Chapter 1339: New Pursuit

Slifer's Super Conduction Wave, Obelisk's Fist of Fury, Ra's Blaze Cannon...

The triple bombardment of the Egyptian Gods; there were almost no existences in the world that could take such an attack completely. Anubis took all three attacks completely; although his dragon body disintegrated, he returned to human form and was half-dead with only one breath left, but even so, it could be considered quite powerful.

At this time, Anubis had returned to human form, lying half-dead on the ground, his body gradually dissipating into dust, looking as if he were on the verge of death at any moment.

Dark Yugi walked to his side and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Anubis, perhaps your past is indeed related to me. But even so, I will not stop my steps; I will retrieve my memories, and during this period, I will not hesitate to defeat anyone who blocks my way," Dark Yugi said.

Anubis looked at him for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and laughed with some effort.

"Learned Xyz in just a moment, I admit, you made me... *cough cough*... surprised; perhaps you are indeed a strong person who possesses that level of power."

But after a pause, he turned to say grimly.

"But even so, that lord's power is far above yours."

Dark Yugi frowned: "Zorc?"

Anubis did not answer, only closed his eyes. Until this moment, just closing his eyes slightly, the image of that lord seemed to be able to appear in Anubis's mind immediately.

He had the honor of dueling with that lord and personally felt that power. That pressure, the overwhelming strength, made him believe that it was absolutely the only existence in the world, the only one worthy of the throne in the new era of darkness after the destruction of the old world.

"Then what about Dartz?" Dark Yugi asked again.

Anubis laughed when he heard this.

"I said it, that old immortal Dartz didn't figure out his position and overestimated his ability. Him and his so-called God of Orichalcos? Perhaps they really have the ability to destroy the world, but wanting to participate in this final game is ultimately not qualified."

Dark Yugi: "Final game? What do you mean?"

"Dartz is already a thing of the past," Anubis said. "The only thing that lord is interested in is you. You will understand, very soon..."

Anubis's body completely disintegrated, dissipating into ashes.

"Dartz is already a thing of the past..." Dark Yugi muttered. "Could it be that Doma has already been...?"

Some time ago, before Dark Yugi arrived at this great hall.

Under the dim yellow firelight, Dartz stood up in the flickering temple, his expression solemn, looking coldly at the phantom that seemed to have been projected into the great hall from the void.

"Hmph, after all, you are an old immortal who has survived for ten thousand years; your nose is quite sharp."

The black shadow let out a mocking laugh.

"Well, that's right. If a coward like you didn't have a sharp nose, you would probably have been slapped to death three thousand years ago."

Dartz's pupils contracted.

This voice, this aura...

"Zorc!?" Dartz was startled. "You are Zorc?"

Yes, Dartz also knew the Great Evil God Zorc.

This is a fact and also something Dartz clearly explained in the anime. It's just that Dartz spoke very arrogantly in the anime.

Dartz said he was on the scene in ancient Egypt three thousand years ago, personally witnessing the century-old battle between the then-Pharaoh Atem and the Great Evil God Zorc.

He said it lightly, with the demeanor of a high-ranking hermit, as if he had also participated in that decisive battle, and it carried a strange calmness that "Zorc is not bad."

However, if you know the truth, Dartz was actually wearing a hood, lowering his head, hiding far away among the onlookers, fearing that if he stood slightly closer, he would be affected by the two great gods fighting...

One benefit of living long enough is that you can casually brag that you were present at any battle that was recorded in history, and no one can stand up to correct you.

But precisely because he was really there in ancient Egypt, he had personally witnessed the strength of the Pharaoh and Zorc in the past, and he had more scruples in his heart just now.

In fact, if it weren't for knowing that today's Pharaoh had lost all his memories and even lost his true name that possessed immense authority, Dartz probably wouldn't have dared to casually plot against the Pharaoh.

And at this very moment, one of the two great gods of that year, the master of ultimate darkness, Zorc, appeared before him.

The darkness on the black shadow gradually faded, clearly changing into a human figure. It was a young man with a fairly handsome face, wearing a golden Millennium Ring on his chest, with silver hair, his expression lazy and playful.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not the person you think I am... at least not completely," the young man said lazily. "My name is Bakura now; you can just call me that."

Dartz was startled and suspicious.

It was indeed Zorc's aura; although three thousand years had passed, he was sure he would never forget such an existence after seeing it once. But upon being reminded by the other party, Dartz seemed to feel that the aura was indeed different from that year, as if mixed with other things, like it had gone bad.

Right, the current Pharaoh is a lonely ghost who lost his true name, and after that battle, Zorc probably didn't die but was heavily crippled; the one appearing before him now might also just be a remnant soul.

Since that's the case, there might not be anything to be afraid of.

So Dartz's back, which had almost withered, straightened up again, as if he felt he could do it again.

"Is that so, then Bakura it is," Dartz restored his high-ranking demeanor and said, "What do you want?"

Bakura tilted his head: "Nothing much. It's just that I've had people bring you words before, and now it seems we are a bit difficult to reach an agreement. There are some things you want, and I want them too, which is very difficult to handle."

Dartz said: "That can't be helped. If you are really the existence I think you are, you should understand that people like us clearly know what we want, and no matter what happens, it is very difficult to make concessions."

Bakura laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Is that so? If it were the past me, perhaps it would be. But now my goal has changed."

Dartz raised his eyebrows: "Is that so?"

The Zorc he knew had deep resentment toward the Pharaoh and the existing world, and his greatest wish was to drag the entire world into the darkness that belonged to him.

Is there anything changed now?

"I have seen a broader world and realized that the whole world I thought I knew was just the tip of the iceberg of 'reality'," Bakura said coldly. "The 'destiny' that you and your God think of is just a joke. Can you imagine that feeling?

Knowing that you will fail, watching yourself be destroyed and fall again and again, having endless power but being unable to disobey the torrent of destiny, the powerlessness of being unable to dominate anything?"

Dartz frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"I knew you couldn't understand. That's why I said you couldn't reach my realm, nor could you understand what I am pursuing... well, it doesn't matter anymore, you don't need to understand."

Zorc said, raising his hand, and the churning darkness transformed into a Duel Disk on his arm.

Then he curled his lips and showed a smile.

"Because you are going to be finished soon."
