Duels should be played with a smile.

Three monsters, each at the pinnacle in every sense, descended upon this place. Together with the heroic army, the guardian priests, and the dragon alliance, they launched a second attack on the already gradually suppressed Orichalcos.

The Supreme Proclaimer issued a divine decree, forcibly interrupting Orichalcos's repeated attacks.

The power of the stars blocked Orichalcos's attempt to summon his kin to fight.

Above the sky, Zeus, who descended in the form of "Eternity," wielded two great swords, one red and one green, to confront Orichalcos head-on. His two tails would also take advantage of any openings in Orichalcos's defenses to launch a few attacks at him.

The later-appearing Kuriboh gathered together the scrap Kuriboh, Kuriboh, Winged Kuriboh, and a bunch of other strange Kuribohs from Leyou's side, forming the Kuriboh Squad. They used their not-so-weak power to support the other main monsters.

The real pros are always the ones playing support roles from behind. Su Sheng Chestnut Ball, after a long absence, took out his fox head hat and returned to being a dutiful healer.

Olija was starting to panic.

What is all this nonsense?!

He had just awakened, so what was this monster he had never seen before? And the two beside him were no better; their strange powers made him feel restricted in both offense and defense.

Hundreds of heroes, with their agile movements, darted around all over His body, keeping Him constantly on the move. Even though He could defeat many heroes with a single breath, they would quickly return to the battlefield after only a moment, aided by the guardian priests and a swarm of various Kuribohs, much to His annoyance.

"Huh? Isn't it over yet?"

Ella, who had been lost in thought for some time, snapped out of it and realized that she had a significant advantage in the battle. After a moment's thought, she unleashed her power.

"Then... let me do it!"

"The Last Hope! [Shining No. 0: Hope of Different Heat and Unity]!"

"A Glimpse of Hope! [Glimpse No. 39: Hope the Emperor - Lightning Emperor]!"

"Deepest despair! [No. 98 Despair Emperor Hopeless]!"

"Hope of the Stars! [No. 99 Hope Emperor Hope Dragona]!"

"The origin of all things! [No. 100 Source Number Dragon]!"

"The End of Infinite Despair! [No. XX Infinite Darkhope]!"

"Go! Go and clear away all obstacles for him!"

Chapter 164 I Am Your Soul

"No! It shouldn't be like this!"

Surrounded by countless monsters, some He had seen and some He had never seen, but all except Kuriboh, the god Orichalcoatl, who was in the form of a great sea dragon, let out a mournful cry filled with fear.

"Stop! You can't do this!"

While conserving all his power for defense, the Great Sea Dragon tried to stop the monsters attacking him by shouting, but unfortunately, he was facing a monster army commanded by a few ruthless card players.

If you lose at cards, just obediently take the beating!

"No! You are going against the will of this planet! I am the embodiment of the planet's will! You cannot commit the sin of god-killing!"

Another shout, seemingly due to some hidden secret, made Jaden and Yusei slightly ease their offensive. However, when they saw that Yugi and Rayu remained unmoved, they continued to intensify their efforts without any mercy.

Even those who knew the situation best didn't stop, and the team commander didn't give any orders; these two henchmen just kept attacking.

“I know exactly what kind of being you are! So, you don’t need to struggle anymore!”

"In the name of the Pharaoh! In the name of ***!"

In the name of the Pharaoh, he will bear all the consequences that follow.

The game's words were resounding, and the two guardian priests beside him continued their relentless attacks on the giant sea serpent.

The king has given his final orders: they only need to eliminate the enemy and then continue to guard the king's side.

"The god of Orichalcos is the dark side of the planet's will. As long as darkness exists in the hearts of mankind, He will continue to exist. Even if He is destroyed, He will be reborn in the future."

While the Orichalcos God was being suppressed, Yugi explained the origin of the giant sea serpent to Leyou and the others.

Combining the game's explanation with his original memories, Leyou didn't pay too much attention to the fact that the god of Orichalcos would be resurrected later. Instead, he immediately summoned the End Sigma, the Dump Truck, and DRA and QUA to continue feeding the giant sea serpent that was already being brutally beaten in the legendary city.

"Let's eliminate him first... As for his resurrection later, let's leave that to the people of that era."

Upon hearing Leyou's statement, Youxi shook his head and chuckled, "Your mindset and thoughts... are as unpredictable as ever."

"But you're right, let's leave the future to the people who will come after us."

But this time, let him, the Pharaoh, resolve the matter together.

It's just the dark side of the planet's will! Let me bear it one more time!

The game didn't reveal its thoughts; it only planned to resolve the matter before checking on Aibo in this timeline, and then return to its own world.

In that world, although Leyou, that interesting guy, has disappeared somewhere, at least before he left, he allowed this person, who should have been sleeping forever in the underworld, to come back and play a couple of rounds of cards with Aibo when he occasionally felt the urge to play cards.

It would be even better if aibo's deck had fewer red cards.

"No! I am immortal!"

"I will return soon!"

