Chapter 533: Second Chance

"Roar ah ah ah ah!"

Melo roared unwillingly, sounding almost like a non-human roar. The cannon fire of the Blaze Accelerator bombarded his entire field, a series of sky-high explosions, almost as if his soul had been blasted out of his shell.

This is not an exaggerated description, but the literal picture. The continuous cannon fire blasted a white shadow out of Melo's body, truly as if his soul had left his body.

After that white thing was blasted out of the body, it let out an even more manic roar, and its size actually expanded to several times its original size. At first, it only looked like half the size of Melo, but within just a few seconds of that manic roar, it had expanded to the height of two people.

Abstract facial features appeared on the face that was originally like a blank sheet of paper, as if eyes full of violent anger, and the roaring mouth seemed to be spitting out a hurricane.

Light of Ruin.

Fujiki You Xuan knew that the guy who had been confronting him from the beginning was essentially this thing. It attached itself to the human body, like a parasite, using the host as a medium to exert its power.

Judging from the performance in the anime, the Light of Ruin might be a symbiotic existence. The Light of Ruin in the anime had successively possessed D. D., the murderer who stole Destiny HERO - Plasma, possessed the card of Destiny HERO - Plasma, possessed Saiou, and also attached to Yubel, even making Yubel evolve two new forms she didn't originally have.

The Light of Ruin can possess both spirits and humans, can manipulate the host and greatly strengthen it on the original basis, and even develop new abilities. But it is likely unable to act alone, and will lose most of its combat power when it loses its host.

Just like now.

That light was roaring, growling, and showing a ferocious appearance with claws and teeth. But Fujiki You Xuan could tell that under this fierce appearance of bluffing, it was already at the end of its rope.

Just as the light tried to pounce forward, an iron cage fell from the sky with a clang.

The Light of Ruin was stunned for a moment.

Its pouncing action was sluggish for two seconds, then it slowly raised its head.

I saw that the iron cage, which looked like it had been burned red and was steaming with heat, suddenly covered it, and above its head was Fujiki You Xuan's Tamashii, Lava Golem. At this time, the burning giant was also lowering its head outside the cage, tilting its head, and looking at it.

The two sides confronted each other awkwardly for a few seconds.

Then the silly big guy slowly reached out and pressed its five fingers on the top of the cage.

Endless magma hissed and rolled down with white smoke, as if it were pouring directly onto the Light of Ruin trapped in the cage.

The Light of Ruin let out a shrill howl, struggling hard in the cage. It tried to get out, but the moment it touched the iron cage, the cage burned red as if it were burning. It screamed even more shrilly, hurriedly shrank back, and its huge size shrank rapidly under the pouring magma, looking like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any time.

"No!"

Melo, who had already withered on the ground, suddenly jumped up, ignoring the heat on his face and rushing towards the cage.

But as soon as his hands touched the iron cage, he let out the same shrill scream, rolling on the ground in pain. With just a moment of contact, his hands had been scalded into bloody flesh by the iron cage.

The Light of Ruin screamed in the cage, struggling to extend towards the outside of the cage, as if calling Melo.

Melo lay on the ground, also painfully extending his bloody palms, reaching out hard towards the Light of Ruin in the cage.

The two sides, one in the cage and one outside the cage, were clearly only an arm's length apart, but they were separated by this magma iron cage, which was like a chasm.

Fujiki You Xuan: "."

Do you have to be as tragic as a pair of bitter lovers, why does it seem like I am the villain who separates you...

Well, it was hard to blast the Light of Ruin out of the host's body, and Fujiki You Xuan certainly couldn't let them have the possibility of reuniting.

So Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward and stepped on Melo's hand, which was trying hard to reach for the cage, as if nothing had happened.

Melo let out a howl a hundred times worse than before, trying desperately to pull back his arm but couldn't, and could only twitch helplessly.

"You weren't controlled by the Light of Ruin, were you?"

Fujiki You Xuan looked down at him and asked calmly. "Or at least not entirely."

This is not the first time Fujiki You Xuan has dealt with such forces from the universe. Many people infected by evil light have regained their freedom and sanity under his righteous influence. Those people will wake up significantly and quickly after getting rid of the control of the Light of Ruin, restore their original personality, and have significant changes from before.

But Melo didn't.

Fujiki You Xuan was sure that he should have gotten rid of the control, and the Light of Ruin had indeed been blasted out of his body. But he was still so obsessed with this evil parasite from the universe, and after finally regaining his freedom, he desperately wanted to recombine.

Melo raised his head angrily and glared at Fujiki You Xuan.

"What do you know!?"

He roared.

"So what if I was controlled?"

"I know, it brainwashed me, used me, but so what? Before I met it, I was just a loser, I was nothing!"

"Is that so?"

Fujiki You Xuan looked down at him and said.

!. Read

"Even if its purpose is to destroy this world?"

"Such a world has never cared about me, so let it be destroyed," Melo said coldly. "At least before that, I won't be meaningless anymore."

He gritted his teeth and looked at Fujiki You Xuan.

"How would a guy like you understand?"

"A guy like you who has extraordinary talent and is naturally destined to be a king, destined to have a life looked up to by all living beings. How would a guy like you understand the pain of a loser?"

Fujiki You Xuan looked at him, still expressionless.

"Believe it or not, I understand," Fujiki You Xuan said lightly. "I have never felt that I am a very special person."

This is his true thought.

In his previous life, he was always so plain, a life without any waves, without any highlights. He was like the most nameless NPC around everyone in life, without any specialties.

Even the only Yu-Gi-Oh! he was better at could only be said to be a plain entertainment enthusiast. He liked to study the environment history of Yu-Gi-Oh!, liked to study old decks, off-beat acrobatics, and sometimes made videos and put them on the Internet to earn a few clicks that were better than nothing. But he considered his card playing average, at least he had never achieved convincing results in the competition.

But he felt he was very lucky.

Because he got a second chance, in such a world, a place where his strengths could be used.

But he didn't feel he was very special. Because he was just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and borrowing their experience to get all this. He believed that many card players could do better than himself if they came to his position.

Fujiki You Xuan took away Melo's deck, turned and walked towards the door, and made a gesture without looking back.

"Solve it."

Lava Golem received the order, the flames all over its body became more and more prosperous, and a "Jonouchi Fire" was poured directly into the entire iron cage.

"No—"

Melo screamed in despair, but the erupting flames swept out of the cage with the impact. The struggling Light of Ruin finally annihilated in the flames and vanished.
