Chapter 749

A dragon's roar pierced the heavens; the dragon, its body seemingly covered in iron armor, shot red light in all directions simultaneously. It was as if a hundred beams of light tore the dark realm into pieces, connecting into a screen of blood-colored light that pushed forward.

The dueling avatar condensed by the Wicked God was completely shattered under the force of this blow, vanishing like smoke in a violent storm. The Wicked God's unwilling roar still echoed in the void, as if lingering in hell for a long time.

"Destruction Dragon - Gandora..."

Kaiba muttered.

He had naturally never seen this Destruction Dragon that Fujiki You Xuan summoned. Destruction Dragon - Gandora G might have been the first time anyone had used it in a duel since the dawn of time; there had never been a record of this dragon in the history of dueling.

Destruction Dragon - Gandora itself was also a card series. Starting from the original Destruction Dragon - Gandora first used by Yugi Yugi Wu Teng in DM, the fate of the Destruction Dragon seemed to have been destined to be flamboyant.

Nowadays, card players generally consider the protagonist's ace "Firewall Dragon" from the sixth series, *Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS*, to be the first animated protagonist's ace monster in history to be invited into the "Ban List" and directly forbidden. But in fact, if one considers Yugi's deck as the protagonist's deck, Destruction Dragon - Gandora might be the ace that deserves this honor.

Destruction Dragon - Gandora only needs to pay half its Life Points to destroy and banish all cards on the field except itself, and then its own effect increases its ATK by the number of destroyed cards x 300. What's even more terrifying is that this effect has no "once per turn" restriction.

Therefore, as early as 2004, this ancestor of the Destruction Dragon family was invited into the "Ban List," living a prison life that lasted thirteen years.

Later, although the big brother was released on bail, in the theatrical version, when Yugi battled Kaiba, he brought out a brand-new member of the Destruction Dragon family, "Destruction Dragon - Gandora X," which also possessed the effect of destroying the entire field, burning Life Points, and increasing ATK.

Later, because this big brother was also active on the front line of FTX for many years, he was also thrown into prison in 2019, and only after his effect was modified years later was he able to be released.

So the "prison-prone" constitution of the entire Destruction Dragon family was undoubtedly the tone set by the ancestor big brother; releasing a new "costume" easily makes them a prime target for the "Ban List."

President Kaiba has quite a say in this, after all, he was the victim bombed by "Destruction Dragon - Gandora X" the last time Yugi made a move...

"Light of the Golden Coffer, Destruction Dragon..."

Kaiba muttered to himself.

Yu... gi, you guy, you really haven't been truly idle all these years.

The outside world says that Yugi Yugi Wu Teng has retired from card games and his strength is long gone, but Kaiba never truly believed it. He didn't believe that a top-tier powerhouse like Yugi would really just let go and never touch cards again.

Now it seems he was right. Yugi just stopped showing his face; it doesn't mean he gave up on chasing higher heights. Perhaps the current environment and today's competitions no longer hold any attraction for him, but he has always been walking alone on the path of exploring higher realms.

Now it seems he might have even surpassed Kaiba.

No, that's impossible.

Kaiba clenched his fists.

When they met last time, he was careless and used "Monster Reborn" that Yugi gave him, only to be tricked into losing his way. But next time they meet, he won't be that embarrassed again.

No matter what realm Yu... gi has reached now, he will crush him with even greater power!

Although the Wicked God was defeated, that energy did not disappear. The three Wicked Gods' massive phantoms stood like three mountains, and beneath them, a dark sphere condensed.

Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward and slowly reached out toward the black sphere.

"Fujiki You Xuan!"

Judai interrupted.

Although the Wicked God was defeated and that evil aura and power were mostly weakened, and even the surrounding dark and evil realm seemed to be collapsing, Judai could still feel the threat from that black sphere.

That was the aggregate of the remaining parts of the three Wicked Gods. Although broken and weak, it was still dangerous.

But Fujiki You Xuan looked at him and just smiled slightly.

"It's okay."

So Judai said no more.

Fujiki You Xuan's smile always gave people a sense of peace; it seemed that even if he said nothing, it would make people instinctively believe that everything would be alright.

Of course, only for teammates.

If one were Fujiki You Xuan's opponent, seeing that sunny smile would only make one feel horrified, instinctively feeling that life and death would be unpredictable today. For example, today's Wicked God was an example.

Fujiki You Xuan reached out and touched the darkness.

In an instant, the black sphere seemed to release endless gravitational force, as if a great force had violently dragged his whole body into it.

His consciousness seemed to be traveling through an endless tunnel, as if crossing a thousand years of time and space.

Then Fujiki You Xuan saw it.

An ancient town that seemed to be from the ancient era, with overwhelming dark clouds covering the earth. Ferocious, strange shadows emerged from the pitch-black clouds.

The town was suddenly in chaos. Some people fled in panic, some knelt and trembled, and others even took advantage of the chaos to loot, hurt their compatriots, and burn and kill; flames ignited everywhere in the town.

"Wicked God!"

"The Wicked God is here!"

"..."

!

Then there was a chaotic memory, only sporadic fragments. But in that chaos, one could vaguely see the three proud and standing Phantom Gods. Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra, as well as a certain King with a starfish head who commanded the three gods.

"Your existence is too dangerous, Wicked God."

The Pharaoh said in a deep voice.

"I cannot continue to let you go."

Saying this, he waved his hand, and the Phantom Gods swarmed under his command, rubbing the Wicked Gods on the ground.

Then an old man who looked harmless appeared.

Fujiki You Xuan also recognized him; that was Priest Shimon, the previous life of Yugi Yugi Wu Teng's grandfather, Solomon Yugi Wu Teng.

"Well done, Your Majesty the Pharaoh!" Priest Shimon said. "The Wicked God's power is too strong; they are cursed gods and must be sealed!"

Wicked God: "..."

You guys, one is a cheater who controls Phantom Gods, and the other is the master of Exodia, what are you pretending for?

Yes, the Wicked Gods are cursed gods, existences that must be sealed. Because they are all too dangerous and too powerful. Because as long as they appear in the world, they are bound to bring disaster and destruction.

Because they are Wicked Gods.

They are the root of fear, the embodiment of evil, the culprits who destroy all things. From the moment they were born, they were given the name "Wicked God." Just as Phantom Gods are to be worshipped and admired by people and seen as guardian gods, they are born destined to be cursed, spurned, and sealed as symbols of evil to soothe people's hearts.

"... It is our defeat."

The voice of the Wicked God - The Avatar sounded.

It was no longer as angry as it was during the duel. Although it seemed to carry a hint of frustration, it had become calm.

"Do what you must, seal us, human."

"But gods are immortal," the Wicked God said coldly. "As long as there is darkness in this world, no matter how many times, we will..."

Before it could finish, Fujiki You Xuan reached out and scooped three cards from the center of the darkness, casually tucking them into his pocket.

Wicked God: "?"

After being stunned for a moment, the voice couldn't help but ask.

"Do you not intend to seal us?"
