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

"But I didn't feel that way in other scenarios."

"So I'm certain that another version of myself has been to this place, and some of his memories must be sealed here!!"

The people in the city were stunned.

With complete trust, Kong Que Wu picked up the package from the ground and said, "In that case, let's go and find out! Finding the name of another game is very important, and so is finding the memories of another game."

Without delay, the three of them immediately set off into the depths of the cave.

Since it's currently impossible to continue exploring the Valley of the King's Long Sleep, finding any available memory fragments is the best option.

The sound of cautious footsteps echoed through the narrow valley, and the further in they went, the more piles of guards' bones appeared.

Finally, they arrived at a mysterious and ancient giant cave. Below the cave was a bottomless abyss, with only a two-meter-wide stone bridge leading to the opposite cliff. On the wide cliff, five coffins were placed side by side, and the wall above each coffin was painted with a colorful mural.

The three of them carefully crossed the stone bridge, fortunately without any traps or mechanisms.

As they stood before the five coffins, a dreamlike white light shone forth, dazzling the three of them. Then, the light transformed into a scroll, containing a portion of the king's memories!

The rhythmic light constantly shifted and changed, like a movie playing, recounting what had happened here before.

Through the golden light, the three saw the young King Yu following the late king step by step into the cave...

Chapter 302 The Name of God! Osiris, the Sky Dragon!

In the cave filled with piles of white bones, young Wang Yang followed his father step by step into the depths.

The late king gripped the torch tightly, his steps heavy yet resolute. Wang Yang, unaware of what was about to happen, felt only fear and wiped away his tears.

"Father...I don't want to go..."

The late king's voice echoed in the cave: "As the successor to the Pharaoh, you cannot say such things."

The late king's voice trembled and shuddered, seemingly tinged with fear, yet he strode forward, leaving the young king to follow closely behind.

Before long, a faint light appeared, and the two had arrived at the temple in the cave.

Wang Yang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but when he saw the bottomless abyss and the narrow bridge in front of him, he couldn't help but cry again: "Father... but I really don't want to go..."

"No, let's go." The late king commanded firmly, quickening his pace.

The eerie temple frightened Wang Yang, and he quickly ran after his father.

But just as he stepped onto the stone bridge, a crashing sound came from beneath his feet. Due to the passage of time, some of the stones had become cracked, and Wang Yang's foot slipped. Fortunately, he had received martial arts training since childhood, and he managed to grab the edge of the stone bridge, hanging precariously above the abyss.

Taken aback, King Yang gasped for breath. He looked at his father with a wronged expression, but the late king simply stopped and did not reach out to help him.

A look of sadness crossed Wang Yang's eyes. He knew that as the successor to the Pharaoh, he needed courage and perseverance far beyond that of ordinary people. His father would not lift him up; he could only rely on his own strength.

Young Wang Yang used his arms to push himself up and climb back onto the stone bridge.

The late king turned around and continued walking toward the temple and the five coffins beneath the murals. King Yang swallowed hard and jogged to keep up.

"The souls of our ancestors,"

"I have committed an irreparable crime."

Arriving before the stone coffin of his ancestor, the late king knelt down heavily, speaking in words that the king could not understand at the time, tears streaming down his face.

"This millennium-old building block..."

"No, let the blame for creating the seven Millennium Artifacts fall on me!"

The late king bowed down and kowtowed to the ground, tears falling into the shadows reflected in the lamplight. The young King Yang watched this scene in astonishment and confusion.

"Please... protect my son."

"Let no disaster occur..."

"I'll bear all the hardships and difficulties myself!"

In the dim temple, Wang Yang looked at his usually noble father in such a humble state, and his heart ached. He didn't know what had happened, nor why his father had done this or said these words. Just as he was about to help his father up from the ground, a series of thunderous roars suddenly echoed through the cave!

The bursts of lightning startled the king, and bolts of lightning struck his aged back repeatedly. With each strike, his body trembled violently, but he gritted his teeth and kept repeating in a low voice:

"All the hardships and difficulties..."

"I'll take full responsibility for it all!!"

The mesmerizing light gradually dissipated amidst the flashing lightning. This fragment of memory was very brief, but it allowed Yugi Muto and his companions to vaguely perceive some clues.

"Is the father of another game... atonement?" Jonouchi asked, looking at the slowly fading light.

Peacock Dance nodded: "It seems so."

"But if the late king knew that the Millennium Artifact would awaken the sleeping Demon King, why did he still do it?" Jonouchi asked, puzzled.

Yugi Muto explained with absolute certainty, "No, this was absolutely not the late king's original intention!"

“From the records in the royal library, it is clear that the late king was a benevolent monarch.”

"The purpose of creating the millennium artifact was to defend against invading foreign enemies."

"If the only way to preserve the dynasty is to forge a thousand-year-old artifact, and if such an artifact brings about such a calamity, then I believe the late king would rather give up his rule than forge these things!"

Peacock Dance's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a figure appeared in her mind—a sinister old man wearing the Thousand-Year Eyes: "So, all of this was Aknadin's conspiracy!"

"He seized the opportunity to forge a divine artifact for some unknown secret, and concealed the consequences from the late king!"

"And now, he wants to kill us, who have discovered some clues!!"

Jonouchi's expression turned serious: "Damn it! I wonder how things are going on the other game. I hope he takes action immediately after receiving the letter, and doesn't let that old geezer escape!!"

