The true warning states: "The 'True Dragon of Sin' can be destroyed by banishing 'Sin' monsters from the graveyard instead of destroying them. The only monster you can destroy is the 'Trident Dragon of the Ice Barrier'!"

"No, don't you have other cards on your field that can destroy them?"

You Xi wasn't swayed by the truthful words; his gaze fell upon his surroundings, which had been transformed into a world resembling a film reel.

"I'm going to destroy the 'World of Sin'! [Space-Based Destruction Cannon]!"

"There's no way to avoid it after all."

Seeing that his rhetoric had failed, Zhen Shi's heart sank. He could only watch as the flashes of the "satellite warriors'" artillery fire engulfed the surroundings, turning the battlefield into a smoke-filled wasteland.

At the same time, the golden dragon let out a painful roar and fell from the sky.

"All 'Sin' monsters share a common weakness: they destroy themselves if there are no 'Sin' monsters on the field. This renders your 'Sin True Dragon' useless. Furthermore, because a card was destroyed, 'Satellite Warrior's' ATK increases to 3500."

"Even so, using the 'Satellite Warrior' to destroy the 'Trident Dragon' only dealt me ​​a maximum of 200 damage. That's not enough to defeat me."

"Immaculate said, having jumped off the collapsed head of the 'True Dragon' ahead of time."

Even though he's a villain, he possesses the pride and confidence of a duelist. He won't give up until the very last moment, and if he survives to the next round, he's confident he can turn the tables again.

You Xi was well aware of this, so he decided to use his last card to end the suspense.

"The missing pieces can be filled with this card! Activate the Spell Card: 'Altar of Resurrection'! As cost, banish the top 2 cards of your Deck and add 1 card from your Graveyard to your hand. I choose 'Monster Reborn'!"

"Then activate it, 'Monster Resurrection'!"

A verdant holy cross rose above Yuxi's head, and dazzling yet soft stardust light gathered once more between his palms—

"Stardust Dragon, ATK: 2500"

The silver-white dragon, carrying the prayers of the stars, flapped its wings, scattering starlight. It completed the final piece needed for Yuki's victory.

"Enter the final battle phase! 'Satellite Warrior' destroys 'Trident Dragon,' and then, bring this on, Real! 'Stardust Dragon' attacks directly—"

As if pouring all his emotions and will into it, Yu Xi swung his arm forward with force, and a magnificent and beautiful roar of the Star Dragon responded, leaving a trail of light mixed with countless stardust and a gentle breeze in the sky that would last for a long time.

"—[Sonic speed of fire]!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

[Real LP: 375 → 0]

Five years later, Stardust's past defeat and lingering resentment were avenged by Youxi.

New bounty!

I'll pay off the debt faster, and to give myself more motivation, I've decided to start a new bounty!

This time, since I didn't have perfect attendance, it doesn't count as a knife attack.

Let's see how many chapters we'll owe this time?

Chapter 217 My mission is complete

Stardust glittered, piercing the sky.

This strike, imbued with the shared will of the elf and the duelist, shattered the ice and evil, and definitively secured victory in the duel.

—This is also the scene that Saki saw after she woke up.

"This is……"

Before her still somewhat bewildered gaze lay the boy she had gradually become familiar with recently, and the Star Dragon who had caused her and the young lady so much suffering.

At this moment, the Star Dragon has shed the ominous and dark aura it possessed when it was corrupted by "sin," and is now sacred and noble, like... no, like a shining star in the sky.

And the one who opposes these stars and the youth is the man who has removed his black and white mask.

The man was struck head-on by the meteor's light and sent flying backwards until he crashed into a massive rock wall. Cracks even appeared where the rock struck him, subtly demonstrating the immense power of the impact.

"Mr. You Xi?"

Seeing this, Saki couldn't help but ask, "Did you win the duel?"

"Saki Koi?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Xi turned her head sharply and met Saki's gaze: "You're awake? That's great! Is anything bothering you?"

"No, not really."

As a maid of the Kaiba family, Saki had received a set of "professional" training, so even the impact of Dark Duel didn't put too much strain on her. Furthermore, the safety devices on the Duel Disk also served to protect the duelists.

After a brief assessment of her physical condition, she concluded that she was in good health.

There are more important things to care about than that.

"Mr. You Xi, where is Miss? Why don't I see her?"

