Chapter 651

A few months ago, Egypt.

Under the wilderness that seemed to have been forgotten by time, there was a history that seemed to have been sealed for a thousand years.

Then in that eternal darkness, there was suddenly a crack.

"Wait, I seem to have found something..."

There was a voice outside the crack.

"Here! Over here! Right under this!"

The sound of tools digging, the crack was quickly expanded. A beam of modern technology pierced the silence of a thousand years, unveiling the veil of darkness. In the depths where the sun could not reach, the air was filled with damp and ancient breath.

A team of archaeological excavators poked their heads in, the searchlight beam on their heads like a golden sword in the darkness.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement as if they were creating history.

"The legend of the local village is true, there really is something here..."

"Be careful, we heard that the things inside are a bit dangerous."

"Don't be nervous, no matter how dangerous it is, thousands of years have passed, maybe even ten thousand years," someone joked. "Time will help us handle everything."

The team members carefully passed through the intricate tunnels and stone chambers, feeling that everyone's breathing and heartbeat seemed to echo in this claustrophobic space, appearing exceptionally clear.

And when they came to the deepest part of this underground, what was waiting for them... was a stone slab.

The stone slab covered with traces of time, mottled moss and mud intertwined, ancient and terrifying. What was carved on it seemed to be the image of some kind of demon, clearly in a minimalist style, like a simple sketch, but for some reason, the simple strokes could make people feel creepy so vividly.

All the team members only took one look at the things on the stone slab, and then tacitly turned around, not daring to look again.

"Hey, look over here."

Someone pointed to the stone wall next to it, and everyone gathered around. Only then did they see ancient characters carved on the stone wall on that side.

"Eddie, you're the expert," someone looked at the accompanying teammate. "Can you interpret what this means?"

"I'm not sure, but I can try."

The man named Eddie stepped forward, shone the light on the characters on the wall, and narrowed his eyes to observe carefully.

"I think what's written here should be the name of the stone slab? It seems to be called..."

Eddie pushed his glasses.

"... Zorc."

The moment this sound fell, all the lights in the darkness went out in unison.

It was as if this name had violated a taboo, awakening an existence that had slept for thousands of years.

And at the moment before the last light went out, the demon with a simple painting style on the stone slab actually... seemed to open its eyes.

A few months later, now.

Fujiki You Xuan had to admit that he still had omissions.

Duel Academy was like his own backyard, and most of the time he knew everything that happened in every corner of this island. But Yubel helped him realize that his control still had blind spots.

Right on this academy island, in his backyard, a temporary stronghold was hidden at the foot of a volcano, just like an observation post for a hunter.

Boom!

Silence directly blasted the gate with a magic explosion. Fujiki You Xuan walked through the flying dust and smoke, and looked around.

An evil stronghold.

This was his first impression.

The four walls of the room were covered with meaningless characters, like some ancient civilization's hieroglyphs. Interspersed with some simple murals, drawn very abstractly. But it looked like someone was offering sacrifices, then the sky was covered with dark clouds above the altar, and a giant demon that covered the sky and the sun appeared.

"I know that name."

Eye suddenly stared straight at the hieroglyphs carved on the wall.

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at him: "I can't tell you're quite cultured. What's written here?" "The ruler of darkness, the end of all things," Eye said. "Zorc."

Fujiki You Xuan couldn't help but frown.

Zorc, that great evil god? The one who loved and killed each other with Atem for three thousand years?

If it was this guy, then it should indeed be a top-level opponent. But as far as he knew, Zorc was personally destroyed by the Creator God of Light and should have been wiped out.

Can he still be revived after being blasted into slag?

So the so-called evil god of the Advent Sect, could it be Zorc?

Then a voice sounded in the shadows of this room.

"Just an empty shell."

Fujiki You Xuan turned around and saw a man standing at the door at some point, his expression gloomy.

He walked into the room as if no one else was there, came to Fujiki You Xuan's side, and also looked up at the murals on the wall.

"The ultimate demon, even gods have stepped on their feet, possessing the peerless power to drag the entire world into eternal darkness... but so what?

It failed, completely non-existent. What's left is just a sorrowful empty shell, a great shell that once hosted the great evil god, but now it's just an empty shell."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at him for a moment. This looked like just an ordinary man, wearing casual clothes with no features, wearing sunglasses, and a head of unkempt blonde hair. He looked up at those characters and murals, seeming a bit distracted.

Don't miss a single word of the content!

"Then, who are you?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

"Me? You can call me Eddie."

Eddie didn't even turn his head to look at him, just walked past him. He picked up the duel disk on the table and put it on his hand.

"But who I am is not important, what's important is that I need the spirit in your hand."

Fujiki You Xuan: "So, are you from the Advent Sect?"

"You could say that," Eddie said.

Eye: "Be careful, I think this guy is strange."

"I know."

However, since the other party initiated a duel, there was nothing to do but fight first.

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Eddie, LP 4000】

"I'll go first, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan got the first move randomly this time, and he didn't be polite and took the first move directly.

"Activate the Spell card 'Graceful Charity'," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

Fujiki You Xuan drew the cards, then discarded the cards from his hand.

"Set one monster in face-down Defense Position on the front field," Fujiki You Xuan said. "After that, Set one card in the back row, turn end."

"My turn, draw."

Eddie was expressionless, and after seeing the monster he drew, he played it directly.

"Normal summon 'Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands'."

Although the race is Fairy, Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands' appearance is not that angelic. He has a terrifying face, a pair of angry eyes, and his whole body is covered with arms even if it's not ten thousand, and the three-dimensional projected image also belongs to the type that can make children unable to sleep at night.

【Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, ATK 1400】

"The effect of Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands," Eddie said. "When this card is successfully summoned, add one Ritual monster or Ritual Spell card from the deck to my hand.

I take this Ritual Spell from the deck..."

He searched a Spell from the deck, revealed it, and added it to his hand.

"Add the Ritual Spell 'Advanced Ritual Art' to my hand."
