Kagura: —.
What the hell?
He was lost in thought.
Are there aliens in Yu-Gi-Oh!?
Hmm...it seems there really is.
In the second part, the protagonist Jaden Yuki's ace, [Elemental HERO Neos], seems to be from outer space.
There's also the cosmic noodles in the seventh movie, and even the protagonist in the eighth movie is an alien.
But these scenarios are unlikely. We can't fast-forward to a speed-paced duel where everyone plays cards like elementary school kids.
"Um, he was a creature that was entirely grayish-white, with something like a mask on his face, and his eyes—"
Malik thought for a moment: "His eyes are very exaggerated — oh, right, he also has a name, I think it's —? Bekku!"
Kagura Kiryu:
Very well, you don't need to say anything more, I already know who this is.
One of the Seven Emperors of the Varia, who single-handedly defeated six of them, and contributed a momentous scene to the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!: "This is a shocking fact that is only now being revealed." The six-year-old heir to the art of facial expressions.
Kagura wasn't too surprised, because he did know of Vector's existence.
After all, this was said by Uncle Uoshige Kaibu himself; I just didn't expect him to be in Duel City.
"And then, what else do you want to say?"
Kagura looked at Malik, who was fidgeting.
Judging from this, Ma was quite lucky to have encountered Vector and was neither brainwashed nor killed. Instead, he is still sitting here perfectly fine and has been completely exonerated.
"Um, based on the memories of the other dark personality I acquired..."
Malik sighed: "It seems he deliberately awakened my dark side and formed a partnership with it, something like destroying the world or something."
"But that's not the point. The point is that Lishid was taken away by him."
Malik sighed as he thought of his most loyal servant, who was like a brother to him.
"That person's darkness is incredibly powerful."
Isis, standing to the side, touched her millennia-old jewelry, her expression slightly forlorn: "Even my millennia-old jewelry cannot foresee his future."
"Mr. Kagura."
Malik suddenly stood up, his eyes hardening. "I need your help to rescue Lishid!"
He continued, "He was arrested because of me, and he's my only family member besides my sister!"
"Oh, please!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Isis, who was standing to the side, also stood up and bowed.
"Okay, okay, I agree."
Kagura sighed, and Malik finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling. "Red bean paste, arigato, kozai imasu!" (Thank you so much!)
As night fell, Kagura floated in the sky with the spaceship, chatting casually with Noa.
"Mr. Kagura, I have investigated all the surveillance footage of Tongshino, but I have not found any humanoid creatures with grayish-white skin."
Kaimanaya's voice came from the tape recorder: "However, strangely enough, quite a few suspicious men in black robes have been found."
"However, most of these people are Gurus, and the rest are hard to distinguish because they are covered up so well that it is impossible to tell them out."
The 10-year-old artificial intelligence couldn't help but sigh:
"Using mechanical methods is too unreliable, Mr. Kagura. Don't you have any mystical methods?"
He thought for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Like black divination or something?"
Kagura sighed as well: "Do you think I don't want to? What else can I do besides have spirits?"
"I don't even know the most basic dark games, I'm a complete noob."
"I think I can help you solve this problem."
A young man's voice rang out, startling Kagura, who quickly stood up.
Under the moonlight, he saw a bald Egyptian man who looked remarkably like Lishid looking at him with an indifferent expression.
"You should know me, but I'd still like to introduce myself."
The man bowed respectfully and said, "My name is Xia Di."
Kagura Kiryu: ·
I know that too. He's a director with a thousand-year history, an expert at stirring things up. At least half of the plot in the first movie was driven by this guy. He has mixed reviews, but he's not a very popular character.
If I remember correctly, Shadi was killed long ago by Ryo, who awakened his powers in his childhood—that is, the Great Evil God Saku Inui.
He's a ghost now.
Thinking about it that way is quite creepy; seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.
"Hmm, so? What do you want from me?"
Shadi seemed to sized him up for two seconds. Just as Kagura was hesitating whether to lash out and slap him to death or throw him off the ship, Shadi suddenly approached.
Then she stuffed the thing in her hand into Kagura Kiryu's hand.
Kagura looked at the rather heavy object in her hand with some disgust.
It was a golden scale with a Millennium Eye-shaped mark on it.
Xia Di generously replied, "It's yours."
Kagura: —
Kagura: —!
Kagura: —!!
Holy crap, holy crap!
Shadi! You're a good person!
In Kagura's mind, Xia Di's favorability rating instantly increased by 0.0001%.
"A thousand-year-old scale! You're going to give this to me?"
Kagura could barely suppress the smile on her face.
This is a wonderful item; it's one of the seven ancient artifacts.
Legend has it that this ancient artifact can measure the darkness within someone's heart and can also allow monsters to merge and become a new entity.
What is this?! This is a Dark Force Amplifier combined with a Fusion Monster Printing Machine!
Brother Shadi's expression remained calm, but he still seemed to hold a certain respect: "Duel King, Mr. Kagura, this is just a small compensation."
He stared into Kagura's eyes and said, "I know you seem to have some kind of ability to foresee the future, and you should also know that the three Egyptian Gods will eventually return to the underworld with the Pharaoh, right?"
Kagura hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It seems that Sister Isis knew about his "prophecy," and there's no reason why the patriarch of the tomb-guarding clan wouldn't know.
"Consider this compensation to you."
He continued, "Because the Winged Dragon is still yours, it would be very impolite to take it away without permission."
"Of course, the Millennium Artifact will eventually return to the Underworld as well, so this gift is rather meager. Please accept it."
"I also implore you to help Pharaoh return safely to the underworld. Please."
Brother Xia Di also bowed to him, his tone inexplicably carrying a sense of humility, as if saying, "Please, I've lent you the Scales of Justice, don't cause trouble."
Kagura: ——.
It turned out to be protection money.
Is this because they're afraid he won't be able to bear losing Atem, so they're preventing him from returning to the Underworld?
What a joke, is he that kind of person?
Well, he really couldn't bear to part with the Winged Dragon of Ra.
However, it's not impossible to print a copy card or something, and maybe if he builds a good relationship with the Winged Dragon of Ra during this time, the Winged Dragon of Ra's Pokémon will occasionally help him.
Just like the president, he formed a deep friendship with the Giant Warrior. Even when it came to something as outrageous as drawing cards from the floor, the Giant Warrior would still oblige.
In short, Winged Rathalos was destined to lose money, and even if Shadi didn't give him anything, he wouldn't stop the plot.
However, since Brother Xiadi is so understanding, he will reluctantly accept it.
