Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"In this way, [Tyrant Neptune] will inherit all the effects of [Lyrical Nightingale - Independent Nightingale], and will be granted the attribute of being unaffected by the effects of other cards, and..."

Yusei & Jaden Yuki: "...Furthermore, the attack and defense of [Tyrant Neptune] will increase by 500 points due to the inherited permanent effect of [Lyrical Nightingale - Solitary Nightingale]!"

After exchanging a high five with each other, Yusei and Jaden Yuki simultaneously shouted the above words.

"Beep beep... This monster, 【Tyrant Neptune】, is a 10-star monster... Could it be that you're planning to...?"

"That's right! 10 x 500... So its attack power will receive a huge boost of 5000 points right now!"

Stomping hard on the ground beneath its feet, the terrifying beast of the water world raised its head and let out a huge roar that shook the heavens.

With that roar, in that instant, it seemed the entire new space world resonated with a powerful surge of energy...

(【Tyrant Neptune】Attack Power: 1000→6000)

"Beep beep... Attack power 6000!!! It's actually... on par with [Light Beast Gandirala]!!!"

Seeing the attributes of Tyrant Neptune skyrocketing like a rocket, the alien, enduring the monster's oppressive aura, couldn't help but take a few steps back due to excessive shock.

Realizing this, it quickly showed a look of anger and embarrassment: "Onolei! Damn Earthlings! Don't think you can defeat me like this! This is only the first round! You can't even launch an attack. In the next round..."

Yusei & Jaden Yuki: "...Solvadorana (That's hard to say)!"

"...What?!"

"Didn't I tell you? This round of the duel is about to end! You... don't have a next round!"

With mysterious smiles on their faces, Yusei and Jaden Yuki exchanged a knowing glance before simultaneously shouting, "[Tyrant Neptune] (Lyrical Nightingale) effect activated! Once per turn, during your Main Phase, inflict damage to your opponent equal to this card's Level x 500!"

"Varied……!!!"

Tyrant Neptune is a level 10 planet, so at this moment, the aliens will suffer effect damage equal to its life points, a full 5000 points!

Unable to resist, unable to refuse!

Faced with Tyrant Neptune, which is equipped with all resistances, the aliens could only reluctantly accept the massive effect damage head-on!

"It's over, and then... goodbye!"

The colossal sea god of death swung its giant scythe, and as the two finished speaking, it simultaneously cleaved the alien opposite it in two!

(Alien LP: 5000→0)

472 So, what is the cost? (5K)

"Beep beep~~~~ Ughhhhhh... Give me light! Give me more light!!!!"

Along with the last of his life points, the alien figure, cleaved in two by Tyrant Neptune, vanished into countless points of light amidst the explosion, watched by Yusei and Jaden Yuki.

Just like the Dark Duel that Yusei and his friends experienced in their previous duel with the Seven Star King, the loser in this duel will also lose their life.

After realizing this, the two survivors couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"It seems that the crisis is over."

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the aliens, who were minions of the Light of Destruction, were defeated by their combined attack, and this new space in Jupiter's orbit returned to its former tranquility.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Yusei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"...Is that all? By defeating that guy in a duel, we've protected the universe?" Jaden Yuki murmured to himself, still feeling a sense of unreality.

"No! The real battle... only begins now!"

Answering their questions aloud, Dolphin raised his head slightly and looked towards the direction beyond the universe: "Judai, Yusei, congratulations on passing the test duel and defeating that guy, thus proving that you have the strength to fight against the Light of Destruction!"

"...A test duel?"

“That’s right! Jaden… you have rediscovered the pure heart you had when you created us as a child. Now… you will no longer be so easily affected by the Light of Destruction and become unable to duel as before.”

Patting Jaden Yuki on the shoulder, Dolphin smiled and said, "From now on... the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of the universe and saving the universe from destruction caused by the Light of Destruction will be entrusted to you and your companions!"

"Ah! Leave it to me!" Judai Yuki clenched his right fist, patted his chest forcefully, and his face was full of confidence.

Although there are still many things I don't understand about the battle between light and darkness, well... let's just keep fighting like this!

As memories of the past gradually resurface, Jaden Yuki recalls the joy he felt when creating cards.

His childhood dream of becoming the hero who would save the universe was the catalyst for his duels.

【Elemental Heroes: Neo-Universe】 and the brand new 【Neo-Space Heroes】 series...

This is the new power that Jaden Yuki has now gained, a power truly created by himself, and a deck that suits him even better than the Elemental HERO series...

The card, born from Jaden Yuki's heart of freedom, connects the universe in which everyone resides with the Neo Space universe.

Those who possess the correct dark power will become the bridge connecting the two universes, saving this universe from destruction under the deliberate guidance of the Light of Destruction...

……

Duel Academy, Osiris Red Dormitory.

Several days have passed since Jaden Yujo and Yusei embarked on their journey to find each other and left this place.

During this time, Kenzan, the younger brother, would come over from time to time to inquire about the two's return.

In his heart, without the two heroes who had defeated him, even eating seemed to have become tasteless...

