Chapter 1158: Everything Returns to Darkness

Duel Academy, nightfall.

On the coast by the sea, Chazz Princeton sat at the bottom of the observation tower, looking into the distance with a somewhat hazy gaze.

Thick fog permeated the sea, the searchlight tore through the fog wall, and the golden light slashed down from the top of the cast-iron observation tower, like a spear thrown by a god, stirring the viscous fog into a spiral vortex.

"Master, so you are here."

Chazz Princeton came to the shore and sat down beside Aster Phoenix.

The reason he called Aster Master was not because he was convinced by the other party's superb card skills or the title of King of Games, but because he didn't recognize Aster as a master of Dueling at all, but rather a master who taught him the skills of picking up girls.

Yes, that's right, Aster Phoenix is a famous lover in the academy. In addition to the hardware condition of being handsome, his emotional intelligence is also maxed out. It is said that as long as he takes action, he will definitely get it, and no girl can resist his damn charm.

But at this moment, this lover who is always full of energy looked at the sea, but his expression seemed a bit... lost?

The thirty-meter-high tower body was looming in the fog, and the rusted metal frame made a "creak—creak—" groan as the light beam rotated. Whenever the light turned to the due east direction, one could see the reefs under the cliff that had been gnawed into fang shapes by the waves, their shadows growing and collapsing wildly in the strong light, like a group of black believers kneeling and worshipping the light.

Chazz noticed that his mood was wrong: "Master, what's wrong? What are you doing here alone?"

Aster pondered for a moment and said, "I'm trying to write a memoir."

Chazz: "Memoir?"

"Yeah, the life at Duel Academy is about to end, and I'm trying to make a summary of these three years." Aster said.

He was originally in the same grade as Zane Truesdale and should have graduated last year. But because he disappeared during his time at school, was captured by Darkness, and later bedridden, he suspended his studies for a long time and delayed his graduation, but ended up graduating in the same year as Jaden, Chazz, and others.

Aster looked into mid-air and said: "Thinking about it now, these three years are really full of memories.

I still remember that when I entered school in the first year, there was a girl who was crazy about me. I still remember that the girl tried to build a life-size statue of me with books in the social science area according to the height-to-weight ratio, but was caught and scolded by the librarian before she succeeded.

She argued loudly at the time, saying that she was using bibliometrics to express her love for Aster..."

Chazz was dumbfounded.

Huh? This sounds impossible to succeed, right?

Aster continued to recall: "There was also a girl who deliberately spilled reagents in the alchemy class, making my white lab coat turn pink when it met alkali, and the result was that 'You are my PH7' invisible text appeared on my cuffs.

After that, our grade added a course called 'Guide to Preventing Harassment in Lab Coats'..."

Chazz: "??"

What is this again? Is it really possible to do this kind of thing?

"Speaking of which, there was another girl who controlled the auditorium's follow-spot during an activity, and suddenly hit Professor Crowler with a backlight while I was reciting, with the caption saying 'You are like the prince who obstructed Romeo,' but she was later punished by the furious professor to copy the complete works of Shakespeare..."

Chazz sweated: "No, why do I feel that there are talented people around you, Master, in these three years..."

"Yeah, it's all youth, every bit of it is youth worth remembering." Aster said, "So I'm considering writing a memoir now, and I want to record all these lovely girls one by one.

Even if I can't give them all happiness, at least I want to let them live in my heart forever."

"Master." Chazz was moved.

Is this the highest realm of a lover?

"Then how is your memoir coming along?"

"It's here." Aster took out a small notebook, "I'm trying to start by recording all their names, and the first three pages are all names."

Chazz opened it with full expectations, but was stunned.

Because he only saw three blank pages.

"There's nothing here, Master." "Yeah, that's the problem."

Aster's expression became serious, he patted his head and said in a deep voice.

"Because... I can't remember."

"They disappeared from my memory."

Domino City, on the street.

A duelist wearing glasses gasped for breath and said with difficulty: "That's enough, I can't fight anymore, I don't want to duel anymore."

"Is that so?"

The duelist opposite sneered.

"Then consider it your loss. You gave up this duel, and also gave up your life."

The bespectacled duelist was puzzled: "What are you talking about? What life?"

The person opposite smiled: "Don't worry, this is not a bad thing, it means your consciousness has unified with us, and you have become our comrade.

If you don't believe it, you can try to recall it and see, what is your name?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? My name is of course..."

The bespectacled duelist froze suddenly when he said this.

That's right, my name... what was it again?

It feels like this matter is very important, but it also feels like it's not very important...

What is my name, is it really necessary to remember this kind of thing?

"You have begun to understand, that's right, that's it." The duelist opposite smiled, "Give up thinking, and give up fighting hard.

In this cruel world, just living is already exhausting. So give up, and hand everything over to us, so you can be happy forever."

The bespectacled duelist's gaze began to become unfocused. He thought about it and felt it made sense.

"Yes. Thinking or something, it's completely... meaningless."

"That's it, so hand over your memory and your existence to me." The duelist opposite smiled, "Your existence will be wiped out, the memories of you by everyone you know will disappear, until the recognition of you by this world will also disappear together.

Then you can truly become 'us'."

"Yes." The bespectacled duelist nodded, "I will become... 'us'."

As the voice fell, a burst of black mist surged up, as if countless pitch-black cards were wrapping him. When the black mist dissipated, the bespectacled duelist had completely transformed; his originally slightly fat figure became tall and thin, wearing sunglasses, a black tight leather suit, and a cold smile hung on his upright face.

He became a "Mr. T."

"All will, returns to Darkness." He said.

While speaking, a group of black mist permeated the street behind him. In the pitch-black mist, Yusuke Fujiwara, a former Obelisk Blue student of Duel Academy and now an agent of Darkness, walked out slowly.

"Well said, all will returns to Darkness."

Yusuke Fujiwara smiled lightly.

"Even the 'King' is no exception." ===== CHAPTER 1159 =====
