The Start Of The Crazy One - 4

***

A/N: Full disclosure…I don't know what happened when I was writing in this chapter. What was supposed to be something along like 500-1000 words… Ended up like this, with 6800+ words…I don't know. I don't know, how the fuck things turned into this way too! I think I need a break from writing this. Even I think the speed and pacing seems a bit absurd in this chapter here. But I like it. So I don't think I'm going to change it.

I'm not sure if this chapter is going to make sense to you guys. I tried my best editing and that took so damn long. It's my first time trying to make a misunderstanding. But I think I went a bit overboard.

***

Has it been 2 or 3 months in this world? I don't remember.

My encounter with the god cards went like this.

One day in the middle of my room bored out of my mind and watched Dark Magician Girl trying out clothes from what we found in my Gate of Infinity with. It was when I dropped my deck of blank cards that I was shuffling without looking. Then as I was using my abilities to pick them all up, I noticed that the cards were always in pristine condition. I was a little curious about that, so I decided to try what nonsane person would ever do in the Yu-Gi-Oh! World. I wanted to test the durability and the limits of these cards.

First, I tried to burn down my entire deck with fire, but it had proved no effect as it was apparently fireproof. Then I dumped the cards in a tub of water, which again proved ineffective because it was waterproof. After that, I ripped the cards apart with my own hand, and of course, again useless, as it self-regenerated. The rip pieces on the floor would disintegrate into nothingness as the card has regenerated completely. Knowing that these cards are technically indestructible, I gave up on testing their durability and wanted to see what would happen if I tried imagining taboo cards on the blank cards.

Now here comes the problem, I know that old man said it wouldn't work, but I wanted to give it a shot. So, I tried picturing the anime Seal of Orichalcos on the blank card, but nothing happened as the cards remained blank, and it gave me a slight headache. Before I could try to imagine Zorc Necrophades or The Great Leviathan on the blank card. Dark Magician pushed me to the floor.

Not only that, but she smacked the shit out of me. It was the first time I have seen her extremely pissed. She was furious about what I was doing. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice quivered with a mix of anger, concern, and betrayal.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK ARE YOU DOING?!" She sat on top of me and punched me in the face several times as I lay there.

(Gojo's Inner Mind) Perception sped up.

At first, I didn't know what was the big deal even about, so I just let Dark Magician Girl hit me. Until I thought about how she felt, that was when I realized, I fucked up. From her perspective, I might have appeared crazy or mad for attempting to do such things. After all, she had personally gone against these gods before (Zorc and Leviathan) and probably still holds memories of having perished repeatedly as a result for defending what she believes is right.

Although it may appear as curiosity and interest from my point of view. No matter how you look at it, my actions in this world are perceived as an act against humanity. I'm probably an irredeemable traitor in her point of view. Not only did I try to use Orichalcos. But I also tried to summon Zorc, and The Great Leviathan as well? That has only solidified her conviction. She would never let any of those be released to the world.

This one really hurt me a lot. But there was also fear I could sense from her, she was extremely afraid of me. Despite her fear, there's still a lingering concern and care that she holds. That's why she had physically attacked me and yelled at me. When normally she should have gone all out and used her magic to attack me. That is who she is: a woman who always strives for justice and good by eliminating evil. And right now, I am that evil in her eyes, and she doesn't want to hurt me but has to.

As caring as she is, I decided to try to think from her perspective as a resident of this world. She must have wondered, "Why did Gojo do that? Why did he have to try to summon an evil god?" Her assumptions are something I could guess; she probably believes I was suffering from a variety of issues, such as feeling isolated and lacking anyone who could relate to or comprehend my situation. After all, the concept of the world yu-gi-oh! is completely different from my original world. Or perhaps the assumption that I am burdening myself by taking on the role of saving the world or holding it in and then reaching a breaking point. Even I have to admit those sound very reasonable.

