Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1495 Are you afraid?

The newcomer was none other than Kaito Amagi.

After landing, Kaito nodded to Yuma, but his expression remained largely unchanged. This was Kaito Amagi's nature; he was neither fond of nor good at expressing himself, and aside from frequently getting angry while playing cards, he rarely showed his emotions.

Although there was a Varia named Drube present, Drube had already reverted to human form, so it was understandable that Kaito didn't recognize him as a Varia.

But when his gaze swept over the others and landed on You Xuan, his expression suddenly changed.

"It's you!"

Kaito was shocked and for a moment wondered if he had seen things wrong.

You Xuan just smiled and waved at him: "Oh."

That smug voice and that infuriating face—Kaito was certain he couldn't mistake it even in a dream. Instantly, his mind went on high alert, and he instinctively assumed a fighting stance, his Duel Disk already activated.

"Why are you in a place like this?!" Kaito shouted angrily.

That's understandable. After all, they met as enemies upon first meeting, and it didn't end very pleasantly.

Kaito knew perfectly well that he had probably gone to the other dimension as an invader last time, but he didn't expect the other side to be so powerful that even when he activated his special ability, he was no match for them.

And at this moment, this terrifying demon god who had merged with dimensions actually appeared here, in Heart City, in his own world, in his own city.

Anyone with a brain could tell that this person is probably up to no good.

At that moment, an even worse thought flashed through Kaito's mind: if such a terrifying guy came into his world, could anyone in this world really stop him?
Only after experiencing it firsthand did Kaito truly understand how terrifying this person's strength was.

"Wait a minute, Kaito!"

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, You Ma quickly stepped in front of them.

"It's a long story, but You Xuan... You Xuan is a companion, one of our own!"

"One of our own?"

Kaito looked at Yugen, feeling nothing but absurdity.

You Xuan shrugged and said, "Pretty much. I have no interest in your world, or at least your human world. I'm just here to chat with a Balian."

As he spoke, he glanced at Drubey beside him, seemingly unintentionally.

"After all, it's the Varia dimension that's eyeing my world, isn't it?"

Kaito: "."

Kaito pondered for two seconds, then put away his Duel Disk.

During their last encounter, he had a vague feeling that this great demon king might have held back against him; otherwise, he might have been dead by now. Although he didn't completely trust this demon, he knew that the other party's strength was probably greater than his own, so whether he believed him or not didn't make much difference.

So he temporarily ignored the Great Demon King and turned to Yuma, saying, "I have something to tell you, Yuma, Astral Body."

"Varian!?"

A moment later, Yuma was surprised after hearing Kaito's words.

"You mean, the Varia have already launched a large-scale attack on the human world!?"

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Druby beside him, as if inquiring.

Drubey frowned. "No, I've never heard of such a thing."

Kaito looked at Drupe: "Who are you...?"

Knowing that Kaito would likely find it difficult to accept Drube's Varia identity anytime soon, and that it might cause a long entanglement once revealed, Astral interrupted, "How did you find out, Kaito?" Kaito indeed didn't ask about Drube for the time being, and turned to his robot subordinate, Orbit 7: "Orbit 7."

"Yes, sir!"

Orbit 7 quickly responded and immediately deployed the projection. The robot's built-in projector displayed a map, on which countless tiny points of light appeared.

“Since I came back, I’ve been monitoring the energy fluctuations from various other dimensions,” Kaito said. “These are the fluctuations I’ve been monitoring over the past two days. It’s very likely that something from another dimension has invaded our world.”

And all of these reaction wavelengths are uniformly the same, exhibiting Balian energy characteristics.

"Is this for real? So many?!" Yuma exclaimed in surprise. "Hey, what if each of these energy reactions represents an invading Varian?"

"Yes."

Kaito said in a deep voice.

"If that's the case, then the invading Balians probably number in the tens of thousands."

Yu Ma gasped in shock.

This is now a full-fledged army.

Even Druby, who was standing to the side, frowned.

What's going on? An army of tens of thousands? How come I, one of the Seven Emperors, have never heard of such a thing before?
Is it that Vector again, up to something?
"Alright, I've already relayed the information." Kaito glanced at the astral body. "Fighting the Varia seems to be your job, doesn't it?"

The astral body, with its arms crossed, nodded: "Although I've only recovered a portion of my memories, it seems that's how it should be."

"Well, the notification's been sent. I'll leave the rest to you." Kaito waved his hand, turned around as if to leave, and said, "Orbital 7, see you there."

Yuma: "Wait a minute! Kaito, aren't you going to fight with us?"

Kaito paused slightly, seemingly hesitating for a moment.

He then looked down at his hands and said in a low voice, "A guy like me is no longer fit for duels."

Yuma was taken aback: "Can't...duel? What are you talking about? Kaito?"

“Like I said,” Kaito said calmly, “up until now, I have only been fighting for Haruto and my younger brother.”

But now that Yang Dou's condition is under control and he has been saved, I have lost my reason to fight. On the contrary, looking back on my journey as a duelist, all I have seen is mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Ultimately, my duels are merely tools for harming others. I, in that state, am no longer worthy to stand in the dueling arena.

Yes, he had long understood that someone like him couldn't be easily forgiven. It's just that he had intentionally or unintentionally ignored it all along in order to save Yang Dou.

Now that the duel had lost its meaning, he felt as if the deck in his hand weighed an ounce. Every time he tried to draw a card, the faces of those victims whose souls had been extracted because of his plunder of No. 1, and who could never wake up again, would appear before his eyes.

His body is now riddled with wounds from using the photon mode to seize NO. for so long, and even his heart is full of holes, his will to fight is almost broken.

As is well known, duelists who lose their conviction and the momentum to draw cards are unable to continue fighting.

You Xuan raised his eyebrows.

ZEXAL Dimension has changed a lot compared to the original work. In the original work, Kaito also fell into despair for this reason and considered giving up dueling, but he regained his faith after playing a game of cards with the leader.

However, the current ZEXAL dimension has changed drastically compared to the original work. If Kaito Amagi, one of the leaders of this dimension, were to fall into obscurity and retire from the card game world, it would indeed be quite unfavorable for this place.

You Xuan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "You talk a good game, but you're not actually scared, are you?"

Kaito's pupils contracted: "What did you say!?"
