"Quick Play Spell Card activates [Fusion Release], I want to release the fusion of [Ancestor Dragon] on my field!"
The scarred ancient dragon's huge body was split into two.
The two normal monsters that serve as the materials for the ancient dragon fusion, Yoyo and Volcano Rat, returned to Aisha's field separately.
“Hahahahaha.” Aisha on the dark side laughed, “Knowing that the Proto-Dragon had no chance of winning, you simply turned it back into a small fish. What’s the difference between you and admitting defeat?”
"Shut up!"
"Ok?"
The tone was exactly the same as the one used by Black Aisha in the previous round, which made the girl, who was dyed black by despair, slightly stunned.
"Putting your faith in revenge and despair is not true growth and becoming stronger. The end of revenge will only be endless emptiness. And I will never lose to myself who has nothing!"
Aisha drew out the key card for reversal and smashed it angrily on the ground.
Black Aisha retorted: "You said I have nothing? I have always been protected by others. I am weak, so I can never defeat the power of despair!"
"True strength is the power born from protecting important things and important people! This is the true fighting method for weak monsters. This is also what the most important person who has always protected me taught me!"
"——Equip the magic card to activate [Jewelry of Downfall]!"
The Miracle Equipment Card, which is exclusively for weak monsters, the Jewelry that Opens the Golden Eyes, equips all the possibilities of a counterattack on Youyou, who is Special Summoned in Attack Mode after the Fusion is released.
“I let Youyou equip the [Jewelry of Overthrow] and then fight the God of Despair!”
[Effect of the Jewelry Equipment Magic Card on the lower monster: Only Normal Monsters can equip it. When fighting a monster with a higher level than the equipped monster, the equipped monster's attack power will only increase by the level difference × 500 when calculating damage.]
A despairing level gap.
The God of Despair has 12 stars, and Youyou has 1 star.
There is a difference of 11 stars.
"Bakana!" A look of fear instantly appeared on the face of the dark side Aisha.
Aixia raised her arm and pointed at the pure white tofu block on her field that was expanding wildly.
"The level difference is 11 levels. According to the effect of [Jewelry of the Lower and the Upper], Youyou's attack power will increase by 11×500=5500 points!"
[Youyou ATK: 300 → 5800]
The Gigantamaxed Yunyun, which was comparable to the God of Despair, was the second monster that was so large that it penetrated from the underground of the academy to the surface, leaving everyone who saw this scene dumbfounded.
An exaggerated scene that I wouldn’t even dare to see in my dreams.
The square tofu block Youyou with a wise expression swelled to the same size as the God of Despair. No, it was even bigger than the God of Despair.
Who is engaging in such a dangerous duel?
Teacher Ailin, who asked this question, seemed to have already gotten the answer without anyone else answering.
On that day, even God felt the fear of being dominated by a giant YoYo.
"Even if you have despairing attack power, even if you have despairing resistance, you can't take on Youyou's attack. This is how a truly weak monster counterattacks God! Go ahead, Youyou!"
After receiving the attack order from Aisha, the gigantic tofu block Youyou raised his short arms on both sides of the tofu block.
Of course, the short arms refer to Yoyo’s original size.
Now, Yunyun was even bigger than the God of Despair, and even his short arms had expanded exponentially. As his arms swung, a strong wind blew, and the air in the entire academy square seemed to be torn apart by this blow.
boom--!
There was a huge, deafening roar. The Gigantamax slapped the head of Antihope, the God of Despair, with a force so strong that it could penetrate the ears.
The God of Despair in battle has resistance that cannot be destroyed by battle.
But so what?
"Even if it won't be destroyed in battle, battle damage still needs to be calculated! Youyou's attack power exceeds that of the God of Despair by 800 points!"
"No, there's no way this is possible!"
Among the two emerald green pupils, the central pupil was extremely shrunk due to panic.
Black Aisha looked tremblingly at the remaining health value displayed by the elf's eye on his arm.
What followed was a hurricane of combat damage swung out by the Gigantamaxed Yoyo Palm.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-!"
Aisha Carlos (Dark) LP: 550 → 0
The entire slender body was blown away in the strong wind, and the dust and rubble of the broken ruins covered the entire body as it rolled.
Chapter 91: Fusion of the Dark Side
"Is the duel over?"
After the God of Despair broke through the ceiling of the ruins room, Kevin and others had to retreat to the underground room of the penultimate maze.
After that, the only entrance was directly submerged by the collapsed ruins. Several people could only lie on the wall and barely observe the duel in the room through the gaps between the ruins.
"I seemed to see Aisha being knocked away." The sexy body was completely pressed against the wall, and Nia tried hard to look inside.
"Which Aisha?" Kevin, who had chosen the wrong gap and couldn't see the situation clearly, asked anxiously.
"Both sides are Aisha Carlos. I can't tell them apart."
"Yes, the trial is over."
Compared to Kevin and others who still had to observe the duel with their eyes, Camille knew that the trial had been decided after that muffled sound by feeling the fluctuations coming from the Millennium Key.
"Don't worry, Aisha Carlos won."
“Did he win?” Kevin’s eyes were slightly startled, and he said in surprise: “Aisha Carlos, he even defeated God. He is worthy of being my destined enemy!”
Camille continued to remind them, "Since the duel is over, you should leave the underground space as soon as possible. After suffering such a degree of damage, no one can say whether the remaining two spaces will be affected and collapse."
Nia said worriedly: "But, Aisha Carlos, she hasn't come out yet..."
