Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

Chapter 763 You are the Dragon!

"Seth!"

Witnessing the iron plate supporting Set, Kisara, and the others fall from the sky due to the broken chains, Aknadi could no longer maintain his indifferent demeanor. He excitedly stood up from his seat, looked into the deep pit, and shouted.

Everything he's done here, though done under the guise of righteousness, is perfectly clear to everyone, even himself. It's all for Seth. What's the point of all this if Seth dies?

Aknadi was enveloped in despair. His left eye, the "Millennium Eye," emitted a faint golden light. Just when Aknadi thought Set was about to die, he suddenly saw an arm clinging to a broken iron chain. Judging from the golden ring on the arm, it couldn't be a prisoner; it could only be Set!

With one hand clinging to the broken chain, Seth's other hand firmly gripped the handle of the Millennium Scepter. Kisara held the Millennium Scepter with both hands, which prevented them from falling into the deep pit together.

People's physical condition cannot be generalized. Seth's body is far superior to that of ordinary people due to years of training. However, at this moment, he is asked to use one arm to support the weight of two people, while the other half has to use only his grip strength to hold the handle of the Millennium Scepter, which is supporting Kisara's weight. Although he can barely maintain it for a while, he definitely cannot hold on for long.

In a melodramatic TV series, this would definitely be filled with scenes like "Let go," "I'd rather die than let go," "Goodbye," and "No!" and maybe even a foreshadowing of a reunion sixteen years later. But this is the world of card players!

"【Duvos】!"

He called out to the distance, but the [Duvos] that Seth had summoned earlier did not leave the scene because of his previous actions. At this moment, it was flying in the air with its pair of non-decorative elytra spread out.

As a high-level Slate Monster, flying is arguably the most basic ability. How could there be a Pokémon that can't fly?

Although Seth could barely hold on at the moment, Duvos, who could fly freely, could lend him a hand. Taking the two of them into the air was a piece of cake for Duvos.

But just as [Duvos] descended a little and approached Seth and Kisara, he suddenly stopped abruptly in mid-air as if he had hit something, and his limbs struggled but he couldn't move.

The sharp-eyed Seth immediately noticed that, as [Duvos] struggled, something faintly appeared in the sky due to the reflection of light: "Is that... a thread? Could it be—!?"

"That's exactly it, Your Highness!"

Following the direction of the sound, Seth looked up sharply and saw the Insect Queen hanging in the air on the silk net. Moth Feather, whom Seth had thought had fallen to its death along with the iron plate, was now hugging a section of the Insect Queen's body with an arrogant expression.

Seeing Seth and Kisara struggling to stay afloat, the Insect Queen immediately spat out a large amount of silk, binding Seth and Kisara to the chains, preventing them from falling.

However, this wasn't because he had suddenly become merciful and wanted to save someone. Because of the Insect Queen's silk, Seth's open gladiator was completely wrapped up by the silk threads. Seth's action of summoning another stone monster the moment he saw Mothfeather was also interrupted, and he looked at the arrogant Mothfeather with a gloomy expression.

"You used silk threads to weave a net and stay in the air to escape, you little bastard!"

"Chirp chirp chirp, say whatever you want, High Priest. Survival is the only thing that matters. We little people will fight tooth and nail for survival," Moth Feather smugly taunted. "Besides, do you really think I, Moth Feather, am some nobody who can only survive two chapters? Fool, I'll survive at least three chapters!"

"Now, it is my turn to 'judge' you, priest!"

Moth Feather laughed loudly, which made Aknadi extremely anxious: "Stop! Set is not your opponent. Are you disobeying my orders?!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Aknadi's words, Moth Feather raised an eyebrow and laughed contemptuously, "You must have misunderstood something, High Priest. Although I long for freedom, I know very well that you never intended to let us out from the beginning. Not only did you arrange for us to not achieve ten consecutive wins, but even if we did achieve ten consecutive wins, you would still kill us, wouldn't you?"

"In that case, I'll at least drag one of those high and mighty priests down to hell with me!"

Moth Feather grinned maliciously, and the faint "Eye of Ugato" on his forehead gradually faded.

'Because too many prisoners were subjected to mental interference, their inner desires and evil thoughts swelled, causing the effect to weaken!' Aknadi gritted his teeth in anger, but he was unable to summon the stone tablet monster.

Although Bakura had told some lies to mislead Yami Yugi and the others, he did do something to make the lies less likely to be exposed, including taking the stone tablets stored in Aknadi's Stone Tablet Temple.

