I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game

"Let's go!" Judai shouted, "Activate the Spell Card ‘EN Shuffle'!

Shuffle 1 ‘Elemental HERO' monster I control into the Deck and Special Summon 1 ‘Neo-Spacian' monster from my Deck with its effect negated!" (anime effect)

Judai waved his hand.

"I return the ‘Elemental HERO Bladedge' on the field to the deck, and Special Summon a Neo-Spacian from the deck!

Come on! Neo-Spacian Dark Panther!"

[Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, ATK 1000]

"No matter how many of these small fries…"

"That's not necessarily true."

Judai smiled and once again looked at the teachers and companions around him who were willing to stand up for him and come to this dimension at the risk of their lives.

"Yusei's words made me understand." He said, "The real strength of a duelist lies in the bond between his companions! Everyone helps each other, competes with each other, and makes progress together.

It is precisely because of these most precious companions that I can fight to this point."

Judai clenched his fists and raised his voice.

"I return three monsters, ‘Elemental HERO Neos', ‘Neo-Spacian Grand Mole', and ‘Neo-Spacian Dark Panther', from the field to the deck! Contact Fusion!

Show up here, Neos's most powerful form——

——Elemental HERO Nebula Neos!!!"

Borrowing the power of their companions, the two Neo-Spacians turned into light and merged into Neos' body, and the hero's silver-white body quickly deformed. Heavy armor covered Neos' body, and it was like a giant wrapped in golden light falling from the sky and suddenly slammed into the ground.

[Elemental HERO Nebula Neos, ATK 3000]

"Nebula Neos' effect is activated!" Judai said, "If this card is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, I can draw cards equal to the number of cards the opponent controls!

You have four cards on the field, so I draw four cards from the deck!"

The hand cards were replenished in one breath, and Judai waved his hands non-stop.

"The subsequent effect of Nebula Neos – Negate the effects of 1 face-up card on the field until the end of this turn."

Aster: "If the effect of ‘Yubel – The Ultimate Nightmare' is negated here…"

"She will become a Normie with 0 attack power!" Marufuji Sho was excited, "Aniki won!"

But unexpectedly, Judai said: "I will negate the effect of ‘Evil HERO Malicious Bane'!"

Neos raised his right hand and made a "rise" gesture with his palm. The rainbow-colored brilliance rose from the ground, covering the entire Evil HERO, like a cage, and restricting his ability.

"In this way, Malicious Bane can be destroyed by the battle!"

"Eh?" Marufuji Sho was stunned, "Why not choose Yubel?"

"Eighty percent of it is because the Malicious Bane is a symbol of the Supreme King himself." Aster murmured, "Compared to winning the duel, Judai hopes to defeat the Supreme King head-on and save Yubel."

"That's it!"

"I haven't finished yet! Activate the Equip Spell ‘Favorite Hero’," Judai turned over a set card on the field again, "Equip it to ‘Elemental HERO Nebula Neos'!"

The card turned over, and the power of the Equip Spell turned into a colorful light effect that wrapped Nebula Neos's body.

"Go, Nebula Neos!" Judai directly entered the Battle Phase, "Attack ‘Evil HERO Malicious Bane'!"

Nebula Neos raised his palm high, and the unpredictable light condensed in his palm. The dark clouds were pierced, and the mysterious cosmic light fell from the sky into his palm, and the energy was ready to move.

"For a defective shadow, you are quite stubborn in a fight." Supreme King frowned.

"I said, I would defeat you and free Yubel!" Judai shouted, "Before that, no matter how many times I will keep trying!

At the start of the Battle Phase, the effect of ‘Favorite Hero' is activated!

I can activate 1 Field Spell directly from my hand or Deck."

Judai drew the card that popped out of the deck.

"Field Spell ‘Temple of the Kings'!" (Animated version)

The terrain changed, and the golden temple was quickly built with a rumbling hum, becoming the stage for the two sides to decide the victory.

"At this moment, the follow-up effect of the Favorite Hero!" Judai said, "If there is a card in my Field Zone, the equipped monster gains ATK equal to its original DEF!"