It stands to reason that she won't believe I was genuinely curious when I wanted to try to call for some evil god. No no, even if that was true she must have also thought I was under possession or something. Or perhaps she must be thinking that I have fallen into corruption, depravity, insanity, and borderline madness, when in actuality I have not. I liked to also think my actions may seem like it's based on this idea, when actually it was genuine curiosity. But I came to realize, the act of attempting due to curiosity is absolutely alien to her. There is no curiosity or fun in her definition when trying to summon an 'evil god' in her eyes.

I can list out reasons on why she thinks I am a lost cause. Since I never tried to reach out to others or make friends in this world and only talked to her. Because I wasn't interested in finding recreational hobbies and only interested in the magic power and theory of this world. I thought of myself as an introvert, but to her, it appears that I'm imprisoning myself in order to gain power at the cost of sanity or something. Oh, and then the times I have mentioned 'fuck this world!' or 'I wanted to destroy the world' as a joke. OKAAYYY! Yeahhhhh, I'm starting to understand that I look like a ticking time bomb from her point of view.

Now that I have a good understanding of what's going on. I have to apologize. Yeah, my actions are definitely guilty by all accounts. I will swear I will try to change to have a good outlook, I swear I won't destroy this world, that's all I have to do right?

~

Returning my perception to normal.

"I'm sorry." I sincerely apologized.

A/N: Just to be clear, thoughts within ' asdasdasd ' can be read by Dark Magician Girl (the ' ')

"Why?! Why did you do that! Please. I've already lost everyone dear to me, including my previous master and teacher to those evil jerks. I can't. I can't afford to lose you too. SO I WILL STOP YOU TRAITOR!" Her voice became quiet after she yelled at me, and she collapsed onto my chest, sobbing uncontrollably. She tried to contain me by hugging me.

'But…this is just a misunderstanding! I was just curious because that old man said I won't be able to summon other god cards because he personally made it that way. And I wanted to challenge his authority by trying to summon them and it ended up causing this disaster. I wanted to research world magic because I was interested. I wanted to talk to you more than other people because I wanted to monopolize your attention, because I still like you! Sometimes I say "I want to say destroy the world/ fuck this world" even though I don't mean it was just an act out of frustration. To me, it's the same as saying "fuck you." I know it sounds all like excuses but that's really it. I'm sorry.' In my mind I ran through so many excuses, things I wanted to say, the reason about the things I have done.

She knows that's what I wanted to say out loud too. But I didn't voice them because we both know she isn't the type to come to understand an enemy. And sadly, in her eyes, I am her enemy right now.

"If I can't save you. Then we should die." She quietly mumbled with a super low and flat voice. If it wasn't for my keen hearing I would not have even catched that at all. Yep, I'm definitely not going to try to summon evil gods again.

"Gojo, just stay still, alright? I'll find a way to save you," she spoke gently, her voice tinged with sadness, as she held me tightly in her embrace as she started to glow.

Wait, is she self-destructing?! PAUSE. SHE ACTUALLY WOULD DO THAT! THAT CRAZY WOMAN TOO OBSESSED WITH JUSTICE!

Ah, fuck. She also looks like she was carrying some heavy guilt. Who would have thought a card could cause this damage. Is she trying to kamikaze and kill us together? That's cute. But can I even still fix this? Right…No, she probably won't answer me or talk to me.

I speed up my perception to the limits again, so I have more time to think. Think Gojo, think! This is just a misunderstanding. So how should I fix that? No, the damages are already done and she is a stubborn woman who will never talk to me. Then is she the problem? Do I need to beat some sense into her? No, that option is absolutely wrong.

I've spent enough time with her to have a good understanding of Dark Magician Girl. She is a personification of justice. That implies that she would never engage in communication with enemies and traitors. She will never comply with my request no matter what I say or do. Which is completely stupid. But it just shows how well I know her and how much I admire her for it. She even set aside her pride by hugging me and then attempting to self-destruct in the hopes that I wouldn't notice.

