Although it cannot compare to the power of his Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal or the God Cards of the Egyptian God Cards, it is still not much less powerful than one of the Sacred Beasts!

It is a rare Duel Monsters, even without engaging in Shadow Duel, can achieve a degree of near-physical form upon being summoned and cause some damage to the surrounding real world.

However, at this moment, the power of Sartorius's Light of Destruction still lingers on this card...

It's even more concentrated than before.

"The answer to this question is already on this card you hold in your hand..."

Jiang He spoke to the little gray-haired Aster with a strange expression.

He pointed to the ultimate D. hero card in the opponent's hand, [Destiny HERO - Plasma]!

"This card already possesses a white energy invisible to most people. This power can cause the mind of anyone who loses a duel with you to be controlled by Sartorius and turned white."

"This must be the power of the Light of Destruction you mentioned."

Jiang He pretended not to know the specifics, took out a camera with recording capabilities, gestured towards the little gray- Aster Phoenix, and continued, "I happen to have some 'examples' of the Light of Destruction Brain Control and controlling targets that I recorded before. Perhaps I can show them to you."

"Examples of Brain Control and control using the Light of Destruction?"

Upon hearing this, Aster Phoenix was taken aback, while Alexis Rhodes, sitting on the sofa next to Jiang He, immediately had a strange expression as she thought about what was inside the camera!

It must have been those remarks made by those who seemed like traitors when Chazz Princeton turned the Obelisk Blue dormitory white.

She had recorded it casually at Jiang He's instruction. Little did she know, this guy was planning to use it now to steal that Sartorius's girlfriend and show it to Aster Phoenix...?

Even Rei Saotome and Mindy's two best friends, Jasmine and Alexis, who were also present at the time, had strange expressions.

He glanced at Jiang He.

As expected of you...!

"Ahem. However, this recorded video concerns the image of one of my companions. If you want to see it, you'll have to pay an image fee first!" Just as the little gray-haired Aster was about to take it, Jiang He suddenly coughed and said in a serious tone.

"..." Aster couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

This guy is definitely not a good person!

At this point, you should try to squeeze more money out of him.

However, Aster has never been particularly concerned about money, since as a top professional duelist, he usually earns quite a bit.

Therefore, he directly took out a card containing money and exchanged it with Jiang He's recording camera. "As per Sartorius Saiō's orders, I will dye the entire Duel Academy white as soon as possible!" "The manager is just a disguise! Sartorius is the founder and leader of our Society of Light!"

"He is also destined to dominate this entire world of real-world duels, enveloping everything in Cipher!"

When the camera played the scene where Manjōmu's Chazz Princeton laughter rang out, revealing all of Sartorius's secrets, it was briefly replayed.

Aster Phoenix stared blankly, then fell into a moment of silence...!

For a moment, he was unsure whether to believe the video was real or fake.

Do Brain Control and controlled "traitors" really exist in this world...?!

However, after carefully recalling his duel with that Jaden Yuki, he seemed to have indeed seen this person named Chazz Princeton standing next to Sartorius, and his words and actions were somewhat strange.

Aster Phoenix immediately believed the video was real!

Especially in this scene, so many students from Obelisk Blue are acting very strangely.

Even the Obelisk Blue dormitory at the Duel Academy was dyed white.

The possibility that Jiang He would deliberately create such a fake video to deceive him is almost zero.

"In other words, the current Sartorius is truly possessed by the will of the Light of Destruction, and is no longer the same person he was before!" Aster Phoenix said through gritted teeth and clenched his fists.

"I must stop him!"

Chapter 367 The Matter of Offering One's Head as a Gift, Dame [Please Subscribe]

"Hey, you don't actually think you can defeat the will of the Light of Destruction without being able to initiate Shadow Duel, do you...?" Just as Aster Phoenix was making up his mind, Jiang He said this to the little gray-haired guy with a strange expression.

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over someone's head.

He was almost certain without even needing to test it that with that old Sartorius's cunning, even without engaging in Shadow Duel, he could affect his opponent's abilities. Under normal circumstances, he would obviously not engage in such a thankless and exhausting Shadow Duel.

