Chapter 688: Incarnation

Fujiki You Xuan woke up exceptionally early the next day.

He felt he had slept well that night and was in a very good mental state after getting up. However, recalling what he saw in his dream last night—Wu Teng Yugi, who was already in a semi-otherworldly state, and the unscientific act of giving a card through a dream—he felt it was even more bizarre after waking up and couldn't help but start to doubt its authenticity.

"Silent?"

Fujiki You Xuan summoned Silent. Turning his head, he saw Silent kneeling obediently on the bed nearby, tilting her head and looking at him, waiting for instructions.

Fujiki You Xuan asked, "Did you come into my dream last night?"

Silent nodded.

Fujiki You Xuan asked again, "Did we meet Wu Teng Yugi? Was all that real?"

Silent nodded again, thought for a moment, and reached out her small hand to point at the card case on the bedside.

Fujiki You Xuan understood, realizing she was saying that he would know by looking at the card the other party had given him. So Fujiki You Xuan leaned over, picked up the card case, and opened it; the card on top seemed to be the one obtained in the dream.

But when he pulled the card out, he saw that it was still covered with a layer of golden light as it had been in the dream, and the pale golden flowing light was like a cover, shielding the content on the card. Through that light, he could only vaguely see that there seemed to be card art and content, but it was too blurry to see clearly.

Fujiki You Xuan felt disappointed.

"There are more and more cards with unknown meanings"

Big Eyes floated out to the side and said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you saying has an unknown meaning?"

Fujiki You Xuan pondered that since it was a card given by Yugi, it should probably have special significance, and judging by the current situation, it might be related to fighting the Evil Gods. Yugi had also fought the Evil Gods back then.

However, thinking about it again, what Yugi gave Yucheng Shidai was Winged Kuriboh. Although it was an important partner and a precious spirit to Yucheng Shidai, its practical value in battle wasn't very high, so it was hard to say.

Regardless, Fujiki You Xuan still put the card away, thinking that if he had the chance later, he would contact the Kaiba Corporation or Industrial Illusions to see if he could use the power of technology to figure out the use of this card.

Fujiki You Xuan got up, washed, and had a simple breakfast at the hotel. When he went downstairs to the lobby, the Ma Like siblings were already waiting there.

Ma Like asked politely, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Not only very well, but I also had a chat with Mr. Yugi."

Both of them thought he was joking at first. But when Fujiki You Xuan told them about his experience last night and showed them the card radiating golden light, the smiles on the siblings' faces gradually disappeared, replaced by looks of utter disbelief, and they couldn't help but click their tongues in wonder.

After a long while, Ma Like said, "It's been so many years, and I'm afraid Mr. Yugi's realm has reached a level we can't imagine by now."

Ishizu said, "Since Mr. Yugi gave you this card, it will probably be helpful for subsequent matters. You should just carry it with you."

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask." Fujiki You Xuan said, "What's the plan? Take the initiative and go find those Evil Gods?"

Ishizu said, "Correct. The Evil Gods' seals are about to be broken, and even if we leave them alone, it's only a matter of time, and the longer we drag it out, the stronger they will become.

Since we've decided to clear the obstacles, we might as well strike early. Their recovery is incomplete, so they might be easier to deal with."

Ma Like interjected, "But the problem lies in the location of the Evil Gods' seals. That place, I'm afraid, can only be found by the guardian spirit in charge now."

Fujiki You Xuan looked down at his Duel Disk. That eye floated out, looking a bit nervous, and said, "Eh? Are... are you talking about me? But I can't remember anything..."

Ma Like continued, "The Tombkeeper clan has recorded some ancient rituals. Among them are those that can communicate with spirits, and there are also records of assisting spirits in developing power and stimulating evolution. We have studied some of these rituals in detail and found one that might help the spirit find its memory."

That eye widened immediately, surprised for a moment, and then asked nervously, "Will... will it hurt?"

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at it and ignored the question directly: "Fine, then lead the way. Let's finish this as soon as possible."

Eye expressed protest: "Ignoring the wishes of the person involved!?"

"Come this way, the car is already waiting outside." Ishizu said, "The ritual needs to be performed at the family altar, and I already had people make preparations last night."

The three were about to turn and leave the lobby. But just a few steps away, they saw someone blocking the door. It was a man in black, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with a face full of flesh, but his complexion was almost bloodless. His facial muscles were as stiff as a zombie's, expressionless, but in stark contrast, his eyes were filled with killing intent, as if the desire to kill was about to surge out from them at any moment, and within that killing intent lay an endless darkness.

All three were seasoned duelists and had a keen perception of darkness and hostility. The three stopped in unison, their gazes falling on the man.

Ma Like asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The man didn't answer, and Fujiki You Xuan had already narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, they won't let us act freely so easily."

After a pause, Fujiki You Xuan said, "Let me guess, Evil God, right?"

As he asked, Ma Like and Ishizu were both startled and began to size up the person in front of them more cautiously.

"Last time it was The Eraser." Fujiki You Xuan continued to ask, "Then who are you this time? The Dreadroot? Or did the Incarnation of God come out in person?"

The big man didn't speak, and after two seconds of silence, he opened his Duel Disk.

He pulled back a few steps, stood still, and then said, "You guessed right. I am the Incarnation of God, the supreme Evil God. However..."

His expression turned even more sinister, and he said in a low voice.

"To deal with a mere human, there's no need for the power of an Evil God."

(Author's note: Read every word without missing any!)

"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it."

Fujiki You Xuan raised his arm to signal the other two to retreat, and he also unfolded his Duel Disk.

Ma Like and Ishizu looked at each other, both knowing their strength was inferior to Fujiki You Xuan's, so they didn't speak up to say they would take the fight, but each retreated backward.

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Evil God, LP 4000】

Fujiki You Xuan: "Then I'll go first, draw a card."

Fujiki You Xuan drew a card, then backhanded and revealed the card in his hand.

"Magic card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the deck."

Fujiki You Xuan drew two more cards. The Evil God only made some vague sounds in his mouth, unable to hear what he was saying.

"Set a monster in face-down defense position. Then set a face-down card, turn end."

Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand to set two face-down cards, ending the turn.

Evil God said: "Then it's my turn, draw a card."

He drew a card slowly, frowned, then directly drew two cards from his hand and displayed them as well.

The one in front was clearly visible; it was actually a girl card.

"Darklord Ixchel's monster effect." Evil God said, "Discard this card and a Darklord card from your hand to activate, draw two cards from your deck."

His fingers moved, and the card that had been blocked behind Ixchel was also displayed; it turned out to be a Darklord card as well.

"Send two Darklords to the graveyard, draw two cards from the deck."

The change of hand cards seemed plain and unremarkable, but Fujiki You Xuan's expression became a bit more serious.

It's actually Darklords.
