Chapter 122: A Powerful Alliance!
Duel City, the other side.
Jonouchi stared at the carousel in front of him with his eyes unblinking, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva...
The time magician's turntable hand finally slowly stopped.
"Yoshi!" Jonouchi laughed, "The effect of Time Magician is activated! All monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed!"
The passer-by duelist on the opposite side said: "Why did Nani get hit again!? Where is the referee? I need to find the referee. This guy is worth a thousand x-on:#%&..."
"Hahaha, this means I win! Iron Knight-Giafrid, attack directly!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
【Passenger, LP 0】
"Great, Jonouchi won!" Jonouchi's friend Kyoko expressed excitement.
"That boy from Jonouchi can still do it well when he wants to do it." His good friend Honda also praised him.
The new friends (players) in the city were even more happy and cheering at this time.
"The God of Gamblers is mighty!"
"Back then, Chen Daozai could win 37 million with 20 yuan. It would be no problem for my uncle in the city to throw a dice into the top four!"
In this way, the two cards that Jonouchi lost to Yu Yu were also made up. He had accumulated six more cards. Now he only needed to rush to the finals before the first eight, and he would be considered a finalist.
It was at this moment that Jonouchi, who was happily kissing his puzzle card, received a call from the hospital.
Jonouchi's parents divorced when he was young, and his sister Shizuka is his only remaining relative. Shizuka suffered from an eye disease, and she was able to undergo surgery in the hospital with the help of the huge bonus earned by Jounouchi's best friend Muto Yugi from winning the Duel Kingdom.
The call now came from my sister in the hospital. She excitedly told her brother that she had recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and wanted to cheer her brother on during the battle.
In fact, looking at Jonouchi from another angle is the real traditional protagonist template. A passionate male protagonist who attaches great importance to friendship and is surrounded by a large number of friends. His parents are divorced and he has a younger sister who owns a house. The younger sister is gentle and considerate and is super clingy to her older brother...
...Oh, by the way, there is also a beautiful elder sister, Maiko Mai, who has a very high impression of him, but Jonouchi, who is about as emotionally as wooden as he is, doesn't notice it at all.
Jonouchi was very happy when he hung up the phone. After all, his sister's health and discharge from the hospital was the top priority in his heart.
But at this moment, he had just collected six puzzle cards and was busy preparing to advance. If he delayed his time by picking up his sister from the hospital first, he might not be able to reach the finals before the first eight.
The competition has finally reached this point, and it would be a shame to lose the qualification for promotion.
Just when Jonouchi was in a tangle, his good friend Honda "unconsciously" appeared in his field of vision, pointing at him with a rosy face and making crazy hints.
As if to say——
——I’m going, I’m going! Let me pick up Shizuka!
The friendship between Honda and Jonouchi goes back even further than Yugi. The two often form a team to fight against delinquent boys. They are the kind of buddies who can share the same pair of pants.
While Jonouchi was busy with duel matters, Honda would go to the hospital every three days to visit his sister Shizuka. Even if he doesn't know how to duel, he has always been silently supporting Jonouchi in his own unique way.
Although he never said it, he had already silently made a promise to Jonouchi in his heart——
——Since the moment I saw your sister, I have decided to accept you as my brother!
Yes, it’s a bit hard to talk about. However, although Jonouchi regards him as a brother, Honda actually wants to be his brother-in-law...
However, now Honda has ushered in a group of powerful new opponents.
Honda was still pointing at him and making crazy hints, and the sand sculpture players didn't care so much and just came to Jonouchi's face.
"I'll go, I'll go! I'll help you pick up your sister!"
"How can you be distracted at the important moment of promotion? Let me pick it up for you!"
"Don't say you accepted it, it's fine for me to raise you!"
"The one in front is too little!"
What? Why do you want to help pick people up in the city?
It was because his sister had a gentle, sweet and lovely personality...
...Ah, no, isn't it normal for brothers to help each other when they are in trouble?
Jonouchi was very touched by this. He felt that the man he met at this conference was a very nice person, he spoke well and was considerate of others, so he asked them to go.
When this group of people rushed to the hospital in a hurry, passers-by would probably think they were picking up some rich girl from the hospital. The procession was so exaggerated...
...
Most of the day has passed, and by now the preliminary round has been roughly settled. Most of the players who should be promoted have almost collected the puzzle cards at this time, and even if they are short, the difference is at most one or two.
