Chapter 259 The Winner's Awakening
"The winner is decided!"

The huge stadium and the packed auditorium looked like a surging ocean. The referee took the microphone and announced loudly and passionately.

"The winner of the finals, the new Duel King, is born! His name is Fujiki Yugen!"

The applause and cheers seemed to ignite the entire space. Before the referee finished speaking, the venue was already boiling with applause like thunder, instantly drowning the space. The audience stood up one after another, waving flags with the winner's name printed on them.

You Xuan stood in the middle of the stadium and suddenly felt that the lights were a bit dazzling. All the cheers and shouts around him, the sudden supreme glory that symbolized reaching the pinnacle of this world, did not bring him excitement at first, but confusion.

Wait a minute, how did I get here?
Why do I suddenly feel like I missed an entire season?

You Xuan frowned.

He remembered that he and the president and Ameruda had infiltrated the company called Abiak. They successfully entered the sewer system, hacked the direct elevator with Keipi's remote assistance, and entered the server room.
And then it seems like we came here?
Suddenly, he was the duel king.

Not only that, he soon realized that the amount of money in his bank account was so huge that it was mind-boggling, he had a garage full of luxury cars, and more luxury homes than he could count.

For example, the nearest one is a manor located on the outskirts of Tongshiye, the duel capital.

Walking in this huge manor, magnificent buildings, looking at the exquisite gardens, beautiful sculptures and artworks, he suddenly felt like a spectator from a first-person perspective, as if he was looking at his own life in some other world line, a self who had won everything through duels and reached the pinnacle.

"Master Youxuan, the bath water is ready."

Looking back, I found that there was actually a little maid in this manor. Her skirt was light and flowing, and her white silk stockings fit tightly to her slender and well-proportioned legs, revealing her delicate collarbone and mysterious and magnificent ravine, as soft as a cloud.

"Do you want to take a bath now, my Lord?"

The little maid smiled and started to untie her belt.

"Wait a minute." You Xuan raised his eyebrows and gestured to stop him, "What are you going to do?"

The little maid blinked her eyes and said calmly, "Please have some seafood, sir."

You Xuan: “.”

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control if it continued like this, You Xuan coughed.

"silence."

As soon as the words were spoken, the picture froze instantly.

The huge mansion, the dreamy little maid, everything was distorted before my eyes. The colors were blurred and chaotic, and the originally clear outlines began to blur.

Immediately afterwards, everything seemed to have turned into a shattered mirror, torn into countless pieces. All the vivid details disappeared in an instant, replaced by chaos and darkness, as if in an endless void.

There was only a long corridor in front of me, and I didn't know where it led to.

The figure of the Silent Magician appeared beside him.

"That illusion just now?" You Xuan frowned slightly, "Is it the enemy's ability similar to illusion?"

Silently shook his head.

You Xuan looked down at his right hand. At first he felt something was wrong, but soon he seemed to understand something.

"I see." You Xuan murmured, "This similar feeling, this state is..."

Virtual body.

This was not in reality, but a digital state similar to that in a linked system. This was a technical principle similar to the black technology of the Seahorse Company. He did not know when his mind was accelerated to a certain artificially created virtual world, and everything he had just seen was a data projection.

And now, with the help of the power of the elves, he broke through the false image shown to him by the other party, but he was still in this virtual space, just seeing a deeper level of the scene.

You Xuan looked down at the road extending out beneath his feet.

"I see. An invitation to us." He chuckled and looked at Silent. "Well, do you think we should accept this challenge?"

The Silent Magician nodded to him and raised his staff to his chest to indicate that there was no problem.

So You Xuan strode forward along this dark passage. Soon he found that there seemed to be mirror-like structures on both sides of the road, and as he walked forward, distorted images began to emerge.

You Xuan recognized them. He knew everyone in the mirror.

For example, the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

His face was filled with hatred and resentment, and he glared at You Xuan: "My resurrection match, my chance. You took away everything from me!"

"Oh."

You Xuan responded casually, and walked past him without even looking back, leaving Long Qi behind.

Ryuzaki: “You @#%&!”

Then there was Shel from New Doma, also with a face full of hatred: "How does it feel to take away my most important deck, even my life, and step on countless corpses to become the winner?"

"Not bad." You Xuan shrugged, "Your card is quite useful."

Sher: “What the hell are you?”

But he couldn't finish his words because You Xuan didn't stop at all and continued to walk forward, leaving him behind.

You Xuan quickly realized that the people appearing in this mirror were all opponents he had defeated before.

Some of them accused him of taking everything away from them, some accused him of building his happiness on their pain in the duel, and some said he would do anything to win.
But You Xuan just smiled and continued moving forward.

When he reached a certain place, he stopped and said calmly to somewhere in the darkness: "You can stop this meaningless exhibition.

You should realize that these are all my defeated opponents, right? You don't expect to scare me with a group of opponents I have already defeated, right? "

There was a brief silence.

Then, a pale blue light emerged from the darkness. The data streams converged and formed a human figure wearing a black windbreaker, walking out slowly.

Judging from his appearance alone, he actually looks a bit like President Kaiba.

"I've read your file and understand your situation, Fujiki Yugen." The man said calmly, "At least from the recorded duels, you seem to have never lost. Although the intelligence files have already given you a high evaluation, I would say that you are still an underestimated duelist."

He paused and narrowed his eyes. “But in your quest for victory, you have never really looked your opponent in the face and respected him as a duelist.”

You Xuan understood. What this person said was probably similar to the theory of Kaiser Ryo in the early stage of the animation. Kaiser's duel always took respect for the opponent as the first goal. He regarded it as the spirit of the duelist. Until he met Ed, he even regarded this as more important than victory itself.

However, even Caesar gave up such naive persistence after experiencing the beatings of society in the professional league.

You Xuan chuckled.

"After all, the duel was designed from the beginning to be a ritual with only one winner." You Xuan said calmly, "You can call it cruel or unscrupulous.

But at the end of the day, only the winners stand here.”

He paused and spoke calmly.

"Of course, it is also the responsibility of the victor to bear the resentment of the loser. This is something that every duelist should be aware of when stepping onto the battlefield."

He said this with a mocking smile.

"I don't know who you are, but if you think you can shake me by bringing out a bunch of defeated opponents, isn't that a little funny?"

The man narrowed his eyes and was silent for two seconds.

"I see." He nodded and said, "It seems that I underestimated you. Fujiki Yugen, it is indeed rare to find a duelist with your means and talent, who is also so determined and has no hesitation. It seems that Kaiba Seto may be attracted by more than just your talent in dueling."

As he spoke, he raised his arm, and the data stream transformed into a duel disk in his hand.

"Then let me introduce myself again. My name is 'Delta', and my father asked me to capture you here." He said, "Since you won't respond, then you should pass through here as a duelist."
