Light of Creation!
The brilliance of creation enveloped the Great Evil God, as if thousands of light sabers penetrated its mountainous body. The incandescent glow exploded continuously within every vein of the Great Evil God's body, tearing its muscles and structures to shreds.
Its black flesh, harder than steel, shattered, with bone-like horns on its head breaking piece by piece. But the worst part was the dragon head below it, which was snapped into two with a wail, the cervical vertebrae bursting with a crackling sound, leaving flesh and blood blurred.
Miss Yue Hua's game recording captured this scene completely, and for a moment, the live stream was filled with endless comments, making it extremely lively.
Some were commenting "666", while some big spenders excitedly sent gifts like planes and rockets. Others were comparing it to something with "isn't this more epic than XXX?", followed by comments saying "please don't compare with non-flammable substances".
Adding to the absurdity, at the moment the supreme Creator God Holactie appeared, delivering a "Light of Creation" to instantly kill the Great Evil God, a bunch of silly comments appeared saying "toilet cleaner"...
This is an inside joke only the old audience would understand. It's said that the line shouted by the Creator God during the move sounds like "toilet cleaner" in a homophonic manner.
The silly players have their own explanation for this. They say the dark and filthy Great Evil God Sok is like stubborn stains that can't be flushed away in a toilet, not only refusing to go but also staining the surrounding water. However, in front of the invincible toilet cleaner, it can only be instantly killed...
This is definitely a very silly style of explanation.
And when Sok's body crumbled, and the flamboyant dragon's neck snapped, the silliness reached its peak.
"Whoa, how tragic!"
"There's a kind of pain that hurts just by watching."
"Such a tragic Evil God..."
"..."
No matter what, the result is undoubted. The appearance of Holactie the Creator of Light signifies a change in rules—not just the victory rules of this duel, but the victory of the entire RPG Darkness Game.
And also the Great Evil God Sok—this endlessly resurrecting Evil God, like a cockroach that survives numerous losses in the Darkness Game, was also completely annihilated.
The massive dark creature cracked open, with endless streams of light flowing over its black body. Its massive body toppled over as if it were burning, with waves of flame surging skyward like tides rising into the air.
Then the great presence, Holactie the Creator of Light, slowly turned around. Gentle, harmonious golden light spread, enveloping both victors of this duel.
The pouring silver light intertwined to form heaven and earth, and all around seemed to drop curtains made of pure light, with nothing else in this space.
It looked like a dimension space constructed by light.
"Atem."
Holactie the Creator of Light spoke, her voice soft, gentle yet authoritative, her tone and appearance more feminine.
Atem looked up: "Holactie."
"Three thousand years ago, you stood alone, unable to find a way to defeat the Great Evil God Sok, and could only choose to seal him back to the Netherworld at the cost of your name and identity."
Holactie slowly spoke.
"Back then, you chose the path of mutual sealing with Sok. But today, three thousand years later, facing Sok again, I am glad you have found a way to defeat him.
Now you have reliable comrades, protectors by your side, and the best partner.
The bonds you have built with others became the only way to defeat Sok."
As Holactie spoke, Youyu was lost in thought nearby.
Honestly, wasn't the Pharaoh not completely alone three thousand years ago?
It seems like you're looking down on our Pharaoh's Priesthood.
... Well, during that battle with Sok, it seems that the priesthood was indeed wiped out.
In the end, standing on the battlefield, protecting against Sok with his bare body, really was just the sixteen-year-old Pharaoh alone.
So this story tells us that unity is strength, with strength being iron, and this strength being steel...
As Holactie relayed to Pharaoh Atem, certain Youyu was just standing by with folded arms, thoughts trailing off to the familiar melody running through his head...
... Until he suddenly realized the gaze of the Creator God seemed to be on him.
Youyu snapped back to reality.
Huh? The big boss Creator God looking for me, a mere bystander?
"Youyu... isn't it?" she said.
"...Yes." Youyu's thoughts were pulled back, listening intently to what she had to say.
"Sok erased the Pharaoh's true name from the tombstone, attempting to let that name forever be buried in history." she said, "But fortunately, you appeared.
You passed the 'King's Trial', winning the key to retrieve the Pharaoh's true name, and the bonds between you called forth a miracle."
Huh? Wasn't that a cheat sent by big boss you?
Atem cast a grateful gaze towards Youyu.
Only now did he learn that his name had been erased by Sok. Although he didn't know the specifics of the "King's Trial", from Holactie's words, it seemed like thanks to Youyu, he was able to retrieve his name.
If this were true, then you could say he owed Youyu his life.
Youyu remembered the end of that trial, when the Three Egyptian Gods clashed, and in the light, he briefly saw the image of Holactie.
Could it be...
Youyu decided to ask the deity directly.
"Was that 'King's Trial', that duel... did you participate?"
He thought it might actually be possible.
After all, the AI of that Pharaoh was absurdly strong, making him suspect countless times that it couldn't just be an AI. If Holactie were controlling the illusion, it might explain things.
But Holactie shook her head.
"I was merely an observer." she said, "The opponent you fought against was the Pharaoh from three thousand years ago—Atem—who, before his self-sealing, unable to rest easy about the future, left behind a lingering soul.
Just like how the Great Evil God Sok sealed back to the Netherworld, attaching fragmented spirits on the 'Millennium Ring' with enduring resentment, waiting for a chance to resurrect, while the Pharaoh's soul was sealed in the 'Millennium Pendant', the remnants of his consciousness from three thousand years ago slumbered within the Memory Tablet that preserved his memories."
Youyu was dumbfounded: "So, the opponent I fought against..."
"Was the Pharaoh from three thousand years ago, indeed." Holactie confirmed, "You showed him your strength, proving to him that there are people in the future worth entrusting. He now has no attachments, and his lingering soul has thus dissipated."
She paused, smiling slightly.
"It was a very exciting duel. I also saw from you the potential of Duelists in this era. With reliable duelists like you, the Pharaoh should be able to rest in peace."
Youyu seemed to suddenly understand something, as if certain puzzles that had been troubling him were suddenly solved.
Although Holactie wasn't the opponent in the "King's Trial", she had watched the entire duel. Maybe it was by seeing Youyu's strength in that duel that she decided to entrust him with the "True Name" card.
If Bakura hadn't entered this Memory World to cause trouble, following the normal RPG plot after the Ancient Egyptians crafted the Memory Tablet, the Pharaoh three thousand years later would simulate his journey, ultimately ending with him and Sok mutually sealed.
Holactie would have had no role.
After all, without the antagonist stirring things up, how would the protagonist "cheat" to triumph?
Thinking more carefully, if Bakura hadn't erased the Name of the King from the Pharaoh's Tomb, Youyu might not have had the opportunity to undertake this trial, wouldn't have received the "True Name" card, and would've definitely been unable to unlock the skill "Call the True Name", or drawn Holactie from his deck to reverse the game.
If that had been the case, Youyu would've remained a mere bystander with zero connection to the Pharaoh's memories or the ancient vendettas.
But now, thanks to the troubles caused by Bakura, originally unrelated, Youyu and Holactie are now connected...
