Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"Behind me... another Saiou"

Following the direction pointed by the Evil King, Ed instinctively turned his head and looked behind him where there seemed to be no one, along with the other spectators.

In that place, there was no trace of any human existence, and naturally there was no so-called "monster" as mentioned by the Evil King.

……

In the world inside of Ed.

The King was standing alone, holding an umbrella, in the dark forest where the rain was pouring down.

After appearing for a while just now, he just kept watching, watching Ed and his evil self fighting each other, without taking any other action.

Just as he was in a daze, another Zhai Wang wrapped in light, the one with an evil personality, followed the previous traces, flashed here, and stood in front of him.

Facing the main personality that stood still and had no intention of doing anything, the Evil King raised his lips with a mocking expression on his face: "That's right, my clone, you and I are just monsters chosen by the fate of destruction. All resistance is in vain."

"So, stop resisting fate! Come with me and obey the arrangements of fate!!! Merge with me again, and then welcome the arrival of a new era together!"

"I……"

Influenced by the words of the evil personality, Saiou seemed to have some intention to act.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, Ed, who had discovered the abnormality, suddenly appeared here, standing between Saiou and his evil personality.

"Saiou, just holding up an umbrella is not enough!"

Walking in front of the King of the Desert and raising the big umbrella in their hands together with him, Ed continued to say to the stunned King of the Desert: "We are now in the middle of a storm and are being drenched by the rain. We must move forward! If we just stand here and wait for the rain to stop, we won't be able to change anything!"

"…If you don't actively seek to change, your destiny won't change!"

"Ed..."

"Saiou, act now! Only if you and I act together can we turn the wheel of fate and transcend fate! Lend me your power of destiny!"

"Beyond... Destiny..."

He was mumbling to himself, and when he heard Ed's voice, the confused look in Saiou's eyes gradually began to light up with hope.

As this change happened, Evil-minded King also clearly felt that his body was about to be expelled from here.

After all, this is Ed's inner world, and he is ultimately just an external object.

Therefore, even if he was unwilling and did not want to leave like this, Evil-minded King was unable to take any effective measures of resistance. He could only watch his main personality stretch out his arm and tightly clasp hands with the silver-haired girl.

"…Ed! You bastard! How dare you interfere with my good deeds!!!"

Being excluded from his inner world, the Evil-minded King's face finally lost its calmness and turned into an annoyed look.

At the end of the scene, he saw the main personality as the spirit behind the scenes, merging with Ed, which means that in the next duel, he will have to face two people at the same time.

Witnessing this unexpected situation, his expression became distorted due to extreme anger, and he immediately vented all his anger on Ed through words.

Judging from the reaction of the main personality just now, it was obvious that he was willing to be persuaded by him.

If Ed hadn't intervened, then the main personality of Saiou would obviously have been persuaded by his evil self.

At worst, he would remain quiet and do nothing, passively waiting for the final judgment of fate, and Ed would no longer be able to get his help.

But now it's too late.

Oh tears!!! Damn!!!

"…We can't delay any longer. We must speed up the completion of this card!"

Looking at the spirit behind the King of Evil that was gradually emerging behind Ed, which was even more obvious than before, the King of Evil frowned and turned to look at the card in his hand.

In addition to the covered card on the field, he still has two cards left in his hand.

One is [Arcane Power 14 - Temperance], which has the effect of discarding it from the hand, thus reducing the damage of a battle to 0. In the previous duel against Prince Ogin's "one-time kill", Saiou used this card and achieved a perfect counter-kill.

The other card was emitting a faint light. Apart from a huge black shadow that could be vaguely seen on the card, there was no text marked on it. It seemed to be an unknown card that had not yet been completed.

At this moment, Saiou was gritting his teeth and placing his hopes on this unfinished card.

[Arcane Force 21-World] Although it is the last member of the Great Mysteries family, it is not the strongest in the Arcane Force deck.

Above that, there is the ultimate, strongest, and absolutely invincible God of Destruction who controls light and reaches the extreme realm. Outside of the 22 Tarot cards, it is specially marked as "EX"!