Though it appears unlikely, I like to believe that this can still be resolved through dialogue.

I went through a lot of hypothetical situations in my head about how to fix this and apologize to her. Nothing! Other than making love, nothing seems to come to mind. But I don't think that will work this time. Making love with your enemy? If only I hadn't messed around with the blank cards and attempted to summon the gods. God dammit! Oh, wait Gods. I can still make use of them. I still have time to fix this.

"Mmhmm. "Hey, babe," I said as I hugged her, feeling weak and surrounded by a warm gentle pink glow.

She remained silent, but I could tell she was still listening because her body trembled as tears flowed.

"I still have to continue where I left off." I went on. I understand how she can read my thoughts, but I've also figured out how to keep my thoughts hidden from her.

When Dark Magician Girl heard that, she stopped shaking and her heart dropped. She was currently feeling betrayed. She was now clutching my clothes. Her fists were gradually tightening. She clenched her teeth to keep herself calm. Everything about this is causing her pain.

"I need to summon the Egyptian god. I never bothered them before because I didn't consider them important. But now I realize how naive that was. After all, the Egyptian gods are the most venerable God, right?" I explained. This time an unexpected god was mentioned. She could read my surface thoughts, but not my inner mind.

Dark Magician Girl stopped channeling her magic on her body but looked at me for a moment and said nothing.

Good, I've temporarily stopped Dark Magician Girl's actions. Being curious doesn't work as an excuse or an answer for trying to summon an evil god. It's just one of those things that doesn't make any sense unless you're like totally, fucking evil. But if it's the Egyptian god cards on the other hand that's a whole different story. I only discovered that common sense today.

A/N: Gods appearing on the blank card is essentially the same as summoning.

I started setting up a barrier technique called curtain around our room to prevent anything from leaking out.

Due to her righteous nature, she could only watch me silently while looking concerned for me. Dark Magician Girl knew if an Egyptian god was involved, she didn't need to pass judgment onto me. But she didn't want this, as the chances of me getting smite by the gods is extremely high.

After all, the Egyptian gods will strike me down because only chosen duelists linked to the ancient past may be allowed to control or summon an Egyptian God (This is all common sense in the world of yu-gi-oh! But I didn't know.). There are some exceptions at some point in time but that time was during the Orichalcos era that has passed.

A/N: in the anime: Only chosen Duelists linked to the ancient past may control a God card. This is the source, Fandom wiki.

Actually I can probably guess what would happen if I ever called a god; I'd most likely be put through some kind of test or trial in some shadow realm/game. I'm sure they won't expect me to summon all three at once, so I'm hoping that would confuse the gods a little. If what I do fail, I'll almost certainly have to go straight to the shadow realm. On top of that, who the hell wants to go through trials and tests made by some god? It sounds like work. That's why I never bother contacting them in the first place.

What was it again? The blank cards transform into the cards I want when I imagine them to. But that crazy old man told me to formally call for them through the blank cards if I want to meet them. Since these Egyptian god cards are special.

I carefully lifted the clingy Dark Magician Girl and placed her in a secure location then left her as I made my way to the center of the room and 3 blank cards levitated in front of me.

'This is really weird. It feels like I'm preparing to meet some old coots.' I internally thought.

Then I began.

'I think it went like this.'

"Oh, Legendary Gods of Egypt, I beg of thee, please hear my call!" The cards started shaking.

Dark Magician Girl trembled as she watched, the scene before her is a sign of the return of the Egyptian god cards.

"In honor of all Pharaohs and champions that came before, shatter the boundaries of the mortal plane, and return to this world once more!" The cards that were shaking emitted a brilliant light with vibrant colors.

This is a desperate call to the gods, not a summoning as I do not have that right. The chant is very important too.

"Revive and Awaken! Obelisk the Tormentor! Slifer the Sky Dragon! And The Winged Dragon of Ra! (Slifer the executive producer, and Mega Ultra Chicken) " As I recited those chants, a wide grin spread across my face. Doing something like this had always been a dream of mine, and it was finally becoming a reality. But I don't like my current situation.

