Chapter 581: Why Are You Just Watching?
"You're next, Nameless Pharaoh."
Rafael took the card handed to him, confirming that the soul of the Father of Duel Monsters, Pegasus, was sealed within the card without issue. His gaze shifted to Yugi, who had just stepped out of the Elevator.
Before Yugi could react, Joey Wheeler was the first to be unable to suppress the anger born from witnessing a life disappear before his eyes. He stepped forward, glaring back without flinching. "Yare yare, Rafael!"
"You bastard, are you part of Doma too?!"
At the KC Cup, Joey Wheeler had been one of the few audience members to watch the Duel between Rafael and Yugi. Naturally, he had an impression of the person before him. At that time, the reason for Yugi's Duel with Rafael was to obtain the "key" to lift the barrier over the Kaiba Dome Venue—the card **Uria, Lord of Searing Flames**.
Although there was a reason for the battle, due to the interaction during the Duel, Yugi had ultimately judged Rafael to be a "True Duelist." But how could such a "True Duelist" also be a member of Organization Doma, capable of taking others' cards?!
"You almost died in your Duel with Grimo before, and you barely managed to cling to life. And now you're actively coming to us?" Rafael ignored Joey Wheeler, his eyes fixed only on the silent Yugi. "Nameless Pharaoh, you will eventually become an obstruction to Doma's plan. Let me defeat you here!"
"Tsk, don't ignore me, you bastard!" Joey Wheeler was considerably annoyed by Rafael's repeated disregard. He directly blocked Rafael's gaze, which was fixed on Yugi. "Grimo, that bald guy from before, so he was your Subordinate. Perfect, we still have the score to settle for the God Card that was stolen."
Raising his Duel Disk and adopting a stance ready for battle, Joey Wheeler also glanced at the other person standing beside Rafael, who had been facing away from them until just now. That person had just used a monster that clearly looked like a Machine Type to defeat Pegasus.
"That guy over there, you too! Standing before you is the Top 4 player of Duelist Kingdom, the legendary Duelist Joey Wheeler, who almost defeated the runner-up in Battle City! Just the sin of taking others' souls means I won't let you off easily!"
As Joey Wheeler spoke fiercely, he felt Yugi's hand on his shoulder from behind. Yugi stepped out from behind him, seemingly wanting to say something. Joey Wheeler noticed that the **Millennium Puzzle** on Yugi's chest was radiating light, but it wasn't the kind of light that appeared when soul switching or Duel Monster materialization occurred. It was closer to a golden light, like a resonance.
"The **Millennium Puzzle** feels a familiar aura. That feeling... you're also a user of a **Millennium Item**, aren't you?"
Looking at the person's back, Yugi's finger traced the surface of the **Millennium Puzzle**. "And it can't be the **Millennium Necklace** or **Millennium Rod**, which are kept by the Tomb Keepers. The feeling from you doesn't seem like the **Millennium Eye** either. Could it be one of the **Millennium Key** or **Millennium Scale**?"
"No, that's not right. This aura is too familiar. This feeling... it's the **Millennium Ring**!"
Yugi pointed a finger at the person facing away from him. "You bastard, where did you get that **Millennium Item**?!"
Hearing this, the man with his back to Yugi and Joey Wheeler sighed helplessly. "So, I was discovered because of this detail?"
As he spoke, the man reached into his clothes and pulled out a shimmering golden disk. The five golden cones on the disk pointed in Yugi's direction, specifically towards the location of the **Millennium Puzzle**. The **Millennium Ring** on his chest was also flashing with light, resonating with the **Millennium Puzzle**.
However, more than the fact that the person pulled out the **Millennium Ring**, which had disappeared with Hayato's "sacrifice," Joey Wheeler and Yugi were more concerned about one thing: the voice of the person who had finally spoken was too distinctive, and they were too familiar with that voice.
"You are—!"
"Masaka!?"
Putting down the **Millennium Ring** and letting it hang from his chest, Hayato turned around and looked at the stunned Joey Wheeler and Yugi. "It's been a long time, Yugi, and Joey Wheeler."
"Hayato?! You bastard, I knew you'd be okay!"
