"Effect of New Space Hero: Wave Dolphin activated!"
Judai said.
"Discard one card from the hand, you can reveal the opponent's hand and select one Monster Card. If you have a monster with higher Attack Power on your field than that selected monster, destroy the selected monster and inflict 500 points of damage."
"Destroy my hand card, huh." The Overlord said, "Indeed, it's a troublesome monster with a bothersome ability, so let's deal with it quickly here.
Activate Cover Card, Speed Attack Magic 'Effect Confinement'. Nullify the activation of the monster effect and destroy that monster."
Brother Dolphin let out a miserable groan, bound by electric currents, and after a shock play, shattered into fragments and dissipated.
"Wave Dolphin..."
Judai raised his arm to block in front of him, gently gritting his teeth.
His New Space, one of the top two brothers, Brother Dolphin, met his downfall before even starting.
But it doesn't matter, there's still the more reliable Brother Mole.
"Then let's fight!" Judai said, "New Space Hero: Earth Mole, attack 'Evil Heart Hero: Lightning Giant Demon'!"
The Overlord had apparently not seen Brother Mole's prowess, furrowing his brow: "Attacking with a monster with lower Attack Power!"
"Leave it to me!"
Earth Mole emitted a confident voice of reassurance, and with the drill on its head closing up, rumbled into the ground.
Moments later, the ground beside Lightning Giant Demon suddenly cracked open, causing him to stumble and unexpectedly sink into it. Brother Mole emerged, with its drill head crashing onto Lightning Giant Demon. Both returned to each duelists' hand in flashes of gold and dark flows.
"What?" The Overlord said deeply, "Lightning Giant Demon actually got beaten by such fish-level..."
"Effect of New Space Hero: Earth Mole!" Judai said, "At the start of the Damage Step where this card and an opponent's monster battle, return that monster and this card to their respective owners' hands, without damage calculation!"
The Overlord snorted heavily, saying nothing.
Yet, within his mind, he thought to himself, last duel was with Yugen as well, now even my mirror does this, truly the neighboring dimension is a cunning one.
"Direct attack by New Space Hero: Sky Hummingbird!"
The hummingbird flapped its wings to fly, soaring across the venue shimmering with auroras, its sharp beak penetrating like a weapon straight towards the Overlord's body.
[Overlord, LP3200 → LP2400]
"Then, activate Continuous Magic 'Damage Closure Interval'." Judai said, "As long as this card remains on the field, all battle damage received by both players is halved. (Original Card)
My turn ends."
Judai said aloud.
"How about it, see? My unmatched partners of New Space, this is the power of heroes who are needed by others! Unlike someone like you!"
The Overlord pondered.
The power of heroes...
Referring to shaving hand dolphins and bouncing monsters moles?
That indeed cannot be underestimated.
"My turn, draw card."
The Overlord said.
"I also use Magic Card 'Pot of Magic Book'. Both players draw three cards from the deck."
The Overlord drew three cards.
"Then discard 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Gold Star Demon' from hand, effect activated." The Overlord said calmly, "Add a card from the deck with 'Dark Fusion' or having 'Dark Fusion' in its card name to hand.
I add this card from the deck..."
The Overlord revealed the card he searched out.
"Add Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call' to hand."
Judai watched the fleeting phantom of Dark Gold Star Demon on the field, murmuring: "Even the Golden Captain has darkened?"
"Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call', activate!"
The Overlord raised the card in his hand, shouting loudly.
"Exclude Fusion Material monsters from game from hand and graveyard, Fusion summon a hero of the Demon Race!"
Judai held his breath: "Even the evil version of Miracle Fusion exists..."
"Exclude 'Evil Heart Hero: Karmic Fire Wing Demon' and 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Gold Star Demon' from the game, perform Dark Fusion!
Fusion condition is, Evil Heart Hero plus any Five-Star or higher monsters, Fusion Summon!
The ultimate darkness, the symbol of my power—
—Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon!!!"
A hurricane brewed from darkness, akin to the breath of an abyss, carrying a nameless fear, even the aurora of New Space seemed to dim.
It was as if darkness itself had been given life, swirling and intertwining, forming a tornado capable of shaking the entire New Universe Space. Countless pitch-black particles in the storm frantically gathered and condensed, gradually forming into sharp silver claws, a powerful long tail, sinister heavy armor, every inch seemed to reveal malice and madness from Hell.
The ultimate Evil Heart, Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, descends!
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, Attack Power 3000]
Like darkness itself descending, the horrific storm seemed to overturn the entire New Space. Judai raised his arm in front of him, stunned as he looked at the massive Demon King that descended.
"This Evil Heart, this feeling of power... What is going on?"
Judai instinctively pressed his hand against his chest.
It felt as if not just because of the god-like strong fluctuations contained within this Evil Heart.
It's like facing this Demon King, merely staring at him felt inexplicably heart-palpitating.
"This monster probably symbolizes a part of the Overlord's embodiment, right."
A voice sounded in his ear.
Judai turned his head, seeing his Ultraman—Elemental HERO Neos—floating beside him like a Back Spirit, speaking.
"In that case, then." Judai seemed to understand a bit, "That's why this monster gives me this feeling of heart-palpitations..."
He instinctively clenched his fist.
"Effect of Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon." The Overlord said, "Once per turn, all opponent's monsters on the field with Attack Power lower than this card are destroyed!"
"All monsters?" Judai was startled.
All field destruction ability.
This made him more confident in Neos' suspicion. This monster was indeed a part of the Overlord's embodiment, this sweeping power fitting Overlord's persona, was the most suitable monster.
The poor little hummingbird couldn't withstand such overwhelming power, under the avalanche-like dark flow was immediately overwhelmed, pulverized.
"And, Evil Blade Death Demon gains strength during this time." The Overlord said, "For each monster destroyed by this effect, Evil Blade Death Demon's Attack Power increases by 200 points!"
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, Attack Power 3000→Attack Power 3200]
"Not good, Judai," the already stepped down Brother Dolphin also appeared as Back Spirit beside him, "With this, it means the more monsters he destroys, the stronger he becomes.
And conversely, the higher power monsters he can destroy!"
Evil Blade Death Demon could sweep away all monsters with power lower than its own, and the more it blasts, the higher its power will rise, creating a positive feedback loop.
"Correct, Evil Blade Death Demon is the ultimate Evil Heart, its power has no limit." The Overlord said, "But you won't see its strongest moment.
Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, direct attack!"
