Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Dark Fusion

Jaden had dreamed of this moment more than once.

In truth, even those who seemed closest to him didn’t truly understand him. The minion who trailed him day and night, the classmates at his side, the rivals who often connected with him through duels...

Each thought they understood him. They were all wrong.

They didn’t know the real Jaden Yuki.

Jaden was rare: outwardly warm, inwardly cold. He looked carefree, a thoroughgoing optimist—but that was the image he allowed others to see.

He buried his thoughts deep, leaving only the strongest, most optimistic front to others.

Just like now.

Ever since learning about the Supreme King, not a single day had passed without him thinking about it. The darkness in his heart, the tyrant who exploited and ruled another world—that was an opponent he had to defeat, a fate he had to face.

And now he had come here—to the Supreme King’s castle, to the deepest chamber.

To face that black armor: the physical form of the most terrifying darkness he had hidden for years—so deep he might not even have known it existed.

Jaden faced the Supreme King; the Supreme King faced Jaden.

It felt strange, like looking into a mirror. He could faintly sense that the figure in the mirror was himself—only darker, more dreadful.

The two stood in silence, face to face, as the air grew denser, each breath heavier.

"So you’re the Supreme King," Jaden said.

But the moment he spoke, it felt odd to say that to a face identical to his own.

"The darkness... in my heart," Jaden murmured.

"No."

The Supreme King spoke too. The same voice, but stripped of all emotion, stiff as if altered.

"You are the weakness in my heart," he said. "The only weakness. But after today—"

The Supreme King opened his unique Duel Disk.

"That weakness will be destroyed."

Jaden took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

What must come will come. What must be faced must be faced.

Today. This very moment.

He would sever himself from himself.

"Duel!" ×2

"I’ll go first. Draw."

The Supreme King drew and, without hesitation, summoned a monster.

"I set Elemental HERO Clayman in defense."

The thick-bodied clay hero landed on the field. The Clayman card hovered horizontally beneath him as he crouched defensively, arms crossed.

It was the exact same card as Jaden’s—but even this Elemental HERO seemed corrupted, his eyes glowing a dangerous dark red.

"Clayman..." Jaden’s expression was complicated.

Facing an opponent with the same face, using the same Elemental HEROes—it felt... peculiar.

"I set one card. Turn end," said the Supreme King.
