Chapter 405 Determination
With the final match between Xiang Hongye and Arbiter coming to an end, the quarterfinals officially came to an end.

According to the schedule, there will be a short break after the quarterfinals. Just like the first Duel City competition, the quarterfinals will be held in the middle of the journey, but the final stage of the competition after entering the semifinals will be held in a special venue.

That was the Duel Tower that symbolized the severance between Kaiba and his past. He planned to win the title of Duel King and the three mythical god cards in that tower, thereby reaching the top of the world and making a break with his past.

But everyone knows what happened later. The president spent a lot of money to organize the world's largest competition, summoned the holders of the three mythical gods and put the title of Duel King at stake, but in the end all the investment was lost in the game.

God knows how much money the president spent on that competition, but in the end the Duel King was won by Yugi, and the three mythical gods also ran away with Atem, and the president got nothing in the end.

It seems that after that game, President Kaiba has been in a semi-retired state. He said to the public that he would never touch cards again and focus on business, but it is well known that he actually played cards quite a lot later.
The duel ship continued to move forward. However, according to the organizers, the destination was not far away, so the duelists could take a break, eat something, and adjust their decks.

The decisive battle is at hand.

After returning to the room, Judai took out the deck of cards he got from Xiang Hongye, spread out the cards on the table, and looked at them in a daze for a moment.

At least half of these cards were rare cards that were hard to find on the market, which would undoubtedly be a great boost to his civilian heroes. These were exactly the handsome heroes he had always dreamed of, but now that he had them in his hands, he felt a little empty and heavy in his heart.

The door behind him opened. Judai turned around and saw Yugen walking in.

"You Xuan."

"How is Mr. Xiang?" You Xuan asked.

"Well, he is unconscious in the ship's infirmary, and the medical equipment can't find the cause."

Judai didn't say anything else.

But they all knew what that state was. Those who were defeated in Olihagang's barrier only looked like they were still alive physically, but their souls were no longer there.

Defeating the snake god, the Judge himself, is the only way to rescue the sucked souls, as confirmed by DM Atum.

You Xuan glanced at the deck of cards spread out on his desk.

"Mr. Hibiki's deck?"

"Well, the top four are all powerful guys, I have to study and strengthen the deck." Judai nodded, "Besides, now we have to take Mr. Hongye's share to cheer together."

"Okay, I knew you would say that." You Xuan shrugged, "So maybe even if I told you to give up this game, you probably wouldn't listen, right?"

"That's only natural," Judai said, "Mr. Hongye fought to the very end as a duelist. How can I back down in a place like this?"

"I knew it."

You Xuan nodded and handed him a piece of paper.

"What is this?" Judai asked curiously.

"A list of cards I know about the Doma original deck called 'Orichalcum' that the Judge may have used."

You Xuan said.

"Seto Kaiba and I are fully aware of this information. You are probably the only one among the top four who has not seen these cards. If you really face the Judge in the end, the situation may be very unfavorable to you."

Judai took it, opened it and took a look. He couldn't help but feel touched: "You Xuan, you have prepared these a long time ago."

"Don't be too moved, this is just in case." You Xuan said solemnly, "But I think there is a greater possibility that the guy may not intend to use these cards at all. As you saw in the duel with Mr. Xiang Hongye, the Judge may be the type who will use a variety of decks to fight."

"Just like you and Misawa, Yugen?" Judai nodded.

"Well, you can say that." You Xuan said, "Anyway, these are just to be on the safe side, because I think the opponent's strongest family should still be the Olihagang series.

It's just that he will use specific tactics in a duel. If you really face him, you still have to be prepared to face any possible tactics. "

"Yeah, I know." Judai nodded repeatedly.

Seeing him agree so quickly, You Xuan suddenly realized that his instructions might be unnecessary.

Because for Judai, there is no such thing as knowing the opponent's preparations before the battle. No matter what deck the opponent uses, he sticks to his own set, and he will fight back when the enemy comes.

But to be honest, if Judai really faced the Arbiter, You Xuan was not optimistic about the outcome.

Whether in the anime or the manga, Yuki Judai is a typical growing protagonist. But now Judai is only halfway through his first year, and he has neither the Masked Hero of the late manga nor the New Space of the late anime. The power of the Overlord has not yet awakened, and Sister Yu is still wandering in the sky. It can be said that he has not even got a trump card yet.

I just got the high-level hero deck entrusted by Xiang Hongye, which is considered to be a preliminary reinforcement. But if I want to face an opponent of the level of the Judge in this state,
To be honest, You Xuan felt that even if he used cheats, his chances of winning would be very slim.

But it is obvious that Judai will not listen to advice. You Xuan has said everything he can say as a friend. Now it depends on Judai himself.

"By the way, just now in the duel, the Judge seemed to have done something to you." You Xuan asked, "Did you feel anything was wrong?"

Judai frowned and stared out the window in a trance for a moment.

"I can't tell."

"Can't tell?"

"It felt very strange." He pondered his words, "I saw a lot of fragmented images, and it felt like... some kind of memory.

But strangely, I don’t remember having those memories.”

Judai remembered something.

"By the way, I also heard someone shouting my name over and over again. 'Ten generations ten generations', it kept shouting, it felt like it was coming from a very far away place."

You Xuan thought about it for a moment.

This means it could be Judai's deleted childhood memory, or it could be his past life.

But no matter which memory it was, it should be related to Yubel. The one who called his name was most likely Yubel.

In the anime, Yubel once said that she was still able to receive feedback from Judai when she was just launched into space. Even though they were far away from Earth, the connection between them as master and servant was not broken.

She kept sending messages to Judai, and Judai had nightmares every night at that time.

Until Kaiba's technology deleted Judai's memories and cut off the connection, Judai completely forgot about Yubel's existence.

Could it be that the Judge's interference with his memory has caused signs of restoring his connection with Yubel?
