Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"..."

Naturally, Ed, who has grown to where he is today, would not be affected by DD’s statement of dissuasion.

Thinking of the key to breaking the deadlock, he turned his gaze and looked at the two cards he had just received.

A monster card - [Destiny Hero Dark Angel], and an equipment magic card exclusive to the hero monster - [Beloved Hero]!

These are the two cards that Ed has in his hand right now.

"This is……"

【Destiny Hero Dark Angel】……

This is the card that Ed's father left for her.

Looking at the card in his hand, Ed's face subconsciously showed a dazed look.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall what the staff who were sorting out her father's belongings told her when her father had just passed away.

When the staff handed her this [Destiny Hero Dark Angel] card, they told her that this card was a relic that her father specially left for her.

【Destiny Hero Dark Angel】……

A monster with both 0 attack and defense, what is the point of this card's existence?

At that time, Ed, who was still young, did not understand the purpose of this card and once asked this question.

However, facing the combination of [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] and [D-Power] displayed by DD, she finally understood that this card was left by her father specifically to target the weakness created by Ultimate D!

"I discard [Destiny Hero Dark Angel] from my hand and activate its effect to revive Dark Angel from the graveyard!"

"Oh? A monster that activates an effect in your hand and resurrects from the graveyard?"

"Yes, and this monster...will be revived on the opponent's field in Defense Position!"

"……What?!"

Unable to comprehend Ed's plan for a moment, a look of surprise crossed DD's face.

And just as he was stunned for a moment, a black angel with a pair of white wings spread out behind him appeared next to Blood Demon-D along with the light of summons.

[Destiny Hero Dark Angel] (Defense: 0)

"Next, I open the face card and activate the magic card [Resurrection of the Dead] to revive the [Fated Hero: Destruction Phoenix] in my graveyard (Attack Power: 2500)!"

Since the preparation phase of both parties was frozen by the effect of [Time Dryness], the effects of many cards, including the revival effect of the Phoenix Destroyer, lost the timing of activation.

At this moment, Ed can only use other means to revive the Phoenix of Destruction to his own field.

As the effect of [Resurrection of the Dead] was successfully activated, the Phoenix of Destruction also spread its wings and revived from the cemetery, coming in front of Ed.

"Huh! You scared me. I thought you really had a solution to this situation!"

Seeing the Phoenix of Destruction on the field with its arms folded in attack position, DD showed a mocking expression on his face: "If you want to break through the effect blockade of Blooddemon-D, the best way is to destroy it through the battle of monsters, but... Ed! The Phoenix of Destruction on your field has only 2500 attack power, so it is no match for my Blooddemon-D!"

The existence of [D-Power] not only grants [Destiny Hero·Blooddemon-D] the resistance of "not becoming the target of effects, not being destroyed by effects", but also allows Blooddemon-D to attack twice per turn, and its attack power will also increase by the number of monsters in both parties' graveyards × 100 points.

Not counting the divine people and dystopian people who were just eliminated, there are still a large number of destiny heroes lying in Ed's cemetery at this moment. The existence of these heroes will become the source of energy for Blood Demon-D and increase his attack power.

At this moment, Blood Demon-D's attack power has reached an extremely terrifying 4200 points due to the addition of the number of monsters in Ed's Cemetery!

"Not enough attack power, huh? Then what about this?"

Inserting the last card in his hand into the back field of the duel disk, Ed opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "I target [Destiny Hero: Phoenix Destruction] and activate the Equipment Spell Card [Beloved Hero] in my hand!"

"…This equipment magic card can only be equipped by a 5-star or higher [Hero] monster!"

While explaining the effects of magic cards, Ed pointed at the DD on the other side with a smug look on his face: "...When there is a card in your field zone, the equipped monster's attack power will increase by the original defense value, and it will not be targeted by the opponent's effects!"

DD,: "What...?!"

The attack power of the Destruction Phoenix is ​​2500 and the defense power is 2100, which means that with the bonus of the equipment magic card, its attack power will rise to 4600 points!

Although under the unidirectional suppression of Blood Demon-D, the Phoenix of Destruction has now become a blank slate with no joyful effects.

But even if it is a blank slate, it is a blank slate with an attack power that exceeds that of God, enough to defeat the Ultimate D controlled by DD——[Destiny Hero·Blood Demon-D]!

With the bonus effect of the equipped magic card, a layer of golden ripples appeared on the surface of the Destruction Phoenix Man's body.

His body swelled up, and just like the [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] who received the bonus of [D-Power], he evolved from the Ultimate Form to the Ultimate Form - Burst Mode!

