Chapter 628: No Need For That
Because his Life Points were reduced to zero and the pain from the battle damage inflicted upon him, Yugi's body stiffened, barely managing to remain standing, unable to move. He could only watch with vacant eyes as the surrounding barrier began to shrink.
Just now, when **Guardian Eatos'** effect activated, the gaze of the monsters that appeared from his Graveyard was something he couldn't forget. That gaze, that feeling of being judged...
Yugi Mutou, naturally isolated inside the **Millennium Puzzle** by the power of the **Seal of Orichalcos**, also saw Dark Yugi in the Outside World who seemed like he had given up and chosen to submit to the ending of defeat. He was extremely anxious.
"The Other Me!"
However, when his thin fist pounded against the barrier in front of him, it failed to create even the slightest ripple.
Ever since Dark Yugi activated the **Seal of Orichalcos**, he had been isolated in this small world, unable to send his voice to Dark Yugi's ears, only able to watch helplessly as he continuously moved forward in the wrong direction.
He had attempted to destroy the barrier more than once just now, but he was always unable to destroy it.
But now, even though he knew clearly that his effort wouldn't have an effect, Yugi still attempted it again and again, because he saw that the **Seal of Orichalcos** had already passed Rafael, who was walking towards Dark Yugi, and had shrunk by about half.
There was no more time!
But the **Seal of Orichalcos** before his eyes was still so sturdy, his fist simply couldn't shake it!
Subconsciously, Yugi lowered his head and glanced at the **Millennium Puzzle** hanging on his chest.
Although this was a precious item that connected The Other Me and himself, and also an important item for The Other Me to recover memory. However, what was important should be the person, not the item!
Without hesitation, Yugi Mutou hardened his heart, suddenly grabbed the Golden Cone in his hand, and aimed its sharp tip at the **Seal of Orichalcos** that was imprisoning him.
Although it was a genuine artifact, he had to say the **Millennium Puzzle's** weight balance was quite good, and it felt quite good in his hand. Suddenly swinging his arm, like a certain Assassin who had mastered the correct usage of the "Golden Apple", Yugi smashed the **Millennium Puzzle** onto the barrier!
He absolutely couldn't just watch helplessly as Dark Yugi died! Therefore, even if it meant sacrificing himself...
Perhaps it was Yugi's will, perhaps it was the power of the **Millennium Puzzle** as one of the **Millennium Items**, or perhaps the increased pressure after reducing the contact area reached the limit of the barrier's defense, but the sharp Golden Cone opened a gap in the **Seal of Orichalcos**, and golden radiance was released!
Yugi Mutou, who was isolated, had his line of sight deprived by the radiance, his body felt lighter, and he escaped from the gap in the barrier. And in the Outside World, the "Orichalcos Fragment" that had been placed in Dark Yugi's pocket suddenly shattered because of this, and a light rose from the barrier under his feet!
"What power is this?" The unusual situation before his eyes made Rafael, who had stepped forward planning to accept the spoils, stop his steps. He looked on, confused, at Yugi, who was once again enveloped in radiance. When ordinary people have their soul sealed by the **Seal of Orichalcos**, there would also be some commotion, but it would absolutely not be as big a commotion as the Yugi before his eyes.
First of all, he could rule out the possibility that Yugi's Life Points were reduced to zero and he entered phase two. Although the Nameless Pharaoh did have the qualification to be a Boss, Reality wasn't some kind of online game.
He guessed it was probably because the Nameless Pharaoh was the owner of the "Legendary Dragon" that Lord Dartz was apprehensive of, so the commotion when the **Seal of Orichalcos** collected his soul was also unusual? Rafael thought of such a possibility and decided to temporarily stop and observe before any new situation appeared.
And inside the barrier, Dark Yugi, who had already prepared to have his soul taken by the **Seal of Orichalcos**, was surprised to find a touch coming from behind him, as if someone had given him a small push.
"Aibo!?"
Turning his head, Dark Yugi saw Yugi Mutou, who had disappeared ever since the **Seal of Orichalcos** activated, now appearing behind him.
Yugi had learned this when he dueled Grimo: that the **Seal of Orichalcos** suppresses the power of the **Millennium Items** after activation, and can even allow the user to use the **Three Egyptian Gods** Cards without obtaining the recognition of the God Card or the protection of the Millennium Items. When Yugi Mutou disappeared at that time, he wasn't as panicked as the first time.
But now, seeing Yugi Mutou appear before his eyes again, a feeling of guilt rose in Dark Yugi's heart: "Sorry, Aibo, because of my insistence, I ended up losing this duel."
Now that the duel had ended in defeat, Yugi's mind, which had been stained by dark power, recovered some clarity. He also felt that the duel just now was truly wrong. Although he suspected if he was influenced by the power of the Orichalcos, he had lost, and that was that. Dark Yugi did not take the Orichalcos as the reason for his defeat.
