The Chapter get Retranslated
Watching Destiny HERO - Dash Guy being snatched away by a black D.D. Crow that suddenly burst onto the field.
Not only was Aster Phoenix a bit stunned.
Even the audience was dumbfounded.
In their common sense, cards of a certain archetype should stay with a deck of that same archetype.
This was the standard for most duelists in the current era when building decks.
But Jaden Yuki.
In his HERO Deck, you could see many bizarre cards that left opponents defenseless.
Aster Phoenix had considered Jaden Yuki's Masked HERO Dark Law, but he hadn't expected Jaden Yuki to bring a D.D. Crow.
The audience had considered that Jaden Yuki might pull out some outrageous card,
But they hadn't expected him to pull out such an outrageous card.
"A card that can be activated from the hand during the opponent's turn... where did Jaden Yuki get all these cards from?"
"It's too outrageous, I've never seen such an outrageous card in my life."
"Although Duel Monsters is constantly evolving layer by layer, why do I always feel that when we've just evolved to the second layer, Jaden Yuki has already evolved to the stratosphere?"
"Perhaps, this is the charm of Duel Monsters."
It was clear that some audience members were already babbling, disoriented.
The appearance of this D.D. Crow truly left people bewildered.
Kaiba Corporation.
Watching the duel on the screen, the two titans of the dueling world were now silent.
"Maximillion Pegasus, when did you design such a dangerous card?"
Seto Kaiba couldn't help but frown.
A card that could be activated from the hand during the opponent's turn.
The appearance of such a card would definitely greatly change the current Duel Monsters environment.
Currently, GX card duels were developing at a snail's pace.
This was actually intentional on the part of Kaiba Corporation and Industrial Illusions.
After all, once more powerful Spirits were discovered, allowing everyone to obtain such terrifying power,
No one could guarantee what crazy things duelists would do for victory in such an environment.
One must know.
This was a world where Spirits existed.
If this power couldn't be contained, the future might spiral out of control.
"Jaden boy has many cards that even I haven't seen."
Maximillion Pegasus looked at the screen, his expression slightly dazed.
The deck he designed for Jaden Yuki.
Only contained Elemental HERO, Masked HERO, and Phantom HERO.
And most of those cards had their effects strictly determined by Maximillion Pegasus himself, only appearing if they were within normal parameters.
But Jaden Yuki himself had many cards that were baffling.
Maximillion Pegasus had always paid attention.
But the appearance of those cards was mostly within reasonable bounds, so he hadn't interfered too much.
And this D.D. Crow.
An Effect Monster that could be activated from the hand during the opponent's turn.
This indeed made the two titans of the dueling world sense a different flavor.
"Jaden boy, he is a special duelist chosen by the Spirits."
"Perhaps, without you or I knowing, Jaden boy has already come into contact with the power of the Spirit World and can freely command the Spirits."
Maximillion Pegasus sighed with emotion.
He had thought that Jaden Yuki's progress, while fast, was still within their control.
But from this moment on, Maximillion Pegasus realized.
Jaden Yuki's rate of progress had far exceeded their imagination.
"My turn! Draw Card!"
On the dueling field.
The duel continued.
Jaden Yuki drew a card from the top of his deck and held it between his fingers.
Glancing at the pattern on the card, Jaden Yuki's lips curved slightly upward.
"Just then! Activate the effect of Clock Tower of Destiny!"
Aster Phoenix seized the opportunity and shouted loudly.
"Jaden Yuki, the bell of destiny has rung! Your future of defeat has advanced another step!"
"Dong—dong—dong—"
From the dark tower, a deep tolling of bells echoed.
On the giant clock, the hour hand began to move, jumping from 0 to 3.
[Clock Tower of Destiny: Counter 1]
"When the bell rings for the fourth time, it will be your turn to lose, Jaden Yuki."
Aster Phoenix frowned, muttering softly.
The audience held their breath, nervously watching the current situation.
Four turns?
What would happen after four turns…
"I Normal Summon Elemental HERO Stratos!" Jaden Yuki placed the newly drawn card onto his monster zone on the Duel Disk.
Buzz!
The summon array flashed.
Jaden Yuki's new workhorse, now leaped up and appeared once more.
"Hah!" His sky-blue muscles and armor stretched out, Elemental HERO Stratos spread the mechanical wings on his back, stirring up gusts of fierce wind.
[Elemental HERO Stratos]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1800, DEF: 300]
"It appeared! It's Jaden Yuki's iconic hero, Elemental HERO Stratos!"
The audience was extremely familiar with Elemental HERO Stratos.
