Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
As a faint light appeared, a sturdy, gray-black clay monster figure emerged.
He appeared in a defensive stance, half-crouching, on the huge horizontal card shadow that appeared in front of Jaden Yuki!

"Waaah... Big brother is now in a completely unfavorable situation, forced to defend passively...!" Syrus Truesdale exclaimed with a worried expression.
The same was true for the chubby Chumley next to him. Jiang He simply continued to observe the situation. He knew perfectly well that the outcome of this duel basically depended entirely on whether that hot-blooded idiot, Jaden, would use that ridiculously one-time-use Spell Card at the crucial moment.
The power of the Philosopher's Stone.
His presence has caused a slight shift in the current situation from its original trajectory.
Previously, Jaden, that hot-blooded idiot, didn't use the Philosopher's Stone when he needed to deal with old man Kagemaru. Therefore, even Jiang He is a little unsure who will win the duel between Jaden and that little gray-haired Aster Phoenix.

"Hmph, it can only hold out a little longer."
Seeing that Jaden Yuki had summoned another [Elemental HERO Clayman] for defense, Aster said, taking out a card and placing it on the Duel Disk to activate it!
"Activate Spell Card from your hand, [Hammer Shot]! Destroy the monster with the highest DEF on your opponent's field!"
"Bang!!"
Spell Card image appeared, featuring a familiar image of a fist striking the earth.
The next second, a giant fist suddenly descended from the sky, shattering the newly appeared [Elemental HERO Clayman], who was crouching in a defensive stance in front of Jaden Yuki, into orange-yellow particles with a muffled groan, and the destruction vanished!
Seeing that Jaden Yuki's hand and field were empty, Aster Phoenix smiled confidently and placed his last card on the Duel Disk.
"I'll hide one more card, turn over!"
With a "thud," an ambush card instantly appeared in the field in front of him.
"That was incredibly dangerous! As expected, someone hailed as a genius professional duelist isn't so easy to deal with!"
Jaden Yuki watched this scene with excitement and said...
At the same time, he also placed his hand on his own Duel Disk deck.
"But I still have an even stronger hero I haven't used yet! My turn, draw a card!"
"They're here!"
Seeing the expression on Jaden Yuki Yuki's face after he looked at the card he had drawn, Jiang He immediately guessed what was going on.
Clearly, this is the power of the "God-tier Draw Dog" (a player's nickname) starting to kick in...
"Activate the special effect of [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] in your hand. If you only have this one card in your hand, you can Special Summon!"
Jaden Yuki quickly showed the card he had drawn.
"And when you have no other cards on your field besides him, you can draw two cards!"
"Drink!!"
With a faint light, a monster figure dressed in blue clothes and a cape, with a water gun weapon on its wrist, appeared!
He appeared in front of Jaden Yuki, shouting and aiming a water gun!

"As expected of the ' Pot of Greedman '..." Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips and mutter a complaint.
It's no wonder it's a bond between players who draw amazing characters.
He even seriously suspected that among the two cards that hot-blooded idiot Jaden drew next, there was another card that was often "stuck together" with that "Pot of Greedman".
And soon enough, his guess came true after Jaden Yuki drew two cards from his deck using the effect of [Elemental HERO Bubbleman]!
"Next, activate the Spell Card from your hand, [Pot of Greed]! Draw two more cards from your Deck!"
As Jaden Yuki revealed another card, a large, green, grotesque-faced jar appeared on the field in front of him.
And as he drew two more cards from the deck, they automatically shattered into particles and disappeared.
Jaden Yuki's hand also increased from zero to three cards.
"This must be what Jiang He calls a 'god-tier draw'...?" Rei Saotome watched this scene with a subtle expression, suddenly realizing that she understood what Jiang He meant by that strange term "god-tier draw"!
Even Alexis Rhodes, Tyranno Hassleberry, and Syrus Truesdale all wore strange expressions as they watched the situation.
Only the old, cunning Sartorius, standing on the other side with Chazz Princeton, maintained his mysterious, charlatan-like expression, showing no sign of surprise.
He even maintained a slightly eerie smile throughout.
Everything that has happened so far has been within the "general fate" of Jaden Yuki that he had foreseen.
No force emerged to change their fate.
According to his divination using the power of the Light of Destruction, Jaden Yuki will put Aster in a tough battle, but Aster!
"Damn it, I just got three more cards in my hand!"
Meanwhile, not far away on the dueling field, Aster Phoenix frowned upon seeing Jaden Yuki's hand!
"Next, activate the Spell Card [Philosopher's Stone] from your hand!"
Just then, Jaden Yuki suddenly smiled confidently and placed one of his three cards directly onto his Duel Disk to activate his Duel!
A Spell Card containing an object resembling a blue-green crystal ball suddenly appeared! "What?! The Philosopher's Stone?!"
Upon seeing this card, the previously composed Sartorius's expression immediately changed!
Although he didn't know alchemy, he sensed a considerable power emanating from that card!
Most importantly, this force was completely outside of the destiny he had originally envisioned!
"... Did you really use it...?" Jiang He's expression turned strange for a moment.
Now, the situation is really about to change.
"That's... the key card that Professor Banner gave to Jaden Yuki, to be used to deal with Chairman Kagemaru's Sacred Beasts when needed, to stop him?!" Beside Jiang He, Alexis Rhodes quickly realized the origin of this Spell Card, [Philosopher's Stone]!
"Ah, so it was that one-time card that Professor Banner gave to my older brother back then, the one with the highest crystallization power of alchemy...!" "But because Jiang He too strong, he directly stopped Chairman Kagemaru, and it wasn't used at the time!" Syrus Truesdale and Chumley (the one with the money) also remembered something and said in a daze.
They vaguely remembered that their older brother/ Jaden originally seemed to be planning to adjust the deck and use it in his next duel with Jiang He.
Unexpectedly, he's now in trouble because of his duel with that genius professional duelist Aster Phoenix, and has been used prematurely!
"It's actually the key card originally intended to counter the power of the Sacred Beasts...?!" Upon hearing this, Aster Phoenix's face immediately turned green!
He had naturally heard rumors about the Sacred Beasts incident while inquiring about the Duel Academy, and had also vaguely heard about them through the secret channels of the Sartorius!
But why was such a powerful, one-time killing move left behind, and even used in a duel with him?! Judging from what the others were saying, it seems to be caused by that damned Jiang He again... Aster's psychological trauma instantly intensified!

