Seeing the turn come to Jack, the former king hesitated, and Yugen chuckled: "What? Lost the title of king, don't even have the courage to continue the duel?"
Jack glared fiercely at him, and after a long pause, spoke in a deep voice.
"Two years ago, I accepted your invitation and came here, to this New Tongshiyi City, Godwin. I abandoned everything, abandoned the comrades who fought with me, even buried my past self.
I came here just to reach the pinnacle, to walk the path to becoming the supreme king."
As he spoke, he gently closed his eyes, sneering, not sure if he was laughing at the other or at himself.
"Supreme king... How ridiculous it seems now. I was just a clown thinking he was placed on a throne, abandoning the past, abandoning comrades. What path of a king could I possibly have?"
Yusei: "Jack..."
Yugen watched him with a smile and said nothing.
But then Jack raised his head and shouted: "But now I'm no longer lost. I've found a new path! It's not as a king but as the path of Jack Atlas!
And what made me realize this, was a woman's love!"
Yugen: "Oh?"
This statement isn't very Yugi King-like.
Look at you speaking like "women are bothersome, I want to become world champion.JPG." Is this something the card player role model Jack should say?
"But now she's dead. Because of the Earth-Bound God, because of the Dark Markers, because of this so-called five-thousand-year fate cycle, because of some people's bored ambitions!"
Jack roared angrily.
"Godwin, maybe you are indeed stronger than me now, but even so, I will never let you go!
The sacrifice of those innocent people, your kind of ambitious guy's desires, I'll shatter them on their behalf, even if I have to bet my soul, my everything!"
At this time, although the Earth-Bound God had been defeated, the souls of those who died as Dark Markers have not yet returned. Thus, to the current main characters, Kalin, Carly, and others are indeed truly dead.
"You vented all your anger and resentment on me?"
Yugen muttered to himself but soon smiled.
"Well, if this can propel further evolution, then so be it."
Jack continued: "And now this is my gamble, my desperate ultimate move!
Activate the Magic Card 'Desperate Treasure Scroll'!!!" (Original Card)
This is one within the 'Treasure Scroll' series that is extraordinarily heavyweight in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series, truly worthy of being called a "desperate" move.
"Desperate Treasure Scroll allows me to draw three cards from my card deck, but as a price..."
Jack shouted.
"After drawing the cards, I must send all remaining cards in the card deck to the graveyard!"
If unsuccessful, one becomes a martyr; akin to its name, it's a last resort only used in moments of despair. The violent draw of three cards signifies that a victory or defeat must be decided in this round. And if unable to execute a one-turn KO, then there will likely be no next round.
Clero's face changed dramatically: "This guy Jack, directly sending his entire card deck to..."
And at the moment this card was activated, it seemed as though black clouds gathered in the night. At the same time, all the Dragon Sealer's Dragon Seals began emitting a red glow!
Yes, all the Dragon Sealers, including the arm equipped with the Dragon Head Seal brought by Yugen.
When five Dragon Seals gathered here, all the Dragon Seals began to shine. Half a second later, they actually began disappearing from the hands of their original holders!
Yusei, Qiu, Luna, and the Dragon Head Seal, all four of the Dragon Seals vanished from their bodies and appeared on Jack's back, forming a complete Red Dragon Totem!
Yugen squinted his eyes: "Finally, it arrives."
At the same time, the top card of Jack's deck began to radiate a golden glow.
The Red Dragon Card Printer began exerting its power!
"Accept the effect of 'Desperate Treasure Scroll', draw cards!"
Jack shouted loudly, forcefully drawing three cards, then drawing three more.
Then all remaining cards in his deck flowed to the graveyard like water.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Revive the Dead'!"
Above Jack's head, alongside the magic activation, appeared an ancient resurrection symbol. Then the symbol began to burn, and flames surged, transforming into a dark, jagged body, a dragon's claws. Jack's soul, the dark red dragon, proud to him, roared as it reappeared!
"Revive the Dead's effect allows a Monster to be Special Summoned from the graveyard.
Resurrect the 'Red Lotus Demon Dragon' from the graveyard!"
[Red Lotus Demon Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"Special Summon 'Candy Clown'!"
Another Monster slammed down, a clown seemingly walking on a ball like part of a circus jumped onto Jack's field.
[Candy Clown, Attack Power 0]
"Finally, it's this card!
World-Saving Dragon!!!"
[World-Saving Dragon, Attack Power 0]
It seemed just a normal One-Star adjusted card, lacking any domineering special effects, with an Attack Power of only 0, looking at this card alone, it seemingly had no extraordinary features.
But just such a card, upon its summoning to the field, made everyone feel a breath stop, as if an unusual aura could be sensed from it.
Especially the Dragon Sealers, who vaguely seemed to see the shadow of a red dragon rolling from this dreamy little dragon.
This card was indeed the product of the Red Dragon Card Printer, which Jack printed on the spot and used, a card infused with the Red Dragon's strength!
"Level One, Adjusted Monster 'World-Saving Dragon'!
Level One, 'Candy Clown'!
Level Eight, 'Red Lotus Demon Dragon'!
Star-Tuning!"
[1+1+8=10]
"The solitary light polished to the extreme, become the true dominator shining on the earth! Radiate brilliance! Synchronize Summon! Magnificent soul, World-Saving Demon Dragon!"
The air instantly solidified, dark red streams burst forth from Jack's Duel Disc. Even teammates' exclamations were stuck in their throats, the savage energy rippling in the static dimension.
The small frame of the World-Saving Dragon expanded several times, enveloping the Red Lotus Demon Dragon entirely. The rings of star-tuning seemed ignited by flames, dark red energy poured down like a breached galactic river.
The dragon's claws were first to materialize, long hooked toes tearing through space, each claw mark seeming to leave spatial fractures. The moment the dragon's eyes opened, it was as if stars in the night sky shattered, transforming into thousands of burning meteors, accompanying the descent of that vast crimson dragon.
World-Saving Demon Dragon, summon!!!
[World-Saving Demon Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
Yugen looked up at the imposing dragon, with his strength barely perceiving the illusion of the Red Dragon through this king dragon.
He could discern that this was the Red Dragon distributing its own power to the Dragon Sealers, making a transformation based on their own dragon.
"Alright, alright, using the printing card technique."
Yugen smiled.
"This is what makes this duel meaningful."
"Godwin!" Jack shouted, "This round, use this absolute king power to bury that Phantom Demon!"