It was the signature card of a HERO Deck, and also a rare combo starter for a HERO Deck!
"Activate Elemental HERO Stratos's effect, add one monster with 'HERO' in its name from the Deck to the hand!"
Jaden Yuki selected a card from his Deck.
"Is it Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier?"
"Indeed, it must be. Jaden Yuki's habit is to use Elemental HERO Stratos to get Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier, then use Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier to revive Elemental HERO Stratos next turn."
Among the audience, someone immediately guessed the card in Jaden Yuki's hand.
Many people had repeatedly watched all of Jaden Yuki's duels.
Many of this duelist's habits had basically become common knowledge.
Once someone attracted attention, they would be scrutinized by everyone with a magnifying glass.
Jaden Yuki was no exception.
"It seems this is really playing with open cards, but then again, that's just how heroes are."
Jaden Yuki smiled and revealed the card in his hand, "I add Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier to my hand."
"Go! Elemental HERO Stratos, attack Destiny HERO - Doom Lord!"
The command was given.
Elemental HERO Stratos immediately let out a low roar and rushed in front of Destiny HERO - Doom Lord.
A chop with his hand split Destiny HERO - Doom Lord in two instantly.
"Ugh!" Aster Phoenix gritted his teeth and stepped back two paces, enduring the impact of the monster's explosion.
[Aster Phoenix: LP 4000 → 2800]
"I figured it would be like this, activate Trap Card! Destiny Signal!"
Aster Phoenix waved his hand to flip open the Set Card in front of him.
A giant letter 'D' projected into the deep night sky, like a distress signal from heroes, conveying a message only Destiny HEROes understood.
"When a monster on your field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon one 'Destiny HERO' monster with Level 4 or lower from your hand or Deck!"
"Come forth! Destiny HERO - Drilldark!"
Aster Phoenix took a card from his Deck and placed it on the Duel Disk.
The light effect of the summon array appeared.
A huge drill broke through the ground and shot into the sky.
Immediately after, a brown hero with a drill covering his right arm and small drills on every finger of his left hand appeared on Aster Phoenix's field.
[Destiny HERO - Drilldark]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1600, DEF: 1200]
"Furthermore, when Destiny HERO - Drilldark is Normal or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon one monster with ATK less than or equal to its own from my hand!"
"Come forth! Destiny HERO - Drawhand!"
Aster Phoenix pressed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk.
A faint light shimmered.
A hero in a white suit, wearing a worn red scarf, appeared on Aster Phoenix's field.
He slowly raised his right hand, adorned with a white glove, and vaguely, one could see a faint light flickering on his right hand, shaped like a pistol.
[Destiny HERO - Drawhand]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1600, DEF: 800]
"When Destiny HERO - Drawhand is Special Summoned by the effect of a 'HERO' monster, both players each draw one card from their Deck."
Aster Phoenix placed his finger on top of his deck, shouting, "Draw card! Jaden!"
"Ah, sure."
Jaden Yuki smiled and placed his finger on top of his deck.
"Draw Card!"
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously drawing a card from the top of their respective Decks.
"Draw, what did he draw?"
"Both of these people are duelists with extremely strong card luck, making both draw cards at the same time gives a sense of a Western gunfight before the showdown."
"And, although Jaden Yuki pulled a fast one on Aster Phoenix with D.D. Crow during Aster Phoenix's turn, now Aster Phoenix has also summoned two monsters in an instant during Jaden Yuki's turn!"
"Is it a feeling of 'using his own methods against him'? This Aster Phoenix is indeed a very powerful duelist."
"In this world, no duelist can be underestimated. The moment you stand on the dueling stage, you must give it your all!"
"Go, both of you!"
The audience cheered loudly.
But compared to cheering for one person exclusively at the beginning.
Now, more and more people were cheering for both of them simultaneously.
A battle between heroes should be this evenly matched to be truly exciting.
Looking at the card he drew, Jaden Yuki's lips curved upward.
He looked up at Aster Phoenix, who was also looking back at him with eyes full of fighting spirit.
It seemed he too had drawn what he considered a good card.
"Set one card, turn end."
Placing the newly drawn card in the Spell & Trap Zone, Jaden Yuki declared his turn over.
At this moment.
Yubel's phantom slowly condensed beside Jaden Yuki.
Looking at the uncontrollable excitement on Jaden Yuki's face.
A trace of surprise appeared in Yubel's eyes.
It was the first time she had seen Jaden act so excited during a duel.
"Does Jaden still possess a fiery 'HERO' spirit deep down?"
Yubel muttered softly.
Her lips unconsciously curved upward.
"Jaden, you've started to learn how to enjoy dueling."
