Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"No matter how many times you destroy it, it will return to my field stronger than ever!"

Black fog filled the air, and the [Chimera] with two more parts revived in front of Alice again as she moved.

When she reappeared, she gained another bonus, and her attack power increased by 800 points!

([Puppet Chimera] Attack power: 4000 → 4800)

Marufuji Sho: "Attack... Attack power... 4800?!"

Seeing this terrifying monster jumping back and forth, Maruto Sho was terrified, and immediately his body tilted and he fell on the ground behind him.

Immortal, every resurrection will become stronger than before...

How the hell should I fight this?!

"Hehe... It's hard to say whether he is immortal or not~" As if he noticed something key, he looked at Youxing on the field and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

It seems that Judai has found the weakness of this monster.

"The battle continues! I will use [Evil Hero Lightning Troll] (Attack Power: 2400) to attack [Puppet Chimera] (Attack Power: 4800)!"

“…Take it! Hell Blitz!!!”

Unlike the long-range ball throwing just now, the Lightning Troll who entered the combat state this time chose another way of fighting.

Under the gaze of everyone, he opened his arms and completely displayed his powerful body in front of everyone.

Afterwards, he resolutely launched a fearless and desperate attack on the [Puppet Chimera] whose attack power far exceeded his own!

"... You fool, the [Puppet Chimera] is twice as powerful as the [Evil Hero Lightning Troll]! Are you planning to destroy yourself?"

Alice shook her head helplessly as she watched Yuki Judai's self-destructive behavior.

With a faint smile on her lips, she seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.

According to the agreement before the duel, after Yuujo Judai loses, she will drag him into the bottomless eternal darkness...

"No, of course not self-destruction."

Shaking his head, Yuujo Judai smiled at Alice and said, "...I am the kind of person who will not give up until the last moment, and I will never have thoughts of despair in my heart."

"…Even if we lose, we will still be connected to the next hope."

"Heh...Yuki Judai, you really are a happy guy!"

"Ah! Duels are something that bring happiness to people, so happiness and so on are natural things!"

Nodding to Alice, Yuki Judai quickly inserted one of his cards into the backfield of the Duel Disk: "At this moment, I activate a Quick Play Magic Card from my hand - [Battle x 2]! The effect of this card is that when the attack power of the opponent's monster is more than twice that of my monster, the attack power of my monster will also be doubled!"

"Varied……?!"

Like a moth chasing a flame, the [Evil Hero·Lightning Troll] rushed towards the [Puppet Chimera] without hesitation. At the moment before its demise, it received the effect of a magic card.

His body also swelled up visibly, eventually becoming twice its original size!

[Evil Hero: Lightning Troll] (Attack Power: 2400 → 4800)

The [Puppet Chimera], who had been looking at the Lightning Troll with contempt, now had a look of surprise on his distorted face.

Just like that, two monsters with the same attack power used their strongest moves against each other.

Accompanied by two explosions that sounded at the same time, Yuki Judai's [Evil Hero: Lightning Troll] and Alice's [Puppet Chimera] turned into golden points of light and were sent to their respective graves.

"Hehehe~ It's useless. The Doll Chimera is... Oops!!!"

Laughing smugly, Alice wanted to repeat the same trick and let the [Doll Parts] monster in her deck be destroyed instead of [Doll Chimera].

However, when Ka spread out the deck in front of him, he discovered an embarrassing fact...

According to the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh, there can only be a maximum of three cards with the same name in a deck.

In the process of jumping back and forth, the [Doll Parts] monsters in Alice's deck had been consumed one by one by her...

Therefore, the battle with the [Evil Hero Lightning Troll] just now was the last chance for [Chimera the Doll]...

Without the [Doll Parts] monster that was consumed as a price, [Doll Chimera] naturally lost its immortality and perished together with [Evil Hero Lightning Troll], and could never be revived from the graveyard again...

"How could that be? [Chimera Doll] But..."

"…It's not over yet! I'll use [Hoshimi-no-Tori Laris] to attack [Lost Porcelain Doll - Alice]!" Yuki Judai gave the order to attack the last monster in defense status on Alice's field.

