Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

And just like that, this childhood battle between Saiou Misatomo and Ed Phoenix ended with Ed's victory.

It is worth mentioning that the Destroyer Phoenix, which has an attack power of 2500 and is the trump card of Ed, appeared with great momentum, but only played a supporting role in this round...

552 Blood Demon-D's Shadow

"Yoshi! Ed won! D-HERO is indeed strong!"

"Go! Misaki... Next, it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"

As Saiou Misatomo's health points dropped to zero, the duel ended with Ed Phoenix's victory.

According to the previous agreement, Misaki will no longer be able to stop everyone from leaving, and must give up his plan.

Seeing the end of the duel, Yusei and Yuki Judai raised their feet and came to Ed's side as the three-dimensional image dissipated.

Then, the three of them looked at Misaki who had lowered his body subconsciously due to the damage he had sustained.

"……I know."

After a moment's silence, Misaki slowly stood up.

Looking towards where Ed was, she slowly said, "...Ed, you really didn't disappoint me! If you have this power, you will definitely be able to save your brother, right?"

"… Save your brother?"

Listening to Mishouchi's somewhat inexplicable words, the victorious Ed couldn't help but frowned as he put away the duel disk in his hand: "What do you mean? Does Saiou need someone to save him?"

The current Saiou has already built up his own power in the Duel Academy.

Even those outside the Duel Academy have heard of the name of the Light Society.

As the leader of the association, Saiou shouldn't need anyone to save him.

Mishouchi, what on earth is she talking about?

"Well...it's understandable that you would react like this!"

With a soft sigh, Mishouchi blinked his eyes and continued, "...In fact, my brother now has two personalities: a gentle and kind one, and a devil who enjoys leading the world to destruction. He has become a person with a dual personality..."

"Dual personality? What's going on?" Hearing this completely subverted cognition, Yujo Judai couldn't help but ask: "Mishouchi, you mean... the current Saiou is not the real Saiou, right?"

"Yeah, that's what happened." Mishouchi nodded gently, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face: "My eldest brother has had the ability to see through other people's fate since he was a child. After realizing this, the people around him felt very uncomfortable and gradually distanced themselves from us."

Yujo Judai: "...How come?"

Yuki Juyo, who grew up in a relatively wealthy family, naturally could not understand the despised and displaced life of the Saiou siblings.

Listening to the story on the other side that was beyond his imagination, Yuki Judai could only show a helpless expression on his face.

Before coming here, he had many complaints against Saiou Misatomo, the mastermind behind the incident.

But after learning about the other person's life experience, his dissatisfaction disappeared and turned into an emotion called sympathy...

Saiou Misaki: "But, precisely because of this, precisely because we are both rejected by others, a bond far stronger than that of ordinary siblings has grown between the two of us."

"I was connected by this bond, and I felt the change that happened to my brother one day."

Yusei: "Saiou's...change?"

"Well, on that day, a strange duelist wrapped in a black cloak came to my brother's mansion where he was doing divination... That person handed a white ominous card to my brother... And I was standing next to him at the time and clearly felt the ominous power emanating from that card."

"Although I told my eldest brother to discard the abnormal card... but it was too late by then. My eldest brother... had been controlled by the card and enveloped in pure white light. A new evil personality was born in the depths of his heart..."

"...What is that card?" As if he had vaguely guessed something, an indelible gloom appeared on Ed's face.

If she guessed correctly, that card...

"That's right, Ed... It's just as you thought. That card is the Hero Card that suppresses evil with terror and contains the light of destruction! It's also the original Destiny Hero - Blood-D!"

Ed: “……!!!”

Saiou Misatomo: "The card called Ultimate D can lead the universe to destruction, and from it, something that we call the root of terror was born..."

"The source of terror?"

"The original D-HERO that was stolen from my father had this ominous thing in it from the beginning, right?"

"No! Rather than this matter... According to your explanation, the card is now in the possession of Saiou?"

Finally, the clue to his father's murder was found, and Ed's emotions began to become quite excited.

She walked up to Mishouchi and looked at him deeply: "Mishouchi, you knew about this from the beginning, right?"

"..." Being stared at by Ed, Mishouchi subconsciously avoided her gaze.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "No, the card disappeared out of thin air after it turned my brother into what he is now."

"It disappeared... this..."

After a slight pause, Ed wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, the surrounding digital space suddenly began to shake violently.

"Oh no! This place is going to collapse!"

Feeling the changes around him, Mishouchi frowned and immediately waved his arms to his side.

As she moved, a portal appeared in front of everyone.

"…The program is starting to crash. Everyone… hurry and get out of here through the portal!"

"Misaki...what are you going to do?"

Without rushing to get away from here, Ai De looked at Misaki who was standing in front of him without making any movement.

She seemed to want to stay here...

"Heh... Ed, hurry up and leave here with your friends... This is a program I designed, and the reason I did this is to digitize my own soul, and then save my brother's soul in another way."

"…Why would you do this??? If you do this, won't you…"

"Just like you have things you should do, I also have things I must accomplish." Shaking his head slightly, Misaki stopped everyone from saying anything.

In this digital space, she is a supreme being like the creator, and therefore will not be harmed by the collapse of space.

But it’s different for outsiders like Youxing.

After taking one last look at Ed, Mishouchi waved his hand and forced everyone into the portal.

"Mishouchi...you!"

"Ed... and Yusei, Yuki Judai... let's meet again someday in the future!"

