Chapter 313

"My turn, draw card."

Jaden drew a card and looked carefully at the 6 cards in his hand.

Although he still dueled by instinct, the current him had been "tempered" and would no longer hit the first card he saw directly. Moreover, before the formal duel, he indeed had something to say.

He looked at the cards in his hand and sighed: "Thinking back to the first double duel, it feels like it was just yesterday."

In that double duel that felt like fate, guiding him and Hikari Tenjou to their respective "paths," it felt like a videotape playing again before his eyes.

"How come you suddenly sighed about life, Jaden, this doesn't look like you at all.", "Didn't you say you are super strong now? Sighing about life doesn't look like being super strong at all."

"Ah, hahaha—" Jaden scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly twice, then became serious, changing his past style, "No, perhaps, now like this, is the real me..."

Hikari Tenjou heard this and couldn't help but open his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"However—no matter what, there is one thing that is not wrong.

That is, Hikari, the current me, is super strong!"

His face revealed excitement: "If you are not careful, you might lose instantly!"

"What are you talking about? Are you still fighting or not!" Chazz's second brother shouted.

"These two young people are just sighing about life." Para opened his mouth.

"Humph, it seems that this kid has encountered the [Labyrinth] of his own life." Dox added.

Chazz frowned, listening to Jaden's words, always feeling that something strange and dangerous was about to happen.

Could only hope it was his illusion.

"Alright, I go first—" Jaden knew that sighing a sentence or two was enough, no need to dwell on it for so long in the duel, and came up to show his [Ace of Aces], "Normal summon, Elemental HERO Bubbleman!"

The classic blue Batman swung his cape and appeared brilliantly.

Although the deck changed a lot, one thing wouldn't change.

That is to summon Bubbleman on an empty field!

"HERO deck?"

"Rotten deck."

Is it actually a HERO deck?

Ruri was somewhat surprised.

Even in her world, it was an old deck. She didn't expect the deck Hikari Tenjou's companion used was actually this one.

"When Bubbleman appears, in the case of no other cards on my field, I draw two cards." He drew two cards from the deck, then flipped over a hand card, "Immediately after, I activate the magic card, EN Shuffle!"

"Return 1 Elemental HERO or Neo-Spacian monster on my field to the owner's deck, and special summon an Elemental HERO or Neo-Spacian monster with a different card name from the deck.

I return Bubbleman on the field to the deck, special summon, Elemental HERO Stratos!"

The classic Stratos opened his wings rotating with fierce wind and appeared brilliantly.

Elemental HERO Stratos, Level 4, Wind attribute, Warrior type, Attack 1800.

"When Stratos is summoned/special summoned, I can add a HERO card from the deck to my hand. I add Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier to my hand."

Don't say—

Hikari Tenjou nodded on the side.

Jaden's kind of special Bubbleman opening was much more comfortable than A Hero Lives to deduct half the blood to summon Stratos.

After getting Liquid Soldier, Jaden laughed and picked up Polymerization: "This HERO will make everyone's spine chill—"

Accompanied by his declaration, white cold air permeated the entire dueling field, and the audience couldn't help but pull their clothes.

Stratos on the field and Liquid Soldier in Jaden's hand started to mix, and finally, turned into a clean white HERO like frost.

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 8, Elemental HERO Absolute Zero."

Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, Level 8, Water attribute, Warrior type, Attack 2500.

"Oh!"

"Such a handsome monster—"

After Absolute Zero appeared, even some people who were not interested in HERO would be conquered by its appearance.

"When Liquid Soldier is sent to the graveyard or banished as a fusion material for a HERO, activate. Draw two cards. After that, select 1 hand card and discard it."

Jaden drew two cards, looked down, and sent one of them to the graveyard.

"Magic card, Neos Fusion, send the fusion materials in the deck to the graveyard, and special summon 1 fusion monster that only uses [Neos] monsters as fusion materials from the extra deck, ignoring summoning conditions. After this card is activated, I cannot special summon until the end of the turn.

I send Neos in the deck and Elemental HERO Shadow Mist in the deck to the graveyard.

Special summon, Elemental HERO Brave Neos!"

Neos rotated his body and jumped out of Jaden's deck, then posed a knight kick, looking quite imposing.

Elemental HERO Brave Neos, Level 7, Light attribute, Warrior type, Attack 2500.

"Brave Neos's attack power increases by 100 for each Neo-Spacian monster and HERO monster in the graveyard. I have in the graveyard..." Jaden picked up a few cards.

Stratos, Liquid Soldier, Neos, Shadow Mist, and a discarded HERO, totaling 5 cards.

Elemental HERO Brave Neos, atk: 2500→3000.

"Not only that, Shadow Mist's effect, when this card is sent to the graveyard, add 1 HERO card other than Shadow Mist from the deck to the hand. I add Elemental HERO Solid Soldier to my hand."

