Note: I will Try to update everyday so I hope you support the story

D.D.

Champion of the Duel League for many consecutive years.

In addition, he was Aster Phoenix's guardian.

Seeing the two of them appear simultaneously, Jaden Yuki felt no surprise.

After all, on the current timeline, the two of them still maintained a seemingly benevolent relationship.

Jaden Yuki slowly sipped his after-meal tea, his gaze subtly fixed on Aster and D.D. as they walked towards one side of the restaurant.

Perhaps it was because Jaden Yuki's chosen seat was too close to the corner.

Aster didn't notice the young man in the red jacket.

At this moment, his attention was still entirely on his conversation with D.D.

"Is that so? So many years have passed, and the culprit who killed your father still hasn't been found..."

D.D. adjusted his glasses, his face showing concern.

"Then, about that card related to your father,"

"Hmm, I've been looking for that card's whereabouts."

Hearing D.D.'s question, Aster lowered his head, his fists slightly clenched.

"I believe that as long as I can find that card... I will definitely be able to catch the culprit who killed my father back then!"

He gently gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred.

Aster Phoenix.

In the original story, he was similar to Jaden Yuki.

From a young age, he was an enthusiast of [Hero] decks.

And his father, as a card designer for Industrial Illusions, had also designed many brilliant [Hero] cards for his son.

Among them, the most outstanding.

Was undoubtedly the deck named [Destiny HERO].

However.

After creating the card [Destiny HERO - Plasma].

Aster's father died tragically at home late one night...

In the fire, scattered on the ground were the [Destiny HERO] cards his father had personally made.

And the only missing card was the one his father called [Destiny HERO - Plasma], a card that should absolutely not be approached.

From that day on, Aster had secretly sworn.

He would definitely find the person holding [Destiny HERO - Plasma] and avenge his father.

However, many years had passed, and Aster was still completely clueless.

[Destiny HERO - Plasma] seemed to have vanished from this world.

No matter how much he searched, Aster couldn't find any information about that card.

Thump

A large hand gently patted Aster's shoulder.

The hatred in Aster's eyes paused. He looked up and saw D.D.'s gentle smile.

"Aster, please don't be too sad."

"I believe that one day you will surely find that person and fulfill your wish."

"You have to believe in yourself, okay?"

D.D.'s gentle words greatly eased Aster's pain.

He looked at D.D. gratefully and nodded forcefully.

"Thank you, D.D."

"No need to thank me. After all, I was once helped by your father too."

"For me, your father is also my benefactor."

D.D. rubbed Aster's head.

"D.D..." Aster suddenly felt his eyes well up.

Since his father passed away, the only people who had been so kind to him, besides Saiou, were probably D.D. in front of him.

"Alright, let's not talk about these depressing things. Let's order first."

"Hmm." Aster smiled and nodded forcefully.

"Speaking of which, D.D., is your goal this time still the championship?"

"Of course. I once made a promise with you that until you come to challenge me, I will maintain this champion's throne."

Watching the warm interaction between the 'adoptive father and son.'

Jaden Yuki held his teacup and shook his head helplessly.

Is he recognizing a thief as his father?

This was why it wasn't surprising that Aster almost broke down when he learned the truth three years later.

"Yubel, can you sense the aura from that person?"

Jaden Yuki used his teacup to cover half his face and asked in a low voice.

"That man named D.D.?"

Yubel's voice sounded beside Jaden Yuki.

She turned her head. In her heterochromatic eyes, the man's back was reflected.

"I can sense it. That man seems to be enveloped in a faint white mist."

"It's a very unpleasant feeling..."

Yubel frowned, her eyes filled with dangerous light.

"This power is very strong. At the same time, it's also eroding this man."

"No, or rather, this man has long been swallowed by this power."

"At this point, he's merely a toy of this power."

"Kurikuri." Winged Kuriboh nodded in agreement beside her.

So that's how it is.

The 'Light of Destruction' residing in [Destiny HERO - Plasma].

That evil power from the distant edge of the universe, powerful enough to destroy the entire world.

Jaden Yuki's eyes glowed with the color of the Supreme King.

His dark gold eyes reflected the white light around D.D.

"Hmm?"

Seemingly sensing someone observing him.