([Destiny Hero: Phoenix of Destruction] Attack Power: 2500→4600)

"When the effect of the Negator in the Graveyard is activated, if there are other Destiny Heroes on the field or in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon yourself. At the same time, you can also bounce the excluded Demonic Man No. 2 back to the Deck when you Special Summon it."

"...Then, I activate the effect of Majin 3 in the Graveyard to banish myself, thus Special Summoning Majin 2 from the Deck!"

As the two monster summoning lights lit up, the Denier who looked like a vampire and held chains in his hands, and the Demonic Man who twisted his body like a devil and had a crazy look on his face, appeared on the left and right sides of the body of the Phoenix Destroyer.

[Destiny Hero: Denier] Attack Power: 1100

[Destiny Hero: Demonic Man] Attack Power: 800

As the two monsters disappeared from Ed's graveyard, the bonus effect of the continuous magic card [D-Power] given to [Destiny Hero·Blood Demon D] also decreased by 200 points.

The attack power of Blood Demon-D has been reduced to 4000, which is the same as that of the Giant God Soldier.

“…Fighting! [Fate Hero·Phoenix of Destruction] (Attack Power: 4600) attacks [Fate Hero·Blood Devil D], Phoenix Wings Soaring!!! Get out of here, Blood Devil-D!!!”

As Ed finished his words, the body of the Phoenix Man of Destruction was enveloped by red flames and instantly transformed into the appearance of a phoenix.

Towards the location of Blood Demon D, the phoenix with flames sublimated to the extreme, uttered a loud phoenix cry from its mouth, and rushed straight to the location of Blood Demon D carrying flames.

"——You little bitch, stop getting carried away!"

Seeing that the Ultimate D he was controlling was about to be burned to ashes by the Phoenix's flames, DD, with a distorted face, waved his arms violently and opened the face-up card in the backfield: "...Targeting [Destiny Hero: Destroyer Phoenix], I activate the Quick-Play Magic Card [Forbidden Holy Lance] hidden in the backfield! Destroyer Phoenix's attack power will be reduced by 800 points, and it will not be affected by the effects of this card except this one until the end of the turn!"

"...If this happens, not only will the bonus from [Beloved Hero] disappear, but your monster's attack power will also be reduced by another 800 points from its original value!"

"Your monster should be the one to leave! Disappear, and destroy the Phoenix Man!!!"

On the magic card, there is a pattern of a goddess holding a holy white spear.

As this magic card was activated, a pure white spear appeared in Blood Demon-D's hand.

Holding the forbidden holy spear in his hand, Blood Demon-D threw it towards the place where the Phoenix Man of Destruction had transformed into the phoenix.

"Heh, you're the one who's getting carried away! DD!!!"

Just when DD activated his last trump card, intending to use it to reverse the situation, Ed curled his lips and showed a mocking smile to DD: "...It's useless! The permanent effect of Dark Angel is that when this card is face-up on the field, the effects of the magic cards you activate will be invalidated and destroyed! Since he has been special summoned to your field, this negative effect will also be borne by you!"

"That is to say, after Dark Angel comes to your field, the activation and effects of all your magic cards will be negated and destroyed!"

"The activation of [Forbidden Holy Lance] and its effects will be invalidated and destroyed!"

As he explained the effects of the Dark Angel, Ed's eyes lit up with red flames: "DD... You lost this duel! Wake up, I will avenge my father today!"

"Too... to have such a thing happen...!!! Oh, tears!!!"

The holy spear was infected by the black mist and disintegrated into fine dust before it came into contact with the body of the phoenix.

Seeing that his last trump card was cracked by Ed, DD's eyes lit up with bloodshot light. He no longer intended to hide his true thoughts and vented his tremendous malice to the surroundings.

The white mist that originally filled the room now completely filled the entire space, turning the entire cabin into a pure white and clean world.

“Hehehehe…Ed, you just said you were going to avenge your father, right?”

After the outburst, DD, who had used all his tricks, became strangely quiet.

Feeling the pressure from the phoenix gradually approaching him, an inexplicable strange laugh came out of his mouth.

"...DD, at this point, you're not planning on surrendering and begging for mercy, are you?"

"Surrender? Beg for mercy? Ha... Ed, can't you hear the screams that permeate the Blood Demon-D? Your father is in there!"

"Varied……?!"

As DD finished speaking, countless human faces struggling in pain suddenly appeared among the open black bat wings of the Blood Demon-D, which was wrapped in white mist.

That was the person who had been defeated by DD all these years, and whose soul and body had become the source of the energy of Blood Demon-D... or the Light of Destruction.

This naturally includes Ed's father, who was killed by DD using the evil power of the Light of Destruction ten years ago.