Overjoyed, Joey Wheeler completely forgot about the fact that Pegasus had just been killed by Hayato. Seeing his companion, who was thought to be "dead," reappear, his heart was filled only with surprise and great joy. "You have no idea how worried we were when you disappeared during this time, but now that you're back—"
Just as he was about to step forward, Joey Wheeler was suddenly pulled back by Yugi beside him. And it was this moment of pause that caused a strong wind to sweep past Joey Wheeler's eyes.
Only then did Joey Wheeler notice that the never-before-seen machine demon, **Infernoid Belphegor**, which should have disappeared after the Duel ended, had remained in the Room and had not vanished. And just now, because Joey Wheeler had approached Hayato, it had actively attacked, using its sharp iron claws to slash a mark on the Ground.
If Yugi hadn't pulled Joey Wheeler back just now, he would have likely been seriously injured!
"What are you doing, Hayato!" Yugi looked at the indifferent Hayato and asked in confusion. "Why are you with Doma's people, and why did you kill Pegasus just now!"
"And why are you letting your never-before-seen monster, which gives off an ominous feeling, attack Joey Wheeler? Aren't we friends!"
"Why are you just watching?!"
However, Hayato's answer caused Yugi's pupils to shrink.
"Friends? Ah, I'm tired of playing that game of friendship."
"Game of friendship?"
Hayato nodded, one hand behind his back, secretly giving a thumbs-up to **Infernoid Belphegor**, who was putting on a good performance. His expression in front, however, was the standard smirking look of a villain learned from hot-blooded anime. "Yes, the so-called 'friendship' and the like were just a childish game of make-believe that I played with you guys. Although it was interesting, unfortunately, I'm tired of playing it."
"Furthermore, the only reason I maintained friendship with you was because I saw enough profit in you. But now I feel that the power Organization Doma gives me is stronger than what you can provide, so isn't it perfectly normal for me to join Doma?"
Hayato's expression was sincere. No matter how Yugi and Joey Wheeler looked at him, Hayato didn't seem to be lying, but this made it even harder for them to accept Hayato's account.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Hayato! You're lying, right!" Joey Wheeler didn't believe Hayato's words and was about to step forward again, crossing the mark on the Ground. But **Infernoid Belphegor** behind Hayato acted again. The hawk-like demon plunged its claws directly into the Ground in front of Joey Wheeler, tearing out a large hole.
Rafael looked at Hayato and said, "So, which one do you want to deal with? I don't care who my opponent is."
"No, you don't need to make a move, neither Joey Wheeler nor Yugi."
Rafael, thinking Hayato wanted to let Joey Wheeler and Yugi go, frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he saw **Infernoid Belphegor** behind Hayato disappear back into a card. Stepping forward, Hayato raised the Duel Disk on his hand. "After all, I was 'friends' with them before. As friends, it's most suitable for me to personally bury them."
"Moreover, the power I've gained from Doma, from Orichalcos, still hasn't reached its limit. I can feel that if I continue to provide sufficiently intense Duels as stimulation, perhaps the power I've obtained can go even further."
Smirking, Hayato looked at Yugi and Joey Wheeler with an expression like he was looking at prey. "In that case, are there any more suitable opponents than them?"
Rafael looked at the arrogant Hayato and reminded him, "Are you going to face two people alone? Don't say I didn't warn you, even if he's not as good as the Nameless Pharaoh, Katsuya Joey Wheeler is still a Duelist with a certain amount of fame. At least he won't hold you back in your Duel with the Nameless Pharaoh."
"I know that better than you, and I'm just informing you, not asking you, Rafael."
Hayato glanced at Rafael and said arrogantly, "Dartz said I'm the person in charge of you 'Doma Three Swordsmen,' are you going to defy me?"
"Get out of the way, I'm starting the Duel. Just thinking about how the **Infernoid** born from the dark power within my inner thoughts will radiate even greater power through the sacrifice of my former 'friends' makes me feel incredibly hyped, hahahaha!"
"Dartz?" Yugi noticed the name Hayato had just mentioned. He felt like he had heard it somewhere but couldn't place it. However, the incidents that had occurred so far had overloaded his brain capacity, leaving no room to think about who "Dartz" was.
Hayato, who had mysteriously reappeared after sacrificing himself to achieve mutual destruction with Anubis in the battle at that time, had now joined Organization Doma, a mysterious organization that hunted Duelist souls and stole the Three Egyptian Gods cards. Furthermore, the current Hayato was using evil Duel Monsters called **Infernoid** that looked ominous, and he had killed Pegasus and sealed his soul right in front of him and Joey Wheeler.
