Silent Magic Burst!
Though the move is the same, compared to before, the effect is now completely different. When Silent Magician unleashed that strike, a dazzling golden light burst from the magic staff, making the effect even more spectacular.
That was a new form naturally derived from the evolution of the elf after receiving the blessing of the Golden Cabinet.
At this moment, Yugen realized that the reason Muto Yuugi entrusted him with this Golden Cabinet card in his dream might not have been merely because he was inadvertently drawn into the center of the Evil God incident, but also because of the fate between the two of them.
It just so happened that Yugen possessed the Silent Magician elf, which was one of Yuugi's favorite ace cards back then. Even during the famous battle ceremony scene, Yuugi used the "Sealed Golden Cabinet" to seal Revive the Dead, causing Atom's Sky Dragon to fail in resurrecting, leading to the Silent Magician delivering the final blow.
Yugen not only loved Silent Magician but also used many cards that Yuugi used in the past, and his card choices and duel strategies coincided with Yuugi in some aspects. Perhaps Yuugi felt a connection with him, which is why he entrusted this card to Yugen.
The evil god's form began to falter, black mist continuously emitting from the puppet's body, as if the body was leaking air.
Yugen knew that this was a sign of defeat; the Evil God was no longer able to cling to the puppet, and the fragments projected into this shell were about to be forced out and dissipate at any moment.
But as per tradition in the world, even a losing side has to throw out a few words.
"Damn you, two generations of Duel Kings, you're merely humans... insignificantly trifling bugs yet dare to thwart my plans again and again..."
The Evil God glared at him fiercely. The puppet's body showed no facial expression as before, but the eyes were becoming sharper.
"Fine, very fine. Since that's how it is, come if you wish." said the Evil God in a deep voice, "I will... be here... waiting for you..."
By the end of the sentence, the voice was faint and weak, as if the last vitality of this body was exhausted. The murderous intent in those eyes also began to vanish, until they became vacant and hollow, as if even the soul vanished without a trace.
Yugen contemplated, those last few simple words actually revealed a lot of information. It seemed that Yuugi had ruined their plans more than once; perhaps he had troubled them before today. The phrase "will be here waiting" seemed to suggest expecting Yugen and others to face the Evil God again where the seal was located.
Having witnessed the entire battle, Malik and his sister Isis were feeling quite complex.
Even without communicating, they knew that both of them must be recalling the scene from the battle ceremony.
Watching Yugen's Silent Mage Zero evolve to Twelve-Star on the field, its elegant white silhouette for a moment seemed to overlap with the figure of Silent Magician delivering the final blow under Muto Yuugi's hand during the battle ceremony, concluding an era of legend.
"Golden Cabinet of Light, Silent Magician... I see."
Malik murmured, momentarily lost in thought.
"Mr. Yugi, even though he stands at such a height, he's never stopped moving forward all these years."
The external world only believes Muto Yuugi has retired with his cards sealed away, and rumors even said Yuugi's dueling skills have waned over the years. But now, it's clear these are baseless claims.
"Of course."
Isis said, looking at the shining Golden Cabinet and the billowing white robes on the field.
"He made a promise with the Pharaoh to always move bravely forward towards the future."
Actually, today Yugen's display of the Golden Cabinet of Light was just a fleeting glimpse, using only the Silent Magician and two related enhancement magic cards. But in truth, the Golden Cabinet integrates the entire deck that Muto Yuugi once used, including Silent Magician, Silent Knight, the red-green-yellow gears, Cotton Candy, Destruction Dragon Gandola, etc.
This deck can be said to represent the pinnacle of Muto Yuugi's dueling career, containing his emotions and determination, with infinite possibilities.
Now that the Evil God has been defeated, Malik stepped forward and said, "The Evil God has always wanted your elf to help his followers locate the sealing place and assist them in breaking the seal.
But if enemies, not their followers, find it first, they will be facing battle in a sealed state, which is most disadvantageous to the Evil God."
"Then I must promptly pay a visit." Yugen smiled and said, "When shall we set out?"
...
...
Another dimension.
The Evil God slowly opened his scarlet eyes, darkness churning, filled with murderous intent.
"Brother is back?"
Beside him, another shadow stirred, its massive body in the shadow like a walking mountain. This was Evil God: Root of Fear, the second brother among the Evil God's trio.
Root of Fear laughed, "This time took even less time than expected; seems that kid was not that great, unlike what they said. I imagine he was taken down by Brother in just a few rounds..."
The Divine Incarnation looked silently at his younger sibling. The latter was laughing heartily at first, but after a while, he faintly sensed murderous intent, and involuntarily closed his mouth, looking strangely at the other.
The Divine Incarnation let out a heavy snort.
"I'll spare him." The Divine Incarnation said, "When he arrives here, remember, he's mine; none of you are allowed to interfere."
Root of Fear hesitated for two seconds, and then immediately realized in shock.
Wait a second, could it be...
Brother was taken down by the opponent in just a few rounds?
Thinking of this, he was secretly startled.
Like the Divine Incarnation, he also thought there were no opponents left for them in a world where the Phantom God Pharaoh was gone. Despite Brother borrowing the puppet's body to walk outside, and not being able to use true powers, the Divine Incarnation was still the strongest among their trio. Originally expected Brother would handle any opponent effortlessly; who knew even Brother suffered a setback.
Human Duelists are now at such a level?
But since Brother spoke, he didn't dare ask further. Especially knowing the previous unintentionally spoken words might have touched Brother's sore spot, he dared not speak casually now.
Silence lasted for two seconds; the Divine Incarnation suddenly frowned, "Where has that useless thing gone?"
Root of Fear knew Brother was referring to their most useless younger sibling, looked around and said, "Who knows. He seemed to mention some believers finding someone they could use.
Apparently it's some rare elf; although extremely powerful, it's currently weak and could perhaps be used. So he decided to check it out personally..."
"An elf?"
The Divine Incarnation muttered.
"It's just an elf, what use could it have?"
"Not clear, I haven't paid much attention. But it was said to have origins from some external domain, with some special powers."
"Special powers?"
