Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

……

"Lulululul~~~ Fat cat, come out quickly~~~~"

With one hand fiddling with a cat toy and the other holding a flashlight, Wanzhangmu, who was searching the forest with his elf, Disturb Yellow, shouted into the depths of darkness, "Fat Cat, where are you? Come out quickly."

"Meow~"

As if luring Wanzhangmu, after he shouted this sentence, the meow from the Pharaoh echoed in Wanzhangmu's ears.

Following the direction of the voice, Wanzhangmu raised his eyebrows and turned his head.

Then, he discovered the alchemical symbols under his feet, the glasses of the teacher of Daitokuji Temple, and the figure of the curled up Pharaoh.

"Finally I found you, you bastard!"

He bent down to pick up the glasses on the ground, stared at the mysterious symbol with a frown, and a bad premonition inexplicably flashed through his mind.

He always felt that he seemed to have stepped into someone's trap...

"Meow~~~"

Seeing that Wanzhangmu did not move, he frowned and thought about the current situation.

Pharaoh meowed again, raised his paw, and walked in a certain direction with his tail wagging.

"Is there something in that direction?"

Wanzhangmu's mind was filled with doubts. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow the Pharaoh.

Then, he found the tie and shirt that originally belonged to the teacher of Daitokuji Temple scattered on the ground...

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the shore of a lake shrouded in white mist.

"…Who on earth is playing such a stupid joke?"

With the help of the flashlight, he stared at the thing under his feet that was suspected to be the underwear of Mr. Daitoku-ji, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Who the hell wants to see a man’s shorts?

Give me something good!

Mystery man:"……"

"……who?!"

The complaining behavior was all seen by someone.

Feeling the strong evil breath coming from someone on the other side of the lake, Wanzhangmu frowned and asked for a while, then couldn't help but turn his gaze and the light to the opposite side.

"Who are you...?"

Looking at the man who was wrapped in a gray cloak and exuding an ominous aura without any intention of hiding under the light, Wanzhangmu's bad premonition began to become stronger and stronger.

At this moment, he was finally sure that he was led here by the man in front of him.

This man must be closely related to the disappearance of Daitokuji teacher!

"..."

Still no sound was made. The mysterious man, who was being questioned harshly by Wanzhangmu, silently raised the duel disk in his hand.

"Humph! Duel? You...are you the last Seven Star King?"

With the corners of his mouth raised, a confident smile appeared on his face. Looking at the mysterious man stepping on the water, Wanzhangmu also followed suit and took a step towards the river in front, then stood on the lake as if he were walking on flat ground.

"...Before you lose, remember my name!"

He bowed arrogantly in what he thought was a cool pose, raised his arms, and shouted towards the sky: "I am... one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand lightnings!!!"

“Ohhhhhhhh!!! You are worthy of being the big brother! So handsome!!!”

"That's right~~~Brother Manjome! Beat the crap out of that pretentious guy on the opposite side!"

Amid the cheers of the disturbing brothers, accompanied by the surging waves, Wanzhangmu fearlessly faced the mysterious man in front of him, raised the butcher knife of resistance, just like Asuka who fell before...

Mystery man:"……"

Without showing any expression, the mysterious man who was verbally dissed simply took a posture of accepting the challenge...

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Youxing and his group, who were heading in a different direction from Manzhangmu, found the Pharaoh curled up under a relatively hidden tree.

"Found it! It's the living Pharaoh!"

"Great... This way we can follow the clues to find Daitokuji Sensei!"

"Oh my goodness, you're hiding here? It's so hard for me to find you!"

Yusei, who held the fat cat in his arms, also showed a relieved expression on his face.

With the appearance of the Pharaoh, the search journey that has been stuck in a dead end will also see a turning point.

Next, we can move to the end.

"Pharaoh, do you know where Daitokuji Sensei is?" With a serious expression, Yuki Judai asked the cat master about the whereabouts of a certain cat slave.

"……Meow?"

It seemed like he understood it, but it also seemed like he didn't understand it at all.

Anyway, after hearing Yuki Judai's question, the Pharaoh stretched out his claws and pointed in a certain direction.

That direction was exactly where Wanzhangmu had gone before.

"...Hmm? Which direction?"

"Is it possible...?"

"Anyway... let's go over there and take a look!"

They nodded to each other, and under the guidance of the Pharaoh, everyone walked towards the target.

After passing through dense forests and small paths, the group arrived at the lake where Wanzhangmu had been before.

Then... they saw a series of cards floating on the lake and on the shore, as well as the figures of the three disruptive brothers in frustrated forward bends.

“…Brother!!!”

"……how come?"

