A burst of white light erupted, and an elegant silver-white dragon spread its wings (attack power 3000). Naba's fist was easily crushed by the dragon's claws, and Yuki's health dropped to 3200.
The girl is sent to the Graveyard, and 1 Dragon Soul Counter is placed there. Shigure strokes the crystal on the Duel Disk. During my End Phase, I activate my second face-down card, [Dragon Rebirth]! Remove 2 counters and Special Summon [Blue-Eyes Girl] from the Graveyard!
The girl in white returned to the battlefield, but Yuuki noticed that the shadowy figure in her Duel Disk crystal was writhing more violently. My turn, draw! The newly drawn [Saiyan Near-Death Breakthrough] gave him a flash of inspiration.
Activate the Spell Card [Saiyan Training]! Draw cards based on the number of monsters on the field. Yuuki's deck spat out two new cards, summoning [Saiyan Raditz] (ATK 1500), then activate [Saiyan Near-Death Breakthrough]! Send Raditz and Nappa to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Super Saiyan Son Goku] from the Deck!
As golden light bursts forth and the golden-haired warrior (attack power 2500) appears, Shigure suddenly presses his temple: These images are... Kakarot?
"You know Sun Wukong?" Youji stopped operating in surprise.
Battle phase! Suddenly, as if stung, Shigure shouted, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks Son Goku! Destructive Explosive Gale Bullet!"
Activate Son Goku's effect! Yuuki responds quickly, Special Summoning Saiyan Son Gohan from his Deck as a substitute when attacked! Young Gohan (ATK 2000) shatters in a silvery flame, and Yuuki's Life Points drop to 2700.
However, at the end of the damage step, Yuuki can send the card to the graveyard and add [Saiyan's Wrath] from the deck to his hand!
Shigure's crystal began to glow red: My turn, draw. She looked at the newly drawn [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], her fingers trembling almost imperceptibly. She activated [Cost Reduction], discarding the [Blue-Eyes Fairy Dragon] from her hand, and Special Summoned [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon]!
The two-headed white dragon (attack power 4000) born from the chaotic vortex shook the entire card hall, but Yuki noticed that Shigure's face had turned pale and black threads were spreading in his golden right eye.
Chaos Extreme Dragon's effect activated! The voice of Shigure suddenly becomes louder, destroying all cards on your field! Chaos Twin Spin!
Activate the trap [Saiyan's Unyielding]! Yuuki flips over the face-down card from the previous turn to protect Goku from being destroyed by the effect! The golden-haired warrior struggles to survive in the energy storm.
Battle! The Chaos Dragon attacks Sun Wukong! As Shigure waves his hand, the metal fingertip flashes with a cold light, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks directly!
The double dragon breath reduced Yuki's Life Points to 500, but a smile crept onto his lips: "Activate the effect of [Saiyan Near Death Break] from the Graveyard! When Life Points are below 1000, you can Special Summon [Super Saiyan God Son Goku] from outside the Deck!"
A crimson light shot into the sky, and the shockwave from the red-haired warrior's arrival shattered Shigure's sunglasses (attack power?). The attack power of a Super Saiyan God... Yuki wiped the blood from his forehead. It was the difference in the number of dragons and Saiyans in both graveyards multiplied by 1000!
Shigure's graveyard contains 5 Dragon cards, Yuki's graveyard contains 4 Saiyan cards, and the Red-Haired Warrior's attack power is displayed as 1000. What can such attack power do? Shigure sneered, but suddenly coughed, black blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Activate the Quick-Attack Magic [Saiyan Kaioken]! Yuuki plays his last card, doubling the attack power of Super Saiyan God! And he can attack twice this turn!
The red-haired warrior's aura turned crimson (Attack Power 2000). First strike! Destroy the blue-eyed girl! The girl vanished in the divine impact, Shigure groaned, and cracks appeared in the crystal.
"Second strike! Direct attack on the player!" Yuki shouted. The red-haired warrior transformed into a streak of light, piercing through Shigure's chest, but at the very moment of impact, the dark shadow within her crystal suddenly materialized and blocked her path.
Shigure's health points dropped to zero, and the dark figure vanished after letting out a piercing shriek. As she staggered backward, Yuuki caught her, the black threads in his heterochromatic eyes fading: So... this is what purification feels like...