"Aaaaaah!!! I can't take it anymore!"

The red dining hall of Osiris echoed with the complaints of Manjoume.

After being defeated by Saiō, stained with the color of the light of destruction, and changed into a pure white uniform, his demands seemed to become stricter.

The simple meals he used to be used to now seem like pig swill to him, making them hard to swallow.

"What's wrong? Manjoume... what kind of mischief are you up to now?"

Ever since he changed into a brand new outfit, Manjoume has become quite eccentric.

Even Sizawa Sky, who occasionally comes over for a free meal and to make his presence known, has gotten used to his eccentric behavior.

Therefore, when Manjou complained, he didn't even lift his eyelids and directly said those words.

"Making a scene? Kisama... cough cough! It's not that I'm complaining about the food..." After a pause, Manjoume continued, "But... why is the food different every time?! Isn't there any pure white food here that can catch my eye?"

"Speaking of which, no matter what kind of food it is, Judai-nii always looks like he's enjoying it very much..." Kenzan, sitting opposite Manjoume, rested his chin on his hand, with a look of reminiscence and bewilderment on his face.

After not seeing Jaden Yuki wolfing down his food, even the food seemed to lose its appeal.

"...Hmph! It has nothing to do with whether Judai and the others are here or not!"

He held up his finger and wagged it, then arrogantly raised his head, striking a pose like a young master: "For someone as noble as me, breakfast should be dazzling white bread and beautiful milk! And lunch should be omelet rice made entirely of egg whites..."

"Um... I don't think that kind of thing can be called omelet rice, right?" Hearing Manjoume's confused words, which sounded like he was having a seizure, Yosawa Tenku couldn't help but raise his arm and wipe the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead.

What the hell is this omelet rice made from egg whites? Does such a thing even exist?

"Sword Mountain! What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, Wan Zhangmu braced himself on the table, stood up abruptly, and launched an attack on Jian Shan.

"Huh? What? What are you doing... I just wanted to pour soy sauce on the bland tofu!" Kenzan, who had just been yelled at by Manjoume, picked up the soy sauce bottle from the table and a big question mark appeared on his forehead.

"Ugh... To actually dye the shiny white tofu black is unforgivable! Don't you know that the white of tofu is an extraordinary white?" With a wide swing of his arms, Manjoume spoke in an extremely serious tone, uttering words that left everyone bewildered.

In short, the goal is to pursue the ultimate pure white; black soy sauce and the like are simply heretical!

"...I don't understand what you're trying to say?"

Completely bewildered by Wan Zhangmu's perplexing actions, Jian Shan raised an eyebrow, decisively raised his arm, and poured the soy sauce bottle he was holding onto the tofu: "Hehe! Watch me dye it black!"

"Stop it!!!" Seeing that Kenzan had no intention of obeying, Manju didn't even think twice before reaching out and grabbing his arm to stop his blasphemous act.

"...Let go of me!"

"I'm not!"

"Damn it! What I do with my food is my business! Manjoume, you're such a busybody!"

"Hmph! Speaking of which... Kenzan, you're clearly a student of the Sun God Huang, so why do you, like Misawa, keep coming to our Osiris Red!"

"Heh... This is none of your business!"

"What the hell... um? What's with this food smelling so good? How can it smell so good? Does Osiris Red have such delicacies?"

While Manjoume was entangled with Kenzan, in a position where they were locked in a power struggle, he was about to say something when he suddenly smelled the aroma of curry.

Drawn to the extraordinary and exquisite fragrance, he instantly forgot what had just happened and instinctively loosened his grip.

Meanwhile, Kenzan, on the other side, also paused for a moment before revealing the same puzzled expression as Manjoume.

"What...this fragrance..."

"Wow...is this really the kind of flavor that curry can produce?"

"Aaaaaah... Who is it that's poisoning people here?!"

"...You wretched demon, how dare you disturb my arduous cultivation! This old monk will go and subdue you right now!!!"

Following the direction of the aroma, everyone in the cafeteria involuntarily got up and left.

Feeling puzzled, Manjou and the others put down their bowls and chopsticks and followed behind the crowd.

then……

As they left the cafeteria, they saw a motorhome parked outside the Osiris Red Dormitory, and a man stirring a large iron pot with a large wooden ladle next to it.

Wearing an orange apron, covering his head with a brown paper bag with three holes cut out, and dressed in a sun god yellow uniform...

This man looks extremely suspicious no matter how you look at him!

"Aaaaah... It really is curry! I won't be polite!!!"

Holding a large bowl of hot rice, Kenzan, feeling his mouth watering, immediately used brute force to push through the crowd and reach the front of the pot, offering his bowl.

I don't know what happened, but anyway... I'll just treat it as a snack and that's it!

"Aaaaaah... I want some too!"

"It smells so good...it's amazing...compared to this, the food we ate before was practically pig swill! Even a dog wouldn't eat it!!!"

"Damn it, Kenzan... you freeloader who cut in line! Get back in line and get the hell out of here!!!"

"Pfft! Enough said! Anyway, I won't hold back~~~~"
