Chapter 705: Ultimate Power

No Entry!!

It was as if prison bars had been raised on both sides of the field, isolating each other's monsters behind iron fences. Both the pitch-black Evil Hero and the two-headed demon dragon had to crouch down under the trap's restraint, returning to defensive postures.

"If they change to Defense Position, Terror Incarnate cannot attack, battle damage doesn't occur, and naturally, there's no way to reflect damage back to me." Jaden said.

Yubel gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "To what extent are you going to reject my love, Jaden?"

"You're wrong, Yubel. This isn't love at all." Jaden said, his expression slightly dim. "It's my fault. I was young then, and I thought if I sent you to space, you could receive the right influence and become better... But no matter what, I shouldn't have abandoned you. No matter the reason, I shouldn't have forgotten you.

You must have suffered a lot over these years, right?"

Such an attitude made Yubel pause. She seemed to briefly see the image of the prince from the past in the young man before her, and her heart couldn't help but flutter.

Jaden said: "Wanting to protect but having no power, gaining power but being hated... Now I understand.

However, compared to these, the more painful thing is finally gaining the power to protect, but losing the thing you wanted to protect."

Yubel: "!"

These were clearly just calm words, yet they seemed to carry the weight of a thousand tons, piercing through the fog of darkness and striking the deepest part of her heart—a soft part that even she didn't know still existed.

Even those dark eyes briefly regained clarity.

But it probably only lasted for a few seconds.

"No..." Yubel shook her head, her expression gradually becoming distorted. "All the pain of these ten years, this dark journey itself, is the love you bestowed upon me, Jaden. And I will share this unforgettable love with you again!"

Yubel first drew a card from her hand and inserted it into the backrow.

"First, set one card in the backrow."

She then raised her arm, and golden light flew out from the Graveyard. The light landed on the ground and turned into green leaves, blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a vibrant lotus flower.

"During the End Phase, I activate the effect of one of the 'Naturia Lotus' in my Graveyard." Yubel said. "Naturia Lotus exists in the Graveyard at the end of the turn, and can be Special Summoned to my field in Attack Position.

Come, Naturia Lotus!"

【Naturia Lotus, ATK 0】

"Then, also activated during the End Phase is the effect of 'Yubel - Terror Incarnate'!" Yubel said. "During my End Phase, destroy all other monsters on my field!"

Terror Incarnate's two dragon heads let out a wail in unison, as if sound waves were erupting from their mouths. Transparent ripples swept across the field, and the tiny lotus was blown up like a storm, crushed into dust in mid-air.

"Then, according to the number of monsters destroyed on my field, destroy monsters on the opponent's field." Yubel sneered. "The power of the Supreme King, is it?

Disappear too! Jaden only needs me!"

"Doomsday Sacrifice!"

The destroyed Naturia Lotus turned into ammunition, transforming into a golden light cannonball that blasted straight into Malicious Bane's chest. With a roar of explosion, fire erupted on Malicious Bane's chest, turning into a fireball that swallowed the majestic body.

However, when the fire dissipated, only flames and black smoke were seen dissipating on the demon's armor. The remaining fire snakes licked the armor, but couldn't leave even a single scar. The demon's face was calm, as if it hadn't even sensed the attack.

Yubel's expression changed slightly: "Nani?"

The Supreme King hummed: "Small tricks, how could they possibly be useful against my Malicious Bane?

Evil Hero Malicious Bane, this card on the field cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects."

Yubel: "Tch, troublesome Supreme King... Then my turn ends."

Jaden let out another breath: "That was close, the attack this turn was also blocked. As expected of you, Supreme King, you've got some skills."

Supreme King: "..."

The Supreme King was silent for a moment.

Looking at Jaden, then at Yubel, the Supreme King's eternally cold golden eyes began to show a trace of wavering.

Some memories from a long time ago, so distant that they didn't even seem to belong to him, began to flood in.

He saw his past self. A young general, in heavy black armor, with a cape flying behind him. The setting sun shone on the battlefield littered with corpses, and the only reliance behind the lonely soldier was the guardian who had fallen into a demon, Yubel.

Jaden was right, they were one and the same.

That was Jaden's memory, and it was also his.

Yes, once upon a time, he also had partners he could trust, and people he could trust absolutely and who were irreplaceable.

Since when did the word "bond" become a joke and a burden to him?

"... Jaden Yuki."

The Supreme King suddenly spoke.

Jaden: "What?"

Supreme King: "I tried to defeat you before, to absorb everything about you, so that I could become complete. Only then would I have a chance to release the true ultimate darkness and obtain the power of 'that card'."

Jaden was stunned: "'That card'?"

"Yes, 'that card'." The Supreme King said coldly. "'That card' is me, the supreme symbol of the Supreme King's power, representing absolute power."

His golden eyes looked at Yubel opposite, and he said in a deep voice.

(Content omitted)

"Now, something powerful is indeed entangled on her. I'm afraid that even if I win the duel, it may not be easy to separate those things from Yubel."

Jaden frowned: "Then what should I do?"

The Supreme King pondered for two seconds.

"I can only use 'that card'." The Supreme King said. "'That card' possesses absolute power that cannot be resisted. If I rely on that card, I should be able to do it."

Jaden said: "But I don't have that kind of thing."

"I said, I initially tried to absorb everything about you, precisely for that card. When we become one and become complete again, we will have a chance to release the power of that card."

The Supreme King said lightly.

"Do you want to save Yubel?"

"Of course." Jaden said decisively.

"At any cost."

"Without hesitation." Jaden said.

"Good." The Supreme King said. "Then prove it to me, and prove it to her.

If you really have that determination, then you should be able to do it. Awaken that card representing the symbol of our supreme power, and use its power to save Yubel."

"Our supreme power..."

Jaden looked at his right hand, then at his Deck.

The Supreme King said no more, just watching quietly from the side.

Jaden reached out and placed his hand gently on the Deck, closing his eyes slightly.

Yes, he had already decided, no matter what, he would save Yubel, at any cost.

It was agreed in a past life that they would walk together forever.

Opening his eyes suddenly, the golden light in Jaden's eyes was even more dazzling than before, the brilliant golden light seeming to turn into an enraged lion.

"My turn—draw!"
