Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1385 Rage Energy

"That's really surprising."

He stood on the edge of a high-rise building, the metal railing beside him gleaming coldly. Three hundred meters below, the city's pulse awoke in the night. The traffic on the main road transformed into golden and red ribbons of light, their taillights trailing comet-like trajectories. Traffic lights switched rhythmically, and intersections constantly emitted new points of light, only to converge into thin lines in the distance.

"His name is Ed Phoenix, isn't it?" the throne asked.

“It seems so,” his son V said from behind. “He’s a top player in the world’s professional leagues. He’s rarely lost in the league so far. He’s a very strong guy.”

IV. He was given this by this person.

V didn't continue. The throne and his two remaining sons both looked down at the city.

Glass-walled office buildings slice neon advertisements into geometric patterns of light, while LED screens display the infectious, sunny smile of Yugen Fujiki, the dueling king, every seven seconds. At the winding overpass, the roof lights of double-decker buses trace discontinuous arcs along the curves. Occasionally, an ambulance pierces the traffic, its blue light piercing the flowing amber like a scalpel cutting through honey.

"It seems this dimension is indeed very dangerous," the throne said leisurely. "IV is just too arrogant, that's why he's like this."

III, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but say, "But Father, Brother IV did it for us, for you."

"Yes, I know, it's a real shame."

The emperor maintained his smile, as if the person who had just been arrested was not his son.

"Well, we still have to thank IV for his efforts; he has fulfilled his mission."

As he spoke, Yu Zuo pulled out a card from somewhere, squinted at the card in his hand, and then revealed a smile.

Neither of the two sons knew what it was; they could only vaguely see from behind that the card had a black border, so it was probably an Xyz Monster card.

Strangely, the text on this card is faint and indistinct, seemingly there but not quite clear. The card image is also not very clear; it's blurry and vaguely resembles something grotesque, appearing and disappearing as if it wasn't fully printed.

III and V both felt strange, but they also knew that it would be pointless to ask about things their father didn't intend to talk about, so they remained silent.

"It'll be finished soon. Thanks to IV's selfless dedication," the throne chuckled.

If You Xuan were here, he would immediately know what the card in the jade throne's hand is.

That is "NO. 69, the Crest of the God of the Crest," the ultimate trump card of the throne, his strongest NO. . However, the anime explains that this NO. . has a special nature; although it possesses terrifying abilities that surpass ordinary NO. . ., it is in a dormant state by default, and only sufficiently strong anger can awaken it.

According to the throne himself, he had almost lost his human identity after returning from the Balian world. He no longer had a normal human body, nor the ability to perceive emotions normally. In other words, he had even lost the capacity for anger.

He can't unleash his ultimate trump card if he can't be angry himself, so he can only let his sons do it for him. Let his sons do things that make others angry, or even let his sons be angry themselves, so that they can provide energy for the shield.

The more powerful and skilled a duelist is, the more valuable their anger energy becomes. That's why he had his sons take away Kaito Amagi's younger brother, and during the duel, he used underhanded tactics to bind his own pain sensation to Kaito's brother's, causing Kaito to become enraged.

He also had IV inflict the ICU wound on Ryoga Kamishiro's sister, causing Ryoga to go berserk as well. It was the rage of these powerful duelists that awakened his shield emblem.

The throne is doing the same thing now. IV used to relentlessly attack duelists, even using their families to enrage them. Now, although IV himself failed, he was also thoroughly enraged during his duel with Edward at the last moment.

IV himself was a first-rate duelist, which is why the throne said that although he gave it away, it was not without value, as he had fulfilled his mission.

Moreover, the Jade Throne discovered that many duelists in this fused dimension seemed to excel at this, using card games to enrage opponents. To be honest, this skill made the Jade Throne somewhat envious, because if he possessed such a unique skill, he wouldn't need to rack his brains to use underhanded tactics or gossip about the opponent's entire family.

If playing a card could awaken the coat of arms, how much trouble would that save?
Based on his limited observations in this dimension, the throne seems to be beginning to discover the root of this unhealthy trend of dueling.

Jade Throne narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling once more on the billboard not far away. At that moment, the billboard was displaying the image of a certain sunny and handsome dueling king on a loop, sporting an inspiring smile. Looking at that handsome face, Jade Throne smiled too.

“III,” said the throne.

“I am here, Father,” III said.

"Now I'm giving you a crucial mission," the throne said solemnly. "Go and defeat the Demon King of this dimension, the Duel King Fujiki Yugen."

III was taken aback.

Huh? I'm fighting the Duel King?
"What? You think it's impossible?" the throne smiled.

No, not at all.

III hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"it is good."

III turned and left, his eyes filled with determination.

Yes, he had already made up his mind and was willing to give everything for his family.

Whether it's him, IV, or V, everyone firmly believes this. As long as we do as our father says, as long as we do everything he wants to do and achieve all the goals he wants to achieve, things will eventually return to their original state.

It has to be this way.

III clenched his fist firmly.

Therefore, he had to do everything he could to absolutely not disappoint his father.

V, who had just overheard this, couldn't help but show surprise, and hesitated to speak. Only after III left did V finally ask the throne, "Father, do you think III is suitable?"

The throne merely smiled, its gaze fixed on the city below with an air of mystery.

V had no choice but to add, "I've heard that even Kaito was defeated by this person. It's probably not that easy for someone named Fujiki Yugen to be revered by so many in this world and recognized as the King of Duel."

"Yes, I know," the Jade Throne said with a smile.

V exclaimed in surprise: "You know him? That's III."

"III is a gentle and good boy, and has always been the most obedient one. No matter what you ask him to do, he will complete it beautifully."

Amyrlin smiled.

"Yes, it definitely will. I know III won't let me down."

After saying that, he turned and left, humming a cheerful tune, seemingly with no intention of saying anything more.

V had no choice but to stop asking questions and quietly follow behind her father.
