Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749: Chapter 749: On the Eve of War

"Did you have fun?"

Jaden was speechless. Truth is, Jaden is a "duel for fun" type; he usually enjoys his duels. But he also knew that the "fun" Kira spoke of often wasn’t the same as his.

When Jaden’s having fun, the opponent might also enjoy themselves if luck’s on their side.

When Kira is having fun, the opponent usually suffers.

So that otherworld Supreme King—hopefully the guy’s okay...

Oddly, they’d roamed that otherworld instance so long, across dimension after dimension, where everyone feared the Supreme King as a god with none daring to defy him—the strongest existence, by all accounts.

Yet even after hearing so much, when Jaden learned Kira faced the Supreme King, his instinct was: that Supreme King’s going to have a bad time.

He’d never actually met the Supreme King himself—only legends—but even so, he felt that no matter how strong that guy was, when he met Kira he’d end up flat on his face...

"So, did you already take him out?"

Jaden suddenly felt a bit deflated.

Finally, a big-shot opponent—and the headhunter Kira nabbed the kill again...

"Not this time," Kira shook his head. "That wasn’t his true body. His real self remains in the Supreme King’s dimensional citadel; he came here by using you as a medium.

I can drive him back for now, but I can’t annihilate him."

"You’re making me afraid to sleep," Jaden grumbled.

He was now wide awake. Even a big-hearted guy like Jaden couldn’t stay calm at the thought of a demon lord intruding when he slept.

"Exactly. So I think we should ask for leave tomorrow, head to the Supreme King’s citadel, and end this in one go."

Kira paused, studying Jaden for a moment.

"What?" Jaden asked.

"No, nothing," Kira hesitated. "But this time... it may have to be you."

"Me?" Jaden blinked.

"Yes," Kira said. "Like I’ve said, the Supreme King is essentially the darkness in your own heart. Even if I defeat his true body at the citadel, as long as you live, the Supreme King can awaken again."

He thought of the original story.

In GX, candidate MVP teammate Axel once risked his life to go down with the Supreme King, claiming the Supreme King was gone and only Jaden’s personality remained. But later, the Supreme King wasn’t truly gone—just suppressed deep within.

The Supreme King is Jaden’s inner darkness, and inner darkness can never be truly erased. Given the right conditions, it can always reawaken.

Yet throughout GX, Jaden never confronted the Supreme King himself.

That’s what Kira was weighing now. In every Yu-Gi-Oh series, the strongest duelists must face their inner darkness. Running away, or outsourcing the job, is no real solution. Only by facing your greatest darkness, overcoming it—or even turning it into your own strength—can you truly break through.

Kira hesitated, wondering if Jaden was ready.

It’s like a tribulation—a chance for Jaden to break his limit and evolve, but with great risk.

If Jaden failed, his personality might be devoured by his inner darkness. The Supreme King would return in full.

Even then, it wouldn’t be hopeless. The original series proved you could still beat the Supreme King in a duel. But it would be messy, uncertain, and hardly guaranteed.

Still, Jaden had already faced the Arbiter, met Koyo, and gained Gentle Darkness’s power. Kira judged that his growth was about there. He had to face the Supreme King himself.