The lights in the card room suddenly returned to normal, and the onlookers looked around blankly as if they had just woken from a dream. Shigure weakly grabbed Yuuki's collar: "Take me away...those things...they'll find out soon..."
The neon lights in the back alley cast dappled reflections on the rain-soaked ground. Shi Yu leaned against the fire escape ladder, panting heavily, the collar of her black sweater rising and falling with her breath: "Three months ago, I dug up that crystal in Egypt...it promised me power surpassing that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."
Yuki noticed that the tattoo under her collarbone was glowing: That was... the seven stars of the dragon?
It planted something in my body. Shigure suddenly ripped open her collar, revealing faint black dragon scales near her heart, which would spread whenever she used a dragon card... until just now... She pressed down on Yuki's hand, which was resting on her chest, and said, "Your Saiyan energy has purified some of the pollution."
Yuki felt an abnormally high temperature and heartbeat in his palm: it needed to be completely eliminated.
"There are conditions." Shiyu suddenly leaned closer, the scent of plum wine brushing against Yuki's lips. "Win three times before the next full moon... with your most authentic deck." As she stepped back, she slipped a room key into Yuki's pocket. "Ten o'clock tonight, bring your Sun Wukong."
As the clock on the top floor of the library struck seven, You Ji was staring at the information on his computer screen—Shi Yuling, the chief card designer of the International Illusion Society, disappeared three months ago while on a research trip in Egypt. In the photo, she was wearing an archaeological team sun hat, and the strange tattoo on her neck was not yet there.
The phone vibrated; a video from an unknown number showed Shigure kneeling in the center of a card array in a dimly lit room, the phantom of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon struggling in agony behind her. Text then appeared: [Round One, A Battle of Truth, the Stake is Memory]
When Yuki arrived at the hotel, the door was ajar. Shiyu had changed into a white bathrobe, her wet hair draped over her bare shoulders, but what was most striking was the three-dimensional duel arena floating in front of her—an energy matrix composed of seven dragon cards.
The rules of the dark game. Her bathrobe hem revealed scaly ankles; the loser would lose all memories of the person most important to them. As the duel disk unfolded, the bathrobe collar slipped down, revealing even more black dragon scales. Are you afraid?
Yuki's Duel Disk automatically responded: I'm betting my memories of Sun Wukong.
The first round began in silence. Shigure's tactics were ten times more ruthless than during the day; the continuous attacks of [Abyssal White Dragon] and [Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon] left Yuuki's health on the verge of collapse within five rounds. But when Yuuki summoned [Super Saiyan Blue Vegito], her expression suddenly twisted: Stop...stop...
Black veins bulged on her neck. Yuki decisively activated [Saiyan Bonds], splitting Vegito into Goku and Vegeta. Shigure's pain immediately lessened, but the situation on the field reversed. When the final blow of [Super Saiyan God] pierced through her defenses, the first dragon scale shattered and fell off with a snap.
You deliberately... Shigure collapsed, panting, into the card array, weakening her power?
Yuki caught her falling body: A real duel shouldn't hurt the player.
Shi Yu suddenly tilted her head back and kissed him, the taste of rust between her lips. As they parted, her fingertips traced Yu Ji's bloodied lips: "The second round's stakes are doubled... this time it's about emotions."
The second game unfolded beside a bathtub strewn with cards. Each attack from Shigure's summoned Blue-Eyes Dragon cracked the bathroom mirror. Yuuki noticed tears in her eyes, but the attack became even more ferocious. When Super Saiyan 4 Goku tore apart the dragon's wings, Shigure suddenly choked up: Why does this card... make my heart ache?
Yuki grabbed her trembling hand: "Because you are rediscovering the feeling of being sealed away."
More dragon scales peeled off as Shigure wept. She tore open her bathrobe, revealing her scale-covered back: "The final round... I'm betting everything..." As Yuki wrapped her in a towel, he felt an abnormal heartbeat: "You've been corrupted by the Dark Game."
Then purify me completely. Shigure bit her finger and smeared the blood on the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], using your strongest deck...
The final match took place on the large bed at midnight. Each roar from Shigure's summoned [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] shattered the crystal pendants of the chandelier. When Yuuki's [Ultra Instinct Son Goku] appeared in its perfect form, her entire dragon scales began to resonate. In the instant the two god-tier cards collided, Shigure screamed and tore open her bathrobe—the core of the dragon scales at her heart revealed a pattern of millennium blocks entwined with shadows.
