This Duel.
The final draw!
A dark golden light flickered in Jaden Yuki's eyes.
"Draw!"
Both sides simultaneously drew a card from their Duel Disks.
At that moment.
The bell of destiny rang once more.
The Clock Tower of Destiny behind Aster rang its final, fated chime.
'Dingā'
'Dingā'
'Dingā'
[Clock Tower of Destiny: Counter 2]
Destiny advanced another step.
The hour hand moved from 3 to 6.
Jaden Yuki could feel the inexplicable destiny in the shadows.
"Aster, you're strong."
"But, compared to you, I seem to be a little stronger, don't I?"
Jaden Yuki smiled.
"What do you mean, Jaden Yuki?"
Aster frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"Because you might think that the hero burdened by the past is the strongest existence."
"But to me, a hero is a hero."
"Their past is not what makes them strongest."
"It's their passionate heart, one that won't be extinguished by so-called destiny."
Jaden Yuki clenched his fist, "From my hand, I Summon Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier!"
Boom!
Massive water elements pulsed on the field.
In an instant, an indigo figure condensed from the water.
Appearing on Jaden Yuki's field.
[Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1400, DEF: 1300]
"When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'HERO' monster from your Graveyard!"
Jaden Yuki smiled, "Need I say more? Special Summon Elemental HERO Stratos from the Graveyard!"
A purple Summoning circle rose from the Graveyard.
Stratos's figure appeared on Jaden Yuki's field once again!
"Activate Stratos's effect!"
"When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can target a number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field, up to the number of other 'HERO' monsters you control, and destroy them!"
Jaden Yuki's gaze swept over the three heroes standing on his field.
"On my field, besides Stratos, I also have Liquid Soldier and Elemental HERO Blazeman."
"Of course, I'll destroy that Set Card on your field."
Jaden Yuki looked at Aster, smiling.
"Don't even think about it!" Aster gritted his teeth and immediately activated his Set Card, "Jaden Yuki, activating Stratos's effect to destroy a Spell/Trap Card instead of searching is absolutely your biggest mistake!"
"Activate Trap Card! Eternal Dread!"
"I'll advance the time on Clock Tower of Destiny to a future that benefits me!"
As Aster's words fell.
The giant tower behind him began to echo with heavy thuds.
'Dingā Dingā Dingā'
The hour hand, originally pointing to 6, rapidly advanced.
In an instant, it reached the 12 position.
"It, it's already four counters!"
"Didn't they say that once the clock tower reaches 12, something terrible will happen?"
"I just have a bad feeling about this..."
The audience nervously watched the clock tower behind Aster.
That's right.
When Clock Tower of Destiny reaches 4 counters, if it's destroyed, the Destiny HEROes sealed within will be Special Summoned.
And with Drawhand's draw.
He had already completed his final draw.
Looking at Heavy Storm, which he had just drawn, a look of certain victory flashed in Aster's eyes.
Jaden Yuki, next turn, your Masked HERO Dark Law will return to your field.
However, I can use Monster Reborn from my hand to revive Destiny HERO - Plasma from the Graveyard.
Your Masked HERO Dark Law will only be returning for a brief appearance.
Then, as long as I destroy Clock Tower of Destiny with 4 counters...
Aster's thoughts were halfway through when he saw Jaden Yuki's face, also wearing a smile.
"You, why are you smiling?" Aster's heart tightened, and he raised his voice, "Clock Tower of Destiny, when it reaches the 12 o'clock position, your attacks will not cause me any damage!"
"Even if you defeat my Drawhand and Destiny HERO - Dogma this turn, I will not take any battle damage!"
"And next turn, it will be your defeat, Jaden Yuki!"
Can't take battle damage?!
Hearing Aster's words, the audience looked surprised.
This... this means.
As long as Clock Tower of Destiny is on Aster's field, he is invincible?
"That's too much, how can there be such an effect?"
On the other side of the screen, the Duel Academy students all looked surprised.
"The thing HEROes are best at is direct combat."
"Every HERO's effect is activated in conjunction with battle."
"But now, the HEROes' only advantage has been completely nullified by one Clock Tower of Destiny."
"Does that mean if Jaden Yuki can't get rid of this card, he'll never win?"
Alexis frowned, muttering softly.
But.
If this card is removed...
"If I destroy Clock Tower of Destiny, wouldn't I fall into Aster's trap?"
Jaden Yuki smiled.
