Chapter 185: About the Hero of the Otherworld, Yu City Judai

Judai silently watched his opponent.

A faint glimmer of gold flashed in his eyes, but it vanished quickly.

In fact.

He was no longer angry.

Because he knew the opponent was not worth his anger.

He was instead recalling recent events.

Is everyone born with their own place?

If you really want to put it that way, then he was born a "villain"!

Since childhood, countless children had suffered strange injuries—or even fallen unconscious—because of him; he was a person who brought pain!

He was a born "calamity."

But—

Until now, he had escaped that pain through his own strength, gained many good friends, who supported him in return, even in the Otherworld, standing by him, even willingly taking injuries to protect him…

Yes.

He wasn't angry—he had just remembered again how Sanze had been hurt because of him.

That voice back then was definitely not an illusion.

He wasn't a born hero, but perhaps he was born to attract "evil"; to others, he was truly a "born villain."

Now it seemed that the "evil" he had once abandoned into the Otherworld was about to find him again and continue tormenting his friends.

Just as this guy said, he couldn't bring heroes or justice—he'd spent these past few days watching the Satellite District people suffer under the Upper District police, wanting to stop them, but even if he defeated one officer, the officer would only bow and grit his teeth in apology, then likely retaliate worse against others where he couldn't see—

Was he really doing useless work?

He recalled the past two days: when he'd first idly wandered around challenging people to duels, Tenjo Hikari had been tinkering with something alongside Yousei and the others; Hikari even shared items he received from Kaiba Corp with friends and even strangers in the Satellite District.

Whether food or other things.

Hikari had his own understanding and thoughts; he seemed to fully trust Yousei, agreeing with much of what Yousei said, telling him that meeting Yousei might be the greatest treasure of their journey to the Otherworld.

Back then, he'd just rushed in out of Rexue, but—that joy and passion weren't fake.

Heroes are absolutely not fake!

"I don't use heroes just because they're cool!"

Even if he couldn't help the people of this world or change their situation, as long as duels brought more people joy or even hope, that was enough!

Judai suddenly smiled: "You said… position?"

"You're a police officer, Mr. Rio!"

"Of course, isn't it obvious at a glance? Can't you even see that?"

"Hehe, opposing the police, doing what they can't—that's the dedication of a 【Vigilante】!" He smiled again. "Sorry, Mr. Rio—I was born to do the opposite!"

Rio frowned.

"Hikari, let me use your favorite line today—

Last turn!!"

Nearby, MC, hearing Judai's declaration, shouted into the mic in shock: "Wh-what?! What did I just hear, viewers? The Otherworld's Judai has declared victory already? At this point—fourth turn?! Rio's clearly in the lead!

Last turn? Is that even possible!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Rio didn't believe it. "How are you going to win over my field and my face-down cards?!"

"Hehe, then, everyone watching—please watch closely—my turn, draw!"

Judai drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and slapped it onto the field: "Normal Summon, Elemental Hero Sky Glaive!"

Elemental Hero Sky Glaive, Level 4, Wind Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 1800.

The hero of the gale appeared brilliantly; Tenjo Hikari beside him couldn't help but freeze.

You didn't have this card before, did you?

If you had, Hikari would've already tried to trade several powerful fusion cards for it—there's no reason not to.

Sneaking around printing cards and not telling your brother!

And—this one was printed right now!

"When this card is summoned or special summoned, you can activate its monster effect: add one 【Hero】 monster card from your deck to your hand, or destroy a number of your own 【Hero】 spell/trap cards equal to the number of 【Hero】 monsters on your field!"

He glanced at his opponent and pointed at the face-down card: "I destroy your face-down card!"

The face-down card flipped up—it was Explosion Armor. He must've planned to destroy Judai's powerful monster, but since Sky Glaive destroyed it, it had no effect and didn't activate.

"Damn it, even so, my field…" Rio was still speaking.

"Next, activate Spell Card—Double Fusion!" Judai revealed a spell card depicting two fusion circles. "Pay 500 LP—this turn, I can use fusion twice!"

Heroist, Judai: 2800 → 2300 LP.

Tenjo Hikari, seeing this card, couldn't help but stroke his chin, pondering.

Honestly, this card is quite weak—it only allows two fusions.

But—compared to its real-card version, this one is explosively stronger. After all, the real-card Double Fusion doesn't let you choose when to fuse; to fuse twice, you must do it all at once.

"I fuse Bubbleman on the field with Blazing Girl in my hand—Fusion Summon—Elemental Hero Absolute Zero!"

He waved his hand, and a snow-white hero clad in a cloak leapt onto the field.

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

"ATK only 2500? That won't beat Guardian of the Throne—"

Judai smiled lightly, then turned to face all the cameras pointed at him, awkwardly waving his arms twice, mimicking a pose, then turned back and said: "Heroes never flee, even in the most dangerous situations—they work together and win!

And in such dire circumstances, heroes always unleash even greater power!"

"Eh?" MC was stunned.

Are you stealing my job?

But… somehow, it actually looked cool!

"Fuse Absolute Zero on the field with Wingman in my hand!"

"What?!" MC rushed to Jieshuo: "He's immediately using his hard-won Wangpai monster as fusion material! What is Judai trying to do?!"

"Fusion condition: Elemental Hero and Wind Attribute monster!"

"Come on, my beloved hero—Level 8, Elemental Hero Tornado!"

Elemental Hero Tornado, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 2800.

Wingman's body was wrapped in layer upon layer of armor; he flung his arms, his cloak whipping in the gale, glancing coldly at his opponent.

Judai might not care, might have lost all interest in Rio—but this "little brother" of his? After this, he'd kick this kid hard—no mercy.

Since returning from the Warrior Realm to Judai's side, he'd made up his mind: he'd go all out. If even 【It】 dared make Judai suffer, 【It】 would make the offender pay.

"ATK is the same as Guardian of the Throne—but how will you win?"

"Sorry, the duel is over."

"!?!"

"When Absolute Zero leaves the field, you can activate its effect: destroy all monsters on your opponent's field! Vanish, corrupt police officer—return to me, my heroes!"

A cold wind howled, snow fell; the sturdy warrior instantly turned to ice, then shattered into powder after a sudden gale.

In an instant, Rio's field was completely empty!

For some reason, he felt his own body grow cold, as if frost had coated his skin.

"H-How incredible an effect!!!!" The weather turned icy; MC shivered as he spoke, yet kept shouting: "In an instant, all of Rio's monsters were destroyed—even the stolen heroes turned into dazzling ice statues, remaining as symbols of heroism on the field!"

"What now, Rio? You're completely cornered! Is there any way out? Can you think of a counter?!"

"This—how could this be—I'm just a duelist who tied with a Satellite District guy! I'm a genius cop from the Security Bureau—how could I—" Rio couldn't accept this result at all.

But his hand had no cards that could help in this situation—he had only one outcome!

"Battle—Sky Glaive, direct attack—"

Security Officer Rio: 4000 → 2200 LP.

"Then—Tornado's direct attack!"

Judai wanted to shout Tornado's flashy move—but Tornado had already dashed forward, kicked Rio in the chest, and sent him flying over ten meters until he crashed into the fence, groaning as he fell back from the recoil.

So painful!

Judai stared at the scene, puzzled, then burst into laughter, dismissing it. He extended two fingers of his right hand, lightly flicking toward his opponent.

"Won. What an interesting duel!"

Even though he didn't "go all out," yet—

Hearing this, Rio—who was already confused and doubting himself—fainted instantly from unbearable pain and bone-chilling cold.