So that's how it is... Yuki suddenly understood everything. You are the chosen vessel.
The final, all-out attack of the Super Saiyan God not only shattered the Ultimate Dragon but also forcibly ripped the shadow from Shigure's body. Before losing consciousness, she clung tightly to Yuuki: "Don't look...at my ugliest self..."
Chapter 365 Broly
As the morning sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, Yuji noticed that the girl in his arms had become lighter—Shiyu's tattoo on her back had vanished without a trace, leaving only seven small star-shaped scars below her collarbone. As her eyelashes fluttered, her heterochromatic eyes had turned a uniform amber color.
I had a long dream... Shigure's voice returned to its sweet clarity; in the dream, you saved me with cards. She stroked Yuki's Duel Disk, and now I can see... there really are souls within these cards.
Yuuki's phone lit up at that moment. The countdown screen automatically switched to a satellite map—at the center of a massive array composed of seven dragon ruins and five Saiyan totems worldwide was the Kaiba Park in Domino Town. Upon seeing this, Shigure suddenly covered her mouth: There...thirty levels underground...hides the original stone slab of the [Obelisk the Tormentor].
The moment their fingers intertwined, Yuuki's deck emitted a faint, resonant glow. Shigure smiled and placed his Duel Disk on her wrist: "Looks like you need a partner familiar with Dragon decks?" Her kiss landed on the newly appeared [Twin Souls Bond] card—the card art depicted the red-haired Saiyan and the silver-haired dragon girl fighting back-to-back.
The Seahorse Park, shrouded in morning mist, resembled a steel castle. Only cleaners were sweeping the gates before the park opened. Shigure pulled Yuki into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras and pulled a pure black key from her wallet: the Universal Key to the International Illusion Society, granting access to the twentieth underground floor. She lightly tapped the side of Yuki's duel disk three times with her fingertip. "The remaining ten floors require your Saiyan energy to activate the elevator."
The employee passageway behind the carousel was deeper than expected. Fluorescent paint outlined the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the walls, gradually transforming into Saiyan symbols as they went deeper. When the elevator stopped at B20, Yuki's Duel Disk suddenly emitted a rapid beeping sound—a hidden rune-like keyboard appeared next to the floor buttons.
Bloodline verification was indeed required. Shigure placed his hand on the keyboard. As the blue light scanned, the elevator suddenly plummeted, and the feeling of weightlessness caused the two to collide. In his dizziness, Yuki smelled the jasmine scent in Shigure's hair, as well as a gradually intensifying ancient aroma.
The bronze doors of B30 were engraved with reliefs depicting the battle between the Giant Warrior and the Super Saiyan. Shigure suddenly pressed his temple: This scene... appeared in my corrupted dreams... Before he could finish speaking, the doors opened automatically, and the rumble of machinery echoed from the darkness.
At the center of the matrix formed by giant holographic projectors, three fragmented stone slabs floated. Yuki recognized the one on the far left as [Obelisk the Tormentor], but the two on the right made his blood freeze—the ancient depictions of [Super Saiyan Broly] and [Ultra Instinct Son Goku] were clearly Saiyan versions of mythical beasts.
Finally, the spacetime anomaly has arrived. A man in a white lab coat emerges from the shadows, the reflective lenses unable to conceal the millennia-old wisdom wheel in his left eye. "I am Dr. Claude, the chief researcher for Seto Kaiba."
Shi Yu instinctively stepped in front of You Ji: You knew we were coming?
From the moment this girl triggered the Dragon Pact in Egypt, everything was calculated. Cloud pressed a button on the console, and the three stone tablets began to project interwoven light and shadow. Aren't you curious why the Saiyan deck can fight against the God Cards?
The holographic projection revealed a war scene from five thousand years ago: the Saiyan army clashed with the Divine Beasts in the desert skies, and the commander was none other than a figure resembling Yami Yugi wearing the Millennium Puzzle. Suddenly, a strange voice played from Yugi's Duel Disk: "...The genetically modified soldier project has gone out of control...it must be sealed..."
Saiyans were originally biological weapons created by the ancient Egyptians to fight against the Mythical Beasts. Cloud typed on the keyboard to bring up the DNA map, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was the only pure-blooded dragon race that could rival them. The Time and Space Administration erased this history, until you—he pointed to Yuuki, accidentally activating the dormant Saiyan genes.
Shigure suddenly ripped open his collar, revealing seven glowing scars: "So my purification..."
