I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

"In this way, our tomb-guarding clan can finally... be completely liberated from the long bondage and start a new life." Malik's eyes showed a glimmer of light, full of longing for the future. Although... people all over the world must live in the shadow of Hoshimi Hitomi.

After reminiscing with Kaiba in the castle, Hoshimi Hitomi leaned against the wall and looked at the duel ceremony stage with twinkling eyes. This is really... DM's final duel.

Wang Xiang stood in the center of the stage. The candlelight shone on him, casting two shadows on the ground. Subsequently, the Pharaoh's soul separated from the container and condensed into an entity. The original control of the body was returned to Xiao Biao.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and nodded. Then, they went in opposite directions and walked to both sides of the stage.

"It's the first time to face each other in this state...another me."

"Ah, indeed. It feels a bit subtle, Aibo. It's like looking in a mirror."

The two fell into silence at the same time. After a long time, Xiao Biao raised his head. There was no trace of confusion in his eyes, only firm awareness.

"...I'm on it, Atum!"

"Come on, show me everything you have, Muto Yugi!"

"DUEL!!!"×2

[Muto Game LP: 8000, ROLL points: 5]

[Atum LP: 8000, ROLL points: 4]

"Well... there's sand in my eyes..." Jonouchi couldn't help but raise his head and close his eyes to prevent others from seeing his less manly side. He thought he was ready to wake up, but at this last moment, he still couldn't help it.

"No, Jonouchi. We must...witness the duel between the two of them from beginning to end." Kyoko murmured to herself. Tears dripped down her face, one drop, two drops, making the ground wet.

This is... the final battle that brings a perfect end to Atum's life.

Try your best (desperate)

Chapter 228 100 The deck that can’t make a show is given priority, I’m going to die

When Xiaobiao showed a monster card named [King of Heavenly Hell] in his hand and then covered it four times, Hoshimi Hitomi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Based on his years of experience in playing cards, Wang Xiang will probably send this one again.

And his instincts didn't deceive him. In this farewell battle, Xiao Biao went all out and took three shots of the old man without mercy, making the Pharaoh want to die. In the end, the former vessel brought the dead back to life, brought the Pharaoh's most loyal servant to life, and became his sharpest sword, piercing the Pharaoh's chest.

The winner of this duel is - Muto Yugi.

Wang Yang waved his hand at the ashamed-looking black magician and dismissed him. This is the rule, and he will not criticize his most loyal priest. And... what he himself longed for was exactly this ending.

"You won, Aibo." A relieved smile appeared on his face. This amazing journey spanning three thousand years is not a bad one. And now, he was going back to where he was supposed to be.

Back...home!

"The other me..." Xiaobiao was silent for a long time, then showed a big smile.

"Be careful along the way!" he said, with residual tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"...You have really become stronger. You are no longer the crybaby you used to be." Wang Xiang crossed his arms and said with a smile.

The people who were originally watching in the audience have now stepped onto the sacred stage. Jonouchi firmly hugged Wang Xiang's shoulders and made his chin look particularly square: "Yu... Atum, after returning to the underworld, use the crystallization of our friendship to fly away all the enemies, and tell those ancient people the power of bonds. How powerful it is!”

"More God cards, old man, let those ancient people who are rigid about drawing one against one see what a real God card is!"

"Go to the game with peace of mind. If there are new black magician enhancement cards, I will burn them for you!"

"Atum, be careful all the way. Leave the game... to me."

The new friends of the Pharaoh were chattering. Although they were getting along with each other in the same way as usual, there was also a hint of reluctance and sadness at the moment when parting was imminent.

"...Hmph, Yugi... Atum. You go to the underworld first and wait. A hundred years later, I will come to you with the re-evolved Blue Eyes! Then, we will end it!" Kaiba said ruthlessly Shaking his cloak, he looked down at Wang Xiang with a height of 1.8 meters, snorting contemptuously from his nose. Although he is as arrogant as ever, he also indirectly admits the fact that he is not as good as Wang Yang now.

"Go with peace of mind, Pharaoh. Death is not the end, and the barrier between life and death is not unbreakable." Hoshimi Hitomi raised the corner of his mouth with a slight arc, as if he thought of something happy, "This duel... is not Have fun? I'll come find you then—"

One in front and five in back in T formation, please give me some advice!

