Chapter 702

The Wicked God's strike shattered Chaos Neos like dry wood, and the residual shockwave forced Judai to stumble backward involuntarily. He knelt halfway on the ground, leaning on his knees and breathing heavily, the rolling black smoke gradually dissipating from his body.

Judai panted heavily for a moment before regaining his strength. "Because... the face-down card 'Damage Diet' was activated during the attack declaration, the number of cards on my field decreased by one during damage calculation.

The number of cards on my field is five, so during the damage calculation step, The Wicked Avatar's ATK also drops to 5,000."

【The Wicked Avatar, ATK 6000 → ATK 5000】

"When Chaos Neos was destroyed, its ATK was 3,500, so the battle damage is 1,500. Plus the effect of 'Damage Diet' halving battle damage, the damage I take becomes 750."

【Judai, LP 1500 → LP 750】

"Truly tenacious."

Yubel snorted, but revealed a faint smile.

"Well, I don't dislike a tenacious Judai."

She set another card from her hand to the back row.

"I set one more face-down card in the back row. My turn ends."

Judai's panting ceased, but he remained kneeling on the ground without getting up.

"So strong... Just as You Xuan said, Yubel obtained extra power in the universe. Plus, the Wicked God is indeed not an opponent one can win against while holding back."

Judai weighed his options briefly, and his mind was made up.

Yes, there was nothing to hesitate about. He had already decided long ago: the next time he saw Yubel, he would bring her back at any cost.

He had to go all out.

Even if it meant having to plunge into darkness.

Judai closed his eyes gently.

Judai: "Hey? Are you there?"

"..."

Judai: "I know you can hear me. Stop sleeping."

"..."

In a consciousness space that felt like darkness, a pair of golden eyes that seemed to be burning slowly opened.

"What do you want?"

A cold voice asked.

Judai said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I need your help."

The voice said: "You're joking."

Judai said: "How could I be? I am currently in a crucial duel, and my opponent was once my most important friend. But now she has been hijacked by evil power. To help her break free from control, I need your power."

The voice said: "Are you crazy? The only reason I am here is because I was careless in a previous duel and was ambushed by you. You want my power, and I want your body. Once you let your guard down, I will take your body, your life, and everything you have again."

Judai laughed instead: "If you really wanted that, you've been in my body for so long, why have you never made a move?"

"..."

Judai suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I am you, and you are me, Supreme King. Perhaps I still can't fully understand you, but I trust you."

Supreme King: "..."

Trust?

A moment of silence. Afterward, Judai slowly stood up. He opened his eyes, and beneath his eyelids were that pair of burning golden eyes.

"Thank you, the other me inside me," Judai smiled.

The Supreme King's cold voice rang in his ears: "Don't misunderstand. I wasn't moved by your naive words. I just want to see how much ability this guy has to dare call itself a Wicked God."

"Ahaha, if you say so, then so be it."

Judai smiled, then immediately became serious.

"Then let's go, other me."

The Supreme King said coldly: "Don't call me that. We aren't that close."

Yubel also noticed the change in the opponent's aura, and her expression changed slightly: "Those eyes, this power... Supreme King?"

A part of her heart was both shocked and delighted. The shock was naturally that Judai had awakened and even appeared to be able to freely master the power of the Supreme King, which would likely make him even harder to deal with. The delight was that Judai's image was increasingly overlapping with the Prince from her past life, making her increasingly overjoyed.

"My turn, draw."

With the power of the Supreme King added, Judai's momentum instantly surged to another level; even his draw felt like it carried a gust of wind.

Not a single error in the content, read it all at once!

"I activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity.' Both players draw until they have six cards in their hand."

Judai drew again and immediately played the cards in his hand. The Spell Card reappeared in the back row, and a massive dark cyclone erupted from the card's projection.

"Spell Card 'Dark Fusion'!" Judai said. "A Fusion Spell exclusively for Fiend-type monsters. I send Fusion Material monsters from my hand and field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon of a Fiend-type Fusion Monster.

I send 'Magnet Warrior Valkyrion the Magna Warrior' and 'Evil HERO Malicious Edge' from my hand to the Graveyard to perform a Dark Fusion Summon!"

The Rock-type Magnet Warrior and the Fiend-type Malicious Edge were both briefly projected onto the field, but were immediately sucked into a dark vortex, as if thrown into a giant blender. A surging dark power was born from the vortex, turning into a fierce bolt of lightning that struck the ground, bringing forth a majestic white demon.

Evil HERO Dark Gaia, Fusion Summon!

【Evil HERO Dark Gaia, ATK?】

"The ATK of Evil HERO Dark Gaia becomes the sum of the ATK of the Fusion Material monsters," Judai said. "Magnet Warrior Valkyrion's ATK is 3,500, and Evil HERO Malicious Edge's ATK is 2,600.

Therefore, Dark Gaia's ATK becomes..."

【Evil HERO Dark Gaia, ATK 6100】

Yubel's expression changed: "6,100 ATK?"

At this moment, Judai still had three Ojama Tokens, one Gaia, and one Field Spell Neo-Space on his field, totaling five cards. Therefore, The Wicked Avatar's ATK still remained at 5,000.

"Evil HERO Dark Gaia!" Judai said. "Attack 'The Wicked Avatar'!"

Gaia raised one hand, palm toward the sky. The earth beneath its feet began to shake, and countless rubble and debris were sucked into the air as if weightless.

Then, suddenly, the ground shattered. Endless lava seemed to be drawn out by an invisible suction, turning into pillars of magma that surged into Gaia's palm like flying fire dragons. The fire dragons stacked and merged into a massive fireball, the high temperature radiating from it making Gaia's form seem to become distorted.

"The power of the Supreme King is truly formidable," Yubel said. "But to defeat a Wicked God, simply stacking high ATK is probably not enough.

I activate my face-down card, the Trap Card, 'Mirror Force'!

When an opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field!"

A sacred blue hemispherical barrier blocked the front of the Wicked God, ready to reflect the attack and make Gaia suffer its own blow.

But it was useless!

Gaia thrust its right palm out, and the lava erupted, thrown far toward the Wicked God. The barrier, known as the strongest shield, was like a thin sheet of paper before Gaia; the fireball pierced through it in a single strike.

"Useless," the Supreme King's cold voice rang out. "The Evil HERO summoned using the power of 'Dark Fusion' cannot be destroyed by card effects this turn." (Original effect)
