Chapter 1126: Young Girl, Do You Want to Join Me?
Another loss.
Shizukana Yozora knelt on the ground, her legs bent outward, head tilted back to gaze at the sky.
If the second match had confirmed anything, it was the vast chasm between their strengths.
It wasn’t a gap she could bridge with a little more effort or a burst of determination. This person was on a completely different level from any opponent she had faced before, far beyond her reach.
During their first match, the opponent deliberately chose a Plant Deck to duel with her. At first, she thought it was a simple act of mockery, but later she realized that it might have been a way to show her her own weakness.
Yes, she had always despised and rejected her own power, so the strength she could naturally wield was also limited. She had barely scratched the surface of her potential, and even her proud Plant Deck was far from being mastered as she had imagined.
The opponent demonstrated a greater power and a higher ceiling, a way to tell her this.
But to do this, the opponent had to be fundamentally much stronger than her, strong enough to use a non-standard Deck and still convey his thoughts during the duel while treating it like a game.
This was what it meant to have room to spare.
The feeling was even more pronounced in the recent duel. The opponent was using the duel to tell her something, to remind her of the long-forgotten dreams and the original reason she became a duelist.
After achieving his purpose, he casually ended the duel, making the whole process feel like a minor effort.
And then there was Dewey.
For some reason, she didn’t feel as angry this time after losing, and even the sadness and hatred seemed to have faded.
It was as if the hollow part of her heart that had formed after Dewey’s death was filled with something else.
Commander Godwin slowly approached her.
Young Girl looked up, meeting the commander’s gaze, speechless for a moment.
“Are you interested,” the commander suddenly spoke, his voice calm, “in working for me?”
Yozora: "..."
She suddenly wondered if the commander’s brain circuits were a bit off.
Though the hatred had lessened somewhat, and her emotions had calmed, they were still enemies.
Dewey had taken her in during her most difficult times, in a way replacing the father who had abandoned her (at least, that’s how she felt). If she were to put it that way, the person before her should be considered a murderer of her father.
And yet, this person, after killing Dewey and knowing the deep-seated enmity between them, could so casually extend an olive branch.
Just how shameless did one have to be to do something like this?
“Like I said before, the Dragon Marked have always been warriors of protection,” You Xuan said. “A great Darkness is coming soon, and that will be the moment of your destiny, to face your fated enemies and dispel the Darkness that shrouds the world.
Whether you like it or not, the Shadow Marked will find you, and battle is your destiny.”
You Xuan paused, his voice lowering.
“Join us, and the Security Bureau will use our resources to support your fight. In fact, you should have already sensed it by now, the Lucky Cup is a tournament held for this very purpose.”
Gather all the Dragon Marked, and through your clashes, awaken your power. Only then can you fight against the vast Darkness that threatens to engulf the world.”
Shizukana Yozora spoke coldly, “Why should I fight for a world that hates me? Let it be destroyed if it must.”
“You should be the one to answer that question,” Youxuan smiled gently. “After all, you should have realized it during your Duel, right?”
Shizukana Yozora remained silent.
Yes, she wanted to be a Duelist, one who would be recognized and admired by all, a Duelist who shone brightly, not someone who was called a “witch” wherever she went.
“If you win, the Security Bureau will reveal the truth to the world,” Youxuan said calmly. “Everyone will know who stepped forward during the darkest hour.
The citizens will recognize the heroes who saved their city.”
Youxuan placed his hands behind his back and turned to face the arena. At that moment, all the floating projections above the arena displayed Yusei Fudo’s face.
Yusei Fudo, from the Satellite Zone, still bearing the mark of the lower class, had risen through the ranks to become the Lucky Cup champion and had earned the right to challenge the King.
Although not everyone, the audience was beginning to chant Yusei’s name.
“Let me tell you another secret,” Youxuan smiled at Shizukana Yozora. “The King, Jack Atlas, is also a man from the Satellite Zone.”
Shizukana Yozora’s eyes widened in surprise.
This was explosive news in the new Domino, a city where the King was revered. The pinnacle of the city, the symbol crafted by the Security Bureau, was actually from the lowly Satellite Zone?
“With the Security Bureau’s capabilities, even a poor person from the Satellite Zone can be turned into a legend. If you’re a diamond in the rough, we can make you shine. Of course, you must first prove that you are one.”
Youxuan paused and turned to look at Shizukana Yozora again.
“So, the question is, are you?”
Shizukana Yozora remained silent.
The young girl still didn’t speak.
“Of course, you don’t have to decide right away. You can see some things first before making your decision.”
Youxuan waved his hand.
“After the match, you can go back and see your ‘companions’ in the Paradise Movement. When you return, you’ll see what you need to see.”
This was also a subtle dismissal. Shizukana Yozora hesitated but ultimately said nothing, rising to leave quietly.
There was nothing more to say.
She couldn’t defeat him; that was an obvious fact. She didn’t even have a chance to fight him to the death.
But despite his overwhelming strength, his Dueling skills, and his power, he was surprisingly patient with her.
Shizukana Yozora was curious about what else he wanted her to see.
However, she still followed Youxuan’s advice and didn’t leave the arena immediately.
The Dragon Mark on her skin was throbbing faintly, as if telling her that there were still important moments in the match that she couldn’t afford to miss.
All the known Dragon Marked had appeared in this tournament: Jack Atlas, Yusei Fudo, Shizukana Yozora, and the young girl Long Ke.
Legend had it that there were five Dragon Marked, and the last one might already be here.
Shizukana Yozora could sense that something significant might happen in the upcoming final.
