Chapter 90: Playing Cards on the Boat Has Hurt Me so Much. From Today on, I Will Quit the Boat!

Hayato rolled his eyes at Malik and walked towards the stone slab, taking out several [Millennium Artifacts] that he had brought with him. Yugi also followed Hayato and walked forward. The rest of the people stayed where they were, watching the two people arrive in front of the stone slab.

"[Millennium Key] symbolizes life; [Millennium Scepter] symbolizes brain thinking." Embedding two gold objects on the left and right hands of the goddess Maat on the stone slab, Malik's eyes were quite emotional, and the seahorses were also numerous. He glanced at the [Millennium Scepter].

"[Millennium Jewelry] symbolizes the future, and" After placing the [Millennium Jewelry] on his neck, Hayato took off the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on his chest and touched this [Millennium Artifact] that had been with him for a long time. 】, embed it into the chest of the stone slab, "and the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] that guides the direction."

After putting down the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], Hayato stood up and turned around, making way for Yugi and walking towards where everyone was. Yugi also leaned over and took out several [Millennium Artifacts].

The foot of the stone slab is embedded with the [Millennium Scale] symbolizing balance, and then on the forehead of the goddess Mat, the [Millennium Eye] representing the soul is pressed in. The last thing is the [Millennium Building Block] on the chest of the game.

Although the [Millennium Cone] was a symbol of royal power three thousand years ago, in the eyes of the game, the [Millennium Brick] is a symbol of friendship.

‘Speaking of which, everything started when he completed the [Millennium Brick] game. ’ Looking at the [Millennium Brick] in Yugi’s hand, Muto Sugoroku thought silently in his heart. The gold cabinet containing the [Millennium Building Blocks] was the trophy obtained from his last expedition in Egypt, but he regarded that expedition more as his defeat.

Because of that experience, Muto Shuangroku took off his suit and put on suspender jeans in accordance with his vow. He changed from a mafia-like game master to a little old man looking at the game house, and has always been with his friend who doesn’t have many friends. Lonely grandson.

Muto Shuangroku himself also tried to put the [Millennium Bricks] together, but had no clue, so he gave it as a toy to his grandson, and told the game that as long as he finished putting the [Millennium Bricks] together, his wish would come true.

However, that was actually a lie. Muto Sugoroku had never heard of the [Thousand-Year Brick]’s ability to grant wishes. He actually thought that if the game could complete the puzzle, he would be a genie in a fairy tale to satisfy his wishes as much as possible, whether it was what toys he wanted or where to play.

Besides, he didn’t think it was really possible for humans to complete something like the Millennium Building Blocks. He even planned to fulfill his wish to make his grandson happy even after the game gave up.

But Shuangroku Muto didn't expect two things. One was that Yugi's wish was to have friends, and the other was that Yugi actually spent eight years relying on his own perseverance to actually complete the [Millennium Building Blocks]. And the completed [Millennium Building Blocks] really fulfilled Yugi's wish and helped him make many friends.

I just didn't expect that now Yugi would need to remove the [Millennium Brick] that brought him his first friend, and take the initiative to send his first friend away...

"Thank you, [Millennium Building Block]." Looking at the [Millennium Building Block] in his hand, Yugi untied the chain and solemnly embedded it into the heart of the stone slab.

And the moment the game put the [Millennium Bricks] in, because all seven [Millennium Artifacts] were gathered together, the seven ancient relics began to shine under the connection of the stone slabs, and even automatically formed a strong airflow around them. Under the golden light, the "Eye of Horus" surrounded by the ancient Egyptian priest's writing on the wall in front of the stone slab also lit up simultaneously!

"The 'Eye of Horus' on the door is glowing!" Honda said in surprise, and Malik also explained, "The text on it says that the Eye of Horus can see through the duel ritual to see the truth of the soul. . Since it lights up, it means that from now on, both Pharaoh's Soul and Muto Yugi must fight with all their strength and not hold back."

"Speaking of which, although we all agree that Yugi will be the opponent to duel with Atum." Jonouchi said with some confusion, "But how should Atum and Yugi duel?"

Hearing this, Hayato smiled mysteriously: "Didn't the three-year-old just say that? The eyes of Ugato will see through the truth of the soul."