Although not quite right, I have to say, Jaden's cards now, compared to the "HERO deck" before Hikari Tenjou came to this world, didn't seem to lack any core.

Shadow Mist was here.

"Cover two cards, end turn."

After Jaden covered the cards, he smiled at Hikari Tenjou, seemingly asking if he was strong now.

"So strong, two tribute monsters appeared so simply." Some onlookers saw this scene and couldn't help but marvel.

"Tsk, sure enough, Chazz couldn't find a student to make up the numbers for no reason... can't underestimate." Chazz's second brother also put away his previous fluke mentality.

"Heh, is it over already?"

"One 2500, one 3000, in the past, it was indeed called an iron wall, but now for us, it doesn't count for anything."

The Paradox Brothers said with slight provocation.

Hikari Tenjou looked at Jaden's covered cards, slightly surprised, then he continued to check the situation in the graveyard, and then was even more surprised.

What is this?

Haven't seen it—

He quickly scanned the effects of the cards, and at this time, it was the Paradox Brothers' turn.

"My turn, draw card—"

Para drew a card and sneered: "Activate normal magic card, Terraforming."

Wow.

Hikari Tenjou saw this card and nodded gently.

If he could play this card, he would definitely put several in the deck, whether it was to search for Dreamland or search for Fusion Recycling Plant, it was a very good choice.

"Terraforming's effect, can add a field magic card from the deck to the hand."

"Field magic card?" Jaden was quite surprised, "Never heard of the Gate Guardian series having field magic cards—"

"Hehehe, this is the power we brothers obtained after cultivation."

Actually, it was the two of them collecting and supplementing brand-new cards in various dimensions through big money and cooperation with various companies.

"I add Labyrinth Wall Shadow to my hand!"

The two brothers looked at each other, nodded, and then, Para held the card in his hand high and shouted: "Witness it, this is the labyrinth composed of the confusion and bewilderment in your hearts!

Activate field magic card, Labyrinth Wall Shadow!"

Boom boom boom—

Accompanied by his activation, countless walls emerged on the dueling field, gradually shrouding the entire scene.

In a short while, Hikari Tenjou found that many labyrinth walls had risen beside him, completely unable to see Jaden, and only "Dox" was left looking at him with a sneer.

Hikari Tenjou frowned slightly, shouted to the side, and found that Jaden didn't reply.

It seemed that this "Labyrinth" directly isolated the communication between the two.

The knowledge of double dueling was indeed a lot. In this world, the Paradox Brothers were worthy of being famous double duelists, even being able to do this kind of thing.

The audience watching the battle had the broadcast machine provided by the Kaiba Corporation, so they could see the duelists aimed at by each camera. Serena and Ruri saw that Hikari Tenjou in the picture just tried a little bit and didn't dwell on it anymore, looking very calm, so they didn't worry too much, while other audiences were surprised and unexpected in this novel "duel."

Different from previous duels—

"Labyrinth Wall Shadow's effect, once per turn, activate during your main phase. Select 1 of [Sanga of the Thunder], [Kazejin], [Suijin] from your hand/deck/banished state and place it as a continuous magic card in your magic and trap zone.

I place Sanga of the Thunder in the deck as a continuous magic card in my magic trap zone."

A huge creature with the word "Thunder" written on it floated above the labyrinth, examining the people in the labyrinth.

"Oh! Directly searching for Sanga of the Thunder from the deck in this way? Truly a brand-new tactic!" Jaden was somewhat excited.

Hikari Tenjou listened to the voice, guessing it should be that only the voices of the duelists in the dueling turn could spread outside the labyrinth.

So that's how it is.

Because the Paradox Brothers as twin duelists were heart-to-heart, they were better at cooperation and collaboration than the Amazoness sisters, so even if they couldn't pass the voice, they could know what the other party wanted to do in the duel, so they didn't worry about the voice not being able to spread at all.

And because of the labyrinth, the voices of their opponents couldn't be transmitted to each other, so it was possible that the cooperation was not perfect.

The situation was probably like this?

"Humph humph humph, it's not over yet, Jaden—" Para, although he lost to Jaden before, didn't hold a grudge, just wanted to prove himself, "This card can be summoned without tribute.

Normal summon, Labyrinth Heavy Tank!"

"Eh!?"

A blue small car rotating its drill rushed out from the depths of the labyrinth. Jaden exclaimed immediately upon seeing this monster for the first time.

Labyrinth Heavy Tank, Level 7, Dark attribute, Machine type, Attack 2400.

"Oh, isn't this the Labyrinth Tank you especially like? This card can actually evolve too." Tierra's eyes lit up, "Should hurry up and try it?"

She was interested.

"A 7-star tank that can be summoned directly without tribute? This feels much more convenient than the fusion tank—" Jaden was obviously also very familiar with this monster.

