Chapter 85: Aisha VS You Ling

"There are actually two Aisha Carloses?"

Seeing this scene before them, it wasn't just Aisha herself within the Millennium Puzzle who was astonished.

With two Aishas placed before him, Kevin even felt double the rivalry, double the joy.

"What on earth is going on?" You Ling questioned.

Although Aisha didn't seem to have suffered any substantial harm, Camille's act of prying open her heart with the Millennium Key and forcibly awakening her dark side still made You Ling feel a trace of anger.

"Don't be angry." Camille leaned close to You Ling's ear and whispered: "It won't cause real harm to your host. This is just a necessary step to unlock Despair God's seal. Of course, after seeing one's own dark side, whether there will be psychological harm, I cannot guarantee."

"Seeing one's own dark side?"

Regarding Aisha Yuna Carlos's dark side, what could it possibly be?

Even You Ling couldn't help but feel curious.

Aisha, evaluated by the Pharaoh as a person of brilliance, would she also possess a dark side... and a despair capable of awakening Despair God?

"Well then, as the trial to unlock Despair God's seal. A duel against your own dark side, Aisha Carlos, are you willing to accept?"

"I accept!"

You Ling's reply carried no hesitation.

Aisha: "0v0 M-Mr. You Ling..."

As for Aisha herself, she wasn't as resolute as You Ling.

What kind of dark side the Millennium Key had brought out from the depths of her heart, Aisha herself didn't know.

What if it was some dark history she herself didn't even remember?

"0vQ Having one's dark side forcibly dragged out, and then having to duel oneself, is there anything more embarrassing than this?"

Of course, there is.

The person you like dueling your own dark side is on an even higher level of embarrassment.

"Well then, as the witness of this trial duel, let it begin!"

Camille thrust the Millennium Key in his hand downwards, planting it into the ground.

Dark magic power spread out, forming a circular barrier, enclosing You Ling and the separated dark side of Aisha, isolating them from the outside world.

This would ensure that people outside the barrier could only see the state of the duel, but could not hear the communication during the duel.

After all, the trial to unlock Despair God's seal, understanding one's own darkness and despair, was more important than the victory or defeat of the duel.

What Camille needed to do was to avoid as much as possible the people in the trial being disturbed by the outside world.

"Getting ready to start, Aisha!"

Aisha: "Yes, Mr. You Ling!"

"Ah, no, I was talking to the Aisha opposite."

"(╬￣皿￣)=○!!"

Lifting her short skirt, opening the card box strapped to her thigh to draw her deck; almost a mirror-image level operation, both dueling parties simultaneously placed their decks into their Elven Eyes.

Aisha Carlos LP: 4000

VS

Aisha Carlos (Dark) LP: 4000

"Duel——!"

The duel officially began; the Elven Eye on the arm of the dark side Aisha lit up first, signifying she had the first turn.

"My turn, draw."

This was the first time the separated dark side Aisha spoke.

Undoubtedly, the voice was identical to Aisha's own, giving You Ling, including Aisha herself, an auditory experience like never before.

"You really are Aisha too, huh," You Ling attempted to communicate.

What Aisha's dark side was, You Ling also knew that investigating this truth was the most important thing in this duel.

"Why only you..."

Sure enough, after You Ling's probing communication, the dark side Aisha spoke.

"Why only you can continue to stay at Fusion Academy. While I must accept the fate of a loser!"

"!!!"

A statement that shocked You Ling and Aisha.

Aisha's despair and dark side actually came from this divergent branch of a different world line.

The Aisha before them was the Aisha who was expelled from Fusion Academy after You Ling didn't arrive.

Or perhaps, to describe it more accurately, this was from the deepest part of Aisha Carlos's heart, the foreseen possible outcome that frightened her the most.

"I summon a monster in Attack Position!"

After communicating, the dark side Aisha's tone gained a clear hint of unwillingness and anger.

"Come out, Yoyo !"

[Yoyo ★ LIGHT][Angel-Type ATK: 300 DEF: 100]

Summoning the powerless tofu block Yoyo in Attack Position indeed seemed like something the former Aisha Carlos would do.

"Turn end."

The dark side Aisha, after summoning Yoyo, put down her hand card and ended her turn.

Such a weak field; any slightly normal Duelist could break through it and then launch a painful attack on her.

"My turn, draw."

Except for You Ling, who was also using Aisha's own deck.

Scanning the 6 starting hand cards, no Poker Knights in hand, only a pile of familiar-faced trash monsters.

"I also summon [Yoyo] in Attack Position!"

[Yoyo ATK: 300]

You Ling's final choice was also to summon the Yoyo from his hand in Attack Position.

What, you ask why not summon trash monsters in Defense Position?

Please, Yoyo's defense power is 100 points, attack power is 300 points.

The opponent already summoned Yoyo in Attack Position; if You Ling summoned in Defense Position, not only would he lose momentum, he might even be directly destroyed by the opponent's Yoyo.

Out of both sentiment and reason, this war between Yoyos was unavoidable!

Thus, the current scene on the field was——

Yoyo, with a question mark on its head and an expression ￣ー￣ as if seeing through everything, faced another ￣ー￣ Yoyo, neither willing to back down.

"I set one more card, turn end."

One vertical, one set; You Ling's non-standard opening signified that the development of this duel would also be anything but ordinary.

"My turn, draw!"

Drawing a card, the dark side Aisha's eyes gradually turned cold as she scanned the field.

"While you were still enjoying the pleasant academy life, I had to bear countless cold stares. Within the family, everyone believed I had buried the Carlos family's last hope. Such despair, you have never experienced."

Continuing to fling cards onto the field, Aisha summoned another familiar trash monster.

"I summon in Attack Position——Volcanic Rat !"

[Volcanic Rat ★ FIRE][Pyro-Type ATK: 500 DEF: 500]

"And so, I swore. Even with only the weakest trash monsters, even if looked down upon by everyone, I will prove myself! Then I will take revenge on all who mocked me. Using my own way of fighting!"

Fingertip swept across; an unusual magic power released from Aisha's Elven Eye, restacking the 2 Level 1 monsters on the field into cards.

"There are two Level 1 monsters, I overlay Yoyo and Volcanic Rat, Xyz Summon!"
