Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Infinite Loops!

And it’s not just an ordinary LOOP.

The purpose of infinite loop is either to earn a large amount of resources or to inflict damage and defeat the opponent in an infinite loop.

But this isn't even a LOOP, his fucking purpose is to allow himself to shuffle the cards infinitely!

Amon didn't know what to say anymore.

To what extent must the mentality of this guy be twisted for someone to come up with such a weird loop not for winning but simply to destroy his opponent's mentality and wrist?

And he just thought casually, who knew there were people in the world so bored? Such a complicated loop, really just to make himself shuffle the cards?

"Come on, what are you still standing there for?" You Xuan said with a smile, "Shuffle the cards."

Amon gritted his teeth, pulled out the deck helplessly, and shuffled the cards.

Sure enough, that feeling came back again.

It was as if his consciousness had been sucked into the deck. Endless memories, endless pain. Every difficult decision he had ever made, all the memories he had been trying to avoid all these years.

"Uhhhhhh!"

A shuffle once again had him sweating profusely, his body almost seeming to shake as he fell to his knees.

It's not that the body has really suffered any great harm and burden, but it's completely mental.

He wasn't sure how many times he could endure this kind of shuffle.

But what he knew was that this was far from over. It was just the beginning of an endless tormenting nightmare.

You Xuan’s voice was still ringing.

"Regenerating Slime, attack 'Cloud Monster-Cloud Rain Man'."

"Regenerating Slime revives, and Black Garden Special Summon a new 'Rose Token' on your field."

"Eye of the typhoon, attack the rose derivatives."

"The representation of the devil's wisdom is forced to change."

“.”

It was another series of repetitive cycles, and then You Xuan made a "please" gesture.

"The effect of the devil's wisdom. Come on, continue shuffling the cards."

Amon gritted his teeth, and the look he gave him seemed to be spitting fire.

I'm going to wash it for the hell of a while!

"If you don't want to wash, it's easy." You Xuan chuckled, "Just surrender."

"Give up what you have been holding on to, give up the beliefs that your family has instilled in you. Do what you want to do, and be free to choose your own path."

You Xuan was earnest and persuasive.

“You don’t have to win all the time. There are always new paths and new options.”

"Why do you have to follow the family's expectations and carry the family's future forward?"

Amon breathed heavily and looked at the deck in his hand.

Yes, if you just surrender.

Surrendering didn't just mean giving up the victory in this round. It felt more like giving up the family's expectations of him and the heavy burden on his shoulders.

No more thinking too much, no more having to bear too much. He doesn't have to win all the time, but can choose his own path as he pleases.

It's like.

Yes, just like those leisurely and free clouds in the sky.

but

Amon gritted his teeth, veins popped out on his arms, and tremblingly pulled out the deck again.

"I accept the effect of 'Devil's Wisdom'"

"He is really a man with strong will."

You Xuan held his chin and muttered.

However, after Amon shuffled the cards, the corners of his mouth immediately raised.

"Well, how long can you hold on?"

“.”

"Regenerating Slime's attack."

"Regenerate Slime Regenerate, Special Summon 'Rose Token' on your field."

"Eye of the Typhoon attacks 'Rose Derivative'."

"The effect of the eye of the typhoon forced the display of 'Devil's Wisdom' to change."

“.”

“Ahhh—”

After being forced to shuffle the cards for who knows how many times, Amon was already supporting himself on the ground with his hands, sweating profusely.

No, not again.

All the memories, all the pain, all the parts of his life that he didn't want to look at

"You know, you've already lost, right?" You Xuan's voice sounded again, "I've already drawn most of the deck, and my resources are more than ten times yours.

Even if I don't play this little game, I still have about ten ways to win."

Amon: “.”

"Why fight the inevitable? You're not fighting for yourself at all." You Xuan said calmly, "You refuse to face yourself because you know it yourself.

Everything you do and strive for is not what you really want. What the chaebol wants is not what you want, Amon Gallem.

The reason you want to take the path of kingship is not for yourself. After re-examining your life so many times, haven't you remembered this?"

Like lightning streaking through the darkness, Amon was stunned for a moment.

My ideal, my reason for struggle.

That thing that he gradually chose to forget because it was too far away, that ideal that he sacrificed and forgot for his family and his brother.

After so many reshuffles, he was forced to look his own life in the face, and now he remembered it for sure.

"I do, I have a dream."

He clenched his fists, and his distracted eyes became firm again.

That was a dream he had had for a long time.

These were the thoughts that came to his mind as he slumped on the ground, hungry and powerless, looking at the scattered clouds in the sky.

An ideal new world.

There will never be another child like him. There will never be another broken family, no more hunger, no more pain. No matter if you are rich or poor, no matter your status or position, everyone will be able to live equally.

"I want to establish a new order."

He gasped and uttered these words with difficulty.

“I want to create a new world.”

"A world where everyone is equal and everyone is given the right to 'live'!"

Yes, now he remembered, this was his lifelong ideal as Amon Gallum.

He once gave up and willingly became a stepping stone for his younger brother. He could become whatever the family needed him to be, and forgot his own dreams for the sake of it.

This was originally the ideal that Amon decided to regain after his second trip to the other world in the anime. Yubel originally planned to uncover the deepest darkness in Amon's heart during the duel, but he unexpectedly discovered his true ideal.

This was something that Amon could not do in reality. He could not harm his brother or take his brother's place. But the appearance of Yubel gave him a new opportunity.

That is the Elf Dimension.

Amon obtained the power of the dark wizard Exodia in the elven dimension, and thought that if he was in this dimension, he could naturally build a new world.

In fact, if it weren't for Yubel, Amon in the anime might have been able to do it. If it was the original spirit dimension, looking at the entire dimension, there might not be anyone who could fight against Amon who had obtained Exodia.

And now, Amon has remembered.

Yes, this is not his battle. Everything he does now is just a stepping stone for the family.

He was tired and had tried his best, but this was not what he wanted.

Amon knelt on the ground and gently closed his eyes.

You Xuan's calm voice rang in my ears.

"When the Eye of the Typhoon attacks, the Devil's Wisdom once again changes from attack position to defense position." You Xuan said, "The effect of the Devil's Wisdom requires the controller to shuffle the cards."

Amon: “.”

Amon lowered his head and did not move for a long time.

Then he slowly raised his arms.

But this time, he didn't pull out the deck to shuffle the cards.

Instead, he placed his hand gently on top of the deck.

"I surrender."
