Beneath his feet were multiple dark purple fish tails, and his body was surrounded by tentacle-like roots. The evil god Kaledorhat appeared on Yusei's field amidst the light of fusion summoning.

With his arrival, an evil aura began to spread around him.

Thus ended the chain of events initiated by Yusei through the creation of graveyards, and his field now had one more—

【Elemental HERO Neos Valiant】(ATK: 2500), 【Shadowy Midrash】(ATK: 2200), and 【Elegy of the Pearl Clan Kaledorhat】(ATK: 3000) are three Fusion Monsters belonging to different systems!

The combined attack power of the three monsters is 7700 points, enough to deliver a fatal finishing blow to X and snatch the crown of victory in one fell swoop!

"Damn it, since it's a Special Summon... the Trap Card's effect won't trigger, right?"

Since the effect of the Continuous Trap Card [Monster Counter] only applies to Normal Summoned monsters, the appearance of these Fusion Monsters will not trigger the Deck destruction effect.

After glancing at the unresponsive Mimic on his field, X let out a complaining sound.

However... what X didn't know was that Yusei didn't actually care that his deck was sent to the graveyard.

"The opening sequence is complete. Next... the effect of [Tears of Elegy - Kaledorhat] activates! If this card is Special Summoned, you can target 1 card your opponent controls; return that card to its owner's Deck!"

X: "..."

"Ah……"

Pointing to the only monster remaining on the X field, Yusei slowly curled the corners of his mouth: "Needless to say, I choose to bounce the 800 ATK [Trap Disruptor] back to the deck!"

The only thing that could pose any obstacle to Yusei was the monster located in front of X.

As Yusei finished speaking, the multiple tentacles surrounding Kaledorhat suddenly stretched out, wrapped around the body of the Triangular Land Machine, swung it around in the air a few times, and then flung it to the other side of the dimension (referring to X's deck).

With the monster's departure, X was left in an awkward empty state.

Faced with the overwhelmingly popular deck, all his plans were disrupted, and he could no longer muster even the slightest resistance.

"...Gulp! This kind of thing...this kind of thing!"

X gripped his right hand tightly, his knuckles turning white, and his face showed an extremely unwilling expression: "This shouldn't be, this shouldn't be happening!!!"

The frontcourt was completely cleared, and even the magic tubes used as a precaution in the backcourt were blown away prematurely.

Although X's health points haven't reached zero yet, even Edward, an outsider, could see that X was destined for defeat.

He is now completely unable to withstand the attacks of the three fusion monsters on the Yusei Field.

"That's it! The battle has begun, X... Take this! Trinity Fusion Magic Light!!!"

Facing the three fusion monsters in front of him, Yusei resolutely gave the order to attack directly. Upon receiving the order, the fusion monsters raised their arms and unleashed their ultimate attacks on the unprotected X.

The Wrath of the New Universe, the Tragedy of Shadow, the Sound of Tears...

The three attacks merged into one in mid-air, intertwining with each other, and finally transformed into an ultimate fusion magic light, which flew rapidly toward X's location.

With his body locked in place, unable to resist or escape, X simply took the direct attack from the monsters head-on.

After his health points reached zero, this professional player, unable to accept the fact, immediately tilted his head to the side and fainted...

(X LP: 0)

(Winner: Yusei!)

……

"Am I just too strong, or is this guy just too weak?"

"How come he collapsed before I even got really serious?"

Looking at X lying unconscious on the ground, Yusei, who had won the duel with an absolute advantage, scratched his head in confusion.

This guy named X, who claims to be Edward's senior and a long-established professional duelist, shouldn't have fallen so quickly...

But this somewhat surreal reality was laid bare before Yusei, forcing him to believe it...

This isn't Duel City, and X was just cannon fodder for Gurus. Besides, Yusei himself wasn't interested in X's trash deck, so after the victory, Yusei didn't try to capitalize on the momentum.

After looking around and making sure there was nothing else to do, he shrugged and turned to leave.

Well... in short, we won the most important duel. As for other things, there's no need to rush.

"It seems I need to temporarily restrain the power that Vessas bestowed upon me..."

After two duels that ended without any suspense, Yusei felt that the duels had lost their challenge and decided to temporarily seal away the Teardrop.

