Chapter 159
Meanwhile, in the Memory World.
The Pharaoh sat on his throne, looking completely bewildered, at the priest beside him, Simon, who looked exactly like Sugoroku Muto.
And standing below are six priests: Seto (the previous incarnation of the Kaiba) with the Millennium Rod, Akhenaden with the Millennium Eye, Mahad (the previous incarnation of the Dark Magician) with the Millennium Ring, Isis with the Millennium Necklace Jewelry, Shada with the Millennium Key, Karim with the Millennium Scale.
And they are now judging the criminals who assassinated King.
King thought to himself, "So the main purpose of the Millennium Item in this period was to judge sinners?!"
He stared dumbfounded at the Monster Tablet that resembled an ancient card game table. "Is this the memory I once experienced?"
However, now that he understands this is Memory World, he has to find a way to go through the story properly, recall his past, and find his true name.
The Pharaoh sat on his throne, watching with a straight face the humiliating performance of the familiar faces below using the Millennium Item.
Then, just like in the original work, a thief named Bakura (who looks similar to Bakura) from the Egypt world arrives with [Diabound], who has the power to devour monsters, and then gives the six priests a good beating.
King couldn't sit still any longer and immediately summoned the Obelisk the Tormentor.
However, Bakura was prepared. Before the Yugi even started, Diabound, which he controlled, had already absorbed the power of the White Bride from his duel with President Kaiba in reality.
So in the end, the fight ended in a draw, and Bakura took the opportunity to escape.
After the Pharaoh defeated Bakura, the palace enjoyed a brief period of peace.
However, undercurrents were brewing beneath the surface, especially when the priest Seto saw his elf defeated by Diabound in one blow, while the Pharaoh could fight against Bakura by summoning one of the Three Phantom Gods, the Obelisk the Tormentor.
Realizing the vast gap between himself and them, the young and ambitious Seto was undoubtedly unwilling to admit defeat. However, he couldn't show it outwardly, because that would be disrespectful to the Pharaoh.
At the same time, they realized a serious problem: that "gods" are not invincible, and that even the dark elf within a mere thief could rival a god.
Therefore, Seto, craving great power, secretly began searching for a spirit capable of rivaling the gods, which marked the beginning of Seto's (Kaiba's ) and White Bride's destined relationship.
Meanwhile, our master Mahad, having been childhood friends with Pharaoh and Mana (the Dark Magician Girl), possesses unparalleled loyalty to King.
Unfortunately, Mahad was no match for Bakura in their later battle and was forced to unleash a forbidden technique, Polymerization himself with the [Dark Sorcerer] to become the [Dark Magician].
When the Pharaoh and Mana, who arrived late, saw the figure sealed on the stone slab, they were deeply saddened.
Mana wept bitterly, determined to become an excellent magician. Perhaps this is why the effect of [Dark Magician Girl] is that her attack power increases by 300 points when her master is in the graveyard.
Because of King's sadness, even though Yugi, who had been with him the longest as a Yugi, was not physically present, he could still feel that emotion.
So the Yugi led everyone to quicken their pace and pass through the gate leading to the Memory World.
"Alright, I can only lead you this far. Hurry up. Only those who hear the Pharaoh's call are qualified to go."
Under Shadi's watchful gaze, the four of them Yugi down.
Take a day off

Chapter 225 The Card Game Begins
"Hey~, have we really arrived in ancient Egypt?"
Jonouchi looked on in surprise at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street.
Honda: "By the way, don't we look weird?"
Anzu looked puzzled. "That's true, but it seems like nobody cares about us."
Yugi, however, noticed the problem and his expression turned serious. "This world is probably just a memory; we don't actually exist here, so no one can see us."
Anzu asked worriedly, "So, the other Yugi won't be able to see us either?"
"I don't know, but perhaps only Other Me and Bakura hiding somewhere can detect our existence. Only their existence is definitely not just pure memory."
As the Yugi predicted, since the Yugi and its characters didn't have any scenes in the pre-set Memory World, the people here naturally couldn't see them.
Similar to watching a movie with VR glasses, the characters in the movie certainly cannot detect your presence, and you also cannot touch them.
So the Yugi's players decided to head towards the royal palace in an attempt to find King.
As the Yugi and its companions were preparing to head to the palace, they discovered a white-haired girl lying on the ground ahead, with passersby frantically throwing stones at her and cursing her as a witch.
Although Jonouchi and Honda, driven by lust—or rather, by a sense of righteous indignation—rushed forward to try and stop the crowd, they were still in a ghost-like state and could do nothing.
Meanwhile, while Priest Seto and Shada were searching the streets for commoners with powerful spirits, they unexpectedly discovered the situation here.
The Yugi team stared in surprise at the priest who looked just like Kaiba, but unfortunately, Seto and Shada couldn't see them either.
Shada stepped forward and habitually used the Millennium Key to probe the girl, only to be shocked to discover that a powerful white dragon Spirit Power resided within her.
That's right, this girl is Kisara, the White Dragon Maiden, a Blue-Eyes White Dragon spirit with power comparable to that of a god.
Kisara had already formed an indelible bond with the priest Seto during her teenage years.
In order to save her, Seto caused his village to be burned down by bandits, and Seto, who was being suppressed by the bandits, was then protected by the power of the White Bride.
Furthermore, in Kisara's ending, in order to protect Seto, her soul transformed into a white dragon.
