Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

The fourth duelist, named "Antied Duroch," had a physique very similar to his cousin, but he was a true Westerner. From the moment they made eye contact, Youche knew that he was not the person he remembered.

This undoubtedly put his mind at ease after a long period of anxiety.

But Antide's last words caught Youche's attention.

A card that rightfully belonged to him?

Which of his cards originally belonged to him?

The origins of the Dark Magician Hemotti are crystal clear. He had previously followed Malik and then wandered to his side. The origins of the six troublemakers were also thoroughly understood during the Noah incident.

As for the Sleeping Giant Gudu and the Frog Spirits, that's even more impossible; one requires a specific opportunity, and the other is abandoned.

Could it be... that this guy is talking about... an Armored Dragon?!

Yu Che subconsciously glanced at the Duel Disk on his arm.

Since his transmigration, he has always regarded Armed Dragon as his closest companion, and in his view, this card also came with him from the transmigration.

But now that I think about it, when the accident happened, I had so many decks, so why did only this Armed Dragon appear?

Moreover, when the Armed Dragon was first discovered in this world, the card wasn't on me, but rather found on the ground near me by two random children.

Could it be that……

Does this armed dragon really hold some unknown secrets?

Sensing the confusion in its master's heart, the Armed Dragon, a card spirit, slowly flew out and shook its head firmly, denying these conjectures.

Looking in the direction Antid and the others had left, You Che frowned.

He still couldn't guess what that guy was thinking, but one thing was already very clear—Baron, Rafael, and Amelda were the duelists of Jonouchi, Yugi, and Seto Kaiba, respectively, in the original work, and this Antid Dorothy was coming for him!

It was getting late, and with card spirits causing destruction everywhere, the group didn't linger long in the empty and eerie construction building. After retrieving the cards that Muto Sugoroku had stolen, they prepared to return to the card shop.

Before leaving, Yuzuru turned back to check on the two Doma Organization duelists lying on the ground and found two pendants made of special crystals. He put the two pendants away and followed the others back to Yugi Muto's house.

This was not a peaceful night.

Seemingly affected by what happened during the day, everyone slept very restlessly.

Honda, unable to fall asleep, leaned against the wall and passed the time by playing video games. Jonouchi, though asleep, seemed to be plagued by nightmares, his sleep talking filled with childhood traumatic memories.

It started raining again in the chaotic city, though I don't know when it began.

Listening to the sound of raindrops pattering against the skylight, Youche, exhausted both physically and mentally, was in a daze, half-asleep and half-awake. In his hazy dream, he seemed to hear the calls of card spirits...

They said that the world of elves had begun to fall into turmoil.

They say the poor, weak are wandering everywhere.

They said that the weak monsters needed the guidance of guardians.

And their name is "Youyou"...

Chapter 219 One Against Two! Yoyo VS Insects and Dinosaurs!

In the dead of night, a light, visible only to Yuzuru, shone from the Duel Disk beside his pillow.

Opening his eyes groggily, Yu Che slowly sat up and saw that Jonouchi and Honda, who had been tossing and turning in their sleep, were now fast asleep, clearly exhausted. As ordinary people, they could not see the light emitted by the card spirit.

what's the situation?

Which card is it?

Yu Che carefully picked up the Duel Disk, and saw that the card that was faintly glowing inside was the God Card that represented ordinariness—Sleeping Giant Gudu.

Upon closer inspection, the inexplicably emitted light seemed to provide some guidance. When the card was laid flat, its four corners resembled the four directions of a compass, with the light pointing to the northwest being significantly brighter and more dazzling than the other corners.

"Where am I supposed to go?" You Che was a little confused, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

As if hearing Youche's question, Sleeping Giant Gudu flickered a few times in response.

By midnight, the rain had subsided, but the number of card spirits roaming Domino City had increased considerably.

Following the directions indicated by the cards, Yuzuru carefully put on the Duel Disk and stepped out the door. To protect his master's safety, the Dark Magician Hemeroth appeared and closely followed by his side.