The 3 blank cards levitating in front of me have transformed into the infamous Egyptian god cards I am familiar with. But I can't read the damn hieroglyphics.

I'm going to do my best from now on. While immediately increasing my perception to its maximum.

The real issue begins now. The heads of the God monsters materialized before me in my room like spectral entities. They were there, observing me, assessing me, and judging me. Their presence was overwhelming, yet I felt no fear. Because I felt like their aura was on par with mine. I had already cast a barrier spell, enclosing my entire room, I had prepared well, making sure that no one could sense the shifts in the atmosphere.

But did you know... I kept wondering why I needed the damn permission of these three gods to summon them the entire time when I was sent to this world. I know for a fact I'm going to be given some trial or test for the right to summon them or some bull crap. That's how things work in religion. But I've devised a way to avoid the test or trial because I'm not going through the nonsense of having to prove my "worthiness," "loyalty," or "faith." It's a waste of time, so I'll cheat by taking a shortcut.

Oddly, I can understand and feel God's emotions. They exist as superficial beings, an extension of Hocalite, the creator of light. I have already figured out how we are going to communicate. I will be the one talking, and they will be the one reacting and judging. It is a one sided conversation where I have to play my cards right. But they are the one who has the final say in this matter. Luckily, I had already anticipated something like this happening.

There are things I need to be aware of. I'm going with the assumption that the Egyptian gods definitely have the ability to detect lies, along with understanding the ways of humans connected to darkness (evil) and light (good). Taking that into account. I believe I am in the gray area. I'm a neutral human who has done both good and bad. But the fact that they answered my call without striking me down means I have met some requirement for a test, trial, or judgment. It must have been that old man's arrangement.

A few seconds have passed since they emerged. In that time, I've already thought about and gone over my plan dozens of times, and I now have complete confidence in it. There's no reason to keep using my sped up perception. I returned to the present moment prepared to give a reason for their call.

'Considering that they haven't spoken, then that means it's likely they cannot speak, or something similar. Their facial expressions are also hard to read. I have an instinctive feeling that they can't read my mind. Then… doesn't that mean I can cook anything up? Haha this is going to be easy.' I chuckled to myself in my thoughts.

[Gojo?!! You can't do that!! They are Gods!!! Gods!!!] Dark Magician Girl telepathically yells my name while looking deathly pale.

Oh! Dark Magician Girl heard that.

[Dear. Let me cook a rare story.] I gently replied.

I straightened up and walked towards them, and then knelt down on one knee before the formidable gods.

"O' Great Defenders of Egypt," I addressed them respectfully, my voice carrying a mixture of deference and confidence. It's just an act, but I'm serious about it. Now I must believe in myself. "I apologize for rousing you from your slumbers. My name is Gojo Satoru. I will get straight to the point and summarize it so it's easy to understand."

I face all three of them dead in the eye. (This is Gojo's inner mind monologue that can't be read.)

"I had been chosen to carry out the sacred and noble duty of protecting this world (even though I don't want to). This is a shameless request, but I beg you to please protect this world once more, as you have done in the past. (After all you guys have done it before, just do it again!)"

'It's very important that I do not ask them directly to lend me their power, I'm asking them to protect the world (in my stead). Phrasing is very important when deceiving. This should at least help me curry some points. They can't sense I'm lying because I am moving to the mindset that I am doing this for the sake of the world. And it is true I am chosen to save the world. I am not noble about it though.' I thought discreetly.

[Gojo? What the fuck?] Dark Magician Girl read, her expression a mixture of bewilderment and disbelief.

Oh right, she is still reading my thoughts.

The Egyption Gods weren't making any facial expressions. But the gods understood what I had just said and I can feel what they are feeling. Discontent, disgusted, tired, and annoyed. After all, they don't want to be used. I too understand that feeling very well.