[Elemental HERO Nebula Neos, ATK 3000 → ATK 5500]

"And, Nebula Neos equipped with ‘Favorite Hero' cannot be targeted by the opponent's card effects!"

"I see!" Marufuji Sho's eyes lit up, "In this way, it doesn't matter who he attacks. Defeat the Malicious Bane, and the Aniki wins!"

Nebula Neos has already charged up, and the extremely gorgeous light is like a long river, rushing towards the demon on the Supreme King's field!

Everyone held their breath again, their hearts were in their throats for the Nth time, staring at the remaining LP of the Supreme King, imagining that value falling to 0 in the crisp and pleasant sound effects.

But at this last moment, the result was unexpected to anyone.

"Open the set card," Supreme King said calmly, "Trap Card – Trap of Darkness."

Judai's pupils shrank.

He recognized the card and it was natural for him to recognize it.

Because it was also the card that Yuei Vu gave him.

"Trap of Darkness can only be activated when my LP is 3000 or less." Supreme King said, "Pay 1000 LP, then target 1 Normal Trap in my GY, except ‘Trap of Darkness'; this card's effect becomes that target's activated effect, then banish that target."

"Normal Trap card in the graveyard…"

Judai quickly replayed the process of the duel in his mind and instantly guessed which card the opponent was going to choose.

In the previous round, he summoned "Storm Neos" to destroy all the set cards on the opponent's field, but triggered the "Boo-Boo Game", which when destroyed, could Set other traps in the graveyard to the field.

Immediately afterward, the trap was immediately cracked by "Divine Neos", but if that card was used here…

"That's right."

[Supreme King, LP 1700→ LP 700]

The trap card in front of the Supreme King quickly rotated and soon changed into another trap.

Dimension Wall.

"I want to obtain the effect of the trap card ‘Dimension Wall'." Supreme King shouted, "When the opponent declares an attack, the damage caused by that battle will be borne by the opponent!"

[Evil HERO Malicious Bane, ATK 3000]

[Elemental HERO Nebula Neos, ATK 5500]

The last reversal at the last moment, a development that no one expected. The friends shouted one after another, but the sound was swallowed up in the torrent of explosions.

The power of Neos and the Evil HERO blasted against each other, and the light and dark energy that almost tore the dimension exploded.

Judai's vision was a little blurred. He felt as if his body was penetrated by an endless torrent, and even his heart seemed to stop beating. He almost instinctively looked at the teacher and the companions who supported him.

"Everyone…"

He felt his consciousness sink to the bottom of the valley.

[Judai, LP 600 → LP 0]

Everyone was stunned.

With wide eyes, they forced themselves to look directly at this fact.

They saw the light and darkness collide, the shock wave swept across, and then after hitting the trap barrier of the Supreme King, it rebounded back in a mighty way.

Judai was hit by the rebounding energy, his body was blown into the air, and fell back to the ground like a lead ball.

Judai, he… lost?

"After all, it's just a shadow." The Supreme King looked at the fallen Judai and said coldly, "Be gone, loser!"

"That's not necessarily true."

The Supreme King tilted his head and found that Yuei Vu was speaking.

Yuei Vu said lightly: "Judai hasn't given up yet."

"?"

The rules of the duel are absolute. Zero life points mean defeat, and no matter how strong the will is, it cannot be reversed. No matter how unwilling he was to admit defeat, how could he…

Supreme King: “!?”

His golden pupils shrank, because he saw that Judai, who was lying on the ground, actually got up again with amazing willpower!

“It’s useless.” Supreme King didn’t realize that his cold voice had become a little impatient, “You have already lost when your LP value becomes zero, and no matter what you do, it’s useless…”

[Judai, LP 0 →LP 100]

Supreme King: “!?”

How can such an operation be possible?

Dead, but not completely dead?

Judai took two heavy breaths, wiped his mouth, and laughed.

“What’s wrong, Supreme King? The duel is not over yet!”