"Humph humph, not only that, Labyrinth Heavy Tank's effect, activate during your main phase. Select 1 of the three magic gods from your hand/deck/banished state and place it as a continuous magic card on your field. What I choose is... Suijin!"

A huge chin, a monster with the word "Water" written on its head, stepped on the labyrinth with a rumble and appeared before everyone.

"Not only that, when Labyrinth Wall Shadow exists on the field, Labyrinth Heavy Tank can destroy 1 monster on the opponent's field after placing the magic god!"

"Disappear, Brave Neos!"

"Don't think about it—Neos Fusion in the graveyard can destroy the fusion monster that uses Neos as fusion material by banishing it instead!"

"Oh, there is such an effect—" Para was slightly surprised.

"It's not over yet!" Jaden saw the other party's operation end and suddenly opened the covered card, "Although I don't know why you placed the magic gods as continuous magic cards, as long as you destroy them, it's fine!"

Jaden decisively opened the covered card: "Quick-play magic card! Mask Change!"

"What, is it actually Mask Change?"

"That's right—Mask Change's effect, target 1 HERO monster on the field. Confirm that monster's attribute and send it to the graveyard. Then special summon 1 [Masked HERO] with the same attribute from the extra deck!

I send Elemental HERO Absolute Zero on the field to the graveyard, special summon!

Masked HERO Acid!"

Coming!

Hikari Tenjou saw this scene, and his eyes lit up.

Although old, it was classic!

Cold ice swept through the entire labyrinth, and strange acid gradually covered the entire labyrinth. The walls started to dissolve, as if everything started to dissolve. This was the appearance of that Masked HERO!

Masked HERO Acid, Level 8, Water attribute, Warrior type, Attack 2600.

"Masked HERO Acid's effect, activate when this card is special summoned. Destroy all magic/trap cards on the opponent's field, and the attack power of monsters on the opponent's field decreases by 300.

Then—Elemental HERO Absolute Zero's effect, when this card leaves the field, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"

"What?"

"Doesn't that mean destroying all cards on the field?"

"Actually, actually so powerful?"

This time, the onlookers finally realized that this teammate of Hikari Tenjou was definitely not someone Chazz found casually. Rather, since he dared to let him team up with Hikari Tenjou, how could this student be weak?

It was just that he didn't show his face!

Chazz's second brother saw this and took a deep breath.

The labyrinth started to dissipate, and all the cards on Para's field were either dissolved or frozen, looking quite miserable.

Just when he was sweating for the Paradox Brothers, he found that the Paradox Brothers didn't have half a timidity, but laughed instead.

"Destroying magic and monsters at the same time? Jaden, it seems that after that dormitory duel, you have also become much stronger—however, don't think that we have been sticking to the old ways." The Paradox Brothers suddenly reached out, crossed, and shouted, "We brothers are [Invincible]!"

"Jaden kid, this set of tactics of yours doesn't look like your past tactics!"

"It seems that you are still in the [Labyrinth] of your heart—"

"Just like now!"

"Field magic card, Labyrinth Wall Shadow!"

What!?

Second one!

Jaden didn't expect this scene at all.

Even Hikari Tenjou was startled.

Pulling it out like this?!

"Labyrinth Wall Shadow's effect, there is no limit of once per turn for the card name, so the effect of the second Labyrinth Wall Shadow can still be activated. I place the last [Kazejin] in the deck as a continuous magic card on my field." Accompanied by Para explaining the effect, the labyrinth rose again, and a huge labyrinth wall appeared between Hikari Tenjou and Jaden again.

"Collected three?"

"But, there are two in the graveyard, and there is no way to special summon Gate Guardian, right?"

"Moreover, Kazejin is also a continuous magic card now, should have no way to use it?"

As legendary duelists, the cards of the Paradox Brothers, most of the audience were relatively familiar with.

But—

"Hehehehe, naive!" The Paradox Brothers shouted at the same time, "Banish Sanga of the Thunder and Suijin in the graveyard, and Kazejin on the field!

Special summon from the extra deck!"

The two people posed in mirror images.

"Gate Guardian of the Thunder and Wind!"

Three monsters flew up from the graveyard and the field. Thunder became the head, water became the limbs, and wind was the connection point in the middle. The three monsters combined together and roared at the same time, with extraordinary momentum, making Hikari Tenjou and the two in the labyrinth feel like they were facing a judge.

Thunder, storm, water flow, multiple factors rolled in the labyrinth, making Hikari Tenjou and Jaden's clothes sway in the fierce wind, having to support themselves with their hands in front.

Gate Guardian of the Thunder and Wind, Level 12, Dark attribute, Warrior type, Attack 3750!

Hikari Tenjou frowned.

This monster was a bit difficult to deal with.
