Yuei Vu looked at the black figure standing in the life-saving cabin, thought for a moment, and then said: "Chairman Kagemaru, your real purpose in the end should be to save your own life, right?"
The huge mechanical device stayed in place without moving, and the people in the life-saving cabin did not respond at all.
"I know you are about to die." Yuei Vu said, "This does not require any logical ability, nor does it require collecting any evidence. Look at you now in this device, hanging on to your last breath. Maybe one day you will never see the rising sun again, that was obvious enough.
You have accumulated a lot of wealth over the long years, and you have also gained powerful dark power. Unfortunately, none of these can help you resist aging. You cannot stop the pace of death and the natural process.
But you are not willing to do so. You want to rebel against this inevitable law. You have studied the immortal vampires, pursued the secret of the Pharaoh's immortality, and searched for the legendary ultimate alchemy that can make people eternal.
This all led you to where you are today, right? The ultimate answer you find, the thing that gives you the power of immortality."
Yuei Vu didn’t say clearly what it was.
But if Chairman Kagemaru was really the instigator behind the scenes as in the original work, then he must know what Yuei Vu was talking about.
Three Sacred Beast cards, which were inhabited by the existence comparable to gods. They had the power to absorb the energy of duel spirits all over the world and give anyone vitality.
As long as he had those three cards in hand, Kagemaru could regain his youth.There was a long silence, and then the man in the machine spoke in a low voice: "You know a lot."
It didn’t sound like he was denying the facts pointed out by Yuei Vu.
"More than you think." Yuei Vu said, "But what I want to ask is, what do you want to do by arranging Titan to go to the island?"
He was more concerned about what all this had to do with his student.
Judai at this stage was just an ordinary student, well, an ordinary student with extraordinary talents, but even so, he had no reason to attract Kagemaru's attention.
Yuei Vu was actually not sure whether Kagemaru hired Titan, which was why he didn't take the initiative to mention Judai's name. He was just testing, wanting to know if Kagemaru was the employer.
"If you want to know," Kagemaru said, "You must defeat me first, Duel King."
Although he did not answer Yuei Vu's question, he has given Yuei Vu important information.
It seemed that he really did it.
"Let me see your strength," Kagemaru emphasized again.
"As you wish."
The loser in a Shadow Game has no right to resist or deceive. Playing cards was always the simplest and most efficient way to communicate.
“My turn, draw!” Yuei Vu said, “During the Standby Phase, when there are no Spell/Trap Cards on my field, the ‘Treeborn Frog’ in the graveyard can be Special Summoned!”
【Treeborn Frog, DEF 100】
He then showed a card in his hand: "Activate the Spell Card ‘Nibelung's Treasure'! I activate the Equip Spell ‘Nibelung's Ring' from the deck and equip it to the ‘The Blazing Mars' on your field, and then I draw five cards from the deck!”
A silver-white ring was embedded on the huge dragon head of The Blazing Mars. The restraint of power made it scream dullly, and it feebly spit out a few sparks from its mouth.
Kagemaru understood: "Has the most threatening effect of Mars been restrained? But you still have to find a way to break through the solid front line on my field."
"Actually, I don't have to do this." Yuei Vu said calmly, "I used the ‘Treeborn Frog' on the field as a sacrifice to Tribute Summon!
The dark emperor who rules over the underworld…
Caius the Shadow Monarch! ! ! "
Dark mire overflowed on the ground, and an evil and cold breath filled the air. It was a dark emperor, with a painting style that was completely different from all the emperors that had appeared before. His actions and even his very existence exude an uncomfortable evil aura. Just looking at him seemed to evoke the evil that grew in the darkest corners of everyone's heart.
【Caius the Shadow Monarch, ATK 2400】
Kagemaru's voice was a little more urgent: "The ability of this Monarch…"
"If this card is Tribute Summoned: Target 1 card on the field; banish that target," Yuei Vu said, "However, if the removed card is a DARK monster, it can inflict 1000 damage to the opponent!"
【Kagemaru, LP 900】
"Is that so?" Kagemaru understood his intention, "You don't need to break through my defense line on the field, you can just directly deal damage."
"That's right." Yuei Vu said, "It is the duelist, not the monster, who determines the outcome. No matter how powerful the monster is, as long as the duelist's LP returns to zero, the outcome is determined.
According to the effect of Caius the Shadow Monarch, I removed the DARK attribute ‘Zoa’ from the game and gave you 1000 points of effect damage! "
The shadow emperor's power was activated. A dark sphere surrounded by lightning took shape in his palm as if he was holding some kind of evil aggregate in his hand, with enough power to deprive any existence from a dimension.
Zoa was locked by this, and this demon had no way to resist the power of the shadow emperor. It let out a shrill scream and was twisted along with the space it was in, like a piece of paper that had been crumpled into a ball and thrown into the wastebasket outside the dimension.
But Kagemaru opened a set card at the critical moment.
"Trap Card – Gift of The Mystical Elf!" Kagemaru said, "Increase my Life Points by 300 points for each monster on the field."
“The moment before ‘Zoa’ was banished, there were seven monsters on the field.” Yuei Vu said.
"That's right, so I restored a total of 2100 LP." Kagemaru's eyes were cold.
The divine blessing turned into soft blue light and shone on his survival cabin, reflecting a pale and strange light on the glass cabin door. The shadow emperor's impact came right after, hitting the device hard.
【Kagemaru, LP 900 → LP 3000→ LP 2000】
“Did you block it for now?” Yuei Vu said.
"And at this moment, open the set card!" Another set card in Kagemaru's spell trap zone was opened, "Continuous Trap – Double Payback! When the opponent activates an effect that causes 1000 or more damage to me, place 1 Payback Counter on this card for every 1000 damage I took.
During the opponent's next End Phase: Destroy this card, and inflict 2000 damage to the opponent for each Payback Counter on this card! "
【Yuei Vu, LP 1400】
"Oh?" Yuei Vu watched the shadow emperor's impact damage being absorbed by the trap, "Will the trouble be kicked back to me?"
"Exactly." Kagemaru said, "The shackles have been put on, and the god of death is waving his scythe. Have you heard the countdown, Duel King? Those are the steps of the god of death, and the countdown of your life.
You will never be able to find out the truth, and you will never be able to understand my true purpose. Because you will be buried here. "
After a pause, two sharp eyes shot through the glass and the bubbling liquid.
“You’ll never even know who I am.”
Yuei Vu’s eyes moved.
What's the meaning?
Isn’t this guy a Kagemaru?
