Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

③: If this card is in the Graveyard and there is no card in your hand or on the field, you can activate this card when your opponent declares a direct attack.

-

"A monster with 0 attack power..."

Like the Divine Flame Emperor Uriah, the attack power of the Source Dragon is also 0.

However, Yingwan, feeling the tremendous pressure, obviously would not compare the golden dragon in front of him with those small monsters before.

"...Activate the effect of the Spell Card [Utopian Power] in the Graveyard. If this card is in the Graveyard and an XYZ monster with a Level 10 or higher "Hope" is Special Summoned by the effect, you can activate this card by targeting that Special Summoned monster. Place this card under that monster as an XYZ Material."

While explaining the monster effect of the Source Dragon, Yusei also cast a sympathetic look in the direction of Kagemaru: "...Next, I remove one of the Source Dragon's Xyz Materials and activate its monster effect... Let this card's ATK increase by a value equal to the total Rank of all Xyz Monsters on the field x 1000 points until the end of your opponent's turn!"

The rank of [No.100 Source Dragon] is 1, and the rank of [No.99 Hope Emperor Hope Dragona] is 12...

So at this moment, the attack power of [No.100 Source Dragon] will surge to 13000 points!!!

([No.100 Source Dragon] Attack power: 0→13000)

"Attack power... is actually 13000 points!!!"

His eyes suddenly widened as he watched the golden dragon's attack power surge to an extremely terrifying number. The expression on Yingwan's face could no longer remain calm.

After realizing that he was about to be defeated, he began to wave his arms wildly and screamed uncontrollably: "...Ahhhhhh!!! Impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!! I, Phantom Demon, am invincible in the world!!! How could... How could I lose to a stinky boy like you!!!"

"All my years of business... all I've given... I..."

"……it's over!"

Speaking calmly, Yusei waved his hand to interrupt Yingwan's speech, and then directly issued the final judgment: "【No.100 Source Dragon】, attack 【Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel】!"

"...All things are reconstructed, and the heaven and earth are created!!!"

The power of source numbers is in operation, and heaven and earth roar.

The golden dragon opened its mouth and sprayed out a golden energy wave in the direction of the three phantom demons.

Across the void, leaving a long trail, the creation strike from Yuan Shulong swallowed up Yingwan and the three phantom demons he relied on...

Then, the light and darkness disappeared together.

With the end of the duel, the figures of the three phantom demons and the source dragon have all disappeared.

All that was left before everyone's eyes was Yingwan's figure, now restored to his old state and lying sickly on the ground...

(Kagemaru LP: 0)

"…Is it…over?"

"we won?"

"The three phantom demons...were defeated by Yusei?!"

“Aaaaaaah…Mamma Mia!!!”

……

The result of the dark duel ended with Yusei's absolute victory.

After losing the power of the Three Phantom Demons, the vitality that Yingmaru obtained from the Duel Monsters was also untied and fed back to the monsters.

"Back! Everyone is back!"

"Aaaaaah... Look! My rare card is back to normal!"

Countless rays of light flowed out of Yingwan's body and returned to their original places.

As for the monsters of the crowd and the changes that occurred in various parts of the world, those places that were affected by the appearance of the Three Phantom Demons have now returned to their original appearance.

“I lost…”

After struggling to stand up from the ground, the old Yingmaru looked in the direction of Yuxing: "Yuxing...you won this duel..."

"Kagemaru...you..."

Looking at Yingmaru's miserable appearance at this moment, Youxing, who put away the duel disk in his hand, couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

Logically speaking, at this time, he should use his mouth to influence the villain like Naruto did, and then pull him into his camp.

But... as for the bad old man Yingwan, Youxing just couldn't muster the urge to change him.

If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences.

There is no question of whether it can be cleaned or not.

Although he did not intend to take his life just like that, he would have to make amends in the days to come.

"Why? Why did you make such a big mistake, Chairman?"

Seeing that the duel was over, Principal Samejima hurried to Yingmaru and helped him up.

His attitude towards his old friend was also very contradictory.

On the one hand, he blamed Kagemaru for the many problems he had caused, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but lament the tragic result of a hero growing old and a brave man turning into a dragon.

In the past, Yingwan had great ambitions and was the kind of person he aspired to be.

But now, he is just an old fool who made a huge mistake and was awakened by the younger generation!

"That's because... I really want to be younger, especially when I see you young people... the desire becomes even stronger... No matter what, I want to become young again and gain eternal life..."

"The fear of death has always been lingering in my heart, and it has also changed my mind... Without the power of the phantom demon, even a simple action like standing up would require me to consume almost all of my physical strength..."

With a long sigh, Yingwan leaned against Principal Samejima's body and fell into a frustrated state. He shook his head and said, "Perhaps... it was this obsession that affected me and led me down a path of no return."

“It’s understandable, but I can’t agree with it.”

Nodding, Youxing expressed his thoughts: "Kagemaru... Chairman, what you have to do next is to atone for your mistakes. Those who were hurt by you before, and the teacher Daitokuji who was used by you... These people who have passed away, or those who are still alive, they all need you to make amends..."

Yingwan: “…”

Although he remained silent, judging by the regretful expression on Yingwan's face, it was obvious that he had experienced everything.

