Chapter 971: The Ultimate Darkness
"The effect of You Bei Er · Bei Zeng Wu De Ji Shi!"
You Bei Er roared angrily.
"Disappear, you annoying New Yuzak, and you too, New Universe Connector!"
The Evil Beloved Knight let out a howl, unleashing a powerful attack towards Jou's field with overwhelming force.
New Yuzak and Dark Panther both crouched down in defensive postures, but the transparent defensive shield that formed around them was useless. You Bei Er's attack pierced through the shield, blasting both New Yuzak and the New Universe Connector into pieces.
Jou raised his arm to block the attack: "New Yuzak!"
"Forget about your New Yuzak, Jou!" You Bei Er said, "You don't need him, and you don't need anyone! You only need me, and I alone am enough!"
Jou brushed off the smoke and dust from his body but paid no heed to You Bei Er's words. He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and said, "My turn, draw."
He didn't argue or try to debate You Bei Er's words, as if he hadn't heard them at all. This attitude only fueled You Bei Er's anger further.
"Have I even disappeared from your eyes now, Jou?"
"No," Jou replied, "I know that whatever you say now isn't your true intention. Your perception has been twisted, and to a large extent, it's because of me. If I hadn't pushed you away and kept you from my side, perhaps none of this would have happened."
Jou shook his head but quickly continued, "But from now on, it will never happen again. I will bring you back through this duel, and this time, we will never be separated."
"I activate the magic card 'Angel's Favor.' I draw three cards from my deck and discard two cards from my hand."
Jou displayed one card before discarding it.
"I discard a magic card, 'Bu Shang De Bao Zha.' By discarding this card from my hand, I draw two more cards from my deck."
As Jou continued his turn, You Bei Er kept complaining. Sometimes he cursed New Yuzak, and other times he berated You Xuan, blaming them for taking up space in Jou's heart and making him feel unappreciated.
"I activate the magic card 'O - Chao Yue Ling Hun,' which allows me to special summon an Elemental Hero normal monster from my graveyard to the field."
Jou raised his arm, holding up the magic card, and the burning purple flame of the letter 'O' flew off the card, as if communicating with the underworld. The silver-white hero, who had been sleeping in the graveyard, suddenly soared into the sky, spinning twice and a half in mid-air before gracefully landing.
[Elemental Hero: New Yuzak, Attack Power 2500]
"New Yuzak, it's New Yuzak again!"
You Bei Er continued cursing.
"How much do you like this monster?"
New Yuzak didn't respond but instead wrapped his arms around himself, floating in front of Jou's chest. He remained silent, floating in the air with a natural air of confidence.
"New Yuzak is an important partner of mine, and so are you, You Bei Er. You are all irreplaceable partners to me," Jou said, "And there are many other important companions. Without them, I wouldn't have made it this far.
"Normal Summon, 'New Space Xia · Da Di You Shu'!"
A rumbling hum emerged from underground, followed by the sound of breaking earth and stones. A silver-white drill, spinning at high speed, burst out from beneath the ground. The drill split into two parts, revealing a fluffy mole's head.
[New Space Xia · Da Di You Shu, Attack Power 900]
If Jou had said to any of his other monsters, "Without it, I wouldn't have come this far," it would have been a polite gesture. But when he said this to the mole, it was genuinely sincere. As the only one among the basic New Space Xia who had ever been on the Forbidden and Limited Card List, the mole's status was undeniable.
"From the field, return 'Elemental Hero: Neo Yuzak' and 'Neo Space Panzer: Da Di You Shu' to the deck, and perform Contact Fusion!"
Jou raised his fist.
"The power of the earth, piercing through the galaxy—
—Elemental Hero: Da Di Neo Yuzak, appear!"
Neo Yuzak spread his arms, and his body was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden light, making even his silhouette difficult to discern. Da Di You Shu's body also transformed into pure earth energy, empowering Neo Yuzak. As the golden light blossomed, a brilliant flash passed, and Neo Yuzak was now adorned with heavy earth armor. The silver drill on Da Di You Shu's head had also become Neo Yuzak's arm.
[Elemental Hero: Da Di Neo Yuzak, Attack Power 2500]
You Bei Er spoke, "Another transformation? But no matter how many fancy forms you take, it's useless! No matter how strong your monsters are, they can't break through my defenses!"
Jou said, "Elemental Hero: Da Di Neo Yuzak's effect activates! Once per turn, return one monster on the field to its owner's hand!"
You Bei Er: "!"
Such a sinister effect! You Bei Er glared at Da Di Neo Yuzak, recalling how Jou used to be a bright and straightforward boy, but now he had changed so much. It must be the fault of that damned Duel King. Yes, these new universe people had such sinister effects, and they were likely to blame as well.
"Xing Yun Kong Dong!"
The most powerful small spell in the universe, the 69th book, was about to be released!
At Jou's command, Neo Yuzak's drill arm struck out from afar. Above You Bei Er, a black hole-like vortex opened, and the laser from the drill struck her, pushing her massive body towards the black hole, gradually sucking her into the vortex.
You Bei Er looked up, gazing at the enormous demon being sucked into the black hole, and for a moment, her eyes lost focus.
She suddenly asked, "Jou, you know that after experiencing the second darkness, what awaits at the very end is the final darkness. What is it?"
Jou replied, "You Bei Er's third stage, the final stage?"
He had also heard You Xuan mention it.
You Bei Er nodded.
"To protect what's important, sacrificing the most precious things to gain power. The process is painful, but it's not uncommon. In any world, throughout history, there have always been those willing to sacrifice for their loved ones.
To protect, one transforms into a despised form, even despised by those they aim to protect, giving birth to the 'Evil Beloved Knight' from such pain.
But this isn't the end."
She paused, her expression filled with sadness.
"After losing everything and being despised, only loneliness remains. Eventually, even the qualification to be despised is lost, forgotten entirely, wandering alone in endless darkness, a loneliness that pierces the heart."
Jou: "You Bei Er..."
The next moment, You Bei Er raised her head and said, "Jou, let me show you the final darkness I've realized after tasting sorrow in endless loneliness. I activate a Trap Card, 'An Zhi Shuang Guang'!
Sacrifice one of your own Dark Attribute monsters with an Attack Power of 1500 or less to destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the field!
I sacrifice my 'You Bei Er · Evil Beloved Knight' with an Attack Power of 0. Disappear once more, Neo Yuzak!"
Jou frowned, "Sacrificing yourself to destroy Neo Yuzak, a mutual destruction?"
"No, it's not mutual destruction, but evolution." You Bei Er spoke coldly. "When this card, 'You Bei Er · Evil Beloved Knight', leaves the field, Special Summon the final form from your hand, deck, or graveyard—
—You Bei Er · Ji Du Shang Bu De Long Ji!!!"
