Chapter 218 Acquired! Hero of Destiny!
"You—you dare to insult me like this!"
Ed's voice was hoarse like a broken gong, and the despair in his eyes turned into a raging fury.
The deck is the soul of a duelist, and Yu Ming's casual theft of it is more painful for him than killing him.
"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Academy. Even if we are defeated, I will not tolerate this—"
"Oh? You noticed?"
You Ming raised his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips, interrupting him with a blunt tone that left no room for negotiation, "That's right, I am insulting you."
Please don't misunderstand, it doesn't mean anything by "other," it's just a simple feeling.
"A person like you doesn't deserve the soul of a duelist, much less the power to hold a deck."
Each word, like a sharp knife tempered with ice, pierced deeply into Ed's heart.
He was already pounding with anger and blood from the defeat, and now he was completely provoked by You Ming's words. His chest heaved violently, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Curled up among the rubble, she didn't even have the strength to curse. All she could do was stare at You Ming with such intense hatred that it was almost tangible.
Looking at his appearance, You Ming chuckled and casually tossed Ed's deck into a pile of rocks nearby.
He raised his hand and unfolded his duel disk, purple light slowly flowing across its surface—a light that could turn the defeated into cards, a method commonly used in dimensional fusion.
Now, he intends to repay them in kind.
When the purple light of the Duel Disk reflected in Ed's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and his blood seemed to freeze instantly.
He was all too familiar with that golden light; he had used it countless times to defeat unarmed ordinary people.
The defeated duelists are transformed into cold, lifeless cards!
At that moment, he felt incredibly thrilled by the other person's fear, which made his blood boil.
He even took pleasure in it, letting his men experience hunting games.
But now, as this fear descended upon him, he truly understood the despair that penetrated to the bone, the suffocating feeling that even his soul was being imprisoned.
The pride he once held in his heart completely crumbled, and his survival instinct made him forget all dignity.
A broken plea escaped his throat: "Wait—wait a minute! I was wrong—I know I was wrong!"
Please—don't turn me into a card—the professor—I can tell you the whole plan—
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by You Ming's icy gaze.
You Ming's voice was devoid of any warmth: "Begging for mercy? When you turned those unarmed ordinary people into cards on the land of the superdimensional dimension, did you ever think about their feelings?"
When you used the power of dueling to wantonly trample on the lives of others, did you never think of their fear? Did you never think of giving them a chance to beg for mercy?
These words struck like a thunderbolt, jolting Ed out of his dazed state of consciousness.
He lay on the ground, staring at the gray ceiling, past scenes flashing through his mind.
The cries of the old men he turned into cards, the terror of the children, the despair of the defeated duelists—
He had always thought that this was just Professor Executive's ARCV project, a grand undertaking to merge dimensions.
Once the plan ends, those people will be able to return to normal, and turning them into cards and letting them swipe around is nothing.
At worst, I can just apologize to them afterwards and offer some compensation.
But only now did he realize that even if his physical body could be restored, the fear etched in his heart could not be erased.
Those lost relatives and friends, those destroyed homes, can never be made up for.
Regret overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, to apologize, to repent, but in the end he only managed to utter a few broken syllables.
The hatred in his eyes faded, leaving only endless regret and despair.
You Ming saw his remorse but remained unmoved.
He raised his hand, and the purple light of the Duel Disk suddenly surged, enveloping Ed entirely.
"Forgiving you is God's business."
Yu Ming's voice was calm. "And my task is to send you to meet God."
The moment the purple light receded, Ed's body turned into specks of light dust, which eventually coalesced into a dark purple card, which slowly fell into You Ming's hand.
The card depicts Ed's defeated state, with lingering regret in his eyes.
You Ming remained outwardly calm, giving the impression that he was merely a hermit master who had done something trivial like stepping on an ant.
However, in reality, he was still incredibly happy at that moment.
"So refreshing! So refreshing! So refreshing!!!!"
He screamed wildly in his heart.
"Back when I watched anime, I saw those bastards who merged dimensions turn ordinary people into cards with indifference, and even shamelessly say that it was just a hunting game."
I wanted to kill these guys first, and then say that!
Although You Ming's academic performance was average, he had the most basic values.
No one, regardless of status or wealth, should have their life taken away by others at will.
Otherwise, what's the point of having laws?
Just like Light Yagami in Death Note.
Although this character has gained a large number of fans thanks to his intelligence and good looks.
But regarding whether he is good or evil, the audience still maintains the basic principle of "evil".
The underlying logic is this.
In You Ming's view, the academy actively launched a war of aggression and turned unarmed civilians into cards.
This group is essentially the same as Light Yagami.
He's just someone who claims to be a "god of the new world".
The other one is simply, "I want to unify dimensions."
However, Yu Ming's expression at that moment left Hayabusa, Kaito, and the other two standing to the side completely silent.
For some reason, they clearly shared the same view as You Ming.
They also felt that the bastards from the Merged Dimension deserved to die.
But seeing Ed's expression just now, it was as if he had empathized with the enemy for a moment.
Hayabusa & Kaito: It must be our imagination!
You Ming put the card away and glanced around.
The Obelisk Legion's reinforcements, Barrett and Ed, were all defeated, and now only one lonely figure remains in the stadium—Serena.
Serena, LP2500
[Moonlight Dancing Cat Princess, ATK2400]
【Moonlight Blue Cat, ATK1600】
【Liuli, LP200】
【Lyrical Ballad - Chorus "Little Glass", ATK2000】
Even if I'm the only one left, I won't let you succeed so easily! My turn!
"Activate the Moonlight Cat Princess's effect!"
Serena roared, and the Moonlight Azure Cat on the field transformed into a silver-white stream of light, merging into the Dancing Cat Princess's body. "Release Moonlight Azure Cat! This card can attack twice this turn, and the opponent's monster's first attack will not be destroyed by battle! Then activate the Spell Card—Moonlight Fragrance!"
A pale purple magical light curtain unfolded above the graveyard, and a silver-white cat-like figure leaped out from the mist. Serena shouted sharply, "Special Summon Moonlight Azure Cat from the graveyard! Revive, Moonlight Azure Cat!"
【Moonlight Blue Cat, ATK1200, LV4】
"Moonlight Blue Cat's Special Summon effect activated! Moonlight Dancing Cat Princess's ATK doubles!"
Silvery moonlight energy surged around the Dancing Cat Princess, making her figure more agile. Her claws gathered moonlight power that could tear everything apart, and her attack power soared rapidly!
