement again.

Judai Yuki, who was overjoyed, immediately entered his own battle phase: "... Fight! [Masked Hero Acid Water] (Attack Power 2600) attacks [Shadow of the King of Wars Lopt] (Attack Power 2200)! Take it... The hero's Flash Kick!"

Hearing Yuki Judai's voice, Acid Water rushed towards Lopt like the Kamen Rider in the special effects drama.

Relying on the speed bonus brought by the sprint, Acid Water leaped up, aimed directly at Amnar in mid-air, and performed an accelerated flying kick, sending Loput to the far side in one fell swoop.

"……Well!"

The true damage added by the dark duel was also synchronously fed back to Amnar along with the attack of acid water.

After receiving 400 points of damage, the mask on his face began to collapse, and tiny cracks began to appear on his face.

Faintly, everyone seemed to be able to see Amnar's hideous face with countless bursting blood vessels through the gaps in the mask.

(Amnar LP: 4000 → 3600)

With the departure of [Shadow of the King's Battle Lopt], ​​the attack and defense power of [King Hal in the King's Battle] returned to the state before receiving the blessing.

[King Kai vs. King Hal] (Attack Power: 3700 → 2700)

"...The Thousand Eyes Narakashi, Special Summoned by Simple Fusion, cannot attack, so my battle phase ends here."

Entering Main Phase 2, Yuki Judai, who still had three cards left in his hand, thought for a moment, then covered two of them in the backfield, and activated the other card alone: ​​"...Next, I activate the Continuous Magic Card [Nightmare Mirage]! With the effect of this card, I can replenish my hand to four cards during the opponent's Standby Phase... But during my Standby Phase, I must discard the number of cards in my hand that I drew through this effect."

"So, among the two cards that Judai covered, one of them is [Extraordinary Food], right?" Looking at the magic card activated by Yuki Judai, Yusei also made a guess.

Just like Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] and Caesar's [Cyber ​​Dragon], Yuki Judai's [Mirage of Nightmare] and [Extreme Gourmet] are also firmly stuck together.

When [Mirage of Nightmare] appears, there must also be the quick-attack magic card [Extreme Food].

[Mirage of Nightmare] is responsible for drawing cards, while [Unusual Food] is responsible for destroying the cards after crossing them, sending the activated [Mirage of Nightmare] to the graveyard, thereby restoring health points while avoiding the negative effects of discarding cards in hand.

"My turn ends here. At this moment, the Thousand-Eyed Naraka that was Special Summoned by Simple Fusion will be destroyed and sent to my graveyard... and the Ice War King Nidhogg that it was equipped with will also return to your graveyard."

Waving his hand to end his turn, Yujo Judai handed the initiative of the turn to Amnar: "Okay, it's your turn."

Amnar: "..."

There was no rush to draw the card. Upon hearing the sound, Amnar just stopped where he was and did not make any movement.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ah! Pharaoh...where are you going!"

"That's... dangerous!"

Just when everyone was puzzled by Amnar's condition, the Pharaoh who was originally staying with Youxing and the others suddenly

He took a step forward and rushed towards Amnar.

Hayato and Sho couldn't help but exclaim at the Pharaoh's confusing movements.

However, to their surprise, the pharaoh, who was more exclusive of outsiders, curled up intimately in Amnar

's feet, posing like a good cat.

It was as if the last seven stars named Amnar were old acquaintances of it...

"What on earth is going on... Why would the Pharaoh do this to you..." Frowning at the current situation, a flash of lightning suddenly struck through Yujo Judai's mind: "Could it be that... your true identity is...?!"

An incredible possibility suddenly occurred to him, one that even surprised himself.

Could it be that the real identity of this man named Amnar is...

"Heh...that's right! It's just as you imagined!"

With a light laugh, Amnar shrugged his shoulders, reached out and took off the mask covering his face, revealing his true face to everyone: "I am... your Daitokuji teacher!"

Everyone: "...!!!"

What appeared before everyone was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Familiar squinting eyes, familiar smile, familiar personality atmosphere...

And the strange white hair, the strange collapsed face, and the strange aura...

The person in front of him is not only the last of the Seven Star Kings - Amnar, but also the Daitokuji teacher of everyone present!

"What's going on... If you are Daitokuji Sensei, then whose body is that...?"

With such doubts, Yujo Judai asked Amunar... no! It should be said that it was Master Daitokuji, "What is going on? Explain it to us! Master Daitokuji!"

Why, why do you do these things?

Why do you want to hurt everyone... and stand against us?

"That body..." Looking at the dried corpse lying in the coffin beside him, Daitokuji teacher chuckled, squatted down and stroked the Pharaoh's head, and explained: "...That body is my sacrificed self, and it is also the proof of my farewell to the past."

Yusei: "In the past...?"

"Yes, it was in the past..." Nodding, Daitokuji Sensei continued, "To put it simply... I used the power of alchemy to resurrect from the world of the dead."

Yujo Juyo: "So... that corpse and you now are both Daitokuji Sensei, right?"

"...You can understand it that way." Holding the Pharaoh and standing up, Master Daitokuji smiled slightly: "My body was destroyed a long time ago. Now I... have used the power of alchemy to attach my original soul to this body."

"...Huh?" After hearing the magical yet scientific explanation given by Master Daitokuji, everyone looked at each other and expressed doubts at the same time.

Transferring the soul to another body, as incredible as it sounds, is it really possible?

Daitokuji teacher: "I was originally an alchemist, traveling around the world, my goal was to find the [Philosopher's Stone]..."

Everyone: "... Philosopher's Stone? What is that?"

Teacher Daitokuji: "The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary gem sought after by alchemists. It is said to have the power to turn all metals into gold or create a magic potion that grants immortality..."

