Chapter 1531 The President's Self

[Dark Thorns, Attack Power 2000]

“I have another monster effect on my field, ‘Eye of Darkness’,” Darkness said. “When ‘Eye of Darkness’ is on the field in Attack Position, I can Normal Summon one of my Level 1 monsters without Tribute.”

Therefore, although 'Dark Thorns' is a Level 6 monster, it can be Normal Summoned without tribute.

Darkness has a total of five set cards in the back row. Three of them had already been activated in the previous turn: "Void", "Infinite", and "Darkness 1". However, those three cards have now been set again and returned to their set state.

This is another effect of the Field Spell "Darkness". As long as Darkness is on the field, during the End Phase of each turn, all face-up Spell & Trap Cards on the controller's field will be reverted to face-down.

Furthermore, the positions of the five face-down cards will be randomly swapped again, and the controller cannot view them at will.

But both sides knew that Darkness had definitely checked and confirmed the positions of the backcourt cards, and he knew where each of his cards was face down.

While "Darkness" is on the field, Darkness can view its backrow whenever the opponent summons any monster.

At the end of the previous round, Kaiba summoned "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" using the effect of Ancient White Stone. At that time, Darkness had a chance to confirm his face-down card position again.

“Dark Thorns? Even a high-level monster like that can’t defeat my Blue Eyes,” said Kaiba. “Come on, let me see what other tricks your traps have up their sleeves.”

"Right on my mind."

Darkness spoke coldly, and once again activated his trap chain.

"Activate the perpetual trap 'Void', followed by the perpetual trap 'Infinity'."

The Void and Infinity, whose positions had been randomly changed, flipped again. This time, luck seemed even better than the last turn, with two face-down cards between the positions where Void and Infinity were activated.

Darkness: "Then both face-down cards between 'Void' and 'Infinity' will be activated! This time, these two cards will be randomly face-down between them."

Perpetual Trap 'Darkness 2'! Then comes Perpetual Trap 'Darkness 1'!

Between nothingness and infinity, two traps are activated one after the other in a sequence from left to right.

Although they appear to activate almost simultaneously, the activation of these two face-down cards is actually sequential. Following the random face-down order, "Darkness 2" activates first, followed by "Darkness 1".

The order of activation is also important. According to the general effect of the Dark Trap Card series, the effect of the card activated first can be applied, and the effect of the card activated later becomes the same as the effect of the Dark Trap Card activated first.

For example, the effect of Dark 1 is "destroy one card on the opponent's field". If Dark 1 is activated first and Dark 2 is activated later, then the effect of Dark 2 will also become "destroy one card on the opponent's field", so in total, two cards can be destroyed.

At this point, Darkness's situation on the field is that "Darkness 2" is activated first, followed by "Darkness 1". Therefore, Darkness 1's card-destroying effect cannot be activated and instead becomes the same as Darkness 2's effect.

"The effect of Darkness 2 is that you can increase the ATK of one monster you control by 1000 until the End Phase of this turn. Also, all subsequent Trap Cards with 'Darkness' in their name gain the same effect."

As Darkness spoke, a resonant current began to emanate between the two traps, Void and Infinity. Transparent electric lights surged and intertwined, attracting each other and charging into the two dark traps in the middle, like churning thunderclouds.

"I've activated two Dark Trap cards, Dark Trap 2 and Dark Trap 1, so I'm increasing the combined attack of 'Dark Thorns' on the field by 2000 points!" The lightning brewing within the two Dark Trap cards was unleashed in one go, charging into the Dark Thorns. The giant plant covered in thorns was instantly imbued with lightning effects; dazzling arcs of electricity coiled around the waving thorns, crackling and spewing static, filling the air with a burnt smell.

【暗冥荆棘，攻击力2000→攻击力4000】

"The battle has begun," Darkness said. "Dark Thorns, attack 'Azure-Eyed Silver Dragon'!"

The electric current roared and crackled through the air. Thorns lashed down, and while the Azure-Eyed Silver Dragon possessed strong resistance to effects, it had no means of defense against combat damage. Even its armor-like body shattered under the high-pressure thorns.

And this attack was not just an attack from the Dark Thorns.

In that instant, Darkness also poured a portion of his consciousness into the attack.

Darkness is the embodiment of all dark wills in the world. In GX's explanation, it is said that duelists all have a vast darkness in their hearts, and all the darkness and negative emotions infect one card after another. All the dark energy flows into the underworld through these infected cards, which is the realm of Darkness.

Darkness is the law of that underworld, the embodiment of the rules of darkness. He has traversed the inner worlds of countless duelists, absorbing the darkness within them. From this, he developed the ability to manipulate inner darkness to interfere with cognition, and even to cause opponents to lose their fighting spirit and willingly assimilate with him during duels.

Therefore, he firmly believed that the stronger a duelist, the greater the darkness within them, and no one could escape this theorem. Furthermore, once this darkness was found and manipulated, winning or losing the duel became irrelevant, as the opponent would naturally submit to him.

"I've been wanting to see this for a long time, Seto Kaiba," Darkness sneered. "Show me your darkness!"

Taking advantage of the moment the attack struck, as the Azure-Eyed Silver Dragon was shattered, it was as if a gap had been torn in the seahorse's defenses. Riding the attack of the Dark Thorns, Darkness slipped in and invaded the opponent's mental world.

The legendary duelist Seto Kaiba, let me see what's going on.
Darkness opened its eyes expectantly.

Then, I was immediately stung so badly that I could barely open my eyes.

The light, boundless and dazzling, made him feel uneasy.

Then, as his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light, he opened them and tried to see clearly.

Darkness was stunned.

He saw Seto Kaiba himself.

But this was not a normal state. He was in a world of dazzling light, but the sole and supreme source of light that made this world so radiant was not the sun or anything else, but Seto Kaiba himself!

If Seto Kaiba were to appear in the real world, he would probably be a thousand meters tall? Or ten thousand meters tall?
Darkness was uncertain because he couldn't see the other's head from his perspective. It was simply too enormous, so enormous that even this vast expanse of heaven and earth couldn't contain it, and its entirety was obscured.

His entire body radiated a terrifyingly bright light that illuminated the entire world, making Darkness look like an insignificant insect at his feet.

Is this Seto Kaiba's inner world?
Darkness was shocked.

What does it mean?
Does this mean that this person's ego has become so inflated that even his own heart cannot contain it?
