Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 408: The Beloved Monster (Bonus)

Terra descends!

The white giant landed, setting off a towering cloud of dust, its huge form stretching up into the sky!

[Elemental HERO Terra Firma, ATK 2500]

"Jaden summoned both of Koyo’s ace cards in one go!" Mokuba couldn’t help but exclaim, "Impressive!"

Midori looked at Jaden on the stage. For a moment, she almost saw Koyo’s silhouette overlapping with that boy, and she lost herself in thought.

"So this is what you want to pass on through dueling, Koyo..." she murmured.

"It’s not over yet! Elemental HERO Terra Firma’s effect activates! By tributing ’Elemental HERO Absolute Zero,’ Terra can absorb its ATK and DEF values!

EARTH BURN!!!"

At Jaden’s command, Absolute Zero transformed into pure energy and merged with Terra. Terra’s snowy-white body instantly turned scorching hot, like molten lava pouring from its body, glowing red as if it were a brand heated in a forge.

[Elemental HERO Terra Firma, ATK 2500 → 5000]

"Five thousand attack points..."

The Arbiter looked up at Terra, as if staring straight at the spirit of Koyo.

"Trying to decide it all with a single blow?"

"It’s still not over! At this moment, ’Elemental HERO Absolute Zero’s’ new ability activates—

—Absolute Zero!!!"

"What!?" The crowd gasped.

Even Kaiba looked visibly unsettled this time.

"Did this kid just evolve his monster mid-duel using the power of a duelist?"

It wasn’t without precedent—after all, the "Dragon Master Knight" that Yugi and Kaiba fused was born under similar circumstances. But such occurrences were so rare as to be almost nonexistent.

It required not only a duelist’s powerful destiny, but also an extraordinary bond with one’s monster—what many called a "bond."

Only in extremely specific circumstances, when a duelist and their monster resonated to a high degree, could a monster evolve on its own during a duel.

This is what’s known as card imprinting.

Just like Jaden now, awakening a hidden power in his ace card—originally Koyo’s—"Elemental HERO Absolute Zero."

Though it lasted only a moment, the Arbiter clearly saw a flash of gold in the boy’s eyes.

A burning, awe-inspiring golden gaze.

But it was only for a split-second, then his eyes returned to normal.

"Heh, I knew I wasn’t wrong about him." The Arbiter smiled.

He really is an interesting kid.

"Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, new effect! When this card leaves the field, destroy all monsters on your opponent’s field!"

"Such a strong effect!?"

Mokuba was shocked.

Absolute freezing, as if the whole field’s temperature dropped to absolute zero. No ordinary creature could survive such an arctic hell—Arbiter’s Dark Armed Dragon, Flame Wingman, and Helpoemer—all monsters were instantly frozen and shattered into glittering crystals in seconds.

"Interesting... very interesting."

The Arbiter grew even more interested.

"Battle! The final strike!" Jaden declared. "Terra’s attack will end this duel!"

First, the ultimate chill. Then, the fury of molten lava. With 5000 attack points, Terra absorbed all that molten energy, forming a flaming sword of destruction in its hand!

Even the audience held their breath.

Will he win?

"Not bad, you’ve managed to draw out a bit of your true power. But it’s still not enough."

The Arbiter spoke calmly.

"It seems I’ll have to force you to face your past. Only then will that sleeping soul awaken."

"What did you say?" Jaden frowned.

"Jaden... Jaden..."

"—Yubel, summoned!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