On the sand table, Wang Yang suddenly had some memories he had never had before.

That was a small memory he shared with his father, an experience where his father took him to be punished in front of the ancestors...

The sealed memories were partially unlocked, and in that instant, the millennium-old building blocks on his chest emitted light, and a golden mask, formed from the scattered yellow sand, fell in front of him.

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment. Bakula also noticed this scene, but he did not make a fuss and pretended not to have noticed.

"Damn it..." Bakula thought viciously to himself, "They actually let those three guys in the container complete a task and obtain that item. Things are going to get complicated, and the Pharaoh will be even harder to kill!"

"Although I didn't expect the monster Akhenaten forged to kill the Pharaoh, it at least bought me some time."

"It seems that the monster will soon be defeated by the Pharaoh. I must speed things up!!"

"Also... the envoy sent to intercept the container should be arriving soon, right?"

"I underestimated that vessel; it was my mistake. I absolutely cannot let him find the King's Name and bring it to the Pharaoh!!"

Just as he was thinking to himself, Bakura turned his gaze to the clone that was heading to the Valley of the King's Long Sleep. Under his control, the clone gradually transformed into Honda and rode a warhorse toward the place where Yugi Muto and the other two were...

The royal city is engulfed in flames and demonic fire!

All the priests exerted their utmost efforts, and even Youche summoned the Thunder Armored Dragon.

After a chaotic battle, the crimson demon, though severely injured, still had the strength to fight, while everyone else was exhausted.

Looking up at the terrifying monster, Wang Yang's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the billowing dark aura emanating from it.

He couldn't believe that this monster, formed from the resentment of countless prisoners, could be so powerful!

In fact, those so-called prisoners were not real prisoners. Akhenaten knew very well what kind of people harbored immeasurable darkness and evil thoughts. In order to create this terrible thing, he captured many innocent people, cruelly killed their families and persecuted them. In addition, these people had to endure terrible torture in that hell every day. Over time, they became more terrifying than real prisoners!

"Seth!!" Seeing the crimson demon, who had just been knocked to the ground, about to rise again, the wounded priest Mahad shouted, "Protect the Pharaoh!!"

"What are you doing?!" Priest Set gripped the Millennium Scepter tightly, his face ashen.

"I still have some soul left..." Priest Mahad, despite his severe injuries, slowly stood up. "If I fuse my life as the First Archmage with the spirit, I can create a new spirit powerful enough to defeat this monster!!"

"Don't even think about it!!" Priest Seth roared. "Trying to play the tough guy and gain praise at a time like this?! Give up that idea now and keep fighting with me!!"

Priest Mahad exhaled a breath of stale air, and with a rare smile, he forced a smile and said, "Seth... thank you for your concern."

Priest Seth froze, clenching his fists. He knew his words couldn't stop Mahad, who was determined to die, and that this seemed to be the only solution to the current situation.

Priest Mahad straightened his body and evaporated the remaining soul from his body.

He closed his eyes gently, his mind replaying his past with the Pharaoh.

From childhood, he had been the Pharaoh's guard. Although he and Mana grew up together, Mahad knew very well that the Pharaoh was far more noble than himself and Mana.

But an unexpected incident during a game led him to discover a different kind of Pharaoh.

When he was bitten by a poisonous snake in a tree, the young Pharaoh rushed over without hesitation and sucked out the venom bit by bit with his mouth.

Mahad was greatly shocked and tried to dissuade him, but the Pharaoh simply asked him calmly.

"What exactly makes me different from you?"

"Just because I am the Pharaoh, does my life mean I am more precious than yours?"

"I don't understand, I just hope that one day we can create a world where everyone is equal."

This memory was deeply etched in Mahad's mind, and from then on, he devoted his life to striving for the ideal world in the heart of the Pharaoh.

Now, as he is about to sacrifice himself, he is destined never to see that world with his own eyes.

But if, if...

He would gladly sacrifice himself if he could become the cornerstone of that world!

"roar--------------------"

A deafening roar erupted from the monster's mouth once more, and as it rose again, it spewed flames onto the ground once more.

As the raging flames were about to engulf them, Mahad's veins bulged, and he was about to burn his life and the rest of his soul to ashes!

Just then, a powerful and authoritative voice rang out from among the crowd, startling Mahad and causing the guiding ceremony to be interrupted.

The priests were utterly astonished.

Because the call came from the Pharaoh, and what he spoke of were the names of the legendary Three Egyptian Gods!

"Osiris the Sky Dragon!!!"

The world seemed complex and intricate. A deep red lightning bolt streaked across the night, and the dragon, symbolizing the underworld, flew out from the Pharaoh's stone temple. Its powerful divine energy suddenly spread out, completely dispelling the raging fire unleashed by the demon!

The attendant Simon exclaimed in shock, "It's God! The Pharaoh has actually called upon the name of God!!"

The timely appearance of the Sky Dragon of Osiris saved everyone. It continuously unleashed thunderous lightning upon the monster. At that moment, a ray of light broke through the sky, signaling the end of the endless darkness and the imminent arrival of the long-awaited dawn!

You Che looked at Wang Yang beside him, and only then did he realize that Wang Yang's level had instantly increased by five levels!

"Summon lightning bolts!!!" Wang Yang shouted, waving his arm.
