Chapter 944: The Real Man
Chapter 944: The Real Man
You Xuan had long admired the Tombkeepers, and even without this invitation, he had always wanted to meet Malik and his sister.
The Tombkeepers possessed many treasures. For instance, the Valley of Eternal Rest, a prized artifact of the Tombkeepers, which You Xuan had obtained previously. There was also Mr. Izzy's prized possession, and the Royal Temple that Li Xi De had used in the last duel, as well as Isis' signature move, Incarnation Sect's Reversal of the Afterlife.
Indeed, the Tombkeepers had quite a collection of rare cards exclusive to their clan. Furthermore, Malik had established Ge Lu Si, the world's largest counterfeit card manufacturer, producing countless knock-off cards and even replicating the renowned Ai Ke Zuo Ti Ya. Although Ge Lu Si had disbanded, the foundation Mr. Izzy had built during that time was likely still formidable.
While counterfeit cards were their main product, it was unlikely that they only had knock-offs. Undoubtedly, they also possessed valuable cards from many years ago that were now out of print.
You Xuan had temporarily concluded his business with the Incarnation Sect, at least dealing a devastating blow to the Yeshen's influence in the present dimension.
You Xuan, donning his Revolver costume, made a brief stop at the Han Nuo Qi Shi Tou Bu headquarters. After quickly assigning tasks to deal with the remaining Incarnation Sect remnants, he immediately set off for Tong Shi Ye.
The Egypt Archaeology Bureau would be staying in Tong Shi Ye for approximately two days, according to Li Xi De, who mentioned that they had something in Egypt they wanted to show You Xuan. It was convenient that You Xuan could accompany them.
You Xuan landed in Tong Shi Ye at 9:10 in the evening.
He had informed Li Xi De of his arrival time, so even if Malik and his sister were too busy to greet him personally, they should have sent someone to welcome him. However, after disembarking and looking around, You Xuan didn't see anyone who seemed to be there for that purpose, which he found slightly odd.
Nevertheless, Li Xi De had already provided the address of the hotel where Malik and his sister were staying. Although You Xuan was perplexed by the Tombkeepers' hospitality, he didn't dwell on it and headed to the given address.
You Xuan hailed a car on the street and got into the back seat, providing the address. However, after closing the door, the car didn't show any signs of starting for a while.
Instead, the driver in the front seat didn't turn around but faced the window, chuckling softly, "Guest, did you get the address wrong? I believe you're supposed to go to the Jiche Jie, dominated by Yong Heng Hei'an, right?"
The driver's intentions were clear, even without revealing his identity.
You Xuan furrowed his brows slightly, and before he could respond, the Silent Magician materialized inside the car, raising his staff and firing a blast of white light towards the front seat.
The car window shattered with a loud crash, and the driver's seat was pulverized into pieces. Foam particles and other filling materials from the seat cushion filled the air, mixing with the shattered glass.
The driver, sitting between the shattered windshield and the steering wheel, couldn't escape the magical beam. His body disintegrated as if scattered by a water current. A large cloud of black gas emerged, suggesting that his body was primarily composed of Hei'an Qi Ti. The rest of his body transformed into countless scattered dark cards, flying in all directions as the magical force dissipated through the broken window.
However, these dark cards seemed to possess a will of their own. They changed direction mid-air, turned back towards the ground, and regrouped near the car. The black gas and cards reassembled into a human form, standing nonchalantly as if unaffected, even adjusting his sunglasses with a smug gesture.
You Xuan opened the car door, stepped out, and frowned.
"Nice to meet you," the man smiled. "Finally, we meet, Dueling King. I have no name, but I am 'The Real Man.' You can call me Mr. T."
This introduction was mysterious and pretentious, but You Xuan didn't hold back, immediately calling him out, "Darkness, is it?
Mr. T's expression changed slightly.
"How do you know about that?"
The force this person represented was none other than the final boss of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series, who, in the finale, erased and fused all beings on Earth, except for Judai, into his world of eternal darkness, ruled by Darkness.
However, the opponent facing You Xuan was not Darkness itself but its sole and exclusive henchman, Mr. T.
The reason for this statement was that Mr. T's design seemed to draw some inspiration from Agent Smith from The Matrix.
The image of a man in a black suit and sunglasses, with countless clones, serving a unified consciousness. Although they weren't Darkness, they directly represented its consciousness.
You Xuan found this peculiar.
In this short new semester, just after the beginning, various prominent bosses had started to emerge: Yubel, Zorc, and the three Demon Gods. And now, Darkness had appeared as well.
What was going on this semester? Had these bosses gathered with some sort of preparation?
"Todo Yugen, I thought you were just a slightly tricky duelist, but now that you know about Darkness, I have no choice but to eliminate you."
Once again, a similar black mass of darkness gathered, and numerous black cards assembled, forming the shape of a Duel Disk in Mr. T's hand.
He took a step forward and spoke coldly.
"It seems even more necessary to get rid of you sooner rather than later."
You Xuan frowned, sensing that this battle was inevitable. However, he wondered if Mr. T's appearance here was purely coincidental or if it had some connection to the Demon God that he and the Tombkeepers were preparing to confront.
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP 4000]
[Mr. T, LP 4000]
"Then, I'll start by attacking and drawing a card." You Xuan declared.
Although Mr. T was a henchman of Darkness, there were significant variations in strength among different individuals. Moreover, they were adept at handling various decks and employed tactics that left no trace.
No one could predict what cards he would play!
The first Mr. T in the anime had used Dark World monsters and the Five-Headed Dragon, but Judai had defeated them relatively easily. However, the Mr. T that appeared in the alternate dimension couldn't be underestimated, as he had taken out one of the top contenders for the MVP of the entire GX series, O'Brien.
"I activate the Spell Card Angel's Charity, allowing me to draw three cards from my deck and then discard two cards from my hand."
You Xuan sent two cards from his hand to the graveyard.
"Next, I activate the Equip Spell Premature Burial, paying 800 Life Points to Special Summon a monster from the graveyard in Attack Position."
The monster You Xuan intended to revive was, of course, one of the two cards he had just sent to the graveyard.
[You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 3200]
"Special Summon the giant plant in Attack Position from the graveyard!"
A vortex opened in the graveyard, and before the monster even appeared, green tentacles shot out. A huge mouth filled with sharp teeth opened, and a massive carnivorous plant emerged onto the field.
[Giant Plant, ATK 2400]
"The Giant Plant is a Double Monster, and while it's on the field, I can perform a second Normal Summon to gain its monster effect."
You Xuan explained.
"I perform the second Normal Summon of the Giant Plant to activate its monster effect, which allows me to Special Summon an Insect-Type or Plant-Type monster from my hand or graveyard once per turn."
You Xuan revealed the other card he had sent to the graveyard.
"Special Summon the Plant-Type monster, Carrot Man!"