Unless, like in the previous Shadow Riders incident, the Shadow Riders Dark Duelists under Elder Kagemaru were forced to engage in Shadow Duel to obtain the Spirit Keys, there is a compelling reason to seize it through such means...

However, Ed, the little gray- Aster, clearly did not possess such an "item."

Furthermore, there were no dark tools that could force Sartorius to engage in Shadow Duel.

"..." Upon hearing his words, Aster Phoenix's resolute expression froze on the spot, his face darkening with frustration.

I also suddenly realized this biggest problem!

However, why does he get frustrated by this guy during duels, and even when he's not dueling, he gets frustrated?

The psychological trauma Aster felt towards someone suddenly grew even larger.

"So, how can we restore Sartorius to his former self, eliminate the will of the Light of Destruction, and awaken Sartorius's original consciousness?" Aster Phoenix asked Jiang He with barely suppressed emotion. Hearing this, even Alexis Rhodes and Jasmine Mindy looked at Jiang He with curiosity.

If the crisis of the Light of Destruction, Sartorius, can be resolved, it will be a good thing for the Duel Academy.

"This problem requires a lot of brain cells to think about, and I'm afraid I'll need to buy ten or twenty million worth of supplements to make up for it." Jiang He didn't give a direct answer, but instead shook his head and sighed with a troubled look.

"..." Alexis Rhodes, Jasmine Mindy, and the others couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

"..." Meanwhile, Aster Phoenix, had a dark expression and felt his fist harden!

I had a huge urge to complain.

Your family spends tens of millions on supplements?!

This guy is trying to rip him off again!

However, in order for his best friend to recover, and considering the less-than-pleasant situation between them, Aster ultimately held back.

With a dark expression, he handed Jiang He another bank card!

"That Sartorius of Light of Destruction, wants to destroy this real-world dueling arena, so he'll definitely try to seize the power that can do that," Jiang He said, accepting the second card with satisfaction.

"So, as long as you can obtain that power before then, forcing Sartorius to duel you, that's enough." "The power to destroy this world?! Could it be the Sacred Beasts, or something like the God Cards?!" Upon hearing this, Aster Phoenix's expression shifted instantly, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

Jiang He simply nodded and then shook his head, offering no further explanation.

While the Sacred Beasts Cards could indeed achieve something similar, they have now been resealed. Even if Sartorius wanted to obtain them, it wouldn't be easy, and the power of the Sacred Beasts is not so easy to control.

Even the Light of Destruction might not be able to do that.

According to what he knew, the Sartorius's target this time was the laser weapon, Satellite SOLA, possessed by the small country called the Kingdom of the Serpent God. The reason Jiang He didn't fully tell the little gray- Aster Phoenix was to avoid the Kingdom of the Serpent God, who held the activation key to Satellite SOLA, arriving at the Duel Academy to participate in the World Duel Tournament.

This guy deliberately sought out the opponent to challenge them, trying to win the two keys from them, and then went to find the Sartorius to deliver himself to his death...

He simply handed over the keys to the door for nothing.

After all, he remembered that this little gray-haired guy had done something similar in the original timeline.

They took the keys and delivered a bunch of heads to the Sartorius.

"If Aster Phoenix's deck is now also imbued with the power of Sartorius's Light of Destruction, then if he challenges people to duels according to the rules of the World Duel Tournament, wouldn't that also help Sartorius corrupt many people?" After the little gray-haired Aster turned and left with a look of doubt and as if he had gotten most of the answers, Camula suddenly spoke up as if he had thought of something.

"Uh... it seems that's true." Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips as he suddenly remembered (Qian Lihao).

Even Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome were stunned into place.

I've also figured out the crux of the problem!

Given Aster Phoenix's skill as a professional duelist, his whitening efficiency would definitely be much faster than that of ordinary Obelisk Blue students...!

However, given the opponent's mental fortitude, they should have realized what was happening and stopped immediately after defeating their first opponent.

