Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1644 The Scattered Artifacts

The Millennium Wisdom Wheel is one of the seven great artifacts of the millennium.

Although these items were released early, they haven't been phased out by the meta due to traditional reasons like "late-game numerical inflation." The Millennium Seven Items have consistently maintained a very high status within the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, belonging to the top tier of Dark Artifacts.

In the past, the entire village of the Thieves King was massacred and sacrificed to create the Seven Sacred Treasures of the Millennium. A trace of evil from the Great Evil God Zorc attached himself to the Wisdom Wheel among the Seven Sacred Treasures, and this evil has continued to this day.

For this reason, when talking about the Seven Sacred Treasures, the Millennium Puzzle is generally regarded as a symbol of the Pharaoh, while the Wheel of Wisdom is regarded as a representative of the great evil god Zorc.

At this moment, both Zorc's remnant soul and Bakura's evil spirit had been dispelled by the recent duel, leaving no trace. Logically, the Millennium Wisdom Wheel should have reverted to an ordinary divine artifact, without any miscellaneous elements mixed in, merely a high-level item.

But as You Xuan picked it up and examined it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He could sense that Zorc's remnant soul was indeed gone, and there were no lingering evil thoughts or anything like that. But he could still sense that this thing was unclean.

You Xuan had seen millennium artifacts before; he knew what their power was like and what kind of feeling they gave people. Therefore, he was certain that this Wheel of Wisdom was no ordinary millennium artifact; it contained many strange energies mixed in.

Dark Game: "Let me see."

So Yu Xuan handed the Wheel of Wisdom to Dark Game. Although Yu Xuan was quite knowledgeable about dark artifacts, no one was more professional than the Pharaoh when it came to the Millennium Items.

Dark Game took the Wisdom Wheel, closed his eyes, and seemed to extend his consciousness to explore it.

The Millennium Puzzle hanging on Yami Yugi's chest also shone brightly, and the Eye of Horus in the center seemed to open, bursting out with golden light.

A moment later, Yami Yugi opened his eyes, his expression somewhat solemn and puzzled.

“This wisdom wheel has absorbed a lot of energy, all kinds of energy,” Dark Game said. “Some of it is similar to the energy you mentioned from the ‘Academy’ that we’ve recently come into contact with.”

You Xuanqi asked, "Similar to 'academy'?"

Yami Yugi nodded: "Yes, it's like the energy released during a summoning process similar to 'Synchro' and 'Xyz.' And that's only part of it; this Wisdom Wheel also absorbs various other energies."

It's as if... as if this wisdom wheel is being intentionally used as some kind of container for collection.

You Xuan's heart stirred.

What does it mean?
The Great Evil God Zorc uses the Wheel of Millennium Wisdom as a vessel to collect all sorts of powers in different multiverses.

How does this relate to what Zorc said about his determination to "transcend his inevitable fate of death"?

"Wait, I think I can sense something else too."

Dark Game closed his eyes and tried to feel it more intensely.

He could sense that this wisdom wheel was telling him more than just about absorbing miscellaneous energies. It concealed deeper secrets, something far more significant—a larger scheme being orchestrated by the "Great Evil God Zorc."
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. The Eye of Horus on the Millennium Puzzle and the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom both burst forth with astonishing energy, as if the two artifacts were resonating with each other.

A surge of energy erupted simultaneously from the two divine artifacts. In an instant, You Xuan saw the surrounding temple vanish, replaced by an endless starry sky, or rather, a darkness resembling the starry sky.

In the vast, boundless darkness, one golden dot after another emerged. Upon closer inspection, the outlines of these dots could be barely discerned. One resembled an eye, another a scale, another a scepter, a piece of jewelry, and a key.
Those are the remaining five sacred artifacts of the millennium, excluding the Millennium Puzzle and the Millennium Wisdom Wheel.

You Xuan quickly realized that the boundless darkness around him symbolized the infinite multiverse.

"The world's millennium artifacts," You Xuan said, "aside from the building blocks and the Wheel of Wisdom, the other five artifacts have been scattered to other dimensions?"

Dark Game opened his eyes again, his face grave: "It seems so."

Zorc was lost in thought. He scattered five of the Millennium Seven artifacts from the fundamental dimension to various parts of the multiverse, where they absorbed local energy and served as containers for various extraordinary energies.

Previously, Zorc instructed the people of the "Academy" to try to take the Millennium Puzzle from Yami Yugi. One of his thoughts was probably just to test the potential of the Pharaoh of the Basic Dimension when faced with the stimulation of these future decks. On the other hand, he may have really wanted to take the Puzzle away.

It seems that the Millennium Items also play an important role in Zorc's plans.

"We must retrieve the lost Four Sacred Treasures," Yami Yugi said solemnly.

For him, this was a choice he had no other option.

It wasn't just about stopping Zorc's evil plan. The Seven Millennium Artifacts originally belonged to the Pharaoh, and collecting all of them was a necessary process for the Pharaoh to rediscover his past self from three thousand years ago and then return to the Underworld.

If the artifacts are scattered throughout the multiverse, then he has no choice but to go to each universe to retrieve them all; there is no other way.

"On that point," You Xuan smiled, "I can offer some assistance."

With Bakura and Anubis both dealt with, Akhenaten was now the only one left in the ranks of the dead.

Akhenaten, one of the former Seven Priests and the Dark High Priest of Zorc, returned to the mortal world with extremely complicated feelings, standing in front of Kaiba, who had just defeated the swordsman Amelda of Doma and was on his way to the Temple of Dartz.

Although the seahorse was now a reincarnation and no longer the priest Set of yesteryear, Akhenaten seemed to recognize the soul of his proud son at a glance through this reincarnated body.

"Seth!"

Aknadin was extremely excited.

"Finally. Do you know how much I've wanted to see you, Seth? Look at yourself now, no longer subservient, no longer a subject. You now have the eyes of a king, the gaze of a king!"

Aknadin became increasingly proud as he spoke.

"This is my son, Seth! And from this moment on, I will help you defeat that false king and truly win the throne that belongs to you!"

However, his impassioned speech only earned him a look from the seahorse as if he were crazy.

Who is this old man?

Not only was he dressed strangely, but he also tried to claim him as his son right away. Surely he couldn't be after Haima Group's billions of assets?
