Chapter 1474

Like the previous clones, after being killed in one hit by Utopia's sword, Zarc's third clone, Yuto, also disappeared.

Also like before, Yuma's side exploded with equipment after finishing the fight.

"What is this?"

Yuma stepped forward and leaned down, carefully examining the thing that fell to the ground.

It was also made of gold, and it was flawless gold without even a hint of impurity. It had symmetrical trays on the left and right, looking just like a scale.

"I'm afraid it's also one of the Millennium Items." Astral said, "It should also be something belonging to that Pharaoh."

"Oh... that's true, let's take it with us first."

Yuma said, and separated from Astral, dismantling from the ZEXAL Saint state back into two individuals. Astral floated by like a ghost, while Yuma picked up the scale.

"By the way, ask Mr. Yugi... is Mr. Yugi okay?" He asked through the Duel Disk's communication system, "We're done here, Zarc's Xyz clone has been resolved, and we've also obtained a Millennium Item. Is it going smoothly on your side?"

A response only came after a moment.

"Thanks Yuma, a bit busy."

A very short answer.

And Astral keenly noticed that the voice answering was the one that was always confident, with a sharp edge in its tone, as if the words themselves were sharp blades.

"They switched personalities, this is the Pharaoh's personality." Astral said, "I'm afraid they are already in battle too."

"This... is that so!" Yuma said, "Then alright, we have to catch up quickly too."

Astral's guess was correct. Just like all the skirmishes until just now. Just a few minutes ago, the last and also the first Duel King among the group, Yugi Wu Teng—or rather, Atem—had already faced the last Zarc clone.

And this last clone was probably the most special one for Zarc.

Yuya Sakaki.

The protagonist of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V", the first user of Pendulum Summoning in the four dimensions of the anime. And if one had to choose a main personality from the four personalities Zarc split into, then Yuya was undoubtedly the closest one.

Even when the four personalities merged into one in the finale and Zarc descended again, his image and appearance, and even that tomato-like hairstyle, were mostly based on Yuya.

If one derives further, one might even guess that Zarc in the original dimension might have originally been a duelist like Yuya.

It was just that ever since the birth of the Solid Vision system, the desire for victory, the audience's demand for brutal duels,

and the world's desire to use duels for harm—all this darkness gradually tarnished the duelist's original heart, and finally led Zarc to completely discard the kindness in his heart and become a dueling tyrant who existed only for harm and victory.

"Truly beyond my expectations."

At this moment, Zarc, using Yuya's image, said coldly.

"You Duel Kings from other worlds are indeed a bit special. It seems you all possess unique skills and have your own special points. I didn't expect my clones would actually be defeated..."

By the time he said this, Judai and Yusei had already finished their battles one after another, and only Yuma and Yuto hadn't decided the winner yet at this moment. But this was enough to surprise Zarc.

He looked at the golden inverted triangle hanging on Yugi's chest.

"This is also a 'Millennium Item'... no, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary Millennium Item." He narrowed his eyes, "The fluctuation of this power, although the sharpness is hidden within, I can still feel it. I'm afraid this is the strongest item? Or perhaps, it is the head of the seven items?"

Dark Yugi touched the Millennium Puzzle on his chest.

"In this tone, it seems you already know quite a bit about the Millennium Items." Dark Yugi said, "Zorc told you?"

"Haha, just mutual benefit. Through these items, he absorbed massive amounts of energy from my dimension, but of course, in exchange, he left these toys to me, and I am indeed very interested in these toys..."

He said, revealing a dangerous smile.

"And it seems the one in your hand is more interesting than any I've obtained before."

"Is that so? Then I'm sorry, you're probably going to be disappointed." Dark Yugi said indifferently, "I won't hand this over to you. And I will also recover all the other Millennium Items. Whether it's you or Zorc, I won't allow you to continue to do whatever you want with the Millennium Items or the power of dueling."

"Ha, arrogant." Yuya looked up and laughed, "Let me say this first, although it's also a clone, this body of mine is different from the previous ones. This is the clone closest to my main body, and also the strongest one. Although it's amazing that you could force me to use this body, it's about time for you to stop here."

"Interesting."

Hearing this, Dark Yugi also revealed a villain-like cold smile.

"Then I hope you won't make me too bored in a moment."

"Duel!" 2

【Dark Yugi, LP 4000】

【Yuya, LP 4000】

"I'll start with the first move!"

Dark Yugi scanned his hand and quickly selected three cards from it.

"First, set one monster on the field in face-down Defense Position." Dark Yugi said, "Then set two cards in the back row, turn end."

"Face-down set and set cards... Heh, I suddenly seem to remember, that guy seems to have mentioned it." A mocking smile appeared on Yuya's face, "Yugi Wu Teng, the legendary strongest Duel King. But the era you come from... seems to be a primitive era, right?"

From the perspective of the dimension Zarc is in, the DM era in which Yugi was active was basically a primitive society. Zarc's dimension is a world that has simultaneously developed Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and even Pendulum, and Zarc is the master of all these summoning methods.

He had no reason to lose to a primitive man from a primitive society.

"It's enough to deal with you." Dark Yugi said calmly.

"Hahaha, good, is this the arrogance of a King? I like it." Yuya said, "Then my turn, draw!"

After drawing a card, he scanned the two cards in his hand, then revealed an even more ferocious smile.

"Very good. Then let me show you now, the summoning method that has surpassed your countless generations and represents the most advanced field of dueling!"

He drew two cards from his hand at the same time, and with two "slap" sounds, he slapped them onto the far left and right sides of the Duel Disk.

"I use 'Stargazer Magician' and 'Timegazer Magician' in my hand to set the Pendulum Scale!"

Sacred pillars of light descended on the left and right sides of the sky, as if the two great magicians in charge of the starry sky and time descended in the pillars of light, and the transparent pendulum swayed in the void.

An invisible power was released, as if covering the entire field.

Dark Yugi's expression was solemn: "Is it finally coming, the power of Pendulum Summoning?"
