Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1492 The Legendary Hero

In response to Starlight's question, Guardian Maha gently closed his eyes and answered after a moment: "That's right."

He reopened his eyes and slowly said, "There's actually a sequel to that legend."

Mah continued, "The knights were moved by the sacrifice of the hero and the friendship of the Pegasus, realized the shame of their actions, and abandoned their thoughts of rebellion."

Afterwards, they gave the hero and the celestial horse a grand burial and knelt before the tombstone for a long time, repenting for their foolishness.

The hero and the celestial horse fulfilled their wishes, and their souls ascended to heaven. Peace and tranquility were restored to the nation. That is the whole story.

But he hadn't actually finished speaking. The heroes whose souls had ascended should have gone to the higher realm of astral light, but instead fell into chaos due to the intervention of evil forces.

“Yuma, Starlight, I saw the power of trust in your duel,” Maha said. “Trusting your comrades, protecting your comrades, and never giving up—that gave you the power to call for miracles.”

I'll try to draw upon your strength.

After speaking, Guardian Maha's body vanished completely. Countless points of light converged and transformed into the shape of a card. Yuma instinctively reached out his hand, and the card automatically floated into his palm, settling steadily there.

Yuma looked down at Naka.

NO.44 White Horse - Sky Pegasus. This is the very card they just played against.

Seeing that the matter was settled, You Xuan stepped forward and patted You Ma on the shoulder: "Congratulations, it looks like you succeeded."

"Ah, Yu Gen." Yu Ma turned around. "Are you alright? How's that stalker you mentioned?"

You Xuan gestured behind him. You Ma peeked out and saw the unconscious Balian man that Qi Ke was carrying on his shoulder at the doorway.

Yuma was taken aback: "Um... what is this?"

“He’s a Balian, his name is Drubey, something like that,” You Xuan said.

The starlight figure beside him looked at You Xuan with a somewhat strange expression.

This person doesn't seem to be just any ordinary Balian. The Astral Vision can sense that, although unconscious, this person possesses considerable energy.

Starlight knew that these powerful Balian warriors were not to be trifled with, and even he and Yuma couldn't say they were entirely confident of victory. Yet this Yu Xuan had managed to capture one alive; he was truly unfathomable.

You Xuan thought for a moment and added, "By the way, this ruin also seems to belong to him."

Yuma x Astral Body: "What!?"

The duo were indeed taken aback.

Is this ruin belonging to the Balian?
But the legend just now clearly stated that the owner of the ruins was a noble knight, so it's quite certain that he was human before.
The astral body was the first to react: "Was that knight's reincarnation a Balian?"

The astral body seemed to have instinctively sensed the conspiracy.

"That's about it." You Xuan waved to Qi Ke, signaling him to follow. "Let's go back to the Royal Key and talk in detail."

Drube didn't know how long he had been unconscious.

He couldn't even remember what had happened for a moment, only that he felt like he had taken a deep sleep and was only now slowly waking up.

Before he could even open his eyes, he could already hear people talking. They seemed to be talking about Pegasus, NO., ruins, and he even thought he heard his own name.

One of the voices sounded quite familiar. It was a lazy voice, and I couldn't immediately place it, but for some reason, just hearing it made me angry.
Drube: "!"

When he opened his eyes and saw the interior of the Royal Key spaceship, as well as You Xuan, You Ma, and the Star Entity, his mind was reeling as he remembered that he had been captured.

Drubey jumped to his feet with a start and yelled, "You bastard!"

But as soon as he uttered the words, he was astonished to find himself completely unharmed. He hadn't been hurt or restrained; it was as if the other party didn't care about him at all, casually tossing him aside—a treatment completely unlike that of a prisoner.

"Oh, you're awake!"

Yuma saw that he was awake and even seemed a little excited, so he turned around and picked up the Duel Disk.

"Perfect timing, you're awake! Let's duel!" Drube: "?"

what's going on?
He was clearly the defeated opponent, he should have already lost. But why did he seem completely unaffected despite losing, and why did this Tsukumo Yuma want to play another game with him?

why?
He was puzzled.

Yuma looked at Yugen: "As long as we beat him with the Pegasus, right?"

"Yes." You Xuan nodded, watching with interest as he crossed his legs and drank a beverage from a paper cup, his expression calm.

This is a secret he learned from the animation.

The seven No. cards buried within the seven ruins each correspond to a different life of the seven Valiant Emperors before they were corrupted by thousands of masters. Using the corresponding No. card in a duel can awaken the altered memories of that emperor, allowing them to recall their past lives, how their lives were manipulated by thousands of masters, and how they were cursed and plunged into chaos.

This is the simplest and most direct way to win over the seven emperors.

“Alright! You wait, I will definitely save you, Drubey!” Yuma said firmly.

Druby: "?"

Who are you? Are we that close?
No, why would I need your help before this? From whom? From that big devil behind you, sitting there with his legs crossed, drinking a beverage?
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I'm always ready for a duel!"

"Duel!" x2
【Yuma, LP4000】

【Drube, LP4000】

Yu Xuan watched the show from behind, waving lazily and saying, "Go Yu Ma!"

"Oh! Absolutely no problem!" Yuma said confidently.

Thus the duel began.

However, the opening rhythm is still the familiar pattern of the leader suffering setbacks - Yuma basically has to suffer some setbacks in every duel, highlighting that he can't play unless he's at low health.

Hope endured a series of blows alongside Yuma, while Drubé on the opposing side advanced rapidly. The opponent swiftly summoned their ace, "NO.102 Angel of Light - Radiant Ring," and launched a fierce attack on Yuma and the Astral.

Hope's effects were nullified by the Radiant Ring, and her attack power was halved, causing Yuma's side to retreat steadily and fall into a defensive posture. Meanwhile, Druby launched a fierce attack, and even evolved into "CNO.102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon", further expanding her advantage.

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends."

Drubey scoffed inwardly.

The legendary Tsukumo Yuuma and the messenger from the Starry Sky Realm are nothing special, far inferior to that great demon king from before. At this rate, I should be able to secure victory easily.

Wait until the next round.
"My turn, draw a card!" Yuma said. "I summon 'Sweat Rally Knight'!"

[Fight the Lala Knight, attack power 1600]

"The 'Shadow Lizard' in my hand can be Special Summoned when a Level 4 monster is successfully Summoned, so I Special Summon 'Shadow Lizard' again!"

Shadow Lizard, Attack Power 1100

Astral: "The equation for victory is complete. We're going to win, Yuma!"

"it is good!"

Yuma was full of fighting spirit and seemed completely undeterred by the disparity in the situation and health.

"I used a level 4 'Sweater Knight' and 'Shadow Lizard' to stack! The two monsters formed a stacking network, and I Xyz Summoned them—"

—NO.44 White Horse - Sky Pegasus!!!

Drubey: "!!!"