This resulted in Aknadi having no stone tablet monsters to summon to assist Set at this moment, and could only watch helplessly as Mothfeather controlled the [Insect Queen] to approach Set.

"Go and taste the priest's flavor, my [Insect Queen]!" With a command, Moth Feather controlled the [Insect Queen] to pounce on Set. Set, who was entangled, was unable to summon the stone tablet monster, and Aknadi was unable to lend a hand. [Duvos] was also in a similarly bound state.

Just as Seto and Kisara were about to die from the Insect Queen's attack, Kisara's eyes gradually turned blue, and her long, white hair floated up on its own without any wind.

The immense magical power that Aknadi observed in Kisara was not an illusion, but a real phenomenon. However, unlike his guess, Kisara did not have any powerful spirits growing within her, nor was there any external force residing in her.

The source of this power has never been anything else but Kisara herself. Kisara has always been quite aware of the power she possesses, but she has never wanted to use this power on people.

Kisara's childhood encounter with Seth not only etched a bond between them but also left her with an admiration for Seth's fight for justice. Seth's image as a "partner of justice" was simply incredibly cool. Therefore, ever since then, Kisara has always emulated Seth, fighting to protect others.

For example, before, a village was targeted by Bakura's people, who organized many monster zones to attack and try to cause a massacre that wiped out the village. Kisara, the "girl of justice" and a partner of "partners of justice", naturally could not stand idly by and used her power to kill all those annoying monsters.

However, the aftershocks of the battle were a bit too great. Inadvertently, Kisara's battle affected a nearby river, causing it to change course. Also, because she was alone, Kisara couldn't deal with the corpses of the dead monsters. But these minor troubles were better than the death of the entire village.

Unfortunately, despite Kisara's many acts of kindness to strangers, they remain unaware of her contributions and continue to ostracize her for her unusual white hair. They mistakenly believe that Kisara always follows misfortune to protect them and that she brings bad luck.

Nevertheless, Kisara has always maintained a kind heart, ignoring the unkindness others showed her, and following the example of Seth who once saved her, she protects others.

Not long ago, on the day of the Pharaoh's coronation, Kisara, who did not enter the city due to her appearance, sensed the dark aura emanating from the royal city. Worried about the safety of Set, who served the Pharaoh in the royal city, Kisara, who had always stayed away from people and lived in seclusion, entered the city and has remained there ever since.

Kisara, who came here to protect Seth, is now in danger, so it's only natural that she has to step in!

As Kisara underwent an unusual transformation, a beam of light erupted from her body, enveloping her entirely and propelling her into the air to block the Insect Queen's attack!

At this moment, everyone in the dungeon stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing, including Mothfeather, Set, and Aknadi.

As the light enveloping "Kisara" dissipated, a pair of enormous dragon wings, blotting out the sky, unfurled, and a slender dragon tail coiled around and completely surrounded and protected Set behind her. The massive dragon head opened, roaring at Moth Feather and the [Insect Queen]!

"Roar!!!"

With its blue eyes and pure white, divine body, the dragon's features are exactly the same as Kisara's. Kisara, who was just a girl, transformed into a dragon to protect Set!

Looking at the white dragon before him, Seth remembered that it was this enormous white dragon that had avenged everyone in the village by wiping out all the slave traders who had destroyed his village and killed his mother!

"Blue-eyed, White Dragon! Is this your power, Kisara!" Seth murmured. Although he had wondered if Kisara was related to the White Dragon from back then, Seth never imagined that it wasn't just the White Dragon residing within Kisara, but that she herself was the White Dragon!

Because Set was in danger, Kisara, in the form of the holy spirit—the Blue-Eyes White Dragon—revealed a human-like angry expression, glaring at Mothfeather and the Insect Queen. The terrifying and dangerous aura emanating from her body made Mothfeather, who was originally confident of victory, extremely nervous, and her heartbeat accelerated.

"How...how could such a being exist? How could the legendary White Dragon God of the desert be real?!" Moth Feather, who had heard the legend of the White Dragon God who protected humanity from the desert from travelers who had crossed the desert, felt her hands and feet turn cold and she trembled with fear. "This is too much! There's no way we can win against an opponent like this!"

"No, it must be a hallucination! You can't fool me, it must be a hallucination!" Seemingly terrified to the extreme, Moth Feather even became somewhat mentally unstable, frantically shouting, "[Insect Queen], attack! Don't let it get near me!"

