Duels should be played with a smile.

"Ha ha--"

Gasping for breath, K looked utterly disheveled.

But... he was neither sealed away nor destroyed.

He still exists.

As long as he exists, he remains the creator, possessing the authority of a creator, and can do many, many things.

And... the duel ended the moment Victory Dragon attacked.

"Now that the duel is over... After using two items, I can free up some time to shield myself from the interference of the world's will..."

"What do you mean?" Leyou frowned and stood in front of Xue Nu and the others, blocking K's malicious gaze.

"What do you mean... Hehehe, it means I can use my creator's authority at will to manipulate you outsiders and natives at will!!!"

"Cricket is a defeated opponent, and you... as creations of the world itself, you cannot resist the power of the Creator!"

The situation is changing.

Leyou sensed that something around her had changed.

K is also changing; his body is gradually transforming from the size of an ordinary person.

It no longer resembles a human being, but rather a collection of great beings from countless religious myths.

To put it bluntly... it's ugly in a very abstract way.

At the very least, both Jonouchi and the game look somewhat nauseating.

As a half-Cthulhu enthusiast, I find this quite interesting.

The Snow Maidens and the others were all in a similar situation, gazing at the enormous creature that was growing larger and larger with curious eyes.

Neither they nor the women showed the slightest sign of panic.

"Aren't you afraid?" Leyou turned around and asked.

The game chuckled and said frankly, "We believe in you. You may seem unreliable, but you're dependable in crucial moments... If you're not panicking, we don't need to be either... Besides, to be honest, the current situation is a bit beyond our comprehension."

And you?

"Don't we know you?"

"Uh...that makes so much sense, I can't argue with that."

Ahead, K had completely transformed into something else, muttering something incessantly, but no one could understand its meaning.

He reached out his hand to Leyou, but only stirred up a gentle breeze; nothing else happened.

He seemed somewhat puzzled by the fact that Leyou and the others were unharmed, looking at himself with some suspicion, and then at Leyou.

"I said... have you really forgotten?"

"As an outsider, I was indeed tricked by you once, but at that time, I wasn't the real me!"

The crystal on his chest shimmered faintly. Behind Leyou, the Snow Maiden, Ella, and Philvo exchanged a smile, then transformed into crystals and flew into Leyou's chest, filling the void.

"Ha...this is the real me now!"

With a furious roar, Leyou gained complete control over all his power for the first time. It was the power that the being called "Eternal Calamity" should possess, and it was a completely new possibility that the being called "Leyou" had.

He is joyful wandering, and He is also eternity.

"I'm just an ordinary duelist passing by!"

Leyou's consciousness was momentarily slowed down, and she knew that in the next second, she would completely take control of everything that belonged to her.

But in that instant, he vaguely sensed that a guy who looked seven or eight parts like him was smiling at him from somewhere.

"......"

"Tch, it must be you, right?"

"I'm a fun person, so no matter how you look at it, it's your fault, right?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to complain anymore. After all, my existence is also thanks to you... Just wait, when I find you, we'll definitely have a good battle!"

The little incident was nothing to worry about. When Leyou came to her senses, she had completely transformed into a different person.

That was the same look I had seen many times before.

The appearance of the Sky Thunder, which once protected me and was different from others.

"So, they were already hinting at it to me all along?"

The body is divided into two shades in the middle, one side dark red and the other white gold, with a huge crystal in the center, reflecting everything in front of it.

Its wings and tails not only serve their original purpose but also act as powerful weapons for both offense and defense. In addition, it is covered with countless weapons and armor, making it no exaggeration to call it a humanoid mobile fortress.

But these are all just superficial.

As a concept, the true power of Eternity has never lay in these things.

As long as the concept of possibility exists, eternity will never perish.

Somewhat awkwardly moving this body, Leyou gazed at the ready-to-fight K and uttered his first words through this body.

"My name is Eternal Calamity! I exist for the very concept of possibility! At this moment, I will annihilate all enemies of possibility!"

"Perish! You have committed the sin of falsehood!"

The three-colored crystals coalesced into a giant sword, which Yongjie wielded and slashed forward, the blade piercing through K's body without leaving a trace.

K seemed completely unaffected.

However, in the eyes of Eternal Calamity, the existence named K has had all its possibilities severed.

