"International Illusion Society?"
Kagura looked up, seemingly puzzled. He touched the glass covering the card and asked Dartz a question:
"Wasn't it already taken down? The headquarters was wiped out."
Upon hearing this, Darz laughed as if she had thought of something amusing: "Heh, it's only been destroyed on the surface. Just like a tree struck by lightning, only the branches die, while the roots remain alive."
"In the second year, new branches will grow and it will be full of life again."
Dartz snapped his fingers, and Rafael, who was standing next to him, immediately poured a glass of red wine to create a boss-like atmosphere for his boss.
Dartz swayed his gaze at the wine in his goblet: "Pegasus is indeed a very talented human, not only bringing the Duel Monsters game back to the modern era."
"There is also a brief overview of the company's management."
"He once adopted a pair of twins and raised them as his successors. Even now, though Pegasus's soul has been taken away, their prestige within the company remains sufficient."
"They had secretly moved the true base of the International Illusion Society long ago, and all the stored cards were hidden in different branches."
As he spoke, he took a small sip of wine, seemingly quite knowledgeable about Kagura, and said leisurely:
"It is said that after Pegasus created the three Egyptian Gods, he feared their power and created the three Evil Gods, who were on the same level as the Egyptian Gods."
"And these three cards are in the hands of his adopted sons, Tianma Yuexing and Tianma Yexing."
Kagura's gaze suddenly shifted, as if she were quite interested.
But Dartz could tell he was trying hard to pretend he wasn't interested.
Ha, he's still a very easy child to understand.
Darzine was inwardly sneering when she suddenly heard Kagura ask in a nonchalant but serious tone:
"Didn't you say you'd also customize a deck for me?"
Dartz:
Well, this kid isn't easy to fool.
Giving Kiryu a deck wouldn't be a problem, but the darkness in this kid's heart is so complex. If we were to actually print out the cards he's thinking of, even the evil god boss would probably be exhausted from talking for another six months.
Then, something suddenly occurred to him, and he had a good idea:
"[Summoned Beast]—"
Kagura looked up.
Seeing that he had attracted the other party's attention, Dartz laughed and said, "You already have enough cards in your deck. Too many cards will only affect the duelist's skill level."
"Skill lies in quality, not quantity; the same applies to card decks."
Kagura suspected that the old man was trying to renege on his debt, and looked at Dartz with suspicion.
Seriously? You already have a suit and red wine, you're so wealthy and powerful, why would you need a few credit cards from me?
Dartz coughed lightly a few times: "How about this, Pegasus designed a deck for you called 'Summoning Beasts', didn't he?"
"But according to the information I have, this deck is still a work in progress. How about this, I'll help you complete it."
As she spoke, Darz felt a little guilty.
The difference between a half set of cards and a full set of cards is too big; only a fool would agree to that.
"make a deal!"
"Fool," Kagura readily agreed.
Then she looked at him with bright, expectant eyes:
"When will production begin?"
Seeing that Kagura, who never suffers a loss, agreed so readily, Dartz had a bad feeling inexplicably.
He had a feeling that the evil god boss would definitely scold him.
On King's side, according to the original plot, he should have boarded the train and then been ambushed by the insects Hagoromo and the dinosaur Ryuzaki who had joined Doma.
However, the insect-like moth is still in a semi-vegetative state, and the dinosaur-like dragon rider can't handle things on his own, so he's forced to take care of him.
So this part of the story was cut by the butterfly.
Of course, there's no longer the story of Yugi falling into the valley and then battling his inner AIBO.
But Yugi is Yugi after all. Under the power of the plot, Jonouchi suddenly awakened his persuasive skills briefly and successfully convinced Yugi.
Then, the king from three thousand years ago rallied and prepared to begin the final battle against Doma to save AIB0.
But where can Dorma be found?
The five were briefly puzzled when suddenly a card flew towards them like a throwing card, hitting Jōnechi squarely between the eyebrows. "Damn it! Who threw cards like that?!"
Jonouchi angrily picked up the card, not forgetting to check what kind of card it was, lest he, Jonouchi, stumble upon some rare card that had fallen from the sky.
"Hey, Jonouchi, look! There seem to be words on this!"
Kyoko pointed at Katu, where several large characters were written in a blank area: "Looking for Doma? Go to the International Illusion Society?"
Above it, there was a simple line drawing, a route marked with a few lines, and an "X" marked the important part.
It was also specially marked as the "Secret Base of the International Illusion Society," along with a cute 636 emoticon.
Everyone: —
Such a strong personal style! Even just looking at the emoticons at the end, it's as if you can see the expression on the other person's face.
Jōnei quickly searched the surrounding area but couldn't find a single person. He sighed.
"What should we do? Should we go here?"
Xingzi tried hard to decipher the blurry, indistinct line drawing, attempting to gain some kind of telepathic connection.
After a moment, the energetic high school girl gave up, her chin visibly drooping under the sun.
"This painting style is damn familiar."
Wang Yang remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "There's no other way, go!"
He said he was fearless in order to save AIB0!
Even if there are traps, the king is not afraid at all!
Half a day later, Wang fell silent.
Was he speaking too soon?
Where exactly is this painting depicting?!
And this place is completely deserted, so why is there a quarter of a person here?
Where are the police officers?!
Two days later—
In the underground altar of one of the top skyscrapers in the bustling downtown of New York, Darzines, looking utterly defeated, shakily pulled out a few cards and collapsed.
Amidst the curses of the evil god boss, Darz, like a drained, hardworking laborer, handed over the fruits of her labor to the client, namely, the card, to Kagura.
Kagura was in a good mood, smiling as she took the card. She examined it carefully, her smile widening, and she looked refreshed.
He looked like a capitalist who had drained the workers of their blood and sweat, or a vampire who directly sucked their blood, his face glowing and his smile radiant.
Dartz:
He struggled to his feet, his legs trembling slightly as he took a couple of steps, feeling utterly drained.
Looking back now, I really should slap myself twice.
Why did I ever promise to print cards for this kid in the first place?
This kid really doesn't hold back when it comes to using people. Even though Dartz has the power of Orichalcos to recuperate, it will still take him several days to recover.
The arrival of the evil god was delayed by a full half month, but fortunately it made up for it by eating a few more souls.
