Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1621 The Heart of Belief
"Darkhope's effect restores the Dark Magic Priest's attack power to health!"

[Anubis, LP4200 → LP7400]

At this moment, Anubis not only had Darkhope's attack power of 6,000, but his own health points also reached 7,400, giving him an absolute advantage on the field.

But Yami Yugi didn't give up: "Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Reckless Greed'! This card allows me to draw two cards from my deck, but at the cost of skipping the draw phase for the next two turns!"

He draws two more cards from his deck.

“Borrowing your future means you’re already at your limit,” Anubis said. “How pathetic, Pharaoh, to make such a basic mistake. If you had waited until your next turn to draw a card before activating this card, you could have drawn an extra card.”

But he soon realized that this was not a mistake.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of 'Dark Illusion Magician' in my hand!" Yami Yugi said. "This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand if you activate the effect of a Spell or Trap Card during your opponent's turn!"

Come forth, Dark Illusion Mage!

The figure that appeared from his hand was a black-clad mage, whose attire and appearance were quite similar to those of a dark magician, only darker and more profound, including his face, which was completely black and invisible.

[Black Illusion Mage, Defense 2500]

"I see, so it was to summon this thing," Anubis chuckled. "But you don't really think something like this can put up a fight against me, do you?"

"No matter what kind of monster it is, there are infinite possibilities!" Yami Yugi said firmly. "Never doubt, never waver in your belief in the potential of your monster, and never falter in your confidence in victory—that is what makes a true duelist!"

“Ridiculous! Monsters are merely servants, tools for achieving victory! Only those who can command powerful monsters deserve to hold victory in their hands!” Anubis said.

Yami Yugi: "I will not agree with you, and I will never lose to someone like you! I believe in my monster, my partner, and our potential!"
"My turn!"

Of course, due to the side effects of "reckless greed," he can no longer draw cards this round.

Yami Yugi glanced at the cards in his hand and gently closed his eyes.

Strangely enough, he felt as if he could sense the dark magician's inner thoughts.

Actually, this wasn't something that happened overnight. Yami Yugi couldn't remember who he was, but he knew that the Dark Magician treated him differently, and he had a vague sense of unspoken understanding between them.

Even now.

It was as if, with his eyes closed and in the darkness of his consciousness, he could face the black magician, and even if they were just silently gazing at each other, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

“...Can you make me believe you?” Yami Yugi murmured.

In the darkness, as if by illusion, he seemed to see the black magician nod.

He could even sense the other's unwavering will. The black-robed mage slowly raised his staff, his resolute gaze seeming to say that even if it meant sacrificing his own soul and body, he would absolutely pave the way for the Pharaoh's future.

"I understand."

Dark Game reopened his eyes and muttered to himself.

The watch behind him couldn't help but speak: "Another me."

"AIBO, are you willing to believe me?" Yami Yugi looked up at him. Omoikazuchi paused, then said, "The other me."

"To be honest, I'm not very confident about winning. Against such an enemy, the fairy swordsman can probably only last one round. Our chances of winning are really slim."

As he spoke, Dark Game changed the subject.

"Even so, I still intend to win. However, I have absolutely no confidence in what I'm about to try, nor any basis for believing I can succeed. But this duel probably isn't just about me; if I lose, even AIBO might suffer."

Before he could finish speaking, Biao Youqi said decisively, "I do."

Yami Yugi's expression softened: "AIBO"

"How can you say such things now that things have come to this? Haven't we always been like this?" The game's protagonist revealed a bright smile. "Because... we're one body, aren't we?"

An Yugi couldn't help but smile with emotion and nodded vigorously: "Yes."

As he spoke, he touched the ancient building blocks hanging on his chest.

It was this building block that linked their destinies together, leading him to meet AIBO, the most irreplaceable person in his life.

He doesn't remember who he is, and deep down he's even a little afraid that he was a tyrant in the past, a cruel and incompetent king. He's afraid that once he regains his memories, he will become someone else, someone who is completely unfamiliar to him.

But now he was no longer afraid. Because this was the only thing he could be sure of.

Even if he regains his memories and his past life's personality, he and AIBO will still be irreplaceable partners, and nothing can change that, not even if the heavens and earth collapse.

Thinking of this, it seemed as if a knot in Yami Yugi's heart had been untied. His mind went clear in an instant, and the dark road ahead seemed to be illuminated by the sunlight called "AIBO," making him fearless from then on.

He felt that if he were himself now, he could do anything.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Owner's Mark' from my hand!" Yami Yugi shouted. "This card can return all monsters on the field to their original owners!"

This is a magic card that Yuugen particularly favors, and it's a perfect match for powerful cards like Lava Demon and Kaiju. But in fact, this card was originally owned by Yami Yugi, and it first appeared in the manga when Yami Yugi used it.

It's not entirely incomprehensible. After all, in the DM era, various NTR-themed cards like Mind Control, Stealth, Mental Manipulation, and Brainwashing were rampant and had become second nature. As duelists living in such an environment, it's only natural that Yami Yugi would include these cards in his deck.

"Give me back my Dark Magic Priest!" Yami Yugi waved his hand dismissively.

With a wave of his arm, it was as if some invisible command had been issued. The black electricity that had been binding and binding the dark magic priest was finally swept away, and the dark magic priest regained his freedom. He immediately leaped back to his original master's field.

"Oh? So you've finally won back your priest?" Anubis said dismissively. "But what good is it now? Even your magical priest is powerless to reverse the situation!"

Faced with this situation, Yami Yugi remained calm and even smiled, before delivering his famous declaration of victory.

"That's not necessarily true."

Anubis's expression changed slightly: "Nani?"
