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

Nothing unusual or strange happened; the Millennium Block merely flickered for a moment, and then everything returned to calm.

"Game... Has he disappeared?!" Jonouchi asked hurriedly.

Xingzi, her eyes red, awaited the answer.

Yugi looked at Yugi Muto, who was clutching the Millennium Puzzle to his chest, frowning and muttering, "Gone...gone..."

Although we were prepared, a strong sense of disappointment still welled up in everyone's hearts the moment they heard the news.

Everything was emptier than I had imagined.

Is this how the final farewell game is supposed to be—completely silent and unnoticed...?

But perhaps, this is the destiny that was subtly predetermined...

Just as everyone's spirits were low, a ghost-like man slowly emerged from the wall of the tomb, holding in his hand a key-shaped artifact from millennia past!

"You are... Xia Da?!" Yugi Muto exclaimed in surprise. "The mysterious person who appeared in Duel Kingdom?"

The mysterious man, dressed in white and wearing a turban, nodded: "Friends of the Pharaoh, are you willing to complete this final dark game with the Pharaoh?"

Everyone was stunned.

Xia Da slowly said, "What the Pharaoh is going to now is not the real three thousand years, but a reflection woven from lost memories and present memories."

"In other words, because you have appeared in the Pharaoh's life, what he is seeing now is not the complete and true history."

"Perhaps, in the fantasy world that the Pharaoh is heading to, there will be projections of all of you."

These words jolted You Che out of his reverie.

and so……

So, in the anime, those priests who look extremely similar to Seto Kaiba, Isis, Rishid, and Sugoroku Muto aren't actually similar in the true sense? It's just that these people exist in Yugi's memories, so they become his images within that memory world?

The real priests in history may not have looked like that. Perhaps only Seto Kaiba and Seth have a past life and present life relationship, and the appearances of the others are just an interweaving of past and present memories?

"Then what do you mean by 'The Final Dark Game'?!" Mai Kongque asked hurriedly.

Xia Da said, "This is a duel that should have been decided three thousand years ago, but due to some special reasons, this dark game has been left until now."

"If you want to know the cause and effect, you must go with the Pharaoh to that reflected fantasy world."

"However, you will also face together a terrifying enemy that has been sleeping for three thousand years!"

"Terrible... an enemy?!" Jonouchi gritted his teeth. "So, Yugi is in danger, right?!"

“If that’s the case, then we should go find another version of ourselves!” Yugi Muto’s eyes changed from blank and sad to resolute.

Youche felt his heart pounding at that moment.

like……

Everything will turn out differently than expected!

Xia Da said that what Wang Yang went to was a reflection woven together by memories of his past life and his present life.

But the world has also undergone many changes because of my existence!

In other words, the adventures that Yugi will experience will differ from those in the original story...

Even if you know everything about the anime, you might still be unable to predict how things will develop!

Seeing the determined looks in everyone's eyes, Xia Da stopped talking and simply raised the Millennium Key. A bright light shone, and everyone's consciousness was also transmitted into that mysterious space.

After everyone collapsed in the tomb, Bakura Ryo emerged from the shadows with a wicked grin. He came to the Millennium Stone Slab, activated the power of the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, and laughed maniacally as he was swept into the vortex leading to another world.

Hahahahahaha!!!

"Whether you come or not is fine too~"

"Everyone in this world will eventually die anyway; it's just a matter of who dies first and who dies later!"

"Come, Pharaoh!"

"Let's begin our final showdown!!"

"Dark RPG game!! Begin!!!"

Chapter 292 The Robin Hood, the Gambler, and the Elf

A dazzling golden light, followed by endless darkness.

When Wang Yang could see his surroundings again, he was already sitting down at a table.

This is a rectangular table made of yellow sand, with its edges bulging like walls, and in the middle is a sand tray filled with countless grains of sand...

Wang Yang stared blankly at the scene before him. In this pitch-black world, there was nothing but the table, and there were no markings or words on the table. He was completely unable to obtain any information from it.

"This... is this my memory from three thousand years ago...?"

Wang Yang frowned. He decided to go and find it himself, but just as he stood up, his foot suddenly slipped, and countless grains of sand fell downwards, causing him to fall back into the chair.

At that moment, he was shocked to discover that in this pitch-black, boundless space, his activity area consisted of only a platform of about one square meter. If he took one step outward, he would fall into an invincible abyss.

The astute King immediately became alert. He looked back at the sand table and muttered to himself:

"Bound...like the Dark Duel, unable to leave its original position..."

