Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

After pressing a button on the keyboard, a gloomy look appeared in Professor Cobra's eyes.

For Jim who came to visit without permission, he specially prepared a gift that could not be refused!

……

"The detector in the dashboard has a very strong reaction in the depths of the rainforest. This should be the source of the mutation..."

On the other side, under the leadership of Jim himself, Yuxing and his friends, who were interested in the electromagnetic wave anomaly incident, followed Jim's footsteps and began to explore the depths of the jungle.

The third-grade courses are relatively easier than those in the first and second grades, so Youxing and his classmates have plenty of time to try doing things other than class.

Using the sharp duel disk on their arms as a divine tool to clear the way, the group followed the guidance of the dashboard in Jim's hand and gradually approached the abandoned research institute.

"woo woo woo woo!!!"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the needle on the dashboard began to shake violently, and Kallen, who was carried on Jim's back, also let out a series of violent howls.

At this moment, it was affected by the electromagnetic waves and seemed to be showing signs of going crazy again.

Jim noticed something was wrong and quickly took off the denim scarf from around his neck and used it to bind Karen's eyes on his back.

Kallen, who was waving her arms and legs wildly, stopped struggling immediately after her vision was blocked. She made a gurgling sound and fell silent again.

"What happened? It happened all of a sudden..."

Noticing the condition of Jim and Kallen on him, Judai Yuki, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Is Kallen rioting again? Does that mean we've found the right location?"

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Youxing felt the presence of some kind of energy and asked a tentative question.

"Well... after we got here, the influence of the electromagnetic waves started to get stronger. I couldn't let Kallen cause trouble for everyone anymore, so I tried to find a way to calm it down temporarily..."

Nodding, Jim gave Yusei an affirmative answer.

"I always feel sorry for it. Isn't it your pet?"

Looking at the crocodile with its eyes tied, Yuki Judai frowned slightly.

He always felt that Kallen, tied up like this, looked inexplicably pitiful.

"No...Karen is not my pet, but my family."

After correcting the address given by Yuki Judai, Jim walked to the forest path, raised the dashboard in his hand again, and walked towards the direction where the electromagnetic waves were stronger.

At the same time, he also began to explain the significance of his actions: "As long as you cover Kallen's eyes, it will temporarily calm down."

"Eh? Is there such a thing?"

After hearing this extremely novel explanation, Yujo Judai turned around and told his younger brother who had also followed him: "What an interesting habit, don't you think, Kenzan?"

"Um... Jianshan, what's wrong with you?"

In Yuki Judai's sight, Kenzan kept his head down and did not express any opinions.

Feeling something strange about him at this moment, Yuki Judai instinctively stopped and put his hand on his shoulder.

"...Gu!"

In response to Yuki Judai, there was a low growl like that of a wild beast.

Jianshan raised his head, and his eyes had now turned into brown vertical pupils like a carnivorous dinosaur.

Driven by the instinct of revenge, Kenzan accelerated and rushed towards Jim, who was walking in the front, and Kallen on his back, and pounced on him from behind.

"...Jim, be careful, Jianshan is coming towards you!"

"Huh? Stop!"

Seeing Kenzan transformed into a beast and rushing towards the unsuspecting Jim, Yousei noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted out a warning.

Jim, who heard the reminder, turned around instantly, stretched out his arms to support the shoulders of Kenshan who was rushing towards him, and while falling to the ground due to the impact, he tried hard to resist the attack of Kenshan who was in a frenzy.

At this time, everyone who had reacted rushed to the two of them and pulled the crazy Jianshan off Jim's body.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? Jianshan?!"

"Could it be possible that... electromagnetic waves can also affect humans?"

As Yuujo Judai restrained Kenzan's body from behind, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

If that is the case, then why aren't they affected?

"I think... this may be because Jianshan has dinosaur genes in his body. Aren't dinosaurs also a kind of ancient reptiles?"

Helping Yujo Judai lock Kenzan's body, Yusei's brain was working rapidly at this moment, and finally gave a relatively correct guess.

He remembered that Jianshan had said before that when he was injured in the past, a dinosaur fossil bone was implanted in his leg.

From that moment on, he had dinosaur DNA in his body.

The reason why he has become so crazy now is probably... because he was affected by the electromagnetic waves, which stimulated the dinosaur DNA inside his body.

679 Fossil Fusion, Jim VS Jianshan!

"...Since you are also a reptile, have you also been affected by the electromagnetic waves and have you developed a fighting spirit in your heart?"

Looking at Jianshan who was restrained by the crowd and out of control at the moment, Jim patted the dust stuck on his body when he fell, then raised the duel disk in his hand towards Jianshan: "Haha... Dinosaur boy, then let me replace Kallen and duel with you next!"

Jim realized that the target that Kenzan was aiming to attack was the reptile "Kallen" crocodile on his back.

After realizing this, Jim, who was like a family member to Kallen, decided to fight Kenzan in the traditional duel style on behalf of Kallen.

It just so happened that he also wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of strength the students from the Duel Academy had.

“…Guwu (Interesting)!”

It seemed that he understood Jim's words. Although he was out of control and crazy, Jianshan gave up struggling when he saw Jim take out the duel disk. He looked towards Jim with eyes full of provocation.

"Hmm? Does Jianshan understand?"

"Hmm...it seems like that. He seems to be planning to duel with Jim and accept his challenge..."

Seeing that Kenshan seemed to be preparing for a duel, Youxing and Yucheng Judai looked at each other, then tacitly let go of Kenshan's hands and feet, stood aside, and allowed Kenshan to return to a free state.

As expected, Kenzan, who had regained his freedom, did not attack Jim again. Instead, he raised the duel disk he carried with him on his arm and showed an attitude as if he was ready to fight Jim.