"…My turn."

Feeling the familiar figure of Saiou emerging behind him, Ed took a deep breath and drew a card from the top of the deck.

At this moment, she was not fighting alone.

"I feel like the look in Ed's eyes has changed..."

"What happened just now?"

"…Ed, have you found your friend yet?"

Seeing the changes happening to Ed, the spectators gave different reactions.

As the card drawing phase ended and it was time for Ed to prepare for his turn, the opposing Evil King also stretched out his arm and reminded Ed, "If I remember correctly, the [World] that was previously excluded by the effect of Devilman's 'Road of Destiny' should also be returned to my field, right?"

Ed: “…”

Evil Thoughts: "Hmph! If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent! Revive! Come to me again! [Mystical Power 21 - World] (Attack Power: 3100)!!!"

Waving his arms violently in front of him, accompanied by the evil king's shout, the black alien angel reappeared in the golden light, carrying with it an indescribable power, and quietly suspended in the air.

"...Gu! Mystery Power 21-World! It's that troublesome monster again!"

The familiar feeling of oppression came over him again, and Yuki Judai, who subconsciously gritted his teeth, couldn't help but let out such a sigh.

The [World] has the ability to skip the opponent's turn. If you don't find a way to get rid of it in this turn, then the next step will become quite troublesome!

"I summon [D3] (Machine-type/Dark/1 Star/Attack: 0/Defense: 0) in Attack Position."

A black mechanical dog with a pink D mask on its head appeared in front of her on its belly, following Ed's movements.

Judging from the appearance, this monster corresponds to the accessory card [Support Dog] in the [Elemental Heroes] deck.

"Heh, a monster with 0 attack power, how are you going to break through my [World]?"

Towards the direction of [D3], Evil-minded King cast a disdainful look.

My World (Smash Varudo) has a super high score of 3100 points!

Even the legendary dragon that Kaiba Seto was proud of could only sigh in regret when facing it.

A mere trash with 0 attack power, huh...

"When the effect of [D3] is activated, this summoned card can also be used as a [Destiny Hero] monster while it is face-up."

"Next, I activate the effect of the Continuous Magic Card [D Composition]. If my Main has a Monster Summoned or Special Summoned, I can send this card with two or more "D Counters" to the Graveyard, and add a card with the same name as that monster from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

"Then, the second effect of [D3] is to discard up to two cards from my hand, and Special Summon that many [D3] from my hand, deck, or graveyard... I discard the two [D3]s in my hand, and then use the effect of [D3] itself to Special Summon them!"

Just like the Shadow Clone Technique, under Ed's operation, as the continuous magic card left the field, three mechanical dogs that looked exactly the same appeared on her field, accompanied by lights that lit up one after another.

"Three monsters... Masaka?!"

"...Heh, that's what you think!"

The behavior of fusion summoning is restricted due to the existence of the [Fusion Prohibited Area].

However, for the [Hero of Destiny], there are other more suitable summoning methods.

"If I want to end my fate, this card, which is the starting point of my fate, is the most suitable... I will release the three [D3] on the field as a sacrifice and perform a special summon!"

Ai De waved his arms in front of his body: "...Come on! The ultimate D-HERO! [Destiny Hero Blood Demon D]!!!"

Evil Thoughts: "......!!!"

A blood-red lake appeared in the center of the field. At the same time, the bodies of the three [D3] turned into golden light and plunged into the lake on the field.

After absorbing the power of the three monsters, the lake spread out, wrapped in blood-red mist, dyeing everything around it a hazy red.

Accompanied by an unprecedented pressure, a dark hero who looked like a devil slowly emerged from the lake, wantonly spreading his devilish red and black bat wings, and exerting an irresistible and absolute force on the surroundings!

Even a strong entity like the World had to fold its arms in the face of Blooddemon-D's overwhelming momentum, struggling to resist this oppressive feeling that was even stronger than when it first appeared...

"That monster is...?!"

