Chapter 418 Toward the future
The earth was torn apart, as if a force from the deepest part of the earth surged out, shaking every inch of space.

The air was twisted, and the temperature rose sharply, as if the dormant soul of the volcano had been awakened. The huge cracks were like hideous wounds, spewing out endless lava torrents, like thick blood under the setting sun, and like the never-extinguished flames in the depths of hell.

And in the midst of the hot stuff, a huge hand reached out and slapped the seahorse's field hard.

The rolling lava swallowed up the torture giant and the invincible white dragon. Even the noble invincible resistance could not stop the invincible lava demon.

In an instant, the president's Ultimate Dragon was eaten up. Then, the burning Hanhan peeked out from the lava and came to this side of the field. He caught a glimpse of the president who was locked in the iron cage, and a simple smile appeared on his abstract face.

There is even a hint of "Please give me more advice"
Seahorse: "."

[Lava Demon, attack power 3000]

Everyone in the audience was speechless for a moment.

how to say
You Xuan's playing of this card really seems to have fired him up. Just like a traditional duelist, he trusts his deck, draws the key cards, and changes the world by drawing cards with miracles.

However, the difference is that other people's lucky draws are all used to make a gorgeous big monster comeback. Especially in this situation, shouldn't it be "Since all effects are invalid, just destroy it head-on", and then make a big monster with an attack power of 5,000 or 6,000 for the Ultimate Dragon to chop down?
As the atmosphere got to this point, this guy suddenly pulled out a Lava Demon
It’s hard for ordinary people to say how to evaluate it.

"Tsk, Malik's monster?"

The seahorse hummed, but his mood was relatively stable.

As expected of the president, if it were any other Duelist in this world, they would probably have started to roll up their sleeves after being eaten like this by the Ultimate Dragon.
But it's not over yet.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Take Over 5', and send the top five cards of your deck to the Graveyard." (Original card)
You Xuan draws five cards and sends them to the grave one by one.

"One of the monsters sent to the Graveyard is 'Scholarship Spirit'." You Xuan said, "If this card is sent to the Graveyard, draw another card from your deck." (Original card)
He drew another card.

"Then activate the magic card 'Owner's Mark'." You Xuan said, "Control of all monsters on the field returns to their original owners.

Come back, Lava Demon!"

After eating and drinking, the Lava Demon patted his butt and jumped directly to You Xuan's field on the opposite side.

Seahorse: "."

"A direct attack from the Lava Demon God." You Xuan said, "Demon God Volcano Impact!"

The Lava Demon's palm fell, bringing with it an overwhelming scorching flame. The seahorse, who had been eaten clean, took the Lava Demon's blow firmly, and his clothes fluttered in the flames.

[Seahorse, LP 4000 → LP 1000]

"Face a card and the round is over." You Xuan said.

"Hit it!" Judai was the first to jump for joy, "As expected of Youxuan's Soul Lava Demon God, he's really strong!"

Marufuji Ryo had an even more complicated expression.

Well, how should I say it?
You can't say he's not great.

I just feel very complicated.

Facing You Xuan and the lava demon on his field that seemed to be burning, Kaiba hesitated for a moment but did not draw a card immediately.

After a few seconds, he suddenly said.

"I haven't competed in years, chased accolades, or anything like that that I used to be passionate about."

He raised his head, looked at You Xuan, and said lightly.

"But now I'm back, back to this arena, just like the starting point that year. Still in this duel city, still on this stage. Do you know why?" You Xuan shook his head.

He really didn't know.

Back then, the title of "Duel King" was something that President Kaiba had always dreamed of. He challenged it more than once and failed more than once, but he became more and more courageous, with a momentum of winning it at all costs, as if this honor was his ultimate goal in life.

But with the departure of Atem and the retirement of Yugi Muto, this title seemed to be within his reach for so many years, but he gave it up.

Based on You Xuan's understanding, he could only guess that the president felt that since he had never defeated the true strongest, even if he obtained this title, it was just an empty name. He might be recognized by the world, but not by himself.

But he didn't understand why the president had decided to make a comeback.

"That irritating guy once told me that the future won't visit those who have no past."

Kaiba closed his eyes and smiled as he lost himself in memories.

"It's really ironic. To me, all the bright future lies ahead, and the past is just a trace of the past. The past that has passed is meaningless to me.

Who knew that one day I would be stuck in the past and unable to move forward? "

Keiping was a little absent-minded: "Brother."

As Kaiba's biological brother and the person who knows him best, Keipi seems to be able to vaguely sense the beginning of his brother's transformation.

It seemed to have started with his insistence on going to the underworld to face Atum.

After returning, Kaiba never mentioned what happened there, not even to Keipi. No one knows what happened after Kaiba went to the underworld, whether he met Atum, or who won the duel.

Or maybe something happened in that duel, and the opponent conveyed something to him or said something to him through the duel, which stimulated him to make changes.

Yes, ever since Atem left, hasn't Kaiba been stuck in the past and unable to move forward?

He couldn't let go of that guy, nor could he let go of the endless victory and defeat. His pursuits and ambitions were once filled with the future, so the past was meaningless to him. But with the departure of that person, the future suddenly seemed to be eclipsed, and the future he had been pursuing so hard suddenly became meaningless.

Only after returning from the underworld did he seem to have found his direction again.

"I have made an appointment with that guy to be a real duelist. No matter where the road leads, I will never stop." Kaiba said solemnly, "If there is a god blocking the way ahead, then we will defeat the god and continue to move forward.

And now, I have surpassed even God! To face that abominable guy once again. And next time.
I will also be the Duel King!"

He placed his fingers on the deck.

“——Draw a card!”

The moment the card was drawn, the deck seemed to burst into endless azure light, as if terrifying energy was released simply by drawing the card!
You Xuan frowned slightly.

The president felt like he had won something incredible.

coming.

Kaiba clearly had this expression on his face, with a confident smile on his lips.

It was as if this time when he drew the card, he once again firmly grasped the victory in his hands.

He slowly raised his head.

"Next, you will see the arrival of the final and strongest Blue-Eyes in history, surpassing the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