“Please use your power to turn Saiou Takuma back into the kind brother he once was, and stop the wheel of fate that is leading the world to destruction…”

The group of people were engulfed by the light of the portal, and their figures gradually disappeared from this space.

The last scene they saw was the figure of Saiou Misatomo, who smiled and said goodbye to them in a world that was gradually collapsing, and then gradually disappeared.

After entrusting the task of saving Saiou to Ed, she accepted her fate calmly and stayed alone in this lonely digital space.

From now on, maybe forever...

She will live among everyone in another way.

"Ah! Misuchi... I promise you! I will use all my strength to save Saiou's soul!" I don't know if Misuchi heard it or not, but at the last moment of transmission, Ed still shouted his inner thoughts to her.

After saying this, Ed left this space with Yuxing and the others and was teleported back to the gate of Kaiba Paradise.

……

At the gate of Seahorse Park, a beam of light descended from the sky.

The figures of Youxing and the other two who had entered the building before were also teleported out in this unexpected way.

Looking at Yusei and his group who were teleported out, Muto Sugoroku and Misawa Daichi, who were guarding the door of the building, looked at each other in confusion, then stood up and walked to the crowd.

"Ohh! Is everyone okay?"

After greeting the young people, Muto Sugoroku asked about their conditions.

"Ah, the time has been resolved...Mishouchi, I mean the mastermind will no longer attack us."

Looking at Ed who was silent and seemed a little depressed, Youxing explained the situation inside on her behalf.

Of course, he did not say anything about the Light of Destruction and Ultimate D.

He only told the two that Ed had a duel with his childhood friend inside and won.

"Hmm, I see. So, everything that has been going on during this period of time is caused by Saiou's sister?" Misawa Daichi touched his chin and listened to Youxing's explanation, nodding his head with an expression that showed deep agreement.

"Hmm? Misawa, you're here?"

He tilted his head, and after hearing Misawa Daichi's voice, Yuki Judai seemed to realize the existence of Misawa Daichi.

"...I'm always here, okay? I've been worried about you guys!"

After hearing what Yuki Judai said, several black lines immediately appeared on Misawa Daichi's forehead.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he immediately expressed his protest and condemnation: "Come to think of it... Judai, you guys actually never played with me! This is really too much!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry~~~I'll definitely do it next time!" Yuki Judai shook his hands perfunctorily, with a bean-shaped sweat on his head, and laughed.

While Yusuke Judai was chatting with Misawa Daichi, Yusei, who noticed Ai's current situation, took the initiative to talk to the girl: "Ai...are you worried about Misato's condition?"

"...Hmm." He shook his head and then nodded.

The silver-haired girl frowned, looked into Yusei's eyes, and then said: "Although it was her own choice, Mishouchi is still trapped in the virtual reality world... I know she is not dead, and her body is also sleeping in this facility... But, this result, I still find it difficult to accept..."

"How should I put it? I think Mishouchi is quite interesting..."

After carefully considering his words, Youxing smiled and said, "At the beginning, Misaki's attitude was quite arrogant. She threatened that if you don't come here to see her, she won't let us leave Tomino City..."

"But when we really came here and learned more about her past, we found that she was not the evil female devil we imagined..."

"And now, she said she will help us solve the problem of Saiou in another way... To be honest, I also feel a little nostalgic..."

Youxing scratched his nose and blinked: "It feels weird, right? I just met her not long ago..."

"...Heh! Yusei...are you attracted to her?"

Folding his arms, after listening to Yusei's words, Ed raised his head slightly: "... Friendly reminder, she is not an easy person to capture, okay? Although she is not a brother complex, but Mishouchi has a cold attitude towards others!"

"If you were alone with her, you would realize that she is a very difficult person to get along with."

"Well... since she was a child, she has been treated as a monster by others. I can probably understand her inner thoughts."

Without directly expressing whether he was interested in Misaki, Yusei said, "I think, apart from you and her brother who grew up with her, she wouldn't trust anyone else..."

"Well……"

"Hmm? Are you discussing how to rescue the people inside?"

Noticing the conversation between Yusei and Ed, Muto Sugoroku immediately walked up to them and said enthusiastically, "Why don't I go talk to Kaiba Seto and let him think of a solution!"

"Then, Grandpa Shuangliu, I'm leaving it to you!"

"Ah! Leave it to me without worry! You guys, just continue to enjoy this rare school trip!"

Giving everyone a reassuring look, Muto Sugoroku stretched his old waist and immediately waved goodbye to everyone.

After Misaki's incident was temporarily resolved, Yusei and his crew, no longer worried, resumed their school trip and then successfully returned to Duel Academy.

Watching Yusei and the others leave Domino City safely, Saiou finally realized that Misuzumi was defeated by them.

After showing a crazy expression, he also made up his mind that he must lead the fate of everyone to destruction!

553 Alice of Duel Academy

"Oh~ I'm so busy~~~ I can't handle it all by myself!"

"...In this situation, I really want to borrow the cat's hand~"

"They are a bunch of nagging fellows. If they don't clean up properly..."

Just as Yusei and his friends finished their school trip, they took the regular ferry that traveled between the island and returned to Duel Academy.

In a room of the Duel Academy, Aunt Duomei was also cleaning the dust in the room.

After the death of the teacher in Daitoku-ji Temple, the fat cat Pharaoh, who was temporarily being taken care of by her, lay lazily beside her, meowing from time to time.

It is impossible for the fat cat to work. All he wants to do is eat and sleep.
