Chapter 162: Absolute Zero Hero!

"The covered card is this one, not Electronic Revolution?"

At the end of Judai's turn, Sanzawa Daichi looked at the cards on the field and exclaimed in surprise.

"But Ryo's duels always choose Electronic End Dragon," Asuka said, feeling she knew Ryo well, and she looked especially shocked at seeing this card.

"No, that's not Ryo's duel," Tenjo Kiyomi instantly understood why—he had shared life-or-death bonds with Ryo Fujiki—"Ryo's duels are rational and calculated. Judai's current deck is full of aggression, so he would never use Electronic End Dragon so simply."

Kiyomi smiled and said: "Summon a defensive monster in advance, then hold back after attacking, build up power, and win in the end—that's Ryo."

As if responding to Kiyomi's words, Ryo Fujiki drew a card.

"Normal Summon, Electronic Core Dragon!" He revealed the monster card.

It was a miniature electronic dragon, its body wrapped in mechanical blood vessels used for testing, appearing extremely tiny.

Electronic Core Dragon, Level 1, Light Attribute, Machine Type, ATK 100.

"When this card's name is on the field or in the graveyard, treat it as 【Electronic Dragon】. Next, Spell Card—Mechanical Replication!" He revealed a new Spell Card from his hand, "Mechanical Replication's effect: Select one Machine-type monster with ATK 500 or less on your field, and Special Summon up to two copies of that monster from your deck!"

"Huh?" Wan Wan Zhangmu blurted out upon seeing it, "Its name right now is..."

"Electronic Dragon!"

Kaiser roared: "I Special Summon two Electronic Dragons from my deck!"

Hum—hum—

The phantom image of Electronic Core Dragon replicated on the field, then the two phantoms suddenly expanded into brand-new machines!

Electronic Dragon, Level 5, Light Attribute, Machine Type, ATK 2100!

"Three Electronic Dragons on the field!" Winged Man appeared beside Judai, nervously saying, "Here it comes, Judai!"

"Spell Card, Fusion!" Ryo Fujiki swiftly played a Spell Card from his hand, "Fusion the three Electronic Dragons on the field!"

"Huhuhu—One dish, yoh!"

"Electronic End Dragon!"

The three mechanical dragons circled each other, finally merging into a massive, three-headed mechanical flying dragon!

Electronic End Dragon, Level 10, Light Attribute, Machine Type, ATK 4000!

"Wow..." Ryo Shou was excitedly staring at the giant dragon.

"So, Ryo still uses Electronic End Dragon after all."

"But why not use Fusion Gate's effect? That would save a Fusion card."

"Simple," Tenjo Hikari interrupted their discussion, "Because Kaiser doesn't want monsters sent to the banished zone—he wants to recover cards from the graveyard."

"Huh?"

Soon, their confusion was answered.

"Electronic Core Dragon's effect: When this card is sent to the graveyard, I can add one Electronic Dragon from my deck or graveyard to my hand—I add the last Electronic Dragon from my deck to my hand!"

"Now, attack, Judai!" Kaiser looked at his opponent with a smile, "Attack with Electronic End Dragon!"

"Eternal Evolution Flame!"

The three-headed dragon gathered energy, then unleashed a torrent of flame that shattered the shining hero.

Judai LP: 4000 → 3200.

"At this moment, Flash Knight's effect! When this card is sent to the graveyard, I can return up to two banished Elemental Hero monsters to my hand—I add Bubbleman and Lightning Knight to my hand!"

"Interesting, Judai!" Kaiser laughed upon seeing Judai's move, "So that's how you've reassembled your other Fusion materials?"

"Then, attack with Electronic Barrier Dragon!"

Zzz—A beam of light reflected from a mirror struck Judai's abdomen.

Judai LP: 3200 → 2400.

"Amazing! Of course, Kaiser is incredible!" Judai, clutching his "wound," exclaimed excitedly.

"Heh... Cover one card, end my turn." Kaiser chuckled upon hearing Judai's words and covered one card from his hand.

Judai's turn—he drew a card. Beside him, Bubbleman, whose color could cosplay Batman, appeared and said, "Judai, now it's my turn!"

"Bubbleman—Alright, then!"

