Chapter 112: What's the Point of Talking About Something Else?

Malik Ishdar has been in a bad mood recently, very bad.

He has been preparing for a revenge that will end the fate of the grave-keeping clan and span three thousand years. This Duel City is the final stage of his revenge plan.

He has made full preparations to cause trouble in this competition and is determined to make the soul of the nameless pharaoh pay the price. However, he did not want to start off badly. He was defeated one after another before he even had time to officially declare war on Yugi. Even the Sky Dragon, one of his trump cards, was lost...

...But it doesn't matter!

As the leader of the Gurus Group and the second strongest duelist in the village, Malik of course prepared a backhand.

In the original work of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, Malik actually prepared an extra hand. In the animation, he sent a puppet holding the Sky Dragon to challenge Yugi. After being defeated, he immediately sent the Gurus man to capture Yugi's best friend Jonouchi, and brainwashed Jonouchi with the power of the Millennium Staff, forcing him to turn against Yugi.

That's right. Malik, who had always followed the rules and had morals and principles, and even punished his subordinates for trying to cheat secretly in the duel with Yugi, seemed to have abandoned his bottom line after losing to Sky Dragon.

When he sent people to capture Jonouchi, he didn't follow the procedures or play cards. Instead, a bunch of big men pushed Jonouchi and Anzi to the ground, punched and kicked them physically, and then dragged them back to the warehouse for Malik to brainwash them.

After that, he deliberately arranged a death duel between Jonouchi and Yugi. Whoever lost would be sunk into the depths of the sea. It was a ruthless duel in the literal sense.

At this moment, Malik was sitting on a chair in a dark corner with his legs crossed, playing with the six puzzle cards he had collected, and snorting while imagining Yugi's desperate look when facing the brainwashed Jonouchi.

......At this point you may be asking, Malik has not played a single card game in Duel City, and he has also lost the remote-controlled puppet game, so where did he get these six puzzle cards?

Of course... they were given by his subordinates!

So the online Yu-Gi-Oh character record introduction says that the original Malik has a record of never winning a single card game throughout the entire Yu-Gi-Oh DM, which can be called an unbeatable myth, and it may not be an exaggeration.

This guy lost the card game in the animation, and even the six puzzle cards for promotion were given by his subordinates-that is to say, in the foreseeable record, this guy has never won against passers-by.

And in Malik's own memories, he seems to have never won a card game with his sister.

If it was just that, it would be fine. There was also a time when the original Malik possessed the hidden big boss Dark Bakuryo in the final chapter of the animation, and dueled with the dark Malik personality that took away his body.

Then the ultimate boss of the Yu-Gi-Oh animation, the holder of the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, the incarnation of darkness, the Great Evil God Sok (the true body of Dark Tapiryo), listened to Malik's suggestions and adopted the tactics he recommended, but he also lost...

From this, it can be seen that if others are bad at playing cards, it's because they are bad at it. But Malik is different. He is so bad that even the legendary Great Evil God Sok (although his card skills are not very good) teamed up with him, and the two of them lost together!

When he was a teammate, he pretended to lose to the Great Evil God Sok!

Although he has never won a card game, Malik can brag about this for the rest of his life.

Malik had already sent his subordinates to track and monitor Jounouchi throughout the whole process, and now it's almost time to take action.

He closed his eyes and released the power of the Millennium Staff to contact his subordinates stationed near Jounouchi.

"How is the matter assigned to you?" Malik asked majestically.

Gulus, who was being questioned, heard the boss's voice in his head and shuddered with fear: "Ma... Lord Malik!"

"Has Jonouchi been arrested?"

"This...hasn't been caught yet..."

"What?" Malik was very angry, "Why haven't you done anything yet?"

The Gulus member wanted to cry but had no tears: "Lord Malik, calm down, this is because...because there is really no chance for him to be alone. Jonouchi has been followed by a lot of weirdos..."

"?" Malik was puzzled, "Weirdos?"

