Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, a Level 8 Higher Fiend, the supreme ruler of the Dark World, and the most vicious and evil demon of the Dark World.
He is the last of the four generals under the Supreme King. He is cruel, ruthless, treating life like mere weeds, but his strength is exceptionally powerful as well.
And at this very moment, this ruler has personally ascended the hill, leading his entire force behind him, facing the conquerors from another realm.
He raised the pitch-black, sinister Duel Disc in his hand, shouting fiercely: "Invaders! Let your blood serve as decoration for my fortress walls!"
Answering him was a dragon's roar that shook the heavens. The white dragon, wrapped in holy radiance, soared into the sky, its incandescent brilliance sweeping away a thousand troops!
The dragon's intimidation made the Dark World soldiers almost unable to lift their heads, all daring only to shout bravely, yet not daring to look directly at the position where the white dragon was.
Kaiba Seto stood atop the dragon's smooth, silver-white head, his white trench coat billowing like a cloak behind him, sneering contemptuously: "Are you the ruler of this dimension?
Ha, it seems you're just like the others. Someone like you will be obliterated in an instant by my 'Blue-Eyes'."
Grapha, enraged, gestured for his subordinates to step back, and directly engaged the Duel Disc: "Don't speak so boldly, outsider. Let me show you the despairing terror of the Dark World!"
"..."
A few minutes later.
"Hahaha!!! Durable! Invincible! Strongest! Pulverize! Jade Shattering! Cheers!!"
Kaiba Seto raised his arm high.
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's attack, triple blast! Weakling like you, disappear into dust for me!"
The Ultimate Dragon's three heads simultaneously opened their mouths, unleashing endless white light! The destructive energy beams shattered the summoned "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World", piercing unimpeded, instantly annihilating the original as well, reducing it to rubble.
"Ughhhh!"
[Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, LP 0]
The soldiers were dumbfounded.
Damn it! Boss was blasted into bits!
The remaining soldiers, already terrified by the Ultimate Dragon's god-like spirit, now lost all desire to fight upon seeing their boss obliterated.
The invasion of the Dark World dimension went more smoothly than expected, with hardly any major hindrances.
Because President Haima suddenly intervened and snatched the easily winnable duel, Youyu found himself with little to do...
The next Dimension Gate was somewhere in the Dark World. Breaking through the Dark World and passing through the next gate to enter the Supreme King Castle seemed just a matter of time.
Nonetheless, it appeared unnecessary.
As the battle turned completely in favor of Youyu and others, and the outcome seemed almost determined, a powerful and indescribable pressure suddenly enveloped the entire field.
It was as if someone, by their own force, drew the entire battlefield into an unknown domain.
Youyu was familiar with that feeling.
Ed and Manjome quickly realized as well—after all, they had directly faced that terrifying opponent before.
A pitch-black shadow slowly walked out, stood at the forefront of the Dark World army. His footsteps brought invisible darkness rapidly expanding, sweeping away the dragon's oppression.
The Supreme King.
Their target of this journey.
"You wish to find me." He said coldly, "I've come."
"Saved us quite a bit of effort." Youyu smiled, "Also saves us from going to the Supreme King Castle to find you, slaughtering your minions along the way would be quite troublesome.
Seems like you've recovered well, haven't you fully healed from last time's injury?"
The Supreme King's face darkened.
"You won't get lucky like last time." He said dryly.
"No!" Kaiba swept forward, "This time your opponent is me!"
Finally, there's a worthy opponent, this time it cannot be left to the detestable You↑yu↓!
"No..."
A voice of a young man emerged from behind them.
Seeing the person stepping out of the crew, a hint of surprise appeared in the Supreme King's golden pupils.
"You?"
"It's me."
Standing before him was a young man with identical features, identical appearance.
Yuki Judai.
Just as the friends at Duel Academy were fighting for him in the Other Dimension, he awakened.
He was very weak, still bearing irreplaceable gaps mentally, but he stubbornly awoke.
Hearing that teachers and friends went to the Other Dimension for him, he contacted President Haima voluntarily, hoping to find a way to come and help.
Just as President Haima collected the energy and data generated from Youyu and Yusei's Riding Duel, researching Dimensional Travel technology, he brought him along.
Youyu glanced at Judai, whose current state was visibly poor.
"Are you sure you want this?" Youyu asked.
Judai's condition indeed wasn't reassuring. For the first time in his life, he lost the Supreme King's power, separating from what should be part of his own soul into two independent entities.
Nobody knows what effect this will have on him.
But Judai was adamant: "Yes, I must. I know it's a bit selfish, Youyu sensei, but this duel—only this duel—is truly my battle."
He turned his head to look at the Supreme King, with resolute eyes.
"Wait," Ed interrupted him, "You may not be aware, this guy is extremely strong, not someone you can handle in your current state!"
"Ed is right." Manjome frowned, "Patients should stay in bed, leave this to us..."
"Thank you," Judai smiled, "But I'm afraid that's not possible."
Pausing, he showed rare seriousness.
"I must win this duel. If in my life there's only one duel that must be won, it's definitely now.
I can't let others fight this duel for me, not even you, teacher."
"... Understood." Youyu patted his shoulder.
Indeed, perhaps this is the hurdle Judai needs to overcome himself.
Only by defeating the Supreme King head-on can he completely vanquish that dark alter ego, absorbing that power, transforming it into his own.
This is also a crucial opportunity for his growth.
"Then be careful."
Judai equipped the Duel Disc and stepped forward.
"Alright, the dark version of me!" he took a deep breath, "Let's end this!"
"Suited to my wishes." The Supreme King likewise activated his Duel Disc, speaking coldly, "Your existence itself is an error. And now, that error will be corrected!"
"Duel!" x2
