Chapter 458 - Final Form

Anubis raised his thick eyebrows and remained silent for a while.

Actually, Yuei Vu could probably guess what he was going to say. Anyway, the villain only repeated a few words, and the meanings were probably the same.

At best, it was estimated that he would try to recruit Yuei Vu and say something like "Look at this cake I just draw, it is so big and round".

Anubis: "If you join me, with our strength, we can easily destroy the King of Light and the hateful King of Darkness! We can bring destruction to this world!"

Yuei Vu: "…"

Are you crazy? Why must I bring destruction to this world?

Kaiba gave me cards, gave me money, and even gave me a house. You? Well, the temptation to recruit me is… the destruction of the world?

How stupid I need to be to join you?

If the temptation changed into "Orichalcos God of Heaven", Yuei Vu said that maybe he could still consider…

Orichalcos God of Heaven (Quick-Play Spell): Destroy and banish all cards in the opponent's deck, hand, field, and graveyard. The activation and effects of this card cannot be negated. (1)

"Although you are no ordinary duelist, you have nothing to do with the Pharaoh or the priest." Anubis frowned, "We have no reason to fight.

It's time for you to see the reality yourself. Although you are a rare strong man in the world, you are still not my opponent.

Your soul is being peeled off by the pyramid, and your power cannot be exerted. "

After a pause, he smiled slightly.

"In addition, you should have discovered that in this secret pyramid, even your most loyal servant cannot help you."

Yuei Vu was taken aback for a moment and suddenly realized something.

That being said…it seemed true.

Dark Magician Girl, Silent Magician, and so many other spirits in his hands… none of them seemed to respond in this duel.

Yuei Vu glanced at the huge crystal pyramid, and the weird dark red eyes at the waist of the pyramid.

…Is it because of this?

He remembered that in the movie, after the Pyramid of Light was activated, the soul of Yugi Muto was also excluded from the duel. He and Yami Yugi no longer communicate with each other during a duel.

Then maybe the same thing happened to Yuei Vu's spirits.

Although the Duelist Rank on the system panel was unaffected, and he could still vaguely feel the connection between himself and the spirits, unless they are summoned in a duel, they couldn't help him.

There were no Egyptian Gods, no spirits, this time he could only rely on himself to fight alone.

"A general who loses his subordinates will be powerless no matter how powerful he is." Anubis continued to induce, "Give up, you have no chance of winning.

Being alone, what else can you do? "

…No, not right.

Even in this isolated space, in this cold pyramid, I am not alone.

A phantom with a vague figure, like a bad-quality image, seemed to break through the barrier of the pyramid with difficulty and appeared beside Yuei Vu with light blue lightning all over his body.

His figure was very vague, making it difficult to see his true face, but there was an aura all over his body that made Yuei Vu feel very familiar as if he has been with him for many years.

The illusory hand rested lightly on Yuei Vu's shoulder as if silently telling——

——It's okay, I'm still here.

Yuei Vu felt as if he understood why did he feel the subtle aura unique to a spirit when he saw Vapor and Blast in the previous duel, and when he summoned Koga today.

He remembered what Paradox said about the powerful spirit unique to the Duel King that was bred by fighting side by side with him countless times.

The answer was, Masked HERO.

It's not a card of any attribute, but all the "Masked HERO" monsters in his hand.

To be more precise, all the "Masked HERO" cards were the same hero, the same spirit, just in different forms.

The reason why he felt the breath of a spirit from a few cards of the Masked HERO was that they were indeed spirit cards.

But the reason why it didn't look like a spirit when he carefully checked later was that a single card was indeed not a complete spirit.

All the "Masked HEROes" in his hands were superimposed together, that was the real and complete spirit that was exclusive to the Duel King.

After thinking through this section, Yuei Vu suddenly had a bold idea.

An attempt he had never tried before, but now he was inexplicably confident that he could succeed in one fell swoop.

"My turn, draw!"

After Yuei Vu drew the card, he raised his hand to activate the set card directly.

"Activate Trap Card – Damaged Mask!" Yuei Vu said, "Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster from the Graveyard, ignoring its summoning conditions, but that monster will be destroyed at the end of the turn!" (manga card)

The Duel Disk's tomb area flashed golden light, and a card popped out.