If this continues, the eight promotion lists should soon be determined.
Malik Ishdar, the leader of Grus, finally joined the game in person.
Of course, as a noble leader, he does not have to go out to duels in person to collect puzzle cards. He had just logged into Tong Shiye, and his subordinates had already prepared six cards for him.
However, Malik, who was rushing straight to the final venue, encountered some obstacles on the way.
The person standing in front of Malik in a dark alley at this moment was a young man with long silver hair, whose hairstyle showed that he was very good at playing cards.
The boy had an evil smile on his face, his shirt was unbuttoned arrogantly, he was wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt, and he stood with his hands on his waist, looking very arrogant.
Of course, Malik only noticed the momentum and eyes later. The first thing that made him pay attention to the opponent in front of him was the golden round wheel hanging on his chest.
The Millennium Wisdom Wheel, one of the seven Millennium Artifacts.
The boy was An Moliang.
Moliang was also a classmate of Muto Yugi, but his body was inhabited by the evil soul in the Millennium Wisdom Wheel - the Great Evil God Sok.
Now it was the Great Evil God Sok who was controlling this body to face Malik.
"What do you want to do?" Malik took out the Millennium Tin Staff cautiously and asked coldly.
"I'm very interested in your Millennium Tin Staff, hand it over to me." An Moliang snorted, "The person who collects all seven Millennium Artifacts will obtain the ultimate dark power, and that will be mine."
Malik narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy... How could he know the secrets guarded by the grave-keeping clan?
But maybe this guy can be used.
Malik smiled lightly and played with the thousand-year-old tin staff in his hand easily.
"It's okay to give it to you, but not now." He said, "I'm not interested in collecting the seven artifacts and gaining power, but before that I have a goal that I have to achieve, that is revenge.
I want to take revenge on Muto Yugi - no, it should be said that the pharaoh's soul in his body. If you are willing to help me achieve this goal, then the thousand-year-old tin staff is no different from waste to me, so I can naturally give it to you."
"Idiot, don't you understand what I'm saying?" An Moliang said coldly, "I said I want you to hand it over obediently, why do you think you have room to bargain with me?"
"Oh?" Malik didn't expect this guy to be so tough.
But he was not afraid. He snorted and opened the duel disk: "If you are so confident in your strength, then come and give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Malik's pupils shrank, and he raised the thousand-year-old tin staff in his hand at a speed that was almost conditioned reflex, and bounced away a dark wave shot by An Moliang.
Malik frowned.
This guy...
... He doesn't even play cards?
An Moliang held the thousand-year-old wisdom wheel in his hand, with black air lingering all over his body and a sinister smile on his face.
Playing cards? Playing cards for nothing! I'm going to rob you today!
Hey, after all, we are the Great Evil God, and we are so confident in our strength.
"Interesting."
Malik snorted coldly, raised the thousand-year-old tin staff, and directly started to compete with An Moliang in dark energy in the air.
Both sides stood still in an instant, motionless like tree stumps. Invisible forces collided in the air, and the majestic darkness of both sides was like waves after waves. The two sides were so fierce that each strike represented the invisible bombardment of the world's top dark forces...
A passerby who appeared at the corner of the alley tilted her head, licking her lollipop while looking at the two big brothers staring at each other affectionately.
The little girl's mother appeared from behind: "Xiao Li?"
The little girl tugged at her mother's skirt: "Mom, look at these two big brothers, they look so weird! Are they out of their minds?"
The mother quickly picked up the little girl and walked away: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Malik: "..."
An Moliang: "..."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but they both felt that a crow was calling "Baga Baga" and flapping its wings above their heads...
An Moliang put away the wheel of wisdom: "Humph, I didn't expect your dark power to be good."
Malik also put away the tin staff tacitly: "You are not bad either."
Although neither of them gave a reason, they both didn't want to continue the competition...
"Okay, I accept your conditions." An Moliang snorted.
Anyway, Yugi has the thousand-year building blocks in his hands, and if he wants to collect all the thousand-year artifacts, he will have to go through Yugi sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with taking this opportunity to join forces with Malik to kill Yugi.
"Very good. If we combine our strengths, no one in this world will be able to stop us!" Malik seemed very optimistic about the prospect of their powerful alliance.
"Humph, maybe." An Moliang hummed, "As long as you don't hold me back."
