# Chapter 176: Yugi: Hayato Says, Let's Go!

Hayato felt himself being swallowed by the Darkness.

His last Consciousness lingered in the instant before the Attack of Thousand-Eyes Restrict was about to hit. His last memory was Yugi's shout, and his last feeling was a pain that felt carved into his Soul.

"How pathetic, really. Compared to other Transmigrator seniors, I'm probably the most embarrassing one at Dueling, huh?" Laughing self-deprecatingly, Hayato felt his eyelids were super, super heavy. He really wanted to just fall asleep like this.

Just close them for a moment, just a moment...

Just rest for a little while...

"Kuriboh!" A cry came from beside his ear.

But it couldn't wake Hayato.

"Aniki!" The noisy voice was really annoying.

Hayato remained in deep sleep.

"Master!" Was it Gaia? Don't be so loud.

He slept peacefully like an infant.

"Fus Ro Dah!" A few dragon roars, probably the Armed Dragons? Whatever.

Hayato's Will seemed to sink into the Darkness like this.

But just then, he heard a Strange voice—

"How unsightly and pathetic. I will not acknowledge such a you." A voice like the sun came, accompanied by dazzling golden Light.

Under the strong light, Hayato found it truly difficult to sleep peacefully. He struggled to open his Eyes wide and see which bastard was so inconsiderate. But just then, he suddenly woke up.

"Hayato!" Yugi's shout was in his ear. Only then did Hayato realize he was actually lying face down on the Duel Platform.

"Hayato, are you okay!" Yugi's voice was full of urgency. Although the pain in his Body hadn't lessened at all, somehow, Hayato felt he could still endure it. Supporting himself on the platform with one hand to get up, Hayato replied, "For now, I won't die."

"Oh? You weren't burned out by Thousand-Eyes Restrict's Attack?" Pegasus looked at Hayato with interest. "Losing your Will now would be your happiness. Waking up will only bring misfortune. Because the Path ahead of your Destiny is only one—and that is, to be dragged into the bottomless Darkness by my Thousand-Eyes Restrict!"

"My Turn, End Turn."

[Pegasus: 1000 LP]

[Thousand-Eyes Restrict] (Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Staff of Destruction) [ATK 3000]

"I refuse to accept a Future like that." Supporting himself on the Duel Platform with both hands, Hayato had successfully woken up, but the previous 3000 points of Damage had genuinely harmed his Body. Hayato felt like he could really faint at any moment now. "The existence of a Path should never be decided by others. We ourselves should be the ones to walk the Path of Destiny."

"If the Path ahead is Darkness, then we will use the Bonds we've gathered to create a brand new Path of Radiance! As long as the Light of Bonds still exists, the Darkness of death will never be able to swallow us!" Yugi was also very happy to see Hayato wake up and responded to his words. "Pegasus, we'll show you the Future created by Bonds!"

"At the instant your Turn ends, I Activate my Set Card, Graverobber! I Activate it by paying 1000 of my Life Points! *Cough*!" Yugi finally opened the Card he had Set for a long time. Because of the Life Point Payment, he stumbled, almost falling off the Duel Platform. "It's just 1000 Life Points! Compared to the Damage you inflicted on Hayato, it's not worth mentioning at all!"

[Yugi: 1700 → 700 LP]

"Choose a Card from my Graveyard?" Pegasus didn't care. "There are no Monsters or Cards in my Graveyard that can defeat Thousand-Eyes Restrict. Your Struggle is just an ugly and useless effort before your defeat!"

"Heh, Pegasus, I think you completely misunderstand Duel Monsters." Hayato said with a laugh to stay awake. "The most important thing about Duel Monsters has never been the Monsters on the Field or a rich Hand. The most important thing is actually just the Life Points of both players."

"My and Yugi's Life Points are both 700 points, lower than your 1000 points. This kind of Life Points, like a Flickering Candle, already declares our Victory."

"Hmph, has your brain been burned out by the Dark Game?" Pegasus snorted coldly and Spread Open his Graveyard. "Choose the Card you want to steal, Mutou Yuugi. Anyway, this Turn is your last Struggle!"

But to Pegasus's Accident, the Card Yugi ultimately chose was not one of his Toon Monsters, nor a powerful Draw Card like Card of Sanctity, but Dark Fusion, which he had just Activated this Turn.

"According to Graverobber's Effect, if a Monster is chosen, it can be Special Summoned to the Field. If a Spell/Trap Card is chosen, its Effect can be Activated directly." Yugi panted heavily with exhaustion, struggling to Activate the transferred Dark Fusion on the Field. "I, I use Dark Fusion..."

*'This is enough, Partner.'* A gentle voice entered Yugi's ear. *'Leave the rest to me and Hayato.'*

*'Then, I'll leave it to you, The Other Me...'*

"I use the Effect of Dark Fusion!" Sweeping away his previous weakness, Dark Yugi, who had taken over from Yugi Mutou, said in a clear voice, "By Banishing Monsters from the Graveyard Face-down Position from the Game, I Special Summon a Monster. However, you should be very familiar with this Effect, Pegasus."