Having witnessed Wanzhangmu's defeat with their own eyes, the three brothers still had a look of despair on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Yujo Judai dropped the flashlight in his hand to the ground...

"It seems that Manjōme had a duel with someone here and was defeated..."

Analyzing the current situation, Youxing added: "These scattered cards, and the traces of someone who doesn't exist here... I guess Manjomu must have met the last of the Seven Star Kings, right?"

"...The last of the seven stars?"

“…At this time?”

Seeing the tragic situation at this moment, everyone had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the last Seven Star King.

With Wanzhangmu's strength, he is already among the best in the Duel Academy.

The number of people who can suppress him can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

And how powerful must the Seven Star King be to be able to defeat Wanzhangmu!

415 Signs of Destruction

In the basement of Duel Academy, the cards of the "Three Phantom Demons" are sealed.

The mysterious man who defeated Asuka and Manjomu in the duel appeared here.

After inserting the three keys, including the key to Daitoku-ji Temple, into the sealed pedestal, the mysterious man who accomplished all this remained silent, stepped aside, and quietly waited for what would happen next.

Professor Chronos, Marufuji Ryo, Daitokuji Temple, Tenjoin Asuka, Manjome Lightning...

After collecting all five keys one after another, the sealed pedestal began to emit a brilliant blue light.

Although the keys of Yuki Judai and Yusei have not been collected yet, in its current state, the seal has already shown obvious signs of loosening.

As a result, there was the strange scene that Youxing and the others were seeing now.

Along with the violent shaking occurring on the entire island, five rainbow-colored beams of light shot up from the bottom of the deep sea and rushed straight towards the gloomy sky covered by dark clouds.

These light pillars that suddenly appeared around the island were like some kind of barrier, directly blocking the nearby sea area and turning the Duel Academy into an isolated island.

No one can enter it, and naturally... no one can leave.

"This abnormal shaking...what on earth happened?"

"Ahhh... Five beams of light have enveloped the entire island... Does that mean that the five keys other than ours have been taken by the King of the Seven Stars?"

"Manjome and Asuka... they have already..."

"Sure enough, even Daitokuji-sensei has already..."

"…You must be kidding, right?"

"...Is the seal of the Seven Star Gate about to be released?"

Without time to feel sad about the disappearance of Manjome and Asuka, Yousei felt the violent shaking of the entire island and picked up the cards scattered around, his brows tightly furrowed.

This time's change is far greater than any previous one.

Before they knew it, the two key guardians had been knocked down one after another.

Obviously, except for the keys held by Yusei and Yuki Judai, the keys of everyone else have been placed on the sealed pedestal.

There is no need to check in person or rely on luck.

The changes happening before our eyes are the best proof.

"That's it..."

[Disturbing Yellow], who was picked up from the ground, made a crying gesture in the card and complained to Yusei and the others: "...something bad is going to happen!"

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! So it is! The seal is about to be broken…Brother, let’s run away!!!”

Witnessing the sudden changes in the world, Marufuji Sho, who did not have the courage to confront the mastermind behind the scenes, decisively chose to run away: "...If the three phantom demons are really resurrected, the entire island will be swallowed up by them!"

"What are you talking about! Xiang!" Seeing his little brother being so cowardly, Yuujo Judai's face immediately showed an expression of disappointment: "Now we are the only ones who can stop the Seven Star Kings, okay!"

"...We can't escape. What we should do now is to quickly fight the last Seven Star King!"

"I think so too."

Nodding to Yugi Judai's suggestion, Yusei continued, "...I can't turn a blind eye to Manjome, Asuka and the others. I plan to rescue them no matter what."

It's "I", not "we".

In other words, even if everyone else present backed out, Youxing was ready to go on his own.

"Hmmmm... That's true..."

Marufuji Sho was left speechless and shrank back in embarrassment.

In such a critical decision, his choice was indeed very disappointing.

Thinking back to the words that just came out of his mouth without thinking, his face slowly began to turn red.

"There is still one of the Seven Star Kings left...which means..." Turning his head, Youxing narrowed his eyes and pointed in the direction of Yucheng Judai.

"Ah! I know..." Yuki Judai opened his arms and unfolded the Duel Disk, his face full of fighting spirit: "I have also felt it strongly! This... is our final duel with SevenStars!"

……

The old building of Duel Academy.

In a laboratory deep underground.

In the pitch-black space, the mysterious man who left the sealed place and returned here also keenly felt that Youxing and the others were heading towards him.

Just as Stand users are attracted to each other, there is also a mysterious connection between the guardian of the seal and the snatcher of the key.

There was no need to look for him deliberately. After the mysterious man made no attempt to hide himself, his location had already been exposed to the elves' perception.
