Chapter 826: Shout My Name Aloud!
In the Mental World of Dark Yugi, his eyes closed, the nameplate engraved with his name reappeared before him. However, the writing on the nameplate was blurred and completely illegible.
Every time Dark Yugi struggled to make out the writing on the nameplate, the surrounding darkness would press closer, wrapping around the writing on the nameplate. The desperate wails of the Commoners in the distant City echoed around Dark Yugi. In a trance, the writing on the nameplate was swallowed by the darkness.
Zorc's voice rang in Dark Yugi's ears as he kept his eyes closed: "Give up, Nameless Pharaoh. This World has been shrouded in darkness, and your lost name has also been buried in endless darkness and despair."
"If it's just you alone, how much darkness can the radiance you emit dispel?"
After swallowing the writing on the nameplate, the darkness wrapped around Dark Yugi's body. Although Dark Yugi himself was struggling to emit light, that light was too weak compared to the endless darkness around him. His body, covered by darkness, became as stiff as a stone statue, and the dark crystal almost imprisoned Dark Yugi's mind.
Watching the darkness about to swallow the last trace of stubborn light on Dark Yugi, the tightly shut Dark Yugi listened with confusion, as a faint voice came from beyond the darkness.
"What is this voice?"
At first, the voice was still noisy and chaotic. Dark Yugi could only hear the wails of the Commoners that had been interfering with him just now, and the desperate emotions seemed to infect him as well. But gradually, amidst the desperate complaints, curses, and cries, a few voices gradually became clear and loud.
"Yugi!" This was the voice of Joey Wheeler and Tristan ;
"Yugi." This was Téa 's voice;
"Yugi~" This was Hayato's voice;
"Yu~gi!" This was Kaiba's voice.
Gradually, more and more voices appeared:
"Pha~raoh!" This was Seto's voice;
"Pharaoh." This was the voice of the Priests, Simon, Isis, Shada. Besides them, Dark Yugi even distinguished the voices of Karim and Aknadin from within;
"Pharaoh." This was Mahad's voice;
"Prince!" This was Mana's voice;
"Child..." This was the voice of his deceased Father, the Previous Pharaoh King Aknamkanon.
More and more voices emerged from the midst of the desperate ones, echoing in Dark Yugi's ears. Along with them came one after another orb of light, some bright, some faint.
"Persist! The Pharaoh and the Priests are still trying, we must also hold the City Wall!"
"Just to atone for what we did before, you guys run away quickly to a safe place, we Soldiers will cover the rear!"
"Grandma said the Pharaoh is the incarnation of God, he will definitely win!"
One after another orb of light swept past Dark Yugi, merging into the nameplate that was completely covered by darkness and whose writing had completely disappeared. At the same time, in the darkness behind that nameplate, the light paved a path, and one after another phantom appeared on the path of radiance.
Friends he made in the Present Time-Space, Companions he knew three thousand years ago, subjects he protected as the Pharaoh, many people Dark Yugi either knew or didn't know appeared before his eyes, casting gazes filled with hope upon him.
"Light, so much light..." Even Dark Yugi couldn't help but be stunned by the scene before him. The darkness on his body was dispelled by the radiance, and the crystal that imprisoned his mind was covered in cracks and about to shatter. Involuntarily, Dark Yugi reached out his hand towards the front.
A hand gripped the palm Dark Yugi had reached out. He saw his Aibo standing before him, showing a smiling expression.
"The Other Me"
"Aibo"
"So that's it, I completely understand." The corner of Dark Yugi's mouth curved up, and he also showed a smile. "If it's just one person's light, it can never illuminate the darkness, but the gathered bond will build an incredibly shining radiance."
"This is the true light!"
Dark Yugi and Yugi, who was beside him, held hands, and together they both reached out their other hands towards the nameplate where the darkness had been dispelled. The writing on it had been completely erased by the darkness, but Dark Yugi didn't care about that. He held one end in his hand and raised it above his head with Yugi.
"Everyone, please share a little light with me!"
