Chapter 506: Jonouchi Invited

Supreme King.

Hearing this name again, Judai was silent for a while, as if thinking.

But soon he looked up and laughed heartily.

"It's fine now."

"But you said that he is now in your body, and you are one body and one heart," Fujiki You Xuan leaned back, sank into the sofa, and picked up the teacup Alice had just handed him.

"So we have to consider the possibility of him losing control, right?" Fujiki You Xuan paused and added, "Or, maybe even if it can be stable in normal times, there is still a risk of losing control under specific circumstances, right?"

"You mean, if one day all my friends suddenly turn against me, or worse, someone might die because of me?"

Judai had a serious face.

Fujiki You Xuan didn't speak, and looked at him seriously.

This weird staring lasted for a few seconds, and then Judai burst out laughing.

"That's too ridiculous, right?"

But Fujiki You Xuan didn't laugh.

"Wait, are you serious?" Judai raised his eyebrows.

"Just have to consider this possibility," Fujiki You Xuan said. "We are facing a Supreme King who once ruled twelve dimensions. You faced him yourself, and you should know how dangerous he is."

"I know, but... how should I put it?"

Judai scratched his head and thought about it. But he showed his iconic smile again, and then gave Fujiki You Xuan a thumbs up.

"In short, it's fine. I promise, he won't be a problem again."

Fujiki You Xuan stared at him for a while, and Judai kept this posture.

Until Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

"Okay, if you insist on saying so."

This was originally his plan.

Dartz said back then that the darkness in the human heart cannot be eliminated. At that time, Rafael of the Doma Three Musketeers thought he had eliminated the darkness in his heart, and even the activated Orichalcos barrier disappeared without drawing souls.

As a result, when facing Dartz again, Dartz provoked Rafael's anger in a few words, and the barrier that should have disappeared returned with the inner darkness that Rafael should have eliminated.

The Supreme King is the darkness in Judai's heart, and similarly, it is impossible to be truly eliminated—unless Judai is finished off together.

So the optimal solution for Judai, and a lesson that many powerful duelists have to learn, is to learn to look directly at the darkest part of themselves and coexist with it.

In fact, Fujiki You Xuan thinks that although Judai could mobilize the Supreme King's power when he became serious in the late anime, he is more inclined to believe that the Judai of the 20th generation only absorbed part of the Supreme King, or at least could not fully mobilize that power.

But Judai now has this opportunity.

"Speaking of which, Jonouchi-san left the island today," Judai said.

He and Jonouchi have similar temperaments, and they have been getting along quite well recently.

"He left?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

But Jonouchi stayed just to open up the other-dimensional wasteland with them. Now that things are done, it doesn't seem strange that he left.

"Yeah... but he told me that he just had something to go out and handle, and he had to come back to hold a celebration party... said to celebrate that we have cleared all the twelve-dimensional dungeons."

Judai tilted his head and thought about it. "He seemed to say that Pegasus-shacho has something to find him."

"Pegasus, looking for Jonouchi-san?" Fujiki You Xuan felt strange in his heart.

Are these two still in contact after Duelist Kingdom?

In fact, it's not just Fujiki You Xuan who feels this way. At this moment, the person involved is also thinking the same thing.

Taking the private plane of Industrial Illusions and flying directly to the island where Duelist Kingdom was held that year, Jonouchi Katsuya got off the plane, looked at the familiar yet strange island, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

This is his starting point as a duelist, a place with special significance for him.

When he landed on this island back then, he was still an unknown duelist. At that time, he didn't even fully understand the card rules, and his best result before was the top eight in a small town duel. He would make mistakes on the card field from time to time.

It was on this island that he truly transformed into a duelist and felt for the first time that he was following the back of his best friend Yugi Mutou.

Now things have changed. Yugi has long gone abroad to break through, and this island is no longer the Duelist Kingdom of the past. All the competitive facilities have been dismantled, and this place is basically the nursing home of Pegasus-shacho in semi-retirement.

However, he also felt strange in his heart. If it is said that Yugi, who became the largest shareholder of Industrial Illusions in name after winning the championship in Duelist Kingdom, and Kaiba, as the main partner of Illusions, have been in contact with Pegasus over the years, then he really hasn't had much contact with Pegasus since he left Duelist Kingdom.

So it is really strange that Pegasus would call someone like him to his nursing island for a face-to-face meeting.

"Jonouchi-boy, welcome."

Coming to the castle, Pegasus-shacho came out to greet him in person, waving his hand to signal his subordinates to give them some private space.

"Pegasus, long time no see."

Jonouchi walked up carelessly and waved to say hello.

"Long time no see, your accent is still so interesting, ahahaha..."

Pegasus smiled elegantly, not angry: "Long time no see, Jonouchi-boy hasn't changed at all."

Since he accepted the invitation, Jonouchi was not polite, sat down at the table directly, and picked up the desserts and tea on the table to eat.

While eating, he commented.

"Um, this taste is quite good."

"Oh, this coffee is also great. Your retirement life is quite nourishing, Pegasus, it's enviable..."

Pegasus just watched him eat and drink, just crossed his legs and watched without joining, and said with a smile: "Retirement life? If I could really retire so leisurely, that would be really good."

"Hmm?"

Jonouchi looked up in confusion.

"Why, is there anything that is not going well?"

"This is the reason why I invited you, Jonouchi-boy," Pegasus straightened up and said seriously. "Have you heard of it?

The frontier astronomical unit cooperating with our Industrial Illusions observed the light wave from the white hole in the universe that has the potential to destroy the world. We and Kaiba Corporation have been continuously paying attention to the impact that evil wave may have on the earth."

Jonouchi nodded: "Not very clear, but I've heard of it. What's wrong?"

"Recently, the frontier astronomical unit has had new discoveries," Pegasus said seriously. "What may pose a threat to our world is not just that light wave.

The dark power that is opposite to that power, which we temporarily call 'Cosmic Darkness', also has the possibility of letting our world be swallowed by darkness.

And Jonouchi-boy, according to our observations, you..."

Pegasus paused and narrowed his eyes at him.

"... very likely had close contact with an important source of that 'Cosmic Darkness'."
