This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"The card I drew is—Life-Saving Potion!!"

"With this card, I will resurrect the Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God in my graveyard!!"

"I am the victor of this duel!!"

“Cynthia…”

"We can finally see each other again!!"

In that pure white inner world, Pegasus smiled bitterly, opening his arms as if to embrace his long-missed lover.

But just as he was about to embrace his long-lost lover...

Cynthia, like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind, slowly disappeared into the light.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle Between Millennium Artifacts

"Cynthia!! Cynthia!!!"

The mad Pegasus screamed hoarsely as he watched in despair as the holy light slowly dissipated, and as his inner world returned to chaos and darkness.

"Why...why!!"

At that moment, a voice came from the real world, pulling Pegasus back into the cold, dark duel.

You Shuo's voice was very calm. He slowly picked up the card he had just covered and said in a calm voice:

"Pegasus, at the same time you activated the Life-Giving Potion, I used the spell card—Soul Liberation."

"Under the effect of Soul Release, the monster you revive will be banished from the duel by me."

"You will be judged to have lost this turn if you are unable to summon any monsters."

Pegasus trembled all over, the lingering images in his mind making it difficult for him to calm down.

At this moment, the Armored Dragon Spirit's power was almost exhausted. You Shuo continued slowly, using his own mental energy to sustain himself:

“Pegasus, what you are doing will only bring suffering.”

"The stakes made in a dark duel cannot be broken."

"It's all over, Pegasus."

"Let those souls be liberated."

"Boom..."

As Pegasus gradually regained his senses from the madness, he knelt helplessly on the ground. At the same time, the chaotic space created by the Dark Duel began to shatter little by little.

Both of them returned to reality—the magnificent yet chaotic palace.

"You Shuo!"

"Yes, who won?!"

"Needless to say! Judging from the looks of it, You Shuo is definitely going to win!!"

The people in the castle cheered immediately.

Yugi Muto stood not far away, a grateful smile on his face.

The duel ended in Pegasus' defeat.

This means that all innocent people will be saved, and the souls that were harmed and imprisoned by Pegasus will be liberated!

Pegasus struggled to sit up, looking around as if waking from a deep dream.

In a panic, he got up and staggered out of the palace.

The others, including Jonouchi, were startled and angrily rebuked him:

"Hey! Pegasus!"

"Don't run! Keep your promise!"

"hateful!!"

Jonouchi and Honda rolled up their sleeves, ready to give chase, but just then, a pair of figures supporting each other walked over—it was the Kaiba brothers!

Seeing this, Yugi Muto and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Seto Kaiba has been saved, Sugoroku Muto's soul must have been released as well, and those card spirits should also regain their freedom.

However, Yu Shuo was taken aback when he saw Seto Kaiba and Keihei Kaiba appear.

Based on the timeline, these two people shouldn't have had time to arrive yet.

Suddenly, You Shuo noticed that Ji Liang, who had been by Katsuya's side all along, was nowhere to be seen!

Clearly, the guy who had been pretending to be kind slipped away during the duel.

He most likely secretly released the seahorse brothers to lure the guards and avoid revealing his whereabouts. At this moment, he may already be lying in ambush on Pegasus in an attempt to seize the Millennium Eye!

You Shuo didn't intend to stop it, nor could he.

He had used up too much of his dark energy in that battle.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. Lord Pegasus will certainly keep his promise." The butler, who also served as the referee, came over and took out an envelope and a document. "As per the previously agreed reward, You Shuo will receive a large prize for the event."

You Shuo took the thin envelope, inside which was a check with an astronomical sum written on it.

After You Shuo received the reward, the butler stopped disturbing him and quietly stepped aside to organize the documents.

Just then, a phone call from the security department shocked him: "What?! Lord Pegasus has been murdered?!"

Just moments ago, a disheveled Pegasus was preparing to return to his secret chamber when, just as he was about to open the door, a sinister laugh came from the end of the tunnel.

"Hehehe~ Pegasus, you really are a rat~"

"If it weren't for the help of the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, I really wouldn't have been able to find you~"

Under the setting sun, the corrupted Bakura Ryo stood like a demon king at the exit of the tunnel.

Pegasus gritted his teeth and immediately pressed the alarm button.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bodyguards in black rushed over.

Despite facing more than a dozen armed men, Bakura Ryo remained fearless.

Pegasus immediately shouted, "You fools! What are you all standing there for?!"