The Insect Queen, following Mothfeather's instructions, would naturally pounce on any unintelligent monster as she had just attacked Set. However, due to Mothfeather's successive victories and the swelling darkness within her, she had begun to develop intelligence and learned to read the room. Even ignoring the difference in size, the aura of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon opposite her was something a small fry like her couldn't handle.

No matter how much Mothfeather urged her, the [Insect Queen], which he had previously regarded as his most precious treasure, showed no gratitude for the effort he had put into raising her. She remained curled up in place, refusing to move forward, and even bent down to give Set and the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] a pleading expression.

However, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon didn't care about the other party's attitude at this moment. She remembered everything that had been done to Seth before. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, and dazzling light gathered towards the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's mouth.

Then, the dragon breathed on its target, and a dazzling torrent of light completely engulfed Moth Feather and the [Insect Queen] in an instant. There was no way they could put up any decent resistance. Faced with the white dragon's attack, they didn't even have time to cry out. They were wiped out of the world in an instant.

— Hopefully, that guy will have some sense in his next life and won't mess with people he can't afford to offend.

The torrent of light pierced through everything before it burst forth from the ground, creating a perfectly circular hole in the dungeon ceiling. Witnessing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the immense power displayed by Kisara, Aknadi, covering the Millennium Eye with one hand, exclaimed in awe, "What magnificent power! It's practically comparable to a god—no, it's even surpassed the power of a god!"

"Such power even surpasses the power of the three 'Phantom Beasts' that guard the Pharaoh. With such power, Seth will definitely become the Pharaoh!"

On the surface, the commotion caused by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the dungeon attracted the attention of many people, including Priest Simon, who was anxiously heading to the location of Yami Yugi because the Pharaoh was unconscious, and Seto Kaiba, who happened to be near the dungeon where the guards had been reassigned while trying to sneak into the palace.

"What is this 'treasure tile'?" Witnessing the light bursting forth from the ground, the seahorse felt a strange sense of familiarity, and it seemed as if something within it was drawing it in.

He originally planned to go to the palace first, but because of the appearance of this light, the seahorse changed his route and went to the vicinity of the dungeon.

As luck would have it, when the seahorse, relying on its ability to remain unseen by others, bypassed the guards and arrived at the dungeon, it happened to see Seth carrying Kisara as he left the dungeon.

Chapter 764 This was my fault, but I will not apologize.

The seahorse, curious about the woman with a familiar aura being held in the arms of the guy who looked exactly like him, followed him. Meanwhile, Seth didn't even notice that someone was following him and walked towards the palace on his own.

Just now in the dungeon, Kisara transformed into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and destroyed Moth Feather before turning back into human form and falling into a deep sleep. The rescued Seth had no mind to think about anything else. Filled with worry for Kisara, he went straight to the medical clinic he had just visited, intending to have the court physicians check on Kisara's condition.

The court physicians, who had just treated the comatose Pharaoh, the sleeping Hayato, and the exhausted Shada, had no idea they were about to be called upon again; they wouldn't be getting off work that day. The good news, however, was that ancient Egyptians typically slept late at night, so working overtime wasn't a problem.

And at this moment, within the [Millennial Wisdom Wheel].

"I can not accept!"

With a mournful wail, the radiance of the Winged Divine Dragon Ra shone down, completely erasing Bakura's figure from this world.

Before Hayato's eyes, the illusionary mirror constructed by Bakura, who had been dwelling within the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, vanished rapidly with Bakura's disappearance, revealing the emptiness that had once existed within the Millennium Wisdom Wheel. This was the first time Hayato had witnessed the scenery Malik had seen every day while trapped within the Millennium Wisdom Wheel.

Three thousand years later, the evil soul residing in the Millennium Wisdom Wheel first killed Bakura's father, who was obsessed with antiquities. Then, when Bakura touched the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, it invaded Bakura's body, which was still young at the time, and took over his mind. It also killed Shadi, who had been guarding him for decades, turning Shadi into a spirit.

Knowing this, Hayato first exorcised the evil intent within the Millennium Wisdom Wheel after acquiring it. Although this is merely a world of memories and cannot change everything that happens three thousand years from now, it at least eliminates the potential dangers Hayato might face when using the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, leaving him with no worries.

After all, even if Hayato's mind wasn't invaded by the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, there was no guarantee that Bakura wouldn't have other methods to steal information, such as sharing vision. So, just in case, Hayato decided to eliminate Bakura from the Millennium Wisdom Wheel.

