Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"The effect of Flash Flame Wingman is - for every [Elemental Hero] card in the Graveyard, his attack power will increase by 300 points."

Explaining the effect of the hero in a deep voice, Yuujo Judai continued, "Right now, in my graveyard, there are four monsters: Wingman, Explosion Girl, Bubble Man, and Clay Man, so Flash Flame Wingman's attack power will increase by 1200 points!"

([Elemental Hero: Flash Flame Wingman] Attack Power: 2500 → 3700)

“Hehehe…did you summon the Flash Flame Winged Man who can rival the Flash Phoenix Man?” Blinking his eyes, Ed said with a smile: “But… in terms of attack power, the Flash Phoenix Man is still higher!”

The attack power of Ed's Flash Phoenix is ​​4300 points after the bonus.

On the other hand, after receiving the bonus, the attack power of the Flashing Flame Winged Man is 3700 points.

Judging from the numbers alone, Yuki Judai's hero is indeed no match for Ed.

but……

"Don't be impatient! Ed... my strategy isn't over yet!" Yuki Judai said as he showed the last card in his hand: "Next, I will target Flash Flame Wingman and activate the equipment magic card [Beloved Hero] in my hand!"

On the card image is the silhouette of a flaming winged man using a finishing move, reflected by Joseph.

At this moment, Yuki Judai chose to equip this key card that could change the situation on the Flashing Flame Wingman.

-

【My Favorite Hero】

(Equip Magic Card)

Effect: Can only be equipped to a Level 5 or higher "Hero" monster. The effect of this card name can only be used once per turn.

①: If there is a card in your Field Zone, the equipped monster's ATK increases by its original DEF value, and it cannot be targeted by the opponent's effects.

②: You can only activate this card at the beginning of your/your opponent's Battle Phase. Select 1 Field Magic Card from your hand or deck to activate this card.

③: When the equipped monster attacks and destroys the opponent's monster, you can activate this card by sending it to the Graveyard. The attacking monster can only attack once more.

-

"...Beloved hero? Could it be possible?"

"That's right! I will go straight into the combat phase and let the Flash Flame Wing Man attack the Flash Phoenix Man!" Stretching out his arm, Yuki Judai resolutely gave a nearly suicidal order to the hero in front of him.

However, after seeing this "stupid" behavior, Ed on the opposite side did not show the smile he should have, but frowned slightly: "Yuki Judai... you are so lucky! In this situation, you actually found a way out..."

"Hehehe...thank you for the compliment!"

Wiping the tip of his nose, he nodded in agreement with what Ed said. At this point in his attack declaration, Yuki Judai waved his arms again and shouted, "At this moment, the effect of the Equip Spell Card - [Beloved Hero] is activated! I can activate a Field Spell Card from my hand and deck!"

"Is it coming? Illegal construction..."

Looking at the situation on the field at the moment, You Xing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In this case, in Yu Yucheng Judai's deck, the only field magic card that meets the activation conditions is the hero's dedicated stage - [Skyscraper]!

"Heroes also have their own special stages. I activate a Field Spell Card from my deck - [Skyscraper]!"

As expected, Yugi Judai erected his duel disk and placed the all too familiar illegal structure in the dedicated field area.

Then, with the rising of skyscrapers, the surrounding scene turned into a bustling metropolis under the night sky.

"When the first effect of [Beloved Hero] is activated, if there is a card in your Field Zone, the equipped monster's ATK increases by the original DEF value, and... it cannot become the target of the opponent's effects."

The reason why Yuki Judai activated the field magic card was not for the 1000-point attack power bonus.

His purpose was to replicate Yusei's previous actions and trigger an effect of the Equip Magic Card, thereby allowing the Flash Flame Wingman's attack power to be increased by his original defense value.

The original defense power of the Flashing Flame Wingman is 2100 points, which means... after equipping [Favorite Hero], his attack power will be greatly improved again, thus rising to a higher level!