"I have heard it! The lament of this planet!"

"Driving the call of darkness in your hearts, I will rise again!"

After Aeus's final strike, the god of Orichalcos, who looked impressive but whose fighting power was rather weak, fell in a very unimpressive manner. At the moment of his fall, the legendary city also lost its supporting power, fell from the sky, and fell into the sea along with the slowly dissipating remains of the god of Orichalcos, sinking to the bottom of the sea.

It was uneventful, calm, and didn't even cause a ripple.

It seems that everything has come to an end.

"Is it over?" Jaden recalled his army of heroes, still somewhat unsatisfied.

Before his true trump card could even be played, the enemy fell. This enemy was known as the dark side of the planet's will. How come it wasn't as tough as that guy who called himself Darkness?

"Okay, it's over. You guys go back now. I'll go check and then I'll meet up with you later."

As soon as he mentioned the game, the other four people all stared at him.

The other monsters were being recalled one by one, but the atmosphere among the five became increasingly awkward.

The awkward situation was broken when Mana pretended to accidentally lose her balance in mid-air and threw the chestnut ball into Yugi's arms.

At this moment, Yu-Gi-Oh realized that he had been the king of the underworld for so long that he had forgotten how to conceal his intentions.

With such a clumsy technique, Mana will definitely laugh at me when we get back to the Underworld!

Embarrassed, he wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Leyou stopped him, gently pushed him, Jaden, and Yusei aside, and flew towards the place where the Orichalcos had fallen.

"Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei, thank you all this time, but it seems that I have no choice but to handle the rest."

The crystal on his chest lit up again. Without much time to explain to the others, Leyou followed his intuition, grabbed Ella who had already summoned the Hope Dragon, and flew forward.

At the site where the god Orichalcos fell, just as predicted in the game, a mass of dark energy is gathering.

But to the game's surprise, when he realized what was happening and arrived here with Yusei Jaden, he discovered that the dark energy before him seemed to be slightly different from the one he had once carried.

"careful!"

Leyou and Ella were already standing next to the ball of energy, seemingly intending to absorb it.

"That contains the entire planet's longing for humanity, and within it lies countless resentments!"

"The darkness within will devour you! Let me do it! This is what I was meant to do!"

“No, it’s not just that.” Leyou continued, picking up where the game left off, “It contains not only the will of the planet, but also the prayers and supplications of countless human souls.”

"what?!"

"Haven't you noticed? Those souls that were originally captured because of Orichalcos have not yet been released."

The game had no way of knowing the current situation in the world, but Philvo transmitted relevant information to him just after the giant sea serpent was killed.

In the original anime, after the giant sea serpent was defeated, the souls of the others were freed. But now, Leyou clearly senses that the imprisoned souls are still making supplications and prayers within the black sphere before him.

He instinctively wanted to listen to these prayers and to liberate them.

"This is really... inexplicable. I just wanted to be an ordinary card player."

A sigh.

"But... this doesn't seem so bad."

"Just consider it a journey you have to go through to understand what you really are."

Amidst the somewhat surprised and doubtful gazes of the others, Leyou stepped forward and entered the black sphere that seemed capable of devouring everything.

He still needs my help.

"Thank you for coming to help me this time. I need to go help him now."

"Don't worry, I will bring him back safely."

Amidst the surprise of Jaden and the game, Isla stepped into the black sphere.

This time, their surprise stemmed from a different reason than before.

"If... I remember correctly, I don't think I've ever seen her speak more than five words at a time?" Jaden glanced at Yusei, who seemed a little confused, and then turned to Yugi to ask.

The game nodded and said, "Is it like this in your world too? In my memory, she was always very cold and rarely spoke."

"If her appearance hadn't been exactly the same, I wouldn't have been sure it was her just now... The difference in her speech, behavior, and demeanor was just too great."

Just as the two were about to start a long chat, Yusei, who had never met Ella before, wanted to avoid being an outsider, so he spoke up at an opportune moment and changed the subject to what they should do now.

"Things have entered uncharted territory. How about this, let's go back and inform Philvo; she should have a solution."

In my memory of the game, Philvo was the most reliable. Ella was almost invisible, and Yuki-onna's personality was too similar to that lazy guy from Leyou. They basically never did anything serious. Only Philvo always gave people a very reliable feeling.

The D-wheel started again, and the trio left, but just in case, they left the Kuriboh army here to guard the area.

Long after they left, the black sphere that had remained unchanged began to glow with emerald light.

Where is this?

Inside the black sphere, Leyou strolled around, surrounded by complete darkness, with only the crystal on his chest able to dispel a little of the darkness.

After entering, he felt that there was a spiral-shaped road under his feet, so he continued to walk slowly along this road.

The voices of the souls praying and pleading became much clearer after he entered. He could sense the various thoughts contained within them without having to listen at all.

Most of the souls captured by Dartz were powerful beings, and powerful beings are neither good nor bad.

In this unknown land that seems to have gathered countless souls, the souls revealed their truest thoughts.