If this continues without restraint, I fear I will replace Saiou and become the public enemy of all duelists in the world...

Yusei didn't want to see his future opponents immediately pull out the screws and give up as soon as they saw him pull out his tears, while also giving him the middle finger.

Rather than becoming a ruthless player who climbs the ranks, he would rather experience this rare life in another world.

……

Under the influence of the Tear of the Underworld, the duel ended prematurely in a very comical and unexpected way.

With almost no effort, Yusei easily defeated X, a professional duelist who had been active in the professional league for a long time.

With her silver twin tails and crystal-clear blue eyes, Edward, who had witnessed everything, emerged from the shadows after Yusei left.

After glancing in the direction Yusei had left, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

In between duels, Edward, who is currently financially independent, also dressed up as a Pretty Cure fighting evil, much like Batman in Gotham City, and imposed righteous personal sanctions on villains who were beyond the reach of the law in the dark of night.

During this process, she also acquired formidable strength and covert methods that did not match her appearance.

Therefore, even when facing a situation like the real-life Kombat, she possesses confidence and strength that rivals anyone else.

In a rare instance, she found herself sharing a similar thought with X before he fell into a coma.

That is……

The Netherworld Pearl Tears, this is...

Is it a chaotic evil deck born from another dimension?

Is there really a duelist on Earth who can defeat it?

Even if the Duelist King Yugi Muto himself were to appear, he probably wouldn't be able to shake its influence.

How can there be such an overpowered deck in the world?

It's clearly my turn, so why are you able to interfere?

I was clearly trying to weaken your deck, so why did you manage to turn the tables and wipe me out?

With this deck, Yusei is already the strongest creature on Earth, right?

What about [Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End -]? ... With almost no strength and a whole bunch of restrictions, does it even deserve to be called a forbidden card?

"Yusei... As expected, you are my greatest enemy in this life!"

Unaware that Yusei planned to temporarily seal the [Tears of the Netherworld], Edward clenched his hand after silently reciting Yusei's name.

At this moment, she already regarded Yusei as her lifelong nemesis!

522 and the Reunion with Edward

"...The divination results are—the Wheel of Fortune, the elusive Fool, the Dharma King, and the Power, is that right?"

"This also means that... Yusei, Jaden Yuki, and Edward will one day become the ones who control my destiny..."

Saiou Takuma, who was on his way to the Duel Academy on his private jet, suddenly decided to do a divination about his future.

The result he obtained was also very unexpected.

It's one thing for heroes like Yusei to be heroes, but what about their final "power"?

The card that is close to "The Fool" – Jaden Yuki – represents the person who has always been by his side, and the one who best fits the condition of being a symbol of power is Jaden Yuki's little brother and follower – Dilano Kenzan.

"Ha... even this man can hinder my plans, huh?"

"Duel Academy... this is a more interesting place than I ever imagined!"

With a soft sigh, uttering such a sentiment, the King of the West reached out again and began to clean the tarot cards before him.

At the same time, along with the smirk on his lips, a plan targeting [power] began to take shape in his mind and then spread continuously.

……

Osiris Red Dormitory, Yusei and his friends' room.

Since Hayato had gone to work as a card designer at the International Fantasy Company, his long-vacant bed was naturally taken over by Kenzan, Jaden Yuki's underling.

Every now and then, Kenzan would leave the dormitory of the Sun God Huang and come to Yusei and the others' room to play cards and spend the night.

Since today is a rare day for the golden hen to lay golden eggs, Yusei and his friends went to draw bread early in the morning after hearing the news.

At this moment, only Kenzan, who had been playing cards too late, was left in the dormitory. He was fast asleep with his head covered.

In this state, the Prince of Sai, dressed in a white trench coat, walked into the room with a mysterious smile on his face.

"...This is Jaden Yuki's room, right?"

After briefly observing the room's simple interior decorations, Saiou quickly lost interest in the room and then set his sights on Kenzan, who was lying on the bed.

Reaching the foot of the sword mountain, he spoke calmly, voicing his question.

"Huh? Who are you...? What do you want with Big Brother?"

Sensing the presence of a stranger, Kenzan, with his dinosaur-like keen intuition, suddenly opened his eyes.
