Chapter 678: You Xuan Feels He Is Very Normal

~7 min read 1,394 words

This might be the peak of Dandylion's life, unprecedented and unrepeatable.

Although it was just a small Dandylion, its ATK was stacked to infinity, and this card game was blessed by a dark duel. If it were an ordinary person facing this blow, I'm afraid even their soul would have been shattered by this dandelion charge.

Of course, Mr. T was not an ordinary person. As a mass-produced lackey of Darkness, Mr. T could almost be said to be immortal. Or it could be said that although this Mr. T was completely eliminated, existences like him were endless, and they all had a system similar to neural sharing.

The consciousness of all lackeys was synchronized, and memories would also be updated synchronously. They would obtain opponent information from fallen companions, and would become stronger the next time they returned.

Shattered by the dandelion charge, Mr. T's figure immediately disintegrated, turning into a large mass of mist and black cards flying away.

But although the figure dissipated, a voice still echoed from somewhere in the sky.

"Duel King Fujiki You Xuan, you are indeed a troublesome existence. But Darkness has remembered you, I will return."

The voice gradually faded away, and by the time the last sentence was spoken, it seemed to be very far away, almost impossible to hear clearly anymore.

You Xuan watched the black mist drift away, stood still, didn't leave for a while, only frowned and thought about something.

"Seems like another dangerous guy."

The Lady yawned and said lazily.

"Master, you are provoking more and more strange guys."

"Yeah," You Xuan said. "And have you noticed that the opponents we encounter now are getting harder and harder to kill."

"Hmm, is that so?"

The Lady tilted her head.

You Xuan didn't speak. But he did notice. The Wicked Gods he had killed before were consciousness projections, and the main body couldn't be hurt by conventional means, which was nothing to say. After all, he usually ran rampant in the Fairy Realm by relying on projections.

The unknown existence using "Dark Ruler Zorc" also had an unknown whereabouts. Now this Mr. T was another Agent Smith-like existence with a hive mind. If he didn't try to face the main body of Darkness, the number of these lackeys would be endless and couldn't be killed at all.

It seemed that the boss demon kings at a certain level all had their own unique skills and their own ways of saving their lives. Even under the rules of "Duelists die if they bet their lives" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, everyone had their own ways to exploit loopholes, and as long as they didn't easily come out of the mountains, it wouldn't be so easy to flip the car.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

The Lady saw him thinking so intently, curious in her heart, leaned over, stretched out her paper-white little hand, and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Oh, nothing," You Xuan said. "Just thinking, Wicked Gods, dark masters, incarnations of light, these guys all have clones everywhere, and they might even spread across different dimensions.

So I was thinking, is there such a possibility that I can also project more consciousness projections like I do to the Fairy Realm through the link system. Even if I can't beat the opponent, at least I have more opportunities to probe the opponent's depth, right?"

The Lady was stunned for a few seconds after hearing his idea, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

You Xuan said: "Why? Do you think it's too ridiculous?"

"No, no, I don't dare, Master, pfft hahaha..."

The Lady laughed so hard that her umbrella tilted.

"Although this assumption is a bit abstract, and the difficulty is probably not something ordinary people can do, I think if it's Master, maybe one day you can think of a way.

It's just... it's just that you actually compared yourself to Wicked Gods, dark masters, and the like, and suddenly I felt it was a bit funny."

Is it funny?

You Xuan tilted his head and thought about it.

I think it's quite normal. Seeing that others have good things, I also want to get one, isn't this human nature?

Forget it.

Although he experienced this small episode on the way, You Xuan could be considered to have dealt with Mr. T without any danger—well, "danger" probably couldn't be said, so maybe it should be considered without any danger—and then continued to follow the address left by Rishid to find the hotel where Marik and his sister were staying.

Both of the two Tomb Keepers were legendary duelists, the representatives of the underworld in the first Duel City, the sunny boy Marik, and Sister Ishizu, who once left behind what was called the most brutal legend in Yu-Gi-Oh! history.

But it was a pity that he didn't see Mr. Marik on this trip, only Sister Ishizu came downstairs to welcome him when she heard You Xuan had arrived. The two sides shook hands and recognized each other.

Ishizu looked not much different from the animation image in You Xuan's memory back then, only that after these years of precipitation, she looked a bit more mature.

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Ishizu bowed and expressed her apologies.

"I'm really sorry, I've had important matters before and couldn't come to welcome you in person. I had also arranged for someone to go to the airport to meet you, but just now, for some reason, I lost contact..."

You Xuan knew that it was mostly related to Mr. T. Darkness set an ambush outside the airport to arrange for him, so the person originally scheduled to welcome him should have been in bad luck by now.

You Xuan looked around and said: "Is that Mr. Rishid not here?"

"There was a temporary matter in the family, and Rishid accompanied Marik back to handle it last night."

(Note: Read every word!)

Ishizu said.

"I stayed here specially to receive Mr. Duel King."

You Xuan said: "If you have many things and it's inconvenient..."

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ishizu: "It's okay."

She smiled slightly.

"These days, there are always many family affairs, and the Archaeological Bureau also has constant tasks, so it's always difficult to have free time."

Although the mission of their Tomb Keeper family had been completed, the huge family that had been passed down for three thousand years still existed. The patriarch father of Marik and his sister had been killed by Marik's dark personality many years ago, so the two had to shoulder the family's burden at a young age.

Previously, there were family rules passed down for many years, and the Tomb Keepers still took guarding the Pharaoh's secrets and returning the Pharaoh to the Underworld as their own responsibility, at least they still had a common mission. Now that the mission had been completed, the family that had lost its common goal was naturally difficult to stabilize, so the siblings often needed to spend effort to manage it.

Marik had already flown back to Egypt first, but Ishizu was not in a hurry.

That night, she booked a restaurant of the highest local standard and prepared a table of extremely sumptuous banquet for You Xuan to welcome him.

You Xuan didn't know whether this banquet counted as public expense for her business trip as the director of the Archaeological Bureau, but he didn't be polite either. Both were duelists, neither drank alcohol, only exchanged card skills and the duel experiences of these years, and they chatted quite happily.

After the meal, You Xuan then went straight to the topic and asked: "I heard from Mr. Rishid that you have information about the Wicked Gods this time?"

Ishizu's movements paused slightly, and she sighed softly.

"Yes. We originally thought that by sending away the Pharaoh's soul, the Millennium Items and the three Egyptian Gods that the family had kept for three thousand years would also return to the places they should go, and everything should have ended.

But looking at it now, living in this world is probably not so easy to get peace."

She put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and looked out the window.

"The Wicked Gods... are about to wake up."