"According to the effect of [Starbird Laris], when this card fights, its attack power will increase by the target monster's level x 200 points!"

The level of [Lost Porcelain Doll - Alice] in Alice's defense position on the field is 3, so the attack power of [Hoshinobi Laris] at this moment will also increase by 600 points!

([Starbird Laris]: 800 → 1400)

"Take it! The stars are shining!!!"

The familiar name of the move was once again called out by Yuki Judai, but this time, the target of the attack had changed from the previous [Puppet Chimera] to the current [Confused Porcelain Doll - Alice].

--boom! ! !

The entire place was filled with starlight, and [Lost Porcelain Doll - Alice] was also destroyed by the attack of [Star-Seeing Bird - Laris].

According to her effect, Yuki Judai will suffer 500 points of effect damage at this moment, and after that, her control will be transferred from Alice to Yuki Judai.

(Yucheng Tenth Generation LP: 1500 → 1000)

"… Entering Main Phase 2, I activate a Spell Card from my hand - [Infiltrate! Spy Hero], sending two cards from my deck to the Graveyard, and until the end of the turn, I can use a card from my opponent's Graveyard as my hand!"

As the magic card was activated, a human-shaped black shadow emerged from the magic card image and quickened its pace to come in front of Alice.

Reaching out to Alice's grave, this figure who looked like Xiao Hei in Conan ignored the obstruction of the duel disk, took out a card from Alice's grave, and handed it to Yuki Judai.

"Well……"

"Hehehe! The card I chose to add to my hand is this one!" With a smile and a wave of his hand, Yuujo Judai showed the card that Kuro handed to him to everyone present: "Activate the magic card [Puppet Hammer]! According to the effect of this card, I destroy the [Confused Porcelain Doll - Alice] on my field, and draw two cards from the deck!"

"It's not over yet! I'm also going to use the backcourt cover!"

The indifference on her face was gone. After being cleared of the front field by Yuki Judai's raging offensive, Alice frowned and turned over the face-up card in the back field: "Activate Trap Card [Released Curse]! According to the effect of this card, when [Confused Porcelain Doll-Alice] is destroyed, destroy all cards outside this card!"

"…And both players will receive 300 points of damage equal to the number of cards whose effects were destroyed!"

On the trap card image, there is a doll figure of Alice sitting and kneeling on the ground in the shape of a duck.

Alice, the puppet with a sad face and tears in her eyes, was also covered with a terrifying darkness visible to the naked eye...

As this card was activated, the Field Magic Card that Alice had previously activated and a card in front of Yuki Judai were all destroyed, and both sides received 300 points of damage each.

(Alice LP: 1100 → 800)

(Yucheng Tenth Generation LP: 1000 → 700)

Alice: "..."

The advantage is no longer there, and the ace monster was also destroyed by Yucheng Judai. At this moment, Alice looked at Yucheng Judai with a look of hatred.

"Well... don't look so scary! Duels are supposed to bring joy to people, right?"

"Well……?!"

"Alice, as promised before, I will let you see the light of hope..." Looking at Alice on the opposite side, Yuki Judai smiled and put his two cards in the backcourt: "Ambush two cards, end of turn!"

The dark clouds that originally obscured the moon seemed to sense the disappearance of the darkness at this moment, and left the area where the two men were dueling in boredom.

As the moonlight fell on the ground, Alice's body was also completely bathed in the moonlight at this moment.

"The resentful [Chimera] no longer exists..."

Alice sighed slightly, her expression relaxed, and looked up at Yuki Judai who was grinning across from her: "...Yuki Judai, your duel...seems like you enjoyed it very much?"

"Of course!" Patting his chest, Yuujo Judai replied with a smile: "Now I can be super happy!"

“Oh… is that so?” Alice blinked and was infected by Yuki Judai’s optimism. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, “Well, do you know? I’m actually the spirit of a puppet.”

"Hey?"

"Kuri Kuriri~~~" Just when Yuki Judai was looking puzzled, the figure of Winged Kuritama appeared on his shoulder.