A sudden cold hit Wang Xiang, and he couldn't help but shiver in the scorching Egyptian land. He had no time to think about the deep meaning of Hoshimi Tong's words: "Yes, really? I'm really looking forward to it."

At this moment, the three God Cards he had collected in the secondary deck emitted red, yellow, and blue light, and began to vibrate slightly, seeming to announce that time had come.

"It seems that the time for separation has come." Pharaoh Atum showed a helpless smile. He no longer had any regrets, but he still couldn't help feeling sad about the separation.

He seemed to have thousands of words to say, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a faint smoke and dissipated. In the end, he just said: "I... am leaving."

Hiroshitomi clapped his hands lightly and nodded: "Congratulations."

"..." Although everyone didn't understand what he meant, they all applauded under the lead.

"Congratulations." "Congratulations." "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Wang Yang showed... well, a slightly complicated smile. He turned his head and took a last look at Aibo, as if he wanted to deeply engrave the face that was no different from his own in the depths of his soul.

Then, he shook his windbreaker and walked towards the slowly opening gate of the underworld without any nostalgia.

Beyond the gate of the underworld is the scorching desert city. The dazzling sunlight shone on Wang Yang's body, reflecting his soul in its original appearance. Bronze skin, luxurious gold jewelry, and a thousand-year-old brick hanging on his chest. That was the great pharaoh, Atum, three thousand years ago.

At the very end, no one spoke, but just stared at Atum's departure in silence.

In front of the gate of the underworld, Wang Yang paused slightly. He did not look back, because there was no need. He just kept silent and raised his right arm. Four fingers clenched, thumb pointing to the sky.

Friends... dear friends.

Goodbye!

Then, without any nostalgia, he stepped into the other side of the gate. The soul that wandered on the earth finally returned to the hometown of his soul.

The stone room trembled violently, as if it had completed its mission and was about to collapse. But Xing Jiantong looked up, and the vibration subsided immediately, like an illusion. This is the promised place engraved with important memories. They said goodbye to their friends and made a vow to meet again. It would be a pity if it was damaged.

"Goodbye, Atum. The next time we meet, it should be in the underworld." Jonouchi murmured to himself. At this moment, he no longer suppressed his tears, letting them slide down his face and drip onto the ground. But his face was still firm, not distorted by sadness.

Jonouchi is already a qualified man. There are people who love him and people he loves to bear.

"Atum's story has come to a perfect end, and my... Muto Yugi's story will continue. This is for a day of reunion... Before that, wait, another me." Xiaobiao, Yugi clenched his fists. Contained in the calm words is a steel-like will and oath.

"I think it won't be long before we meet again. By then..." Hoshimi Hitomi murmured to himself. His voice was very soft and was not heard by others.

One in front and five in the back T formation, please advise!

"Okay. Is the sentimentality enough?" Kaiba suddenly spoke, interrupting the heavy atmosphere. He was not too moved by Wang Yang's departure. He just watched his nemesis return to the place where he should have returned.

Moreover, before this, his dimensional transcendence system had already transcended the barrier between universes with the help of the dark power of the Blue God. If he dissected the Blue God again, it would not take long for the transcendence of the underworld and the world to be nothing more than a common thing.

By then, he would play cards with Hoshimi Hitomi in the morning, go to the underworld to play cards with Atum in the afternoon, and play games at night. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

"Hoshimi - duel with me! Right here, on this sacred stage that sent Atum back to the underworld!" Kaiba's eyes burned with scorching flames. His whole body was surging with air waves, emitting a high temperature like substance, and even the air was vaguely distorted by the high fighting spirit, showing the shape of flames.

"Don't run away, don't make excuses! I will prove that only I - only I am the one who is most worthy of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! I am the strongest White Dragon Master!!!"

... What does it mean?

Jonouchi and the others couldn't help but be surprised by Kaiba's sudden invitation to fight. There are only three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in this universe, and they should all be in Kaiba's hands. Kaiba is the one and only White Dragon Master. Since he is unique, he is naturally the strongest. What is the need to prove it! ?

"...Ah, okay. Just think of it as a way to resolve your knot." Hoshimi Hitomi couldn't help but sigh. After defeating the Patriotic President, he still has to fight World Diego, in this Ganges.

He pulled out the Source Dragon Maid deck from the duel disk, carefully put it into the card box under his coat, and then inserted another deck into the storage board.

