C-Region Tournament.
The first round of the Top 16 selection had concluded.
Jaden Yuki's astonishing performance
Also made him, while gaining massive fame, instantly become the most highly regarded player in Region C.
Not only were all the professional duelists who advanced to the Top 16 in Region C desperately studying Jaden Yuki's duels,
Even professional duelists from other A, B, and D regions began to study this "Jaden Yuki" child in advance.
"Jaden Yuki..."
In a luxurious room,
D.D. sat upright in front of a giant TV screen, seriously watching the young man dueling on the screen.
In front of him lay a briefcase, firmly protected by a password lock.
Although the briefcase was impregnable,
An ominous white aura still visibly seeped out from within the briefcase.
"A powerful HERO user."
"His dueling skill is very high, higher than most professional duelists?"
"Heh heh heh."
D.D. sneered darkly.
His originally soft eye corners now gradually sharpened.
But.
It was useless.
Before this Ultimate D,
All cards would be unable to unleash their original power.
I will destroy him... completely destroy him.
D.D.'s eyes gradually became frenzied,
An invisible breeze stirred around his body.
Walking through the hotel corridor,
The moment he merely pushed open the door of the restaurant,
Jaden Yuki felt all eyes in the room instantly converge on him.
Jaden Yuki looked up.
He saw that in the bustling restaurant,
Almost all duelists were now watching this emerging young man in red.
Curiosity.
Surprise.
Astonishment.
Envy.
All sorts of gazes intertwined. Many professional duelists were already whispering, discussing Jaden Yuki.
"Is that Jaden Yuki? He's even younger than I thought."
"Hmph, he looks like a cocky brat."
"Doesn't look like much to me, hmph. Seems like Region C is just a bunch of average duelists after all."
"Jaden, are you getting too much attention because of your outstanding performance?"
Yubel's phantom slowly appeared beside Jaden Yuki.
She coldly watched the surrounding people, dangerous light flickering in her eyes.
She could sense the faint hostility emanating from these people.
Jaden Yuki's overly outstanding performance had clearly become a target for everyone at this moment.
"This kind of thing is normal, alright."
Jaden Yuki chuckled, saying indifferently, "Rather, let's just keep this momentum going."
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
Yubel suddenly asked.
Jaden Yuki didn't answer.
But he also didn't deny Yubel's words.
That's right.
Attracting attention was indeed something Jaden Yuki did on purpose.
He could have been more low-key during the tournament, making the easily won duels last longer.
That way, he could not only steadily advance but also generate less animosity before the matches.
However, the sensation he would create that way would definitely not be as great as it was now.
"Only by appearing before others in a crushing manner can you attract enough attention."
Of course.
For Jaden Yuki, what he wanted to attract was not merely others' attention,
But rather, the attention of the person behind all of this.
"Jaden, sometimes I feel like you scheme things that even I can't understand."
Looking at this young man whose face was still somewhat immature, but whose eyes were terrifyingly seasoned,
Yubel sighed, filled with emotion.
The current Jaden Yuki.
Was no longer the innocent little prince from a thousand years ago, needing others' protection.
This him, constantly moving towards a different path,
Made Yubel wonder if this was truly a good thing.
She was also silently observing Jaden.
Wanting to try her best to understand everything in Jaden's heart.
After dinner,
Jaden Yuki chose not to return to his room.
Instead, he walked towards the hotel's dueling room.
Due to the tournament schedule these past few days,
Jaden Yuki hadn't been able to properly experience the hotel's latest dueling facilities.
Now that he finally had the chance, Jaden Yuki naturally wanted to experience it thoroughly.
"According to my schedule, my next duel isn't until the day after tomorrow."
Looking at the schedule displayed on his communicator, Jaden Yuki confirmed it and slowly nodded.
Tomorrow,
He had another day to research the remaining participating players.
Although in the Regional Tournament, he had successively defeated many opponents with the quick-attack characteristic of his [HERO] Deck,
As the tournament progressed, the characteristics of his Deck would gradually cease to be a secret.
When going second again, opponents would definitely be more prepared.
"It's still better to be careful."
Jaden Yuki stroked his chin, thinking about his Deck's composition.