"It seems..."

"This is also a game of darkness!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thick black energy condensed into a golden disc opposite him, with several slightly swaying pointers hanging around the edge, surrounding the ancient eye at the center.

"A thousand-year wisdom wheel?!" Wang Yang's eyes widened.

"Hehehe~ That's right~" Bakura's wicked laughter gradually spread out as he slowly appeared and sat down opposite Yugi. "Pharaoh, you're right~"

"This is our final showdown~"

"A dark RPG game!!"

Wang Yang gritted his teeth and asked with a serious expression, "This should have been my world of memories, why! Why did it turn into this dark game?!"

Bakura Ryo replied with a cold laugh, "Looks like you don't know yet? The Nameless Pharaoh~"

"Three thousand years ago, a demon king awoke from his slumber and attempted to destroy the world!"

"Back then, because you were powerless to fight against him, you erased your name and used the Millennium Artifact to seal yourself and that Demon King away, and they remain sealed away until now!!"

"The inscription on the thousand-year-old stone slab is not only your destiny, but also the seal of that demon king!!"

"The moment you initiate this ritual, this duel spanning three thousand years will officially begin!!!"

"Demon King..." Wang Yang's eyes were icy cold. "So that's how it is. You evil creature, you're the Demon King's messenger! I don't believe that someone as despicable and dark as you possesses such powerful magic!!"

Bakura sneered, "The nameless Pharaoh~"

"Define my existence however you like~"

"After all, it was because of the Pharaoh that I became like this!!"

"I don't want to say any more boring nonsense!!"

"Come on!! Let this dark game begin!!!"

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and the sand table on the table rapidly evolved, gradually forming mountains, rivers, a royal city, and even lifelike inhabitants... At the same time, two sets of dice appeared in front of the two of them.

These dice are arranged in order of the number of faces: twenty, twelve, ten, eight, six, and four. There are at least two of each type of die.

After the sand table was generated, a grayish-white mist appeared, obscuring part of the scene. At the same time, the dice mysteriously flew into the air and hovered beside King and Bakura.

Wang Yang became serious. He crossed his arms and asked in a cold voice with absolute confidence, "Shall we begin? Every dark game has rules. As the master of this dark game, you shall begin to explain the rules!"

However, Bakura Ryo shrugged and sneered, "No, no, no, I am not the master. You, as the Pharaoh, are the master of this game."

"What?!" Wang Yang's gaze turned cold.

Bakura Ryo continued laughing: "You know D&D, right? It's a tabletop role-playing game that's still incredibly popular today. One of your friends, Otogi Ryuji, drew inspiration for his Dungeon Dice game from this game~"

Wang Yang said, "I know, so this dark game is played according to the rules of D&D?"

“Similar, but not exactly the same~” Bakura sneered, “In D&D games, there is a player who acts as the GM, that is, the lord of the castle, and he will lead the entire game.”

"However, in this game, even though you are the GM, you are still a player in the game."

"In this dark game that evolved from events three thousand years ago, you and I each have our own unique goals for victory."

"If we can meet the conditions, we can win this game!"

Wang Yang frowned.

Clearly, the guy on the other end was well aware of his purpose.

But he himself... still knew nothing.

Is it about finding lost memories and a name?

Or should we stop this guy and destroy that legendary monster?!

Bakura saw through the king's thoughts, so he said with a smile, "Don't feel it's unfair, Pharaoh."

"Although I knew my goal from the beginning, I had pitifully few resources and influence."

"As the lord of the royal city, although you don't know how to win yet, you have an absolute advantage in resources!"

"Even a complete newbie to the game should know that as long as you find and kill me, the victory objective doesn't matter."

What Bakura said is unreasonable.

Wang Yang looked at the sand table in front of him again. The entire map was divided into two sides: one side was a sparsely populated wilderness, and the other side was a prosperous and wealthy royal city. Bakura was closest to the wilderness, while he was very close to the royal city.

The fog shrouding the sand table had a very regular distribution, and all that could be seen was the jurisdiction of the royal city and the places guarded by soldiers.

As for what Bakura could see, he wasn't sure.

Because this mist, woven from dark energy, may appear differently to different people.

This dark game is about to begin, and Wang Yang is actively thinking of countermeasures.

He was very familiar with D&D, and after Bakura's explanation, he understood the rules of the game.

As the GM, or city lord, you will face the challenge posed by Bakura. Besides eliminating each other, both sides can achieve victory by completing their respective ultimate goals!

That guy is right; generally speaking, the game is fairly fair.