As one of the Millennium Items, the Millennium Wisdom Wheel's special abilities do not include its internal space. This space was created by Bakura, imitating the Millennium Puzzle which housed the soul of the nameless pharaoh. It was specifically designed for souls and not for ordinary people to stay in. Therefore, after clearing Bakura's soul, Hayato planned to leave.

However, just as he closed his eyes to return outside, despite not having any active control over it, the [Spiritual Exophysical Body] detached from Hayato's body and appeared in this void world.

"Huh?" Hayato looked at the [Spiritual Exophysis] with some confusion. "What happened? How did you end up out here on your own?"

As he spoke, Hayato reached out to put his hand on the shoulder of the [Spiritual Exophysical Being], who looked exactly like him, to see what was going on. But to Hayato's surprise, the [Spiritual Exophysical Being] suddenly slapped his outstretched hand!?

Not only that, the [Spiritual Exophysical Body], which had previously acted like a mindless puppet, now surprisingly spoke, crossing its arms in a rather human-like manner and adopting an arrogant expression:

"Hmph, who gave you permission to touch the body of Pharaoh Yu?"

Whether it was the expression on his face when he spoke, or the uniquely arrogant tone, coupled with the face and voice that were exactly the same as his own, how could Hayato not recognize that the [Spiritual Exophysical Body] in front of him was simply the guy who called himself "Pharaoh" who had inexplicably fought him before?

No, it seemed inappropriate to continue using the generic term "Pharaoh" to refer to this guy. Hayato, who had some guesses about the identity of the person in front of him, looked wary and questioned, "How did you get in here, Meliamon!"

"So you've finally figured out who I really am, you fool?" Without any hesitation, "Pharaoh" admitted to his face that his identity was the same as Hayato's guess: he was the owner of Hayato's body three thousand years ago—Meriamon.

Hayato should have realized this much earlier. The name Meliamon was very strange. How could a mere commoner have the right to add the name of a god, "Amon," to his name? But if the other party were to become a pharaoh after the change of dynasties, then it would make sense.

Hayato, who doesn't know much about Egyptian history, has no idea which pharaohs were in the 19th Dynasty after the end of the 18th Dynasty, and he is even less clear about the ancient Egyptian history in this card game world.

"Pharaoh," Meliamon, looked at Hayato with a displeased expression: "Now that you know my name, what gives you the right to ask me how I 'intruded' into this place? Get this straight, you idiot! It was you who brought me and Nefertari, who should have been in the future, into this era without my consent, and committed an unforgivable crime—you took over my body without my permission!"

"The intruder is not me, but you!"

Undoubtedly, Meliamon held the upper hand at this moment, giving him a foothold for his previous harassment of Hayato. Ask yourself, if someone uninvitedly took over your body, how would you be in a good mood?

However, Hayato just shrugged when he heard Meliamon's words and said nonchalantly, "Although it wasn't my intention to choose your body, it's a fact that I took over your body because of Bakura's dark game."

"That was indeed my fault, but I will not apologize."

Looking at Hayato's self-righteous demeanor, Meliamon's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "I guess you're not the kind of person who would apologize to anyone else. No one knows you better than I do."

As he was speaking, Meliamon suddenly reached out a hand and pushed Hayato in the chest before he could react.

The next moment, Hayato felt dizzy and disoriented. He felt his spirit detach from the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, and his vision rose to the outside world.

Opening his eyes, Hayato found himself suddenly standing in front of a chessboard.

Chapter 765 Classic: A Fading Candle in the Wind

Although it's called a chessboard, the large area in front of him is more like a sand table, filled with miniature landscapes and ancient Egyptian architecture. However, because the sand table is marked with grids and Hayato also saw several chess pieces, Hayato thought it was a chessboard.

Hayato was immediately drawn to the few chess pieces in front of him, not because they were exquisitely crafted, but because they felt strangely familiar to him.

Putting everything else aside, the chess piece closest to Hayato, with its simple yet expressive facial features, is none other than Hayato himself!

Not only that, Hayato looked at the piece next to his own and saw a piece that looked very similar to Nefertari.

Is this some kind of board game? Hayato was reminded by the chess pieces in front of him that something had suddenly come to mind—from beginning to end, although on the surface Bakura's dark game seemed like a traditional role-playing game, it seemed that the game would end if the character he controlled died.
