Boom!
The fireball fell, and the black motorcycle was hit by flames, turning entirely into a burning fireball. After sparking a long trail, it crashed into the far wall, with the rider's body also rolling nearly half a street before hitting the wall at the end.
Yugen pulled the brake tightly, and after sliding sideways for a short distance, the vehicle stopped in front of the person.
He got off the bike and walked towards the rider.
"What are you doing!?"
Iwao stopped behind him at this moment, shouting.
"Stopping here will get us surrounded!"
Indeed, there were zombies on the street starting to gather towards them.
"It's alright, it won't take too long."
Yugen walked towards the fallen person... or rather, his card deck.
Although the tactics didn't work on Yugen, he still found the combo of Strong Pain and King Tiger quite interesting. It seemed there was room for development.
There was no way he would miss this card deck.
However, just as he was a few steps away, the seemingly lifeless rider suddenly twitched.
Yugen stopped and frowned slightly.
To endure a hit with infinite firepower in a Dark Duel, and then roll off the burning motorcycle at least eight hundred meters crashing here.
If he still wasn't dead, he was indeed like Superman...
...No, it should be said it's already a miracle that his body is still intact.
But even more bizarre was that after twitching, the rider's body struggled as if trying to stand up.
Or rather, it seemed something inside him was breaking free from the confinement of the flesh, about to burst forth.
Sure enough, when a thick dark aura exploded from his body, floating mid-air, the rider collapsed back like a puppet with cut strings, lying down without any movement.
It was like a demon finally breaking free of its chains, wildly rushing towards the night sky. Darkness churned and morphed mid-air, as if injected with life, continually expanding and contracting like a giant black bubble.
Within seconds, it began to form a vague outline. Though still blurry within the darkness, it seemed to faintly reveal the image of a huge monster.
With the monstrous body having a hideous form of countless legs, and those unveiled fangs in the darkness, Yugen immediately recalled a card, once popular in the environment, also a powerful boss in the original story...
"Are you Tragodia?" Yugen frowned.
"Hmm?"
The shadow also paused, seeming quite surprised.
"Kid, you know me?"
It really was...
Tragodia, known in the streets as Little Lobster due to his card appearance, is the final boss of the GX Manga.
As a boss, Tragodia had quite the presence, and the final battle in the manga was Judai and Chazz teaming up against him, and even together, they seemed unable to match Tragodia.
In the end, Judai used "Feathered Chestnut Ball" and Chazz's elf "Dragon of Light and Darkness" to fuse, summoning three thousand years ago the Grand Priest's avatar "Maut" who held the power of the Thousand-Year Silver Staff, one of the Seven Thousand-Year Divine Artifacts.
This card has also been realized as a physical card, and in the card art, you can see the priest holding Malik's Thousand-Year Silver Staff.
Maut lent his "power" to Judai, allowing Judai to briefly gain the same abilities as Pharaoh Atom during the Battle Ceremony—whatever he called would appear. Judai declared seven cards in a row, drawing seven consecutive cards from the deck, all the ones he wanted, a combo leaving the Little Lobster defenseless.
So in some ways, the Little Lobster's defeat was dictated by the plot; otherwise, he truly deserved to be the strongest boss among the GX Manga characters.
"Interesting. Three thousand years have passed, sealed for so long without seeing daylight, and in the present world, warriors have heard my name..."
Tragodia's eyes shimmered with vitality.
"You're good, very good indeed. You're the best duelist I've seen since awakening in today's world, hence, I'm offering you this chance.
You're different from the others, you'll become more than just food. I grant you the privilege to become my new proxy...
...after I devour your soul!"
As the swirling darkness surged forth, Yugen seemed to hear the screams of hell. The darkness opened a monstrous maw with a fierce stench and deathly air, the black storm like endless waves surging tumultuously.
Silent Magician and Chaos Warrior both dashed forth, blocking its path left and right.
"An elf?"
Tragodia snorted disdainfully.
"A mere elf... Aaaahhh!"
The beam from Silent Magic Burst exploded on its left side, a large chunk of darkness seemed to evaporate in the radiance. Chaos' Sword Qi sliced from the other side, and where the sword light flashed, darkness similarly dissipated, cutting through the massive body.
Tragodia let out a pig-like scream, halting its attack suddenly, hurriedly retreating, remembering something.
"Right, I lost the Dark Duel..."
The Little Lobster roared unwillingly and angrily, his eyes like two burning flames of darkness.
"Damn it! The backlash of the Dark Duel, I can't believe I'm being..."
If it came to a direct fight, he believed he feared no opponent in this world.
This was also one of Tragodia's personal traits, his self-perception was always quite positive, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so bold back then to directly challenge the priests who possessed the Millennium Items.
In his eyes, the so-called Millennium Items were nothing much, and all spirits of this era were trash, only the legendary Phantom Gods were worth battling. But now that the Phantom Gods were gone, he believed he possessed the courage similar to them.
From three thousand years ago, he was always so bold, though unlucky to be sealed and dormant, but now the Millennium Items were gone, the priests were gone, Pharaoh and the Three Phantom Gods were also gone, so naturally, he had become even bolder than before.
Of course, his confidence wasn't blind; Little Lobster did indeed possess strength, but he only had one major flaw.
That was—his mind wasn't too sharp.
At this moment, more of Yugen's elves were being summoned.
Chaos Warrior covered the left flank, Artificial Human Soga was on the right, Evil Emperor Gaius took center. Silent Magician guarded closely beside Yugen, but also continued bombarding with Silent Magic Burst.
A righteous surround!
And simultaneously, Yugen's chest suddenly radiated a dazzling golden light, seemingly channeling endless warmth into the elves through this brilliance.
Yugen sensed something, pulling out the "Sealing Artifact" from inside his jacket, a mini Millennium Puzzle Derivative.
The divine artifact, which had been inactive since he found it, suddenly began to radiate a dazzling glow, seemingly applying a strengthening buff to all his elves.
"This is... You... You are..."
Tragodia's body twisted under the golden light, screaming sharply.
"The accursed Pharaoh's power, why do you have..."
But by then, Chaos Warrior had flashed before him, wielding his long sword with both hands, letting out a clear shout, the sword of light and darkness struck down.
"Arrrghhh!"
Tragodia roared angrily and unwillingly, his body sliced by the sword light, breaking in half.
