Chapter 750: The Eve of the Great Battle
Chapter 750: The Eve of the Great Battle
Are you having fun?
Decade was momentarily speechless.
To be honest, Decade was also a duelist who enjoyed the thrill of duels. He always had a great time during his duels. However, he knew that the fun You Xuan referred to was often different from what he meant.
When Decade was having fun, if his opponent had good luck, they might also enjoy the game.
But when You Xuan was having fun, it usually meant that his opponent was about to suffer.
So, the Tyrant from the foreign world, is he alright?
It was strange. They had spent so much time in the foreign world, traversing one dimension after another. Everywhere they went, the Tyrant was feared like a deity, and no one dared to defy him. It seemed that everyone took it for granted that he was the strongest being in the world.
Even though they had heard many legends about the Tyrant in various dimensions, when Decade heard that You Xuan had faced the Tyrant, he instinctively felt that the Tyrant must have suffered badly.
He had never actually seen the Tyrant himself, only heard the exaggerated tales from the foreign world. Yet, even so, he still instinctively felt that no matter how strong the Tyrant was, he would still be at a disadvantage against You Xuan.
"So, he's already been taken down?"
Decade suddenly felt a bit dispirited.
It was rare to encounter another formidable opponent, and he had a premonition that the credit for defeating him would go to You Xuan once again.
"Not this time," You Xuan shook his head. "This time, it wasn't the Tyrant himself. His main body is still in the dimension of Tyrant's Castle; he just used you as a medium to come here.
While I can temporarily drive him back, I can't completely eliminate him."
"What you're saying is making me afraid to sleep."
Decade was dejected. He was now wide awake, and even a thick-skinned person like Decade couldn't remain calm at the thought of being invaded by a great demon in his sleep.
"Exactly. So, I think we should take a day off tomorrow and go to Tyrant's Castle to resolve this issue once and for all."
You Xuan paused, staring at Decade for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," he hesitated for a moment before saying, "But this time, it might come down to you."
"Me?" Decade was taken aback.
"Yes," You Xuan said, "As I mentioned before, the essence of the Tyrant is the darkness within your own heart. I believe that even if I go to Tyrant's Castle and defeat the Tyrant himself, as long as you are still alive, the Tyrant will always have the potential to awaken again."
He said this because he remembered the plot of the original story.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, O'Brien, a strong candidate for the MVP teammate, managed to defeat the Tyrant by sacrificing himself. He claimed that the Tyrant was eliminated and only Decade's personality remained. However, it was later proven that the Tyrant was not truly destroyed but merely suppressed deep within Decade's heart.
The Tyrant was the darkness in his heart, and such darkness could never be completely eradicated. It could awaken at any moment given the right circumstances.
However, throughout the entire series of GX, Decade never faced the Tyrant on his own.
This was something You Xuan was currently considering. In the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!, great duelists always had to confront the darkness within themselves. Avoiding it or relying on others was not a true solution. Only by facing their greatest darkness head-on, defeating it, and even transforming it into their own strength could they achieve a breakthrough and transformation.
You Xuan had hesitated just now because he was wondering if Decade was capable of doing this now.
It was like a trial by ordeal, an opportunity for Decade to break through his bottleneck and achieve a qualitative leap, but it also came with great risk.
If Decade failed, his personality might be overwhelmed by the darkness within him, and the Tyrant would rise to his full strength.
However, even if that happened, it wasn't entirely irreparable.
In the original story, O'Brien has proven that as long as you win a duel against the Tyrant, there's a chance. However, it might be tricky, and there are many uncertainties, so it's not guaranteed.
But now, Jito has already faced the Adjudicator, met Hino Akari, and obtained the power of Ultraman. Yugen thought for a moment and felt that his growth should be sufficient. It was time for him to face the Tyrant.
"So, what now?" Jito asked.
"Let's go back and rest for a bit. We'll set off later," Yugen said, "It's time to put an end to all this."
He paused and turned to look into the woods.
"It seems someone's coming."
A moment later, the bushes were parted, and a handsome blond head poked out from behind them.
"Huh? Is it you guys?"
Kyouuchi Kyouya was taken aback.
He looked around, glanced at the pits and the mess all around, and then looked at the two of them with suspicion.
"The Tyrant just came by and said something that's a long story," Yugen explained, "Anyway, we have to move our plan forward. Let's prepare a bit and head to Tyrant's Castle soon."
"So suddenly?"
Kyouya opened his mouth to speak but stopped after a moment, finally saying, "Also, did a Phantom God appear here just now?"
Read the flawless version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to publish this novel.
Yugen was a bit surprised.
His recent duel with the Tyrant took place in a realm similar to a barrier, mainly because the Tyrant had enveloped this entire world in darkness. So, most of the noise and commotion were imperceptible from the outside.
Although the Dragon of the Divine Wings' might was powerful, it was, after all, just an egg and not the actual manifestation of a god. Perhaps from a distance, one might see a glimmer of golden light in the sky, but that's all; it should be invisible.
"Did you see it?" Yugen asked.
"Not really, but I have a very strange sense about it," Kyouya scratched his head, "It's hard to describe, but it feels familiar."
Yugen fell silent.
He remembered that Kyouya and the Dragon of the Divine Wings had a somewhat mysterious connection. Back then, Malik had played a dirty trick, using the Dragon of the Divine Wings, which had zero attack power, to directly attack Kyouya, defeating the duelist solely through mental damage.
Having endured that attack, Kyouya should have a deep understanding of the Dragon of the Divine Wings' divine power.
"It's both yes and no," Yugen coughed, "If you want to talk about the Dragon of the Divine Wings, it's a long story, but I'll introduce you to it next time we have the chance."
Kyouya didn't ask further, but he couldn't help but glance at Yugen again.
He never expected that after so many years since the Duelist City days, there would still be someone who could harness the power of the Dragon of the Divine Wings.
Recalling those glorious days, he thought about his former enemies and partners, each going their separate ways, and even his former enemy, Mr. Kaiba, came to mind with a hint of nostalgia.
Yugen had obtained this bird egg quite some time ago, but today was the first time he used it in a real battle. It wasn't that he didn't want to use it before; he had been in the testing phase, conducting various tests in the laboratory where he collaborated with the International Fantasy Society.
After all, he was attempting to harness the power of a Phantom God. Although it was a derivative card of the Phantom God and not the god itself, it was still a gray area. So, naturally, extensive testing was required to ensure safety before putting it into practice.
However, today's practical results also showed that the development was going smoothly.
The Tyrant was fortunate to become the first duelist in the world's history to receive a bird egg, a truly joyous occasion.
