...Yuei Vu won.
Marik's LP was completely reset to zero, and the word "WINNER" appeared on Yuei Vu's Duel Disk. The dense darkness that pervaded all around also gradually dissipated, revealing the blue sky again.
The Shadow Game had been fought for too long, and Yuei Vu, who was surrounded by darkness, almost forgot that it was still daylight.
At this time, the referee, Mr. Isono, who was calm in the face of the coercion of the two Egyptian gods and the supernatural event of the player's body's disappearance, said indifferently, "The winner, Player Yuei Vu! Player Marik is eliminated!"
His tone was calm, and his expression was even more unwavering as if it was normal for a player's body to disappear during the duel, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
As for the gods, it was even common. The referee said that he worked as a bodyguard under President Kaiba. What kind of wind and waves has he never seen before? Isn't it just a dragon and a bird, just a little bigger, what's so strange…
Sure enough, the Shadow Game was over, and the vanished parts of Yuei Vu's body had all recovered.
Yuei Vu clenched his fists and jumped on tiptoe, feeling that his hands and feet were not abnormal… The most important thing was that the p*nis didn't seem to be abnormal, which was really relieving.
If a game of cards took the p*nis to another dimension, it would be called a disaster…
On the opposite side, Marik, who lost in the Shadow Game and should have been swallowed by the darkness, actually recovered his body too.
Yuei Vu couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Was it possible to cheat at this? For example, secretly adding an "Immortal Object" status to protect yourself in the Shadow Game?
No, it shouldn't be possible. The main attribute of the Shadow Game was its fairness. The rules are equal to the active opener and passive recipient of the game.
If you lost, you must accept sanctions of your own rules. This was the basic rule of the Shadow Game, and it was also the basis for the Yu-gi-oh world.
"Marik!"
Sister Ishizu hurried to the stage and helped her younger brother, who was lying on the ground like a dead fish.
Marik groaned twice, his eyelids moved, and a vague voice came out of his throat: "Sister…Sister…"
Yuei Vu suddenly understood.
Marik has two personalities in his body, that were two completely different beings with separate souls. The one who just fought Yuei Vu and lost in the Shadow Game, and was eliminated was a dark and evil personality.
But now the inner personality has been completely wiped out, so the only thing left was the outer personality in front of him.
What? You said that the two Mariks share the same body and look alike, how did Yuei Vu tell them apart?
This was a nonsense question. Because the Marik in front of him obviously didn't have a true duelist's hairstyle!
Look at this face again, how did Yami Marik put on such a normal expression?
However, although it was not Marik who participated in the Shadow Game, and his soul was not affected, the two personalities share the same body after all, and the physical trauma and stamina consumption of the Shadow Game was genuine.
That's why Marik's whole body wilted a lot at this moment, and he was lying on his sister's lap as if he had just entered the post-nut clarity.
What was destroyed in this duel was not only his dark personality but also the inner darkness that was subtly influenced by his dark personality.
... In other words, according to the routine, it was almost time for the whitewashing.
"…I committed an irreparable crime." Marik closed his eyes gently, "During the time of my inner personality awakening, the memories I lost, the death of my father… .. I remember it all."
Ishizu bit her lip and caressed her brother's forehead with some distress, but did not speak.
"I always thought that the death of my father should be caused by the nameless pharaoh. So I hate him and the fate of our Tomb Keepers, and determined to take revenge with my own hands and end the fate of our family.
That's why I created Ghouls, stole the god cards that were supposed to be guarded by our Tomb Keepers, and wanted to avenge the pharaoh…but only recently did I realize that I was wrong.
The awakening of my dark personality also brought memories that were dormant in the depths of my subconscious. It turned out that Pharaoh had nothing to do with his father's death. It turned out that it was me who killed my father and committed this heinous crime. "
Marik raised his head with some difficulty.
"…you've always known that, right sister?"
Ishizu turned her head away and looked away without saying a word.
She did know, and so did Marik's most trusted subordinate, Rishid, whom he regarded as his brother.
That's when Marik's inner dark personality first took his body. Marik has no memory of what happened when he was being manipulated, but Ishizu and Rishid were both presented. They saw with their own eyes that Yami Marik killed their father by brutal means, which opened the prelude to a series of grievances.
After that, Ishizu and Rishid tacitly chose to hide the incident from Marik and did not tell the truth about his father's death. Only now, with the awakening of the dark personality, has this memory resurfaced.
At this time, the audience below the stage had also gathered around.
Marik struggled to get up from his sister's arms and stood up panting.
He turned to Yugi: "Yugi… No, venerable Pharaoh, first of all, I must apologize to you. I made an unforgivable mistake and caused great distress to you and your friends."
"Marik doesn't know anything." Sister Ishizu stepped forward. "If you really want to say who is guilty, it should be I who knew the truth but never had the courage to speak to him."
Marik was surprised: "Sister!"
"In addition, I also broke the most important rules of the Tomb Keeper family." Ishizu said firmly, "I arbitrarily handed over the god card 'Obelisk the Tormentor' to others. Using the power of Millennium Necklace in a duel also violates the taboo…"
Seeing that Marik was washed white at the speed of light, the loyal Tomb Keeper sisters rushed to take the blame, and Yami Yugi a.k.a the nameless pharaoh couldn't help frowning.
Ghouls did a lot of wrongdoing. Even if he didn't know the truth, Marik did a lot of bad things after all. Because of the principle, this matter couldn't be forgiven so casually…
"The other me, I feel that Marik and his siblings are so pitiful." Yugi's voice sounded and began to intercede for the siblings, "Think carefully, they didn't actually do anything critical to us. The Ghouls who attacked us have all gotten what they deserve. Why don't you forgive them?"
"…Okay, since you said so." Yami Yugi nodded without hesitation and turned to the siblings, "It's okay, I forgive you."
"…"
After all, the world was big, but AIBO was the biggest.
Yami Yugi said that as long as AIBO was happy, everything was fine.