Mashiro Kaiba was teamed up with Yuuki to duel Makoto. Since Yuuki is dueling Makoto now, Mashiro Kaiba has most likely lost the duel. However, Mashiro Kaiba's Duel Disk is equipped with a safety device, so even if she lost, she should theoretically be nearby.

"Mashiro, she..."

You Xi's expression darkened slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

This attitude gave Saki a bad feeling.

Before You Xi could actually speak, someone answered her question first.

"Heh... Your young lady, of course, was turned into a card because she lost the Dark Duel."

He stood up with a trembling body, covered in wounds from the attack by the "Stardust Dragon". The Feel fluctuations emanating from his body had become as weak as a wisp of fire, but this did not prevent him from continuing to speak.

"Your security device is indeed quite ingenious, but it's not perfect and without any loopholes. After defeating you before, I roughly figured out how it works—as long as I use my Feel to hack in before the security device officially takes effect, I can block or destroy it in advance."

"So, it's like a computer virus?"

Because he was caught up in his emotions, You Xi hadn't realized the problem before. Only after calming down and hearing the truth did he realize what he had done.

Incidentally, he also remembered something else.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you force the Dark Game to end yourself? You should have been able to do that before."

"Being able to do something doesn't mean there are no limits."

He calmly stated, "It's just like the ultimate skill in a game; it has a cooldown period. You can't use it again for a short time."

"Doesn't that mean this is your life-saving skill?"

You Xi asked in surprise, "You used it so easily?"

"After all, I have something I want, and it's not unacceptable to risk my life for it. However, I was full of confidence at the beginning, but I didn't expect to stumble here."

He said with a hint of regret, as he laboriously raised his hand and removed the deck from his sparking duel disk.

"Here you go, Yuki. These cards are yours."

"You're going to give me all these cards?"

You Xi was taken aback.

He had assumed that at most, Shiro would simply hand over the cards he had taken from Uncle Izayoi and the others, as agreed in the pre-duel wager.

"I don't want my deck to be wiped out, so I'll consider this an extra duel reward."

Zhenshi asked Youxi, "Youxi, do you know what 'the truth of the world' is?"

"Have not heard."

The boy shook his head. This thing sounded very high-tech and sophisticated; how could an ordinary high school student like him possibly know anything about it?

"makes sense."

It was not surprising that Zhen Shi reacted to You Xi.

"In reality, the so-called 'truth of the world' is not that complicated. It is cruel, cold, and absolute. If you ask me... yes, I mean 'the end of the world'."

The end of the world?

"you mean……"

"Heh, so you don't disbelieve me after all."

Seeing that You Xi frowned slightly but did not refute him or show any mockery, Zhen Shi couldn't help but smile slightly.

He continued, “I was fortunate enough to witness it once with the High Priest; the world is about to collapse and be destroyed, and that day is not far off. What we are doing now is merely a reactive response to this influence, like the precursors to an earthquake.”

...a precursor.

The truth is, this news is really not something to laugh about.

Yuki didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't help but be cautious. After all, this was the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

So, perhaps the leader of the "Doomsday Bell" wasn't just spouting nonsense?

"So what you want to see is the end of the world?"

"That's right, I want to witness that moment, to know exactly how that apocalypse will happen. If possible, I'd even like to personally push it forward. Anyway, the world is already in such a terrible state, isn't it? Destroying it wouldn't be a big deal."

He said it indifferently.

You could roughly sense what he had experienced in the past from his calm tone.

Otherwise, unless one is an ambitious individual like Viper, it is unlikely that any normal person would want to voluntarily join a cult organization and even rise to a high position.

However, I don't really intend to continue sharing these things.

It's not just a lack of interest, but also a lack of time.

The eerie blue flames had already greedily clung to his real legs from all sides. In a few moments, he would be devoured, his soul and body consumed, becoming the great "Earthbound God" and the sacrifice for this entire ritual.

Ignoring this truth, he continued to say to Yuki, "I can see that you, Izumi Yuki, will go very far on the path of a duelist. You will probably be able to see the 'truth of the world'. I will not be able to see it in person, but I hope that my deck can witness that moment for me."

"But that's only if you survive this incident—after such a passionate duel with me, you haven't forgotten anything else, have you? Have you forgotten that there's someone important you haven't found yet?"

"!"
