Just as You Feng called out, a pillar of radiance poured down from the horizon. The light resembled a stairway to heaven, appearing both magnificent and ethereal.
You Feng glanced at the people around him, but it seemed no one else could see this brilliance.
Could it be that I am the only one who can see this holy light? You Feng furrowed his brows. Soon, a slender, graceful figure descended slowly from the sky. She possessed a pair of pale gold wings and wore a regal crown. Her face was of peerless beauty, her figure proud and commanding, and her gaze felt as though it could pierce through a person's very soul.
She came before You Feng, stopping only a breath away from his lips. It looked as if she might kiss him at any moment, but she paused, reaching out with a soft hand as fair as suet jade to gently caress his cheek.
You Feng froze, feeling the unmistakable warmth of her touch.
"You Feng... I am Holactie the Creator of Light! It was I who entrusted you with that mysterious task. Now that you have mastered the Three Egyptian Gods, I can finally become your Guardian Spirit! Take this card!" Holactie's voice was like a heavenly melody, pleasant to the ear and filled with divine resonance.
"The Creator of Light!!" You Feng was stunned. He had considered the possibility of obtaining the Holactie the Creator of Light card once he gathered the Three Egyptian Gods, but he never expected that Holactie herself would become his Guardian Spirit.
You Feng knew that with the Creator of Light as his Guardian Spirit, his strength would surely reach new heights.
What surprised him even more was her sheer beauty; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was mesmerizing. Moreover, they were actually able to touch, a sensation as real as any human contact.
"Actually, I don't quite understand what you mean by 'Guardian Spirit.' After all, once your soul coexists with mine, will the cards I draw really be different?" You Feng asked with a smile.
"Mmm... that is exactly what I was going to explain. In truth, card drawing is governed by Fortune; it is never truly random!" Holactie explained.
You Feng raised an eyebrow. Is it really like that?
"You can see that the Fortune of duelists like Yugi and Kaiba is much better than most. That is because a Bond exists between a duelist and their deck. This Bond depends on the time you spend with your cards, your compatibility, trust, understanding, and the heart you put into them. All of these affect your Fortune!"
"The higher the Fortune, the higher the mathematical probability of drawing the card your heart desires. While it isn't a fixed guarantee, once Fortune reaches a certain level, they develop hidden skills."
"In moments of crisis, the card Yugi thinks of will inevitably appear. However, this skill can only be used once, and he must be in a Low LP State."
"As for Kaiba, he almost always has Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his opening hand—that is the Bond of the White Tiger!"
"And I! I can possess all the skills they have, and I have unique skills of my own that they do not. In other words, as long as our intimacy is high enough, those skills will be activated one by one."
"So, do you still think this Guardian Spirit is just for show?" To make You Feng feel more comfortable, Holactie stopped using formal pronouns and spoke in terms that were easy for him to accept.
You Feng was incredibly excited. When he watched the anime in the past, he never understood why Yami Yugi always came out to show off. Did the cards really change just because he was the one playing?
Now he understood the cards truly would be different. It turned out there were automatic skills triggered in the shadows. Holactie had just said that as long as their intimacy was high enough, the power of the Guardian Spirit would grow stronger. This mention of "intimacy" made You Feng's thoughts wander into more suggestive territory.
Soon, Holactie entered You Feng's body. On his forehead, she left a faint golden wing pattern. At a glance, it looked exceptionally sharp, significantly boosting his overall "cool factor."
You Feng drew the Holactie the Creator of Light card from his hand.
*Holactie the Creator of Light*
*DIVINE Attribute / Level 12 / Divine-Beast*
*ATK ? / DEF ?*
"You Feng... what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Téa Gardner had already reached his side, speaking in a soft, worried voice.
"Pfft, I already won. Why are you still so worried?" You Feng snapped back to reality and tucked the Creator of Light card away. He reached out and pulled Téa into his arms to comfort her.
"While you were fighting, I was worried every single second! It's a pity I couldn't help at all." Téa knew she was useless in a duel; all she could do was worry.
"Who said you can't help?" You Feng cupped her pretty face in his hands and spoke softly.
"You Feng..." Téa blinked.
"You can cheer for me..." You Feng whispered a sentence into her ear. After hearing it, Téa's face instantly flushed crimson.