Looking at Yugi Mutou, Dark Yugi said with a face full of guilt: "My soul seems like it's about to be sealed by the **Seal of Orichalcos**. I may not be able to continue staying by your side on the path ahead. I'm truly sorry for not being able to fulfill the promise and not being able to continue helping you."
But, hearing Dark Yugi's self-reflection, Yugi Mutou showed a gentle smile: "Don't blame yourself so much, The Other Me. I said, you just need to continue being yourself, I will always support you. Being able to reflect on your previous strange actions, The Other Me, you're still amazing."
"After this time, you will definitely grow and become stronger. And to defeat Rafael, defeat Doma, defeat that person named Dartz, the stronger you become will definitely be able to exert power more than the weak me."
Yugi Mutou's words made Dark Yugi feel increasingly strange the more he listened: "What are you saying, Aibo, what are you going to do!"
"Mm, it's just as you think, The Other Me. I remember Marik also did this back then." Holding the **Millennium Puzzle** emitting golden radiance in his hands, Yugi Mutou smiled slightly at Dark Yugi, "I believe in The Other Me, so even if I don't have confidence in myself, at least believe in me who believes in you."
The **Eye of Horus** on the **Millennium Puzzle** radiated. Dark Yugi, who understood Yugi Mutou's meaning, found it hard to accept what the opponent said. Unable to imagine what would happen next, Dark Yugi stubbornly reached out his hand to stop Yugi Mutou's action, even facing the dazzling golden light that deprived his line of sight: "Wait a moment, Aibo!"
"I'm the one who did wrong. Rafael and Doma's goal is only me, who lost my name and was once the Pharaoh. You shouldn't be implicated!"
"Stop it, Aibo!"
Dark Yugi stretched out his hand with effort, wanting to pull Yugi Mutou, but Yugi Mutou, standing in the golden light, looked at his Soul Partner's extended hand and made a gentle tap.
"Sorry, The Other Me, occasionally let me be selfish for once, and not hold your hand."
The tap didn't have much power, but it was like the last drop of rain that broke the dam. Dark Yugi was directly pushed out and could only watch helplessly as Yugi Mutou stood in the golden light with a smile on his face.
Back then in Battle City, when Dark Marik, occupying Marik's body, engaged in a Dark Game with Yugi and was defeated, facing the penalty of the Dark Game taking his soul, Dark Marik pulled a trick of substitution and used his own soul—that is, Odion's soul—as a substitute.
And now, Yugi Mutou clearly also wanted to replicate that maneuver, using his own soul to be sealed in place of Dark Yugi.
The "Substitution" strategy he once used when dueling Pegasus to prevent his mind from being spied upon, Yugi Mutou now wanted to use this strategy to protect his friend!
"Aibo!"
The last cry came to an abrupt halt after being completely pushed out of the **Seal of Orichalcos**. Dark Yugi's soul was forcibly 'substituted' by Yugi Mutou, placed into the **Millennium Puzzle** for protection, and fell into a coma.
And looking at Dark Yugi's soul disappear before his eyes, the golden light of the **Millennium Puzzle** disappeared and became dim. Yugi Mutou, standing inside the **Seal of Orichalcos**, was once again enveloped by an ominous green light. The previous forced gentle and calm smile disappeared, and a regretful expression appeared on his face.
Although he had put on such an expression of disregarding life and death just now to give The Other Self peace of mind, Yugi Mutou was ultimately just a child who hadn't reached adulthood. To say that he had no fear of the death that was about to come next was naturally impossible.
But, this was a necessary sacrifice.
Although it wasn't comparable to Odion and Dark Marik who were originally the same person, the **Seal of Orichalcos's** judgment was relatively not as strict as the Dark Game's rules. It only needed any soul inside the barrier to fill it.
The **Seal of Orichalcos's** convergence was already nearing its end. Since one soul must be sealed, in that case, let me do it.
Taking a deep breath, Yugi's gaze towards the **Seal of Orichalcos**, which had already shrunk to under his feet, became firm.
In the last moments of his life, he should at least display courage!
"Come on, Orichal—"
Halfway through speaking, Yugi suddenly found that his body had suddenly left the ground.
Is this ascension? No, it's not. He knew how the **Seal of Orichalcos** sealed souls; it should be sealed into a card and then ascend, that's right. Moreover, he felt like he was being choked on the back of his neck just now.
Compared to ascension, it felt more like being lifted up by someone?
"No need for that!"
An extremely familiar male voice came from behind him. Turning his head to look, Yugi saw an unexpected figure actually appearing inside the **Seal of Orichalcos**?
And in the Outside World, Rafael watched as the **Seal of Orichalcos** completely converged, enclosing Yugi within it. The green light that shot up became thinner and dispersed, revealing Yugi, who had closed his eyes and powerlessly fell.