([Elemental Hero: Flash Flame Wingman] Attack Power: 3700 → 5800)

"Here we go! Flashing Flame Wing Man!!!"

"Fight back, Flash Phoenix Man!!!"

The attack horns of both sides sounded at the same time, and the dragon and the phoenix collided again at this moment.

The two monsters with similar effects and similar material requirements have entered into the popular battle.

However, in the end, the Flashing Flame Winged Man, whose attack power has been greatly increased, is better.

After a moment of stalemate, the Flashing Phoenix Man, whose body had reached its limit, flew backwards and crashed into the building behind him.

Ed: "Guuu... Flash Phoenix Man!"

Yuki Judai: "Ed... Although your monster will not be destroyed by battle, you still have to bear this damage!"

5800 minus 4300 equals 1500 points of damage.

Ai De was illuminated by the light and his health points were reduced to less than 1000.

It's only one step away from being a candle in the wind.

(Ed Phoenix LP: 2100 → 600)

"Hehehe... I'm so happy! Ed!"

After finishing the attack and clenching his palms, Yuujo Judai showed an irrepressible excitement on his face: "This is the first time I've seen such an exciting battle scene between heroes!"

The Flashing Phoenix Man and the Flashing Flame Wing Man.

The two monsters, who have the same origin but different paths, are engaged in an all-out collision with each other under the bonus of each other's faith.

Witnessing this scene, Yuujo Judai couldn't help but reveal an expression of deep emotion on his face.

After all, the previous duels with Yusei were always one-sided, with him being the only one being beaten, and he had no idea of ​​the feeling of being evenly matched now...

461 The Immortal-Destroying Phoenix Man Arrives!

"Heh...you said...you feel very happy?"

As Yuujo Judai's optimistic words echoed in her ears, the girl's eyes narrowed quietly, and a cold aura began to emanate from her body: "...Don't make me laugh, Yuujo Judai!"

"Hey?"

"The fate of a hero having to fight is not a happy thing!"

With her brows furrowed and an expression of uncontrollable sadness on her face, the girl waved her arms to disperse the smoke left over from the battle in front of her: "Yujo Judai, the weight of the cross that a hero carries, as well as the extreme pain and hatred... do you really understand these complex emotions? You, who live a happy and fulfilling life and have an optimistic and positive personality, must be unable to understand the sadness in my heart, right?"

"Pain and hatred...are those the traits of a hero?" Yuki Judai couldn't help but ask, feeling quite doubtful about what Ed suddenly said.

Shouldn't a duel bring happiness and smiles to people?

But why, from Ed, I can only feel a lot of negative emotions...

What is a duel to her? What is a hero?

"Pain and hatred, that is the powerful force that supports the hero."

Changing the subject, as if not wanting to dwell on this topic too much, Ed narrowed his eyes and looked at the confused Yuki Judai: "Haha... it's really infuriating! A guy like you who uses heroes just because he admires being cool!"

"What...I..."

"What I need is... a true hero born to survive in this cruel world!"

"The real hero? That's..."

"Watch out, Yugi Judai...at this very moment, the gears of fate have begun to turn!"

As he said this, Ed took the initiative of his turn, waved his arm, and pulled out a new card from the top of the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

Turning his arm and looking at the card he had just drawn, the corners of Ed's mouth slowly curled up at this moment.

Haha... fate is indeed already determined.

Yugi Judai: "Ed...you..."

Ed: "At this moment... the magic card [Fusion Fate] is activated! The effect of this card is to use the monsters in your hand and deck as materials to perform a Fusion Summon of a [Fate Hero] monster!"

Everyone: "...Hero of Destiny?! Deck fusion?"

"Hero of Destiny...what on earth is that?"

"I've never heard of a card like that. I've never heard of a hero like that?!"

-

【Fusion Destiny】

(Usually Magic Card)

Effect: Only 1 card with this card name can be activated per turn.

Send the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Fusion Monster Card from your hand or deck to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon the Fusion Monster with the "Destiny Hero" monster as Fusion Material from your Extra Deck.

