Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 731

Chương 731: Chapter 731: The Sealed Souls

"F-Father?"

Aster stared blankly at the blood-red, monstrous HERO on the field, stunned.

My father was devoured by the Plasma he created...? That has to be a lie.

No, impossible. How absurd—

But the next moment, he saw something that shattered his reason.

A human face began to emerge grotesquely on Plasma's bone wings. It squirmed, sprouting a nose and mouth, and even wore the glasses Aster knew so well.

Even though it was embedded in Plasma's body—shadowed and indistinct—its form instantly overlapped with Aster's memories.

"Dad!?"

Aster was so shocked he could barely think.

"Yes, your beloved father," The D laughed. "He was the first soul devoured by the Plasma he designed, and he's been trapped in the card ever since. Of course, he died long ago. What remains in Plasma is an unquiet soul. Ironic, isn't it?"

Aster clenched his fists, shaking with fury.

"The D, you scum!"

More disturbingly, the face on Plasma turned with effort, looked his way, and spoke.

"A-Aster, you've grown..."

"Father!"

Aster nearly rushed forward but collided with an invisible barrier and was blocked.

He realized then this duel had transcended the ordinary. Some kind of barrier encased the combatants; no outsider could enter.

He could only claw at the barrier and shout, "Dad!"

"Seeing how far you've come, I have no regrets," Mr. Phoenix said solemnly from within Plasma. "Listen, Aster. I made a mistake—a grave one.

Before Plasma was born, I heard it—the voice of the Light that would destroy the world."

"The voice of Light?" Aster froze.

"Yes. I tried to resist—truly—but I failed," Mr. Phoenix said with remorse. "They say Pegasus created the Egyptian God Cards under something like mind control, because he couldn't resist the Gods' power.

I fully understand that state now. I couldn't resist the influence of the Light of Destruction, and I designed this forbidden card—a card that should never have existed.

Not just because it's too strong, but because it was born for destruction. And as you can see, I paid the price..."

"No, Dad!" Aster rasped. "There must be another way..."

"There isn't. The Light energy lodged in this Ultimate D must be destroyed along with the souls imprisoned within it."

Mr. Phoenix's voice hardened.

"And this is only the beginning. The Light has begun to spread on Earth. A far stronger Light has arrived; the world is on a path to ruin. Only the strongest duelist can stop it."

His gaze softened.

"I thought the one to release me would be you, Aster. But that would be too cruel. If you don't have to do it yourself, all the better.

Live well, Aster. Surpass me. Become far better than I ever was."