Looking at the monster called "Ultimate D" standing in front of Ed, Evil-minded King instinctively took a few steps back, and a row of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The reason why Saiou had this evil personality was because he met the "Ultimate D" who possessed the light of destruction.

After so many years, perhaps even the evil personality that was born at the beginning had never thought that he would encounter this fateful card again and stand against it.

"Yes, this is the ultimate D-hero designed by my father and once possessed by the light of destruction... Blood Demon-D!" Placing his palm on his chest, Ed closed his eyes and carefully recalled every detail of the past.

Destiny Hero Blood Demon D......

This card brought irreparable misfortune to his family. It was once taken away by DD, but finally returned to Ed's hands. This "Ultimate D"...

Now, it will become her greatest reliance!

Extending his arms in front of his body, Ed slowly clenched his palms and declared: "Evil life that calls itself the Will of the Light of Destruction... With the power of my father, me, and the King, Blood Demon D will completely destroy you!"

“Hehehehe… destroy me? You said you want to destroy me completely? Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

After the initial stage of shock, my mentality gradually returned to normal.

At this moment, after hearing what Ed said, the Evil King seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He showed a stunned expression on his face and uttered an inexplicable mockery: "Ed! If it was the Blood Demon-D that was previously inhabited by the Light of Destruction, it would be fine. Maybe I would be a little afraid of him..."

"...But now, how can this empty card have the power to change fate?"

648 The Final Counterattack in Despair

"If I want to end my fate, this card, which is the starting point of my fate, is the most suitable..."

“…Come on! The ultimate D-HERO! [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D]!!!”

After a long tug-of-war, the fused and sealed Ed relied on his own strength to regain the advantage.

With the appearance of [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] (Attack Power: 1900), the trump card of Ed's belief in victory, this duel has entered its final stage.

(Zhai Wang LP: 2900)

(Ed LP: 400)

The perspective returns to the field. At this moment, on Saiou's field, there is [Mystical Power 3100-World] with an attack power of 21 points.

This monster, which had been off the field for two turns due to the "Road of Destiny" of [Destiny Hero·Devilman], finally broke free when Ed came to his turn, and returned to Saiou as a king.

"Ed...how are you going to destroy me?"

"Just relying on that card that has become an empty shell? Hehehehe... Your childishness really makes me laugh! How can you have the power to change your destiny with just that kind of thing???"

Placing his palms on his face, Evil-minded King couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

Since he had never directly encountered the card [Destiny Hero·Blood Demon-D] which had been hidden by DD for a long time, he did not know how powerful the effect of this card itself was.

If Evil-minded King truly saw and understood the value of "Ultimate D", then I believe he would not react like this.

"Hehe, I hope you can still think of saying something like this next time."

With a smile, Ed stretched out his arm in front of his body and pointed to the [World] floating in the air: "...The effect of [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] is to negate all monster effects on the opponent's field, and this effect is a permanent effect that does not enter a chain, so it will not be chained by the effects of other cards."

"So, no matter what effect you plan to activate next, it's too late now!"

"...Nani?!"

A look of surprise replaced the original wild laughter and appeared on Sai Wang's face in an instant.

Seeing [Mystical Power 21-World] on his field falling from mid-air and becoming a powerless blank slate under the effect of Blood Demon-D, he couldn't help but show a panic look as if he had been slapped in the face.

...Damn DD! You're already dead and you're still causing trouble for me!

Why... should Ed get this card?

“…It’s too early to be surprised now!”

Keeping his arms outstretched, looking at Saiou who subconsciously took a half step back, Ed raised the corners of his lips and continued, "The second effect of [Destiny Hero·Blood Demon-D] is activated! Once per turn, you can activate it by targeting a monster on the opponent's field, and equip that monster to this card as an Equip Card. After that, the attack power of [Destiny Hero·Blood Demon-D] increases by half of the original attack power of the monster equipped by its effect!"

"This effect... is it possible?!"

"Yes, that's right. The object I chose is the [World] on your field!!!"
