Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

The shadowy figure of the Dark Witch appeared from the side, arms crossed, and began to comment on herself.

Ever since Yuki obtained this item from Kaiba Sojin, the Black Witch's legendary thief instincts have been awakened. She can't wait to find and steal all the Millennium Artifacts.

Unfortunately, she couldn't take what You Xi had, and she didn't know where the other artifacts were. She could only watch enviously, which was pure torture.

"So, this is one of the seven Millennium Items in Xiaoxi's building block set, on par with the Millennium Eye and Millennium Jewelry?"

Seeing You Xi nod, Xing Yewu looked expectantly at the ornaments in the golden box.

"So, this building block should also have a very powerful effect, right?"

If that's true, then Xiaoxi's brother is indeed very generous and takes good care of his younger brother. It's a good thing that he got such a powerful item.

"Uh... does it count as a divination by spirits?"

However, upon hearing Xingyewu's question, Youxi's expression became awkward.

"what?"

Xing Yewu was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

"Actually, I'm not quite sure what kind of abilities the Millennium Puzzle has."

You Xi scratched his head and honestly confessed, "I knew it. It can house a soul and switch between the holder and the housed soul when needed. This trick would be very effective against the Millennium Eye."

In fact, this is the core selling point of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM.

The anime uses the concept of a backstabber to tell the story in a dual-protagonist format. The outwardly prominent protagonist, Yugi, takes on the role of the main character, handling daily antics and serving as the story's backbone, while the true protagonist, Ottoman, silently supports Yugi from behind. Because of this, the Millennium Puzzle itself doesn't exhibit many other unique characteristics.

It doesn't have the same special and useful abilities as other ancient artifacts.

"Ah, wait a minute, it's not that there aren't any."

Thinking about the animation, Yu Xi remembered something else.

"Besides the ability to exchange souls and activate the Dark Game like other Millennium Items, it is said that if you can successfully assemble the Millennium Puzzle from its parts, it can grant you one wish."

Your wish will come true!?

"Isn't that incredibly strong!"

Xingyewu's eyes lit up, and her gaze towards the building block parts began to align with that of the Black Witch: "Xiaoxi, you absolutely can't miss this opportunity. You must seize it and put this building block together as soon as possible. Do you want us to help you? The three of us working together should be faster, right?"

"No."

As soon as Hoshino Mai's suggestion was uttered, it was rejected by Izayoi Yuki.

"Regardless of whether the wish-granting aspect is true or not, since only the person who completes the assembly can have their wish granted, I think it probably requires someone to assemble it from start to finish on their own. Otherwise, who will get the credit after it's assembled? So let Yu Xi do it herself."

"Oh, that's true."

Izayoi Yuki's words were logically sound and reasonable, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Xingyewu smiled at Youxi and said, "Well then, Xiaoxi, keep up the good work! Anyway, we can't go out freely these days, so why don't you try to put the building blocks together during this time?"

"Right on my mind."

Even without the girls saying anything, Yuki was already planning to do it.

He had bought and assembled Konami's Millennium Bricks before, so how could he not be excited and looking forward to assembling the real thing now that he had the chance?

However, it is said that it took my cousin about seven years to build his first set of building blocks.

I just hope it won't take him that long to succeed...

Thinking this, while Xingye Wu was making a late-night snack in the small kitchen that came with the room, Youxi also started her building block project under the light.

Only after he got the hang of it did he finally understand why the watch took so long.

Unlike Konami toys, the real Millennium Blocks have more parts, and can be assembled into different shapes depending on the method of assembly.

That is to say, he already knew what the Millennium Puzzle would actually look like when it was assembled, otherwise he would have been led astray long ago.

Even so, it took Youxi two full days to gradually get things on track.

then--

"Okay, that's done."

With a gentle push, the last piece, engraved with the Eye of Horus, was inserted into the only gap, and the Millennium Puzzle was instantly complete.

The inverted triangular pyramid, resembling a work of art, shone brightly before You Xi, radiating an extraordinary magic.

After two days of hard work, You Xi finally reaped the rewards, and she couldn't hide her excitement, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

And he did not forget what he wanted to do.

"If this Millennium Puzzle could really grant my wish, then..."

Holding the ancient building blocks in his hands, You Xi silently prayed.

I hope to find my missing brother and bring him back safely. Please, Millennium Puzzle.

These words did not come out of Yuki's mouth, but as if hearing Yuki's prayer, the Millennium Puzzle's eyes suddenly shone with light, engulfing Yuki's vision.

Chapter 244 The Second God's Approval

"This is……!"

When Yu Xi placed the last piece into the only gap in the Millennium Puzzle, like the finishing touch on a masterpiece, the moment it released light from the Millennium Puzzle, the commotion also startled others.

