Chapter 445

Won... won.

Fujiki You Xuan won.

The outcome of the duel seemed clear. The vortex of green light began to shrink, and the triple barrier seemed to collapse one after another. The light converged toward where the Adjudicator stood, seemingly announcing the end of the match.

But until this moment, everyone was still stunned, their expressions somewhat dazed, unable to grasp exactly what had happened.

Did Fujiki You Xuan just use his 'Tamashii' to eat the invincible Serpent God Yi?

From a traditional perspective, it was incredibly absurd, yet it was an ending that perfectly fit Fujiki You Xuan's persona. Especially after the battle with Kaiba in the semifinals, this scene had a sense of déjà vu.

"Brother, brother, did Fujiki You Xuan win?"

Mokuba looked up at Kaiba in a daze, only to find that although his brother was still standing there with his arms crossed in his usual calm manner, the corners of his mouth were already uncontrollably curling upward.

Seto Kaiba was a person who wouldn't easily let others see his thoughts. Although he was arrogant and chuunibyou, and always liked to say lines with unclear meanings and perform three-stage laughs, he never let people see through him when it mattered.

But as the person closest to him, Mokuba could read from his brother's face right now that he was very happy.

Mokuba hadn't seen his brother this genuinely happy in many years. It seemed as if even the frustration of his semifinal loss had been swept away.

Even watching that goofy lava monster eat the serpent god in one bite, he might even be thinking in his heart—

—That's the feeling!

Suddenly, his heart felt balanced.

The President was satisfied, but the Serpent's mentality had collapsed.

His Serpent God Yi, the 12-star Wicked God with infinite attack power and a full set of resistance auras!

Damn it, it got eaten, can you believe it?

Moreover, his victory condition was tied to Serpent God Yi by the special effect of the rule victory, so the act of Lava Golem eating Serpent God Yi directly led to his defeat.

Eating the opponent to death directly—such a thing was probably a first in history even for Lava Golem. And having eaten such high-quality food in the final battle that determined the fate of the world, the goofy guy had once again taken the match MVP without any suspense.

And this was even with the participation of a heavyweight player like the supreme Egyptian God, The Winged Dragon of Ra. The Winged Dragon of Ra had been in seclusion for many years and had just returned to the world; it must never have expected that its grand comeback debut would fail to take the center stage.

The gold content of the goofy guy's MVP was still rising.

And at this moment, the duel had ended, but the projection on the field didn't disappear immediately. Lava Golem, which had gorgeously completed the final blow, was now standing on the opponent's field, rubbing its belly, and a hint of satisfaction could even be read on that abstract face.

As if to say, a Wicked God is a Wicked God; the nutrition is truly sufficient, and it's the first time eating such high-grade food, the taste is not bad...

"That's awesome!"

Judai flew onto the stage to greet Fujiki You Xuan.

"Fujiki You Xuan, you're simply god-like! Does a guy like you have no limits? You're ridiculously strong..."

Kaiba didn't speak, but couldn't help but chuckle, as if to say this was more like it, having a bit of the kingly aura a man who defeated him should have.

"In that case, this Wicked God should be finished, right?" Mokuba looked at the opposite side.

Fujiki You Xuan never put down his Duel Disk, his eyes fixed vigilantly on the Adjudicator from beginning to end.

In the Orichalcos barrier, the loser would have their soul sucked away; this was the basic rule of a duel that activated the barrier... generally speaking, that should be the case.

But the situation with this opponent was special.

The Adjudicator was the incarnation of the Serpent God himself. Logically, the souls defeated in those barriers in the past all ended up being absorbed by the Serpent God as food; even Dartz, who acted as the Serpent God's spokesperson back then, was no exception.

It was just that the one dueling on the field now was the Serpent God himself; if the barrier were to suck away his soul, wouldn't it become "I eat myself"?

Seeing the barrier shrink and gather at the Adjudicator's feet, the latter suddenly raised his head and let out a sharp, strange low roar. An invisible air wave exploded from his body, actually breaking through the shrinking Orichalcos barrier.

The indestructible green barrier shattered into countless fragments in an instant, and majestic darkness erupted from that human-shaped shell. Soon, the human form seemed to blur, and the darkness, like piercing the firmament, gradually manifested the silhouette of a giant beast in the air.

Breaking free from the shackles of a mortal body, the pitch-black crack in mid-air was like a shocking scar. The darkness tore space apart, and what poured out from it was no longer ordinary light and shadow, but the chaos that swallowed the world.

The giant serpent god, as if entwined with lightning and netherfire, its scales shimmering with ominous light. Those eyes were like two huge black holes, full of anger and hatred, surveying this world that was about to become its hunting ground.

The God of Orichalcos, descends!

The truth is out; it seems that after failing to win at cards, he finally decided to fight directly.

But even if the barrier's soul-absorbing effect was ineffective against the Serpent God himself, the real damage caused during the duel could not be avoided.

And Fujiki You Xuan had long anticipated the possibility that the Orichalcos barrier might not be effective, so in this duel, his side had also unleashed full dark duel energy.

Although the Serpent, as the Serpent God, was not directly defeated by the duel like an ordinary duelist, it was itself in a semi-crippled state that had not fully revived, and it had suffered heavy damage throughout this card game.

At this moment, forcing its true form to appear was already a last resort; at the end of its rope, it had no choice but to fight with all its might.

But even the Serpent God, appearing in a low-health state, still carried a terrifying aura; when it descended, it was like a messenger of the apocalypse, and the giant serpent's body winding and churning made people feel terrified.

Kaiba reacted the fastest and immediately unfolded his Duel Disk.

"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!!!"

The President didn't waste words and directly revealed his strongest trump card. The strongest dragon of light, which held the title of god in ancient Egypt, rose like a blue sun, its metal-cast body unfolding, seemingly trying its best to contend with the darkness of the serpent god with that sacred blue radiance.

The God of Orichalcos roared sharply.

"A mere white dragon, also delusional about blocking the darkness of this age?"

As Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon rose into the air, it fired a light bomb from its mouth. The serpent god didn't dodge at all, but its eyes turned red, and the light bomb from the Blue-Eyes immediately hit an invisible barrier more than ten meters in front of it, exploding into a ripple.

The serpent god roared and rushed over, baring its sharp fangs, stabbing straight at the neck of the Shining Dragon like a sharp blade.

It was extremely fast. But just as it rushed halfway, it suddenly felt a violent wind from the side. Glancing sideways, it immediately saw Black Luster Soldier had already drawn his sword, and the sword energy that split dimensions was slashing toward its serpent body.

"Little swordsman!"

The God of Orichalcos shouted, its long body suddenly churning. A burst of black energy erupted from the serpent's tail, colliding with the surging Chaos sword energy in the air. The sword energy was instantly shredded, and the dark aftershocks continued unabated, directly backlashing toward Black Luster Soldier.

Black Luster Soldier hurriedly raised his shield to block. The domineering aura slammed into his shield, shaking him so much that he retreated with a muffled groan, unable to hold his shield steady, nearly dropping it, and he felt a sense of horror in his heart.

This serpent god was in a semi-revived state and had low health, yet its casual counter-shock had such terrifying power. If it were at full strength, what would happen?

And at this moment, a beam of golden light shot into the sky. Fujiki You Xuan had already removed the Egyptian God card he had just printed during the duel from the Graveyard and slammed it onto the Duel Disk.

Almost the moment that card landed on the Duel Disk, endless visible electric currents surged out from the Duel Disk.

Within the black clouds, ten thousand rays of golden light burst forth!