I intentionally made them feel disgusted and annoyed at first, hoping they wouldn't strike me down after that. It had to be done since I was testing the water, but I guess they are very lenient.

Just before they can make a big reaction or put some clauses on me. I quickly spoke up. Revealing the full story I had cooked up.

"I had planned on defending this world without ever relying on the venerable Gods (this is true, I had no intentions of using you guys). However, circumstances have changed due to a series of visions (I remember seeing this fan-art from my world) of the future. At first, I was skeptical, but over time, I have come to realize their accuracy. As a result, I've had no choice but to work alone, because finding trustworthy allies has been difficult, and collaborating with others has frequently resulted in setbacks. I am left alone to protect the world against them!" I cooked up.

[Gojo? Gojo. No! What the hell are you talking about?!] Dark Magician Girl as she blinked at the unbelievable shit I'm saying.

"The enemies I'm up against are unknown individuals and organizations who want to destroy the world by using sacred beasts (this is true because I know in season one some idiots actually tried doing that). There are people using counterfeit Millennium Pendants. Originally crafted to counter the effects of the genuine Millennium Items, these fakes have now become used as symbols to amass followers and worshippers for the sacred beasts. I've fought against a few of these individuals wearing the fake millennium pedant, and I regrettably admit that some of them are even stronger than I (because I have not met real ones yet. This statement is plausible that they are strong.)." Putting a serious act of gritting my teeth, with a tight grip on my emotions, I was able to convey my fabricated tale as if it were the truth.

These gods can totally understand human speech, so it makes sense that they'd grasp the concept of the future and be able to picture those kinds of situations.

The Egyptian gods who were summoned here would never have imagined me telling a nonsense story just to take advantage of them; it was unthinkable to them. No one in this world would ever consider fooling the gods.

'Now in order to make them volunteer themselves to be used, instead of making me undergo some trial or test. You must tell them something they never expected to hear in their entire lives. Asking the gods to save this world is in fact a very common one so it won't work. But this one will.'

[Gojo! Gojo! Please Stop! You're Crazy!!] She pleaded.

"The vision reveals a future of a powerful shadow duelist, most likely a leader, wielding the sacred beast. He had plunged the world to chaos, partially gathering worship for himself, then declared to the world that he and the sacred beast god cards are in fact the only true gods, and at the end of each vision, this part is always highlighted and remains unchanged. Oh, and please pardon my language, but these enemies of humanity have always said this line, "Down with the shitty mother of light, Holactie." I added.

When I finished that sentence, I immediately got reactions from the three gods. They angrily roared, and emotions ranged from rage to murderous intent, but not toward me or Dark Magician Girl but towards the world.

The lie cannot be detected because the Egyptian god's lie detector is not omnipotent. And I had managed to fool them.

[Bingo~ I think~ They bought it.] I happily telepathically exchange with Dark Magician Girl.

Internally, Dark Magician Girl was in turmoil, panic rising within her with each passing second as she witnessed Gojo spitting one lie after another, as if it was natural as breathing. She was now afraid of Gojo getting divine punishment. No, in fact how the hell is he not caught yet?

The god continued to roar, but I decided to cut them off.

"PLEASE LET ME COok— CONTINUE! The future I have seen is one where I don't rely on borrowing strength from the gods. My ancestors (Shitty R.O.B.), left me with these blank cards that you now temporarily inhabit. They can serve as a medium to call for you. But I was strictly prohibited from ever contacting the venerable Egyptian gods."

"Although it pains me to admit it, I am weak. I can't go against the sacred beast because they made a pact with that malicious evil vile entity (Who doesn't exist. Or was it Yubel?). Not only have I failed to save the world, but I have also broken the very rule that was placed upon me and selfishly contacted you, the Great Defender of Egypt. But I beg of thee to please protect this world once more!" I managed to make droplets of tears come out of my eyes.

[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!] The Dark Magician Girl was screaming telepathically.

