Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1413 Fica Deploys
The Magician's Apprentice - Dark Magician Girl, 6-star, Mage race, Attack power 2000.

At first glance, this panel seems very familiar; you might think, "Isn't this the classic Dark Magician Girl card?" But upon closer inspection and looking at the card art, you'll find...
Damn, it really is a classic skin.

Yes, that's right. Besides having the same rank, race, and stats, even the card art is basically the same. You could easily mistake it for an alternate art of Dark Magician Girl. It seems even the designers felt that Dark Magician Girl's design, as one of the early star characters of Yu-Gi-Oh!, was already excellent enough and didn't need much modification, so even when new cards were released, she didn't get a new look.

Of course, this judgment is not without reason. After all, with fair skin, soft flesh, blonde hair, and blue eyes, what more could you ask for?

In fact, it's not just that they look and have the same stats; this new card can even be used with the same name as "Dark Magician Girl." Furthermore, this card can be Special Summoned by discarding a card from your hand, so although it's a Level 6 card, it's basically available in your hand.

Furthermore, when this card is summoned, it can retrieve one "Golden Chest of Light" from the deck to the hand. This effect is crucial, as everyone knows that "Golden Chest of Light" is the most critical core card in the entire Golden Chest deck series. Without this core card, most other cards become essentially vanilla cards.

The existence of this Dark Magician Girl card is equivalent to adding a key search point to the Golden Chest, and can be regarded as the starting point of the deck.

Finally, this card's ATK increases by 300 for each "Golden Chest of Light" monster in both players' Graveyards. This effect is clearly a homage to the original Dark Magician Girl's "Sacrifice your master to become stronger" buff, except this time the buff has been upgraded. Now, the sacrifice target is no longer limited to the master; sacrificing any teammate can also make you stronger.

Of course, her master was also included in the Light of the Golden Chest family pack. Atum's strongest servant, the classic villain "Dark Magician," also has a Golden Chest exclusive outfit.

Black Magician - Dark Magician has the exact same stats as the original. It can be Special Summoned unconditionally when there's a Golden Ark on the field, and its card name can be used as the original "Dark Magician". Furthermore, if this card is destroyed by a card effect, it can be immediately revived if there's a Level 5 or higher monster on the field, and then you can search your Deck for one "Dark Magician" related Spell/Trap card.

This Dark Magician card connects the elements of the Golden Chest of Light series and the Dark Magician series, establishing a link between two unrelated decks, much like how the game and the departed Atem are still fighting side by side.

Unfortunately, the Master's Golden Cabinet version of Yu Xuan hasn't been shipped yet; there's only a Black Magic Girl.

However, this Dark Magician Girl card, besides being part of the Golden Cabinet series, also contains the "Magical Girl" tag. In other words, this deck is also connected to the "Magical Girl" series he was using before.

Speaking of which, Yu Xuan suddenly had this thought again—it seemed that he was indeed accumulating more and more Yugi Muto cards.

He still thinks about the day he received the gold vault and the dream he had that night from time to time.

What level has Yugi Muto reached now, so long after DM ended?
What was his mindset when he entrusted the gold vault to me?

Super Dimension.

"It's unbelievable!"

Mr. Xincheng stood on the circular, suspended platform, adjusting his square-framed glasses.

Even that jade throne...

He glanced furtively at Fika on the throne behind him. Dr. Fika remained silent, but sat upright in his chair, half his face shrouded in shadow, looking gloomy and seemingly unhappy.

Mr. Xincheng had also heard about the feud between the Jade Throne and Dr. Fica. He knew that the Jade Throne was an enemy to their camp, and a rather threatening one at that. Therefore, he should be happy that the Jade Throne had been dealt with.

Despite having clearly eliminated a high-threat opponent, Mr. Xincheng felt no joy whatsoever.

If I had to explain why...
"Just how dangerous is this fused dimension?" Xin Cheng asked in a deep voice. "Even that jade throne..."

In the early stages of the anime, the Throne was indeed a top-tier character in terms of regular combat strength. Even Kaito, who gained his brother's power and activated his card-printing abilities, couldn't defeat him. Apart from the even more powerful Yuma Starlight duo, who could combine their powers through dual cultivation, no one could reliably defeat the Throne in the early stages.

Even with such power, the Jade Throne, after only a short time in the Dimensional Fusion, suffered a crushing defeat and never returned.

At this moment, in Mr. Kokoro's eyes, this fusion dimension was like a bottomless abyss, from which anyone who entered would never be able to escape. Kaito was the only one who had gone there and returned—but even he, having suffered severe injuries, was still bedridden.

It was truly a hellish place. But at that moment, the dark vortex in the center of the sealed room began to churn. At first, it was just a faint, dark red halo, like magma peeking through a crack in the earth. But in an instant, dozens of scarlet beams of light, like awakened tentacles, pierced the dome, transforming into a constantly shifting black shadow in the confined space. It billowed like thick smoke, then, like a half-mist, it transformed into a humanoid silhouette. The moment a pair of red lights shone, the entire room seemed to dim. It seemed not to be eyes, but rather two holes leading to a scorching hell.

That was a projection of the Balians.

“My patience is running out, Fika,” the Balian said.

Fica looked up at the dark figure: "Things have changed too quickly. I need to readjust our deployment, gather new manpower, and obtain new intelligence."

“No more excuses, Fica. Your methods won’t work, your men are incompetent, so you will have to do it yourself. We’ve given you the power of the Balian; you should be able to do it.”

After a pause, the Balian's red eyes widened, and it sounded like he was letting out a piercing laugh.

"Or is it that it doesn't matter if your lovely son never wakes up again?"

The mist churned in the sky, transforming into a projected image resembling a real-time monitoring system. The image showed Yang Dou in a coma.

Fica pondered for a few seconds, then said, "I understand. I will go myself."

"Ha, great, then I'll wait for your good news."

The Balian let out a cackling laugh, then gathered its energy and disappeared into the vortex at the bottom of the room.

Mr. Xincheng asked worriedly, "But..."

"fine."

Fica stood up from his chair, staring at the vortex below, and said coldly.

“What he said makes sense. Since other methods don’t work, I probably have to do it myself.”

What the other party said was true. He had indeed obtained the power of the Balians and was very confident in his current strength.

“There is one more thing, sir,” Mr. Xincheng said.

Fica glanced at him: "What?"

"Hmm, he's one of our duelists. A duelist named Ghosh (Left Hand)."

Fica's face showed a hint of recollection: "I vaguely remember. She was the partner of the woman called Right Arm (Druwa). It seems that Druwa was sent to merge dimensions before and has not returned yet."

What's wrong? "

"Yes, that's the one. Ghosh disobeyed orders earlier today and infiltrated headquarters on his own initiative, and then..."

Mr. Xincheng sighed.

"He went to the fusion dimension."
