Dark Fusion.

Looking at the card Jaden Yuki drew from his Deck. Saio's heart had never felt such fear. His eyes could clearly see the dark, mist-like aura surging from that card.

"This power... how is this possible..." Saio recoiled in horror. He had never imagined that such terrifying darkness was hidden within this young man's heart. This had exceeded the scope of his imagination. It had even surpassed all so-called destinies.

Jaden Yuki's eyes shone with a dark golden light. The power of the Supreme King within him began to surge wildly.

"I activate the Spell Card [Dark Fusion]."

"I banish [Evil HERO Malicious Bane] and [Vision HERO Faris] from my Graveyard!"

Zzzzz—zzzzt.

The lights in the Duel Room hissed with electricity under the shroud of darkness. Black mist began to spread throughout the entire Duel Room. Above the center of the room, black clouds gathered. In the lead-grey vortex, silver snake-like lightning bolts roared heavily.

Under this immense power, Saio actually felt a sense of unsteadiness, as if he might topple over. A fierce wind blew, causing Saio's robe to flap wildly. He resisted the oncoming gale, his eyes shimmering with terror. Something was coming!

"Sleeping in the darkness, the strongest, most evil hero."

"Light of Destruction, you should feel honored."

"Because, you are the first to witness this kind of hero."

Jaden Yuki slowly flipped the card clamped between his fingers.

"Come forth."

"My most loyal subordinate."

"[Evil HERO Malicious Bane]"

Rumble!

In an instant. The lead-grey vortex in the sky exploded. A figure descended from the sky onto the duel field, stirring up a continuously spreading black mist.

"Ughhhhhh!"

With this impact, Saio's body continuously recoiled. The Light of Destruction within his body radiated a strong will to survive. A pure white aura surged around him, desperately resisting this power.

"Impossible! A hero, how can there be such heavy darkness!"

This wasn't a hero! This absolutely couldn't be called a hero. Saio roared inwardly.

"Heheheh..."

A sinister cold laugh echoed within the black mist. Red light flashed. A hero clad in pitch-black armor, with heavy giant blades dragging from his arms, appeared before Saio after the black mist dissipated. His evil eyes shimmered with crimson light. A sinister smile played on his lips, faintly emitting a chilling laugh.

[Evil HERO Malicious Bane]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 3000, DEF: 3000]

"Judai, have you finally drawn out the darkness within you...?"

Yubel's phantom floated to the side, arms crossed. She silently watched the red-clad youth enveloped in black mist, a faint worry rising in her heart. Could he truly control this power now?

"Yubel, don't worry."

"!" Yubel was startled and looked at the youth. Jaden Yuki slowly raised his hand, extending his thumb behind his back towards Yubel.

"It seems I worried too much about you."

Yubel chuckled softly, shaking her head. The worry in her heart vanished at this moment.

At this moment, Jaden Yuki was bathed in the power of the Supreme King. He could feel the powerful energy continuously surging from within him. But he also wondered if it was because he was already familiar with this power. Jaden Yuki's mood was surprisingly calm. He wasn't lost in the slightest because of this power.

"Let's end this." Jaden Yuki took a deep breath, looking at Saio in front of him.

"I activate the Spell Card, [Polymerization]!"

"I fuse [Vision HERO Increase] and [Vision HERO Vyon] on the field!"

A colorful vortex rose on the field in front of Jaden Yuki. Increase and Vyon leaped into the fusion vortex. The next second, a hero with crossed arms and black armor emerged from the vortex. He slowly landed beside [Malicious Bane]. He exchanged a glance with the 'hero' beside him, who was radiating darkness.

"Hmph."

They seemed a little incompatible. The two heroes quickly averted their gaze, focusing on the enemy before them.

"A new hero, [Vision HERO Adoration]!"

[Vision HERO Adoration]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 2800, DEF: 2100]

"Another new hero appeared?"

"How is that possible? Jaden Yuki, while controlling such immense dark power, can he still maintain his true self and summon a hero completely devoid of darkness?"

"Impossible! How can this be so absurd!" Saio's mind was on the verge of collapse. Jaden Yuki... had exceeded his expectations by too much. His current self was definitely not Jaden Yuki's opponent! If the duel continued, only destruction awaited him!

