Chapter 573

"King of Games"

Amon's expression turned cold in an instant.

It was said that Duel Academy was the forbidden land of the King; he had previously thought there might be exaggeration, but now it seems it really wasn't an overstatement.

He had only just arrived on the island—and he wasn't a stowaway; he had come to this island completely as a legitimate exchange student.

Yet even so, he had only just approached the area of the abandoned dormitory and was actually caught red-handed immediately.

However, Fujiki You Xuan's appearance also proved that the rumors were true.

Amon pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice: "So, it's really true, isn't it?"

"Hmm?" Fujiki You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Regarding the rumors of the King of Games' power," Amon said. "This abandoned dormitory connects to a world possessing terrifying dark power.

The King obtained unparalleled power from that world, and the center of this island, this abandoned dormitory, is the center of that power."

Fujiki You Xuan: "?"

This time, it was Fujiki You Xuan who was a bit stunned.

Is that what they say about me outside?

What is all this?

It is true that there are secrets of his in this dormitory, but in reality, it is just that Teacher Da Desi's alchemy laboratory from back then is hidden underneath. Inside are the results Teacher Da Desi accumulated over many years, as well as secrets containing some alchemy forbidden arts, dark power, and card-making research.

Of course, it has now been voluntarily gifted to the student Fujiki You Xuan by Teacher Da Desi.

Fujiki You Xuan rubbed his temples: "These days, even rumors are spread so outrageously..."

"Want to deny it?" Amon frowned.

"Haha, I don't mean that either," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "Well, anyway, even if I said something, you might not necessarily believe it, so just believe whatever you think it is."

At this moment, the ghost-state Eye muttered on the side: "Actually, I think this theory is quite convincing.

Not only are you ridiculously strong, but you really do look like an evil god from outside the realm..."

Fujiki You Xuan gave it a glare, and it immediately dared not speak.

"So this is what you came here to investigate, Young Master of the Garlem family," Fujiki You Xuan looked at Amon with interest.

Amon gritted his teeth: "The scene you showed me just now... why do you know these things?"

Fujiki You Xuan, however, extended a finger and shook it.

"No, no, it wasn't me who let you see it, but you who let me see it. What appeared just now was the darkness in your own heart, the scene in your mind that you can't get rid of the most."

"What do you mean?" Amon gritted his teeth even tighter.

The scene in my own mind that I can't get rid of the most?

No, that's impossible.

I had already let go long ago. Sid is the most important brother to me; I have never...

"Is that so?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and raised his Duel Disk.

Amon understood: "Sure enough, we still have to duel, right?"

"Yes," Fujiki You Xuan nodded. "It is said that dueling is the most important way for duelists to connect their hearts. I consider myself to have some research on this; perhaps through a duel, I can help you better face your own true heart."

He paused and smiled mysteriously.

"Or is it that Young Master Garlem is afraid to face these things?"

Am I afraid to face my own true heart?

A cold light flashed across Amon's glasses.

What a joke.

"Fine, it just so happens that I've long wanted to witness the strength of the King of Games."

Amon snorted and also deployed his Duel Disk.

Yes, King, what an admirable, high-and-mighty title.

Deep down, perhaps Amon indeed felt that it was a title that should belong to him.

He had always had absolute confidence in his own strength; in fact, Amon's performance in GX could indeed be called stunning. Defeating Manzaimu, obtaining the legendary forbidden power of the Dark Exodia, defeating Edo Phoenix, and even the only boss in Yugi history who never tasted defeat, Yubel, almost flipped over when facing him...

If one were to rank the strength of all characters in the GX anime, Amon Garlem should also be in the top few. Amon deployed his Duel Disk.

"Duel!" x2

"I'll take the first turn, draw!"

Amon took the first move.

But he didn't rush to make a move immediately; instead, he cautiously observed Fujiki You Xuan first.

The legendary King of Games... but one couldn't see a shred of the King's dominance. One couldn't feel any threatening aura from this person; his appearance looked a bit lazy, revealing a sense of carelessness.

Is this guy really the King? Or is he hiding something?

Although Amon considered himself unafraid of any opponent, he still dared not be careless when facing this guy.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Treasure Cloud'," Amon said. "In the turn 'Treasure Cloud' is activated, if two or more monsters with the same name are summoned, I can draw two cards from the deck during the End Phase." (Original effect)

Sure enough, the Amon of the current stage should be using a Cloudian deck.

In the later stages of the anime in the other world, after obtaining the forbidden power, Amon used the Dark Exodia deck. He was also the only character in the anime world besides Atum and Grandpa Yugi who could control the genuine Dark Exodia spirit.

However, after 'Treasure Cloud' was released as a physical card, it became exclusive to Cloudians, and the effect can only be triggered by summoning Cloudians with the same name. There was no field restriction in the anime.

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell 'Summon Cloud'," Amon continued. "This card can Special Summon a monster with 'Cloudian' in its name of Level 4 or lower from my hand."

He revealed the two cards in his hand in one breath.

"I Special Summon these two cards from my hand.

Two 'Cloudian - Sheep Cloud'!"

Two small white clouds appeared on the field, revealing anthropomorphic eyes that squinted into two slits.

【Cloudian - Sheep Cloud, DEF 0】 x2

This 'Summon Cloud' physical card is also different. The physical card can only be activated if there are no monsters on your own field, and you can Special Summon at most once per turn. But the physical card can not only be summoned from the hand, but also from the Graveyard. However, if summoned from the Graveyard, this Spell must be destroyed after use.

There is no restriction in the anime; as long as you have Cloudians in your hand that meet the conditions, as many as you want can jump out in one turn.

"Then I set one card."

Amon said.

"During the End Phase of the turn, the effect of 'Treasure Cloud' activates," Amon said. "Because I summoned cards with the same name this turn, I draw two cards from the deck!"

Amon drew two cards.

"Turn end!"

Fujiki You Xuan: "My turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan drew a card and smiled lightly after looking at his starting hand.

Then he said as if talking to himself.

"Since you want to take the stage so much, I'll give you a chance today; don't let me down..."

Saying this, he raised his eyes and said.

"If the opponent has more Spell/Trap cards on their field than I do, this card can be Special Summoned directly from the hand.

Special Summon 'Psychic Electronic Giant!'"

【Psychic Electronic Giant, ATK 2200】

"Then I offer Psychic Electronic Giant as an Offering for a Tribute Summon—"

Fujiki You Xuan raised the monster card in his hand.

"The King of Psychics, the nemesis of Traps—

—Jinzo, summon!"
