Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1657 Phantom Demons and Duelists

Yasuda Uria stood there, staring intently at the young man's face, as if trying to discern from his expression whether he was serious or just spouting nonsense.

However, You Xuan then burst out laughing.

"Just kidding." He laughed, then said seriously, "Seriously, you've been with me for quite a while now. Or at least your card has always been with me?"

In short, the key point is that you should understand this has always been my viewpoint.

You Xuan put away his smile and revealed a rare serious expression.

He turned to look at the conman opposite him, as if these words were meant for the conman to hear, specifically to refute what the other party had just said.

“If Duel Monsters are weapons, then there shouldn’t be any distinction between good and evil,” Yu Xuan said. “Power is just pure power. Just as a gun was created to hurt people, there is no such thing as a ‘gun of justice’ in the world.”

Similarly, there is no such thing as an 'evil gun' in this world. The only difference lies in the gunman's purpose and actions.

A thought struck Yasuda Uria, and she looked up in surprise at the other person's back.

Whether it was her imagination or not, she suddenly felt that the figure seemed to have transformed from the sinister and cunning image she remembered into a majestic and imposing figure.

She thought for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "But...but my power is indeed a power that brings disaster. It's the same in every era—a power that exists solely for plunder."

As she spoke, she looked down at her hands, as if she loathed this innate talent and this power.

But the next moment, You Xuan spoke up again, frankly and openly: "Then, why not use this power to plunder those who deserve to be plundered?"

Yuria looked up: "Huh?"

"So, power is just power. It all depends on how the user uses it or who they use it against." You Xuan laughed. "I've said before that I never hide my desires. For example, I like cards, I really like cards, especially powerful, versatile decks that can handle all kinds of situations."

So I'm always collecting decks. You've probably seen it by my side; I've defeated countless enemies and taken away countless decks.

Yuria nodded, somewhat bewildered: "Yeah, I know the Yellow King who's incredibly obsessed with decks and has a terrible reputation."

"Ahem. That's a bit of an exaggeration. But anyway, the point is..." You Xuan quickly changed the subject and laughed, "I want power, I want cards, but I didn't say I would immediately claim any card I wanted no matter where I encountered it, right?"
Lifespan is the same. Is immortality good? Of course it is, who wouldn't want that? I want it too. But just like with card decks, I will only take away the lifespan that is rightfully mine. After all, some people who live too long will only harm society and shorten the lifespan of others.

Therefore, for the sake of world peace and social order, I took action to impose sanctions and reluctantly accepted the extra lifespan that the other party would not need in the future.”

"Pfft." Yuria, who was originally feeling down, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard his words.

But the thousand clones remained coldly aloof, saying, "Is this the kind of high-sounding excuse you usually use to numb yourself?"

"Calling it high-sounding is fine, this is just my principle," You Xuan said calmly. "Of course I want good things, but I acquire them ethically. I only take from those who deserve it. God help me, there are plenty of bad people in this world, and they generally have long lifespans and excellent card decks. By the way, speaking of which..."

You Xuan smiled as he sized up the old swindler.

"I see that Lord Qianzun has a long lifespan, so his deck must be quite strong. Why don't you share it with me?"

"Insolence!" said the Thousand Venerable clone. "You'll have to be alive to take it."

Yuria stared blankly at the young man.

Before this, neither she nor the other two Phantom Demons had ever truly regarded this person as their "master." Like Kagemaru before Yugen, and like many duelists throughout history who had acquired Phantom Demon cards, these three were merely duelists "possessing their cards."

It could be called a short-term alliance, but that's all; it's not a closer relationship.

But today, without a sound, Yuria seemed to sense that something was different.

More than ten thousand years have passed. She has encountered all sorts of duelists, and the wielders have changed generation after generation, but until now, no one has ever said anything like this to her—

—This is not your fault.

You are not the source of the disaster.

"If possessing power is considered evil, then so be it," You Xuan said with a carefree laugh. "Then let's be evil to the very end."

The girl lowered her head and wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve.

A few seconds later she looked up again, pouted and snorted.

“You’re right, at least half right,” she said.

"Hmm?" You Xuan raised his eyebrows.

So, does that mean I'm wrong about having a partner?
Then Uria pouted and muttered, "The Duel Monster Cards themselves are neither good nor evil, that makes sense. But the Duelists are not. You are the evil Yellow King, you're so wicked."

You Xuan laughed heartily: "Alright, Great Demon King it is."

But then he extended his hand as an invitation.

"So, Divine Flame Emperor Uria, will you walk to the very end with me, the Great Demon King?"

She still looked awkward with her pigtails and hummed, but her body language betrayed her. Without a second's hesitation, she reached out her little hand and held it tightly with his.

The next moment, the girl's entire body emitted a red light. Her figure became ethereal and transparent until it disappeared from the physical form, returning to the shape of a card and converging in You Xuan's hand.

It was actually still the same card, "Divine Flame Emperor Uria," that Yu Xuan possessed. But Yu Xuan could sense that some things were different.

He inserted the card back into the deck, and the deck shuffled automatically in the Duel Disk.

"So, let's get back to our question." You Xuan looked up at the Thousand Venerable clone. "Old Thousand, what's going on with you? What are you doing here?"

"Watch your tone," the Thousand Venerable clone said curtly.

"If I remember correctly, although this is the world of elves, it still belongs to my dimension, right?" You Xuan said. "What? Missed me? But got lost on your way to find me?"

The thousand clones said, "Your dimension is very interesting, Fujiki Yugen. Zorc told me about you, about your uniqueness in the multiverse. This makes me curious about what makes you so special, and what is unique about your dimension."

"Oh? It was Zorc again." You Xuan shrugged. "So, have you found the answer yet?"

The thousand clones revealed their duel disks: "Once I've taken you down, I'll find you naturally."