Dark Magician Girl's complexion darkened as she became increasingly uneasy. It's terrifying enough to face an Egyptian god, but here she is facing all three. And this guy! This guy! He summoned all three just to lie in front of them.

~

(Gojo pov)

Naturally, I may be in a severe form of self-deception and delusion right now, but you can see how super overpowered it is here as it is working.

Explanation:

After recalling a peculiar memory from Season 1. Where a group of people used the three sacred beasts and laughed maniacally, I let my imagination run wild. It just led to me cooking a story and then adding an idea of using something I have seen from my previous world. A fan-art.

Yeah, I remember stumbling upon a fan art on Google where the Sacred Beasts were wrecking the whole world. Since it is a fanart that exists back in my world I have seen something that this world has never seen before. I just need to tweak the word from fan-art to vision. Okay, so now all that's left to do is use the imaginations / story I cooked up.

There was no story behind the origin of fan-art. That's why I can fill it in with my own story, with my own interpretation of how I want. All I have to do is put myself as a prophet. That was the loophole I had used and then with the cherry on top I added legitimacy. I am in fact the chosen one to 'save the world'. That is an absolute truth. Cause I was fucking sent here unwillingly to save this shitty world.

The rest was just practice until I got it all down with a tone as it was a matter of fact and then the rest was to believe in my own story. There shouldn't be any lie to be detected in any of this because the story is true to me. Even if there were lies detected it should be tolerable as it was built to make it easier for them to understand. Yes, this sounds all insane, but oddly enough, it seems plausible.

A/N: no this fan-art does not exist, or at least I haven't seen any. It was temporarily built for this chapter.

~

Well you have to be at least this crazy to trick the gods.

The gods look at each other as if understanding this is a serious issue. Then they turned back to look at me and they all lifted a limb as if they were raising their hands. And then they nodded their heads at me as if giving their sign of approval. I can feel an emotion of rage and supportive feeling behind their feelings.

Well, just to be sure.

"...O' Great Defender Of Egypt, do you approve of this one's action? I would not mind being fact checked." I boldly put my delusional lie on the line.

The three Egyptian gods all nodded first and then shaked their heads as if they didn't need to confirm.

Dark Magician Girl made a weird face as if she was out of it.

"Can I call for you gods when I'm in need of help anytime?" I asked a little informally this time.

If you haven't noticed, I'm currently asking for a lot. I'm requesting their direct strength for my own personal use.

They nodded again.

'I did it~, I scammed the gods~ Dear, tell me I'm special! Call me the honored one~' In my mind, I happily chirped.

[THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT!] Dark Magician Girl angrily yelled. She can't believe what's happening in front of her, yet it's happening in front of her. She wanted to scream at Gojo in front of the gods, calling him a lying piece of shit, but she still cares for him and doesn't want him to suffer some crazy divine retribution. The fact the gods of Egypt even let him wield them sounds crazy in itself. He's not even part of that special line of chosen ancient Egyptians.

I went from being the one who had to pass some random tests before using them to now having them on speed dial. All because some idiot insulted their mother. And because I am also the one who has "lost" to those idiots who insulted their mothers. But in reality, it's me who is the idiot that was talking smack about their mother. Thank you so much! Sacred beast and Fan-art.

Yeah, maybe Dark Magician Girl was right about me being crazy or a madman.

"I cannot thank you enough." As I made a desperate show of bowing and I started to tear up for real because I'm trying to hold up my laughter and happiness by biting my lips. And I couldn't help but greed for more. A little more. Just a little more.

How can I use this situation to my advantage? How can I bring some happiness back to Dark Magician Girl in her current state? Right now, she's not feeling regret or sadness; she's more confused and shocked. She's basically witnessing the worst side of me at this moment. I think, without the gods' help, it's pretty hard to change her opinion about me. At the very least she can't really see me as an enemy anymore, since the Egyptian gods haven't tried killing me.