The slightly dark-skinned girl suddenly opened her eyes, looking in surprise and uncertainty in the direction of the Magic Chef Inn. She then immediately rushed to the mansion of the Seahorse Company.

The Seahorse Company's residence was decorated in a Western style. In the study filled with the fragrance of ink, she met the monarch she served.

Haima Cangren is taking a rare day off today, leisurely enjoying his treasured tea while reading a mystery novel at home.

Upon seeing the girl arrive, Kaiba Soto put down the book he was reading, which he had only half-finished.

"What's wrong, Eliza?"

"Lord Cangren, just now, the Millennium Jewelry sensed something was wrong."

Knowing that Kaiba Soujin's time was precious and he dared not waste a moment, Eliza, who was kneeling on the ground, pulled open her collar and revealed the golden collar around her neck: "That feeling is very similar to the resonance between the Millennium Items. I'm afraid it's because of that boy named Izumi Yuuki. He may have finished assembling the Millennium Puzzle."

"Yeah."

Kaiba Soto looked somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"This is much faster than I expected."

Based on the excavated relics, they originally expected that even if the Millennium Blocks could be assembled, it would take at least several months or even a year. However, Youxi succeeded in just two days.

"It seems that someone so highly regarded by our ancestor is no ordinary person, although I already knew that when I saw him use the 'Sky Dragon of Osiris'."

Kaiba Sōjin narrowed his eyes slightly; it was a good thing that Izumi Yūki could assemble the building blocks so quickly.

This will allow his plan to proceed more quickly.

"Sir Ao Ren."

Eliza asked, "Should we send someone to retrieve the Millennium Puzzle? I can do that."

"That's not necessary."

Kaiba Sojin rejected Eliza's proposal without even thinking.

“Now that Izumi Yuki is quite famous, her every move attracts a lot of attention. We don’t need to do anything unnecessary and arouse unnecessary suspicion at this time. You know, the Public Security Bureau is watching us very closely. Before the plan officially begins, we shouldn’t and can’t create any complications.”

Despite the swift disassociation during the Duel Island incident, and even having another disciple lead a group to proactively eliminate cult strongholds to eradicate any potential evidence, the D Alliance is not a paper tiger that can be easily fooled.

After obtaining intelligence from Logan, Donnie and his team of special agents have been harassing him a lot these days, and the major assets and activities of Seahorse Corporation have been subject to various overt and covert investigations.

Furthermore, Izumi Yuki had just met with him a few days ago... If he caused trouble at this critical juncture, it would be like treating the D Alliance like fools.

Even if you have extensive connections within the D Alliance and are confident in handling things, it will still unnecessarily increase the risk of exposure.

"It was my recklessness and ignorance."

Eliza lowered her head in shame. Kaiba Sojin said calmly, "It's nothing. You're just as loyal as I am. We need to be patient, Eliza. Anyway, it won't be long before our plan is executed. Once that happens, retrieving the Millennium Puzzle will be a piece of cake. Speaking of which, has your vision of the future changed?"

"not at all."

Eliza shook her head: "The future foreseen by the Millennium Jewelry remains unchanged. Lord Cangren will surely achieve your goal."

"That's good."

Seahorse Cangren nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and walked to the study window, looking towards the distant horizon.

……

"Well, this is..."

The light emanating from the Millennium Puzzle was so intense that Yu Xi couldn't help but close her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself no longer in his room at the Magic Chef's Inn.

Instead, it was in an ancient and solemn temple, with stone slabs on the walls depicting many dueling monsters. Upon discovering Yuki's arrival, numerous spirits emerged from the colorful slabs, greeting Yuki in their own unique ways.

"Owner!"

"Mana?"

The black magician's spirit descended from the sky, calling out "Master!"

Yu Xi had no choice but to quickly reach out and hug the latter, and as he was enveloped in her warm embrace, he almost fell backward due to the force of inertia. He was surprised as the black magician girl held him by the neck, asking, "Did I come in again?"

You Xi was very familiar with the surroundings; it was the Mind Room he had visited once before.

"Congratulations, Yuki, you've taken another step forward on your path to becoming a duelist."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in You Xi's ear.

His voice was calm and gentle, reminiscent of Kazama Shunsuke. Yu Xi had heard it when she last visited the Mind Room, and how could she forget it so soon?

You Xi suddenly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a king with a thousand-year-old building block hanging in front of his chest and hair as bright as stars smiling at him.

"Mr. Atum?"

Surprised, Yu Xi quickly put the black magic girl down, and the latter tactfully stepped aside so as not to disturb their conversation.

"Why are you here?"

"Because you completed the Millennium Puzzle."

Atum grasped the end of the Millennium Puzzle with one hand and answered Yu Xi's question with a smile.
