Chapter 36: Turmoil in the Underworld

It has been mentioned before that the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is actually full of magical colors, black technology, magic, aliens, etc., all kinds of strange things are available.

What is shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg of this world. The holders of several millennium artifacts in the DM animation are all the best among the dark duelists, and they are the most powerful ones. But this does not mean that the millennium artifact is the only source of supernatural power in this world.

For example, Mr. T, whom You Yu met just now, the Darkness hidden behind him is a dark power of a completely different system from the millennium artifact.

Another example is the mysterious group "Seven Stars" that appeared in the Three Phantom Demons chapter in Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Everyone in this group is a dark duelist with different origins, including elves, vampire descendants, alchemists, etc.

The "Night Walker World" that You Yu found at this moment is exactly where such people gather.

To put it simply, this is a club for dark duelists, a bit like the Killer Alliance.

The members here sometimes accept some commissions through the club as a platform and complete some gray tasks.

The loser in the Dark Game must obey the winner according to the established rules. A high-level person can turn the loser into his puppet. With this power, it is easy to force people in important positions or with important values ​​to obey, and help people easily achieve some special goals.

If you want to use the Dark Game to erase someone, you can completely drag the person into the darkness from the body to the soul, leaving no clues at all, and it is impossible to find out by conventional means.

Even if some Dark Duelists have the power of Darkness, they can even completely erase the existence of a person, including the memories of relatives and friends about this person, through the Dark Game, and no one will even notice that such a person has disappeared from the world.

Nowadays, many upper-class people in the world who know the secret actually know the existence of the Dark Game. The organization of Dark Duelists has no nationality or power restrictions. If they must say, they maintain a nearly neutral attitude and never deliberately favor any power.

They will act for any country or individual who offers the right price, and maintain good cooperative relations with many countries and forces.

This feels a bit like a mercenary, but it's different.

People outside the circle keep their distance from the dark duelists, because the dark duelists with extraordinary powers are mysterious and powerful from the perspective of ordinary people.

However, in the GX period, there seemed to be some ordinary people who pretended to be dark duelists and used some tricks such as sleight of hand and hypnosis to cheat money.

Just like the Titan uncle who was hired to come to the Duel Academy to duel with Yucheng Judai in the early GX, pretended to be a dark duelist by means of light refraction and hypnosis, but was finally exposed by Judai.

Yuyu is now in the era before the opening of the Duel City chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh DM.

Before that, the unique king of the underground world of dark duelists was the founder of the card game "Duel Monsters", Becas J. Croft.

Bekas possesses the "Millennium Eye", one of the seven thousand-year artifacts of ancient Egypt. He possesses extremely strong dark power and has the ability to see through the other person's mind, "mind scanning". There is no doubt that he is the top-level ability user in the world.

Bekas visited Egypt and obtained the Millennium Eye, which gave him terrifying and powerful strength. At the same time, under the guidance of the Millennium Eye, he carved the monster stone tablets handed down thousands of years ago into cards and invented a card game called "Duel Monsters", which became popular all over the world and became one of the most famous upper-class people in the world.

As a game designer, he specially printed an invincible "cartoon card group" for himself. Combined with the mind-reading ability of the Millennium Eye and the powerful dark power, Bekas easily ascended the throne of the king of the underground world and became the only recognized king of dark duelists all over the world for a long time.

During that time, Bekas's International Illusion Society Consortium and its affiliated hidden forces also basically dominated the direction and trend of the underground world, which was a powerful force that could secretly influence the world pattern.

This situation ended only when Pegasus lost to an ordinary high school student, Yugi Muto, in the Duel Kingdom Tournament he organized.

Not only that, after that battle, someone dug out Pegasus's Millennium Eye, and his strength dropped sharply, and he no longer had the domineering attitude that he had before. From then on, Pegasus withdrew from the battle of the underground world with his own forces and began to live a secluded life.

Because of this, Yugi Muto, an ordinary high school student, now has a very high reputation among the duelists in the underground world. (Although Yugi himself is not aware of it)

Dark duelists all over the world generally believe that if this boy named Yugi Muto is really just an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible for him to win Pegasus.

In addition, Yugi holds the "Millennium Building Blocks" which are said to have the highest status among the Millennium Artifacts, so many people believe that Yugi should be the most powerful dark duelist in the world today.

But there are also quite a few people who believe that the real strongest person in the underground world is someone else.

That is the new group, Gurus, which has just joined recently, destroyed a lot of unwritten rules of the underground world but has irresistible strength... and the leader of the group, Malik Ishdar.

The Gravekeepers, to whom Malik belongs, have been a family that all forces have been quite wary of for many years. It can even be said that if they want, the Gravekeepers could become the leaders of the underground world at any time.

The reason is simple, because the legendary Millennium Artifact, which possesses the top power of the Dark Game, and the most powerful card "Three Phantom Gods" in the Duel Monster World, have been kept in the hands of the Gravekeepers for many years.

It is just that it is said that the Gravekeepers have always strictly abided by the teachings handed down by their ancestors and never abused the power of the Millennium Artifact and the Phantom God Card.

However, Malik, the descendant of this generation of the Gravekeepers, is obviously the first person who is determined to break this rule. He took away the Millennium Artifact and the Phantom God Card that were supposed to be kept for the Pharaoh without authorization, offered various conditions that could not be refused, recruited a large number of dark duelists, and formed the rare card hunter organization "Gurusu", which quickly occupied a place in the underground world.

Because Gurus acted in a tyrannical and barbaric style and destroyed many rules that the dark duelists had tacitly accepted for many years, in just a few months, many organizations had friction with Gurus, and many people did not like Malik.

Fortunately, Malik seems to have no interest in fame, wealth or status. His only goal is to enter the battle city and take revenge on the nameless pharaoh in Yugi Muto's body.

Therefore, most forces have adopted a respectful attitude towards Gurus, allowing him to fight with Yugi Muto. It would be great if Yugi could bring this madman down, and then Gurus's power would naturally collapse.

However, the "Night Walker World" that Youyu is planning to join is an exception.

Because unlike others, the headquarters of the "Night Walker World" is located in Toshino City.

The Dark Duelist Organization has a deep sense of territory. Logically, this area should belong to their territory.

The president of the organization is still a hot-tempered person. He stubbornly believes that "being killed by Gurus's gang of bandits in their own territory and doing atrocities" is a very shameful thing. He clearly said that if Gurus dared to come with all his troops, they would declare war on the spot in Toshino City!

If he hadn't been afraid that Malik might be really awesome and he thought he couldn't defeat him, the president might have already led his men to the Gurus base camp.

However, thanks to the tough attitude of the "Night Walker World" president, Malik didn't move the entire Gurus to Tong Mino City.

After all, his target was only Muto Yugi (or the Pharaoh in Yugi's body). Although he didn't take people other than Yugi seriously, he wanted to avoid complications if possible.

This is why Malik only picked a few relatively promising subordinates to join the battle in the Battle City chapter.

At this moment, Youyu was preparing to do the hidden task of the camp category related to this -

- Join the Night Walker World!