Turning his head to look at his companion, Yuujo Judai finally showed a look of sudden enlightenment on his face: "Elf? That's why Winged Kuriko was making a fuss earlier?"

Jianshan (Charm): "Alice...chan~~~"

Yusei: "No wonder... If Alice is a spirit, then this all makes sense."

"Since my birth, I have been protecting those who target duelists..."

Alice didn't rush to draw a card, but continued to explain: "But... after seeing those despicable duelists who wantonly tore up the cards, blamed the cards for their own weakness, and didn't cherish them at all... the consciousness of the evil card elves also unknowingly eroded my heart..."

"After that, I was influenced by the evil card elves and began to hate the Duelists. I wanted to drag all Duelists into the abyss of despair..."

“…Alice?”

“…But!” Alice changed the subject and shook her head violently, revealing a look of great pain on her face. “In the final analysis, the reason why it has become like this is because my own heart is too fragile. That’s why I was influenced by the [Puppet Chimera] and blamed all the mistakes on the duel…”

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry... I..."

"Hey! Alice!"

Waving his hand to interrupt Alice's apology, Yuujo Judai tapped his duel disk: "I don't care about what happened in the past... but now, the duel is not over yet!"

"Why……?"

"Remember what I said before? No matter what, even at the last moment, don't give up the light in your heart!"

Looking at the stunned Alice on the other side, Yuujou raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "You know... your turn has just begun!"

Alice: "..."

"Yeah... that's it..."

Alice opened her eyes wide, and was touched by Yuki Judai's words. After being stunned for a moment, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

She nodded, then curled her lips and reached out to pull out the card at the top of the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

Just like Yuki Judai said, her turn, her life, has just begun, and it is far from the end!

"…Magic Card [Gate to Mirror Country] activated!!!"

Alice waved her arms, got rid of her worries, and relaxed her expression. She inserted a card into the Duel Disk to activate it, and explained the effect of this card: "According to the effect of this card, when there is [Lost Porcelain Doll-Alice] in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon a [Beautiful Porcelain Doll-Aishira] (Attack Power: 1000) from my hand and deck!"

Accompanied by a dazzling light, a new monster appeared in front of Alice.

Unlike the previous broken combination dolls that had scary looks and were full of negative emotions, the one that appeared at this moment was a cute little girl doll wearing a red candy skirt.

From the monster in front of them, Yuki Judai, Yusei and the others could vaguely feel a warm and positive emotion.

The appearance of this monster means that Alice has gotten rid of the shadow of the past and is bravely taking her steps towards the future.

"The effect of [Beautiful Porcelain Doll - Ashira] is activated! For each set of [Doll Parts] (4 different parts) of monsters in the Graveyard, this card's ATK increases by 1000 points!"

In the previous duel, all three sets of [Doll Parts] monsters in Alice's deck had been sent to her graveyard.

therefore……

"Therefore, at this moment, the attack power of [Beautiful Porcelain Doll-Aishira] will increase by 3000 points!!!"

A red light appeared on the surface of Aisira's body. Bathed in this light, her attack power also increased, soaring to 4000 points in an instant, reaching the realm of the duel monster god!

The puppet, freed from the shackles of darkness, was reborn from the inside out at this moment!

"Let's fight! Yugi Judai... I'll use [Beautiful Porcelain Doll - Aishira] to launch a direct attack on you!"

Alice waved her arms, smiled, and ordered her monster to attack.

After being baptized by the effects of trap cards, there were no monsters left on Yuki Judai's field.

If all goes well, this attack from [Beautiful Porcelain Doll - Aishira] will bring Alice an unshakable victory!

but……

"So strong! Alice... is so strong!!!"

With his right hand clenched into a fist and placed on his chest, Yuki Judai looked at the puppet gradually approaching him with an excited expression on his face, and immediately opened his cover card: "But... I activate the [Magic Cylinder]!!!"

Alice: "..."

Youxing: “…”

Good guy...

Looking at the cover card opened by Yuki Judai, not only Alice, his opponent, but even Yusei and others who were watching the battle on the side couldn't help but show a speechless expression on their faces.