634 The memories of the dead suddenly began to attack me

Inside the bell tower of Hell, the final battle between two heroes with different destinies is about to be decided.

On one side is the Ultimate D - [Destiny Hero Blood Demon - D], which has been blessed with the Continuous Magic Card [D-Power] and has an attack power of 4000 points in the realm of God and can turn all monsters on the opponent's field into blanks.

On the other hand, there is the environmental cancer known as the "most beautiful newborn". At this moment, it has been blessed by the [Beloved Hero], and its attack power has skyrocketed to 4600 points of [Destiny Hero·Phoenix of Destruction]!

With DD's final Quick-Play Magic Card [Forbidden Holy Lance], the effect of [Destiny Hero: Dark Angel] Special Summoned by Ed to his field was negated and destroyed, and the situation of the duel has reached the final stage.

The red phoenix, which was transformed from the Phoenix Man of Destruction and carried the revenge belief of Ed, was about to burn the arrogant Ultimate D into the smallest ashes with raging flames...

However, at the moment when Blood Demon-D was about to be killed by the Phoenix Man of Destruction, DD, who was in desperate situation, suddenly gave Ed a big gift.

Amid DD's pleased facial expression and joyful laughter, countless faces with painful expressions struggled desperately, trying to break free from Blood Devil-D's bat wings.

Most of these people are the souls of people who have been absorbed by Blood Demon-D in the past ten years. In addition to those famous duelists who were defeated by DD in the outer and inner dueling worlds, there are also innocent people like Ed's father.

Even though their bodies are dead, their souls cannot rest in peace.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will remain in this state of torture and pain forever.

Among these suffering souls, Ed immediately saw the figure of her long-passed father.

This unexpected discovery also made her eyes suddenly widen.

"……Father?!"

As Ed exclaimed, the phoenix's attacking movement paused and it temporarily hovered in the air above Blood Demon-D's head. If he, who had turned into a burning phoenix at this moment, had an expression similar to that of a human, it would definitely be a look of doubt and surprise.

“Hehehehe… Happy, it’s so happy~~~”

Seeing the shock on Ed's face, DD, who was in a desperate situation at the moment, was also laughing wildly and showing a standard villain expression: "Ed, you have to think carefully~ If you defeat Blood Devil-D, your father will be gone forever!"

"Although his body is dead and lying in the urn, sleeping under the tombstone under your witness, his soul has been imprisoned by Blood Devil-D and cannot rest in peace!"

"...After knowing your father's current situation, do you still dare to attack me now? Ed, do you dare to defy me who possesses the power of the blood demon? You don't dare!!!"

Above his head is an endless night made up of field magic cards, and under his feet are pools of blood and black stones that accompany the appearance of Blood Demon-D and the Phoenix of Destruction.

The souls of countless dead people roared and screamed, trying to pull Ed into their bodies to be buried with them.

In this hellish situation, DD, who is Ed's biggest enemy, posed a huge problem to the girl on the other side.

Should she become a rebellious daughter who kills her own father for the sake of justice, or should she choose to miss this easy opportunity and save her father's soul from being destroyed...

Ed: “…”

If he attacks, Blood Demon-D, who has never been defeated, will indeed be destroyed by the Phoenix Man of Destruction, but the souls that are restrained by him will also be freed with DD's defeat and divine death.

This means that those souls will go to a very far place, and Ed will be separated from his father forever and will never see him again in this life.

It was precisely because he realized this and realized DD's sinister intentions that Ed subconsciously stopped his attack and stood there in a daze, silent.

"Ed, you really want to see him, right? To see your beloved father? Well, I will fulfill your wish~"

"Varied……?"

Raising his head triumphantly, DD waved his hand casually and snapped his fingers.

Following DD's actions, the howling souls were once again submerged in the black substance. Only Ed's father was left alone and shown to Ed.

This action seemed to be DD's last act of kindness to Ed, but in fact, it was the best way for him to cause psychological shock to Ed!

Ed, haven't you always wanted to avenge your father and take back the Ultimate D that I took away from you?

Now the opportunity is in front of you, but... do you really have the determination in your heart? Are you willing to bear the heavy sin of killing your father again?

"Ed...Ed...you have grown up! You have become such an outstanding child now...I am so proud of you...so proud..."

Unlike other souls, Ed's father seemed to still retain some consciousness.

After seeing his daughter's appearance after growing up, he regained consciousness at this moment and couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

The little girl who grew up in a single-parent family and had always followed behind him in the past has now inherited his will and surpassed himself, becoming a dazzling existence like the bright moon.

As her father, there was nothing that made him prouder than this.

"……Father?!"

Ed, who had been silent at first, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes after hearing his father's words full of love and care.
