When Mr. Phoenix was taken to the hospital, he was unconscious.

He was put on a stretcher and sent to the emergency room. The doctors arranged for him a complete set of the most expensive medical methods using the most advanced technology currently available in the hospital, and carefully examined him inside and out…

In the end, the doctor in charge pushed the door out with a serious face, pulled Yuei Vu aside, and said to him solemnly: Congratulations, your uncle was in good health, the biggest problem in his whole body might be hemorrhoids…

…well, Mr. Phoenix was wounded in the duel with the Light of Destruction after all. Strictly speaking, all his trauma should be mental, not physical, and it was normal that modern scientific methods could not detect problems.

The doctor continued: “As for the reason for the coma, I guess it may be due to work pressure and fatigue. Alas, modern people are under a lot of pressure, and such things are actually quite common.

Only one came in from our hospital last week, and I heard it was a programmer. It seems that a manager asked him to develop software that changes color according to the customer’s mood… Poor boy, he woke up after sleeping all day, and when he woke up, he saw the manager come to greet him with a fruit basket, and fainted again on the spot…”

Yuei Vu: “…”

For some reason, he seemed to understand that guy’s feelings…

Yuei Vu walked into the ward holding Little Aster’s hand and soon saw Mr. Phoenix on the bed with pale lips and a bloodless face.

Seeing them coming in, the card designer struggled to squeeze out a weak smile.

“I’m already… dying, right?” he said weakly.

“Ah?” Yuei Vu was taken aback, “No, the doctor just said…”

Mr. Phoenix waved his hand: “Needless to say, I know clearly in my heart, please listen to me first.”

He let out a long sigh: “Sure enough, I have also gone astray. Plasma… I couldn’t resist the temptation of the power of that card. I really lost my composure. I made up my mind to be my son’s hero, but in the end, I lost to the temptation of power. As a father, I am really a bad example…”

He shook his head and said sternly to Yuei Vu: “The card of Plasma…it is not something that ordinary people can control. Even if the evil power in it is eliminated, it is…it has a power beyond imagination.

But I think if it’s you…you who have mastered the true power of ‘HERO’, you can definitely control it. ”

Yuei Vu: The true power of ‘HERO’? Are you implying my “Osiristratos”? (1)

“So the card of Plasma… I’ll leave it to you.” Mr. Phoenix closed his eyes, breathing more and more quickly, “After thinking about it, it seems…it seems that only you are suitable for it. The master of this ultimate hero.”

To be honest, if he could choose, Yuei Vu would actually prefer Plasma with a real card effect. It could unconditionally nullify all the effects of monsters on the opponent’s field, much more practical than the anime version.

But it’s not bad to have this anime version of Plasma.

Because, as Mr. Phoenix said, although the “Light of Destruction” residing in this card has been wiped out by Osiris’ divine power, this card itself was quite powerful.

That’s right, the card of Plasma was also hosted by a duel monster spirit, and it also has the effect of increasing the duelist’s “force”.

Only in this way, the number of spirit cards that Yuei Vu needs to bring in the deck would increase again. Three Egyptian Gods, one Dark Magician Girl, and now one Plasma……

If it continued to increase like this, Yuei Vu felt that he will have to expand the capacity to the entire 60 card slots.

“”

Although it was reasonable to say that the more the spirit cards were jammed in, the less likely a dead draw would happen, but if the deck was full of things that belonged to the “unclear meaning category”, it would still be a bit painful.

Moreover, Yuei Vu pondered that no matter how much he believed in Heart of the Cards, it might still be a bit too much to draw a card that didn’t exist in the deck at all…

Mr. Phoenix glanced at Little Aster standing beside the bed in a daze,

He patted his son’s silvery head weakly with the hand that seemed to have had his bones removed, and smiled helplessly.

“I wanted to be my son’s hero, but I failed. And it looks like…ahem…looks like there will never be another chance…”

Yuei Vu: “That’s why I said, the doctor said you’re actually fine…”

However, Mr. Phoenix didn’t listen at all, waved his hand, and interrupted him: “…But you are different, Yuei Vu, you are already Aster’s hero. So…so please be sure to accept my last capricious request…”

The more he talked, the more he became weak and weak, and his energy was like a gossamer.

“Take care of Aster…please…”

After speaking, he tilted his head, closed his eyes tightly, and remained silent.

Little Aster was stunned, and rushed forward: “Dad! Dad! Dad, wake up, Dad…”

Yuei Vu: “…”

No, I think your dad just fell asleep…

…

After staying in the hospital for a long time, Yuei Vu finally made arrangements for the father and son.

Mr. Phoenix was indeed fine, but he just suffered some mental shocks, and he basically recovered after a night of sleep.

Otherwise, Yuei Vu might not really be the guardian of Little Aster.

It’s one thing to say “training tool people should be started from childhood”, but raising a child was another matter. Yuei Vu has never even had a girlfriend until now. If he gain a son all of a sudden, this was really mind-blowing……

But just from the point of view of favorability, it may be almost the same.

When Yuei Vu was about to leave the hospital, Little Aster pitifully tugged at the hem of his clothes, his big eyes twinkling and refusing to let him go.

So Yuei Vu had to start fooling around: “Ahem, don’t move around here. Brother, I’ll go down and buy some oranges, and I’ll be back soon…”

After leaving the hospital, it happened that the location was not far away, Yuei Vu decided to stop by and go to the Nightcrawlers World.

After the Battle City contest ended, he arranged for the association to mobilize resources and pay attention to an organization called “Doma”. But so far, little has been achieved.

According to the next plot of the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, it should soon enter the time of the Waking the Dragons arc. A super organization named “Doma” that has existed in the world for thousands of years has gradually surfaced and challenged Yugi, Kaiba, and others with its teeth and claws, opening a new chapter in the animation story.

Although this part of the story was an anime-only arc, it was also quite classic, and has left many famous scenes for future generations.

And in this part of the plot, there is one of the few defeats of the so-called undefeated Pharaoh Yami Yugi. One of the top three Swordsmen of Doma, a duelist named Rafael, forced Yami Yugi to face the darkness in his heart and defeated Yami Yugi head-on in a duel.

“Defeating the so-called invincible Pharaoh in a duel”, this record alone was enough to boast for a lifetime on anyone.

These days, Yuei Vu has stepped up to accumulate crystal and draw cards in order to be ready. After all, the opponent was a behemoth that has been entrenched in the world for thousands of years, and even Yugi fell once in front of them.

TL’s note:

1. It’s a pun. Osiris is “the Sky Dragon”, and Stratos is “the Sky Hero”.
