Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

The overflowing lightning was absorbed by the nameless card activated by the game, and like laser engraving, the images of all three "Legendary Dragons" were quickly imprinted on the card, with a sharp sword next to each of them!

"Ultimate card, [Legendary Heart]! Pay me 1000 Life Points, then Tribute the Warrior-Type monster [Elf Swordsman] on the field!" Yugi clenched his fist and swung it skyward, "Unleash the true power of the 'Legendary Dragon' and fully reveal its form!"

"O mighty cry that echoes through the ages, tracing back to the distant past, awakening from its roots! Appear as a power that transcends the impossible, guiding me toward victory!"

"[The Legendary Knight - Hermes]!"

"【The Legendary Knight - Kritia】!"

"[The Legendary Knight - Timaeus]!"

Raikou brought the cards from Kaiba and Jonouchi's Duel Disks to Yugi's Duel Disk. The three original "Legendary Dragon" cards and "Legendary Heart" disappeared, replaced by three brand new monster cards.

[The Legendary Knight - Hermes] [8☆/Light]

[Warrior Race/Effect]

[2800/1800]

【The Legendary Knight - Critia】【ATK2800】

[The Legendary Knight - Timaeus] [ATK2800]

Jonouchi's eyes widened as he stared at the "Legendary Dragons" who had transformed into human form, because he discovered that the "Legendary Knight - Hermes," who had been transformed from the "Claw of Hermes," had a face exactly like his own!

Not only that, but Critias and Timaeus, the other two "legendary dragons," when they transform into human form, also have faces that are exactly the same as their respective owners—Kaiba and Yugi!

Even the sounds are the same—

"Who is calling us! Who is calling our slumbering souls!" x3

"It's freedom!" Hermes, who appeared to be in the shape of a castle, drew his longsword.

“It is wisdom!” The seahorse-like [Critia] drew his longsword and twirled it.

"It's justice!" The [Timaeus] who looks exactly like the one in the game grips his drawn sword with both hands, pointing it directly at Dartz.

"A regret that has lasted for millennia, how can it ever be atoned for! We have returned, the Emperors of Atlantis!"

"Do we have enough basic points?"

"I'll repay you for the pain I suffered ten thousand years ago!"

"Ah, ah!" Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Seeing the "legendary dragons" who ruined his plans ten thousand years ago appear in the form that Dartz was most familiar with when they were in the mortal world, Dartz gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. "Stop being so arrogant. Even if you are, you won't be able to stop me!"

"Humanity cannot escape a catastrophic future, but I am immortal! Absolutely!"

"The future of humanity is not up to you, Dartz." Paying 1000 Life Points to release the [Elf Swordsman] and summon the [Legendary Knights] to his field, Yugi declared firmly, "The future of humanity will be shaped by me and my companions!"

"Charge! All-out attack, legendary knights!"

"It's useless, my base score is ∞, your attacks have no effect on me!"

As soon as Darzan finished speaking, "Seahorse" [Critia] rushed in front of her and launched its first attack.

"Clang!"

However, to Dartz's surprise, the attack swung by [Critia] was blocked by the sword handed to him by "Jounouchi" [Hermes], who was traveling with him. The collision between the slash and the sword produced a crisp sound.

"Why would Critias attack Hermes?!" Jonouchi asked, looking puzzled. "Could it be that not only do I and Kaiba not get along, but Hermes and Critias also can't get along? But now is not the time for infighting!"

"Hey, stop fighting!"

Seeing that Jonouchi thought the two monsters were fighting amongst themselves and even wanted to step in to mediate, Kaiba, who was standing next to Jonouchi, quickly stopped him: "Quiet down, you idiot, can't you see that?"

Following the direction the seahorse was pointing, Jonouchi noticed that the slash that [Critia] had unleashed was not directly negated by [Hermes] after being caught. Instead, it adhered to the holy sword in the latter's hand and turned into a beam of light, just like syrup hanging on a hawthorn.

After catching the slash from Critias, Hermes roared and swung his sword, the light on the sword spreading out in three beams and returning it to Critias!

Critias mirrored Hermes's actions, parrying the attack and returning it, their sword flashes merging in mid-air. For a moment, the scene resembled an internal conflict.

Then Yugi spoke up, saying, "The legendary knight Hermes, who symbolizes 'freedom,' possesses the power of protection. Whenever any monster on the field attacks, he can redirect the attack to himself."

"Then, the effect of [Legendary Knight - Hermes] absorbs three monsters from my deck: [Queen Knight], [Guard Knight], and [King Knight], and returns three times the damage received!"

"Next comes the 'wisdom' of [Legendary Knight - Critia], which absorbs the power of [Attack Induction Shield] from my deck and transfers the attack received to [Hermes]!"

As the power continued to shift, between the legendary knight Critias and the legendary knight Hermes, who were facing each other, the light changed shape and transformed into the symbol "∞"!