"… Immortality? Is this really possible?"

Hearing this outrageous effect, Youxing couldn't help but make a puzzled sound.

However, after seeing the current state of Master Daitokuji, he couldn't help but feel a sense of identification in his heart.

"Hehe... Throughout history, many people in power have been searching for the Philosopher's Stone in order to realize their wish of building a thousand-year kingdom... Therefore, during a certain period of time, alchemy, which was supported by various countries, experienced explosive growth."

“Until now, this has not changed.”

With a nostalgic look on his face, Mr. Daitokuji looked up at the ceiling above his head: "I am also conducting research in this area under someone's order..."

"Just like how Bekas found the Duel Monsters in the ruins in the past, my alchemy research has also returned to the Duel Monsters after countless twists and turns."

Everyone: "..."

Daitokuji teacher: "But... just when my research was taking a turn for the better, my body became incurable due to fatigue from long-term travel."

"…So, I placed my soul in the artificial life form created by alchemy, that is, the android."

"That kind of thing..."

After listening to the story told by the teacher from Daitokuji Temple, everyone couldn't help but show some emotion on their faces.

Diing before achieving success is a regret that many heroes cannot avoid...

"But after all, this artificial body is just fake flesh... Just recently, it has begun to decay, and my life will soon come to an end."

Pointing to the blue veins on his face, Mr. Daitokuji shrugged helplessly and said, "That's why I chose to leave you and speed up the completion of my experiment."

"I am not afraid of my own death... I am just worried that my experiments will not be able to continue after my death."

Touching his own face, feeling the vitality gradually draining from his body and the skin peeling off, Daitokuji teacher said leisurely: "Before death comes, even if it is for the sake of those who support my research, I must obtain the power to control the Ultimate Spirit!"

"...The ultimate spirit?" Yusei repeated the adjective and couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to control the three phantom demons?!"

"Heh...right." With a slight smile, Daitokuji teacher bluntly admitted his purpose: "If I master the power of the three phantom demons, I can use them to create the legendary Philosopher's Stone and gain the power of eternal life."

"is that a lie……"

Hearing this, Yujo Judai gritted his teeth and began to tremble slightly: "In other words, Daitokuji Sensei, you have been deceiving us... The memories of these days are also fake, and you are deliberately using us?"

"…How could this happen? Are you kidding me???"

"..."

Remaining silent in response to Yujo Judai's accusations, Daitokuji Sensei placed the Pharaoh in his arms on the ground and raised the duel disk in his hand again: "... Now let's start the second round and continue our duel."

419 Synchro Summon, Flower Baroness!

"…Teacher! Answer my question!"

Yujo Judai shouted in question to the indifferent Daitokuji teacher with an angry look on his face.

"...Yuki Judai, if you want to save the three people trapped by my grandmother's Book of Darkness, then you must defeat me in a duel! This is the final test I have prepared for you!"

Still without directly answering Yuki Judai's question, Daitokuji Sensei shook his arm and stated the significance of this duel.

The two sides' ideas conflicted and neither could convince the other.

Then at this time, only the winner of the duel can decide the next direction...

If Yujo Judai intends to save Manjome, Asuka, and Fubuki, then he must defeat Daitokuji, the last of the Seven Star Kings, to bring their story to an end.

"Heh...if you fail this test, then all the souls...will become my experimental materials!"

The corners of his mouth curled up, and his blood-red eyes suddenly opened. Daitokuji, who had always had a squinting look, finally revealed his true face at this moment, wantonly exuding a terrifying might: "It's my turn, draw a card!"

"At this moment, the effect of [Nightmare Mirage] is activated, and I draw four cards from my deck!"

"Then, I open the ambush card in the backfield again and activate the quick-attack magic - [Unusual Food]! Send the [Nightmare Mirage] on my field to the graveyard to restore 1000 health points."

Seeing the opportunity when Daitokuji teacher drew a card, Yuki Judai performed a chain move, avoiding the negative effects of [Mirage of Nightmare] while restoring his own 1000 health points.

(Yucheng Tenth Generation LP: 3000 → 4000)

"Heh... just trying to be clever!"

The wind blew up, and with a large swing of his arm, Daitokuji teacher suddenly pulled out a card from the deck, and cast his eyes on the card he had just picked up, and a happy arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "...Here it comes!"

As Daitokuji-sensei said this, he placed a card in his hand on his Duel Board. "First, I Normal Summon a 1-star Tuner monster in my hand - [Jet Synchron]."

The small robot with a rocket head appeared in front of everyone as Daitokuji moved.

On its body, you can vaguely see the outline of an airplane jet nozzle.

"...Adjusting the monster?" Looking at Daitokuji's actions, Yusei, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face: "A 1-star adjustment, plus a 9-star monster... Could it be..."

"Right! It's just as you thought!" Giving a positive answer to Yusei's guess, Daitokuji raised his arm and began this round: "...I will synchronize the 1-star [Jet Synchro] with the 9-star [Boom Kai King War Hal King] to perform a Synchro Summon!"

"Nani...Synchronous Summon?!"

As a teacher at the Fusion Academy, he actually took the lead in apostasy...

Xiang and Hayato both had speechless expressions on their faces in response to Daitokuji teacher's actions.

"O one-eyed king who lives on the World Tree! Together with the Synchronicians who represent hope, transform into a new force!"

"...Synchronous Summon! Appear! Level 10 - Flower Baroness!"

A rain of pink petals fell as Daitokuji spoke, and immediately floated in the air.

After that, a heavily armored knight riding a gorgeous warhorse and wearing red armor came before the teacher of Daitokuji Temple with great power.