"In addition to being a student, I am also a geologist and archaeologist... I have also excavated dinosaur fossils before."

Patting his chest, Jim proudly said, "You, a living dinosaur man, versus me, a dinosaur digger, I think it will be a good duel."

"……Ah!"

Jianshan was out of control, and the dinosaur DNA in his heart was awakened. Having lost the ability to speak for a time, he found another way to vent his emotions.

Facing Jim's provocation, Jianshan was not afraid and placed the duel disk across his chest: "——Roar (Let's duel)!"

"It seems that you still retain the heart of a duelist." Observing Jianshan's condition, Jim narrowed his eyes and finally came to this conclusion.

Even though he is now a dinosaur man, Jianshan still retains the instincts of a duelist.

Youxing: "It seems that due to the influence of electromagnetic waves, Jianshan is now fighting only based on instinct..."

Yujo Judai: "Instinctively... a duel, huh?"

Seeing that the duel was about to begin, Yusei with his arms folded, and Yuki Judai who was scratching his head tactfully stepped aside and acted as spectators.

At the same time, Jim and Kenzan were ready for the duel, and unfolded the duel disks on their arms.

“…Duel!”

"Roar!"

(Jianshan LP: 4000)

(Jim LP: 4000)

"That's interesting. I also have something I want to confirm..."

Noticing the watch-like device worn on Jianshan's arm, Jim thought for a moment and put the device he had just received from Professor Cobra on his own arm.

If a similar situation happened to both of them during this duel as it did to O'Brien, then it would be possible to conclude that there was indeed a problem with the device, and the electromagnetic waves that permeated the surroundings would be the main reason.

“…Uuuuuuuuu (My turn, draw a card!)”

While Jim was operating, Kenzan, full of fighting spirit, decisively took the initiative in the duel.

Making an incomprehensible gurgling sound, Jianshan, whose pupils maintained the vertical appearance of a carnivorous dinosaur, reached out and pulled out a new card from the deck.

(The following will omit some unclear remarks and directly convert Jianshan’s words into human language.)

"...I Special Summon [Sprint Raptor] (Attack: 1400) from my hand. This card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand. In that case, your opponent can select a monster from the Graveyard and Special Summon it to your field."

Showing the monster card in his hand, Kenzan slapped it onto the deck of the Duel Disk.

As he moved, a small carnivorous dinosaur with a thin appearance and a body shape similar to that of its ancestral birds suddenly appeared in front of him with a flash of light, lowering its body.

At this time, Jim could have chosen a monster from his graveyard for Special Summon.

However, since it is the first round now, there are no cards in his graveyard, so this negative effect is naturally non-existent.

"Next, I will release [Sprint Raptor] as a sacrifice and Advanced Summon this card! Come out, [Dark Triceratops] (Attack: 2400)!"

As Jianshan's howl faded, the velociraptor's body was also enveloped by the golden beam of light, transforming into a tiny point of light, and all traces of its existence disappeared from the field.

After that, a huge Triceratops with brown wings on its back reappeared in front of Jianshan in its place.

Compared to the [Velociraptor], this [Dark Triceratops] with wings of various colors on its body looks more like a bird and has more serious atavistic characteristics.

"Ambush a card and the round ends!"

After summoning a high-star monster, Jianshan covered one of his cards to the backfield and ended his turn.

He gritted his teeth and gave Jim a provocative look.

"Hmm... He actually knows how to use Special Summoned monsters as sacrifices to perform Advanced Summon of high-star monsters... Is Kenzan really fighting on instinct?"

Yusei, who was watching the battle, showed an expression of admiration on his face for Jianshan's previous manipulation.

For Jianshan now, being able to summon high-star dinosaurs in one breath is itself an unimaginable thing.

This phenomenon also shows that he was not simply using brute force, but was following the instinct of a predator and using his brain to think about how to defeat his opponent more effectively.

"Do you know how to use tactics?"

"But if we just rely on instinct, there will be a limit, right?"

With all kinds of thoughts surging in his mind, Jim looked at his cards calmly: "First, let's help you regain some rationality."

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Go ahead. I summon [Fire Rock Wall Dragon] (Rock-type/Earth/3*/Attack: 800/Defense: 1600) from my hand in Attack Position."

Placing a monster card in his hand on the duel disk, Jim called out the name of the card.

As he finished speaking, a fossil skeleton of a pachycephalosaur emerged from the ground and swayed in front of Jim.

From the appearance, the monster clearly looked like the remains of a dinosaur that had long been dead and had been baptized by the years.

"...Activate the effect of [Flint Wall Dragon], send this card to the Graveyard, and inflict 500 points of effect damage to your opponent."

Swinging his arms forward, Jim activated the effects of the monsters on the field.

As he moved, the [Flint Rock Wall Dragon] also opened its bony jaws, accumulated a high-temperature fireball in its mouth, and shot it towards Jianshan.

“Gu…?!”

(Jianshan LP: 4000 → 3500)

The instinct of crisis quietly emerged in his heart. Just when Jianshan was stunned in place due to instinct, the fire impact from the [Flint Rock Wall Dragon] also arrived in front of him at the same time, knocking his body to the ground behind him.

"Hmm...what happened? What was that flame just now?"

His body was damaged by the impact, and Jianshan woke up from his frenzied state and temporarily regained his sanity. He propped himself up from the ground, looked around, and began to observe the current situation.

At this moment, he was shocked to find that for some reason, he was fighting a one-on-one duel with the champion of that branch school, Jim.

Yusei, Yuki Judai and the others were acting as spectators, watching their duel from the sidelines.

Yugi Judai: "...Hmm? Is Kenzan back to normal?"