"My turn, draw. I activate the effect of the Field Spell Card on the field, Fusion Gate: I fuse Lightning Knight and Bubbleman from my hand again!"

"Oh! Same Fusion materials again—what are you fusing this time?" Kaiser's face showed interest as he watched Judai perform the Fusion.

"Fusion condition: 【Hero】 and a Water-type monster!"

Don't blink, Kaiser!

This hero will send chills down your spine!

Fusion Summon—

Elemental Hero Absolute Zero Hero!

As Judai called out, a cold wind swept across the Duel Field. Asuka instinctively pulled her clothes tighter; frost appeared across the entire field, and ice seemed to crystallize in the air.

A white hero, cape fluttering, descended from the sky, striking a classic "Hero Arrival" pose.

Elemental Hero Absolute Zero Hero, Level 8, Water Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 2500.

Tenjo Hikari, upon seeing this card, sat up straight and immediately examined the 3D image of Absolute Zero Hero.

Nearby friends, seeing Hikari sit upright to watch, realized at once—this was no ordinary Fusion monster!

After all, even Hikari was this excited!

"Elemental Hero Absolute Zero Hero?" Kaiser looked at the card on Judai's field and smiled faintly, "It seems Judai, you've grown too. But with only 2500 ATK, you're no match for Electronic End Dragon."

"Ah, but Absolute Zero Hero's effect isn't that simple!"

Judai swiftly revealed a monster from his hand: "It's time! One of my favorite cards!"

"Fusion Absolute Zero Hero with Bubblegirl in my hand!"

"Fusion condition: Elemental Hero monster and Fire-type monster!"

"I fuse Elemental Hero Absolute Zero Hero with Bubblegirl from my hand!"

"Huh?" The audience gasped at his move, "Why banish the monster you just Fusion Summoned?"

"Fusion Summon—Flame Rising Hero! Elemental Hero Nova Master!"

Amidst flames, a hero clasped his hands to his chest, leaped forward, and landed before Judai.

Elemental Hero Nova Master, Level 8, Fire Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 2600.

"Exchange a 2500 ATK monster for a 2600 ATK monster?"

"It's only 100 points higher—what difference does that make against Electronic End Dragon?"

Some students were confused.

"Don't rush," Hikari said, noticing his friends looking at him, "That card is about to show its true power."

That card?

"At this moment, activate the effect of the banished Absolute Zero Hero."

"Oh?"

Judai excitedly raised his hand—the Duel Field, which had just ignited from Nova Master's appearance, suddenly froze again, the entire area cooling once more.

"Absolute Zero Hero's effect! When this card leaves the field, destroy all monster cards on your opponent's field!!"

"What!!!???"

"Destroy all monsters?"

"Just by leaving the field???"

"This, wow—"

Frost descended; all of Ryo Fujiki's monsters were covered in ice, soon turning into pure ice crystals, completely losing all function.

"So... so powerful," Wan Wan Zhangmu stared wide-eyed.

"Just leaving the field means the effect triggers whether through battle, sending to the graveyard, or self-Fusion..." Sanzawa Daichi said in astonishment, "How can there be such an easy-to-trigger effect..."

"Fascinating—indeed, this graduation duel was the right choice." Seeing his monsters instantly wiped out—including his trump card monster, Electronic End Dragon—Ryo Fujiki's face lit up with excitement, "Excellent, Judai."

"Hahaha~" Judai extended one finger and lightly brushed his lips, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Lately, I've noticed you've been distracted. I wanted to see what was wrong during this duel. Now I'm reassured—" Ryo Fujiki's smile remained unchanged, clearly satisfied.

"With this, I can leave this school and head to new horizons with peace of mind."

Yet—

Unexpectedly, Judai, who had been happily smiling, froze upon hearing those words.

His hand, poised to attack, suddenly stiffened.

Chapter Two: I'll finish this duel in one go today;

Earlier, I realized I'd earned the Premium Badge. Though I've dropped to 11th on the New Book Monthly Ticket Chart by month's end due to several top-tier authors, this result far exceeds my initial expectations—I never imagined it would reach this high. I'm truly grateful for everyone's support; your backing has given me more motivation and passion. Thank you so much.
