Chapter 119

"Oh no!!"

Upon learning the monster's effects, Pegasus's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down his face.

The Yugi's corners curled slightly upward as it chuckled, "Looks like you finally noticed. Well then, accept this outcome!"

Then he swung his arm and shouted, "Let's fight! First, I'll use [Lucky Straight Swordsman] to attack [Toon Chaos Soldier]!"

"You actually attacked with a monster that has even lower attack power!?"

Drink--!

The Lucky Straight Swordsman raised his longsword and charged forward, swinging it at the Toon Chaos Soldier.

Once the latter realized what was happening, he immediately swung his hand and cut the swordsman in half at the waist.

Bang--!

[Yugi Muto: LP3400→2800]

Although the monster in the Yugi was defeated, this did not eliminate Pegasus's unease; on the contrary, it made him even more vigilant.

As expected.

The next moment, Yugi quickly returned to his palm and shouted, "At this instant, the other ability of the destroyed [Lucky Straight Swordsman] has been activated!"

When this card is destroyed by battle, you can target up to 3 Warrior-type - Light Attribute monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon those monsters.

"Come on, [Jack's Knight], [Ace Knight], and... [The Strange Female Warrior]!"

Jack's Knight and a knight dressed as a clown stood on either side, while a female warrior in black leather, wielding a lightsaber, stood between them.

[Jack's Knight: Attack Power 1900]

[Ace Knight: Attack Power 2000]

[The Strange Female Warrior: Attack Power 1500]

Looking at this lineup, Pegasus sighed and then placed his right hand over the deck.

"[The Strange Female Warrior] can eliminate both sides after battling the monster, therefore this duel is a victory for Yugi boy ~."

[Pegasus J. Crawford: LP1500→0]

Chapter 166 The Three Evil Gods

"Nice~, that's a brilliant tactic. Compared to the other Yugi boy, You is clearly stronger. As the main character, You is already capable of handling things on your own."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Hearing praise, the Yugi is no longer as easily embarrassed as before.

Indeed, as Pegasus said, and he hasn't relied on King for a long time, but this has resulted in the latter having far fewer scenes.

"I'm also out of touch with the times; Duel Monsters have evolved way too fast!"

"Yugi boy will definitely keep moving forward in the future, right?"

"Um."

After that, the two parted ways.

However, before leaving, Pegasus provided the Yugi with a very interesting piece of information.

According to him, when he was creating the Three Phantom Gods cards, he suddenly had the inspiration to create the Three Evil Gods, which were cards that could fight against the Three Phantom Gods cards.

He guessed at the time that the power of the Three Evil Gods had influenced him, but strangely, after creating the Three Evil Gods, he found that there were no so-called evil gods or their corresponding powers inside. They were just three pure cards without any power.

Generally, cards are believed to house spirits, but it's strange that these three cards don't, as if the Three Evil Gods don't exist in this world at all, or haven't even been born yet.

Hearing this, Yugi and King roughly guessed what had happened.

The reason might be the Yugi itself; the three evil gods do not actually exist.

However, because something like World Memory recorded the Yugi's past memories, their information was unintentionally leaked and flowed into Pegasus's mind, generating what he called inspiration.

Because these three cards were quite powerful in this era, he only made one set, and they are currently being kept by his adopted son Tenma Yakou, who is also participating in the KC Cup tournament.

According to Pegasus's guess, Tenma Yakou should have already advanced with the three evil gods.

As for Tenma Yakou, I've heard of him in the Yugi. He's one of Pegasus's adopted sons, but I'm not sure about his specific strength.

The only known fact is that Tenma Yakou's twin brother, Tenma Gekkou, was known as the "Perfect Duelist," but it seems that Pegasus actually admires his younger brother more.

So why are they suddenly being asked to participate in the competition now?

5. Pegasus stated frankly that his two adopted sons were out investigating the Doma incident, and coincidentally, the two brothers were not there on the day he got into trouble. Therefore, feeling guilty, the two brothers wanted to use this competition to help Pegasus restore his reputation.

So Pegasus brought them to the competition.

That's what he wanted to tell the Yugi before he left.

"AIBO, if we encounter that guy named Tenma Yakou in the match, let me play."

Having learned of the existence of the Three Evil Gods, King was also eager to try his hand at cards, as it would be a perfect opportunity to satisfy his card-playing addiction.

After all, he hadn't played cards in a long time, and he felt like he was almost disappearing from the game.

The Yugi readily agreed to his request, saying, "Since you're interested, then it'll be up to you."

Two...