Like a comeback meteor shower, everyone standing before Dark Yugi offered a ball of light from their body, surging towards the nameplate in Dark Yugi's hand. The converging radiance gradually re-engraved the lost writing onto the empty nameplate, writing down Dark Yugi's lost true name once more.
And this time, Dark Yugi, surrounded by light, called out his name without any obstruction!
"My name is, Atem!"
"Although humans are born with darkness, humans are born yearning for light. The story of humanity is born from darkness, but the ending is by no means a return to darkness, but a story that ends in endless radiance." Looking at the darkness before him, Dark Yugi, or rather, Atem, declared loudly, "Gather under the Pharaoh's true name, radiant humans!"
Clutching the nameplate engraved with his name tightly in his hand, Atem opened his eyes: "Now, I hold hope in my hand!"
And in Reality, as Atem opened his eyes, the nameplate emitting radiance, as if it were the transformation of hope, appeared out of thin air in his hand. Not only that, but Atem's own body also began to emit radiance, transformed into a light beam that shot up into the Sky.
"The Other Yugi, he succeeded!" "Prince succeeded!" Seeing this, Téa and Mana hugged each other, excited for Atem.
"Oh, as expected of The Other Yugi, he easily did what we couldn't!" "It's truly exciting and makes one's heart pound!" Joey Wheeler and Tristan also put their arms around each other's shoulders, watching Atem, who was bathed in light and clearly successful.
And Hayato, feeling the radiance's illumination, felt his body become very light. The side effect of Zorc swallowing the sun before seemed to have disappeared as well. Looking at Atem, he couldn't help but declare loudly: "Rejoice! The King who surpassed Time-Space, was born in the past and grew in the future, has now found his long-lost true name here! His name is Atem, the Last Twilight Sun. At this moment, the legendary story has reached its final arc!"
"Atem, is that the Pharaoh's name?" Malik, bathed in the radiance from Atem's body, felt his previously restless inner thoughts calm down somewhat.
However, in contrast, Zorc only felt that the radiance bursting forth from Atem after finding his name was too dazzling, even faintly giving him a sense of danger. Every part of his body illuminated by the light felt a stinging sensation.
"Light, hateful light! Did you actually find your true name, Nameless Pharaoh!"
Within the sacred light, the Three Egyptian Gods, who had previously turned into stone statues, revived once more, standing in a triangle and surrounding Zorc.
Looking at the Three Egyptian Gods, Zorc arrogantly said, "It's useless, I said it before, human gods have no use against me!"
"I certainly know that, Zorc!" Looking up at Great Evil God Zorc, despite the unprecedented deep darkness before him, Atem, who was bathed in equally unprecedented light of hope, was fearless. He took a step forward, "Then, what about the God of Gods?"
"God, of Gods?" Zorc was stunned upon hearing this.
Only to see the Three Egyptian Gods emitting the same radiance as Atem. Besides Atem, two other light beams rose up beside the Three Egyptian Gods.
"This is, light?" Surrounded by light, Seto looked up at the blue giant god before his eyes, "【Obelisk the Tormentor】, is this the power of a God?"
"Oh oh oh, power is surging up!" Beside Hayato, whose hair was blown upwards by the updraft and who had an excited expression, the golden sun god soared. "Even if darkness temporarily covers the Earth, the sun still shines eternally. Respond to me, 【Ra】!"
And behind Atem, the red long dragon 【Slifer the Sky Dragon】 was surrounded by lightning, baring its fangs at Zorc.
"Justice is with the name of God, and the Pharaoh is the incarnation of God on Earth. Gather the Pharaoh's name from the past, present, and future, and here I command the Three Egyptian Gods!" Waving his hand forward, Atem shouted, "The gathered power will awaken the endless God of Light that created all things!"
Not just Hayato, Atem, and Seto, but one light beam after another rose up towards the Sky. The darkness was instantly dispelled by this sudden burst of light. Before Zorc's eyes was almost infinite light. That one percent, one thousandth, one ten thousandth possibility had now transformed into definite light of hope!
"I, turned into light?" Joey Wheeler looked at his hands, somewhat stunned. Tristan beside him was also completely illuminated by the light, "I also turned into light? It feels so warm."