Rovik said, "Idiot, the ceiling of the ruins room has been directly connected to the ground due to the destruction. As a duelist, Aisha Carlos wants to escape from a room without a ceiling. Isn't it enough to use hands?"
By summoning any flying Duel Monster, Aisha can directly pass through the ceiling pierced by Despair and Youyou and leave the underground space.
In comparison, the situation is indeed more urgent for Kevin and others who want to leave the underground space and have to go back through the maze and the magic bell cave.
"What Senior Rovik said makes sense. We should leave first."
After agreeing with Camille's proposal and Rovik's judgment, Kevin looked at the collapsed ruins that blocked the entrance for the last time.
"Aisha Yuna Carlos. Please be safe. I will wait for you to come back to the academy."
Although Aisha won the duel in the end, this trial involved the dark side of the mind. Kevin believed that the final result could not be determined simply by the outcome of the duel.
In the ruins, Darkside Aisha, whose clothes and exposed skin were covered with dust and dirt, fell to the ground, looking miserable.
“God of despair, I gained power from despair. But I lost to Youyou, a trash among trash…”
After the duel, the card of the God of Despair fell into the hands of Dark Side Aisha.
The God of Despair, whose two seals have been unlocked, can fully exert its power as a God Card in a duel.
Even so, the god of despair, Antihope, still failed to win the duel for her.
"another me."
Aisha, who won the duel, was actually already seriously overdrawn, but she still trembled and insisted on walking towards the dark side before falling to the ground.
"You, you, you, don't come over here!"
Staring at his feet, Aisha on the dark side took a few steps back and screamed in fear.
You Ling: "Look at you, you scared your own child."
In fact, You Ling had already begun to sympathize with Aisha's dark side of life.
Although it was just a false existence separated by the power of the Millennium Key.
After all, the real Aisha Carlos did not drop out of Fusheng Academy.
False experiences, false hatred, even despair itself is false.
The only truth about this miserable girl in front of him was probably that she truly existed in the deepest part of Aisha's heart, a hidden corner that even Aisha herself had not noticed.
"Why are you so scared?" Aixia tilted her head in confusion, "Aren't you me? Who else would be afraid of themselves?"
"Don't be so naive. You won the duel, so of course you're not afraid!"
Aisha, who was on the dark side, wanted to grab the gravel around him and throw it at Aisha, but he found that his blurry body could not even touch the real objects.
There can't possibly be two Aisha Carlos in this world.
And in most stories, the dark side that is defeated by the protagonist will be completely eradicated, becoming an opportunity for the protagonist to purify his soul and move toward a stronger state.
"I will disappear. You will definitely wipe me out completely. The dark side of human nature is nothing but a burden. No one will want to need me. Even the truth of my last existence will be taken away by this trial. This is the meaning of this trial."
"You're not going to disappear."
Aisha showed a gentle and healing smile and stretched out her hand.
"How can I possibly abandon you completely when even saints cannot avoid the darkness?"
"Hmm?" Blinking her green eyes a few times, Aisha, who was on the dark side, was stunned for a moment, "Then you, then me...what do you want?"
"Come back, I wouldn't be complete without you."
Instead of taking this opportunity to abandon and eliminate the dark side of oneself, he accepted the darkness as well.
This decision is very consistent with Aisha Carlos's personality.
Just as Aisha said in the duel, having the courage to face darkness and despair is the real growth and true strengthening.
Aisha stretched out her fingers and gently touched the cold palm of the dark side.
The dark side Aisha, who was so weak that he couldn't even touch the objects around him, once again felt a trace of real warmth.
"Can I really go back?"
"I will not deceive myself."
With the power from the Millennium Key, the final trial is officially declared over.
The soul of Aisha Carlos merged with the darkness deep in his heart again and no longer hid in the deepest corner. He truly accepted his other self.
The God of Despair card that fell to the ground was also added to Aisha Carlos's deck with the return of the dark side.
At this moment, the "Millennium Libra" located at Xingke Academy tilted slightly to the left.
The legendary thousand-year-old artifact used to measure the good and evil of souls, took this as an opportunity to allow the Eye of the Elf to define the duelist and gain "growth".
It was like stepping into the magic amplification ritual of a summoning course. The summoning energy accumulated in the eyes of the Aisha Elf was brighter and fuller than ever before.
The continuous summoning of monsters unfolded uncontrollably. Several black-faced Xyz cards appeared in front of Aisha Carlos.
This power is also the fighting method that Aisha Carlos has been looking for and pursuing in another non-existent world line.
You Ling: "You have really become stronger, Aisha."
Aisha's almost perfect decision at the last moment made You Ling suddenly feel that his daughter had finally grown up.
However, just when You Ling thought that the matter had been resolved, he discovered that it was not that simple...
In the thousand-year-old building blocks, a figure suddenly appeared in the spiritual room that belonged to one's own.
Chapter 92: Aisha and the Soul Room
The Soul Room of the Millennium Building Blocks will accurately reflect the inner heart of the holder.
In You Ling's spiritual room, apart from the most basic bed, chair, and table, at the beginning there were only items that he loved during his lifetime and related to competitive cards.
Then gradually, as he got used to the time-travel life with Aisha, the cards in his mind room began to include content related to Duel Monsters cards.
Sometimes, there are some strange items from other worlds.
All of this comes from You Ling's own subconscious mind, which even he himself cannot fully control.
For example, if You Ling is also interested in the books that Aisha has read in the library, they will appear in the room of the mind.
Or maybe the game handheld that has a unique otherworldly feel and is driven by a magic crystal core. It is also Aisha's most cherished treasure collection.
Normally, Aixia would just cherish it and take it out to play with it for a while before going to bed.