So, how can I mend things and bring back her happiness by involving the gods? Maybe an oath? Or a promise? A vow could work too. Hold on, what about marriage? Yeah, hit her up with a surprise marriage. What better way to make her happy than marrying her right then and there, with the Egyptian gods as witnesses! But wait, how does marriage work? Screw it, let's wing it. I hope she says yes.

"Oh, would the Great god of Egypt mind, if I introduce my partner? She's the one who has shared her fate with me." I asked the Egyptian Gods, as my staged tears started to dry up.

"Ehhhh? What?!" Dark Magician Girl was taken aback, finding herself unexpectedly in the spotlight. Everyone's attention was drawn to her.

And the Gods were listening with interest now.

"This is Dark Magician Girl. Some gods might remember her – she has fought alongside you, the Great Defender Of Egypt, to save the world. Against the likes of the Zorc Necrophades, The Great Leviathan, and sometimes even standing up against your own might, long ago."

"Uhh— Whaaat?! Oh, Hi! It's an absolute pleasure to meet the three great defenders of Egypt again!" Dark Magician Girl rose, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle as if meeting esteemed in-laws.

The three Egyptian gods nodded, as if acknowledging her presence.

"Yes, you see, she's my soulmate," I continued, my tone both earnest and hopeful. "I was hoping to seek the blessings of the great defenders of Egypt, the confirmation and approval of our union. As you're well aware, human traditions can be a bit... No, it is definitely flawed. They often require either a spiritual entity or someone with a connection to the gods to gain approval for such union. So, I thought, why not turn to you, the Egyptian gods, and involve you in this process?" I proposed the idea.

The gods' presence seemed to intensify, a mixture of curiosity and solemnity filling the air. This was undoubtedly the first time they had encountered such a peculiar request—one that didn't involve a shadow game or call upon their strength, but instead sought their approval for a deeply personal matter.

Dark Magician Girl's face softened to a blush, her eyes widening in surprise at the unexpected turn the conversation was taking. She immediately managed to regain her composure and took a small step forward, facing the divine entities with a mix of respect and nervousness. She couldn't say no to this marriage proposal. After all, she loves Gojo. But she is still hurt from his action of trying to summon the evil gods.

No matter what, Dark Magician Girl can't forgive Gojo. But if she can control him a little wouldn't that be better? Isn't that okay at least? She can still be with Gojo at least. Shouldn't she have gotten at least this much after saving the world so many times? The right's to Gojo Satoru. Unbeknownst to Gojo, Dark Magician Girl was harboring thoughts that a righteous magician girl should never think.

She remembered the discussion she had with R.O.B. before meeting Gojo on how to gain some control over him. She had initially dismissed the advice, but now she intends to use it. The notion of a "binding vow" kept echoing in her mind. She is aware of how it works.

"With your permission, Kami-Sama," she spoke, her voice trembling slightly. Was this really okay? To control Gojo? She weighs the options and decides she will because she loves him too much.

The Egyptian gods remained silent, their presence looming over the room as if considering the request. The first thing that came into God's mind is, how the fuck does giving a blessing work? They are battle gods.

Finally, a subtle yet undeniable shift in the atmosphere indicated their decision. A gentle warmth filled the room, and a sense of approval seemed to emanate from the divine beings.

A/N: (A binding vow between Gojo and Dark Magician Girl is now possible.)

[I'm not entirely sure what kind of blessing this is, I didn't know Egyptian gods were capable of giving off blessings. Did we also get all three of them?] I was happy as everything was going to plan.

[For sure…Gojo. For sure.] Dark Magician vaguely replied. As she was looking at me with a determined expression. Something about her seems odd. But the affection is still there.

I didn't find anything off from that reply. She seemed to be accepting all this.

Anyways for the gods, this is an unprecedented experience. But for us this is the first time I'm getting married. I have no idea how this shit works. The same could be said for Dark Magician Girl. None of us here have knowledge of how marriage officially works.

