Duels should be played with a smile.

At this moment, Leyou was unaware that a surprise awaited her.

What he wanted to know more now was how to deal with this somewhat strange-looking Tyrant Judai.

Although the overlord armor and slightly gloomy aura were somewhat in line with the image in Leyou's memory, the Judai in front of him had given Leyou a strange and discordant feeling from the moment he appeared.

It's like...

"How you address me is your freedom. I am simply myself. Perhaps there have been beings similar to me in this world, but my will is always unique."

"So, please do as you please."

When you don't know how to answer someone's question, the best way is to throw the question back at them.

If you feel that simply throwing it back seems a bit dry, then add some riddles.

In recent days, Leyou has been telling riddles to others and being told riddles by others. His already proficient riddle-telling skills have now become even more refined.

Jaden was left speechless—at least, in Leyou's opinion, the gloomy aura surrounding Jaden had been somewhat diluted.

"In that case, I will address you by your given name."

"Enjoy travel".

The words, spoken with a hint of indifference, came from the mouth of Haō Jūdai. He seemed to be treating Leyu as a stranger.

“Player Leyu,” Jaden spoke again, “you’re not going to participate in the finals you should be participating in, but instead you’re blocking my way here. What are you trying to do?”

The two were talking near the exit of the players' tunnel. Just a few steps away, they could see what was happening in the center of the arena.

Professor Chronos, John, Edward, and Manjoume, a team of four, are working together to fight against the black giant that seems to be formed from countless Faceless Men.

"Now, the match has encountered a small obstacle. Step aside and let me clear that obstacle, and then..." Judai's voice became even lower, seemingly mixed with a hint of impatience.

"Then, go and participate in the finals you should be in."

If it were a fair four-on-one situation, Judai wouldn't need to be in such a hurry. He still has a certain level of trust in the strength of his former comrades. In this case, he only needs to be responsible for covering for them.

But now, the giant is holding four decks of cards and playing four different games against four different people at the same time.

The two sides haven't been fighting for very long, but the professor and his team are already showing signs of falling behind.

“Life cannot be rushed,” Leyou suddenly said.

These abrupt words momentarily interrupted Jaden's train of thought.

This wasn't the first time Jaden had experienced something like this. His former teacher would often suddenly say something that seemed to have no beginning or end, leaving him completely baffled. So, he wasn't in a hurry this time; instead, he quietly waited for what would happen next.

"I'm not entirely sure how you became this domineering person you are now, but based on my guess, you might need a little help?"

"Help?" Judai felt a surge of anger rising within him, but he quickly realized that the person in front of him was not his teacher, even though they looked very similar.

"There's no need to say anything more about such meaningless things. I did have a time when I desperately needed help, but that's all in the past. Now, I am the overlord who reigns supreme over the merged dimensions."

"What the Overlord needs to do is to resolve everything that threatens the fusion of dimensions, not to chat idly with you here and beg for your nonsensical help."

After saying that, Jaden made a move to leave, his helmet obscuring most of his expression. In the dimly lit corridor, Leyou couldn't see what his expression was.

"It seems I was right... You seem to have a habit of taking on everything yourself."

Leyou sighed. He couldn't understand why, in this timeline, Judai, who had another version of himself growing up alongside him, still ended up becoming the Overlord.

However, the overlord in front of him looked more like a character in his twenties from an anime.

“I don’t know exactly what you’ve been through, but in my personal experience, many times you can choose to trust other people.”

"There's no need for that!" the Overlord suddenly said sharply. "Those who lack ability but still try to be strong will only end up dying in vain."

Leyou's words just now were like hitting a sore spot for him, like reopening old wounds.

Leyou also sensed something from Jaden's momentary loss of composure.

'Death? If I'm not mistaken, it's Marufuji Sho? He's been in the Fusion Dimension for a while now. As Caesar's brother, even if he's a complete waste, he shouldn't be so unknown. If there's really no news about him at all... Although he's annoying, it seems this guy has left a deep impression on Jaden in another way.'

'Seriously, what a terrible person.'

Leyou slowly shook his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Is this the world's corrective power? Even after significant changes, Jaden still managed to become the overlord after all the twists and turns.

Fortunately, the current Overlord did not become an Overlord by going astray. Although we don't know the specific situation of Judai now, at least he is still a normal person.

"Try to trust other people. At least you know their capabilities. You may not trust others, but they have something worth trusting."

"Moreover, when you don't immediately choose to leave to do what you need to do, but instead chat with me for a bit, you already have a little bit of anticipation in your heart."

