Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1001

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The King’s Fear?

"Hmm, those two are quite something,"

Kira mused as he walked.

Eye exaggerated, "Just ’quite something’? Your companions are monsters! One whips out Obelisk for no reason, and the other goes even further—he can even fuse Wicked Gods. This is just..."

Kira had expected the three of them to be separated in the domain, so he’d left a spirit card with both Jaden and Kaiba as a lookout. He had more than enough spirits—since that spirit hunter had thrown himself away, Kira had an army of them.

Some spirits had already been returned to their owners via Kaiba Corp, but others were still being tracked, and many more chose to stay with Kira.

Thanks to the spirits, he got updates on his teammates.

"Relax. Just standard procedure," Kira replied.

Eye: "..."

Even knowing both were "cheat characters," this was over the top.

Kaiba—well, maybe not surprising. He’d quietly holed up and summoned Obelisk. Even Kira was caught off guard.

Not that it was surprising for Kaiba to have Obelisk by now—Obelisk was bound to him in the original story. But Kira had once fought Kaiba in Duel City GX, where Kaiba planned to become Duel King, defeat Orichalcos, and save the world. If Kaiba had Obelisk back then, there’d be no reason to hide it.

So the logical conclusion: Kaiba didn’t have Obelisk at that time. Maybe it was still in development, or maybe seeing Kira pull out Ra inspired him to pursue a god of his own. Either way, Obelisk was probably completed after that tournament.

So even when Kaiba disappeared, he’d been busy.

As for Jaden, even more impressive.

Jaden had now surpassed the original’s level cap. Not only did he reclaim Yubel, but also fully absorbed the Supreme King’s power. And it looked like he didn’t do it by brute force, but by the classic hot-blooded protagonist "preaching," moving others to willingly entrust him with everything.

That made the Supreme King’s power even purer, blending perfectly with himself.

Proof? The Super Polymerization he played could fuse even Wicked Gods, and the monster that resulted—Neos Lord—symbolized Jaden’s complete fusion with the Supreme King, transforming Neos into an "evil soul" state.

In the anime, Jaden was said to master the Supreme King’s power in the end, but the Supreme King’s Evil HEROes vanished, and there was never a fusion like Neos Lord.

"Still, the fusion requirement is just Neos plus any effect monster?" Kira muttered.

So... basically no restriction?

That means Neos can fuse with any effect monster on the field. For some reason, it reminded him of his own Lava Golem...

No, no, it’s just that Jaden’s talent at "printing cards" is amazing. Nothing to do with me.

Kira stopped, standing in a patch of pitch-black.

At first glance, it seemed no different from the endless darkness before, but Kira sensed he’d reached the deepest part of the domain, near the enemy he was looking for.

A voice seemed to echo from the void:

"Welcome, Duel King, Kira Fujiki.

...Welcome to the paradise of darkness and fear."

Kira looked ahead. Shadows rose from the ground, shifting into human forms. Each shadow glared at him with hatred, eyes like murderers.

At the front, Kira recognized two figures.
