"Ryo, just like you passionately desire victory in your heart, my inner self is also crazily coveting all the beauty of this world!"
He wore an inexplicably eerie smirk on his face, yet the words he spoke differed entirely from his expression: "I hope for a perfect sibling relationship, I hope for wonderful friendships, I hope for adorable successors, I hope countless lovely girls idolize me, I hope Spirits can coexist peacefully, I hope my life is flawless, I hope no one ever again has to endure the pain I've experienced!"
Caesar looked at him puzzled: "I am already happy enough now! There's no need for you to say more."
"No — not enough, it's not enough, not enough!"
"I return three Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Meteor Dragon from the Graveyard to the Deck, and draw two cards!"
He glanced at the drawn cards and revealed one of them: "Red-Eyes Insight, send a Red-Eyes Monster from Hand Card·Deck to the Graveyard to activate. Add a Red-Eyes Spell and Trap Card except for Red-Eyes Insight from the Deck to the Hand Card. I'll send a Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the Deck to the Graveyard and add Return of the Red-Eyes to the Hand Card!"
"With this, it's almost done—"
Fubuki looked at the cards in his hand, then raised his head to glance at Marufuji Ryo: "Ryo, I've heard from Hikari that using Cyber Dark will, during a duel, cause the Cyber Dark Spirit to electrify oneself, right!?"
"What!?" Everyone in the hall looked towards Tenjo Hikari.
"Ryo?!" Asuka instinctively covered her mouth with her hand.
"Brother!!!" Shou was so startled he jumped up and ran outside, the resilience he had built over these months seemed to vanish in an instant. It was only when Kenzan and Judai together stopped him that they managed to pull him back.
"... Tsk, I asked him to keep it a secret for me." Caesar lowered his voice.
"How could he possibly keep it from me!" Fubuki waved his hand broadly and said directly, "He's your close friend, am I not too? And this sort of thing, do you think I wouldn't notice?"
Indeed—
"Is it just this?" Caesar shook his head indifferently.
"Just this?" Fubuki shook his head, "I've already drunk the Electric Resistance Potion. So, feel free to use the Cyber Dark Monsters as much as you like."
"?" Caesar looked at him puzzled.
A moment later, he continued: "I only need victory, that's all, no matter what it takes, I only respect victory!
I'm tired of discerning the good and evil of every opponent, and too lazy to respect those who aren't worth respecting at all. Therefore, all I need to do is respect victory!"
With sheer indifference, he clenched his fist and looked to the sky: "As long as there's an instant, as long as I can achieve ultimate victory in that instant, the most glamorous victory, the strongest victory, then, even with death, a duelist's life will be worth the thrill, won't it?"
Surpassing life and death, disregarding one's own life, what a duelist needs to care about is only the duel. That's how Caesar thinks.
His duel only needs to respect one thing.
And that is — respect the duel!
"Brother?" As Shou watched the live broadcast, he was dumbfounded.
"That's why I said it's still not enough—"
"Hmm?"
"Without controlling the Spirit, without surpassing the Spirit, still having to endure the attacks from the Cyber Dark Spirit, at this degree, are you satisfied?" Fubuki's black aura grew ever more intense, gradually rendering the protective shield built by the Lightsworn Spirit unable to guard — at this moment, countless birds flew in amidst cries, collectively exerting effort to uphold the shield.
"Don't forget, Hikari's Deck even contains Spirits with the true nature of 'Evil'."
"You—" Caesar's expression finally completely changed.
He looked at this brother who had been with him day and night and discovered for the first time.
Fubuki—seems to have progressed further than me on the path of dueling!
"You want victory, right! Then, surpass your current self, otherwise, you absolutely won't defeat me!" A cracking sound arose from his body, as if his body were sparking.
"I Normal Summon — Simorgh, Bird of Bringing!"
Divine Bird!?
Not Red-Eyes!?
Caesar's pupils contracted.
"Simorgh!!!???"
Countless people followed with an exclamation.
No one has ever seen you use these cards!
Only Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow without speaking.
After all...
This was the Spirit Card Fubuki obtained when visiting [Mountain] back then.