As Hayato's words fell, the pair of eyes above the Eye of Horus - the white-crowned dove goddess "Nekubet" from Upper Egypt, and the red-crowned snake goddess "Ugato" from Lower Egypt, The eyes of the two guardian gods of royal power lit up immediately following the Eye of Horus.

At the feet of Yugi who stood up, raised the Duel Disk, and unfolded it in a posture to meet the challenge. The shadow that was particularly obvious because it was illuminated by the light gradually split into two different parts, each facing an immobile direction. !

"Yugi's shadow!?" Jonouchi was shocked, looked left and right, pointed at Malik's feet and said, "Hey, Malik, your shadow is darker than ours!"

"Don't make such a fuss. I just said 'The Eyes of Ugato will see through the reality of the soul', and the reflected shadow is actually our soul." Malik said nonchalantly, as if he had already There was an expectation, "As for me, even though so much time has passed, a part of my soul is really missing, and it's hard to recover."

"Oh, that's it. No wonder you are in a daze."

"You're the one with the soul! That's called the shadow!"

No one paid much attention to Malik's dissatisfaction, because they were more concerned about the fact that after the shadow under his feet split into two, a golden light suddenly flashed on Yugi's body, and then it was as if the high-speed movement produced an afterimage. , The game actually split into two along with the shadow? !

The light in front temporarily dimmed, and when the two "games" turned to look to the side, everyone discovered that although the two "games" seemed to be dressed the same, there were extremely subtle differences. For example, the game on the right was very regular. The girl on the right is wearing a school uniform, while "Yi" on the right wears the school uniform as a windbreaker and drapes it over her shoulders. She also reveals the neck ring and wristbands that were previously blocked by the school uniform. The look is quite cool.

The expressions of the two people are also different. Compared with the game on the left, the "game" on the right looks sharper and more outgoing. Even Becas, who has lost one eye, can recognize him when he comes here. These are clearly Yugi and Atum!

After the ritual of dueling began, Atum seemed to be cheating by switching personalities to separate the two souls in order to avoid the need for a duel, and even provided Atum with a temporary body that existed in reality!

"Damn it, am I seasick or have a heatstroke? Is it because of the duel on the boat yesterday?" Kaiba instantly came up with a "scientific" reason to explain the phenomenon in front of him and said with certainty, "I was attracted by the duel on the boat. The injury is so unbearable? From today on, quit sailing!"

"You didn't even mention the duel. It's completely as expected." Keppei complained.

After looking at each other, Yugi and Atum smiled tacitly and said nothing. Instead, they just turned around with their backs facing each other, as if they were cowboys about to duel in a western cowboy movie. They usually walk with their backs to each other to keep the distance between them.

"Does this duel have to go on? Atum, he even got a body that can allow him to move." Looking at the silent two, the emotional Kyoko held her hands in front of her chest and couldn't help but said, "No need to bother The game can have its own body, but it will soon be lost again, that kind of thing."

"I always feel like, why are we in such a hurry, even if it's just for one day? Can the duel ceremony be postponed a little? Let's get together more, even if it's just for one day -"

A hand was put on Xingzi's shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was Yin Xisi. Yin Xisi, who is responsible for being the leader who leads the Pharaoh's soul here, shook her head regretfully and said: "I'm sorry, Masaki, but there is no way to stop the duel ceremony halfway after it has started, otherwise the Pharaoh's soul will be forever. There is no rest in wandering around in the world."

"Although you can stay with your friends in this world for a while longer, there is a limit to human lifespan. The soul of the Pharaoh who wanders forever will be tortured by the pain of watching his friends leave, and he will never be able to see them again. To his friends who are also waiting for him in the underworld.”

"You don't want to be like the old soul either, right?"

Seeing Kyoko being persuaded by Yin Xisi, Hayato pinched Yin Xisi's soft fingers to let her absorb it because of the strong sense of déjà vu.

"Well, I'm sorry for saying such strange things." Kyoko said apologetically, "Even now, I'm still thinking about greedy things."

Muto Shuangroku comforted Kyoko and said, "No, you don't need to apologize. Kyoko, in fact, you know the truth in your heart, right? But you still said it and expressed everyone's feelings."