With this in mind, Jiang He felt relieved again and stopped worrying about it.

If it's just one more person whose skin is stained white, then the impact on the situation within the Duel Academy won't be significant.

As long as that little gray- Aster doesn't pick on that Chazz Princeton Manjoume or Bastion Misawa and the others as opponents...

Chapter 368 The Same Cheat Code as the Jaden [Please Subscribe]

The next morning, inside the luxury cabin.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang He first checked his progress over the past two days. Because the Duel Academy was currently hosting the World Duel Tournament, the alchemy and dueling classes that were usually held daily were temporarily suspended for the past few days.

Therefore, his normally perfect "checking class progress" routine could only be reserved for this time of day.

[Name: Jiang He]

[Skills: Duel Spirit Sight Ability, Top-Tier Clear Mind, Mark of the Crimson Dragon - Quetzalcoatl Power, Earthbound Immortal Mark - Mark of the Hummingbird]

[Currently owned decks: One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck, Lava Golem Deck... Dark HERO Deck, Eldlich the Golden Lord Deck, Final Countdown Deck, Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck.]

[Emotion Points: 12500]

"Wow, they already have 12,500 Emotion Points!" Jiang He was surprised when he saw this number of Emotion Points.

Then he nodded with great satisfaction!

He remembered that after exchanging for the Final Countdown Deck and the Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck, he should have only had 6500 Emotion Points left. The extra 6000 Emotion Points were clearly provided by the professional duelist X, hired by the Sartorius, and by the unlucky old man Franz who stole the Winged Dragon of Ra pseudo-god card yesterday morning!

"That old cunning Sartorius is truly a great man...!" Jiang He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it weren't for the World Duel Tournament that the other side strongly promoted, there wouldn't have been so many easy targets coming to our door so quickly!

Immediately, Jiang He looked directly at the system's exchange option that had just been refreshed today. Because there had been more easy targets these past two days, he almost didn't have enough of the new Netherworld card set he had exchanged for.

[System Shop (refreshes every two days)] Today's options:

[Deck: Toon World Deck (Pegasus Edition)] 500 points.

[Deck: Paleozoic Deck (Ghostly All-Trap Deck)] 1500 points.

[Deck: Labyrinth of Nightmare Deck (Underworld Offense and Defense Torture Style)] 1500 points.

[Skill: Earthbound Immortal Mark - Demonic Ape Mark (Forcibly controls the Earthbound Immortal's manipulation power of the Duel Monsters Spirit summoned on the field.)] 4000 points.

"The Earthbound Immortal Mark: Demonic Ape Mark?" Jiang He's eyes lit up.

Finally, I got another Earthbound Immortal Mark!

This Earthbound Immortal manipulation power, which forcibly controls the Duel Monsters Spirit summoned on the field, is slightly "villainous" in its ability... but its effect is obviously quite good.

Perhaps he couldn't fully control God Cards of the Egyptian God Cards level through the Earthbound Immortal Mark: Demonic Ape Mark. Earthbound Immortal monsters of the Sacred Beasts level, or the Winged Dragon of Ra pseudo-god card from before, could be directly controlled by him once summoned!

Unlike the old man Kagemaru before, who needed the trouble of relying on the power of the Shadow Riders Barrier to barely manipulate it within the barrier's range, "Isn't this equivalent to the spirit manipulation power inherited from the previous life's soul of that hot-blooded idiot Jaden, the Supreme King Jaden...?" Jiang He muttered to himself.

I feel a little embarrassed (bafc) that I just easily got my hands on the biggest alternative version of the same "cheat code" from the Jaden!

Jiang He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Immediately, he decisively chose to exchange! "Buzz!!"

The next second, Jiang He suddenly felt a cold, eerie, and burning sensation on his wrist.

Immediately, a simple, dark purple Demonic Ape Mark lit up!

Then they quickly disappeared.

"That's... yet another Earthbound Immortal Mark?" Not far away, Alexis Rhodes and Camula were both stunned by what they saw.
