Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 131 Past Self

When the turbidity that obscured vision and made it impossible to distinguish directions completely dissipated, the surrounding scenery had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"this place……"

The enclosed bricks and stones, the flickering candlelight, and the dark and narrow space made You Ming fall into silence.

"Let's not talk about Xia Di, that bastard who only knows how to talk big. Do you two particularly enjoy using this gloomy and cramped environment to showcase your abstract and unique aesthetic?"

"Tsk tsk, young people are really vicious. But unfortunately, it wasn't me who shaped this place~."

In response to You Ming's undisguised sarcasm, a very distinctive voice echoed in the air.

Then, a golden eye like a thousand-year-old eye opened on the ceiling:

This sign, this accent, only needs to be paired with a certain name, and its identity can be instantly locked.

"Youming boy, what truly shaped this maze are the memories that permeate it... Of course, you can also say that they are your own memories~."

"So, since you're good at designing games and playing them, what do you want to do now?"

Staring at the golden eyeball, You Ming sneered.

"Beccas J. Croft, it's such an honor to meet you here."

Upon hearing this, the golden eyes half closed, appearing to be squinting.
"...You seem to have learned a lot from Mr. Xia Di, Youming boy."

"Ah, yes, yes, Xia Di told me everything."

Speaking of this, You Ming couldn't help but curl his lips.

"He even said he despised you. Even gamblers like Keith Howard were fighting hard, but the father of Duel Monsters completely surrendered to darkness and couldn't resist its temptation. His heart was extremely fragile."

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Xia Di is here or not. For You Ming, he feels no pressure at all to talk nonsense to that bald guy here.

It would be better to just put the blame on that bald guy, which would be really satisfying!

But unfortunately, this feeling of pleasure did not last long.

"Maybe Mr. Shadi is right."

Facing You Ming's accusation which was almost an insult, the eyeball made a sound of agreement.

"Oh no, you just admit it?"

You Ming twitched the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he even felt that he could see the white-haired man in the red suit giving him a thumbs-up:
"I am indeed a hopeless wretch. The only reason I was able to persevere was for the girl I love."

"..."

"The power of love is infinite, Youming boy. As long as it's for my beloved Cindia, I can do anything~"

Okay, I'm totally speechless.

Listening to the rhythmic and exotic voice, You Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"So, what are you going to do here?"

"I'm not doing anything. Your Majesty just asked me to trap you here. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will be very happy."

"But unfortunately, I didn't think about staying where I was."

"Then there's nothing we can do."

There was obviously a hint of regret in Bekas' voice, but then the echoing voice was filled with a touch of joy.

"Since you insist, let the game I set for boy begin~!"

As if blending into the wall, the golden eyeball slowly disappeared.

At the same time, as if on the set of a horror movie, a series of candles lit up on the road ahead.

"Bekas..."

Gazing at the swaying deep road, You Ming gradually suppressed the exaggeration on his face.

"If possible, I really don't want to be an enemy of this kind of person."

"Is he a very troublesome enemy?"

"He is a person who has no bottom line and will do anything to achieve his goal."

Hearing this, the expressions of the house children became serious.

"If they are like the Void Demons..."

"No, no, no, it's not that serious." You Ming shook his head.

Although for card players, both the early criticized rules and the act of printing a deck specifically for themselves are somewhat criticized, if we have to classify them, they are still different from people like the Void Demon.

"After all, the Void Demon himself doesn't respect duels. Winning a duel isn't essential to him, but Bekas himself still has a certain respect for the 'rules'."

"How to say?"

"His tactics include, but are not limited to, using the Millennium Eye to peer into others' minds, detecting their tactics and hidden cards and countering them. Sometimes, during a duel, he would arbitrarily dig into others' wounds, use frivolous words to induce his opponents to act rashly, and create chaos."

"...Where's the respect in this?"

Hearing what You Ming said in a serious and straightforward manner, the house boy couldn't help but complain.

"Just peeking into someone else's cards is already trampling on the sacred rules, okay? And digging into other people's privacy without permission is also extremely disgusting."

"Indeed, but that's not the case with Beckas, a very devoted...bad guy."

After hesitating for a moment, You Ming spoke.

Putting aside his identity as a so-called "plug-in manufacturer" and the series of influences he has created, this is the most profound feeling that the creator of the God Card in the original work brought him.

"That's why his 'game' is worth noting."

We passed through the dark corridor, and the road suddenly disappeared completely under our feet.

Watching this scene, You Ming couldn't help but yawn.

"If he had any sense, he wouldn't have arranged these so-called fun games. Such things are completely meaningless in the face of absolute power."

As it flows, the earth emerges, and the world suddenly turns from narrow to vast.

"What he wants to do is to arrange an enemy for me."

Then, a crack visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky, and dark shadows continued to surge outward.

"Similarly, since he's unwilling to actually appear in front of me, this also means that he will never appear head-on and become my enemy."

Looking at the gradually gathering black shadow, You Ming narrowed his eyes.

"So, the enemy he arranged for me must be one that he thinks will hinder me... In other words, it must be a powerful enemy that I, in my current state, cannot defeat, both physically and mentally."

"Then, who could it be?"

"It's simple. According to the logic of the story, that's the only thing that can happen in this situation, right?"

How do you say that?

“People often say that life is a progression, but I think that’s just a lie to cover up one’s own vulnerability.”

In the desolate space, what echoed was Bekas's voice, which seemed to be telling a story.

“As we grow up, we gradually lose our ambition to make progress; as time goes by, we gradually become addicted to pure fantasy.”

'Boom'

Amidst the fierce dragon roar, gleamed a pair of gorgeous yet cruel scarlet eyes.

"Can you defeat the hopeful self of your past?"

Under the pitch-black wings, a young figure slowly emerged.

Although he is completely different from the sturdy figure in the card, his identity is obvious:
Black Dragon Paladin

The armor covered the small body, but it exuded an irresistible power.

"Everyone gather!"

Along with the shout, the ancient horn sounded.

Immediately, countless streams of light converged from all directions.

The boy slowly raised his hand, and the dark fire and flowing light converged, transforming into a duel disk like dragon wings and sharp blades.

【You have a new challenger! 】

Then, amid the dragon's roar, there was no room for any other words on the battlefield.

"duel!"

　Sorry, I took my pet to the playground today, and it peed and marked its territory all over the house, so I had to let it become a pup.
