"Absolute Zero Hero, an extremely powerful hero capable of instantly annihilating the opponent's monsters," the Black-clothed Man said in a hoarse voice, "but as long as 'Prime Material Dragon' is present, that ability is useless."
"I know." Youyu raised his hand, "But this works! I offer 'Vision Hero Increase', 'Vision Hero Vyon', and 'Destiny Hero Malicious' as tributes!
The power of destruction brings the end of all destiny, transforming into the ultimate hero's descent—
—Destiny Hero Plasma!!!"
The three heroes' figures disappeared into thin air, and the ground turned into a pool of blood. A dragon-like arm reached out from it, and the hero's blood-red magnificent body emerged, spreading out ghastly, blood-soaked bone wings!
[Destiny Hero Plasma, Attack Power 1900]
Young Judai was instantly awed by this hero he had never seen in practical combat before.
"Amazing!" he said dumbfounded, "Is this also a hero?"
In fact, compared to a hero, this ghastly bloody image should be more fittingly called an "anti-hero." Its villainous dominating aura, ghastly bloody image, and frenzied atmosphere were fundamentally different from the "Elemental Heroes" series that Judai loved.
"While Destiny Hero Plasma is on the field, the effects of all opponent's monsters are negated."
An endless field of blood enveloped the area, and the blood mist shrouded the entire field. Those powerful dragons all lowered their noble heads within this hero's domain, losing their respective powers.
This way, whether it's Dragonic Knight's "Dragon-Type cannot be targeted by effects" ability or Prime Material Dragon's "can negate the effect of Destroy Monster," all were rendered null under this hero's authority.
"Plasma's effect, once per turn, can treat an opponent's monster as an Equip Card to equip to itself, gaining half of that monster's attack power."
Youyu raised his hand and pointed directly at the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
"What I want to absorb is the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!"
Scarlet tendrils shot out from the broad bone wings, capturing the body of the Darkness Metal Dragon without a moment's hesitation, instantly absorbing the gigantic dragon into Plasma's wings, transforming it into nourishment for the hero.

"Quick-Play Magic 'Form Change'." Youyu announced, "Return the 'Hero' Fusion Monster on the field to the card deck, and Special Summon a Masked Hero of the same level and different attribute.
I return Level 8 'Elemental Hero Absolute Zero' to the card deck, Form Change!"
The Black-clothed Man quickly reacted: "When Absolute Zero Hero leaves the field..."
"Exactly." Youyu nodded, "Destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"
The hero's pure white body faded into an illusory shadow and disappeared, and the crystal ice domain rapidly expanded, freezing everything in the extremely cold space, freezing all the Dragon-Type monsters that filled the opponent's field completely!
Absolute Zero!
Absolute Zero took down four enemies!
At the same time, with the hero of Absolute Zero exiting, his body was surrounded by light, and the form of a new hero would emerge here!
"By the blade of gleaming justice, tear open the darkness and bring light—
—Masked Hero Koga!"
Golden armor, diamond-like blue goggles, and a golden light stream entwining the blade like a sharp fang, slicing through all darkness in the world!
[Masked Hero Koga, Attack Power 2500]
The outcome was determined, all resources of the Black-clothed Man were used up, the field cleared, leaving no suspense.
But he remained unflustered. A cold, peculiar gaze shot out from beneath his black lens, sweeping over Youyu.
Then he spoke softly, as if to himself.
"Just as he said... Duel King Youyu indeed holds value for observation."
What does that mean?
Youyu was puzzled for a moment, but this was not going to make him let go of the victory within reach.
"Masked Hero Koga." He raised his hand, giving the order, "Direct attack."
The Masked Hero soared out like a beam of golden light, its sharp sword like biting fangs slicing across the Black-clothed Man's body.
The figure of the Black-clothed Man was hit head-on, golden light exploding in his chest. Without a sound, his body was lifted off the ground, rotating mid-air, and like a kicked-out ball, he crashed heavily into the wall behind him, falling with a thud amidst the rising dust.
