Chapter 493: Power is Justice

"The effect of Shi Laimu Hole, the successfully Special Summoned monster is directly destroyed!"

The Supreme King's words fell sharply, and Jaden's Thunder Giant immediately stumbled into the void. Below, countless slimes turned into pairs of demon claws and grabbed it, dragging its body and pulling Thunder Giant down fiercely.

Thunder Giant struggled hard, but finally disappeared in the embrace of countless slimes in the cave, exploding into pieces with a boom.

"And I recover 2400 points of Life Points equal to the ATK of 'Elemental HERO Thunder Giant'," the Supreme King said. 【49

【Supreme King, LP 800 → LP 3200】

Not only did the revival of Elemental HERO Thunder Giant fail, but it even went on to restore the opponent's Life Points. Judai couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Do you understand now? Your so-called persistence as a hero is meaningless in the face of power," the Supreme King said. "Now that these twelve worlds have all submitted to me, I am the rules, I am the only justice.

If you insist on resisting, then let the King himself bring down the sanction!

Evil HERO Lightning Golem, direct attack!"

Dark lightning gathered in the hands of Lightning Golem, transforming into an endless, raging torrent that surged forward, exploding against Judai with a crackling sound.

The heart-wrenching, excruciating pain felt as if his body were being pierced by dark lightning. For an instant, Judai felt his body become as light as a feather, blown into the air by a whirlwind, spinning lightly several times, only to feel as if it had become a thousand times heavier the moment he crashed back to the ground.

【Judai, LP 3700 → LP 1300】

"Your struggle only makes the process more painful," the Supreme King said coldly. "You might be delusional enough to think you will become a hero, that you will be the savior of this world.

But unfortunately, that is not the case; you are actually the cancer of this world.

Because I have said it before, I am justice. Without power, whatever you think or do is wrong; even if you want to protect, you will only keep losing, and even if you want to believe, you will only be betrayed again and again."

The cold King looked at his right hand and narrowed his eyes.

"The only thing that can be trusted, the only thing that will not betray, is power alone. Possessing power, you can become justice itself."

"That's not how it is."

Judai, knocked to the ground, pressed his palms against the floor, ignoring the wailing of his skeleton that felt like it was about to fall apart, ignoring the black smoke rising from his body, and slowly stood up again.

"It is precisely what I believe in, what I want to protect, that has given me power. Power that is needed by others, power that is longed for by others—it is different from your hollow power."

"Is that so?" the Supreme King said indifferently. "Since that is the case, try to defeat me to prove the reality of your so-called power."

As he spoke, he drew another card from his hand.

"I set one card face-down, turn end."

"Just as you wish, I will let you see—"

Judai lowered his head to look at his deck.

"My deck that I trust at all times, my heroes that I trust.

My turn, draw!"

Judai revealed the card he drew.

"Spell card 'Card of Adversity.' When the opponent has a Special Summoned monster on their field and I have no monsters on my field, I draw two cards from my deck!" (Original card)

Judai drew two cards.

"Then I activate the Spell card 'Contact Conversion'!" Judai said. "When there are no monsters on my field, I choose one 'Neo-Spacian' card from my hand and one from my deck to send to the Graveyard, then draw two cards from my deck!"

He chose one Neo-Spacian from his hand and one from his deck, displayed them, and sent them to the Graveyard in sequence.

"Sending 'Neo-Spacian Dark Panther' and 'Neo-Spacian Glow Moss' to the Graveyard, I draw two cards."

"Neo-Spacian?" The Supreme King frowned slightly.

It was no longer the Elemental HEROes that stood in opposition to his Evil HEROes, but some kind of power he was more unfamiliar with. "That's right, they are my irreplaceable friends from the universe!" Judai said. "Next, I activate the Spell card 'Cocoon Party'!

Based on the number of different 'Neo-Spacian' monsters in my Graveyard, for each type, I can Special Summon one monster with 'Cocoon' in its name from my deck!"

Two golden lights flew out from Judai's deck.

"Appear, 'Cocoon Dolphin'!

'Cocoon Mole'!"

Appearing were two small dolphins and moles hiding in cocoons, looking like chibi versions, their appearance quite cute.

Cocoons are the auxiliary slots for Neo-Spacians, and the monster settings are all in the form of Neo-Spacian infancy. The young Cocoons evolved after coming into contact with mysterious dark waves in Neos Space, only then growing into the adult Neo-Spacian HERO forms.

【Cocoon Dolphin, DEF 600】

【Cocoon Mole, DEF 100】

Supreme King: "What can such weak things do?"

Judai ignored him: "I activate the Field Spell 'Neos Space'!"

The new field was activated, and the gloomy Supreme King's castle space was suddenly filled with colorful light, like a sacred domain constructed of aurora.

"Cocoons evolve after coming into contact with mysterious power in Neos Space!" Judai said. "Cocoon Dolphin, Cocoon Mole, effect activate!

When 'Neos Space' is on the field, by Tributing themselves, I can Special Summon the corresponding Neo-Spacians from my hand or deck.

I Tribute Cocoon Dolphin and Cocoon Mole! From the far end of the galaxy, accept the waves of evolution and appear—

Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin!

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole!"

The two Neo-Spacians Judai had been most fond of lately flew out from the deck, landing on Judai's left and right sides respectively.

【Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, ATK 600】

【Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, ATK 900】

"Then I Normal Summon 'Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird'."

Pure white wings spread out, and the red hummingbird circled twice in the air, landing beside Judai with hands on its hips, looking confident.

【Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird, ATK 800】

"First is Air Hummingbird's effect. Once per turn, I gain 500 Life Points for each card in the opponent's hand!" Judai said.

The Supreme King said indifferently: "I have two cards in my hand."

"Then I gain 1000 Life Points!"

A giant flower bloomed from the only card in the Supreme King's hand; the hummingbird flew over that card and pecked at it, and golden light was immediately absorbed along its body, flowing into Judai.

【Judai, LP 1300 → LP 2300】

"Then I activate the Spell card 'Neo-Spacian Gift'!" Judai said. "Based on the number of 'Neo-Spacians' on my field, I can draw one card from my deck for each type.

I have three different Neo-Spacians on my field, so I draw three cards from my deck!"

Judai drew three cards, then raised his eyes, his gaze still firm.

"Now I'll show you the strength of my Neo-Spacian friends!"