"Hemoti, do you know what's going on?" While searching through the narrow, dark alley, Youche asked the card spirit with the highest education.

Holding a staff that resembled a spear, Hemoti shook his head as he cautiously observed his surroundings: "Although this incident is clearly related to the Elven Realm, we will only know the specifics of what happened once we return there."

In the shadows, a demon card sprite spotted Youche's trail, but before it could even peek out, Hemoti waved his wand and sent it flying.

Hermoti's gaze turned cold as he continued, "These elves must have wandered out of the elven realm. Should we capture a few and question them?"

"No, let's go see where Gudu is taking us." The light emanating from the card grew even brighter, and Youche determined that he was not far from the place it was pointing to.

After winding through several streets and alleys, we stopped where the card's light was most dazzling. When Youche looked up, he saw that it was a tofu shop that hadn't been open for a long time.

Suddenly, recalling the dream he had that night and the sounds he heard in it, You Che paused, realizing what he was thinking.

Standing at the entrance, Hermoti used a simple detection spell to check the area, then relaxed his guard slightly and said, "Lord Youche, these are all very weak card spirits."

"Hmm," Youche nodded, as if he had expected this, "How much?"

Hemoti paused for a moment: "At least eight thousand..."

Traveling speed: ? ? ?

He could guess that the tofu shop was hiding that one-star mortal monster, Youyou, but he never imagined that a tofu shop could hide more than eight thousand of them.

The Sleeping Giant Gudu began to flash its light incessantly, as if urging it on.

After confirming that there was no danger inside, You Che strode inside.

"Squeak——————————"

The worm-eaten wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a sweet and fresh scent permeated the dusty workshop. Youzhe pressed the switch on the wall, and sure enough, the light did not turn on. Seeing this, Hemoti made his staff emit light to illuminate the entire room.

As the room was filled with light, strange yet somewhat cute sounds came from the rows of wooden slots on the shelves. The yoyos disguised as tofu blocks turned over one by one, flapped their wings and flew out gently. As they relaxed from their initial wariness, the exclamation mark antennas on their heads turned into question mark shapes.

"Yoyo!! (Alert! Alert!)"

"Yu... (Isn't that the duelist who brought the weak god with him...?)"

"Yu?! (He actually has so many Pokémon under his command?!)"

"Yo-yo~ (It seems the disturbance is also with them, so it looks like we're saved~)"

One by one, tofu-shaped little angels flew out and quickly filled the entire room. Although they were very surprised, they still respected the duelist recognized by Gudu and kept a distance.

Therefore, Hermoti estimated the number to be over eight thousand, but not many appeared in the room. The other Yoyos were still hiding somewhere, watching with a mixture of joy and tension.

"Yo yo yo!!!"

After confirming Youche's identity, hundreds of Youyou simultaneously let out excited cries and bowed in a unique way.

Hermoti explained, "These Yoyo sprites express their emotions through the number of times they call out. If a Yoyo calls out three times in a row, it means they are very excited."

"And this seemingly dance-like movement is actually a unique way for the Youyou clan to worship the Sleeping Giant Gudong."

“Lord Youche, it seems they are convinced that you are the messenger of the Sleeping Giant Gudu.”

"The messenger of Gudong?" You Che was somewhat flattered.

Hemoti nodded: "The approval of Sleeping Giant Gudu is not only a power, but also a mission. From now on, Lord Youche may have to accept some tasks."

Youche gave a thoughtful "hmm," and at the same time looked at Hermoti with some surprise. Although this guy was a dark mage, he was one of the youngest. Usually, when asked many questions, he didn't know the answer, but how come he suddenly understood today?

Turning his head, he saw that Hermoti had somehow acquired a thick magical tome in his arms. He was using magic to search for the information he wanted while translating the complicated magical language inside.

