Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1532 As a Duelist

Darkness has seen countless hearts and understands the darkness within the hearts of countless duelists.

He knew the duelists' greatest fears, and because of that, he knew their weakness. This was one of the reasons for his confidence. Darkness believed that all humans were pretty much the same: weak, incompetent, and easily succumbing to their inner fears; assimilating into Darkness was their only destiny.

Even he had to admit that this was the first time he had ever seen someone with such an inner world as Seto Kaiba.

How can someone's ego inflate to such an extent?
Is this Seto Kaiba's self-perception? Limitless power, as fiery and radiant as the sun?
It's as if he sees himself as the only light in the world, bigger than all the other lights in the world combined.

This is too outrageous.

However, just seconds later, Darkness quickly realized that he was probably being too far ahead of his time.

Because he soon saw what he was looking for: Seto Kaiba's inner darkness.

Darkness was shocked to discover that even this radiant and enormous Seto Kaiba had moments of dimness.

Just as dark clouds obscure the sun, the giant seahorse was similarly shrouded by something far greater. This being was so immense that it could suppress even the seahorse when it was swollen to its limit, and the darkness was so dense that it could extinguish even the light from the seahorse that illuminated the entire world.

The dark clouds that blocked out the sun and the towering mountains that loomed over the seahorse also had a distinctive shape: a striking and somewhat arrogant seafood-like hairstyle, and a cloak that resembled a school uniform but looked more like a cape.
The first Duel King, Yugi Muto. No, or rather, the legendary Pharaoh who is long gone.

"Ughhh!"

Darkness was jolted back to reality and staggered back two steps.

If his skull goat head had the ability to sweat, it would definitely be drenched in sweat by now.

He found what he was looking for. The darkness within Seto Kaiba's heart was the rival he could never surpass, the ancient king who would always be above him.

The repeated defeats had almost become his inner demons, undoubtedly the greatest darkness in his heart.

But why? Why is this person's inner world still so powerful even with such a vast darkness lurking within?

It was so powerful that even Darkness couldn't do anything about it; it was so powerful that even just taking a peek inside made him feel as if his primordial spirit was damaged, forcing him to retreat in a sorry state.

"Did you see that?" the seahorse sneered.

Darkness: "!"

Did this guy even realize that I was spying on his mind?
The seahorse, however, didn't seem to care at all, and crossed his arms, sneering, "That's right, there's nothing to hide. The biggest darkness in my heart right now is 'that guy'."

As long as I haven't beaten that guy, I'll never be able to admit my worth, nor will I ever reach the highest peak I crave.

After a pause, the seahorse raised its fist.

"But even the frustration of losing to that guy is part of me as a duelist! I want to win, and one day I will beat him. But until then, I'm not afraid of failure!"

He glanced at his hands, as if speaking to himself.

"I'm not afraid anymore."

Darkness took a half step back and gritted his teeth.

This guy, even with such a huge inner demon, even though he's never been able to defeat the Pharaoh, still manages to maintain such an inflated ego.
This was completely beyond Darkness's expectations.

Seto Kaiba is unlike any of the duelists I've ever met or tasted who have experienced inner darkness.

"Tch, fine. I'll defeat you in a duel then," Darkness said. "The effect of the field spell 'Darkness' will also activate again during the end phase of the turn!"
At the end of each round, all face-up spells and traps on my field revert to their face-down state!

As he spoke, he put all four of his Continuous Trap Cards that he had already opened on the field—"Void," "Infinite," "Darkness 1," and "Darkness 2"—back face-up.

"Then we'll randomly swap positions again!"

All five cards were covered by an undercurrent, circulating among themselves and changing their order.

Darkness herself cannot see this order until the seahorse summons a new monster again.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Seahorse plays another card from its hand.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Discount Shopping'! Discard one Level 8 monster from your hand and draw two cards from your Deck. I discard 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand and then draw two cards!" Kaiba revealed the White Dragon in his hand and then quickly threw it into the Graveyard.

"Next, activate the Spell Card 'Dragon's Mirror'!" Kaiba said. "I banish Fusion Material Monsters from the field and Graveyard to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster!"

I used the three Blue-Eyes cards—the one on the field, the one in the graveyard, and the one in the graveyard—as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon!
"Watch closely, the ultimate and strongest dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

The Blue-Eyes Triple Fusion is another subspecies of Ultimate Dragon after evolution. It has a very similar appearance to the original Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but has subspecies characteristics similar to the White Dragon. Its three dragon heads fly wildly, and the moment it appears, it seems to dominate the entire scene.

[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Wyvern, Attack Power 4500]

"Ultimate Dragon, is this the evolution of Ultimate Dragon?" Darkness shouted, "But the moment you summoned the monster, 'Eye of Darkness' also helped me confirm the positions of all my face-down cards on the field!"
Therefore, I will activate it again! First, the perpetual trap 'Void'! Then, the perpetual trap 'Infinity'!

The chain of nothingness and infinity flipped once again on the Darkness field, the chain of lightning affecting all the face-down cards between the two cards.

He was incredibly lucky this time, as Void and Infinity were positioned perfectly on the far left and far right sides of the field. Therefore, all three face-down cards between Void and Infinity could be activated simultaneously.

"Between nothingness and infinity, activate these three cards in the order they are covered!"

Perpetual traps 'Darkness 1', 'Darkness 3', 'Darkness 2'!

The three traps were activated, and electricity from nothingness and infinity poured into them.

“Because Darkness 1 was activated first, Darkness 3 and Darkness 2 both gained the effect of the Continuous Trap 'Darkness 1',” Darkness said. “The effect of Darkness 1 is that it can destroy any card on the field. Therefore, I can destroy a maximum of three cards on the field, while you only have one on your field.”

Darkness extends a finger.

"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy it!"

The triple dark lightning bolts blasted out, striking the Ultimate Dragon directly, causing arcs and sparks to explode in all directions.

But nothing happened.

The Ultimate Dragon remained standing, seemingly oblivious to everything.

"What?!" Darkness's expression changed abruptly. "Why?"

Kaiba laughed loudly: "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon cannot be destroyed by the opponent's card effects, nor can it be targeted by the opponent's card effects! Your petty tricks are meaningless!"

Darkness: "!!!"

Does this form of Ultimate Dragon actually possess such resistance?

In fact, that's not all. When Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon uses "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" as Fusion Material, it also has the terrifying ability to destroy up to three cards at once per turn.

However, Blue-Eyes Ultra Dragon cannot attack during the turn this effect is activated, so it's not needed for the time being.

"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba shouted, "Attack 'Dark Eye'!"

[Dark Eye, Attack Power 0]

Dark Eyes' monster effects are only effective when the monster is in Attack Position, making it the biggest weakness on Darkness's field.

Generally speaking, this weakness is not easy to exploit because with the backcourt five-block, it is difficult for the opponent to break through the combination of "Void" and "Infinity" to attack.

But now, this weakness is clearly fatal.

Seahorse: "Tough! Invincible! Strongest!"

Seahorse: "Shattered! Crushed! Cheers!"

Kaiba: "Ultimate Destructive Gale Shockwave—"

The three heads of the white dragon simultaneously unleashed beams of light, a torrent of white light that surged and raged, as if the entire dark and mysterious world was being swept away into nothingness by the radiance.
