The Chapter get Retranslated
Field Spell: Skyscraper.
When an [Elemental HERO] monster attacks a monster with higher ATK, its ATK increases by 1000.
This effect was crystal clear to every HERO player.
The same was true for Aster.
Looking at the skyscrapers rising like mushrooms after rain behind Jaden Yuki, Aster gnashed his teeth and retreated, an unbelievable expression in his eyes.
He had thought he might lose.
But he never expected to lose to the [Elemental HERO] he most looked down upon.
Destiny HEROes were supposed to be stronger than Elemental HEROes.
But in the end, was he going to be defeated by an Elemental HERO?
He gazed at the HERO standing at the tip of the tall building, looking down at the scenery before him.
The figure under the full moon seemed to transport Aster back to that innocent age.
The HEROes designed by his father appeared one by one before his eyes.
"Elemental HERO... Flame Wingman?"
"Go! Flame Wingman!"
Jaden Yuki clenched his fist, his eyes burning with the light of certain victory. "Skyscraper Impact!"
"Hraaagh!"
Flame Wingman leaped from the sky.
Under the stunned gaze of Aster and countless spectators, it transformed into a ball of flames and charged towards Destiny HERO - Dogma.
Dogma immediately used all its strength to wrestle with Flame Wingman.
The two HEROes stood in the center of the field, unleashing powerful gales.
"Aaaah!"
However, in the face of absolute power, Dogma's momentum was ultimately crushed by Flame Wingman.
Flames incinerated it.
Dogma instantly turned to ash.
"Although, due to the effect of [Destiny Board], you won't take any battle damage."
"However, Elemental HERO - Flame Wingman, when it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflicts damage to the opponent equal to that monster's original ATK!"
"Mmm..."
Looking at Flame Wingman, who landed in front of him with arms crossed, Aster's face paled, and he took a step back.
"If you hadn't chosen to return [Destiny HERO - Decider] from the Graveyard to your hand at the beginning, but chose another HERO, you wouldn't have to suffer this effect damage, Aster."
Jaden Yuki looked at Aster.
"You... you mean, you intended this from the start..."
Aster's expression changed as if he understood something.
"Jaden Yuki, from the very beginning, you planned to use Flame Wingman?"
"Ah, once Destiny Board has 4 counters, none of my HEROes will inflict any damage to you."
Jaden Yuki smiled, "And by destroying Destiny Board, you can Special Summon [Destiny HERO - Dreadmaster] from your Deck, and then my HEROes would be even less of a match for you."
"So, I thought it through from the start: if that situation was achieved by you, I would use Flame Wingman to end everything."
Jaden Yuki's words made Aster fall silent.
He looked at the flames in the dragon's head on Flame Wingman's right arm and slowly closed his eyes.
Jaden Yuki.
I can only see what happens next turn.
But Jaden Yuki, has he already seen the outcome several turns in advance?
The gap between him and me...
It's too great.
Boom!
In a burst of flames, Aster's Life Points instantly dropped to 0.
On the dueling field, the final alert sounded.
[JADEN YUKI WINS]
The surrounding visuals gradually dispersed.
The audience fell silent for a moment, then slowly began to applaud.
"An unexpected, truly unexpected ending! Jaden Yuki actually used [Flame Wingman] to conclude the battle..."
The host was stunned for a moment before finally regaining his composure.
He swallowed hard and loudly announced: "The winner of this duel is—Jaden Yuki!"
Thunderous applause erupted both inside and outside the arena.
Jaden Yuki smiled as he put away his Duel Disk, letting out a long sigh.
"Happy?" Yubel's voice echoed in Jaden Yuki's ear.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I had such an exciting duel. Being able to finish it with Flame Wingman is super cool, right?"
Jaden Yuki smiled as he replied to Yubel.
"Hmph, you're still a child at heart," Yubel sneered. "If you had just used [Vision HERO Vyon] to destroy your opponent's monster, or used [Phantom HERO Incremental Man] to Special Summon [Phantom HERO - Bionic Man] from the start, you would have won this duel immediately, wouldn't you?"
"If I did that, wouldn't it negate the meaning of me bringing Flame Wingman?"
Jaden Yuki glanced at Yubel.
"A man is a boy until the day he dies..."
"Besides, my opponent is also a HERO user, so I naturally have to show him some respect, right?"
Yubel's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Is that respect?
You're clearly just showing off, aren't you?
Like a child showing off his favorite 'toy' to his peers.
Jaden Yuki didn't care about the importance of this duel at all.
Compared to being defeated helplessly by powerful HEROes, Aster would surely feel more humiliated being defeated by the old HEROes he once looked down upon.
Watching Aster kneel on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, Jaden Yuki walked over and extended his hand.
"Are you okay?"
"..."
Looking at Jaden Yuki's outstretched hand, Aster remained silent for a moment, then stood up on his own.
"I lost..."
"Mhm." Jaden Yuki nodded.
"But it wasn't a loss to your passion for HEROes," Aster looked at the young man before him, his expression filled with unwillingness, "it was a loss to you."
"I admit my dueling skills are not as good as yours, but when it comes to love for HEROes, Jaden Yuki, I'm not a bit worse than you!"
"Next time, I definitely won't lose again."
Aster turned around, giving Jaden Yuki one last unwilling look.
That look held more of an unknown emotion than resentment.
Jaden Yuki retracted his hand awkwardly and shook his head helplessly.
"Is this guy still a kid? Getting hung up on such things..."
"You, who's always messing with people's minds by using your 'beloved HEROes' in duels, have no right to say that about others, do you?"
Yubel couldn't help but retort.
Jaden Yuki squinted at Yubel and chuckled.
"That doesn't count as messing with people's minds."
"After all, I really love the [HERO] Deck myself."
Both in his previous life.
And in this life.
"However..."
With a glint of dark gold in his eyes, Jaden Yuki turned to DD, who was silently watching everything from the VIP box in the distance.
"Now the exciting HERO entertainment duel is over."
"Next, it's time to duel seriously."
He was really just playing around, wasn't he, you scoundrel?
Yubel crossed her arms, silent.
If Aster Phoenix knew that Jaden was just dueling him for fun.
Then that kid would definitely fight Jaden on the spot.
Jaden, you have such a dark side, don't you?
PS: It's not that Jaden Yuki's mindset has changed; those words were just meant to mess with Aster's mind!