"And, the HERO Deck is a deck with infinite possibilities."
Eh?
Alexis was stunned for a moment, looking at Jaden Yuki's confident statement on the screen.
Wait, is this guy reading minds?
Alexis swallowed hard.
I just thought it in my head, why does that guy seem like he heard me?
"Activate the effect of Elemental HERO Blazeman!"
Jaden Yuki took a card from his Deck, "Elemental HERO Blazeman, this card can send one 'HERO' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and this turn, Blazeman can inherit that 'HERO's' attribute, ATK, and DEF."
"I choose to send Elemental HERO Shadow Mist to the Graveyard."
As his words fell.
Blazeman's red armor gradually turned black.
The flames on his body were also gradually covered by black flames.
"And when Shadow Mist is sent to the Graveyard, I can add one 'HERO' from my Deck to my hand!"
Jaden Yuki drew another card from his Deck.
Looking at the card in his hand, Jaden Yuki's eyes softened, and a smile touched his lips.
"But, after using Blazeman's effect, you can only Fusion Summon, right?"
Aster looked at Jaden Yuki, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"None of your HEROes, no matter which one, can resolve the current board."
"Or, do you want to Summon Elemental HERO Sunrise to destroy my Clock Tower of Destiny?"
Aster was very familiar with Jaden Yuki's HEROes.
Whether it was the Masked HEROes like Dark Law, Masked HERO Anki, or Masked HERO Divine Wind.
Or the Fusion HEROes like Elemental HERO Sunrise, Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, or Elemental HERO Core.
None of them would be able to break through Clock Tower of Destiny.
If Jaden Yuki were to personally break Clock Tower of Destiny, he would prematurely step into his own defeat.
"A hero, of course, must resolve this situation in a heroic way."
Jaden Yuki flipped the card in his hand.
"Activate Spell Card Hero Mask!"
"Send one 'Elemental HERO' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; until the End Phase, the target monster on the field becomes the same name as that card!"
"I target Blazeman, and make this card the same name as him."
Blazeman's body gradually began to change.
Aster's expression changed slightly, watching Jaden Yuki draw a card from his Deck.
"Wait, there's no way Jaden Yuki would have a hero that could solve this situation..."
"Unless..."
The shadow of that hero appeared in Aster's mind.
Impossible...
How could Jaden Yuki put such an outdated hero in his Deck?
"This is my favorite hero." Jaden Yuki sent that card to the Graveyard.
Then, he flipped over Polymerization in his hand.
"No matter when, that card will always be my number one HERO in my heart."
"I send Elemental HERO Burstinatrix from my hand and Elemental HERO Avian, which is treated as the same name, from my field to the Graveyard."
"Fusion Summon!"
Under the bewildered gaze of the entire audience.
A figure of green and red intertwined fused behind Jaden Yuki.
Aster's eyes widened, looking at the hero slowly descending behind Jaden Yuki, with his arms crossed.
"You!"
Impossible... Jaden Yuki.
This talented young man, already so powerful.
Yet he still keeps such an outdated card in his Deck.
A fiery red dragon head on his right arm, and pure white wings fluttering from his left shoulder.
This was indeed the original Fusion HERO.
Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!
[Elemental HERO Flame Wingman]
[Level: 6]
[ATK: 2100, DEF: 1200]
"Aster, the strongest thing about a HERO player isn't their Deck."
"It's their heart that loves their beloved HEROes."
"You seem to have forgotten that now."
Jaden Yuki smiled and flipped his last card.
"Thank you for that last card you let me draw."
"Activate Equip Spell, Beloved Hero!"
"The equipped HERO gains ATK equal to its DEF."
"Haaaah!" Flame Wingman's body was enveloped in powerful flames.
The terrifying power instantly suppressed all the HEROes on Aster's field.
[ATK: 2100 ā 3300]
"ATK 3300?!" Aster took a step back, but still forced himself to speak, "Flame Wingman, when it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster!"
"I admit, I didn't expect this Flame Wingman!"
"However, if you want to win, you must defeat my Destiny HERO - Dogma this turn!"
"This much ATK is still not enough!"
"Not enough? That's right."
Jaden Yuki smiled, raised his Duel Disk, and opened his Field Spell Zone.
"Beloved Hero, at the start of the Battle Phase, can Set one Field Spell from the Deck to the Field Spell Zone."
"Heroes also have a stage suitable for heroic battles."
"Activate Field Spell, Skyscraper!"
White.
