Chapter 1261

【Heart City Mr., LP0】

Heart City Mr.'s eyes turned white, losing their luster, his body struck by the final impact seeming weightless as it hung in midair.

He still lost.

Clearly this time he should have been on the correct side, clearly he should have chosen the victors' camp.

Yes, he believed the Thousandfold Sovereign would win, mere humans like him should have no way to oppose such a powerful existence. Just as he firmly believed that even if the world ended and humanity perished, he would still survive, even thrive, and hold power in the new world and new order.

So why did it turn out like this.

Back then, to survive, for power, he abandoned his birth family, his name, ultimately standing at the pinnacle of Heart City's power.

And now, to survive before a greater crisis, for more power, he abandoned even his human identity, even his own race.

Even so, he still couldn't make it to the end.

And what he least expected was that at the end of this ridiculous life, in his final moments, his father's face would appear before him.

The father who taught him to survive by any means, yet was ultimately discarded together with the family as abandoned pawns.

"Looks like in the end we still chose wrong, Father."

But the next moment, the fatherly image that had appeared like a revolving lantern suddenly began to twist in his eyes.

The human face vanished, distorting and warping into a shape of pitch-black chaos. The dark visage, demonic eyes burning like ghost flames, his form seemingly without limit swelling madly, in an instant standing tall between heaven and earth, obscuring the entire world Heart City Mr. saw.

That was. the Thousandfold Sovereign!

In an instant, even his consciousness, already blasted near annihilation, was jolted awake. Heart City Mr.'s pupils contracted in the space of consciousness, he exclaimed: "Thousandfold Sovereign, my lord! Wait, wait a moment."

But the other did not stop, even seeming not to have heard him at all, only slowly spreading his five fingers, reaching out with that immeasurably huge palm, as large as if pressing down on Sun Wukong with the Five Fingers Mountain.

"You had your chance, you missed it."

A cold voice sounded in Heart City Mr.'s mind.

"There will be no more."

"Wait, please! Next time, again next time, give me one more chance, I will, I will——"

The anguished cry was as if silenced by boundless power, together with Heart City Mr.'s all his unwillingness, all his will to survive ground into powder.

"."

Fujiki You Xuan watched as Heart City Mr. fell from midair, his body dissolving into energy fragments.

"He just dropped like that." Fujiki You Xuan rested his chin, "The will of the Thousandfold Sovereign?"

Though the Thousandfold Sovereign's true form was not here, the power erupting now indeed looked similar. Probably buried from the start in Heart City Mr.'s body like a time bomb, set to detonate when he failed.

Seeing Heart City Mr.'s body disintegrate, that energy still ceaselessly devouring and decomposing everything left of him, Fujiki You Xuan quickly made a gesture to signal.

At the same moment, white light flashed, the Silent Mage leapt from the transparent magic circle, her pure white staff, already prepared with incantation and power, pointed forward.

White radiance surged, like a fountain erupting, instantly forming a translucent protective shield that rapidly contracted.

Protecting the deck Heart City Mr. left behind within it.

Yes, Heart City Mr. may have fallen, but that deck was protected by white light at the very moment before corruption. The pure white shield surrounded by complex white magical sigil rings, the corrosive darkness bursting from Heart City Mr.'s body incessantly washed against the sigil barrier, but could not harm it in the slightest.

That mass of dark aura seemed to find it could not harm this white barrier, so it retreated, gathering itself before the residual power fully dissipated into a form resembling a half-human shape.

Thousandfold Sovereign: "."

Speaking reasonably, this old thousand having lived so many years has probably never seen this before, never encountered such a person.

How could someone, right after a duel ends, have their first reaction be to summon spirits to protect the opponent's deck?

But actually, speaking reasonably, there's no need for Fujiki You Xuan to speak up to remind, the Silent Mage had already prepared in advance. Her staff had long been brewing magical fluctuations, stored and ready to release, so she could flash out the instant her master commanded.

Otherwise, waiting to hear the command then acting on the spot could never be this fast.

In other words, the Silent Mage had actually anticipated that her master would demand she act to protect the opponent's deck.

"If you want it, then I'll give it to you." The Thousandfold Sovereign's residual coldness said.

Though Heart City Mr. held "NO. 1", after all it was hand-rubbed by the Thousandfold Sovereign, merely having a portion of his power additionally infused, not particularly precious. Losing it is just losing it, not worth heartache.

It's just that the opponent actually forcibly saved the deck from destruction from his hand and snatched it right in front of him, such brazen thievery. No, this cannot even be called thievery, it is openly and shamelessly robbery.

Such behavior itself can already be said to be contempt toward him as a god. As a mortal, daring to have such conduct.

"I remember you, human." The Thousandfold Sovereign said, "We will meet again."

After saying this, the last trace of residual presence vanished, turning into mist and smoke.

"Yeah, probably will."

Fujiki You Xuan shrugged, said.

"But don't make me wait too long."

Fujiki You Xuan took the deck floating from the Silent Mage's hand, unfolded it and quickly glanced over.

Heart City Mr.'s main slot should belong to the "Infection" series, though this deck in the anime only had a few cards total, and low presence and popularity, still no physical cards to this day.

Naturally most notable is its ace, the "NO. 1" numbered face monster Infection Fly King·Baalzebuth. Though this thing's summoning condition is three eight-star monsters, appearing is indeed somewhat costly, considering summoning condition level it's not very usable.

Of course Fujiki You Xuan tentatively still kept it. Cards aren't disliked for being many, even if unusable, keeping them as backup does no harm.

If one day in the future he happens to obtain a very powerful eight-star specialized deck that deploys extremely fast, then this card might come in handy.

Conversely, if he doesn't keep it now, then when he someday has a powerful eight-star deck and finds he has no usable extra card in the side deck, that would be too regrettable.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! card pool, there are very few cards said to be truly absolutely useless, only cards with relatively few applicable scenarios. But if given specific environment and specific conditions, theoretically any card has a chance to be useful.

This is also why everyone often says as long as Konami truly has heart to strengthen, even a pig's head can be lifted to fly. No undrivable deck, only insufficient thighs.

At this moment ZONE also raised its altitude, slowly flying to Fujiki You Xuan's face, beneath its armor casting an interested gaze.

"Xyz Summon.?"
