Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Two Hearts as One

"Impossible. Just a mirror image."

"It was only..."

The Supreme King’s golden pupils contracted.

He looked up and saw the abyssal darkness swirling around him begin to dissolve.

As if a small flame had ignited in that icy abyss—so tiny, so seemingly insignificant against all that darkness—yet stubbornly burning, blooming within the night.

The boy in red walked forward from within that flame.

"...Why?"

The Supreme King asked, incredulous.

He was genuinely confused.

His Evil HEROes were a complete upgrade—just like the symbol of himself compared to that boy. He was the one with power, stripped of needless feelings, existing solely to win, never to lose again.

So why did he still lose to this person?

"Maybe you really are stronger than me," Jaden said with a smile. "Through our duel, I felt your strength—honestly, it’s a power I can’t compare to."

"But even so, I still won. Because I have something you don’t."

The Supreme King looked at him, blank.

"Like I said," Jaden chuckled, gesturing at his Deck, "irreplaceable partners."

"In the past year, I’ve seen possibilities in dueling I’d never imagined. I realized that even the HEROes I thought I knew inside out still had avenues I’d never discovered."

"He taught me all that."

"He also taught me, first of all, that dueling isn’t always joy—it can be heavy. As duelists, we must bear the cruelty of victory and defeat."

"Our losses might affect the destinies of those we aim to protect."

"Our victories might harm those we have to defeat."

Jaden spoke softly.

"I only vaguely understood that before. After facing you today—after our duel—I truly understand. All this time, you carried the darkest burden for me. Thank you."

"But just like I said, from now on—the pain, the guilt of battle—we’ll bear it together."

"..."

Jaden thought he’d delivered a pretty good speech.

He hadn’t planned it out, but every word came from the heart. He understood now that this shadow of darkness really was part of himself—the darkness within that he’d lacked.

Everyone has inner darkness—especially powerful duelists. Even the Pharaoh back then had his own giant shadow.

Light and shadow have always coexisted; without that darkness, one is incomplete.

So Jaden had decided to face his inner darkness head-on. From now on, the darkness and sins the Supreme King bore, he would shoulder them too, and keep moving forward.

He felt it should have been a moving scene.

Until the Supreme King, as if reminded of something, suddenly glared at him with those murderous golden eyes.

In a flash, the Supreme King remembered the duel in the other dimension.

That egg that suddenly gobbled up his three strongest Evil HEROes, and that Kuriboh that slapped him to death like an insult.

He could still savor the humiliation of that slap.

And now the dignified Elemental HEROes were being looped into a miserable lockdown by his sunny mirror image. A four-attribute fusion Electrum—such a heroic big brother—had been twisted into an infinite Catapult Turtle battery...

The style clicked into place all at once.

"The friend you mentioned," the Supreme King said stiffly, "was that guy from last time?"

"Eh?"

Jaden’s mood jarred to a halt.

He scratched his head, a bit sheepish.

"You mean Kira? How did you know?"