As Yugi spoke, he drew the Dark Magician Card from his Graveyard and looked to the other side: "Hayato, let's go!"

"Ah, go ahead, Yugi. Just like before." Hayato smiled and drew Performapal Sky Magician from his Graveyard.

"Dark Magician, Performapal Sky Magician, a Fusion of your two Ace Monsters?"

Yugi: "The condition is Dark Magician and a Spellcaster-Type Monster!"

Hayato: "Banish the two, let's go!"

The two placed the Cards in their Hands onto the Field together. The Power of Duel Monsters transformed into a miracle of Light at this moment, and a brand new Fusion Monster appeared out of thin air on their Field—

"Fusion Summon! Master of Chaos!!!" X2

Yugi's Dark Magician and Hayato's Performapal Sky Magician, the two Monsters stood side by side on the Field, their Mystical Power connecting behind them to form a giant Magic Circle.

[Master of Chaos] [8☆/Dark]

[Spellcaster Type/Fusion/Effect]

[2800/2300 → 1300/2300]

Before it could look cool for too long, Thousand-Eyes Restrict, completely disregarding the "no attacking during transformation" rule signed between heroes and monsters, bound Master of Chaos with purple Light in an unsportsmanlike manner.

Originally on high alert, seeing Master of Chaos's ATK drop to only 1300 and failing to be Immune to Thousand-Eyes Restrict's attack-Locking "Thousand-Eyes Binding", Pegasus burst into laughter: "Hayato Kobayashi, Mutou Yuugi! You two really are the best comedians in the world!"

"Is this all there is to your so-called Bonds?"

"Hmph, Pegasus, don't forget, my Turn has just begun." Yugi sneered, placing his Finger on his Deck, drawing a Card, and Activating it. "Spell Card One-Shot Wand, Equip it to Master of Chaos."

A Wand appeared before Master of Chaos. Dark Magician was about to take it, but Performapal Sky Magician, standing beside him, snatched it and took it into his own Hand.

[Master of Chaos] [ATK 1300 → 1700]

"At the same time, I Activate the Effect of Master of Chaos!" Yugi placed his Hand on the Deck again. "Once per Turn, when a Spell/Trap Card is Activated, I can Draw a Card from my Deck. If it's a Spell/Trap Card, I Set that Card."

"If it's a Quick-Play Spell or a Trap Card, that Card can also be Activated directly this Turn," Hayato said. "Just a reminder, Pegasus, there's a Breakthrough Skill in Yugi's Deck."

"Hmph, Mutou Yuugi's Deck still has so many Cards, how could he possibly Draw that Card!" Although he said this, Pegasus felt fear. If Yugi really Drew that Breakthrough Skill, he would lose!

"That's not how it works, Pegasus." Yugi didn't hesitate and directly Drew that Card. "For a True Duelist, everything is inevitable. Even the result of a Draw a Card can be created by oneself!"

"The Card I Drew is—" Yugi revealed the Card. "Breakthrough Skill!"

Hayato pointed his Hand towards Thousand-Eyes Restrict: "Troublesome Effects end here! Loser, Leave Field!"

The air shattered. Thousand-Eyes Restrict, which had been spreading its evil Mystical Power around, was horrified to find that its proud and powerful Mystical Power was stripped from its Body in an instant.

The "Thousand-Eyes Binding" that suppressed Attacks lost the Power to maintain itself. Its dense Eyes closed one by one, and even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon it had swallowed took this opportunity to break free from its Bone Wings, glaring at it from the air!

[Thousand-Eyes Restrict] [3000/2500 → 0/0]

[Master of Chaos] [ATK 1700 → 3600]

"Now is the Final Blow, Pegasus!" Looking at the panicked Pegasus, Yugi growled in a cold voice, "Pay for the Sins you've committed! On the Path to hell, count your Sins one by one!"

"At this point, can you even count them all?" Hayato sneered. "Pegasus, Duel Monsters should be a game that brings happiness, but you used it to inflict pain on others and steal their smiles. As a Gift to send you off, how about Despair?"

Yugi glanced at Hayato, finding that he was also looking his way, and smiled helplessly: "Just this once, I'll cooperate with you."

"After all, you're the Final Boss. It would be a shame not to have a decisive Lines for the Victory or Defeat."

Like mirrors, the two raised their arms, forming the shape of Handguns and pointing at Thousand-Eyes Restrict. In front of them, Dark Magician and Performapal Sky Magician also synchronously struck the same pose.

"No, I can't lose like this! It shouldn't be me who loses!" Pegasus clearly couldn't accept the fact. "My great mind cannot disappear from the world! Mutou Yuugi! Hayato Kobayashi!"

Surging Mystical Power gathered into two spheres, floating before the two great Mages. As the Energy gathered to its limit, Hayato and Yugi shouted in unison:

"Jackpot!"
