Chapter 158
It was a great struggle for me and my companions to escape the crowds and reach the venue.
"Wait, Mr. Yugi!"
Amidst the soft sound of running, a childish voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.
Jonouchi quipped, "Is anyone still chasing us?"
"That's what I mean..."
Everyone turned around and saw a child with a jellyfish-shaped head standing behind the Yugi.
"Who are you?"
When the Yugi first saw him, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he were looking at himself.
The child replied energetically, "My name is Yusei Fudo, Mr. Yugi!"
"You mean Yusei-kun? What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Judai raised the card in his hand.
Then he asked, "Mr. Yugi, I admire you so much, could you please sign your autograph?"
Seeing his serious expression, Yugi smiled and replied confidently, "Sure."
So he took the purple card from the little boy 'Judai hand.
"Elemental HERO, Flame Wingman... he's a child who loves heroes."
After writing his name on the Yugi, he handed it back to Judai.
"Thank you, Mr. Yugi!"
The Judai accepted the card with a look of delight.
The Yugi patted his head and smiled, "Goodbye then, Yusei-kun. We'll definitely meet again someday."
"Okay! Goodbye, Mr. Yugi!"
After saying goodbye, Judai turned and ran towards his parents who were waiting behind him.
After nodding to the Yugi, the latter led Judai away.
The Yugi remained where it was, watching them leave, and he even looked somewhat happy.
King curiously, "What's wrong, Yusei-kun, AIBO?"
The Yugi chuckled, "I never expected to meet another version of myself so soon..."
King immediately realized something, "AIBO, you mean!?"
"Yes, just like you imagined."
The Yugi nodded.
"Yusei-kun and I are both manifestations of the same soul; that's what my soul tells me deep down."
"However, it seems that Yusei-kun has not yet awakened. I wonder if he will still remember me when we meet again."
After saying that, he followed the crowd that was waiting behind him.
Take care, Darling! I'll definitely come back to Japan!
Rebecca hugged the Yugi without any shame and said goodbye to him.
Apricot, her Anzu palpable, said with a strange expression, "Hmm, I'll be waiting for you..."
As they said goodbye, the plane was about to take off, Mokuba rushed over to urge them to board the plane quickly.
4 And so, Rebecca and her grandfather watched them go.
The Yugi and his four friends left the America by plane.
si...
Three days later.
Yugi and King, accompanied by their usual trio, travel to Egypt to search for King's lost memories.
Inside Egypt airport.
Honda: "We've finally arrived. Egypt is really far away."
Jonouchi: "What do we do now?"
As they were still figuring out how to get there, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Hello everyone, Yugi!"
Marik was standing not far away, waving to them, with Isis and Rishid standing on either side of him.
"Oh~!"
"Miss Isis, Marik!"
The Yugi team quickly ran over to meet them and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Isis respectfully addressed Yugi, "I've been waiting for you, Yugi, and the Nameless Pharaoh."
A golden light flashed from the Millennium Puzzle on the Yugi's chest, its eyes instantly sharpened, and it seemed to grow even taller.
This is the launch of Dark Yugi.
Isis continued, "We will now take you to the place where the Memory Stone Slab are placed."
Dark Yugi nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes, I'm counting on you guys."
A few hours later.
Led by the Gravekeeper Clan, the Yugi's group arrived at the building where the stone slabs were placed.
"The stone slab inside contains the key to unlocking my memories."
As King was thinking this.
Isis turned her head and said, "This is where we'll end it."
Marik: "Placing the three God Cards in front of the Memory Stone Slab will open the door to lost memories."
King didn't say much and led everyone to the basement where the stone slabs were placed.
"Sister, our three-thousand-year mission Gravekeeper Clan has finally come to an end."
Marik and his two companions stood at the doorway, showing no intention of going in with them.
He simply watched Jonouchi, Honda, Anzu accompanied Yugi inside silently.
"Yes, every soul has a place it should return to, and this is the path the Pharaoh must take before returning to the underworld."
