Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Impossible, it's just a mirror image."

“Obviously just.”

Overlord Gold's pupils contracted.

He raised his head, only to find that the endless darkness surrounding him, like an abyss, seemed to be beginning to melt away.

It was as if a fire had ignited in the cold abyss; even though it was so tiny, even though it seemed insignificant compared to the darkness, it still burned tenaciously and blossomed in the darkness.

The young man in red walked slowly towards the flames.

".Why?"

The Overlord asked in disbelief.

He was truly puzzled from the bottom of his heart.

His evil hero is clearly a fully enhanced version, just like the symbol of himself and this boy. He is the one who has the power, the power that does not need extra emotions and exists only for winning, and he will never lose to anyone again.

Why did I lose to this person even after all this?

"Perhaps you are indeed stronger than me." Judai said to him with a smile, "Through the duel, I can indeed feel that your strength is indeed beyond my reach.

But even so, I still win. Because I also have something that you don’t have.”

The Overlord looked at him blankly.

"Like I said," Judai grinned and gestured to his deck, "an irreplaceable partner."

"In the past year, I've seen new possibilities in duels. I've learned that even the heroes I thought I knew all about had possibilities I didn't know."

“He taught me all these.”

"He was also the first one to tell me that dueling is not always a happy thing. There are also many heavy moments. As a duelist, you have to bear the cruelty of victory and defeat.

Our failure may affect the fate of those we are meant to protect.

The fate of those whom our victories may harm, those whom we have to defeat.”

Judai said softly.

"I only vaguely understood it before, but after meeting you today and fighting with you, I now feel that I truly understand it. You have always carried away the heaviest darkness in my life. Thank you very much."

"But as I said, from now on, whether it's pain or the sins of fighting, we will bear it all together."

“.”

Judai felt that this was a good speech.

He had not prepared a script in advance, but every word came from his heart. He had understood that the dark phantom before him was indeed a part of himself, the inner darkness that he had been missing.

Everyone has a dark side, and this is especially true for powerful duelists. Even someone as powerful as the Pharaoh had a huge shadow in his heart.

Light and shadow have always been mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and a person without this darkness is incomplete.

So Judai has made up his mind to face the darkness in his heart. From now on, he will bear all the darkness and sins that the Overlord carries and continue to move forward.

He felt that this should have been a very moving scene.

Until the Overlord heard this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and glared at him with murderous golden eyes.

Suddenly, Overlord thought of the duel when he went to the other dimension.

The bird's eggs that suddenly ate his three most evil ones, and the chestnut ball that slapped him to death as if it was a humiliation.

He still recalls the humiliation of that slap.

And now, the dignified Elemental Hero has been turned into a closed loop by his own mirror image in the mortal world. The Eternal Hero, a fusion of earth, water, fire and wind, has been turned into the infinite firepower of the Catapult Turtle.

The style of the painting connected immediately.

"The friend you're talking about," Overlord said stiffly, "is that the guy from last time?"

"Huh?"

Judai's emotions became incoherent after being interrupted like this.

Then he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"You mean You Xuan? How did you know?"

Overlord: “.”

really.

The culprit is still that guy.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Standing in the center of the Overlord's Castle that had been captured, the three of them gathered together again, and Jonouchi couldn't help but ask.

The hall was full of fallen Overlord Army generals and soldiers. While Judai was busy inside, the two of them were not idle either, and they defeated one group of Overlord Guards after another outside.

Most of them were beaten violently and sent away as a team, and only a few elites survived a few rounds by playing cards. However, for both You Xuan and Jonouchi, it was only a warm-up exercise level of difficulty, and they basically won the whole process easily.

"Yeah, it's okay."

Judai nodded.

Then he turned around and looked at the room behind him. The door to the Overlord's room had been tightly closed, as if the devil was sealed in the deepest part of the castle.

"It's over." Judai said, "Although the process was a little tortuous, I won."

He paused and turned to You Xuan: "I used 'that move'."

"Oh? You used 'that trick'."

You Xuan nodded slightly.

It seems to be saying, this child is indeed teachable.

He couldn't help but imagine how the Overlord would react when being tortured by the Eternal Life Cannon's autistic loop. Although that icy poker face probably couldn't have too many expressions, that murderous look would definitely be funny.

Um?

You Xuan, who was in his imagination, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked at Judai strangely.

"What's wrong?" Judai looked back at him.

"No, nothing."

You Xuan withdrew his gaze, feeling strange in his heart.

Oh, am I overthinking?

Why did I really feel the murderous look in the Overlord's eyes just now?

"I'm glad you're alright." Jonouchi stretched. "Well, it's finally over. I've finally gotten over a worry. This has been a long time coming."

He came to the twelfth dimension by chance because he was plotted against by a crayfish. But later, he saw the people living here in dire straits, and as a passionate young man with power, he could not ignore it.

It took a long time, but it was finally successful.

"But why do I feel like your temperament seems different?"

Jonouchi looked at Judai for a moment.

"Are you really okay?"

"It's no problem." Judai nodded, "I've just merged with the Overlord, so he's kind of inside me now."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Jonouchi nodded as if he understood.

But about half a minute after he turned around, his head slowly turned back.

"Wait, what are you going to say!?"

He widened his eyes and looked at Judai in disbelief.

"You mean, the dictatorial lunatic we came all the way to find, the duel machine with the ultimate dark power."

"It's in you now."

"Well, it's not that serious actually." Judai scratched his head, "but it's almost right."

Jonouchi: “.”

He suddenly wanted to ask, is your definition of "nothing" a little different from mine?
