"I noticed it 10,000 years ago. Many things can't be changed no matter what you do."
At this moment, in the headquarters of Doma in the real world, the duel between Dartz and Yugi and others has already begun.
It's just a little different from the animation, here Dartz confronted Yugi, Kaiba, and Jonouchi at the same time, namely the three warriors chosen by the legendary dragon.
Maybe it's because he was dealing with Yuei Vu at the same time, his strength has been discounted, and it's a one-on-three, so Dartz was not as brave as in the original animation.
Although it was a one-on-three, it did not use the Battle Royal rules but the Tag Team rules. Dartz was a team of one person, and Yugi's side was a team of three. Each side of the two teams has one operation turn, and each time it was the turn of Yugi and others to operate, the player who took the turn must be changed.
In this way, although it was still three-on-one, in terms of rules, Dartz's disadvantage was actually smaller than in the original work.
"I once thought about saving humanity from the darkness, I was willing to do whatever it takes," Dartz said to the three, "but in the end, I found that it was useless…it didn't even make sense at all.
Because humans don't want to be saved at all. Orichalcos's power inspired the darkness in people's hearts, but it was only an inducement. After all, the darkness still comes from human beings themselves.
In the final analysis, it was still the flaws of this race itself. Humans have no potential to overcome the darkness in their hearts. The long time of 10,000 years has convinced me of this. Humans will only repeat the same mistakes again and again, and in the end, it will always end in tragedy… "
"Master Dartz!"
At this time, a majestic voice came from outside the door. Everyone followed the sound and turned their heads, only to find that it was Rafael.
Speaking of which, when the Paradius company collapsed before, Yugi clearly watched this guy fall from the roof, but he never expected that he seemed to be fine. Not only was he not injured, he even chased them and ran to Doma headquarters in the blink of an eye.
"Rafael! Are you alright?" Yugi looked surprised.
Until just now, he thought that this uncle had died.
Rafael nodded, turned to Dartz, and said, "Stop all of this, Master Dartz! We were wrong! The darkness of the human heart can be overcome, and I have successfully done it!"
Dartz squinted at him, closed his eyes lightly, and smiled without being surprised at all.
"Ah, I know. Indeed, sometimes, people can indeed overcome the darkness in their hearts with their own will."
Rafael was stunned: "You…you know? Then why…?"
"It is true that the rage, hatred, and despair of the human heart can sometimes seem to be overcome, but that is only because it is not what human beings are."
Dartz raised his hands and began to take this opportunity to preach.
"People's hearts are not so easy to change. I have realized it over the years. Darkness has existed since the birth of human beings, the first cognition and contact with the world. As long as everyone feels unfair in their hearts, darkness will always exist.
The poor and the rich, the talented and the untalented, the liked and the disliked… There's no way people these days can beat that. Out of these harsh realities the darkness is constantly being bred, and even if it is overcome for a while, it can never be eradicated. "
Dartz turned his head to look at Rafael, showing a meaningful smile.
"Rafael, you do have spiritual power that mortals do not have. I can see that you are not lying. Maybe you have indeed eliminated the darkness in your heart now. Your experience has given you an extraordinary will, which makes you able to embrace and accept the darkness within yourself…"
Dartz paused, his eyes flickered slightly.
"…but that's what I give you too."
"What?" Rafael was taken aback.
"Alister hated the Kaiba Corp because of his brother's death…but have you ever thought about it? Was it really Gosaburo Kaiba who made his brother die on the battlefield?"
Rafael was stunned suddenly.
For a moment, he seemed to understand what Dartz was talking about.
But he didn't dare to face that fact, even just guessing it made cold sweat run down his spine.
"The church where Valon grew up? Why would someone set fire to that place? The mastermind behind it… Has Valon really found it? And…Rafael."
Dartz narrowed his eyes, as if he deliberately wanted to check Rafael's reaction.
"Why did your family's ship go through the route of the submarine volcano eruption?
Why did that volcano erupt just as you were passing by?
Why are you the only one who survived the entire ship? "
Speaking of which, there was no suspense anymore.
"There is only one answer." Dartz said calmly, "Because all three of you were destined to become Doma's swordsman from the very beginning. You were destined to dedicate your life to the evil god's resurrection plan!"
The window paper was punctured. The cruel truth was laid out in front of Rafael bloody, impacting everything he had believed in his life so far.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
He felt himself losing control. Anger surged from the deepest corner of his heart in an instant, as if the blood in every blood vessel in him was boiling.
Rafael's brain seemed to be emptied in an instant. He seemed to hear Yugi calling him – but that didn't matter anymore.
Everything he believed in and pursued in his life has become an illusion. Dartz, the man who once represented his most pious belief, seems to have turned into a demon with horns and claws in a trance at this moment. An invisible big hand stretched out from the void, and manipulated the helpless ship that their family was riding on across time and space.
Anger, hatred, loathing. All the emotions he once thought he had eliminated filled his mind uncontrollably.
When he lost to Yugi in the duel before, the Orichalcos imprint was once eliminated by his inner will, but now it was also returned with all these dark and negative emotions. The curse of the six-pointed star reappeared on his forehead. Before Rafael had time to react, it took away his soul and absorbed it as a sacrifice of the evil god.
A few seconds later, Rafael's portrait appeared on the spare slate in the Soul Hall.
…
Dartz in front of Yuei Vu in the spirit world also shook his head at this time, with a sigh, but not with an unexpected expression.
"Rafael, he is indeed the best among human beings, the representative of the strongest willpower and the best spirit." He seems to be talking to himself, "but because of this, he has further proved that I am right.
After all, it is impossible for people to transcend the darkness in their hearts, and today's human beings cannot do it. So it's up to me to correct this mistake, and it's up to me to create a human being who can overcome this flaw…"
"So the way you prove this point is to artificially manipulate other people's fate and create inner darkness by yourself?" Yuei Vu said.
Dartz shrugged: "That was Rafael's fate, I just made a little effort to make him work for me."
"A little? I think it's much more than you claim," Yuei Vu said, "And you said to create human beings who can overcome the darkness in their hearts. How do you do it? Create puppets who all obey you, and believers who are all brainwashed by you?"
"Orichalcos's power can do anything."
"Really? Then why can't you eliminate the darkness in people's hearts?"
Dartz raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have your own opinion on this issue?"
"No. I'm just wondering why you can brainwash so many people to go crazy with you, thinking that the inner darkness is a disease.
There is darkness in the human heart, but I don't think it's a strange thing. Where there is light, there must be shadow, this is the most basic truth in the world.
But when you try to fool other people, you deliberately ignore one thing from beginning to end, Dartz, that is, while there is darkness in everyone's heart, there is also light. Even if it is the only point in the boundless darkness, it is also a light that cannot be ignored.
Just as you said that the darkness of the human heart will create demons, the same possibility exists for human beings to gain light…"
Having said that, Yuei Vu shook his head.
"Well, I'm sure it's not normal to tell you this."
Dartz was an old monster who has lived for 10,000 years, and it might require a Talk no Jutsu at the level of the crowned prince of Konoha to change this old immortal.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't need to argue with you." Dartz said, "Now your LP is like a candle in the wind, and in the next turn your soul will turn into a meal for the revived God of Orichalcos. "
"That's not necessarily true." Yuei Vu chuckled.
Dartz frowned.
"Haven't you heard of it? As long as there are cards in the duelist's deck, hope will never disappear." Yuei Vu said, "Besides…"
…Besides, at this moment, my skills have been triggered!
Duel Skill: God's Anger, activate!