Just when everything seemed harmonious, someone was secretly observing from a certain corner.
"Hehehe, the Pharaoh is finally about to open the door to his memories."
It turns out this person is Bakura, who's been offline for a very long time, and he's preparing to stir up trouble again.
When King and the others arrived in front of the stone slab, he was more excited than anyone else, for the moment when his memories were finally about to be unlocked.
"This is the stone slab that holds my memories."
"Hey, the Yugi, here you go."
Although Anzu no longer harbors secret feelings for King before, she still brings out an important plot item she bought at the airport—a plaque used by past Pharaoh to record their names, just like in the original work—as a close friend of the opposite sex.
After receiving the Dog Tag, King didn't hesitate and took out three God Cards from his pocket.
Looking at the Dark Yami that was about to begin, Bakura couldn't wait.
King glanced at the three cards, then, as if summoning his courage, pointed them at the stone slab.
The next second, a strong light was released from the stone slab.
Guided by the stone slab, the king's soul detached from the Yugi's body and disappeared from the Yugi's sight.
Chapter 224 Heading to the Memory World
The stone slab opened a passage to King's Memory World, King was sucked in, completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, the Bakura, who had been spying outside, and his clone from the Millennium Puzzle merged into one in the passageway and headed to the place where his conspiracy was about to unfold.
Beyond the stone slab, the intense light dissipated.
Yugi stared in horror at the Millennium Puzzle hanging around his neck. "The Other Me has disappeared, neither inside the Puzzle nor within my heart."
"What? Another Yugi..."
The crowd was somewhat incredulous.
Wasn't the plan to regain memories? How come everyone just vanished in an instant?
"The Pharaoh's soul has left its host and traveled to the realm of memories!"
Suddenly, a man dressed in Egypt clothing appeared.
"You are... Shadi!"
Yugi recognized the person at a glance. This person was another holder of the Millennium Item that Yugi and King encountered after the Duelist Kingdom.
"The one who harbors the Pharaoh's soul, you no longer possess Pharaoh soul; he has entered his Memory World. This world of memories is a world created from history that truly occurred three thousand years ago. The Pharaoh must relive the past to regain his memories, unravel the mystery of his soul being sealed within the Millennium Puzzle, and..."
Shadi paused, then continued calmly, "Find your real name."
"Hey? So you mean the other Yugi won't be coming back?"
Jonouchi excitedly stepped forward, attempting to grab Shadi and question him.
He discovered that his hand had passed right through his body, as if it were a virtual image.
"Huh?"
"It's no use, my body has already been destroyed."
These words startled Jonouchi quickly hid behind Honda.
Shadi continued, "My body was destroyed by Bakura."
"Bakura?!"
The four were shocked. Would their companion do such a thing? Or was it another manifestation of their darker personality?
"The Millennium Item tells me that the dark Bakura is traveling to the Memory World with the Pharaoh."
"My Other Me is now with the dark Bakura?!"
The Yugi forced itself to calm down. "So, Shadi, since you've come all this way to tell us, is there any way you can get us to come and help?"
"Yes."
Shadi nodded, then pulled out the Millennium Key and the Millennium Scale from somewhere, and led the group into the blocks, trying to find the door hidden in the Mind Maze that led to that world.
However, finding that door will be dangerous; you can easily get lost in the maze and not be able to get out.
The Yugi was supposed to be done by one person, but the others insisted on going together.
If we can't win Yugi with them, we can only back down and try to protect them.
His only recourse was the power hidden within his own soul.
The Yugi closes its eyes, attempting to draw out most of the power of the digested Orichalcos God to empower Shadi.
The next second, his eyes widened.
"It's done!"
Shadi stared at the Yugi in astonishment. "Such powerful Dark Power! With this power, finding that door will be much easier."
The rest is simple.
With this power, the effects of the Millennium Item were greatly enhanced, and the Dark Power permeating the Mind Maze suddenly found a hidden door.
After forcibly opening a passage, everyone successfully entered the Memory World.