"Come back to the field again, Masked HERO Vapor!"

A stream of water gushed out of nowhere on the ground, and the Masked HERO with blue-and-white armor and red eyepieces stepped on the stream and returned to the field again.

Although the armor on his body was still damaged in many places, and the red eyepiece on the left was also cracked as if it was on the verge of breaking, he still stood stubbornly, turned his head sideways, and nodded slightly to Yuei Vu.

Like a comrade who could give his life for his friends.

[Masked HERO Vapor, ATK 2400]

"Do you want to continue fighting?" Anubis said coldly, "Indeed, 'Swords of Concealing Light' can only turn the servants on the field into a defensive state at the moment of activation, and the servants summoned now can indeed attack.

But with his strength, he couldn't even touch the toes of 'Theinen the Great Sphinx'. You wouldn't pin your hope of reversal on this kind of servant, would you?

Now that things are up to now, what's the point of calling out this kind of guy? "

"It's only now that it makes sense." Yuei Vu chuckled, "Because a hero of justice… always comes in the darkest hour!"

He raised his right hand high and pointed straight at the dark and chaotic vortex in midair.

"Activate the effect of Field Spell – Fusion Gate!" Yuei Vu said, "Fusion Monsters can be Fusion Summoned without using 'Polymerization', by banishing the Fusion Material Monsters from the game!

I fuse the "Masked HERO Vapor" and "Masked HERO Koga" on the field…! "

Anubis was surprised: "Use the fused servant to fuse again!?"

Masked HERO Koga, Mask Hero Vapor, the two heroes turned into golden light and blue water arrows and rose from the ground respectively. The two forces intertwined and rushed up into the air, and merged into the black hole of the "Fusion Gate". There was a burst of lightning and thunder, and a new force burst out from the other end of the door!

"The fusion condition is 2 'Masked HERO' monsters!" Yuei Vu raised his arms, "Fusion Summon! From light to darkness, and then from darkness to light, open the world with the power of awakening——

——Contrast HERO Chaos! "

The hero named Chaos revealed his body from the alternation of light and dark. Slender arms, and sturdy armor, the left half of the body was white, and the right half was black. The shape was completely symmetrical, but the colors were diametrically opposed. The striking contrast reflected a different kind of arrogance and beauty.

The hero spread his arms, and the black and white beam of light seemed to be torn apart by the volley! Black and white streamers undulated violently behind him.

[Contrast HERO Chaos, ATK 3000]

Yuei Vu raised his head, looked at the back of the black-and-white hero in mid-air, and knew that his attempt was successful.

This card did not exist in his card pool.

This was the first card he has "printed" by himself like a real protagonist since he came to this world.

At the same time, this was also proof of the birth of his unique spirit, "Masked HERO".

As we all know, all Kamen Riders since Heisei had a strongest "final form" throughout the TV series.

So for Masked HERO, this "Contrast HERO Chaos" was his final form.

"This is..."

Anubis looked directly at the hero in midair, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

"Light and darkness, the forces that have opposed and conflicted with each other since ancient times, are they so perfectly condensed in this body?"

Anubis murmured.

"The future world can actually breed such powerful fighters…"

"Contrast HERO Chaos has both LIGHT-attribute and DARK-attribute." Yuei Vu said lightly, "And according to the rules, he can also be treated as an 'Elemental HERO'."

Anubis regained his composure: "So what? Although he is a very powerful servant, he still cannot defeat Theinen…"

"Equip Spell – Favorite Hero!" Yuei Vu showed the card in his hand, "Equip it to 'Contrast HERO Chaos'! If there is a card in my Field Zone, the equipped monster gains ATK equal to its original DEF, also the opponent cannot target it with card effects!"

[Contrast HERO Chaos, ATK 3000 → ATK 5600]

"It's useless." Anubis said coldly, "Even so, it still can't defeat my monster…"

"Equip Spell – Rainbow Veil! Equip it to 'Contrast HERO Chaos'!" Another card appeared in front of Yuei Vu, "If the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, while that monster is on the field, its effect is negated during the Battle Phase only!"

"What!?" Anubis' expression changed suddenly.