Anything that has no possibility of existence will simply vanish silently in the endless passage of time.

Soon, K noticed something was wrong. His godlike body was gradually dissipating, and he slowly returned to his original form, becoming even weaker.

Looking up at the colossal, indescribable giant, K felt utterly terrified. Having lost all possibilities, he too felt abandoned by the world and unable to use any authority. He crawled laboriously on the ground, struggling to leave this place.

He was weak in all four limbs and eventually collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

He looked up at the sky, and it seemed as if he saw countless monsters charging towards him, their eyes filled with rage.

He closed his eyes helplessly and shouted loudly.

"Don't come near me!!!"

……

In the city of Domino, at the entrance of an unremarkable card shop, the owner was directing several half-dragon maids to pack their luggage, seemingly preparing to temporarily close the shop for a while.

"Little Red, go and help Little Green tidy up the inner room. Little Black, go and help the butler organize the shop. Little Pink, go check on Little Blue; she seems to have disappeared again. Is she hanging from the tree again...?"

"You're very busy, aren't you, some 'great being' saving the world?"

"That's enough. What's wrong with you? Have you been corrupted by the seahorse too?"

He punched Jonouchi in an annoyed manner, but Rakuyu pushed him away with a look of disgust and went into the store to help Ella pack her luggage.

"Saving the world is all nonsense, an illusion. I'm just an ordinary duelist passing by."

"Just passing by?" Jonouchi frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"That's right, I was just passing through. This world is indeed quite interesting, but after that, my mind suddenly had a lot more things about this world."

"After all this, there's not much unknown about the world for me anymore, and I've suddenly lost interest—you should understand, possibility itself means the existence of the unknown, so I need to adjust my mindset a bit."

"I don't understand." Jonouchi readily admitted that his brain was overloaded.

In short, I want to travel, and my destination is another world.

"Oh, I understand now." Jonouchi suddenly realized, then asked, "When are you coming back?"

"I don't know... In this world, we play cards every day, I'm almost sick of it."

"I'm the kind of person who finds it hard to focus on the same thing for a long time."

"I get it, you mean you're a womanizer, no wonder..." Snow Woman suddenly appeared and teased from the side.

"Get out of here, what are you doing getting involved... To be honest, I am indeed a womanizer, otherwise there might only be one of you instead of three... Of course, it's not just that I have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time, my energy is limited, and I'm also quite lazy, so I don't actually have much time to learn about many other things..."

"I understand, your survival instinct is practically overflowing." Philo, who appeared with the Snow Woman, nodded, but the teasing smile on her face was completely undisguised.

After catching the snow woman who had quietly appeared and vigorously ruffling her hair, Leyu said to Jonouchi again, "Anyway, that's all. Just let Yugi and Kaiba know for me. We'll talk about the rest next time I come back."

Why not go and say goodbye to the game and the seahorse yourself...? Leyou can only say that if you really go, you might not be able to leave without playing a few rounds of cards.

Leyou wasn't lying. After playing cards for so long, he was really about to throw up... The early stages were okay, but later on, he played some incredibly boring competitive games every day, and his blood pressure was about to drop!

A few days later.

Looking at the few guys who came to see him off, Leyou shook his head helplessly.

"When you come back, I think we can talk about who gets the title of Duel King again."

Hmm... this is alright.

"Wu and I will be waiting for you to come back. When that time comes, let's have a duel and see who comes first!"

No, no, I'd better not.

"Hmph! Kisama! Winning and running away, that's really your style! I don't believe any of that pseudoscience! Just you wait! I'll find you before you come back!"

Uh... compared to a macho man like the seahorse, Leyou thinks his own wives are much better.

"You guys are so incredibly enthusiastic."

"See you next time!"

……

In the primordial universe, on Earth, on a neon-lit street, a man and three women walk intimately together, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

"Aren't you going to explain the matter of eternal calamity to them?" Snow Maiden asked in a low voice, holding Leyou's hand.

"There's no need for that... The existence of Eternity is to promote the birth of more possibilities, but for that world, as long as new cards appear and new duelists appear, that world will have endless possibilities and an unending future."

"And... I have another method that can actually help them a little."

Leyou raised his hand and pointed into the distance. Xue Nu looked in that direction and saw several bright red letters—KONAMI.

"You think it wouldn't be...?"
