Chapter 1336: The Believing Heart

"Utopic Dark Infinity's effect, recover Life Points equal to Dark Magic High Priest's ATK again!"

【Anubis, LP4200 -> LP7400】

So at this time, on Anubis's field, not only was Utopic Dark Infinity's ATK as high as 6000, but his own Life Points also reached the value of 7400, and the situation on the field was already an absolute advantage of crushing.

But Dark Yugi still didn't give up: "Activate Set Card, Trap Card 'Reckless Greed'! This card allows me to draw two cards from the Deck, but the price is that I must skip the next two draw phases!"

He drew two more cards from the Deck.

"Pre-spending your future means you are already at the end of your rope," Anubis said. "How ugly, Pharaoh, you actually made such a low-level mistake. If you had waited until after drawing a card next turn to activate this card, you could have originally drawn one more card..."

But soon he understood that this was not a mistake.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of 'Dark Illusion' in my hand!" Dark Yugi said. "This card can be Special Summoned from my hand only when I have activated a Magic or Trap card effect during the opponent's turn!

Come, Dark Illusion!"

What appeared from his hand was a pitch-black magician, whose outfit style was quite similar to Dark Magician, only darker and deeper, including the face part which was also pitch-black and completely invisible.

【Dark Illusion, DEF 2500】

"So that's it, to summon this thing," Anubis laughed. "But you don't think this kind of thing can fight me, do you?"

"No matter what kind of monster, there are infinite possibilities!" Dark Yugi said firmly. "Never doubting at any time, firmly believing in the possibilities of one's own monsters, and having unwavering confidence in victory—this is what a true duelist does!"

"Ridiculous! Monsters are just servants, tools to achieve victory! Only those who can command powerful monsters are worthy of holding victory!" Anubis said.

Dark Yugi: "I will not acknowledge you, and I will never lose to a guy like you! I believe in my monsters, my partners, our possibilities!

To my turn!"

Of course, because of the side effect of "Reckless Greed," he could no longer draw cards this turn.

Dark Yugi glanced at the cards in his hand and closed his eyes gently.

Strangely, he felt as if he could sense Dark Magician's heart.

Actually, this wasn't a matter of one or two days. Dark Yugi couldn't remember who he was, but he just knew that Dark Magician was different to him, and there was a faint feeling of heart-to-heart connection.

Including now, too.

It was as if closing his eyes, in a piece of darkness in his consciousness, he could face Dark Magician, and even if they just looked at each other silently, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

"... Are you asking me to believe in you?" Dark Yugi muttered.

In the darkness, like a hallucination, he seemed to see Dark Magician nod.

He could even feel the other party's iron-firm will. The black-robed magician slowly raised the staff in his hand, his firm eyes as if saying, even if he offered his soul, his body, no matter what, he would absolutely open up a future path for the Pharaoh.

"I understand."

Dark Yugi opened his eyes again and said to himself.

Yugi Muto behind him couldn't help but speak: "Other me."

"AIBO, are you willing to believe in me?" Dark Yugi looked up at him. Yugi Muto was startled: "Other me..."

"Honestly, in terms of winning percentage, I don't have much certainty. Facing such an enemy, Marauding Captain can probably only hold on for one turn, and our winning percentage is really slim."

Dark Yugi said, changing the subject.

"But even so, I still intend to win. It's just that what I'm going to try next, I actually don't have any certainty, nor any basis for success. But this duel probably doesn't just concern me; once I fail, even you, AIBO, might..."

Before he could finish, Yugi Muto said decisively: "I am willing."

Dark Yugi's expression softened: "AIBO..."

"It's come to this, why are you still saying such things? Haven't we always been like this?" Yugi Muto showed a brilliant smile. "Because we... are one in heart and body, right?"

Dark Yugi couldn't help but show a moved smile and nodded forcefully: "Yes."

He said, holding the Millennium Puzzle hanging on his chest.

It was this puzzle that linked their destinies together, allowing him to meet the most irreplaceable AIBO in this life.

He didn't remember who he was, and deep down he was even a little afraid that he was a tyrant, a cruel and incompetent king in his past life, afraid that once he regained his memories, he would become someone else, some kind of person even he felt strange to.

But now he was no longer afraid. Because there was only one thing he could be sure of.

Even if he regained his memories, even if he regained his personality from his past life, he and AIBO were absolutely irreplaceable partners, and even if the sky fell and the earth cracked, it absolutely couldn't change this point.

Thinking of this, a knot in Dark Yugi's heart seemed to have been untied. His thoughts were instantly clear, and the dark path ahead seemed to be illuminated by the sunshine named "AIBO," and from then on, there was nothing to fear.

He felt that if it were the current him, he could do anything.

"I activate Magic Card 'Owner's Seal' from my hand!" Dark Yugi shouted. "This card allows all monsters on the field to return to their original owner!"

A magic card that Youxuan quite favored, and it was a perfect match for big treasures like Lava Golem or Kaiju. But in fact, this card was originally held by Dark Yugi, and its first appearance was Dark Yugi using it in the manga.

It's not that it can't be understood. After all, in the DM era environment, various forbidden cards like Change of Heart, Snatch Steal, Brain Control, and Brainwashing were rampant, and it was already a traditional art. As a duelist living in such an environment, it was only natural for Dark Yugi's deck to invest in such cards.

"My Dark Magic High Priest, return to me first!" Dark Yugi waved his hand.

With his arm waving, it was as if some invisible command had been issued. The black lightning that had been binding Dark Magic High Priest was finally swept away, Dark Magic High Priest regained his freedom, immediately jumped up, and jumped back to his original master's field.

"Oh? You finally took back your High Priest," Anubis said indifferently. "But what of it at this point? In this situation, even your Magic High Priest is beyond saving!"

But facing this scene, Dark Yugi not only didn't panic at all, but instead curled his lips into a smile and gave a famous finishing declaration.

"That's not necessarily true."

Anubis's expression changed slightly: "Nani?" ===== CHAPTER 1337 =====