D.D. turned his head.

But he found that the other people in the restaurant were concentrating on their dinner, and there was nothing unusual.

Was it an illusion?

He still felt a chill down his spine.

D.D. dismissed the thought in his mind and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Seeing D.D. turn away.

Jaden Yuki, pretending to be looking at his communicator, slowly put it away and walked out of the restaurant.

"Is his observation sharp because of the Light of Destruction?"

"However, besides the Light of Destruction, there's no other aura on him."

"Is Destiny HERO - Plasma not on him now?"

Jaden Yuki felt a little regretful.

Originally, he wanted to test the true value of [Destiny HERO - Plasma].

But now, it seemed it would have to be postponed.

Beep beep beep beep

Walking out of the restaurant, Jaden Yuki, who had planned to go observe the dueling room in the hotel, suddenly heard a series of sounds from the communicator on his waist.

He opened the communicator, and on the screen, a familiar face appeared.

Silver-white hair falling to his shoulders, bangs covering his left eye, and a neat red suit.

Maximillion Pegasus.

"Jaden boy, by your looks, have you arrived at the hotel already?"

Pegasus showed a faint smile.

"Hmm, I've been here for a while."

Jaden Yuki responded.

"Then, Jaden boy, you must have met many different duelists, haven't you?"

Pegasus looked at Jaden Yuki, reminding him, "Jaden boy, you need to be careful of such duelists."

"Oh? Mr. Pegasus, are you going to entrust me with something again?"

Jaden Yuki showed an interested smile.

"Mr. Pegasus, you've been planning this request for months now, haven't you?"

Hearing Jaden Yuki's words, Pegasus was slightly stunned, then burst out laughing.

"It seems even this matter couldn't be hidden from Jaden boy?"

"Then, please listen carefully to what I'm about to say..."

"It's about this professional league, something important."

Pegasus's gaze gradually turned serious.

Half an hour later.

Jaden Yuki hung up the call with Pegasus, letting out a long sigh of relief.

It was just as he had guessed.

Pegasus's purpose in inviting him to this professional league was related to [Destiny HERO - Plasma] and the [Light of Destruction].

Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp, together with countless top international organizations, had discovered the existence of the Light of Destruction in the universe years ago.

And that evil power, capable of destroying worlds, also used the power of [cards].

Starting with the tragic death of Aster's father years ago.

It lurked in this world through the card [Destiny HERO - Plasma].

And this professional league, which gathered dueling masters from all over the world, was also an attempt by Pegasus to find the card [Destiny HERO - Plasma].

And Jaden Yuki, possessing special power, was currently the only person Pegasus could rely on.

Of course.

For Jaden Yuki, who already knew the plot well, neither the [Light of Destruction] nor [Destiny HERO - Plasma] was a big deal.

As long as he could duel, and conveniently save the world, it wasn't impossible.

Of course.

Since it was an entrustment from Industrial Illusions.

Jaden Yuki naturally wouldn't miss the chance to exploit a big shot.

Earlier.

While Jaden Yuki was still at Duel Academy.

He had once entrusted Industrial Illusions to create a new [Hero] deck.

And Jaden Yuki also took this opportunity to extort Pegasus, making him send over the deck that had already been completed but hadn't been mailed yet.

Thinking of Pegasus's somewhat helpless expression just now.

Jaden Yuki couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Cards in the system are so expensive. It's better to let the big shot design and print cards for free; that's the real good stuff."

Jaden Yuki also had no mind to go observe in the dueling room.

Humming a little tune, he returned to his room, quietly awaiting the arrival of his deck.

Early the next morning.

Jaden Yuki heard the doorbell ring outside his room door.

"Mr. Jaden, this is an expedited package from Mr. Pegasus. Please check it."

He opened the door and quickly took the package from the bellboy.

Jaden Yuki returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and eagerly opened the package.

As a brand new deck emerged from the package.

Jaden Yuki spread out the deck.

A smile curled his lips.

Vision HERO Adoration, Vision HERO Vyon, Vision HERO Increase, Vision HERO Minimum Ray, Vision HERO Poisoner, Vision HERO Multiply Guy, Vision HERO Poisoner, Vision HERO Witch Raider...

"Finally arrived! My [Vision HERO]!"
