Chapter 840: It's Up to You
Ten minutes later, Aid Phoenix was already on his way to the airport.
He dialed You Xuan's number.
Within a few seconds, the call was answered, and You Xuan's voice came through.
"Aid? How's your trip going?"
"Ha, it's okay, but it would be much better if I had more time."
Aid smiled.
"The matter is already settled, and I'm on my way to the airport. But regarding the information you asked for about that sprite, there has been some progress, but don't get your hopes up too high."
On the other end of the line, You Xuan shrugged, "My expectations are always at the lowest standard. No problem, go ahead."
"Okay. First, what you really want to know is, I still have no clue about what that sprite is. I caught a Bishop here, but even this guy isn't clear about who they're after.
According to them, it's 'Divine Will'."
"Evil God Ha?" You Xuan asked, "These people actually call their faith by that name?"
"Yeah, it's pretty weird. But what they did tell me is why they need that sprite," Aid said, "They're looking for a hidden location in the Fairy Realm.
They either can't find the place and need specific location information, or the key to unsealing their god is on that sprite.
So, their top priority right now is to catch that sprite, no matter the cost."
"Oh?"
You Xuan glanced with interest at Big Eye, who was floating beside him. Big Eye seemed to sense the ill intent and immediately widened his eyes, startled, and retreated.
"What do you want to do to me? Let me tell you first, you can't have any improper thoughts about my body."
"That's assuming you even have a body to begin with," You Xuan laughed.
"Are you sure you have no memory of that hidden location at all?"
Big Eye shook his head vigorously like a rattle.
"See, I don't even remember who I am."
"I see. In that case, you don't seem to have any useful information," You Xuan said, lifting his chin and gazing at him for a moment.
Big Eye's eyes shifted uneasily, shrinking back.
"What are you up to now?" his eyes blinked, "By the way, they all say you're the Supreme King of the Duel World, but I always feel like you don't look like a good person."
You Xuan smiled enigmatically, "Nothing. I'm just thinking, since you have no memory and there's a group of people desperate to find you, I wonder how much money or rare cards I could get by selling you."
Big Eye was so scared that he jumped in place.
You Xuan ignored him and turned back to Aid, "Well, you've done a great job, Aid. Thanks, someone will discuss the compensation with you later."
"No, no, consider it a favor from me. It's no big deal, I was nearby, and it was just a small effort. Besides, it's a favor in return for the competition," Aid said, pausing for a moment.
"But more than compensation, I'd like to know... how's my father doing?"
"He's doing well, and he's stabilized at the Kaiba Corporation. You should be able to visit him soon, but you need to prepare yourself mentally," You Xuan said.
"Although he's out of danger, the chances of him recovering to normal... are slim.
"I know." Ed smiled, "But to be able to meet him and talk to him after all these years, it feels like a dream."
"This is the luckiest thing that could happen to me in this lifetime, and I've never even thanked you in person, Mr. You Xuan."
In fact, even the doctors and researchers from the Haima Group considered this a miracle—a soul trapped within a monster for ten years was able to escape the card and awaken, something that was almost impossible even with their world's top-tier black technology.
Well, if it weren't for the help of an incredible cat, it would have been impossible.
When You Xuan found Great Temple, even he expressed his dilemma.
He was a legendary genius alchemist, renowned for his skills. If anyone in the world came close to solving the 'Human Transmutation' conundrum, it was him.
But the challenge his student presented was one that even he found daunting.
The correct version is in Book 69! 6=9+Book_Bar Original Novel.
"The body has been dead for ten years, and you want me to retrieve a soul that has been separated from its physical form for a decade?" Great Temple exclaimed, "Why don't you ask the teacher to ascend to heaven?"
You Xuan smiled and said, "Teacher, you yourself have successfully detached from your physical body and survived, haven't you?"
Now, he even lives in the belly of a cat.
Great Temple huffed, "Do you think the Pharaoh is just some random cat I picked up on the street? Do you think it's the same no matter which cat's belly I live in? Do you know how much effort it took for me to become like this?"
However, You Xuan didn't pressure the teacher; he only hoped he would give it a try.
Great Temple sighed and agreed, "Fine, all because I have a student like you who loves to cause trouble."
So, under the collaboration of the world's top alchemist, the world's top black technology corporation, and the world's top card manufacturing company, this seemingly impossible task was accomplished.
Although without a physical body, they successfully separated Ed's father's consciousness from Blood Devil D's card and placed it within a temporary mechanical container created by the Haima Group.
It is estimated that by next week, Ed will be able to communicate with his father again through the Haima Group's black technology equipment.
"You've said your thanks, and now we're colleagues and friends."
You Xuan smiled.
"If you want to show your gratitude, just complete the development quickly. Speaking of which, I've been watching your recent matches, and you're trying out new ideas."
"Yes, you told me that there are more possibilities to explore with my Destiny Heroes that haven't been uncovered yet. I've been realizing more and more, you were probably right."
Ed spoke with excitement.
"I always thought I understood the Destiny Heroes well, but that was just my assumption. In truth, I've never truly known them.
Ultimate D is definitely not the endpoint for the Destiny Heroes, I can feel it. There's more power within the Destiny Heroes, they're calling out to me, waiting for me to uncover them."
"That's right, keep up this momentum."
You Xuan expressed his approval.
After Ed's father awakens and they exchange these new ideas, the Destiny Heroes should be able to undergo another upgrade.
Hanging up the call, You Xuan glanced at the terminal that ended the communication and smiled.
Good luck, Ed Boy, I'm rooting for you.
Phoenix Dad (Destiny Hero - Destroyer Phoenix Man) is counting on both of you.