Monsters Special Summoned by this effect are destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn.

After activating this card, you cannot Special Summon any monster other than a Dark "Hero" until the end of this turn.

-

On the card image, there are the figures of [Fated Hero Doctrinaire] and [Fated Hero Bloodfiend-D] infected by light, and behind them, one can faintly see the black phantom of the fusion form of the two - [Dragon Knight D-End].

Obviously, this card is hinting at the holder to use the two big brothers of the Destiny Hero as materials through its effect to Fusion Summon the 10-star [Dragon Knight D-Final], and then avoid its own side effects through the card explosion and resurrection effects of [Dragon Knight D-Final].

But... in fact, this card has another better and more widespread use.

That is - one card is bad!

Yusei: "Zhuo! [Fusion of Destiny]... is it time to start playing badly?"

Others may not know this, but Yusei, as a time traveler, is very familiar with this card.

Accurately pile up graves, and easy to come out.

This card, combined with the Big Caterpillar of Link 2, can pull out the Destruction Phoenix from the Extra Deck at any time, putting great pressure on the opponent. It once became a must-have small system in every deck.

There are even hilarious jokes such as "What a lunatic! You only bring Phoenix with Fate Melting in this deck, right?", "The real big brother of the hero has finally returned to his family...", "It will be stronger if you remove other heroes..."...

"According to the effect of [Fusion Fate], I sent [Fate Hero Sprinter] and [Fate Hero Divine Man] from the deck to the graveyard for a Fusion Summon!"

Holding the magic card in his hand high above his head, Ed's eyes flashed with firm determination: "The two heroes who broke the fateful bedrock, now merge into one and reign over the dark future!"

"...Fusion Summon! Come on! [Destiny Hero Destroys Phoenix Man]!!!"

-

【Destiny Hero Destroys Phoenix Man】

(Warrior type/dark/8 stars/attack power: 2500/defense power: 2100)

Fusion/Effects:

Level 6 or higher "Hero" monster + "Destiny Hero" monster

You can only use the effects of ②③ of this card name once per turn.

①: The ATK of your opponent's monsters decreases by the number of "Heroes" in your Graveyard x 200.

②: You can only activate this card during your or your opponent's turn. Destroy 1 card on your side of the field and 1 card on the field.

③: This card can only be activated when it is destroyed by battle or effect. During the next turn's Standby Phase, select 1 "Destiny Hero" monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it.

-

In the shining light, the sprint man and the divine man, two new heroes of destiny, merged into one.

Then, the red wings spread out and destruction came.

Following Ed's call, in the shattered void, the Dark Phoenix, which was named Destruction, broke free from the shackles of fate and broke through the vortex of fusion. Accompanied by endless blood and entangled in blazing flames, it soared into the sky like a phoenix, then floated quietly above the duel arena, overlooking the people below.

The Dark Phoenix Man, who is of the same level and basic attributes as the Flash Flame Wing Man and the Flash Phoenix Man, possesses a completely new power that is completely different from them!

"Fate, destruction, and death..."

"Yujo Judai, this is the new hero series that surpasses everything - D-HERO."

Speaking calmly, answering everyone's previous doubts in a cold tone, Ed Phoenix then looked in the direction of Yuki Judai and slowly clenched his right hand: "I have been dreaming, dreaming that I don't want to wake up from... In the dream, I have never suffered any pain, nor have I experienced the sadness of the death of my loved ones. I have a happy and fulfilling life like you..."

"But, in the final analysis, those beautiful things are just false illusions, just my own longings, just my wishful thinking... After all, I still have to face the cruel and cold reality."

With his dark blue eyes fixed in the direction of Yuki Judai, Ai De's words contained a deep determination: "【Destined Hero Destroys Phoenix Man】... This is the essence of my ever-burning rage, and it is also my true trump card! It is an indispensable card for my revenge!"

Yugi Judai: "Ed...you..."