Even worse, according to Hayato, he was planning to make a move against him and Joey Wheeler. Judging by the attack his monster launched at Joey Wheeler just now, it didn't seem like he was faking it; he was genuinely trying to kill him!
"Our friendship is fake... That kind of thing—"
"That kind of thing is impossible!" Joey Wheeler, standing beside him, clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Hayato's eyes as if trying to discern something. He said firmly, "All the things we experienced together in the past, those emotions how could they be something that could be faked!"
"When I didn't understand Duel Monsters, it was Yugi and you, Hayato, who patiently guided me on strategy and helped me grow. And you generously gave me powerful cards more than once. Saying it was 'just for profit' is a complete lie!"
"Hayato, you must have been controlled by Doma's people using some card with evil power. In that case, I'll defeat you and make you return to normal!"
"Joey Wheeler..." Yugi listened to Joey Wheeler's words, slightly stunned, but then suddenly smiled. "Seriously, why did I suddenly have the idea to doubt Hayato just now?"
"That's right, Hayato, who was even willing to sacrifice himself to protect his friends. How could the bond between that Hayato and us be fake?" Yugi stepped forward, standing side by side with Joey Wheeler, jointly facing Hayato. "We'll save you, Hayato!"
Seeing Yugi and Joey Wheeler trust him so much, it would be a lie to say Hayato's heart wasn't completely moved at this moment. But because Rafael was still nearby, he could only turn this emotion into the mocking smile that showed on his face. "Heh heh, how foolish. Even now, you refuse to accept reality, and you even convinced yourselves with such strange reasons?"
"It doesn't matter. Before this pure **Infernoid** Deck of mine, the facts you refuse to accept will be forcibly revealed. All that will be left for you is pain and despair!"
"Duel~"
[Hayato: 8000 LP]
"Duel!" X2
[Yugi + Joey Wheeler: 8000 LP]
"I'll take the first turn, Draw!"
Joey Wheeler said, drawing a card from his Deck and adding it to his Hand.
In this two-on-one Duel, Yugi and Joey Wheeler would share the Field, Life Points, and Graveyard. They would take turns alternating turns. As compensation, Hayato received double Life Points, and because Hayato was the second turn player, he could enter the Battle Phase on his turn.
Looking at the card he drew, Joey Wheeler immediately activated it. "During my Main Phase, I activate this Spell Card, **Red-Eyes Fusion**! During the turn I activate this card, I cannot Summon or Special Summon monsters by the effect of cards other than this card!"
"And the power I gain in exchange for this restriction is that I can send Fusion Material monsters determined by a Fusion Monster from my Hand, Field, or Deck to the Graveyard, and then Fusion Summon one Fusion Monster that lists **Red-Eyes Black Dragon** as a Fusion Material from my Extra Deck. Furthermore, the monster Special Summoned by this effect is treated as **Red-Eyes Black Dragon**!"
Joey Wheeler said, about to send two monsters from his Deck to the Graveyard: "The Fusion Materials I will send to the Graveyard are **Red-Eyes Black Dragon** and **Meteor Dragon**. The Fusion Materials are a 7☆ Red-Eyes monster and a 6☆ Dragon-Type monster. I Fusion Summon—"
"Before that, I discard this card from my Hand."
Hayato's voice interrupted the name of the Fusion Monster Joey Wheeler had yet to declare. Before the **Red-Eyes Fusion** that Joey Wheeler had already activated, the two monsters, **Red-Eyes Black Dragon** and **Meteor Dragon**, were ready to be sent. But at this moment, as Hayato sent a card from his Hand to the Graveyard, a smirking little girl actually blocked the way to Joey Wheeler's Graveyard, preventing him from sending the two cards to the Graveyard!?
Although she was clearly a little girl wearing a cute kimono and appearing with cherry blossoms, the more Joey Wheeler looked at that monster, the harder his fists felt.
Hayato said proudly, "When your opponent activates an effect that adds a card from the Deck to the Hand, Special Summons a monster from the Deck, or sends a card from the Deck to the Graveyard, I can discard **Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring** from my Hand to negate that effect. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."
"I wonder if **Red-Eyes Black Dragon**, after being negated, will dream of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring tonight?" Hayato mocked with malice.
