Chapter 414: Road to Rebirth
How did Ojiaou get this "True Dragon" deck? And the style of dueling has changed so much?
Not long ago on the spaceship, just after Ojiaou persuaded Fudo Yusei, Li Zheng's hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
The girl, who was suddenly startled by this action, asked in confusion: ["Li Zheng, what's the matter with you?"]
At this time, Li Zheng's voice sounded in Ojiaou's heart, and his tone was much gentler than usual: ["Since you have made your choice, it's time for you to take back some things that you should have taken a long time ago."]
["Things that I should have taken a long time ago?"] Ojiaou's eyes turned, and she probably understood what Li Zheng meant: ["By the way, you said before that my duel ability has been controlled by you, so that I can't defeat Lorelei who released the Pacific Ocean even if I try my best..."]
["That's right, so, some of the 'newcomer benefits' that originally belonged to you have actually been withheld by me."] Li Zheng nodded Ojiaou's head and said: ["Now that you have decided to reverse the future, it would be unreasonable not to give you some real stuff."]
["I..."] Ojiaou turned his head and looked at Li Zheng with a complicated expression.
If someone else had taken her things, Ojiaou would definitely not let it go; but Li Zheng was always able to make you feel helpless.
After all, Li Zheng had explained to her before that if he had not always controlled Ojiaou's duel strength, she would have won the duel in which Lorelei released the Pacific Ocean, and merged with "Sound Weapon·Lorelei", and was trapped inside forever...
When that time comes, "Sound Weapon·Lorelei" will have to be renamed "Sound Weapon·Ojiaou".
[“You are about to face the high-level elites such as the ‘Seven Emperors’ and ‘Thousands of Lords’ of the ‘Fourth Legion·Different Crystals’.”] Li Zheng did not suddenly conjure up a bunch of cards and handed them to Ojiaou like a traditional “grandfather”, but pulled her out of the lounge door: [“It is still difficult to compete with them with your current deck, so you come out with me first - don’t let others follow you, especially the Tenth Generation.”]
At Li Zheng’s suggestion, Ojiaou said goodbye to other companions and left the reception room alone.
As soon as he opened the door, Ojiaou was suppressed by an aura and almost fell to the ground.
The people inside the door did not know that at this time, a team of soldiers from the “First Legion·Longhui” were standing at attention outside the door. They filled the originally spacious passage like statues, leaving only a narrow path that could only accommodate one person.
At the same time, their uniform “Duel Souls” also resonated, and in Ojiaou’s eyes, it was as dazzling as facing a supernova explosion.
"Gulu." Ojia'ou shook her dizzy head and stood up firmly without kneeling down; she knew that this was the result of the "Dragon Glory Legion" deliberately restraining themselves. They had no ill intentions, otherwise none of these ancient duelists with explosive stars would be easy to mess with.
I don't know why, the moment Ojia'ou stood up, she seemed to feel an emotion similar to "welcome" and "recognition" from the duelist souls of the "Dragon Glory Legion" warriors.
【“Ojiaou, walk through the path in the middle.”】
Unlike Ojiaou who had a hard time standing up, Li Zheng floated to the girl easily as if nothing had happened, and pointed to the path in the middle of the formation of the “Dragon Glory Legion” soldiers: 【“Just walk with peace of mind, they won’t stop you from passing through here, they are just on guard here because the ‘Emperor’ is in the reception room; but you are the ‘Emperor’s’ friend, so they won’t have any bad intentions.”】
Although she said so, for Ojiaou who found it so difficult to stand in the duelist soul array of the “Dragon Glory Legion”, walking out of this path was undoubtedly more difficult than climbing up the towering snow-capped mountains barefoot in a bikini.
But Ojiaou still began to move her steps, even though her feet seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Every step she took in the array of the “Dragon Glory Legion”, Ojiaou felt like she was stepping on thorns with her bare feet.
Gradually, Ojiaou's consciousness began to blur. She could no longer see the road ahead and could only move forward mechanically.
But the girl was not completely blind. When the people and objects that could be seen in reality, such as the "Dragon's Legion" and the interior decoration of the spaceship, began to blur, other scenes began to flash in Ogiao's eyes:
The first time she got a Duel Monster card, the card was "The Giant Scorpion of the Tundra". At that time, she thought that this card must be very powerful because its name was so similar to hers;
The first time she dueled with others, Ogiao, who could not remember the rules and card effects, was beaten OTK by her brother;
The first time she watched the live broadcast of "Dueler Kingdom", Ogiao liked the operation of Dongfeng Gu Hui using the Phoenix God to burn the entire sea dry;
The first time she was involved in a dark duel, she died at the hands of her friend Izayoi Sayaka;
The first time she met Li Zheng, the moment of rebirth, her fate began to change;
…
All the memories related to "Duel Monsters" were turned out from every corner of her memory. Every time one appeared, Ogiao began to analyze all the regrets of the past reflexively, and summarized and digested them - she suddenly realized that she had missed so many valuable experiences in the past.
Only after thoroughly analyzing and absorbing a memory can Ojiaou move forward; this is a very difficult thing, but Ojiaou seems to do it easily, as if after going through life, rereading the diary of the past, it will inevitably find the treasures hidden in the memory that were once ignored, and even miss the immature thoughts of the past.
Gradually, Ojiaou did not feel that her feet were stepping on thorns, nor did she feel that a mountain was pressing on her body; she only felt as if she was walking in the library on a sunny afternoon, opening those exquisite books one by one.
When Ojiaou finished reading the last book and came to her senses, she found that she had walked to the end of the team.
The girl turned around and found that the "Dueler's Soul Array" that was so dazzling now looked much warmer, no longer so aggressive and aggressive.
"Pa la pa la pa la..."
Endless applause came from the hands of the soldiers of the "Dragon Glory Legion". They all turned around and looked in the direction of Ojiaou and applauded her.
"Thank you." Sweating profusely, Ojiaou bowed to everyone in the First Legion. Looking back, the entire road was only about 17 meters, but Ojiaou felt like she had walked for a lifetime.
By the way, she seemed to be just 17 years old?
["Since you were reborn, I have been suppressing your growth, but I have not failed to preserve those "potentials", so it is so easy for you to walk this "rebirth road" this time."]
Li Zheng floated back to Ojiaou, patted her shoulder and said: ["Today, taking this opportunity, I will return these powers that belong to you twice as much."]
Warm light flowed out of Li Zheng's hands, and Ojiaou felt warm all over her body at this time. The duelist soul that had just been tempered to indestructible by the "Dragon Glory Legion" seemed to be evolving further.
【“Thank you! Li Zheng, actually I…”】
However, Li Zheng interrupted the girl’s words of gratitude at this time: 【“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me, your test is not over yet; and, I said I would give you something, there is one more thing.”】
【“One more thing?”】
【“Yes, if you mention the devil, the devil will appear.”】
“There are not many duelists who can complete the ‘Road of Rebirth’, and they will all become the best among us without exception.”
Before Li Zheng finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in the “Dragon Glory Legion” team, and then all the soldiers turned back in unison, continuing to abide by their duty to defend the emperor; but one of the soldiers walked out of the team.
Just by hearing his voice, Ojiaou knew who he was.
“Long time no see, Shimada-chan.” Hell Caesar took off his helmet, looked at Ojiaou in front of him with a look of relief and said: “You are finally here.”