After saying that, Leyou took out his Duel Disk.

In reality, this kind of behavior—pushing out a duel disk after a series of riddles—would likely get you smashed, but in this world, it surprisingly works.

"What do you mean? I don't have time to play this kind of boring game with you right now." Jaden was a little surprised, but while he said he refused, he didn't leave immediately.

"The meaning is quite clear: let's duel. Some things are hard to explain," Leyou said calmly.

"Let's settle things with a duel. After the duel, I'll understand what you've been through, and you'll know how I feel about you now."

Leyou never thought she was good at speaking, but coincidentally, in this world, there are things that are infinitely more useful than empty talk.

"Besides, didn't you just say that dueling is a boring game? This isn't the cheerful boy I remember who could laugh and say 'Tanosi Dueldaze'."

“I was never the person you remember,” Judai said coldly.

However, he also pulled out his duel disk.

"The duels of the past did make me happy, but that's all in the past."

Jaden pondered for a moment, then took out his Duel Disk but did not immediately set up his deck.

He was pondering how he should approach the upcoming duel.

Having been a tyrant for so long, he had long since learned how to hide his true intentions. The emotions he just displayed were at most only half genuine.

Leyou was testing his thoughts, and he was also testing Leyou.

It was precisely because of this test that he is now somewhat hesitant.

'This deck... I'll leave it for the enemy. Even if he's not my teacher, he's not the enemy.'

While Jaden decides to use a different deck to fight Raku, Raku also decides on the deck he will use.

'This child seems quite ill; hopefully this deck will be of some use.'

The moment both players finished setting up their decks, their eyes met in mid-air.

Leyou raised the Duel Disk on his arm, looked directly at Jaden, and said, "I want to understand you now through this duel, and I also want to convey my thoughts to you."

Jaden snorted coldly, maintaining his indifferent expression, and said calmly, "Then I will use this duel to tell you that if you haven't experienced what I've been through, don't spout nonsense at me! A duel is not a game!"

"No, dueling is a game, a game that brings smiles to people's faces."

"Hmph, I hope you can still laugh after the duel."

"Let's wait and see!"

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

At the moment the duel was initiated, both sides simultaneously unleashed some power unrelated to the duel.

Raku's own power and Jaden's Overlord power simultaneously emanated from their bodies, enveloping both of them.

"Ah, great minds think alike," Leyou laughed.

"Hmph, just what I wanted," Judai replied coldly.

Both sides shared a surprisingly similar idea: to add an extra rule to this unusual duel.

That is, the power of the elves is completely ineffective.

In this duel, no one can summon their own deck; what cards they draw is entirely up to fate.

"Comparing Jaden to the bonds of heroes, I'm not that arrogant. We both fought in the purest way possible. I hope this purest and simplest duel can change Jaden. Of course, I can't bring back Jaden's smile like Yugi did, but I did teach Jaden for a while. Conveying my thoughts to him shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

'When dueling this guy, no matter what deck he uses, once he pulls it out, I can't stop him. Since I'm already using this deck, let's duel in the purest way possible. I hope this simplest and most direct duel will allow me to defeat him fair and square this time.'

The two sides had different starting points, but ultimately reached a surprising consensus.

Moreover, at this time, Leyu was unaware that in Jaden's heart, he had become a special kind of "meal substitute".

The idea of ​​using yourself as a meal replacement is just weird no matter how you look at it.

[Yuki Jaden: 6 PM]

[Leisure Tour: 1 PM]

The starkly different results made Leyou question his life. Only after seeing the completely unsurprised expression on Judai's face did he suddenly recall that Judai seemed to have always been incredibly lucky.

That's fine.

"The first strike is mine!"

"My turn!"

Judai glanced at his starting hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not perfect, but not bad either.

"In the main phase, I will defeat you alongside my hero!"

"Normal Summon Elemental HERO Solidman, and Special Summon Elemental HERO Shadow Mist Lady from your hand based on its effect."

The classic model worker hero made his appearance, and Leyou just felt a bit of a headache.

The next move by the tenth generation was not beyond his expectations.

"If I activate the effect of Lady of the Mist and successfully Special Summon her, I search for 1 Masked Change!"

"Next... the stage belongs to the heroes!"

With one hand raised high above the tenth generation, countless data streams instantly emerged and materialized.

"Reveal yourself! The Path of the Overlord!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: My New Universe Knight? Not Your New Universe Knight?

The moment the circuit representing the connection to the summoning appeared, Jaden's long-dormant heart and blood began to boil.