"I activate the effect of [Evil HERO Malicious Bane]!"

"Destroy all monsters on your opponent's field with ATK less than or equal to this card's!"

"Also, for each monster destroyed by this effect, [Malicious Bane]'s ATK increases by 200 points!"

Jaden Yuki's gaze swept over the monsters on Saio's field. [The Empress], [The Strength], and his own [Elemental HERO Stratos].

"Go, Malicious Bane!"

As his words fell.

Malicious Bane clenched its fists, unleashing a powerful aura.

"Hah!"

The terrifying aura surged towards the monsters on Saio's field. In just an instant, Saio's three monsters shattered into fragments amidst their screams. And Malicious Bane seemed to be savoring the souls of the three monsters. He closed his eyes, feeling his power continuously increasing.

[Malicious Bane]

[ATK: 3000 → 3600]

Looking at Stratos, who had returned to his Graveyard, Jaden Yuki smiled and looked up at Saio. "Now, your field is empty."

"Are you still going to resist, Light of Destruction?"

"With just the two Set Cards on your field?"

Jaden Yuki had no intention of giving Saio any chance to turn the tables. Under Saio's despairing gaze, Jaden Yuki placed a card from his hand onto his Spell/Trap Zone.

"I activate the Spell Card, [Harpie's Feather Duster]."

"Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's field!"

"Nani?!"

Watching the two Set Cards on his field instantly destroyed by the fierce wind, Saio's last line of defense finally completely collapsed. Will he even cut off my last chance to resist?

Jaden Yuki... how can he be so strong? This is a person without any weaknesses.

Saio's heart pounded, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He felt his defeat. He seemed to see his own fate, about to be destroyed by Jaden Yuki.

"It's over, Light of Destruction."

Jaden Yuki clenched his fist and declared loudly, "[Malicious Bane], [Adoration], direct attack!"

However, at this very moment.

Jaden Yuki suddenly frowned. He heard a thunderous knocking on the Duel Room door from outside.

"Hey! Is anyone in the Duel Room?"

"We are staff from KaibaCorp. Today, the Duel Room needs its monthly maintenance. It's forbidden for anyone to use it. Please come out quickly!"

Monthly maintenance? Jaden Yuki was startled. Only then did he realize why the Duel Room was so deserted today, with no one in sight.

"Judai!" Yubel's voice echoed in Jaden Yuki's ear. He turned his head and saw Saio smashing through the Duel Room window, flipping out and escaping.

"Malicious Bane! Adoration!" Jaden Yuki's eyes shimmered with a dark golden light.

[Malicious Bane] and [Adoration]'s bodies instantly materialized. The two heroes exchanged a glance, then, obeying Jaden Yuki's command, chased after him through the broken window.

The surrounding images slowly dissipated as the duel ended. Jaden Yuki took off his Duel Disk. Behind him, the Duel Room door was also crashed open at this moment. Several KaibaCorp staff members walked in. Upon seeing Jaden Yuki, they were all startled.

"Judai-senshu? Why are you here?"

"What happened? Was the Duel Room window broken?"

"Did someone jump out of here?"

"How is that possible? This is the sixth floor!"

Looking at the bewildered staff, Jaden Yuki didn't explain anything. He just silently turned and left.

As soon as he returned to his room, two beams of light shot in from outside the window, entering Jaden Yuki's card box. Jaden Yuki opened the card box at his waist. He saw [Malicious Bane] and [Adoration] quietly lying in his Deck.

"Judai, it seems he got away." Yubel's phantom appeared beside Jaden Yuki.

"Mm, I know." Jaden Yuki closed his card box and stretched. "I deliberately let him go."

"Oh?" Yubel was slightly startled.

"The Light of Destruction cannot disappear yet." Jaden Yuki smiled.

"Oh? Why?" Yubel was a little curious. Although the Light of Destruction posed no threat to Jaden Yuki, with Judai's personality, he shouldn't have held back.

"Because," Jaden Yuki chuckled.

Because my new Neo-Spacian is still floating in space. I need the Light of Destruction to unlock it.

If I destroyed the Light of Destruction now, wouldn't I lose the chance to obtain a new Neo-Spacian?

Of course, Jaden Yuki wouldn't say this out loud.