Dragons and Saiyans are two sides of the same coin. Claude walked towards the central control panel. "Now, please assist in completing the final awakening ritual." The floor beneath his feet suddenly became transparent, revealing a massive device a hundred meters below—a sphere surrounded by twelve card slots, four of which were inlaid with glowing Saiyan cards.
Yuuki's Duel Disk alarm pierced his eardrums: "[Time-Space Weapon Omni-King System activation program detected]." Shigure immediately threw out three cards: activating the Trap Card "Divine Shield"! But the light barrier was neutralized by an invisible force field before it could reach Cloud.
"It's no use. This room prohibits all card effects." Cloud's Millennium Wheel of Wisdom began to spin, but he needed them to voluntarily surrender the core of their decks. He snapped his fingers, and Shigure suddenly knelt in agony, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon tattoo reappearing on his back.
Yuji supported the trembling Shiyu and noticed that her amber pupils had turned back to their strange color: What did you do to her?
It was merely a reactivation of the Dragon Pact. Claude smiled and displayed a tablet showing live updates from Seahorse Park—the crowds were queuing as usual, but each person's feet emitted a thread-like shadow, and with every minute of delay, more people were converted into energy. What is your choice?
Suddenly, Shigure bit her finger and smeared the blood on Yuki's Duel Disk: "Dual Soul Link... I'll teach you the power of the Dragon Clan..." Her blood droplet condensed into the phantom of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon above the deck.
Cloud's expression changed drastically: Impossible! Dragon and Saiyan genes should be incompatible... His words were interrupted by an explosion. A huge hole was torn open in the ceiling, and Androids 17 and 18 fell from the sky, but their Orichalcos Gems had turned dark red.
Police have detected an illegal spacetime experiment. The voice of number 17 is mechanically cold and has been erased according to Article 13 of the Administration's regulations.
Claude burst into laughter: "Let's see who the real outlaw is!" He pressed a button, and beams of light suddenly shot from the three stone slabs towards the android. The gem on Android 18's chest shattered, revealing the writhing black substance inside.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yuki scooped up Shigure and rushed towards the side door. Behind them came Claude's shrill scream: "Grab them! System activation requires dual authentication from both the Dragon Clan and the Saiyan!"
The ventilation ducts reeked of engine oil. Shiyu's body temperature was abnormally high. She whispered in Yuki's ear: "B32...and a backup control room..." Her fingers traced some kind of rune on Yuki's chest, "Activate it with my blood...and see the truth..."
At the end of the pipe was an old, dusty machine room. When Yu's blood dripped into the console's recess, the entire wall transformed into a transparent display screen—showing twelve glowing points around the Earth forming a three-dimensional array. Yuki's Duel Disk simultaneously projected a holographic map: seven dragon ruins and five newly appeared Saiyan totems formed a perfect dodecahedron.
Spacetime locking completion rate 83%... Shiyu deciphers the flashing hieroglyphs, and when all twelve anchor points are activated...
Yu Ji suddenly covered her mouth. A mechanical voice from outside the door came: "Heat source confirmed, target in the server room."
Shigure pulled two cards from her deck and handed them to Yuuki: [Fusion Release] and [Dragon's Mirror], which would temporarily disrupt them. Her heterochromatic eyes flickered in the darkness. "I'll distract the pursuers; you must destroy the main control system."
No! Your condition—
Shigure silenced Yuki's protest with a kiss, transferring something warm into his mouth. Suddenly, dragon script appeared on Yuki's retina: 【Life Link Established... Sharing the Dragon's Blessing...】 Now we are true partners. The moment she leaped out of the server room, the phantom of a blue-eyed white dragon enveloped her.
Explosions and dragon roars echoed down the corridor. Yuki forced himself to turn to the control panel, only to find that the interface required dual authentication—Saiyan ki and dragon bloodline. When he touched both authentication plates simultaneously, excruciating pain shot through his body like an electric current, and countless fragments of memories flashed through his vision:
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ····
Five thousand years ago, on a desert battlefield, Saiyan warriors and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Knight fought side-by-side against the Shadow Legion... When Planet Vegeta exploded, surviving Saiyan babies were stuffed into a space capsule... In the modern-day town of Domino, Seto Kaiba stands on a Saiyan stone slab, gazing at the starry sky...
