Chapter 1365: New Companion Unlocked

"Seto..."

Akhenaden felt his body lose its weight, like a feather in the high sky, drifting down with the wind.

Truly incredible.

Three thousand years ago, Akhenaden had always been proud of his son. He had always believed that Seto was born extraordinary, firmly believing that Seto had superior qualifications and greater power than the Pharaoh.

And then there was that woman who possessed the White Dragon spirit, the strange fate between that woman and Seto, as if the White Dragon was born destined to be Seto's power. Precisely because of this, Akhenaden had always firmly believed that Seto was the one who should become the Pharaoh.

But even so, he had never thought that Seto would have the ability to win against his current self.

Having obtained this brand-new deck called "Vylon" from Lord Zorc, he deeply felt the power of this deck and felt even more that this was the power that should belong to Seto.

No matter how strong Seto was, limited by the era, he could never defeat himself using this deck... That should have been the case.

But the opponent actually used those primitive, inefficient cards, that backward power, and really broke through the limitations of the era to surpass himself...

Akhenaden closed his eyes gently.

In the darkness before his eyes, his whole life seemed to flash back.

Devoting his life to the previous Pharaoh, exhausting everything for the Egyptian dynasty. And the thing he could never forget in his life, the massacre in the Thief Village, the forging of the Millennium Items stained with endless blood; to this day, the souls of those sacrificed seemed to still linger in his ears...

He had carried too many sins, too much blood, too much darkness in his life. But he did not regret it. It was the power of the seven Millennium Items that saved the dynasty that was almost destroyed by enemy nations; if he hadn't made those sacrifices, the country would have long ceased to exist.

So he would rather carry all the secrets alone.

Yes, the sins that neither the other priests nor the Pharaoh knew about—as long as he carried them himself, it was fine.

And in the latter half of his life, mired in darkness, the only obsession left was his illegitimate son, Seto...

With the defeat in the duel, the power given to him by Zorc had dissipated completely. Akhenaden's physical body began to disintegrate, his body dissipated, and his soul was pulled away as if by an invisible gravitational force.

Before disappearing, Akhenaden seemed to use his last strength, saying in a voice that was almost imperceptible: "Proud... of you..."

After speaking, his figure completely disappeared, turning into ashes.

Kaiba watched the old man dissipate, and a fleeting strangeness flashed across his face, which had always been calm.

It was in this brief moment that his figure seemed to overlap with a phantom—the young priest wearing luxurious ancient Egyptian attire and holding the Millennium Rod.

Kaiba said faintly: "Farewell, Father."

But only after these words were spoken did the phantom disappear, leaving no trace.

Kaiba strode out, stepping over the dissipated residue, never looking back.

But of course, by the time Kaiba arrived at Dartz's temple, the great battle had already come to an end.

Yugi also briefly explained what happened here, and mentioned that the five Millennium Items had been scattered to various parts of the multiverse, perhaps involving some conspiracy of Zorc.

But Kaiba had already lost interest when Yugi started talking about the "Millennium Items".

"Boring, another one of these supernatural things."

Kaiba turned and walked out of the temple.

"Since Xin Xin Duoma is finished and Dartz has been brought to justice, I have no reason to continue playing with you guys. I have many things to do."

Before reaching the front of the temple, he paused briefly and glanced sideways at Yugi.

"Yugi, you've probably seen it too, right? The new realm of dueling?"

Dark Yugi admitted: "Yes, new summoning methods beyond Tribute and Fusion; the world of dueling still has a new future."

"Sure enough, you know it too," Kaiba chuckled. "Next time we meet, you'll probably have reached a new realm and become even stronger. But no matter what, I will definitely walk ahead of you, Yugi. We'll settle it then."

Dark Yugi nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Kaiba didn't look back after speaking and left the temple.

Kaiba had never been very concerned about the supernatural main plot on Dark Yugi's side. Previously, he was entangled with Xin Xin Duoma partly because of his conflict with Amelda, one of the Xin Xin Duoma swordsmen, and partly because Xin Xin Duoma had attacked his company.

Now that Dartz was dead, reclaiming the Kaiba Corporation was a matter of course.

Kaiba had never liked cooperating with Yugi; the alliance against Dartz in the anime was just a coincidence of camps and interests. At this time, Kaiba naturally had no reason to continue getting involved with Yugi.

After the battle, Dark Yugi and Yugi switched personalities as usual, returning to the state dominated by the daily Yugi.

Yugi said to Fujiki You Xuan: "Fujiki You Xuan, you should continue to travel through the multiverse afterward, right?"

"Probably," Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Then, please take us with you," Yugi said earnestly. "The other me must retrieve the Millennium Items no matter what. Even if we have to go to the end of the world, we must go."

Dark Yugi was moved as usual: "AIBO..."

"Okay," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Since Zorc's clone is no longer here, I probably have no reason to stay in this dimension. But before leaving, I have to pick someone up; I have a companion who came here with me."

Yugi said: "Fujiki You Xuan's companion?"

He instinctively felt that it must be an incredible duelist from another dimension, and he felt curious.

"Yeah, I've already contacted him; he's been quite busy lately," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "While we were busy here, he seems to have found the headquarters established by the 'Academy' in the base dimension."

While Fujiki You Xuan was following Dark Yugi and the others to clear the Xin Xin Duoma dungeon and fight Zorc's clone boss, Yusei Fudo hadn't been idle either, continuously pushing the Academy's side quests.

Starting from the Duelist Town, Yusei's movements quickly attracted the attention of the Academy branch here. Soon, more duel warriors came from the Academy to take extermination measures against Yusei.

Of course, unsurprisingly, they were wiped out by Yusei.

Following the clues, Yusei left the Duelist Town and chased all the way to the stronghold established by the Academy in the base dimension.

When Fujiki You Xuan sent him a message to ask, Yusei was preparing to kill his way into the enemy headquarters single-handedly. Fujiki You Xuan came to ask, and Yusei sent a coordinate, saying to meet there.

"The Academy?" Yugi also had a very bad impression of these people. "The enemies who tried to snatch our Millennium Puzzle before."

Dark Yugi said: "Let's go see it together."

One was curiosity about what kind of person Fujiki You Xuan's companion was, and the other was to see if the other party needed any help this time.

Thus, Fujiki You Xuan unlocked a new companion, Yugi Muto joined the team, and they started a happy group journey together. ===== CHAPTER 1366 =====