"That's right, although it looks like the attack power is 11800, it's just a monster effect." Yuei Vu said, "If the monster effect is negated, Theinen's attack power must return to the original value…that is, 3500 points! "

He pointed at the hideous and distorted huge monster on the opponent's field.

"Battle!" Yuei Vu said, "Contrast HERO Chaos! Attack 'Theinen the Great Sphinx'!"

The two-color hero soared high, his body spun around at high speed, and a black-and-white storm rolled up in midair!

It was a gust of wind that seemed to cut through everything, and nothing could resist it. A strong wind fell down from the sky, splitting the earth and stirring up space as if summoning an indomitable monster from the chaos, and the sound of the wind was its endless roar.

Theinen raised his lion-faced head and roared not to be outdone. But the rainbow light released from the storm shrouded its body, limiting its strength like invisible shackles bound its body.

[Theinen the Great Sphinx, ATK 11800 → ATK 3500]

The strength was reversed, and the ultimate Masked HERO occupies the top position. With a single blow from the black and white tornado rolled up by his body, he would smash the huge monster, and the soul of Anubis, who has just recovered from his sleep, was also smashed into pieces!

But at this moment, the corner of Anubis's mouth curled up, the veins on his face popped out, and he showed a ferocious smile.

"A very powerful fighter, a perfect counterattack…but!" he shouted, "My power is even beyond yours!

This is my final trap, the decisive blow——

——Soul Strike! "

While Anubis shouted loudly, the last set card in front of him also flipped over.

Soul Strike: If your LP is 4000 or less, when an attack is declared involving a monster you control and an opponent's monster: Pay half your LP, then target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains ATK equal to the deficit between your current LP and 4000 until the end of your opponent's turn..

[Anubis, LP 500 → LP 250]

Gritting his teeth, Anubis endured the extraction of life force from his body, then raised his thick arms, raised his volume, and yelled loudly.

"Use my blood to transform into power and crush the enemy! Theinen the Great Sphinx, the final counterattack!"

[Theinen the Great Sphinx, ATK 3500 → ATK 7250]

"Hahahaha!!!" Anubis laughed happily, "Did you see it? This is the decisive gap between us, the true final move!

I have already given you a chance, since you refuse to accept it, then become my sacrifice! "

Facing the monster whose body was rapidly expanding and standing still against the storm of the opposing heroes, Yuei Vu… laughed again.

"That's not necessarily true."

Anubis' pupils shrank.

"At this moment, the effect of Contrast HERO Chaos is activated!" Yuei Vu extended his arm, "Once per turn, I can target 1 face-up card on the field; negate that target's effects until the end of this turn!

And this effect can be activated during the opponent's turn! "

"Na… Nani!?"

Yuei Vu pointed to the trap card in front of Anubis, the trap where he sacrificed his soul in his last hope of counterattack.

"Use the effect of Contrast HERO Chaos to negate the effect of 'Soul Strike'!" Yuei Vu said, "Therefore, the attack power of Theinen the Great Sphinx remains the same!"

The light and dark energy captured the trap that had just been opened, covering that card, and the domineering energy tore the trap card into pieces.

Theinen, who had only been able to strike back for a few seconds, immediately withered again, and his swollen figure returned to its original shape, unable to move under the suppression of the heroic power.

[Theinen the Great Sphinx, ATK 7250 → ATK 3500]

"Contrast HERO Chaos, attack! Chaos Final Storm!"

The gust of wind rolled up the monster's body, and the monster with the lion-faced beast's body was swept into the air uncontrollably. The invisible long whip beat its body violently, again and again, breaking its wings. The afterimage of the two-color hero came in a flash, and the chain of spinning kicks hit its body continuously at super high speed.

The lion monster made a mournful cry and exploded in the storm. Fragments of its body scattered in all directions and boundless darkness was released. The aftermath of the eruption quickly swept Anubis into it, destroying his newly reborn body, melting his flesh, and even his bones were vaporized bit by bit.

Anubis struggled desperately, tried his best to resist the scorching airwaves, tore his own flesh, and roared in pain.

"That cannot be! I am the king of destruction, the existence that smashes Egyptian Gods and turns Pharaoh into nothingness! How could it be possible for this guy to defeat me…

...AHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! "

[Anubis, LP 250 → LP 0]