'Kisara... Don't lose! '

'Humph! This lady just wants to prove that I am the strongest dragon, and I am not fighting for you! ///'

"...Humph!" Kaiba snorted coldly, looking at the deck lying quietly in the storage board of the duel disk, feeling the surging vitality coming from it, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Blue-Eyes... is in great shape today as always! Even if it's a fight between the same clan, his Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the strongest and invincible!

The others retreated back to the stage again, leaving the venue to Hoshimi Hitomi's Kaiba. And Jonouchi seemed to have thought of something, and put on the VR goggles he had just got.

"Into the Vrains!" he whispered.

"Jounouchi, what are you doing? Doesn't the manual say not to use it in dusty places? If sand gets in, it will be troublesome to send it for repair."

"Shh, this has nothing to do with the Millennium Artifact, the Dark Power, or the Pharaoh. It's just a duel between the Star King, one of the first Duel City Double Crowns, and the top four White Dragon Envoy Kaiba. Taking this opportunity to start a live broadcast, I Not only can I make a lot of money, but I can also kill two birds with one stone by swollen the faces of those idiots who say that Hoshimi Hitomi is outdated and unqualified."

Jonouchi smiled like a profiteer, looking at the large number of viewers pouring into the live broadcast room, hehehe giggled. Hoshimi, Kaiba, live happily!

"DUEL!!!"×2

[Hoshimi Hitomi LP: 8000, ROLL points: 3]

[Haima LP: 8000, ROLL points: 4]

"I'll let you attack first." Kaiba crossed his arms and said proudly. It's not that he has fallen into his old habits again, it's that he has become self-aware. Qingyan's system first attack can't create any oppressive scenes, so it relies entirely on stickers outside the system.

The stickers will be easily destroyed by a broom or electric wind unless he is killed. But the decree will in turn hinder his own filtering magic. Therefore, the construction of Sticker White Dragon felt awkward no matter how I changed it, and in the end I simply gave it up.

Now Kaiba has returned to his original intention. His white dragon is an OTK white dragon attacking from behind! When the removal cards and output are full, the only thing to play is the backhand!

Just go ahead and do it, Hoshimi. If I can’t solve it, I lose! Kaiba's eyes burned with an icy coldness.

"Then, I'll take the initiative." Looking at the five initial cards in his hand, Hoshimi Hitomi pondered slightly. Gao Xing started his hand, but he couldn't move without it being stuck. This is really thanks to the bond with Qisara who explained it in a simple and easy way.

Try it out first!

Hoshimi Hitomi's eyes narrowed and she showed a card to Kaiba. It was a monster that resembled the [Dragon Dominator] that Kaiba once used.

"[Dragon Ruler-Dragon Dictator-], the effect is activated. The card with the same name is once per turn. It can be activated by sending 1 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from your hand or deck to the graveyard. This card is activated from your hand. Special Call."

"Blue eyes..." "White dragon!?" Everyone under the stage couldn't help but widen their eyes. How is it possible? There should only be three Blue Eyes White Dragons in this world. Why does Hoshimi... hold them! ? Could it be... that Paradis Company secretly printed it themselves? ?

They couldn't help but look at Kaiba with a hint of pity in their eyes. No wonder!

"Hmph!" Kaiba couldn't help but let out a loud snort. Hoshimi, Blue Eyes White Dragon... I am more familiar with it! ! !

In the monster area, a magician monster wearing dragon bone armor and holding a blue-eyed white dragon's head appeared, squatting in a defensive position to guard Hoshimi Hitomi. The style of the staff, to be honest... is very low.

[Dragon Ruler-Dragon Dictator-][Effect]

[Race: Magician] [Lv4] [Attribute: Dark]

[ATK: 1200] [DEF: 1100]

"Then, activate the magic card, [Bargain Shopping]. Discard [Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon] from your hand. Draw——"

"Discard Gray Flow Rei, that effect is invalid." Kaiba interrupted immediately. The Blue Eyes White Dragon was a mortal bone, and it would be of no use even if it was piled into the graveyard, so he kept the Gray Flow Rei in his hand and did not activate the effect until this moment. But... [Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon] is another brand-new Blue-Eyes reinforcement card! ? Hoshimi...

There was burning jealousy in Kaiba's eyes.

The aunt on the forehead tore the virtual image card on Hoshimi Hitomi's field into two halves. I won’t smoke it for you!
