Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

With them guarding Ed's side, even if Misaki loses and wants to cheat, they can use their elf power to help Ed leave this strange space, just like the dark duel.

Having a backup plan, even if it may not be used, is better than having nothing.

"Ed, my brother told me before that you, who hold the [Fate Hero] deck, will become his enemy, just like Yusei, Yuki Judai and the others, and have the possibility of turning his wheel of fate..."

"My brother, who couldn't see through his own destiny, realized this and asked me to find a chance to test you."

Explaining the current situation, Mishouchi then raised his arms in front of his body: "But, although he said so, I have different ideas."

Along with a flash of light, a strange-looking duel disk full of the style of ancient Japanese Heian period appeared in Misushi's hand.

"Ed Phoenix... come fight me right here, risking your freedom and the freedom of your friends!"

Looking directly at the silent Ed, Mishouchi's eyes slowly narrowed: "If you are a hero standing on the opposite side of us, then in this duel, use all your strength!"

"……I see."

After listening to Mishouchi's words quietly and nodding, Ed raised his arm expressionlessly and unfolded the duel disk in his hand: "...Mishouchi, even after so long, our bad fate still surrounds us and has not let me go... Since we will have a battle sooner or later, let's take this opportunity to convey our beliefs to each other!"

The hero of destiny is a lone wolf living in a dark world, and Ed Phoenix, who implements this style, does not need so-called friends.

The reason she came here was just to break up with Misui.

"Heh...Ed, let me see your strength as a professional league player now!"

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Mishouchi looked at his childhood friend who was ready and in a fighting stance, and reached out to smooth the hair hanging by his ears, and shouted in sync: "...Duel!!!"

"Ah, Misaki, let me show you the form of the strongest hero on earth...Duel!"

With the shouts of the two, the duel between Ed Phoenix and Saiou Misatomo, a duel involving their mutual beliefs, officially began.

Yusei and Yuki Judai, who were just spectators, found a place not far from the two men and quietly observed their duel.

(Ed Phoenix LP: 4000)

(Saio Misaki LP: 4000)

"The power of D that weaves the future... the strongest heroes of destiny! Lend me your power!"

Recalling the many duels he had experienced in the past, Ed Phoenix, who had never lost to anyone except the "Crystal Pearl Tears" that he had lost to Yusei before, clenched his palms and decisively took the initiative in the duel: "Mishouchi, I take the initiative! It's my turn... draw a card!"

"Oh...Ed, please don't let me down."

Mishouchi, who was originally waiting for Ed to take the first attack, looked at the silver-haired girl opposite him with a very confident look on his face.

As Ed's childhood friend, she knew a lot about Ed's cards.

Now in Ed's hand, he did not have the original and strongest D card - [Destiny Hero Blood Devil-D], and the corresponding continuous magic card [D-Power] that gave Blood Devil-D absolute resistance.

Therefore, the only trump card in Ed's hand at the moment is the Phoenix of Destruction known as the "most beautiful newborn"!

This monster, together with "Wolong" - the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, is also known as "Phoenix Cub". Although it has extremely strong interference power and immortality, and can be resurrected from the graveyard an unlimited number of times... it is not invincible.

At least in Misaki's current deck, there are cards specifically designed to counter this card.

"Here we go. I summon [Elemental Hero: Skyman] from my hand in Attack Position and activate its effect to retrieve a [Hero] monster from my deck. I choose [Phantom Hero: Solitary Man]!"

Placing one of his hand cards on the duel disk, Ed summoned the hero who died of overwork, and then used his effect to retrieve a key card from the deck.

"Next, I activate the effect of [Phantom Hero: Solitary Man], discard [Destiny Hero: Devil Man] from my hand, and Special Summon it to my field!"

After sending the Furry Pants Man in his hand to the cemetery, Ed placed the Solitary Man next to the Sky Man.

As a white summoning light flashed, the hero, whose entire body was filled with pink color, came to Ed waving his claws.

"Here we go! Classic operation of the hero deck!"

Looking at Ed's actions, Youxing couldn't help but let a knowing smile flash across his face.

As duelists who also use hero decks, Yusei and Yuki Judai are quite familiar with the operation of Ed.

It's just like [Hero Arrives] to pull [Elemental Hero·Shadow Mist Girl], and then search for [Masque Change] to let Shadow Mist Girl transform into [Masked Hero·Dark Claw].

With the debut of [Phantom Hero·Solitary Good Man], the operation that is deeply engraved in the DNA of hero players will also be shown one by one by Ed in the following time.

"At this moment, the effect of [Phantom Hero: Solitary Man] is activated! I place [Phantom Hero: Increment Man] from my deck to the Magic and Trap Zone. After this effect is activated, until the end of the turn, unless it is a [Hero] monster, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck!"