"This is... an infinite loop!?" Dartz's eyes widened as he explained the result for the game. "With the endless transfer, the power between these two monsters will continue to increase until it reaches infinity!"

"Damn it! But what good would it do to increase attack power to an infinite level?"

“To be able to unleash such power even after ten thousand years, you are indeed not to be underestimated, ‘Legendary Dragon’.” Dartz paused, then pointed at the two monsters and said, “However, in order to achieve this infinitely large combo, [Critia] and [Hermes] must remain in a loop and cannot participate in the attack at all!”

"Once the delicate balance between them is broken, that immense power will fall upon your own head, nameless pharaoh!"

Looking at the arrogant Dartz, Yugi coldly said, "Sorewadoka na!"

“Dazs, you who have survived for ten thousand years cannot be unaware of one thing: where the ‘legendary dragons’ came from and their true form.”

"Because of the plea for help from the former emperor of Atlantis, the 'Legendary Dragons' came to the human world. In order to fight against the corrupt Atlantean civilization, they split into three giant dragons and led the elves who came to the human world with them to fight alongside humans as knights."

"Finally, the three-body 'Legendary Dragon' that split apart sealed the 'Orichalcos God' in the price of falling into a deep sleep, and then, ten thousand years later, they were revived together and reappeared in the world as knights."

After a pause, the game looked at the legendary knight Timaeus, who stood before him, holding his longsword high and exuding an aura of power, and said, "But at this very moment, the three bodies of the 'Nameless Dragon' will reunite as one!"

"Following the legendary knights Critia and Hermes, unleash the power of the legendary knight Timaeus, awakening the true power contained within him and the other two knights!"

As the game's words played, the ∞ symbol between Critias and Hermes expanded and magnified, with Timaeus standing at the very center of the ∞ symbol, receiving the infusion of this infinite power, his armor gleaming golden.

"Taku!" "Wash the socks!" The other two [Legendary Knights] raised their swords and charged toward [Timaeus], ​​and then the tips of the three longswords met.

Golden rays shot straight into the sky!

"He who wields the power of the spirits, transform into dazzling light, and now reside within the Eye of the Dragon! Golden Dragon Knight, whose Eye of Justice burns brightly!"

"The power of our bonds will now create a whole new future! We will gain power beyond the infinite!"

"Descend, [Temaius the Divine Dragon]!"

With a flick of his cloak, he scattered dazzling light all around; with a raised sword, his sharp aura of justice soared to the heavens; beneath his golden armor stood the victorious knight!

【Teemaus the Divine Dragon】【10☆/Light】

[Warrior Race/Fusion/Effect]

【∞/∞】

"In the name of love and truth, [Timaeus] reports for duty!"

As the game ended, countless figures flashed before his eyes—Ryuzaki, Amelda, Raferl, Baron, Mai, Jonouchi, Honda, Kyoko, Keihei, Kaiba, Chicken Sauce, Malik, Rebecca, Rishid, Isis, Hayato...

"This is the final, direct attack. From this moment on, your luck is extremely bad, Dartz!"

Opening his eyes and looking at Dartz with an incredulous expression, Yugi raised his right hand, and [Timaeus the Divine Dragon] mirrored Yugi's movement, gripping the sword with both hands and raising it above his head.

"Deadly strike! Dragon Ascension Sword!"

Chapter 655

Having infinite basic points is a rare experience that not everyone can have, and facing infinite attack power is equally rare.

Well, Dartz was quite lucky; in this duel, he experienced both of these rare things.

The attack from [Teemaius] dispelled the black mist surrounding Dartz. His infinitely large elementary points were negated to zero by the attack from [Teemaius], which was also ∞. Dartz looked at the fact with disbelief: "I can't accept this!"

The next moment, he was sent flying: "Bugha!!!"

【Darz: ∞→0】

After the [Dragon of Fusion - Timaeus] standing in front of Yugi completed this one and only infinitely large attack, particles floated off its golden armor, and the three knights that were originally one were separated again like a double image, appearing in front of Kaiba, Jonouchi and Yugi.

Even after dissolving their combined form and transforming into knights capable of moving in the human world, the Legendary Knights were barely holding on, their human figures on the cards appearing and disappearing as if they might revert to their "Legendary Dragon" form at any moment.

In order to avenge themselves against Orichalcos and Dartz and thwart their plot to destroy the world once again, the "Legendary Dragons," like Dartz, have been accumulating power over the past ten thousand years, even though they have fallen into a deep sleep due to the battle years ago.

However, their accumulated power is ultimately limited. Although their direct attack on Dartz just now gave them a great sense of satisfaction, the "Legendary Knights" all know that this is not the real final battle. It would be foolish to vent their accumulated power on Dartz because of their emotions.

