Chapter 910: The Unknown God
Chapter 910: The Unknown God
The Perfect Conclusion.
Yuuugen put away his Duel Disk and looked at the Queen, who had been mercilessly trampled by the bulky Dark World monsters, nodding in satisfaction.
This was exactly the feeling he was looking for.
"You're truly a guy with a terrible personality," Eye commented from the side.
"I just realized, do you always try harder to come up with disgusting strategies when facing ladies?" Eye asked.
It was as if he had a twisted mindset, thinking, "If I punch such a cute girl, she'll cry for a long time."
Yuuugen gave Eye a sidelong glance, "Then next time I encounter such an enemy, I'll go easy and just hand you over to them. How about that?"
Eye was startled and quickly laughed it off, "Ahaha, I was just joking. Our esteemed master has shielded me from so many troubles, and of course, I'm always grateful. Even if I were to be torn apart, I couldn't repay the master's kindness."
While saying this, Eye rubbed against Yuuugen's body with its large eye. If it had a tongue, it might have started licking him.
However, it wasn't just Eye; even the Dark World warriors who had been the main force in this battle were secretly astonished—
—We can actually play like this?
Indeed, Yuuugen's entire Dark World deck was obtained from the original Dark World spirits in the alternate dimension, so each card in the deck had a corresponding spirit. The entire deck, if brought to another world, would be a battle-hardened Dark World army.
Yuuugen didn't bring the original spirits from the alternate dimension, so the Dark World spirits existed in a projection-like state. Nonetheless, this army now effectively belonged to Yuuugen.
The previous ruler, Ban Shoume, nominally led the entire Dark World army, but he preferred using his own Evil HERO cards when dueling and never integrated his Dark World subordinates into a cohesive force.
As a result, these Dark World members, though nominally part of the same field and from the same deck, had fought independently for years without ever being united under a single Duelist.
In the anime, these Dark World spirits dueled frequently, and Touka alone had defeated several of them. However, despite being Dark World spirits, they didn't use Dark World decks when dueling in the anime, and they rarely used their signature move, "I summon myself." Instead, they preferred to duel with decks unrelated to their own.
After all, if the Dark World cards couldn't form a field and were used as individual cards, many of them, like the Mentor card Yuuugen just used, had ambiguous effects and were practically useless in actual duels.
Until now, after Ban Shoume's downfall, Yuuugen had united them from various dimensions into a single force, and these Dark World spirits suddenly realized—
—Wow, we're actually this strong?
Like Yuuugen had just demonstrated, clearing the field and depleting the opponent's hand in one turn, many of the spirits present were commanders leading their troops, and they also frequently dueled themselves. Each of them, imagining themselves in the Queen's position, couldn't help but shudder.
Especially after having their hands depleted and then encountering a Seal of Orichalcos, in this Dark World where dueling determined life and death, it was hard to imagine the despair, fear, and immense psychological torment the defeated would face in their final turn, with no cards to play and nothing left to do but stare helplessly.
This master was indeed powerful and twisted.
So, so likable.
Of course, after all, their name was "Dark" World, their race was Demon, and their appearance was intimidating. They were never part of the righteous camp in the spirit realm.
The more ruthless and powerful the master, the more these followers would be convinced, feeling they had made the right choice in following him.
"I never expected that there would be a sprite in the cult chasing you."
Yuuugen crouched next to the Queen. At this moment, the sprite was like a broken toy, kneeling with bent legs, her eyes staring blankly at the sky, like a delicate porcelain doll.
"I don't know either," Eye said helplessly.
"I know you don't know." Yuuugen nodded, "After all, you don't even know who you are."
Initially, Yuuugen didn't expect to gain any information from this sprite; he only approached to take her Deck, which had an enhanced Queen of Seduction that he found intriguing.
But at that moment, Yuuugen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He noticed something seemed to be emerging.
From within this Queen of Seduction.
The next moment, the doll-like face suddenly changed, and dark energy appeared on her pale complexion. Her mouth seemed to be forced open, and from her nose, mouth, and eyes, a terrifying aura burst forth.
Yuuugen had witnessed a similar scene before. Just like the initial Tragoedia, when it separated its fragments and possessed a host, the process of peeling away from the host's body created a similar effect.
A black mist-like substance erupted into the air, writhing and twisting without form. Soon, the dark energy gathered, transforming from a gaseous state into a solid entity, forming an enormous face.
The facial features were indiscernible, but the eyes, which seemed to gather all the malice and grudges in the world, stared coldly at Yuuugen.
"So, it was like this."
The shadow spoke in a deep, resonant voice.
"This is the current King of this world?"
Yuuugen stared into those eyes for a moment.
"I guess you're that 'Evil God'?"
"Indeed," the shadow replied without hesitation.
"It's rare to see a villain so unashamed and unpretentious, letting your followers call you the 'Evil' God," Yuuugen laughed.
"There's nothing to hide. The essence of this world is destined to be on my side."
The Evil God spoke.
Yuuugen: "How so?"
"This was predetermined from the beginning of creation. The future of this world will inevitably descend into darkness. It's a fate that's set in stone, regardless of the process or reasons. The outcome is certain.
All things are born from darkness and will return to it, just as every life is destined to meet death upon birth."
"That's an interesting theory," Yuuugen nodded and smiled, "But I have some doubts.
Why don't you come down yourself, and we can duel to exchange ideas and see if your argument holds water?"
The Evil God emitted a peculiar sound, resembling a laugh.
"Not so fast, King. Not today, not now."
The Evil God said.
"But it's not far off. Soon, I will come for you. Because you are...worthy of being chosen. Until then, watch over that sprite, and wait for us to come and retrieve her."
The voice grew softer as it spoke.
Until the black mist returned to a gaseous state, disintegrating and dissipating into nothingness.
Eye blinked a few times, looking at the vanished dark energy and then at Yuuugen.
"Chosen? You? What does that mean?"
Yuuugen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he remained silent.
