Yu-Gi-Oh!: From Casual Gamer to Soulful Player

In a deep underground cave somewhere in Egypt.

A huge stone slab is lying flat on the ground.

There are many sunken pits on the stone slab, as if many things were originally placed here, but now only a golden scale remains in these pits.

In front of the stone slab, a man dressed in traditional Egyptian clothing, with thick cloth wrapped around his head, is deep in thought with his eyes closed.

His name is Shadi, full name Shadi Shin, and he is the dimensional guardian of this Netherworld Stone Tablet and the Millennium Artifact.

He belonged to a different branch of the tomb-guarding family than Malik's Ishdar family.

Pegasus's Millennium Eye was given to him by Shadi when he came to Egypt in his early years (forcibly inserted into his eye).

But at that moment, Xia Di sensed an incredibly powerful dark force rushing into the dimension.

This dark power was in no way weaker than the power of the evil god suppressed within the Netherworld stone tablet before him.

"Demon God!"

Upon sensing this, Xia Di immediately set off for the dimensional land that had been breached.

But just as Xia Di was about to stand up, he discovered that the Millennium Artifact he had been holding in his hand—the Millennium Key—had disappeared!

Xia Di was surprised, but then he laughed.

Because Xia Di knew that the Millennium Key had finally found its master on its own!

These ancient artifacts possess their own consciousness, and each time they choose a master, it is their own decision.

Although Shadi guards the Millennium Artifacts and can borrow their power, he can only communicate with them and is not their master.

After losing the Millennium Key, Shadi's body suddenly began to become ethereal.

This is because Shadi had already died long ago.

When the Wheel of Wisdom chose its own master and awakened the hidden consciousness within, Shadi had already died.

The reason why Shadi was able to have a physical form before was because after being weighed by the Millennium Scales, it was confirmed that Shadi was without desire and kind. Only then could he resist the power absorbed by the underworld and use the power of the Millennium Key to make the intangible tangible and continue to exist in this world.

Now, the Millennium Key has found its owner and left!

Shadi could no longer maintain her human form.

Now he is just a ghost that can remain in the present world.

Moreover, he cannot stray too far from the Scales of the Millennium, otherwise the allure of the Underworld will become irresistible to him.

This is so sudden!

"Lord Shadi, dinner is ready!" A child adopted by Shadi, who was to be groomed to become the guardian priest in the future, walked in.

But the child named Blue God could not find Shadi.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a single white feather floating above the stone slab, refusing to fall for a long time.

……

The seven ancient artifacts each have their own functions.

In ancient Egypt, sinners were first examined using the Millennium Eye to determine if a monster had been born inside them.

If so, the Millennium Scepter would be used to extract the monster from the criminal and take control of it.

Finally, the Millennium Key was used to seal the monster inside the stone slab.

Therefore, the sealing power of the Millennium Key is far more suitable for printing cards than the Millennium Eye.

Although Exodia was sealed much earlier than the creation of the Millennium Items, as a "sealed" monster, Exodia was naturally completely countered by the Millennium Key.

Therefore, Ekuzodia has already suffered some damage simply from being touched by Hyoga with the Millennium Key.

But Ecuzodia showed no anger or fear; instead, she was overjoyed.

Conversely, the thousand-year key that holds the seal can truly release him completely from the seal.

"Kid, you've really surprised me! To be chosen by the Millennium Artifact and become a Dimensional Guardian just like that!"

"But you're still too green!"

Another inverted pentagram magic circle appeared in the air, and Eczodia's right hand was extended.

With his left and right hands freed, Ecuzodia could unleash a much greater amount of power.

"The raging fire of wrath!"

Ekuzodi clasped his hands together, and a ball of flame, seemingly capable of destroying everything, burst into flame.

Even before the powerful force was unleashed, Hyoga could already feel his hair starting to curl.

No, we can't let it be released.

The moment the Millennium Key appeared, it stuffed a whole host of knowledge into Hyoga's head.

If Hyoga hadn't just acquired the magical knowledge of the Water Mage, he probably wouldn't have understood even a small part of it.

Although he only understands three-three-four-four now, it is enough for Hyoga to unleash the power of the Millennium Key!

"A thousand-year seal!"

A powerful life force transformed into a six-pointed star magic circle in front of the glacier.

Light, darkness, earth, fire, feng shui!

The magic circle, possessing all six attributes, directly suppressed Eczodia's power, about to push him back into darkness.

But it's not that easy!

"This sealing power is insufficient!"

Eczodia's power became even more ferocious, and he actually used the power of the inverted pentagram to push the hexagram back.

Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!

Almost there! Hang in there!

Hyoga kept encouraging himself, and two figures appeared behind him.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Demon Lizard Yihaobai Fight.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's power of light is an attribute that Eczodia has not yet mastered, and it can now help Hyoga suppress Eczodia.

Beidou was created specifically to help Hyoga.

He didn't unwisely attack Ekuzodia... Even though he was water-elemental, getting close to that ball of flame would inevitably result in him being completely incinerated in an instant.

Beidou simply stood behind Hyoga, transferring his Pokémon power to Hyoga as before.

However, even that is still not enough.

That "raging fire" continues to grow.

"Glacier boy..."

Another weak voice sounded, and a hand touched Hyoga's back.

After waking up and seeing the current situation, Pegasus, despite his weakened state, poured the rest of his soul and the power of the Millennium Eye into Hyoga's body.

The power of two Millennium Items...

If they were both at their peak, they should be able to suppress Ekuzodia when he emerges with his head and hands.

However, Hyoga and Pegasus currently lack sufficient souls, and Hyoga is still unable to use the power of the Millennium Key...

As a result, the hexagram was gradually pushed back.

The flames were about to erupt, and the radiated heat had already reached Ice River and the others.

Pegasus, still recovering from his defeat, was shaken by what he saw.

But at this moment, Hyoga was calmer than ever before, and believed in his victory.

"Don't worry, Pegasus! The aid is on its way! Victory will surely be ours!"

Pegasus, whose entire body was burning from the flames, was completely baffled as to why Hyoga could remain so calm!

Hyoga's answer was simple: "Just like that Blue-Eyes White Dragon that descended from the sky during our battle... when the time comes, someone will help us!"

Pegasus still couldn't understand.

But the time that Hyoga spoke of has already arrived!

Because at that very moment, half of Eczodia's power vanished!

Ecuzodia was enraged!

"Who is it?"

"Who summoned me at this time?!"

Hyoga's smile was now completely uncontrollable!

Who else could it be?

Of course, it's the beloved Pharaoh!