"The effect of the Spell Card [Philosopher's Stone] is: Each time you pay half your Life Points, you can add one card from your Deck to your hand. After three times, when you run out of Life Points, this card becomes an Equip Card."
As Jaden Yuki spoke, he took two cards from his own Duel Disk deck!
"I choose to pay two life points to add [Polymerization Recovery] and the Quick-Play Spell [Mystical Space Typhoon] from my deck to my hand!" As the effect of [Philosopher's Stone] was triggered twice, Jaden Yuki's original [2500 LP] life points first dropped to [1250 LP], and then quickly dropped by half again, becoming [625 LP]!
Even lower than Aster Phoenix's [1200LP]! (Image: Preemptive health lock. jpg) "Oh no!"
Upon seeing the Quick-Play Spell [Mystical Space Typhoon] that Jaden Yuki added to his hand, Aster Phoenix's expression instantly changed; he sensed something was wrong!
This Spell Card, [Philosopher's Stone], allows you to add desired cards from your deck to your hand multiple times by paying half of your life points.
This was completely outside his calculations!
"The outcome should be decided now..." Jiang He muttered to himself, already having reached a pretty good conclusion.
And indeed, that is the case!
"Next, activate this Quick-Play Spell I just added to my hand, [Mystical Space Typhoon]! Destroy that Ambush card on your field!" Jaden Yuki showed the Mystical Space Typhoon he had just added to his hand again. "Whoosh!!"
The next second, a Mystical Space Typhoon suddenly flew out from the Quick-Play Spell [Mystical Space Typhoon] in his hand, sweeping towards the Ambush card on the field in front of Aster Phoenix!
The hidden card was instantly flung into the air and shattered into orange-yellow particles with a "bang" and disappeared!
Jiang He could vaguely see that the ambush card that had just been destroyed was a trap with the image of a humanoid dinosaur monster attacking a shield!
It's clearly a trap [Draining Shield]!
It can Null and Void the attack of one of the opponent's monsters and restore its life points to equal the monster's attack power! Damn it!
Seeing his defensive ambush trap destroyed, Aster Phoenix's expression immediately darkened. After losing to the "chosen one," Jiang He, was he really going to lose to this user of the same HERO Deck, Jaden Yuki, who was clearly weaker than him and used the E-hero deck?!
"Next, activate the Spell Card, [Polymerization Recovery]! Recycle one [Polymerization] Spell Card from the Graveyard, as well as one Polymerization Material used previously!" At this moment, Jaden Yuki also placed another Spell Card, [Polymerization Recovery], which he had just added to his hand using the effect of [Philosopher's Stone], onto the Duel Disk and activated it! "Whoosh!!"
A Spell Card image bearing the symbols of Polymerization and an orange ghost suddenly appeared on the field in front of him! "The cards I choose to add from the graveyard to my hand are, of course, the Spell Card [Polymerization] and [Elemental HERO Avian]!" As he finished speaking, a flash of orange light appeared in the graveyard position on the Duel Disk worn by Jaden Yuki, and two cards quickly popped out one after another, which he picked up and gestured to Aster Phoenix opposite him.
"It's clearly that Spell Card [Polymerization], and one of the Polymerization materials Jaden Yuki used when Fusion Summon Flame Wingman, Avian!" With that, all the necessary materials are now gathered!
After adding two more cards from the graveyard (BAFC) to his hand, Jaden Yuki's hand now held six cards. To this, Jiang He could only say that this incredible draw combined with cheat-like power was roughly equivalent to an enhanced version of the [Card of Sanctity] he had used in his duel with that little gray-haired guy, Aster Phoenix... Meanwhile, not far away, Sartorius, seeing Jaden Yuki's six cards, also had a somewhat grim expression!
His plans seem to be thwarted once again...!
While the [Elemental HERO Phoenix Enforcer] Aster the field cannot be destroyed by combat, it still needs to take combat damage.
If Jaden Yuki uses the [Polymerization] Spell Card that was just added to his hand from the Graveyard, he can summon a monster with 3300 or more ATK.
Then this duel will come to an end!
"Activate the Spell Card [Polymerization], fusing [Elemental HERO Avian] and [Elemental HERO Sparkman] from my hand, and [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] Polymerization the field!" At that moment, Jaden Yuki, brimming with fighting spirit, pulled out three cards from his hand and announced, "Polymerization Special Summon, [Elemental HERO Tempest]!" "Hah!!"
As a vortex of fused yellow, blue, Polymerization energy appeared, the phantoms of Avian and Sparkman materialized, leaping into the vortex Polymerization them simultaneously with Bubbleman was already on the field!
It twisted instantly!
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a white light, from which emerged a green-haired hero-monster figure with wings, blue electric armor, and a spray gun on his wrist!
With a soft shout, it slowly landed on the field in front of Jaden Yuki!