He was too lazy to talk, and directly activated the power of the Millennium Staff to forcefully enter the brain of the Gulus man and share the other party's vision.

The Gulus man was caught off guard: "Ah~"

Malik borrowed his eyes to look in, and at a glance he found Jonouchi not far away, and the chattering people around him...

...a bunch of stupid people?

The knowledgeable gravekeeper Malik was a little confused at this time. His first reaction was to suspect that the thousand-year-old tin staff might have been broken after being stored for thousands of years, and the poor image reception made him see some kind of hallucination.

He saw a group of jumping idiots - judging from the duel disks on their arms, they should be in a duel, and each of them acted as happy as if it was a holiday.

Some of them seemed to be performing performance art that he couldn't understand.

For example, there was a guy who liked to roll around in circles while talking to people.

There was another guy... Malik couldn't tell from the picture given by the Millennium Staff whether he was a human or not, because he had a huge mask on his head that made him look like a hippopotamus, like a worker in an amusement park wearing a doll costume and selling balloons...

... What the hell was he wearing! ?

Although the rules of the tournament didn't have a rule like "forbidden strange costumes", would anyone normally dress like that?

Could you at least dress like a human being?

However, the rough-minded Jonouchi seemed to accept these strange settings and believed that this part of the sand sculpture performance art was a custom they brought from their hometown.

After all, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Kaiba also said that the Duel City Tournament would also allow outstanding duelists from other parts of the world to sign up for the competition. Maybe these weirdos came from some remote corners with strange customs?

After learning that these idiots were fans of him, the "Duel Kingdom runner-up", Jonouchi, who was full of vanity, actually got along quite well with them...

"Tsk." Malik gritted his teeth.

If there were always such a group of idiots surrounding him, he would never get a chance to see Jonouchi alone. It seemed that the plan to capture him as a weakness to deal with Yugi was going to fail before it even started.

This tournament was really not going well for Gurus.

"Keep monitoring him." Malik ordered gloomily, "If you can wait for the next opportunity, do it. If not, forget it."

He snorted heavily, "It seems that we can only give Yugi a break first, let him advance safely, and it won't be too late to punish him in the semi-finals.

For now, our Gurus' strategic focus will be on Kaiba Seto for the time being."

Originally, Malik had no grudge against Kaiba, and he was only looking for the Pharaoh's soul in Yugi's body.

But sister Isis handed the card of the Giant God to Kaiba, which made Malik start to pay attention to this man. He then noticed the millennium war engraved on the ancient stone tablet unearthed in Egypt, and the priest who fought against the Pharaoh and drove the white dragon seemed to be a little similar to Kaiba.

He was more curious about the fact that the three mythical god cards should be used by people related to the millennium artifact, but Kaiba had never obtained any artifact in his life, so why would the Giant God be willing to listen to Kaiba's command.

So a new plan of absolute (making) wonderful (death) took shape in Malik's mind.

He wanted to try to get close to and capture Kaiba Seto, brainwash him with the millennium tin staff, and find out the secret hidden in Kaiba!

He had a hunch that Kaiba might have some important connection with the fate of their grave-keeping clan.

"But Kaiba Seto is a tough man, and he is very vigilant, so it's not that easy to get him." Malik said lightly, "But I heard that he has a brother he cherishes very much.

Now his brother is in our hands, and I need you to assign some people to him. We are going to use his brother as a threat to force Kaiba Seto to surrender.

Kaiba has Obelisk's Giant God Soldier in his hand, and I have the Winged Dragon of the Sun God in my hand. Although I still have the advantage, I still have to be careful..."

The man of Gulus subconsciously asked: "Eh? Don't you still have Osiris's Sky Dragon in your hand?"

Malik: "..."

"...Ah! Ah! Lord Malik, spare me! Spare me!"

Poor Gulus is dead - more accurately, brain dead. The consciousness of his existence has been dragged into the dark abyss to feed unknown creatures, and only an empty shell is left.

Malik's face was dark.

MD, you are talking about something else.