"Whether it is Yugi or Atum, they have already decided. We cannot interfere in the duel between the two of them. The most we can do is to stand here, witness the outcome and serve as a witness. " Hayato concluded, crossing his arms across his chest.

Kaiba, on the other hand, snorted coldly: "How long should we talk about boring things? There was no cancellation or postponement of this duel in the first place, right? The reason is very simple. There is only one very simple reason, and that is that I came here to watch it."

"Didn't you say that the signal on the ship is not good? It's been so long since we got off the ship, why haven't you left yet? You just want to follow me, you trespassing seahorse!"

"Hmph, the mouth of a mediocre person really only makes some noises that are completely incomprehensible."

‘In my duel with you, I will use all my strength to win. ’ Turning his back to Atum, Yugi walked forward, ‘But that’s just a lie, it’s just self-deception. In fact, I don't want to duel with you, another me. ’

'However, if you continue like this, you will not be able to be freed from my prison. I am the one who wakes you up from your slumber, so instead of handing it over to others, I would rather be the one who defeats you and sends you to the underworld to bear the pain. This is my responsibility! ’

‘The other me, at this moment, I really want to be able to talk to you again, and listen to your whisper in the breeze again’

‘However, as a duelist who is determined to duel with you, I can only show my respect with silence! ’

Atum, who had his back turned to Yugi, had the same thoughts as Yugi at this moment. Although there is no transfer of [Millennium Building Blocks], the bond and tacit understanding between the two have never been based on that. Although the distance is getting farther, the hearts of the two have never separated for a moment.

‘Aibo, you are the one who accepted the ritual of dueling with me. Thank you very, very much. I can't find any words to express my gratitude to you other than 'thank you'. ’

Atum, who stood in sync with Yugi and turned his back to Yugi, did not turn around, but closed his eyes and thought in his heart, 'But, I am also a duelist, and the enemy who stands in front of me must use all my strength to defeat him. Its defeat, I believe you think so too. ’

‘Knocking down any enemy in front of you is the dignity of a duelist. ’ Yugi also stood still with his back to Atum, thinking in his mind, ‘You think the same way, my other self. ’

‘So——’X2

The thoughts in his mind were extremely synchronized. Atum took out the card deck he had prepared from the card box on his waist. Yugi also put down the gold cabinet he brought, opened it on the ground, and took out the card deck stored in it.

‘——I want to knock you down! ’X2

Both sides inserted the card deck into the duel plate, and the numbers appeared on the duel plate with the two shouting in unison:

"Duel!"

[Soul of Pharaoh·Atum: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[King's Container·Muto Game: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"The duel has begun!" Kaiba opened his eyes wide and did not blink for a long time, refusing to let go of even a single detail of this duel.

"In the end, should we cheer for that side?" Looking at Atum and then at the game, Yujia's expression was extremely tangled, "If Atum wins, he can be with us as before. Well, but in that case”

"I want to cheer for Yugi, in order to bring Atum back to the underworld!" Jonouchi said firmly, but Honda saw that Jonouchi's fists were tightly clenched as he spoke, and sweat was flowing down his forehead.

‘Yes, Atum’s soul must be liberated. ' Hearing Jonouchi's words, although she was also extremely reluctant to give up, Kyoko also raised her head, 'Me too, I also want to cheer for the game! ’

"This is a trial. I think this is a trial to overcome the past. Only by overcoming the past can people grow." Looking at Atum and Yugi, Hayato said to himself, "You guys I think so too, Atum still has a game."

"The glory will be with you, and we will be here to witness it until the end."

Looking at Atum, Yugi said firmly: "Then, I'm going to fuck the other me!"

"Come on, Aibo!" Atum responded, watching Yugi pull a card from the deck.

"I will go first, my turn, draw a card!" Add the card to your hand, and the game will draw a card, "Then I activate the magic card, [Red-Eye Fusion]! Take [Red-Eye Fusion] from my deck Black Dragon] and level 6☆ [Magic Crystal Dragon-Water Guild Demon God] are sent to the graveyard as fusion materials.”

"Fusion Summon this monster from the fusion deck!" Yugi held a card with a purple border in his hand and played it on the duel plate.