The mechanical voice announcing "Authentication Successful" startled him awake. The main screen displayed the countdown to the Omni-King System, showing 01:23:45 remaining. Just as Yuki was about to initiate the emergency stop procedure, the entire room suddenly shook violently—the surveillance footage showed Cloud fusing three stone tablets in the main control room, while Android 17 and 18's bodies twisted and deformed, transforming into two mechanical three-headed dragons shrouded in black mist.
Yuuki! Can you hear me? Shigure's voice came through the Duel Disk, accompanied by the sounds of intense fighting. Cloud was trying to force the system to activate using a Homunculus as a sacrifice! There was only one way to stop him—
Her suggestion was cut off by a jarring interruption. Yuki watched the countdown on the screen steadily decrease, then suddenly noticed her deck was glowing. On the topmost card, [Super Saiyan God Son Goku], the warrior's eyes had transformed into Shigure's heterochromatic pupils.
...... . ...
I understand... Yuuki inserted the entire deck into the console slot, creating a dual soul connection, right?
The system suddenly popped up a red warning: [Dragon/Saiyan fusion gene detected... Meets the final protocol activation conditions...] The entire B30 level began to collapse, and Yuki saw a suffocating sight as he fell—Cloud's body was merging with the stone slab, gradually turning into a half-human, half-snake monster; while Shigure was completely enveloped by the phantom of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, fighting against two mechanical three-headed dragons.
Yuuki's Duel Disk automatically unfolded into its ultimate form, with twelve card slots arranged in a wheel. He heard Shigure's voice resound directly in his mind: Now! Summon our Bond Monsters!
"Fusion Summon!" Yuuki and Shigure shouted simultaneously from afar. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Super Saiyan God merged in a dazzling display of light, giving birth to the [Dragon God Warrior - Ultimate Blue-Eyes], wielding dual lightsabers and an energy ball, severing the connection between Cloud and the stone tablet in a single strike.
No! My ultimate... Cloud's scream was swallowed by the explosion. Yuki lunged at Shigure in the blinding light, and the two were blasted into the closing spacetime rift by the shockwave.
The soft touch of grass awakened Yuki. He opened his eyes and saw Shigure fast asleep in his arms, her heterochromatic eyes now a warm amber. All around him was an endless forest of cards—every leaf was a spinning magic card, and the tree trunks were carved with reliefs of Duel Monsters.
Welcome to the Labyrinth of the Mind. A familiar voice came from above. Young Son Goku sat cross-legged on a card in the [House of Spirit and Time], munching on Senzu Beans—the place where the consciousnesses of all duelists converged. He blinked, "But your situation is a bit special..."
Shigure suddenly woke up, his first instinct being to touch his collarbone—the seven star scars had transformed into tiny Dragon Ball tattoos. On Yuuki's duel disk, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon emblem appeared, and a new card lay quietly at the top of his deck: [Eternal Bond - Shigure Yuuki].
Cloud's plan was only half complete. Goku jumped down and patted the two on the shoulders. "The twelve time-space anchors have been activated, but the Omni-King System has been transformed into new power by you." He pointed to the glowing door in the distance. "The question now is—which time-space do we want to return to?"
Yuki and Shigure held hands tightly. The Card Forest began to collapse, countless fragments of memory streaking across the sky like shooting stars. In the instant they passed through the portal, Yuki's last sight was of the real world's Kaiba Park—on the roller coaster, a figure resembling Seto Kaiba was watching the direction they had disappeared in, holding half a Saiyan Stone Tablet in his hand.
Chapter 366 Eternal Bond
The neon lights of the Seahorse Park blurred into indistinct patches of color in the rain. Yuki sat up abruptly, finding Shiyu lying on his chest, their hands still intertwined. Tourists hurried past with umbrellas, seemingly oblivious to the two young people who had appeared out of nowhere.
"We're back?" Shigure's voice trembled slightly, and the seven Dragon Ball tattoos on her collarbone glowed faintly. Yuuki reached for his waist; the Duel Disk was gone, but a warm card had appeared in his jeans pocket—the artwork for "Eternal Bond: Shigure Yuuki" shimmered strangely in the rain.
An explosion-like sound came from afar. On the roller coaster track, a streak of blue lightning was spiraling upwards at an impossible angle. Yuji squinted and saw the silver-haired man standing on the roof of the car—his long white trench coat fluttered in the sea breeze, and the Millennium Block hanging on his chest reflected a cold light.