Therefore, the power that the "Legendary Dragons" invested in their Knight Form due to the "Legendary Heart" was actually not much. After completing their attack, it was almost completely exhausted. Next, they will transform back into "Legendary Dragon" cards to prepare for what is about to happen.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, the Legendary Knights, in addition to entrusting the power to the three gamers, also prepared an extra power in case of unforeseen circumstances.

After Dartz was knocked to the ground and the duel ended, the other players, not being Hayato, didn't immediately rush to take Dartz's deck or finish him off, as Dartz was currently inactive. Instead, they turned around to check on the situation of the people outside the duel arena.

At the start of the duel, the companions who came with them were forcibly drained of their souls and fell into a coma due to Dartz's arrangement. To make matters worse, Dartz immediately deployed the [Orichalcos Barrier], preventing the gamers from going to the outside world.

However, thanks to Ryuzaki, whose card spirit is still just an egg, Ryuzaki is in even better condition than Isis and Malik. Just now, when Dartz used the second and third barriers, he moved the fallen people away like cement to prevent them from being hit by the spreading [Orichalcum Barrier].

What relieved the game and the others was that although Honda and the others had collapsed as if their souls had been devoured by "Orichalcos," with Dartz's collapse, their souls seemed to return to their original positions. They didn't even need to shake their shoulders or call their names like in a romance drama before they slowly woke up.

"Huh? What just happened?" Honda sat up from the ground, clutching the back of his head. Seeing that the others also looked like they had just woken up, he looked puzzled. "Ouch~ Why does my head hurt so badly?"

Ryuzaki whistled nonchalantly, but subtly distanced himself from Honda. Honda's headache wasn't a side effect of his soul being taken away; when Dartz activated the [Orichalcos Barrier] earlier, Ryuzaki had been moving the others in a slightly hurried manner, and it seemed that Honda's head had accidentally bumped against the stone floor.

I hope I won't be discovered.

Fortunately, Honda didn't dwell on why he had a headache. His last memory was of the three of them and Dartz about to start their duel. He quickly looked for Yugi and Jonouchi and spotted the two walking towards him. Honda hurriedly got up from the ground and asked, "How are you two, Yugi and Jonouchi?"

"Hmph, are you worried about me, you idiot Honda? I, Jonouchi, easily defeated that Dartz." Seeing that Honda was alright, Jonouchi breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his hips smugly, and took full credit for defeating Dartz, attributing the credit directly to Honda, who had been fooling him into being unconscious at the time. "Unlike you, you actually passed out and didn't see my heroic figure at all. How lame!"

"What are you so smug about? Do you think I'd believe you?" Honda couldn't stand Jonouchi's smug attitude, so he stretched out his arm and grabbed Jonouchi's neck with his biceps, and the two of them staged a "strongman lock-up" scene. "So you're pretty brave, huh!"

The game wasn't involved in their unique way of communicating; instead, they took hands and helped Kyoko, who was sitting on the ground before anything happened, to her feet: "Are you alright, Kyoko?"

"I'm fine, I just felt like I took a nap..." Holding Yugi's hand, Kyoko stood up, a little confused. "That guy named Dartz, has he been defeated, Yugi—"

As she spoke, Kyoko herself was taken aback, because she suddenly noticed that the lines on Yugi's face were much softer than before she had lost consciousness, and his eyes no longer had that domineering feeling, but were looking at her gently.

As Yugi's childhood friend, Kyoko immediately realized that the person in front of her was Yugi, but not the nameless pharaoh "Dark Yugi" who was resurrected from the Millennium Puzzle, but a high school student Yugi.

It was only then that Kyoko realized that Yugi's height had belatedly begun to develop and had grown to be the same height as hers.

"Yes, I'm back, Kyoko." Yugi understood that Kyoko had recognized him and gave her a gentle smile.

The moment Dartz was defeated by the Divine Dragon Timaeus, the Orichalcos Barrier that had previously bound him within the Millennium Puzzle was also shattered by the slash, allowing him to escape the Millennium Puzzle and return to the real world.

"The game is back too? That's great." Keihei, who wasn't far from the game, also heard his conversation with Kyoko. The boy smiled happily at the return of the game.

"Hmph, you've become a coward again, Yugi." Kaiba remained as arrogant as ever, as if he would die if he expressed his joy at the return of the others. Even after his duel with Dartz, he still adhered to his superstitious scientific persona and did not believe in the "soul."

“Even if you don’t want to believe in supernatural things like ‘souls,’ but Nisa,” Keiping looked at the seahorse with a helpless expression, “could you put me down first?”

After defeating Dartz, everyone's souls returned to their bodies. However, Kaiba, worried about his younger brother's safety, acted too quickly and rushed to Keihei's side to pick him up before the barrier was lifted and Keihei had even woken up.

Fortunately, Guiping woke up relatively quickly and hadn't fallen asleep yet; otherwise, he would probably have been put into the plane by the overly energetic seahorse for emergency treatment.
