The shadow of the God of Orichalcos behind Dartz released a dense surge of black energy. It rushed toward Aoi Kisaragi, swallowing her in an instant.
"Ah!"
Kisaragi cried out in pain.
"So this is the darkness of this world?"
"Kisaragi!"
Yugi prepared to rush over and save Kisara, but Kisaragi stretched out a hand and stopped him.
"Don't come any closer!"
"But—!"
"This darkness… the scale of this negative energy is no joke. Even with the power of the White Dragon, I can't fully withstand it," Kisaragi thought.
"Looks like I was still trying to play the hero too much," she murmured.
"Kisaragi!"
At that moment, Kaiba returned from the passage and came back into the chamber.
"Seto? Didn't you leave?" Kisaragi looked at him in disbelief.
"You woman… How dare you do something like this behind my back!"
Kaiba rushed forward and struck the dark energy surrounding Kisaragi, but the black power repelled him.
"Seto, Yugi, get out of here! The darkness of this planet is too powerful. If I can't withstand it, you'll both be caught up in it too!" Kisaragi shouted.
"Shut up!"
Kaiba showed no sign of leaving. Instead, he seized the black energy tightly, trying to tear open a gap and pull Kisaragi out.
Seeing this, the God of Orichalcos poured in even greater power, trying to blast Kaiba away again. Blood began to run from Kaiba's hands, but he refused to let go.
"Seto, enough! If you don't let go, you'll get hurt too!" Kisaragi cried.
"Shut up. I still haven't said the words buried deepest in my heart. There is no way I'm letting anything happen to you!"
"Now is not the time to listen to your feelings! Hurry up and go!" Kisaragi shouted.
Kaiba continued.
"The truth is, from the moment I first met you, you were like a beam of light shining into my heart. From that moment on, I decided that you were the person I, Seto Kaiba, would protect for the rest of my life. If something happens to you here today, I don't know what I'll do next!"
"So, Kisaragi, you cannot die!"
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Kisaragi's heart pounded violently. A blush spread across her cheeks.
"Y-you idiot! Why are you saying something like that at a time like this?!"
She scolded him, but even she did not notice the delight hidden in her voice.
"Don't worry, Seto. I won't die. I'm not willing to abandon such a wonderful life. And most importantly… I don't want to leave you either."
Kisaragi's voice grew quieter and quieter.
Ever since she learned she was a transmigrator, Kisaragi had consciously and unconsciously kept a distance from Kaiba.
Even before she transmigrated, when watching the anime, she had liked Kaiba more than the main cast. No matter what happened, he always held firmly to his own beliefs. But the more she came to understand him, the more extraordinary she found him. The more she saw of him, the more she wanted to stay by his side and see what kind of future he would create.
Kaiba's soul had been taken twice, and each time, the White Dragon inside her had gone berserk. At first, she had thought it was the original owner of this body acting on her own and feeling anger.
But during the duel with Dartz just now, she had realized something.
It was not her spirit going berserk.
It was her.
"Looks like I've already fallen all the way in. Maybe this was fate too."
Kisaragi laughed quietly to herself.
This was the first time Kisaragi had truly faced her own heart. Because of that, the White Dragon spirit within her released its power once more. The dark energy released by the God of Orichalcos was gradually suppressed, until the White Dragon spirit's Burst Stream of white light completely annihilated the body of the God of Orichalcos.
With the God of Orichalcos destroyed, rays of dawn pierced through the previously gloomy sky. The raging sea also returned to calm.
Once the dark energy around Kisaragi vanished, her body collapsed. But before she could fall, Kaiba caught her in his arms.
"Seto… Is that thing gone?" Kisaragi asked weakly.
"Yes. More importantly, you survived."
"Kisaragi! Kaiba! Are you all right?" Yugi ran over.
"Yugi, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
Yugi looked at Dartz lying on the ground. At that moment, a curtain of light appeared before him, and an old man and a young girl walked out.
"Dartz!"
"Father!"
"Who are they?" Yugi said.
Dartz looked toward the old man and called him Father, then looked toward the young girl and called her Chris.
"Dartz, the karma you bore has now been taken on by that young girl," the old man said.
"Thank you. Thank you for saving my father," Chris said.
"I also thank you. Now, return to your world. Your new future is waiting for you beyond that door," the old man said.
Kaiba nodded, then lifted Kisaragi into his arms and walked toward the exit. Yugi followed closely behind them.
"Seto, put me down. I can walk!" Kisaragi said, her face red.
"Be quiet. Listen to me!"
Not only did Kaiba refuse to let go, he held her even tighter.
Yugi watched them with a smile on his face.
"It seems the power that defeats darkness is not only light, but also something called love," the old man said.
"Father, we should rest too. Mother is waiting for us," Chris said.
Dartz smiled at the young girl and nodded.
Outside the temple, the entire structure was close to collapsing. However, only Joey came running out alone, his face covered in bruises.
"Joey, where's Yugi? And Kisaragi and Kaiba?" Téa asked.
"Don't even ask. At first, only Yugi and Kisaragi stayed behind to cover us. Then Kaiba got worried and ran back in. I tried to stop him, but he beat me up and went back anyway."
Joey rubbed the bruises on his face.
"You mean President Kaiba still hasn't come out?!" Isono rushed over and said.
"Yeah."
"Then what do we do?"
The moment Téa finished speaking, Kaiba rushed out with Kisaragi in his arms, with Yugi following right behind him.
"Isono, start the helicopter!" Kaiba shouted.
"Yes, sir!" Isono replied excitedly.
Everyone boarded the helicopter. Kaiba placed Kisaragi in a seat.
At that moment, the three Legendary Knights appeared before Kisaragi, shocking everyone.
"Thank you, young girl who possesses the spirit of the White Dragon. With this, our long-held wish has finally been fulfilled. Now, it is time for us to say farewell as well."
"However, a fragment of our power should remain in your deck. Consider it our repayment to you."
After saying that, the Three Knights vanished from the helicopter and flew into the distance.
Meanwhile, the three Legendary Dragon cards in Yugi's, Kaiba's, and Joey's decks gradually disappeared.
"Hmph. So all of this was just a dream," Kaiba said as he watched the fading card.
"Yes. But wasn't the ending of this dream pretty good?" Kisaragi said.
Kaiba looked at Kisaragi with a gentle expression.
"Yeah. This ending was pretty good."
And so, the helicopter slowly flew toward the setting sun.