"This is?" "What a nice feeling." "Such gentle radiance." It wasn't just the two of them, countless people were enveloped in light, or rather, they were all emitting light.
"We all turned into light!" Yugi, also bathed in radiance, looked forward. Countless lights were gathering, converging in one place.
Although this was the first time experiencing such matters, guided by his inner thoughts, Seto raised the 【Millennium Rod】 in his hand above his head and shouted, "In the Pharaoh's name, Three Egyptian Gods, and all the light, combine into one!"
The endless radiance transformed into a human figure, standing on the Earth. Although its true form had not yet been revealed, its mere existence made people feel its greatness and sacredness. The darkness and despair that had previously lingered in human hearts were now dispelled by the power of that light.
Atem placed the nameplate on the 【Millennium Scale】 and punched towards the Sky: "Disappear, darkness!"
Hayato placed his hands on his chest, his fingers wrapped around the 【Millennium Ring】, then suddenly spread his arms wide and shouted, "Now, shout my/the royal 'I''s name aloud!!"
"【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】!!!" X3 → X∞
The golden deity opened its eyes and looked at Zorc with a calm gaze, raising its arms towards him.
Looking at 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】 before him, Zorc felt genuine panic and fear for the first time. It was laughable to say, Great Evil God Zorc Necrophades could absorb the dark emotions in human hearts to boost his power, but at this moment when the entire World was enveloped in radiance, the only fear he could absorb came from himself.
"No, impossible, I can't be eliminated like this!"
Unable to accept the scene before him, Zorc swung his fist at 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】, attempting to eliminate the opponent before it attacked him. But his previously invincible power was now like a comical performance against 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】, unable to even shake the radiance around 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】.
As soon as Zorc's fist entered the range of light, it dissolved on its own. Even his immortal body didn't work and couldn't revive at all.
"Impossible, impossible! Impossible, impossible, impossible!" Without hands, Zorc desperately spewed dark magic power with his dragon head, attempting to attack 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】, still not giving up. But the result remained unchanged. In Zorc's desperate gaze, 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】 condensed a ball of pure white orb of light in its hand.
"Salvation Light." The calm voice of 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】 sounded, and it pushed out the orb of light towards Zorc.
"No, don't! I am Great Evil God Zorc, I have an immortal body!" In despair, Zorc turned and attempted to escape, wanting to avoid that seemingly ordinary orb of light that gave him a sense of fatal crisis. He even thought of eliminating one or two more people before being eliminated, spitting dark magic power towards Hayato and Atem with his dragon head.
But in the face of 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】's attack, Zorc only persisted for less than a second before being instantly eliminated. And this time, the light penetrated directly into Zorc's Interior existence, eradicating him from the source, who possessed an immortal body as long as darkness existed. And that dying struggle of an attack had already dispersed into nothingness before it even arrived before Hayato.
"I am, immortal—" Zorc's words were not finished before he was swallowed by the endless light. The power of radiance transformed into a Tower reaching the sky, standing at the location where Zorc was eliminated, reaching straight to the heavens. And the sun, which had been covered by darkness, reappeared in the Sky, casting down its warm radiance.
The dark clouds were scattering, and the light beams standing on the Earth also disappeared one after another, leaving only 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】 standing in place.
Looking down at the crowd before it, 【The Creator God of Light, Horakhty】 spoke: "Three thousand years ago, when Zorc Necrophades descended upon the Earth, the Pharaoh, alone with only his own radiance, could not eliminate him, and chose to seal him along with his own name."
"And three thousand years later, the gathered light of hope changed the ending."
"Humans in the strife between light and darkness, successfully moved towards a Future of light."
"This ultimate dark game is the victory of Atem and humanity."
The golden giant god of light's form gradually became transparent, and it disappeared under the gaze of everyone.
In the Mental World of Dark Yugi, his eyes closed, the nameplate engraved with his name reappeared before him. However, the writing on the nameplate was blurred and completely illegible.
Every time Dark Yugi struggled to make out the writing on the nameplate, the surrounding darkness would press closer, wrapping around the writing on the nameplate.