Even though the gods may not understand or know what this marriage concept is, they possess an innate understanding that it holds significance for mortals. And because they were selected and invited to participate in this sacred ceremony, they decided to pay attention to the proceedings and watch with interest as they gave their blessing. The gods can't wait to tell their mom Holactie about this.

Dark Magician Girl's eyes shimmered with tears, and a smile slowly formed on her lips as she walked towards me. The approval had been granted, not through words, but through a shared understanding of transcended language.

It was a marriage ceremony unlike any other, because no one here knows how this shit works. But in this case, it was seen by the gods and marked the celebration between a human and a spirit, both bound by a duty to save the world.

This is something I came up with on the spur of the moment while talking telepathically to the Dark Magician Girl about how I think marriage works for humans. She agreed, but for some reason she suggested I make a binding vow because this is sacred, and to put my mind into it. Which kind of makes sense for marriage. I have never participated in a wedding ceremony, reception, or meetings before. I think this order is fine. The proposal, the ring, the vow, and the kiss in less than a day?

"Dark Magician Girl, will you marry me?" As I approached her, I got down on my knees and presented her with a ring. A pair of rings materialized on my hand from the infinity gate.

Her gaze softens, and a happy faint smile appears on her lips. "...Yes."

She responds with a range of emotions, and as I take her hand, I can sense the weight of her choice and help in placing it on our ring fingers.

The words spoken hold a promise.

"I love you," I said, my voice carrying genuine affection.

A warmth fills her eyes as she meets my gaze she sighed in relief and also reciprocated my feeling "I love you too, darling."

And so, in the presence of the Egyptian Gods, we exchanged our vows.

"In the name of the Egyptian gods that stand before us, I, Gojo Satoru, take you, Dark Magician Girl, to be my wife, and to save this world together. I promise to stand by you, in all circumstances, from this day onward. Through the highs and lows, in abundance and scarcity, during times of strength and moments of weakness, I am here to love, support, cherish and listen to you. This commitment is unbreakable, lasting until the end of our days. This is my binding vow." When I finished my vow, I immediately felt a chain encircling me and tying me to Dark Magician Girl. The weight was there for a second, then vanished.

'What the?' I was shocked, my eyes widened as I saw what happened to me.

A/N: To summarize, the Egyptian god's blessing is to blame for how the binding vow took effect.

Dark Magician Girl also recited her binding vow.

"In the presence of the Egyptian Gods, I, Dark Magician Girl, take you, Gojo Satoru, to be my husband and to save this world together. I pledge to stand by your side through all the chapters of life that lie ahead. In times of joy and challenges, of prosperity and adversity, during health and sickness, my devotion to you will remain unwavering. I promise to love, uplift, and treasure you every step of the way, until our journey reaches its end. This is my binding vow."

After her vow we kissed passionately. It was just for that moment I saw it as well—her chains were linked to me. Whatever, it means we are married now.

The Egyptian Gods, seemingly satisfied with what they had witnessed, although they don't understand what we are doing. They faded from view and re-entered their respective cards, and the card reverted to their original blank state, then dropped to the floor.

So, we got married huh? Which is really weird. Because how did dropping a deck of blank cards turn into this?

I still cannot believe I pulled that off. Well, right now I guess I can say I am a happily married man. As I turned to look at her.

Dark Magician Girl, on the other hand, was staring at her ring on her ring finger then looking back at me. She was tired but also very happy and angry. She also had a lot to say.

"You! Fucking! Crazy! Mad! Man! I can't believe you... I can't believe you did that! I hate you and yet... I love you too much!!" She cried out while repeatedly giving me playful smacks.

'Yeah, I felt like I went through an entire season in one chapter.'

"Why did you have to put me through all of that, Huh!? Seriously, you're crazy. I thought my heart was going to break. No, it actually broke and then repaired itself 20 times today! You're so going to get it!" She continued her smacks before planting a passionate kiss on me. And then you know what happened.

We pulled an all-nighter and had to cancel all cleaning services for the day.
