Chapter 1641 The Inspirational Demon King
Hades, the Demon King, has awakened! Summon him once more!

Once again summoned by Synchro Summoning, the Demon Lord Hades gleamed with crimson eyes, his purple cloak billowing like mist, exuding an aura of death.

[Hades, the Awakened Demon King, Attack Power 2450]

"Oh, Hades again," You Xuan chuckled. "He really is a persistent Hades."

"Of course, the undead are very persistent. After all, they can't come back again and again without enough resentment."

Bakura laughed and played another card, then put it back on top of his deck. Soon after, a cloud of purplish-black mist burst from his graveyard, transforming into a nauseating purplish-black zombie that returned to the field.

"The effect of Zombie Carrier: This card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by returning one card from your hand to the top of your Deck!"

[Zombie Carrier, Attack Power 400]

"Then adjust the level 2 monster 'Zombie Carrier', the level 6 'Death Emperor Dragon', and then adjust the stars!"

【2+6=8】

"Dragon King of Purgatory, now unleash your power to devour heaven and earth! Synchro Summon—"

—Demon King Dragon Lord of the Flies!!!

As he finished speaking, the synchronized starlight seemed to lead straight to the deepest hell. Endless darkness converged into a crimson dragon, its mouths filled with fangs. The dragon's chest had a pair of dark gold compound eyes, truly resembling the heads of giant flies.

It's like two ferocious dragon heads sprouting from the head of a giant fly.

[Demon King Dragon - Fly King, Attack Power 3000]

From the 5DS manga, it belongs to the "Duel Dragons" category, just like the dragons used by the main characters. However, its art style is clearly that of a dark Duel Dragon with a demonic style.

And this Demon Dragon is Bakura Shin's trump card for immortality!

"Activate the Spell Card 'Inherited Power'! Target one face-up monster you control, send that monster to the Graveyard, and until the end of this turn, another monster you control gains the ATK of the monster sent to the Graveyard!"

He pointed to the remaining zombie sorcerer on his field.

"I send 'Lord of Zombies' to the graveyard, so that 'Awakened Demon King Hades' will gain the attack power of Lord of Zombies until the end of this turn!"

The Zombie Lord was enveloped in magical energy, and his body quickly disintegrated into specks of light, which then entered Hades' body.

The Undying Underworld King's eyes flashed red, and with a series of roars, the magic power in his body seemed to surge and increase significantly.

[The Awakened Demon King Hades, Attack Power 2450 → Attack Power 4250]

You Xuan glanced at the menacing Demon King Dragon on the opposing field, then at the sinister Hades, and seemed to understand something.

"I see. Although theoretically, attacking the 'Spraying Insect' with the 'Demon King Dragon Fly King', which has an attack power of 3,000, would have finished me off, is this just to be on the safe side?" You Xuan said.

[Yu Xuan, LP400]

“Not bad,” Bakura said. “Last round, you knew you would be reduced to a sliver of health, yet you still recklessly provoked and attacked my ‘Vampire Heiress.’ You were probably just being arrogant. You probably had some kind of attack nullification or damage immunity hidden in your hands.”

You Xuan nodded: "That's a good idea."

Now, on Bakura's field, whether it's Demon King Dragon Fly King breaking through the Misty Bug, or the awakened Demon King Hades breaking through the Guardian, as long as either attack touches the opponent, the opponent is finished.

"Go, Demon Dragon Lord Fly King, attack the 'Sparkling Insect'!"

The Demon Dragon's two heads shook in unison, and the fly-like eyes on its chest flashed with golden light. Violent energy was gathered into the two dragon mouths, transforming into two towering streams of demonic flames that exploded forth.

"The idea is good, but..."

Yu Xuan calmly drew a monster card from his graveyard. It seemed the card had barely left the graveyard when a layer of pale blue lightning enveloped his Flaming Bug and Guardian. The lightning acted like a repulsive shield, the invisible force repelling both Demon Dragon and Hades backward.

Bakura: "What?"

"You have no reason not to recognize this card, right?" You Xuan smiled and waved the monster card in his hand.

Bakura seemed to finally see clearly, and couldn't help but curl his lip: "Tch, a super electromagnetic turtle."

Electromagnetic Turtle. While this card is in the Graveyard, you have one chance to banish it from the Graveyard to force the end of one Battle Phase.

If it's this old tortoise, it won't even pass one attack, so no matter how many or how strong the monsters are, it's meaningless.

You Xuan reminded: "At the end of the round, the 'Inherited Power' effect will end, and the awakened Hades' attack power will return to normal."

"I don't need you to remind me," Bakura said coldly.

"Speaking of which, for a demon king, you're quite dedicated," You Xuan suddenly said with interest. "No joke, you're probably the most hardworking and inspiring demon king I've ever seen."

Running around all day, causing trouble here and there. Honestly, it must be exhausting, right?

Bakura remained expressionless. "What are you trying to say?"

“Nothing, I’m just curious how you got to this point,” Yu Xuan said. “You just said you were interested in my story and my personal rise because I am the only singularity among all the ‘Fujiki Yu Xuan’s’ in the multiverse.”

So you're the same to me. What made you the most special Zorc in the multiverse? How did you first realize your destiny?

Or to put it more bluntly, what he really wanted to ask was, how did this guy know the script?

"You really want to know?" Bakura asked.

“Of course.” You Xuan’s expression was like that of a diligent student listening attentively in class. “Tell me about it; maybe it can give me some inspiration?”

Bakura shrugged.

"It's nothing much. It's just that one day, I suddenly realized that there are other worlds outside of this one, and I wanted to try to see them."

You Xuan: "That was your first time dimensional travel?"

“Yes, more or less,” Bakura said. “Once you start to realize that there are other worlds out there, it’s not that hard to do this. It just takes a few more tries.”

You Xuan remained silent.

Well, for a fighter of Zorc's caliber, it might not be difficult.

"That was also the first time I saw another version of myself in another world—so similar to me, with exactly the same power and the exact same thoughts, yet utterly defeated by the Pharaoh."

Bakura said coldly.

"At the time, it wasn't a big deal, because it was just a failure of me in a certain dimension, and it didn't mean anything."

You Xuan: "Until you travel to every dimension, see all the history, and find that it's all the same?"

“Yes.” Bakura sneered, “It seems that losing to the Pharaoh and becoming an indispensable footnote in his immortal legend is my inescapable fate. But do you know what to do?”

I can accept failure. I tried, I worked hard, and I'm willing to accept the risk of defeat, but what I cannot accept is this seemingly predetermined fate.

He raised his arm high and shouted loudly.

"My destiny is in my own hands, and no one is an exception! Not even God, who traverses this endless void!"