As Yugi knelt down and fell face down on the ground, appearing as if his soul had been sealed, just like other defeated duelists in Rafael's duel career, Rafael also felt some peace of mind and continued forward.
Although the commotion just now was a bit strange, and the time for soul sealing seemed to be much longer than usual, it was probably because the Nameless Pharaoh's soul strength was particularly high. In short, he had completed Lord Dartz's task, and it could be said to be perfectly completed.
Although it took a long time because of the calculations, he not only sealed that high-quality soul of the Nameless Pharaoh, but also tried every means during the duel to make the Nameless Pharaoh be abandoned by the "Legendary Dragon". In this way, although he was the last one among the Doma Three Swordsmen to act, he was also the one who completed the task most perfectly.
Walking closer to the fallen Yugi, Rafael looked at the cards that had fallen from Yugi's Duel Disk and were scattered all over the ground. He carefully picked up each card with gentle force, trying as much as possible not to let the card bend or get damaged, then carefully removed the small grains of sand from the Rooftop that were stuck between the cards, before putting them into the Duel Disk Yugi was wearing.
What was relatively strange was that Rafael clearly remembered that the **Gaia the Fierce Knight** card used by Yugi in the duel just now should have been in his Graveyard, but Rafael found it behind Yugi.
Maybe it was accidentally flung out during the attack? Rafael, subtly brainwashed because Alister often slandered KaibaCorp's product quality, thought this.
And although the most famous user of **Gaia the Fierce Knight** worldwide is Hayato, who has currently joined Doma but is still not trusted by Rafael, because he remembered that Mutou Yuugi's information also included putting this card in his Deck, Rafael didn't pay much attention to why Yugi would use this card in this duel.
After putting away the cards of the unconscious Yugi, only then did Rafael open Yugi's Duel Disk's Field Zone, planning to take out the **Seal of Orichalcos** card that had already sealed the Nameless Pharaoh's soul.
Although he felt that the Nameless Pharaoh's soul might have already been sent to Lord Dartz's hands along with that green light just now, maybe the Nameless Pharaoh's soul quality was too high and it was still sealed into the card. Rafael felt it was still necessary to retrieve the **Seal of Orichalcos** card.
After taking out the card, he didn't look closely. After all, the soul sealing just now was completed before Rafael's eyes, there was absolutely no possibility of error. Rafael then supported Yugi's shoulder and turned him over, reaching his hand into Yugi's pocket, planning to also recover the "Orichalcos Fragment" that fell into Yugi's hand after Grimo died.
But, what made Rafael feel somewhat helpless was that the "Orichalcos Fragment" that should have been indestructible had now become true fragments and was fundamentally unable to recover. However, shattered like this basically means it cannot be used, so there was no need to recover it.
Thinking this, Rafael glanced at the fallen Yugi and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, what a coincidence, Nameless Pharaoh. No, Mutou Yuugi."
"I saw it in your data. The past you seems like you were also a lonely person with no friends, only accompanied by Yugi."
"Simply like me in the mirror."
He glanced at the **Millennium Puzzle**, which wasn't pressed down by Yugi, and while supporting his knees to stand up, he muttered to himself: "If you back then hadn't completed the **Millennium Puzzle**, which hosts the Nameless Pharaoh's soul, and hadn't gradually gained bonds with friends, then would you end up like me, only accompanied by spirits?"
"Humph, I'm really bored, saying such a boring hypothesis to you who cannot respond. Is it because I met someone too similar, so I couldn't help but hypothesize how different I would be if I hadn't encountered Destiny's Joke?"
Showing a helpless smile in self-mockery, Rafael turned around and walked towards the Elevator on the side. Although the Nameless Pharaoh and the Legendary Dragon he holds have been dealt with, there are still people blocking in front of Lord Dartz's plan. For the arrival of the New World, he still cannot rest.
He casually raised the **Seal of Orichalcos** in his hand and glanced at it. But just that one glance, Rafael's departing steps suddenly stopped.
Inside the card, an image of a soul sealed inside indeed appeared, but Rafael believed himself to have good discerning ability. He would absolutely not mistake that green-haired kid with glasses in the card in his hand for the Nameless Pharaoh who just dueled him!
Although the Nameless Pharaoh dueled him in Mutou Yuugi's body, what was important was the aura! That kid in the card, just through the card, he could feel an aura more repulsive than mouse droppings that fell into the Sewer. It was absolutely not a soul that a noble Duelist would have!
What the hell is going on?!
GM 'Sword and Halberd Raging Waves'
About that, I spoiled in the group chat a few days ago that someone would take the blame, seems like no one guessed it.
Although Weevil, who died long ago, didn't have a chance to appear, I still found a way to include him (pushes up glasses).
The next chapter will be exciting, anyway, the logic will make sense.