"Swish swish swish swish—"

More than a dozen pistols were pointed at Bakura at the same time, but the next second, a magic card was thrown from his hand, and all the bodyguards were bound by a strange shackle!

The cold guns fell to the ground one by one.

The bodyguards, who had never seen such a scene before, changed their expressions drastically, and Pegasus's face turned ashen.

Bakura grinned wickedly: "Didn't expect my power to materialize cards, did you? With just one Magic Shackle, all those vicious dogs you've been raising will be immobilized!"

"Now, it's time for these lackeys to die!"

"Go! Man-eating bugs!! Metamorphosis jars!!"

"Shhh-"

Two more cards were revealed, and the materialized semi-transparent monsters instantly caused the burly men to completely lose consciousness.

Seeing his subordinates lying unconscious on the ground one by one, Pegasus gritted his teeth and roared, "You bastard... but I am also a wielder of the Millennium Artifact! This is just another Dark Duel!"

"Is that so? You weird-accented uncle?" Bakura Ryo's expression was incredibly arrogant. He took out a sharp knife from his pocket and walked step by step towards Pegasus. "You must have been exhausted after that duel, right?"

"Hehehe~ I never expected to get the Millennium Eye so easily~"

"We really should thank You Shuo!"

As the Bakura approached step by step, Pegasus retreated in a panic.

As the sun gradually sank into the sea, and the first glimmer of night fell, a piercing scream rang out from a corner of the island, startling countless forest birds into flight.

Inside the castle.

The seahorse brothers, finally reunited, embraced each other tightly.

Seto Kaiba held Keihei close, his heart filled with guilt and remorse.

If he had returned sooner, then Guiping wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

As the sun gradually set, Seto Kaiba turned his gaze to Yu Shuo.

and so……

Was it this guy who ultimately defeated Pegasus and saved himself and Guiping?

Just then, the gentle Yugi Muto handed a card to Seto Kaiba: "Kaiba-kun, this is the card that was taken from you."

Seto Kaiba was taken aback.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon...

Speaking of which, he still had a Blue-Eyed White Dragon card in You Shuo's hands.

Seto Kaiba couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Looking at You Shuo again, his gaze became complicated.

He doesn't want to owe anyone favors.

However, he still wants to win back that blue-eyed white dragon!

An idea began to form in Seto Kaiba's mind.

He wants to organize a competition.

Let's hold a new dueling tournament!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: It's Time for Multiple Players to Rank Up

The Duel Kingdom Tournament has thus come to a complete end.

As the final champion and the winning challenger, You Shuo not only received a huge prize, but also the highest honor in the dueling world—the title of Duel King.

However, the end of the competition doesn't mean the end of everything.

He also had very important things to do.

First, try to trigger the reward conditions of the previous Hextech event as much as possible.

By engaging in ranked matches with multiple duelists, You Shuo can obtain a large number of rewards, which can be chosen from mental power, spirit power, and dark energy.

For the current YouShuo, multiplayer ranked matches are still quite difficult.

Neither Mai Kongjaku nor Kyoko Masaki are casual people, and Kyoko Masaki and Miho Nosaka are best friends, so their relationship must be handled well.

And if we look for other female duelists...

Those that are beautiful will not be so easy to acquire.

There's no need to buy something that doesn't look good.

Therefore, in order to accomplish this somewhat difficult but extremely exciting task, You Shuo decided to do the second very important thing first.

That is, to do another Hextech gacha pull!

After the last card draw, the system's task was to defeat Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters.

The task has been completed, and it's finally time for You Shuo to perform a high-quality gacha pull.

Because this mission is very difficult, the rewards are exceptionally generous, making it the highest-level card draw currently available in the game.

In order to prepare for the Duel City era, which will consume a lot of dark energy, Yu Shuo must accumulate enough dark energy as soon as possible.

Therefore, this time, the card draw should either directly provide a useful option that can obtain a large amount of dark energy, or ideally, it should help him achieve the previous Hextech rank.

"Click click click click-------"

The wheel scrolled, and soon, three options popped up.

Looking up, You Shuo was immediately struck by the dazzling golden light!

[Huh? A brand new version? Go on: Each time a card is gifted to a female duelist, the recipient's affinity towards the host increases, the amount of which depends on the card's quality.]

[Golden Duel: Each victory against a female duelist greatly increases the defeated duelist's favorability towards the host.]