Seeing this, Youche suddenly remembered that ever since he fought alongside Mahad in the Pyramid of Light incident, Hemoti's energy had been growing stronger day by day, and now it was almost at the strongest form of Armed Dragon.

As for the book in his hand, it's unclear whether it was equipment borrowed from Mahad or a spell he learned.

In order to enable Lord Youche to understand the language of the Youyou clan, Hemoti touched his brow with his finger and then gently waved his staff. A thin line of light shone and connected the two. Youche was gradually able to hear some different meanings in the Youyou's cries.

“Yu…” A leading Yuyu stepped forward and respectfully pleaded with Youche, “Yuyu… Yuyu… (Guardian, a powerful and ancient mysterious force has appeared in the Elf World, causing the card elves originally from the Elf Realm to be inexplicably teleported here, and they can’t find their way back…)”

You Che frowned: "So, those elves didn't come to cause trouble on purpose, they were just feeling fear and confusion, right?"

"Yuu! (Wise guardian!)" Yuu, the leader, tilted its body a few times, nodding in this way since it had no neck. "Yuu, Yuu... (After arriving in this world, the order that the elves originally followed no longer exists. The weak elves can only try their best to hide in order to avoid attacks...)"

Another one flew out from behind, its eyes brimming with tears, pleading, "Youyou~ (You are the guardian of the weak, please protect us and take us back~)"

Upon hearing this, Youche turned to Hemo, who was constantly flipping through a magic book, and asked, "Is there any way, Hemo?"

“It’s hard to say,” Hermoti replied seriously. “Each card spirit has a very different way of traveling between dimensions. Powerful spirits can travel back and forth easily by relying on their own power.”

"However, according to records, the Yoyo race has never left the elven world since its birth."

"Their strength is far too weak. Even if they find a way back, even if all eight thousand of them work together, they won't have enough energy."

Are we too weak...?

Youche couldn't help but think of disturbing the six brothers.

Their energy is much stronger than Yoyo's, but a single one cannot exert its full power. Several of them must work together to fight against other cards.

It seems that the only way to accumulate energy for the Yoyos is through duels; this is the most direct method Youche can think of.

With the help of Hermoti's communication magic, Youche and Youyou quickly reached an agreement. They selected the three most powerful ones to join Youche in battle, while the rest transformed into cards and obediently hid in their backpacks.

After subduing nearly ten thousand Yoyo sprites, Sleeping Giant Gudu stopped emitting light, and Youche returned to Yugi Muto's house with a backpack full of stuff.

On the way, while acting as a bodyguard, Hemoti added to Youche like a secretary, "The book also records that the symbol above Youyou's head changes according to her emotions..."

"When Yoyos are extremely angry, their bodies turn crimson red and they unleash extraordinary power. However, most Yoyos have a good temperament and rarely get angry..."

"By the way, Lord Youche, there is one more thing you need to know."

"The number of Yo-yo is astonishing. The group you found today is only a small fraction of their population. According to the records in the book, Yo-yo can probably be found all over the world today..."

Upon hearing this, Youche was taken aback: "All over the world? That's considered few? Then wouldn't there be millions of Yoyos in total?"

Hemoti responded, "The 7.44 million Yoyos are only a record from more than 7,000 years ago in the Elf Calendar. According to the flow of time in the Elf world and their reproduction rate, there are at least a billion Yoyos now."

This enormous number put Youche under immense pressure, but fortunately, Sleeping Giant Gudu didn't seem to want him to protect all of Youyou. However, for a long time to come, he might also have to take on the responsibility of subduing and protecting Youyou and other weak monsters.

Back at the card shop, Youche, wide awake, began adjusting his deck. To help Youyou accumulate energy, he needed to add a few specific cards to the deck.

After the deck was adjusted, the heavy rainy night began to glow faintly.

Looking at the hazy sky, and thinking that there might be many things to do during the day, Youche lay down on the floor and closed his eyes to rest, even though he wasn't sleepy.

Not long after he collapsed, several rustling sounds coming from downstairs caught his attention.