Therefore, due to his past life, President Kaiba has a special fondness for Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Not long after, Kisara was taken away by Seto said he was taking her back to the palace.
So the Yugi's group followed them all the way to the palace, hoping to see the King there.
However, at the palace gates, the Jonouchi suffered a setback, as it could no longer pass through the walls in ghost form.
Just then, the group encountered Bobasa, a large, out-of-place character from the Memory World. In the original work, Boba served as the guide for the Yugi group, leading them to where King was.
The story unfolds just like in the original novel, where they travel together until they find King and encounter Bakura, with whom they engage in a fierce battle.
Bakura stared at them in astonishment. "How could this be? Why are they in the Memory World?"
With the Yugi in play, King instantly became energetic and full of fighting spirit, directly summoning the strongest Sun God to burn Bakura to death.
However, the plot of the Memory World suddenly reverses here, and time goes back to when King was defeated. The Millennium Puzzle was finally taken away, and the other Millennium Item were also taken away one by one. Finally, the countdown to the resurrection of the final boss, the Great Evil God Zorc, began.
Their next task in the Yugi is to find the true name of the person who helped King to create the conditions for defeating Zorc, but they have no clue what to do and can only search aimlessly in the palace.
Finally, Bobasa, as mentioned earlier, led them to the Valley of the Kings in an attempt to find the name of King.
After entering the royal tomb and navigating a series of traps, they finally arrived at their destination.
Meanwhile, Honda, possessed by Bakura, caused trouble for the Yugi and his companions.
In the end, they stopped acting altogether, and Honda, who was blocking their way, became Bakura.
"That's enough, Yugi!"
Bakura looked at them with a wicked grin. "I'm very grateful to you all for bringing me here, but unfortunately, I can't let you take another step forward."
"And if we're going to deal with something that can't be dealt with, this thing is the most suitable..."
As he spoke, a Duel Disk appeared in his left hand.
The Yugi developer stepped forward and said, "Want to duel? Sure, I accept the challenge!"
"Be careful, Yugi!"
"Um!"
At this point, the Yugi mimics Bakura by materializing a Duel Disk and a deck.
Bakura sneered, "Hehehe~~, I will definitely defeat you this time, Yugi!"
However, he did not underestimate the Yugi.
Although he had never fought the real Yugi, he had done his homework and studied Yugi's duels before coming here. He knew that Yugi's strength was not much weaker than King's, and he even felt that Yugi was stronger.
Therefore, Bakura dared not be careless at all. Of course, he didn't expect to defeat Yugi; his goal was merely to stall for time.
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yugi Muto: LP4000]
[Bakura: LP4000]
After the duel began, Bakura was the first to draw a card.
"First strike is mine! Draw a card!"
[Bakura's hand: 5 → 6]
After quickly scanning his hand, he revealed one card without hesitation.
"I activate the Spell Card [Dark Necrofear] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by discarding 1 card from your hand. Add 1 [Spirit Channeling's Board] or 1 Level 8 Fiend-type -Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.
"By discarding the [Man-Eater Bug] from your hand, add [Dark Doll Nicolefia] from your deck to your hand."
After taking the card into his hand, Bakura continued, "And the special ability of the [Man-Eater Bug] that was sent to the Graveyard is activated, allowing me to add one monster with 1500 or less ATK from my Deck to my hand. The one I'm adding to my hand is [Mimic Larva]."
He then placed the card face down on the Duel Disk.
"I'll set this monster on the field..."
After revealing a face-down card in the front row, they then revealed Spell Card they had seen before.
"Field Spell [Dark Sanctuary] activated!"
As soon as the arena was activated, the surroundings instantly turned into a ghostly realm, with countless eyes and mouths appearing in the dark space.
"Finally, set one card face down to end the turn."
Bakura ended his turn decisively.
[Bakura's hand: 6 → 3]
Chapter 226 Rematch with Bakura
"My turn! Draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]
While Yugi his hand, Jonouchi said in confusion, "That's strange. I remember that [Dark Sanctuary] requires putting [Dark Doll Nicolefia] into the graveyard to activate, right? And it also requires sacrificing monsters to stay on the field, right?"
Before Bakura could explain, Yugi interjected, "That card is probably the version without the Side Effect?. Bakura's deck should have been updated."
The former smiled, "Yes, that's right. This is a brand new supernatural deck I've prepared for you. Enjoy it, Yugi!"
The Yugi certainly doesn't underestimate the opponent.
He first recalled the effects of face-down cards, then placed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk. "First, I summon [Silent Magician] from my hand in Attack Position."
Buzz--!!
With a flash of light, a female swordsman dressed in a blue and white robe was projected onto the screen.
[Silent Magician: Attack Power 500]
"Then, because of the effect of [Silent Magician] when it enters the field, I can add a [Silent Swordsman LV3] from my deck to my hand."
After receiving the card, the Yugi immediately discards it into the graveyard and reveals another card from their hand.
"By sending the monster card [Silent Swordsman LV3] from my hand to the Graveyard as a price, I activate the Spell Card [One for One]."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6 → 4]
"With this card's effect, I can Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my hand or Deck."
"Come on, [Macaron Marshmallon]!"
The moment the card was slammed onto the Duel Disk, a macaron-shaped, rose-pink Marshmallon appeared.
[Macaron Marshmallon: Defense 200]
After doing all that, the Yugi immediately launched an attack. "Battle begins! I'm attacking the defending monster with [Silent Magician]!"
"What?"
