Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

He was about to achieve his goal and take back the key that the other Saiou had given to Ed...

646 The spirit behind appears

"Um……?!"

"This feeling is..."

Just as Evil-minded King's arm reached for the key to the satellite control device on the ground, he suddenly felt a very familiar and uneasy breath.

Feeling the change in the aura, Evil-minded King frowned instinctively, quickly gave up the move to take the key, and retreated backwards.

"You guy..."

Looking at Ed who was still standing there, the Evil King narrowed his eyes, with a very solemn expression on his face: "Another me...you, are you back? At this time!"

“Back…back?!”

"What's back?"

Looking at the seemingly puzzling behavior of Sai Ou, everyone who had been freed from the restraints and regained control of their bodies couldn't help but have rows of question marks in their heads.

It looked like King Sai seemed to sense some danger from Ed, so he decisively gave up this great opportunity to seize the key.

And because his mentality became disordered, the restrictions imposed on everyone's bodies also dissipated into nothingness, and everyone was able to be freed from the abnormal state just now.

"My turn, draw cards."

Being stared at by the Evil King with a firm gaze, Ed did not respond to his opponent's question.

He just straightened his body slowly, and then waved his arms and drew a card from the deck very calmly.

However, even so, even though Ed did not show any fierce momentum, everyone could clearly feel that her aura had undergone a drastic change at this moment.

It was as if she had become a completely different person now.

"Next, it's my turn."

Speaking calmly, Ed pulled out a card individually and held it in his hand.

From the perspective of Evil King, a blurry figure could be vaguely seen behind Ed at this moment.

And this existence that appeared behind Ed like a ghost was the main personality of the original Saiou that had separated from his body before.

After leaving his own body, he possessed Ed's body, waiting for the opportunity to come.

And until this moment, until Ed dueled with the evil-minded Saiou, and when he was in crisis due to various unfavorable factors, he finally chose to show up, and instead of Ed who was in a state of frustration and doubt, he wielded the butcher knife of resistance against his other self.

The story started by him will eventually be ended by him.

“…I release the [Destiny Hero·Disc Man] on my field and Upgrade Summon [Destiny Hero·Sprint Man] (Warrior/Dark/6 Star/Attack: 2100/Defense: 1000/)!”

Placing the card in his hand on the deck of the Duel Disk instead of the Round Man, Ed (Saiou) clenched his palms and said, "Activate the effect of [Destiny Hero: Sprinter], and release a monster on my field, and increase its attack power by 1000 points until the end of the turn..."

"I Special Summon you to my field and release [Arcane Force 3 - Queen] (Attack: 1300) to change it into the attribute of a dasher!"

([Destiny Hero·Sprinter] Attack power: 2100→3100)

Evil Mind King: "Tsk! Attack power 3100..."

As Ed's voice fell, the black warrior on the pulley under his feet also received a corresponding bonus, temporarily gaining basic attributes that surpassed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

At this moment, even when facing the [Mystical Power 2500-Demon] with an attack power of 15 on the Saiou field, he had enough ability to resist.

"Fighting, sprint man attacks the demon, lightning critical strike!"

Extending his arm and pointing directly at the [Mystical Power 15-Demon] on the Saiou field, Ed gave the order to attack.

The sprinter who received the instruction lowered his body and rushed straight towards the devil in the next moment.

Dodging the multiple arms extended by the demon, the Sprinter leaped straight into the sky, then swooped down from top to bottom, using inertia to split the demon's body into two, shattering it into black void dust.

“…Ughhhhhhh!!!”

Affected by the damage at the same time, Saiou instinctively crossed his arms in front of himself while feeling the pain.

(Zaiou LP: 3500→2900)

"... [Destiny Hero: Sprinter] will change to Defense Position after the battle... I will end my turn like this."

Unexplained tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and Ed, who had completely cleared the front of Saiou, subconsciously reached out his hand and placed it on his cheek.

At this moment, Ed also felt the aura of the familiar Sai Ou.

He did not disappear, but stayed by her side, protecting her safety as a spirit behind her.

"Sai Wang, are you here? You are here beside me..."

Slowly closing his eyes, at this moment, Ed's consciousness sank into his inner world of heavy rain.

Ai De spoke to the Saiou who was somewhere in his inner space and sighed sincerely: "I thought it was my turn to help you this time, but in the end, you helped me."

"I'm sorry, Ed... for getting you into such trouble."

In response to Ed's words, the shadow of Saiou appeared in Ed's inner world.

He opened the black umbrella in his hand and held it above Ed's head.

"…What are you talking about? Saiou, isn't it natural to help your friends? Why are you apologizing to me?"

Unable to understand Saiou's thoughts for a moment, Ed couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, all of this is the light of destruction, and all of this is caused by Saiou's other personality.

Saiou himself was also a victim. Not only did he not do anything wrong to himself, but he also handed the key to himself.

He had done nothing wrong, so why should he apologize?

"Ed..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him, the King sighed and continued, "I am not qualified to be your friend..."

"Sai Ou…"

"I saw through my own doomed fate, so I have been desperately looking for a way to transcend that fate... and through the results of divination, I learned of your existence, so at that time, with a purpose in mind, I came to you who had lost your father and took the initiative to greet you."

Avoiding Ed's gaze, the King turned his head and looked straight at the dark place with heavy rain: "I want to escape from the shattered fate, so I deliberately approached you..."

"I am so small and powerless. In the end, I am just a slave to fate... Because we were born with the special ability to see into the future, Misaki and I have been ostracized since we were young. Others are afraid of our abilities and regard us as monsters."

