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

"Do you know what you're saying, Izumi Yuuki?!"

"I know!"

You Xi nodded; he certainly understood how vicious the trap he was using was.

"Drawing cards is the crucial action connecting duelists and their decks. No matter how powerful a duelist is, if they can't draw cards, maintaining resource replenishment becomes impossible. The game is over, Amagi-senpai."

"You have zero cards in your hand, only one monster on the field, 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon,' and no usable resources in your graveyard. 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon' is countered by 'Meteor Dragon.' The moment you can't draw any more cards, it's clear you can't break the deadlock. The outcome... is decided!"

The outcome has been decided?

Yes, it has been separated.

Some might think this way of winning isn't honorable, but Youxi never cares. A card is a card; there's no good or bad. Only those who use each card effectively deserve to win.

This is something a true duelist should do.

"My turn is over. Your turn, Amagi-senpai."

"...My turn, and then...the turn ends."

Amagi Meito stared intently at his opponent this time: "I underestimated you, Izumi Yuuki. Well done, take the victory you deserve."

"My honor, my turn, draw a card!"

Yuki glanced at the card he had drawn and played: "Activate the Spell Card: 'Monster Resurrection', discard 1 card from your hand, and return 1 monster from your Graveyard to your hand. Then activate the effect of 'Ragnaros the Rising Sun - Sphere,' release myself, and descend once more! 'Ragnaros the Rising Sun'!"

—After that, the blazing light of the sun filled the entire temple.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Chapter 320 The Final Opponent

"Oh, it's off?"

—In the Temple of the Overwhelming God, the blonde girl lowered her head slightly and noticed that the silver handcuffs binding her to the pillars suddenly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Xingye Wu, who was initially depressed and dejected because she was trapped, was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she became excited.

"Hehe, it seems like things are going well for Xiaoxi. Senior Tiancheng should have been defeated by now."

"How can it be."

But upon hearing the girl's words, another person in the temple had a different opinion.

The young man with short, dark blue hair leaned against another pillar not far from Xingye Wu and said categorically, "Tenjou Naruto is a monster. Even the combined strength of me and Wu couldn't defeat him, so it's even more impossible for anyone else to beat him."

Even now, Himi-ga can't forget everything from the duel that just happened.

Logically speaking, in a two-on-one situation... regardless of the number of people or the card difference, he and Xingyewu should have a greater advantage and a better chance of winning. However, the development and outcome of the entire duel were completely different from what was expected.

While not exactly a complete rout, Amagi Naruto still used his overwhelming strength to kill both of them in the shortest amount of time.

Himi Ya had complete confidence in his own strength, believing himself to be even stronger than Sigurd of the Tri-God deck. And to protect Hoshino Mai and demonstrate his brotherly authority, he had given his all in that duel.

Even so, he still ended up like this, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. Doesn't this mean that he is not capable enough to protect his sister who he has regained?

In his extreme resentment, Himeya experienced firsthand what it meant to be a king of the younger generation through his own crushing defeat.

The rumors that Amagi Naruto was invincible among his peers were indeed not unfounded.

Therefore, Hiyomi Kiba didn't believe that anyone in this Four Heavens Tower could defeat Amagi Naruto, that overpowered guy. If he really had to find someone, it would probably only be that guy's teacher, Kaiba Sōjin, who had given him an unfathomable feeling from the very beginning.

As for the manager of the Four Heavens Tower, the blue-haired little girl with the title of Great Sage of Crystallization.

If she were someone to rely on, this wouldn't have happened today.

"You're wrong, Himi-senpai."

But the blonde girl disagreed with Hibiki's idea and unconsciously uttered a line similar to Yuuki's: "Just because we lost doesn't mean Yuuki will repeat the same mistake. A duel isn't about size; there's never an equal relationship between the two."

"Xiao Xi must have defeated Amagi Naruto. If not, how do you explain why our duel penalties were lifted?"

Although the duel with Amagi Meito was a dark duel, it wasn't a life-or-death feud. Amagi Meito wasn't a bloodthirsty person; he merely ensured that the two of them were temporarily unable to cause trouble.

However, unless one suffers the consequences of their own actions or dies a complete death, the punishments in the Dark Games are generally linked to the caster.

When Naruto was defeated, the game punishment he had imposed on Hoshino and the others was lifted.

This, in turn, proves Amagi Naruto's defeat.

Izayoi Yuki's strength was very clear to Hoshinobu; at most, it was comparable to her own. So, who defeated Amagi Naruto? Did she even need to ask?

"Tsk, you actually believe that guy."

Seeing Xing Yewu speaking with such enthusiasm and unwavering certainty, Bing Jianya couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling a pang of jealousy towards the boy he had met once before.

"Because that's Xiao Xi."

