Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 979

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: The Supreme King’s Choice

Realizing what had happened, Jaden was overwhelmed with emotion and speechless for a long time.

He didn’t know how to face this other, darker self.

At first, he’d felt nothing but hatred for the Supreme King.

The first time he heard of the Supreme King, he only knew him as a byword for evil. He’d seen the suffering of the other dimension’s people, the oppression.

Later, Jaden learned the Supreme King was his own opposite, and hated him even more, desperate to deny and destroy this part of himself.

But eventually, he understood—the Supreme King was the embodiment of all his past darkness. Because the Supreme King carried away all his pain and negativity, Jaden could now be so pure.

Jaden had never imagined he’d one day mourn the loss of his dark persona.

Nor had he ever imagined the Supreme King would die in this way—for his sake.

"You knew all along," Jaden said sadly. "You told me to unleash Super Polymerization, but you knew what it meant. You’d already decided to become its sacrifice..."

"There’s nothing to regret."

The Supreme King’s voice was weak, but still held an unchallengeable authority. Faint as it was, it still rang with power.

"You should know, I am nothing but your darkness. All your pain and regret gathered together—that’s me.

Now that you’ve let go of your past and conquered your inner darkness, I no longer need to exist."

"But... I finally... finally understood you... finally..."

"Don’t act like a coward."

The Supreme King’s tone was harsh, but then softened.

"Jaden Yuki, you are the Supreme King. Now that you’ve conquered your darkness, you’ve reclaimed your own power. I belong only to the past—a dark, unbearable past. Let it go, and move on.

Step into the future, Jaden Yuki!"

His final words echoed in the darkness. For a moment, he seemed once more the ruler of twelve dimensions, standing atop the Supreme King’s Castle, his cloak fluttering like a banner in the night, forever.

Jaden sat cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes.

"Jaden?"

Yubel asked with concern. She didn’t know what had happened inside Jaden, but could sense the change in his aura, and noticed his mood was off.

"...It’s nothing."

Jaden shook his head softly.

"I just said goodbye to an old friend."

Yubel was taken aback. She also knew about Super Polymerization, and recalled the moment in the duel when Jaden unleashed it. She now guessed what had happened.

Yubel knew she’d been saved by Super Polymerization—without its power, she would never have escaped the grip of the Light of Destruction. In a way, the Supreme King had sacrificed himself for her.

Though she knew the Supreme King was just Jaden’s darkness, he had become an independent personality. She felt a deep sorrow, unsure what to say, and simply sat quietly by Jaden’s side.

The two sat in silence for a long while until Jaden finally spoke.

"Yubel, was that thing that possessed you... an Evil God?"

No matter what happened, no matter the challenge, he had never truly worried—because deep down, he always felt someone would back him up. No matter how big the problem, Kira could always handle it. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