Unconsciously, he had already arrived outside the hotel's dueling room.
Entering the dueling room,
Jaden Yuki found the dueling room surprisingly quiet and empty.
There wasn't a single duelist on the entire dueling stage.
It was completely contrary to the scene of a packed dueling arena Jaden Yuki had imagined.
"Why is there no one here...?"
Jaden Yuki frowned.
But he quickly sensed that something was wrong.
"Jaden, be careful... This feeling." Yubel materialized beside Jaden Yuki, dangerous light flickering in her eyes.
"Kurikuri!"
Winged Kuriboh also appeared to one side, seemingly having sensed something as well.
Buzz.
Buzz.
The lights in the room suddenly began to flicker.
The surrounding air also seemed to gradually solidify as the color tone turned colder.
Golden-brown light flickered in Jaden Yuki's eyes.
The power of the Supreme King now appeared on his body without hesitation.
Tap...
Tap...
Tap...
Unhurried footsteps sounded from one end of the dueling room.
In this empty dueling arena, the footsteps sounded exceptionally clear.
Jaden Yuki followed the sound.
He saw a man in a white robe, his face concealed by a hood, who had already appeared on the dueling stage.
He wore a Tarot card-style Duel Disk on his left arm.
The eyes under his hood occasionally flickered with purple light as the lights brightened and dimmed.
"Jaden Yuki."
"Guided by fate, have you come here to accept the destiny that rightfully belongs to you?"
"You." Jaden Yuki looked at the man in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Although his appearance was obscured,
Jaden Yuki could easily recognize his identity.
[Sartorius]
The antagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's second season.
Sure enough, is all of this related to him?
No, not him.
But the [Light of Destruction] attached to him.
"Jaden Yuki, come duel me... and embrace your fate of destruction."
Sartorius slowly raised his left arm.
The Duel Disk on his left arm also gradually unfolded at this moment.
Will he duel even without a word?
However, in the world of card games, such illogical things seemed to become somewhat logical.
Although he hadn't thought of dueling him now,
Jaden Yuki never shied away from any duel.
Wearing his Duel Disk on his arm, Jaden Yuki's answer was already very clear.
That's right.
Fate had already given its instruction.
This duel was a duel of destiny to uncover the source of his power.
Come, Jaden Yuki. Step into the trap of destiny.
Under his hood, Sartorius's face revealed a sinister smile.
"Jaden, this person gives me a bad feeling. Be careful."
Yubel warned in a cold voice.
"Mm, I know."
Jaden Yuki walked onto the dueling stage, looked at Sartorius in front of him, and unfolded his Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
[Sartorius: LP4000]
[Jaden Yuki: LP4000]
"I'll go first."
Sartorius looked at Jaden Yuki.
His gaze converged on Jaden Yuki's eyes, which shone with a golden-brown light.
"So that's it. Jaden Yuki's power originates from the most primitive spirit power?"
"This, should be the legendary 'Spirit User,' right?"
"A unique individual capable of communicating with and controlling spirits."
"However, his power should be more than just this."
"There are more, many more secrets, waiting for fate to uncover."
Sartorius picked up a card, slowly inverted it, and displayed it before Jaden Yuki.
"Normal Summon, [Arcana Force III - The Empress]."
[The Empress!]
Buzz.
Summoning light flickered in front of Sartorius.
A withered female alien creature appeared on Sartorius's field.
[Arcana Force III - The Empress]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1300, DEF: 1300]
Has it begun?
The Arcana Force Deck.
Jaden Yuki frowned.
"At this moment, destiny begins to turn."
Sartorius waved his hand.
A Tarot card, imprinted with a female image, floated behind him.
And began to slowly rotate.
Dong, dong, dong, dong...
Each time the Tarot card rotated an angle, a heavy bell would chime.
Just like the striking of fate.
Invisible fluctuations began to spread with the rotation of the Tarot card.
"Fate is already decided."
"It's upright!"
Dong—!
With the last heavy sound,
The position of the Tarot card accurately landed on what Sartorius called "upright."
The Tarot card floated behind Sartorius.
Nothing seemed to have happened.
But Jaden Yuki knew that in that instant, the future of fate had already begun to change.
