With the appearance of the whirlwind, the [Mystic Mine] standing on Jaden Yuki's field finally shattered in response. The demon's cave behind Jaden Yuki turned into a phantom and dissipated. The surrounding scenery once again returned to the ordinary duel field.
However, the shattering of Mystic Mine did not make anyone happy at all. Because, "It's time for the kill."
The Quick-Play Spell [Mask Change] in Jaden Yuki's hand transformed into a belt with an "M" symbol, appearing on Witch Raider's waist.
"Hah!"
Witch Raider was covered in black light. Along with a familiar "henshin" sound, the black light around Witch Raider gradually faded, and a hero in full black armor with a single horn on its forehead appeared on Jaden Yuki's field.
[Masked HERO Anki]
[Level: 8]
[ATK: 2800, DEF: 1200]
"Go! Anki, direct attack on the opponent's player!"
With the command given, Anki leaped. The Rider Kick, enveloped in black light, instantly pierced through Mana Miyashita's body.
[LP: 3600 → 800]
"Ugh!"
With a scream, Mana Miyashita fell to the ground, a look of despair in her eyes.
"Then, activate another Quick-Play Spell [Form Change].
"Return one [HERO] Fusion Monster on the field to the Extra Deck, and Special Summon a [Masked HERO] with the same original Level but a different card name!"
Jaden Yuki raised his left arm and placed the Spell Card in the Spell/Trap Zone of his Duel Disk. Meanwhile, the armor on Anki instantly cracked, and golden light emerged from within. Subsequently, the golden armor began to reattach to the hero's body!
"Come forth! [Masked HERO Koga]!"
[Masked HERO Koga]
[Level: 8]
[ATK 2500, DEF 1800]
"This is the final attack." Jaden Yuki said coldly.
"Go! Koga!"
Koga instantly transformed into a beam of light. In a flash, a dazzling light erupted on the duel field. All the spectators covered their eyes from the terrifying light, and amidst gasps of surprise, Koga delivered the final blow of this duel.
[Jaden Yuki WINS]
The light dissipated, leaving the worldwide audience with only the gradually fading virtual image and Mana Miyashita, who sat slumped on the ground, still dazed. Even the audience was stunned. For a long time, there was no applause at all.
"W-what just happened?"
"J-Jaden Yuki won?" The host looked bewildered. He didn't even know what had happened. Just a minute ago, Jaden Yuki was struggling under the invincible lock of the Monarch Deck, but in just a blink of an eye, he had already won?
Whether it was breaking the Monarch's lock or defeating the opponent with a transformation strategy, all of this happened in just one minute. It was too fast. Everything happened too quickly, leaving people no time to react.
"The winner of this match is..."
"Jaden Yuki!!!"
As the host recovered from his daze and made the loud announcement, the stunned audience finally awoke as if from a dream, rising to their feet and cheering and applauding.
"Amazing... Jaden Yuki actually broke through the Monarch Deck head-on."
"Can the HERO Deck really create miracles?"
"It's not the Deck itself that creates miracles."
Alexis Rhodes stared blankly at Jaden Yuki, who was calmly leaving the video. She murmured softly, "Jaden Yuki is the fundamental reason for creating miracles."
Powerful strength and unparalleled drawing luck. This young man actually found the only chance to turn the tide in a situation where survival was almost impossible.
"Too strong... such a duelist is simply impregnable."
Feeling the enthusiastic cheers from the scene on the screen, Alexis Rhodes closed her phone and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"I really want to go see his match live."
Aster Phoenix stood still, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. With Jaden Yuki's final victory, Aster Phoenix felt the gap between himself and Jaden Yuki at that moment.
"Sartorius was right. The difference in strength between him and me is indeed too great."
"Although I am unwilling, I have to admit that my Destiny HEROes are no match for you, Jaden Yuki."
"However."
Looking at the message Jaden Yuki advances displayed on his communicator, as well as the allocation of his next opponent, Aster Phoenix's lips curled into a smile.
"This kind of duel is interesting, isn't it?"
In the VIP section, DD silently watched Jaden Yuki win. Indeed, Jaden Yuki's strength had completely exceeded his expectations. In front of him, even using Ultimate D, he probably wouldn't be able to win... This had completely gone beyond his expectations.
"Damn it."
DD slammed the table, a fierce white light flashing in his eyes.
["Genius Teen Jaden Yuki, astounding comeback!"]
["Genius Teen Jaden Yuki breaks through invincible lock, wins C-Block Championship! Advances to the final battle!"]
