Yu-Gi-Oh!: Don't you have your own cards?

Inside Duelist Suite No. 3, a solemn atmosphere prevailed.

Jōnei lay on the bed, a white cloth covering his head, surrounded by a circle of fresh flowers.

Everyone tried their best to control their expressions and not let their emotions show.

This is a funeral within the city.

As a good friend of Jonouchi, Honda took the lead and stepped forward with a bouquet of flowers.

"Jonnori! You died such a terrible death!! Waaaaaah!"

Next came the apricots.

"Rest in peace, Jōnei!"

Then there's Shizuka.

Her expression was the most interesting.

"Brother! You died so heroically~ Hahahaha"

Kyoko: "Hey, Shizuka, stop laughing! Yuten-kun said to cry more mournfully."

"I know, Anzu-neechan, but, hahaha, I just can't help it!"

At this moment, Otogi also stepped forward.

"Jonouchi, now that you're dead, can I date Shizuka?"

"Damn it!"

Lying on the bed, Jonouchi could no longer bear it, and he yanked off the white cloth covering his head.

When everyone saw his current hairstyle, they couldn't hold back their laughter any longer and burst into laughter.

Although he was now alive and well, showing no signs of death, his face was covered in soot, and his hair stood on end, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Although he had indeed just been struck by lightning...

Let's rewind 10 minutes.

Following the order of the bingo machine's ball draws, Jonouchi faced off against Rishid, who was disguised as Malik.

In the final moments of the battle, in order to convince everyone that he was Malik, Rishid followed the advice of the real Malik and used a copy of the Winged Dragon of Ra.

Just like in the original story, this duel immediately provoked the Winged Dragon of Ra's wrath.

The burning phoenix dyed the sky red, and lightning bolts rained down on Lishid and the city like divine punishment.

The difference is that this time, the Winged Dragon of Ra is like it's having its period, with the lightning strikes being far more powerful and numerous than in the original.

Just as lightning was about to strike the city, You Tian, ​​who had disappeared from the entire card game, suddenly ran out from the side. Without saying a word, he threw a card at the city.

click!

In the end, although Jonouchi was still struck by lightning, the card that Yuten threw out seemed to have shared some of the energy with him, and Jonouchi only suffered some external injuries.

On the other side, Lishid's situation was completely the opposite; he now looked like an African.

Thanks to the top-notch medical staff that Haima had arranged on the airship, Lishid was able to barely survive. However, judging by the airship's condition, Lishid would likely end up in the ICU.

Seeing the state of the castle, Yugi suppressed a laugh and stepped forward.

"Inside the castle, Yuten said that you were recently tainted by an unclean power and need to fake your death to ensure there are no aftereffects."

Veins bulged on the head of the man inside the city.

"I'm as energetic as a clam as a feather! There are no aftereffects whatsoever!"

Just then, You Tianyou walked in from outside carrying a bag.

"Hey, why are you sitting up? Lie down right now!"

"Let me tell you, this is a local custom. When someone encounters a great calamity, they fake their death to go through a ritual, just to put their mind at ease."

"And take this too."

As he spoke, You Tian handed over the two bottles.

Everyone looked at it and exclaimed, "Toilet cleaner?"

Game: "Youtian, what does this mean?"

You Tian simply smiled slightly.

"It is a custom in the legendary elven realm that with this, evil spirits cannot invade."

Although Jonouchi was puzzled by Yuten's series of strange actions, compared to the dying Rishid, Yuten might have really saved his life.

"By the way, You Tian, ​​what card did you throw at me back then?"

You Tian took out the charred card from his pocket.

【lightning rod】

Let's rewind 20 minutes.

Upon spotting a suspicious figure on the ship, Yutian, along with his Duel Spirit, gave chase.

However, who is Director Xia? He doesn't want anyone to find out, and even An Moliang, who wears the millennium compass, can't do anything about him.

Having searched in vain, Yuten could only obediently prepare to return to watch the duel between Jonouchi and Rishid.

But just then, he suddenly discovered An Moliang awake on the ship. You Tian was so frightened that he immediately hid.

Holy crap, you woke up so early??

An Moliang seemed to have sensed someone was there. He immediately activated the reconnaissance mode of his troublemaking wheel and walked step by step toward You Tian's location.

Oh no! This time, Mo Liang has really got his eye on us!

Or should I just swagger out and pretend I don't know he's An Moliang?

No way! He has that huge horn around his neck, even if I pretend to be blind, he won't let me off the hook!

The Sacrifice Demon and the Death Guardian were also extremely anxious.

Just as You Tian was preparing to fight to the death, Xia Di suddenly appeared, grabbed You Tian, ​​and took him away from the spot invisibly.

……

You Tian: "You are... Xia Di??"

……

Xia Di frowned slightly as he looked at the scene of divine punishment from the Winged Dragon outside.

"You Tian, ​​your arrival has caused too much dark power to gather on this airship."

"The power of evil people has been amplified, and even the collisions from duels have been amplified."

"I think the Winged Rathalos's wrath might just kill your friend."

Yu Tian: "What do we do then! The castle is about to be struck by lightning!"

Xia Di sighed helplessly and handed You Tian a [Lightning Rod].

……

"Why."

At this moment, You Tian sighed as he thought about this.

It seems that my arrival has indeed caused some changes in the course of the story.

Seeing You Tian's absent-minded appearance, the game player also frowned slightly.

"Wandering in the Sky".

You Tian raised his head.

"I know you're troubled by the newly emerged Dark Malik."

At this point, You Tian's eyelids twitched.

Just 10 minutes ago, after Lishid logged off, Dark Malik successfully logged on.

Moreover, Dark Malik appeared very quickly, without the struggle he showed in the original work.

In an instant, his hair exploded, and a dense aura of darkness emanated from Malik's body.

Malik: "Kimoji~ Finally, I can vent my anger however I want!"

"Game, I will bury you in the dark game!"

"Oh, right, and that You Tian too!"

"None of you will escape!"

A series of question marks appeared above You Tian's head. Wait, why is she so resentful towards me?

Having been exposed to dark forces for some time, Yu Tian naturally understood that Dark Malik's dark power was simply outrageously strong.

When You Tian witnessed this dark power firsthand, he realized that he had indeed underestimated the Dark Game.

This level of power is simply beyond the ability of the Nasagi Demon and the Death Guardian to withstand!

Moreover, he had just witnessed the angry lightning strikes unleashed by the Winged Dragon of Ra.

That thing truly lived up to its reputation as the leader of the three Egyptian Gods; its aura was indeed more terrifying than that of the Titans and the Sky Dragon.

……

Game: "The person who possesses the Millennium Item can initiate a Dark Game during a duel. The loser in the game will be dragged into the abyss."

"Furthermore, Malik also possesses the Winged Dragon of Ra."

You Tian also sighed helplessly.

Of course he knew that.

Kyoko: "It's only been two duels, and Mori, the tattooed man, and Jonouchi are all injured..."

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

Ding!

Just then, the loudspeaker in the room came on again.

"All duelists, please assemble in the lottery room. We are about to draw the opponents for the third duel!"

You Tian's heart sank.

What was bound to happen has finally happened. So, let's go.