Hoshino Mai laughed matter-of-factly, "You doubt it because you haven't seen Nozomi's duel with your own eyes, but Nozomi has created miracles more than once, and this time will definitely be the same—no matter how strong the enemy is, Nozomi will not lose."

Let's just say it is.

Himi didn't intend to dwell on this matter any further. It was easy to verify whether Izumi Yuuki had defeated Amagi Naruto.

Compared to this...

"By the way, Mai, you should call me brother, not some Himi-senpai. I think I've already told you about your background, haven't I?"

Bingjian Ya earnestly corrected Xingye Wu's mistake in addressing herself.

Xingye Wu looked troubled.

"Hmm, even if you say that, I don't really feel it."

She crossed her arms over her chest, her head throbbing, and said, "What are you saying all of a sudden? I'm your long-lost sister, or some one of the few remaining descendants of the Seven Stars... Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"I wouldn't make such a stupid mistake."

Bingjian Ya was very dissatisfied with Xingye Wu's suspicion: "One of the most important characteristics of the Seven Star Remnants is their ability to use a power called [Chaos Ascension]. And those who can master over a hundred 'No.' are extremely rare even within the clan. You possess 'No. 103' and the 'Sword of the Seven Emperors,' plus your experience of being kidnapped as a child—all of this combined, how could you not be my sister!"

Speaking of this, Himeya couldn't help but recall that painful past.

The accident more than a decade ago was a huge turning point that changed the lives of him and his parents.

What should have been a happy day for the whole family to travel to a big city next door during the holiday turned into a nightmare when they were targeted by human traffickers. In the blink of an eye, their little sister, who was not even a few years old, had disappeared.

From that day on, endless pain and regret descended upon their family, tormenting everyone.

That's why Kiba left the village where he grew up and became a Duelist Hunter, living in the gray area, all in the hope of one day finding his sister and reuniting his family.

This is his responsibility as the eldest son and elder brother in the family.

“Listen, Wu. You may not be able to accept it right now, but everything I’m saying is true, there’s not a single lie in it. If you don’t believe me, you can go and get a blood test done with me, and then you’ll understand everything.”

"I didn't say I didn't believe it..."

Xingye Wu hesitated and felt reluctant as she looked at Bing Jianya's sincere expression.

"Hmm... alright. Since you've brought it up this far, let's leave it at that for now. But let's make this clear beforehand: if we get the wrong person, I won't take responsibility."

"no problem."

Bingjianya replied without hesitation, "I will apologize to you then, and I will definitely not bother you again."

Xingyewu waved her hands repeatedly.

"There's no need for apologies or anything like that. It would be a lie to say I have absolutely no interest in this matter. However... I have something more important to me right now."

As she spoke, Xingye Wu stretched her body, confirming that her strength and feeling had recovered—

"Now, let's go find Xiaoxi and the others. The final battle is about to begin."

……

"The temple contains a passage leading to the final sealing site."

—Inside the Temple of Fusion.

Amagi Naruto slowly explained the mysteries of this temple.

Because of the duel penalty, he temporarily lost the ability to continue fighting after his defeat, so he readily told Yuki everything, just as he had when he told her about the [Fragment of Creation].

"Even if I didn't say it, you probably already knew this information from that young sage. The four temples are interconnected to some extent, which is why I was able to come here."

"And once all four seals of the temple are broken, the final seal will be revealed. The teacher is probably there now; the seal of the mere Pendulum Temple cannot possibly stop the teacher."

"Of course, you are the same, Izumi Yuuki. Everything you are doing now is a meaningless struggle."

Yuki remained unmoved by Amagi Naruto's words.

"Whether it's meaningless or not, I think we can only know after trying it. Besides, aren't you guys doing this kind of 'meaningless' thing too, Senior Amagi?"

"According to Miss Eliza, that overlord is a formidable enemy that inspires despair, but you don't intend to surrender before the battle even begins, do you?"

"...Hmph, I didn't realize you were so quick-witted."

Amagi Naruto glanced at Elizabeth, then said, "Then go ahead, Izumi Yuuki. You'll see what real high walls are like."

"That really is something to look forward to. Miss Bell, Mana, let's go."

After greeting the Duel Spirits, who were invisible to ordinary people, and bidding farewell to Amagi Naruto and the other two, Yuki walked deeper into the temple.

Watching Yuki's disappearing figure, Eliza asked Amagi Naruto, "Aren't we going to follow them, Naruto-sama? We have an obligation to witness what happens next."

“Go if you want to.” Amagi Naruto shook his head. “I’ve disgraced my teacher so much, I don’t have the right to see him now.”

"Lord Naruto's standards for himself remain as high as ever, even though Lord Aoto wouldn't blame you."

"It has nothing to do with what the teacher thinks, it's just my own will."

Amagi Meito said expressionlessly, "In the end, it will definitely be the teacher's victory anyway, so there's no difference whether you watch or not. Do you really think that Izumi Yuuki can beat the teacher?"

"I don't know."