["Who will be the Duel King this year? Rising Duel Genius Jaden Yuki, likely to be the ultimate winner!"]
With the conclusion of the C-Block finals, an overwhelming number of reports, like snowflakes, descended upon major forums. Almost overnight, the name "Jaden Yuki" instantly trended. The topic of the HERO Deck breaking through the Monarch Deck's strongest lock head-on also became a shocking event for all duelists.
[This is too outrageous, isn't it? How can a HERO Deck of that strength break through the Monarch Deck's lock?]
[Jaden Yuki truly lives up to his title as the strongest HERO user, he's incredibly powerful.]
[I watched that duel and was so excited, I immediately assembled a HERO Deck, but then I got beaten to a pulp.]
[What kind of trash HEROes do you have? Jaden Yuki's exclusive HEROes are one of a kind in the world, okay?]
[I really can't understand how the Monarch lock, with a nearly 100% win rate, was broken.]
[Too strong, truly too strong, this Jaden Yuki guy.]
[I heard he's only thirteen this year.]
[Holy crap, really? When I was thirteen, I was still playing with mud in junior high.]
[He's truly a genius duelist. I think the champion of this year's professional league will definitely be Jaden Yuki.]
[Don't underestimate the defending champion DD, and also that other young genius, Aster Phoenix!]
Discussions on the forum continued endlessly. Reruns and recordings of the C-Block final duel almost became a must-watch for all duelists.
Duel Academy.
The discussion about this matter in the class even surpassed the upcoming monthly exam.
"It's hard to imagine what kind of mindset Jaden Yuki had to complete that comeback."
"That Mystic Mine was really insidious, but it bought Jaden Yuki a lot of time."
"So cool, no matter how you look at it, the moment Jaden Yuki completed that comeback, it was really cool!"
Both boys and girls almost fell into a personal cult of Jaden Yuki.
"Hoo..."
Sitting in her seat, Alexis Rhodes let out a small yawn. The faint dark circles under her eyes made her look a little tired. Staying up late every night watching the live broadcast had led to severe sleep deprivation. Sometimes, she would even fall asleep during class.
"I'll have to be careful with this monthly exam," Alexis Rhodes muttered softly, looking at the textbook in her hand, but her mind was still replaying last night's duel.
If it were me, facing such a desperate situation, how would I solve it?
It seems, no matter how I think about it, there's no way.
Alexis Rhodes sighed inwardly.
"A-le-xis."
Just then, her two friends, Junko and Momoe, came over. Seeing the dark circles under Alexis Rhodes's eyes, the two exchanged glances and instantly understood something.
"Haha~"
"What are you laughing at?" Alexis Rhodes glared at the two of them.
"Who knows~ Hehehehe." The two covered their mouths and snickered, leaving Alexis Rhodes puzzled.
These two, really.
New York.
In a luxurious hotel room.
After yesterday's match, Jaden Yuki rejected all interviews and meetings with large numbers of fans. He had been hiding in his hotel room, organizing the rewards he received after yesterday's duel victory.
[Congratulations to the host for defeating the duelist — Mana Miyashita]
[Detected that Mana Miyashita's Deck strength is high, obtained Duel Experience x5]
[Obtained Duel Experience: 50000]
[Obtained Duel Points: 2000]
[Current Ability: Supreme King's Power: LV.MAX]
[Congratulations to the host, Supreme King's Power has reached max level—]
[Ultimate Fusion Card, unlocked]
Jaden Yuki sat cross-legged on the head of the bed, his eyes slightly closed, quietly sensing the blurred card in his mind. As the Supreme King's Power reached its peak, Jaden Yuki found that the originally blurred card face was becoming clearer. It seemed that with just a thought, he could access it at any time.
This card...
Looking at the card floating in his thoughts, Jaden Yuki frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation rising in his heart.
"Should I touch this card...?"
The ultimate power that could fuse all dimensions. If this card appeared in the world, what kind of stir it would cause was something Jaden Yuki could not predict.
'Knock knock knock'
Amidst his hesitation, a knock sounded at the door. Jaden Yuki opened his eyes, and his Supreme King's Eyes gradually returned to their original brown color. He scratched his head, got out of bed, and walked to the door.
"Who is it?"
Opening the door, Jaden Yuki found a curvaceous blue-haired woman, standing with one hand grasping her arm, leaning against his doorway.
"Mana Miyashita?"
Jaden Yuki was startled, recognizing the woman who used the Monarch Deck.
"Little brother Jaden, is it convenient for this elder sister to come in and talk to you?" the woman asked with a tired smile.