"Then, I activate the effect of [Phantom Hero: Increment Man] in the Magic Trap Zone, liberating [Phantom Hero: Solitary Man] on my field and Special Summoning it!"

"And when [Phantom Hero: Increment] is Special Summoned successfully, I can Special Summon a [Phantom Hero] monster below level 4 from my deck..."

“…Come on! [Phantom Hero Bionic Man]!!!”

Multiple searchlights illuminated the surrounding space, dispelling the huge darkness that permeated this vast space.

After the [Phantom Hero·Increase Man], who had crossed the river and then destroyed the bridge, appeared on the scene stepping on the corpse of [Phantom Hero·Local Good Man], the purple [Phantom Hero·Bionic Man] also appeared in front of everyone at the call of [Phantom Hero·Increase Man].

549 Phoenix of destruction! Spread your wings and fly high!

After Ed Phoenix's operation that would dazzle ordinary people, three [Hero] monsters with completely different postures suddenly appeared on her field.

The monsters that appeared were:

The wind-attribute [Elemental Hero Skyman], and the dark-attribute [Phantom Hero Incremental Man] and [Phantom Hero Bionic Man].

And she only used up two cards in her hand, which was truly a two-card deployment.

Moreover, the existence of these three monsters is just the beginning!

Next, more heroes will appear one after another.

"...[Phantom Hero: Android]'s effect is activated. If this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, send a [Hero] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."

Waving his arms, Ed announced the name of the monster being sent to the graveyard: "The monster I choose to send to the graveyard is [Destiny Hero: Denier] in the deck!"

Demonic Man has the effect of removing himself from the graveyard and then special summoning a card with the same name from the deck, so he can be used repeatedly as material.

As we all know, the negative people and the demonic people are good brothers bound together, and even death cannot separate them.

Since the demonic person on one side had been sent to the cemetery by the effect of the self-sacrificing person, then as the person who denies his brother, he naturally cannot be absent.

Under the effect of the bionic man, the negative man was reunited with the evil man in the cemetery.

"Unfortunately... there is no [Special Hero Crossman] as a Link Monster right now. Otherwise, I could actually search for another Hero Monster here."

Analyzing the situation on the field, Youxing, a veteran hero player, couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

In the era of Link Summoning, the next normal operation should be to use [Phantom Hero·Incremental Man] and [Phantom Hero·Bionic Man] as materials for Link Summoning, pull out LINK-2's [Special Hero·Cross Man], then activate the effect of Cross Man, revive the Demon Man in the graveyard, and then liberate the Demon Man to search for Blood Demon D or Sincere New Yuxia in the deck.

While earning cards, you can also get a chance for accurate retrieval.

Moreover, after activating its effect, [Special Hero·Crossman] itself can be used as material to pull out other hero monsters such as [Special Hero·Scepter Pioneer], fully demonstrating its due value.

"Next, I activate the second effect of [Phantom Hero: Android], banish [Phantom Hero: Solitary Man] from the Graveyard, and retrieve a [Fusion] Spell Card from the Deck!"

The self-sacrificing man who completed his final mission was transformed into fuel and absorbed by the bionic man.

After that, the bionic man, whose body emitted bursts of light, shone the searchlight onto Ed's deck.

Illuminated by the light, [Fusion], which was originally in the deck, automatically flew out and was taken by Ed, who added it to his hand.

Even after his death, his grave would be dug up again. The degree of death from overwork of this self-centered person who devoted his life to his work was comparable to that of Sky Man.

"... [Fusion], huh?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Misaki being operated by Ed, with an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.

The preliminary preparations have been completed, and the next step should be the implementation stage.

Misaki, who noticed the fusion of this card, also realized one thing, that is... the big monsters of the Destiny Hero will appear next.

"...I activate the effect of [Destiny Hero: Demonic Man] in the Graveyard, remove it from the Graveyard, and Special Summon a card with the same name from the Deck! Come on! [Destiny Hero: Demonic Man] No. 2!"

There is a black D symbol engraved on his chest. He looks like a crazy and mad demon. He is nicknamed "Furry Pants Man" and appeared on her field at the call of Ed.

Although this monster is a 6-star level, its basic attributes are quite poor and totally unworthy of its star rating.

A demonic man with both 800 attack and defense, it is more suitable to be used as a special summon material than as a combat unit.

"Then, I activate the second effect of [Destiny Hero: Denier], and I can only activate this card when there is a [Destiny Hero] monster other than [Destiny Hero: Denier] on my field or in my graveyard, and Special Summon this card from the graveyard."

At this moment, there is the [Destiny Hero·Demon Man] on the field of Ed, which meets the activation conditions of the Negative Man.

Therefore, the Denier, the blond vampire who was wielding an iron chain in his hand, appeared beside the Demonic Man after a flash of black light.

