Tragoedia realized almost at that moment what was happening.
This was a trap.
The last time they met, Yuei Vu left a deep impression on him. In addition, Yuei Vu carried the title of "Honorary Principal" on his head, and it was indeed easier to attract hatred, so Tragoedia paid almost all attention to him.
This made him ignore that Yuei Vu was not the only person in the world who could pose a threat to him.
For example, the young man who appeared in front of him at this moment, Muto Yugi, a duel king as famous as Yuei Vu, and was rumored to have been the vessel of the Nameless Pharaoh.
This made Tragoedia quickly realize that Yuei Vu's departure itself was a trap.
Tragoedia was not only an extremely powerful demon, but his abilities were also quite troublesome. He was incorporeal and could jump from medium to medium in the form of a dark miasma.
He could attach himself to other human beings and occupy other human beings' bodies like a dove's nest. He could also attach himself to spiritual objects or cards and jump from one place to another, like an invisible ghost.
As you can imagine, it would be very difficult to catch such a guy. As long as he focused on hide-and-seek, any reconnaissance methods or search techniques would not work on him.
After all, how did you catch a ghost?Unless……
… The ghost gave up hiding himself and jumped out arrogantly to cause trouble.
Yuei Vu was indeed very strong now, even if he faced Tragoedia head-on, he got the upper hand – but that's only for now.
Strength has never clouded Yuei Vu's judgment. He knew all his advantages and all his shortcomings.
In a game, he preferred to be the one who took the initiative. Not only did he take the initiative in action, but he also liked to be in a proactive position when it came to intelligence.
He preferred to be able to actively choose when to attack, rather than passively waiting for the enemy to come to his door.
There were no absolutes in the world of dueling, and no matter how powerful a duelist was, there may be cards and tactics that he could not cope with. Maybe Tragoedia hasn't figured out his details yet, but as time went by, it's natural that more variables would occur.
If Yuei Vu really did nothing and just sat on the island calmly and waited for the Big Lobster to come to him, by then maybe the Big Lobster would have found a way to defeat him. Maybe he would have acquired some unknown power that was a headache, or printed a bunch of new cards and the like that weren't in the original manga.
That’s when it got really tricky.
That's why Yuei Vu chose to leave voluntarily – on the one hand, it was indeed to try to track down Tragoedia's clues, and on the other hand, he also deliberately made a feint to lure Tragoedia to attack.
Then the simple-minded Big Lobster took the bait as expected.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, when Yuei Vu left, he placed on the island the most powerful and most trusted duelist in the world besides himself.
So Tragoedia had almost just set foot on the academy island and ran into Muto Yugi before he could do anything.
"…Damn." Tragoedia snorted, "Did you deliberately ambush me… but that's all."
The man's pupils were occupied by the sudden burst of darkness, and his eyes were as deep as the netherworld.
"Then come on." He said coldly, "Anyway, you Duel Kings will become my obstacles sooner or later. Muto Yugi, then let me deal with you here!"
The villain's typical bloat syndrome occurred again, and Big Lobster felt that he was very good again…
"Yuei Vu told me about your origin." Yugi said seriously, "He said that you are the darkness bred from the birth of the Millennium Items, and you are the aggregation of sin.
In this case, then you are the enemy that ‘another me' should defeat and are part of his mission. "
"Pharaoh?" Tragoedia said disdainfully, "But he is no longer in this world."
The expression that needed to be beaten was like saying——
——Could the Pharaoh still crawl out of his grave and face me?
However, Big Lobster didn’t know that it was actually possible. The only question was whether he had the qualifications…
"That's right, he is no longer here." Yugi said firmly, opening the Duel Disk and taking a stance, "So, this mission will be shouldered by me!"
"Oh, a mere host like you?"
He's still talking about "mere host" after all these years. Maybe Big Lobster was the only one left among the villains in the world who dared to do that…
"Duel!" x2
【Tragoedia, LP 4000】
【Yugi, LP 4000】
"It's me who goes first, draw!"
Tragoedia glanced at the cards in his hand and sneered twice, seeming very confident.
"Ha, you may be the Duel King of mankind, Muto Yugi. But I guarantee you have never seen a duel like mine!"
Yugi held his breath and braced himself.
He knew the origin of Tragoedia, and naturally also knew how powerful the other party was. It has been a long time since the game has faced an opponent of this level seriously, so there is no room for error.
Tragoedia waved his hand: "Set two cards, I end my turn."
Yugi couldn't help but be a little startled when he saw two more set cards in front of him.
Set two cards… and just pass the turn?
Is this a "duel never seen before"?
"My turn then."
He suppressed his doubts and entered his turn.
"I normal summon ‘Delta The Magnet Warrior' in attack position!"
Light blue electromagnetic force emerged, and the metal parts slid along the electromagnetic track in mid-air, spliced and combined with each other, and quickly transformed into a compact electromagnetic warrior.
[Delta The Magnet Warrior, ATK 1600]
"Magnet Warrior?" Tragoedia curled his lips, "Then open the set card: Trap Card – Trap Hole! When the opponent Normal or Flip Summons 1 monster with 1000 or more ATK: Target that monster; destroy that target!"
Before the poor magnet warrior had time to stand firm, he fell into a huge hole in the ground and was blown to pieces.
Yugi frowned slightly.
Good guy, why does this move look so familiar?
But he continued: "Then the effect of ‘Delta The Magnet Warrior' is activated. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can send 1 Level 4 or lower ‘Magnet Warrior' monster from my Deck to the Graveyard."
A card automatically popped up in Yugi's deck.
"I sent ‘Beta The Electromagnet Warrior' from the deck to the graveyard."
Of course, even so, his normal summoning this turn has been used up, and he could not summon any more monsters.
So Yugi handsomely held out two cards with two fingers and set them down with a wave of his big hand.
"I also set two cards, then I end my turn!"
Tragoedia felt his unique aura belonging to the Duel King, looked at the two black set cards, and couldn't help but think.
Good guy, why does this move look so familiar?
"Hmph, then it's my turn, draw!"
Tragoedia drew the card, glanced at the two set cards with unknown uses in the back row of Yugi, thought about it for a moment, and seemed to have decided to adopt a conservative strategy and not take the initiative to test for the time being.
"Then I'll set another card, and my turn is over!"
Yugi:"……"