"Even if we want to seek warmth from the world and seek help from others, all we get is wailing and rejection... Perhaps, these experiences have unknowingly made me fall into the abyss of loneliness, and have also fostered the dark side of my current personality in my heart..."

"At that time, my heart was filled with despair, so I could only choose to obey fate... No, should I say rely on fate? After all, I firmly believed at that time that only by doing this and following the guidance of fate could I keep my mind from being destroyed and not become a member of that revengeful society..."

"I, without realizing it, began to use the power of Tarot cards to see through other people's hearts and live my life. Ai De... the same is true for you."

"Isn't this nice?"

After listening to Saiou's confession in silence, Ed said this.

Even with such a growing experience, Sai Wang still maintains a kind heart. What else is there to say about him?

"Ed?"

After receiving the unexpected answer, the surprised Sai Ou couldn't help but widen his eyes.

And Ed then spoke up and expressed his thoughts.

"Saiou, although I cannot empathize with you and understand the pain you are going through, but for you now, you already have other indispensable things that are enough to support your life, right?"

"It's the same for me... I originally had the purpose of revenge, and I used the [D-HERO (Heroes of Destiny)] that my father left me as tools for revenge and to fulfill my own selfish desires... But now, they, who were created by my father, have unknowingly become my friends and have become indispensable to me."

"After my father died, when I thought there was nothing I could trust in this world, the cards were the only ones that didn't betray me, so I trusted them."

"When I first met you and your siblings at my father's funeral, I felt a warmth similar to the warmth I felt on my card."

"So, I'm really happy to meet you brothers and sisters."

After a pause, he stared at the surprised Saiou, and said word by word with an extremely sincere tone: "You and Mishouchi... Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life... It is because of meeting you that I can get over the sadness of losing my father and truly embark on the road of my destiny."

"...Zai Wang, since you said that I am the one who can help you escape from the fate of destruction, then I will save you from the fate of destruction!"

"Ed...you..."

Hearing these words from Ed's mouth, Saiou was so moved that he couldn't even give a decent reply for a while.

This may be the first time in his life that he felt the warmth of humanity from someone other than his family.

"Although I am glad that you have the intention to save me, it is too late now."

Shaking his head, the King of Sai showed a sad look: "Ed, I have seen clearly that fate... the fate of destruction is impossible and cannot be changed... I..."

"Never mind those so-called prophecies!"

Placing his hand gently on the king's shoulder, the king's slightly surprised face was reflected in Ed's azure eyes: "...What I believe in is not the so-called fate, but you who once helped me!"

"As long as you firmly believe that fate can be changed, I will break it for you to see!"

Saiou: “……!!!”

……

"Ed...Ed!!!"

"Ed, wake up! Stop being dazed, we're still fighting!"

Hearing Yusei and Yuki Judai's shouts, Ed suddenly came back to his senses from his inner space.

His vision gradually became clear. He looked at the scene in front of him, and at the empty field across the field, where the evil king was staring at him with a strange look. Ed finally realized the current situation.

Yes, I still have goals that I must achieve.

In order to fulfill his father's last wish, to help the King escape from his ruined fate, and to make his once stagnant time continue to flow...

Ed Phoenix, you must win this duel! You must defeat the other Saiou who calls himself the Will of the Light of Destruction!

"Hmph! It's my turn, draw a card!"

With an unhappy snort, the Evil-minded King, who had suffered a rare setback, frowned and pulled out a new card from the deck.

Feeling the presence of his other personality that was hindering him, Evil Mind King directly showed the card in his hand and activated it: "Equip the magic card [Reverse Regeneration] to activate! According to the effect of this card, I can select a [Mystical Power] monster in the graveyard to special summon it in attack position, and equip this card!"

“…I choose to revive [Mystery Power 15-Demon]! Come back to me! Demon!!!”

As Saiou shouted almost like a roar, the alien demon broke through the restrictions of Su Sheng and reappeared in front of him in a perfect posture.

At the same time as he appeared on the stage, a constantly rotating card appeared above his head.

"This time, [Power of Mystery 15-Demon] will gain the effect of the reverse position." Under Saiou's intentional manipulation, the card above the demon's head finally stopped in the reverse position.

By doing so, the demon also gained another effect that was completely different from the previous one.

"The reverse effect of [Arcane Power 15 - Demon] is that when this card attacks, it destroys all monsters on the field... Of course, this effect also includes the Demon itself."

"Varied……?!"

"Fight! Demonic Scourge!"

As Saiou's ruthless command sounded, the demon teleported behind the person charging.

Under the gazes of everyone, it quickly stretched out its multiple arms and restrained the entire body of the person who was sprinting from all angles.

647 If you want to end your destiny, this card, which is the starting point of your destiny, is the most suitable!

Under Saiou's instructions, [Mystical Power 15-Demon] revived from the cemetery, using a new power different from the previous one, sent itself and the Sprinter in Defense Position on the Ed field to the cemetery where the dead were sleeping.

As the two monsters disappeared from the field at the same time, the frontcourts of both sides became empty at the same time, which was a bit strange.

By the way, since [Destiny Hero: Sprinter] was destroyed, the effect of the Continuous Magic Card [D-Composition] on Ed's field was automatically activated, adding a D counter to itself.

At this moment, two opposite D symbols light up simultaneously on the image of the magic card.

"Next, I ambush a card, and the turn ends."

He put a card in the backcourt, and with a bad look on his face, he looked towards Ed: "Ed, since you insist on resisting fate until your death, I will destroy everything!"

"Until everything disappears... including the monster hiding behind you! I will turn everything into nothing!" A gleam of hatred flashed in his purple eyes, and the Evil King pointed forcefully behind Ed: "Another me, at this point, are you still going to stand against me and continue your fearless struggle?"