"…At this moment, the effect of [Destiny Hero: Negator] that can only be activated once per turn is triggered. This card can only be activated if it is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully. Choose 1 [Destiny Hero] monster from your Deck, Graveyard, or your banned monsters, and place it on top of your Deck…Needless to say, I choose the [Destiny Hero: Devil Man] that was just banned!"

"The conditions for summoning have been met, and now it's time for this card to appear!"

After placing Demonic Man No. 1, which should have been in the Exclusion Zone, back to the top of the deck, Ed raised his arm and waved to pick up the three monsters [Phantom Hero·Bionic Man], [Phantom Hero·Increment Man], and [Destiny Hero·Magic Man] on the Duel Disk and put them in the Graveyard. Then he slammed a card in his hand on the Duel Disk: "... I release the three monsters Bionic Man, Increment Man, and Demonic Man, and Special Summon [Destiny Hero·Doctrine Man] from my hand!!!"

【Destiny Hero·The Righteous One】

(Warrior/Dark/8*/Attack: 3400/Defense: 2400/)

Special Summons/Effects:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters on your side of the field, including a "Destiny Hero" monster.

If this card is successfully Special Summoned, it will be activated during the opponent's next Standby Phase. The opponent's Life Points are halved.

-

Huge black wings spread out in the wind, and a demon man with a terrifying bull-head mask on his face appeared above everyone's head, waving the sword of judgment in his right hand, accompanied by a deep dark light.

Enveloped in a strong pressure, the doctrinaire descended from the sky at a swift speed, stirring up gusts of violent wind.

Then, he released a spiritual pressure that firmly locked onto the body of Mishouchi opposite him.

"..."

Locked by the aura of a big monster with an attack power of 3400, although Mishouchi did not suffer any substantial damage, he subconsciously frowned.

As expected of Ed... He was able to summon such a powerful monster at the lowest cost in the first round!

Although they were rivals, she couldn't help but admire Ed's strength.

"The effect of [Destiny Hero: Demonic Man] in the graveyard is activated again, banishing itself, and then calling a card with the same name from the deck..."

Taking the Demonic Man No. 1 that had returned to the top of the deck from another dimension through the effect of the Negator, Ed waved his hand and summoned it to his own field: "Appear again! [Destiny Hero·Demonic Man]!"

The devilish man shook his head like a possessed person, circled around, and returned to Ed's side.

Yusei: "The Fusion Magic Card and the two Destiny Heroes are already gathered, so what's next..."

Even when facing Misaki, his childhood friend, Ed, who had taken the initiative to attack, had no intention of holding back.

She glanced at Misaki on the other side, then expressionlessly inserted the Fusion Magic Card in her hand into the backfield of the Duel Disk: "Activate Magic Card [Fusion]! I use the [Fate Hero·Negator] and [Fate Hero·Magic Man] on my field as materials to perform a Fusion Summon!"

A vortex representing the fusion summon appeared in front of her as Ed's voice fell.

After absorbing the [Fated Hero·Negative Man] and [Fated Hero·Devil Man] as materials, a deep darkness that swallowed up the light erupted from the very center of the vortex.

"Heroes who are determined to win! Heroes who break the bedrock of fate, now become one and reign supreme in the dark future!"

"…Fusion Summon, Come on! [Destiny Hero·Dystopian] (Warrior/Dark/8*/Attack: 2800/Defense: 2400)!!!"

The hero, holding a black-purple sphere filled with destructive energy in each palm and wearing a golden D-mask on his face, walked out of the fusion vortex and revealed his figure.

Gold and purple armor covered his body, and the warrior of Dark Utopia officially arrived at this moment.

"At this moment, the effect of [Destiny Hero: Dystopian] is activated! If this card is successfully Special Summoned, you can activate it by targeting 1 Level 4 or lower "Destiny Hero" monster in your Graveyard. Inflict damage equal to the ATK of that monster to your opponent."

"Misaki... I choose the 3-star [Fate Hero: Denier] and give you his attack value, which is 1100 points of effect damage!"

"……Well!"

The Dystopian raised his arm in the direction of Misushi.

As he moved, a black sphere separated from his hand, carrying the energy blessing of the Negative Man, and flew towards where Misushi was.

His body came into contact with the energy ball. Even though it was not a dark duel at this moment, the damage had been reduced layer by layer by the duel disk. However, Mishouchi, who was enduring this damage, still subconsciously groaned, and his health points dropped by 1100 points.

(Saio Misaki LP: 4000→2900)

"Good job, Ed! Just keep it up!"

It's a show of force from the beginning!

Looking at the performance performed by Ed, Judai Yuki couldn't help but applaud and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"…Finally, it's this card!"