"Alright, the top sixteen finalists for the KC Grand Prix, hosted by Kaiba Corporation, are finally all here!"

In the center of the Kaiba Land venue, Isono was holding a microphone and loudly announcing the results of the preliminary rounds.

Inside the group lounge, the Yugi were gathered around the television.

"So many familiar faces have made it into the knockout stage, Yugi."

"Indeed..."

"As expected of Darling, you're the first to advance."

"Hmph, I didn't expect to find someone like you, a mere mortal, here too. How disappointing."

"Such large breasts!? Kaiba, you rascal..."

Most of the sixteen people displayed on the TV screen were people they knew from the Yugi.

At this moment, the Yugi pointed to the two men sitting at the very edge and whispered, "Look, Other Me. Those two identical people with long green hair are Tenma Yakou and Tenma Gekkou."

"Are my chosen opponents among them? They certainly exude a powerful aura; it's intriguing."

They seemed to notice the Yugi's gaze and politely nodded to him.

"Hmph, have you noticed Pegasus's two adopted sons, Yugi?"

"Yes, Pegasus mentioned them to me. It's said that his adopted son, Tenma Yakou, possesses three evil gods that can rival the Three Phantom Gods."

"Hmph~, the Three Evil Gods, huh? That's the first time I've heard of them. Looks like Pegasus has quite a collection of good cards..."

President: We need to find a time to fleece him.

"By the way, the one wearing the purple jacket is Tenma Yakou, but no one has seen him use the Evil God Card during the competition, so he's hiding his strength."

"The one with the purple jacket... I understand, thank you, Kaiba."

Looking at the Yugi's expression, the President said with displeasure, "Hmph, are you that interested in him?"

"I'm also looking forward to another duel with Kaiba."

"Hmph."

Upon hearing the Yugi's answer, Kaiba nodded in satisfaction this time.

"Yugi Muto!"

"Seto Kaiba!"

" Within the Jonouchi!"

While they were talking during the Yugi, three muscular men suddenly approached.

The Yugi, realizing what was happening, immediately greeted them, "Rafael, Amelda, and Valon, you've arrived!"

The newcomer was none other than the former Doma's Three Musketeers.

"Hey! Valon, you've recovered already?"

"Yes, thanks to you."

Jonouchi familiarly put his arm around Valon's shoulder, and then the two good buddies went out for a friendly exchange (boxing).

"It seems you've moved on from the shadows of the past, Amelda."

I'm no longer dwelling on the past.

"Hmph."

It seems that Amelda's appearance has put the President in a good mood.

Meanwhile, the Yugi was also talking to Rafael, "Rafael, have you decided to change yourself?"

Rafael nodded. "I was deceived by Dartz in the past, and spent the first half of my life chasing after unrealistic and flawed ideals."

"Thanks to you, and the nameless Pharaoh, I realized my mistake and was finally able to escape this deception. But at the same time, I also lost my way."

The Yugi understood, "So you now want to continue as a duelist?"

"That's right." Rafael nodded and replied, "As a duelist, I also want to try my hand at the throne of the King of Games."

"So, if I meet you in a match, I will do everything in my power to beat you!"

The Yugi looked at him earnestly and said, "I won't lose!"

"Ha, how can we do it any other way?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Just then, Isono on the screen began to announce the opponent for the match.

Chapter 167 VS Mai

The first duel is between the undefeated King of Games, Yugi Muto! And facing him is the flamboyant duelist, Mai!

As soon as Isono finished speaking, the enthusiasm of the entire audience was instantly ignited.

Setting up these two heavyweights against each other right from the start, as the opening act of the finals, carries considerable weight.

Don't even think about it indoors.

"No way, Wu's already got into the Yugi so quickly!?"

Jonouchi looked at Mai with a pitiful expression.

Upon seeing this, the latter frowned slightly. "What's with that expression? Are you looking down on me?"

"Uh, this..."

The gazes within the Jonouchi began to wander.

Jonouchi: After all, it's the Yugi, that great demon king.

Your worries are unnecessary!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!"

Mai grabbed Jonouchi's face with both hands and pulled hard.

Then, with annoyance, she flicked her long golden hair and said, "Hmph!"

"The only opponents I'm interested in are you and the Yugi. I don't care which match it is, as long as it's you two."

"And my deck and I have gotten stronger, so I won't lose to you anymore, Yugi!"

As she spoke, Wu turned her gaze toward the Yugi.

The latter replied earnestly, "That's hard to say, Wu."

"Hmph~, then let me look forward to it."

She then turned and left the lounge.

Good luck in the game, you two!