After being hit hard by Fayuan Shuryu's "Chuuni Correction Fist" and being awakened from his dream of conquering the world, Yingmaru realized the serious mistakes he had made and was willing to accept suggestions from others.

If...if this duel was won by Kagemaru, then...the current situation would have been completely different...

Only now that we have lost can we achieve this more satisfactory result.

"...Of course, I welcome you to challenge me at any time!"

Tapping his duel disk, Youxing showed a bright smile on his face: "Next time, don't rely on the three phantom demons. Use your own strength to duel with me!"

"Youxing..."

Yingmaru could sense that Youxing still had many opinions about him.

However, he could also feel Youxing's true meaning from these words.

He is indeed more passionate about dueling than I am.

These remarks were indeed his true thoughts.

"Samejima...you really taught a good student!"

After patting Principal Samejima's shoulder vigorously, Yingmaru handed his deck to him and waved in the opposite direction of the sky, signaling for the plane to pick him up.

Just like that, in front of everyone's witness, the mastermind behind the Seven Stars Incident, one of the founders of the Duel Academy, left with a look of relief on his face.

Just as he came, he disappeared from everyone's lives.

From now on, his life will be lived to atone for his sins.

For the rest of his life, he will continue to live with the fear of illness and death.

For Yingmaru, the act of living itself is a challenge, perhaps even more painful than death.

But in any case, he has found a new goal in life.

"So... I never taught Yusei..."

Principal Samejima, holding the card deck, touched his big bald head with a troubled look on his face and watched the plane gradually disappearing in the sky. He couldn't help but sigh.

……

After that, Principal Samejima placed the cards of the three phantom demons into the pedestal and sealed it again.

This time, the key to the card will be kept by him personally.

After learning from many previous lessons, Principal Samejima directly raised the security level of the key to the highest level this time and took various countermeasures.

It was obvious that he would never be able to obtain the key again after behaving like Manjome had done before.

In this way... I believe no one will use these dangerous cards and pose a threat to the world.

Anyway...

As the card was sealed, the seven obelisks extending from the ground returned to their original positions.

The many impacts brought about by the mutation, the three phantom magic cards that once brought fear and shock to everyone, the series of events caused by them, and the duel with the seven star kings... all came to an end.

Time will also move towards a new day.

433 The Prototype of the New Master Rules

“Ahhh… why… why can’t I draw the fusion! And this extra slot is really worrying!”

“Hehehe… Judai! Since you’re stuck, I won’t be polite!”

"Uh……"

"…Successful! Friend-man directly attacks Yuki Judai!!! Watch out, hero flash!!!"

"..."

Duel Academy, Osiris Red Dormitory.

After resolving the phantom demon rebellion, Yusei, who had nothing to do, was using the device in his hand to engage in the recently popular online duel battle with his roommates.

Simply put, this is a brand new business led by Seahorse Entertainment Group and Fantasy International that is ready to be rolled out worldwide.

There is no need for a duel disk or any additional venue. All you need is a mobile phone or other similar electronic device with a touch screen and the corresponding program downloaded, and you can fight anytime and anywhere.

You can play doubles with your friends online to train each other, or you can enter the wild area for random matching and beat the newbies...

The card information is basically built-in and the source is the information database within large companies. Everyone can freely choose cards from it to form the desired card group.

Of course, for operational considerations, systems that require spending money, such as card drawing, pack opening, and rare card pools, are definitely indispensable.

If you want to get powerful and rare cards, you will inevitably have to spend a lot of time, or money, and you also have to have a certain amount of character and luck...

In addition, in this type of online battle rules, in addition to the previous regular rules, you can also choose to use the recently released connected monsters and the new master rules.

That is - the first attacker cannot draw cards, the initial health value is increased from 4000 to 8000, and on the basis of the original five grids in the front field of both sides, an additional EX area is added, which is specifically used to summon linked monsters.

If you want to perform a Pendulum Summon from the Extra Deck, you must first use a Link Monster to open a slot.

If... Yuxing and the others' previous duels were all at the Master Rule 3, then now, this duel has come to the New Master Rule.

For now, the new master rules are still in the initial testing stage and have not been truly implemented, and many people are not familiar with them.

Therefore, most people still use the old duel rules to duel, and only a small number of people are trying to adapt, learn, and change with an attitude of trying new things...

……

"That Hayato guy...seemed like he was renting a deck all night last night." Yuki Judai, who had put away his equipment and was defeated due to a hand jam, looked at Hayato who was stuck to the bed and couldn't help but speak out.

"Well...unlike us, Hayato is already a student who has been held back for a year. If he fails the upcoming final exams again, he will most likely face the risk of being expelled."

"Yusei... although it's true... but if you say that, won't Hayato be more stressed?"

"Ah... sorry, sorry."

"..."

Hayato, with his back to the crowd, was looking at the wall with a worried look on his face, thinking about his life and his future plans.

Just as Youxing said, this year is also the last year for him.

Because of his poor academic performance, his father even rushed to Duel Academy, intending to take him back to inherit the family business. Fortunately, Hayato desperately showed his determination at that time, which made his father change his mind and gave up the plan to let Hayato drop out of school.

And now, this pressure has once again come to Hayato.
