The two jokers who wandered over here are naturally the two-man team tasked by Youyu to search for the "Name of the Pharaoh."
Hammer-eighty-no-bargain jumped up excitedly as soon as he saw Bakura, clutching Heart Flying with the Wind beside him and exclaiming, "Holy crap, we ran straight into the ultimate boss!"
Hurry and take a screenshot to show off on the forum!
Heart Flying with the Wind was taken aback, "Boss?"
"Huh? Have you never watched the anime?"
"Uh... I have, but it's been so long I can't remember clearly," Heart Flying with the Wind rubbed his temples.
He hadn't seen the later seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh, but he did watch "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM," although it was a long time ago, so his memories were a bit fuzzy.
Hammer-eighty-no-bargain exclaimed excitedly, "That's Bakura! Great Evil God, the ultimate final boss! We bumped into him early!"
Bakura's mind raced.
These two actually know my true identity?
Before now, only Youyu had seen through his real self.
Bakura quickly made connections and began to suspect they might have been brought to this world by Youyu through some special means...
"Ultimate boss? Him?" Heart Flying with the Wind was utterly confused.
He scrutinized Bakura again—full of arrogance, with a shocking scar on his face. He seemed mighty, but wore only a large red robe with black shorts underneath, and was holding...
...garlic?
Heart Flying with the Wind looked blankly at his companion, "Would there be a boss poor enough to chew garlic?"
Bakura's forehead popped a "#" sign, "This is mangosteen! Not garlic!"
Dang it, forget about six-year-olds, you all are so uncultured...
Hammer-eighty-no-bargain looked disdainful, thinking, don't think I'm uncultured, in a place like this where would the mangosteen come from? It clearly looks like garlic...
Beside him, Marik thought he should give his plastic buddy some face, maybe act bossy and not laugh...
...but this was too damn funny, he couldn't hold it in...
Seeing the six-year-old laughing heartily, Bakura's already dark face became even darker.
Damn! Did you all conspire to drive me insane?
Initially, the two players hadn't noticed the six-year-old's existence, but his laughter quickly drew their attention.
Hammer-eighty-no-bargain was startled, "Holy crap, is Marik here too? Wasn't he long gone?"
"Yo." Dark Marik folded his arms, looking down with a smug look at both of them, "Are you Youyu's people? Heh, send him my regards. He owes me a rather significant debt."
He paused, then laughed sinisterly, "Of course, if you still have the chance to see him alive, hehehe…"
However, the six-year-old didn't know his expressive face was being frantically screenshotted by Hammer-eighty-no-bargain, immediately posted on the forum.
The thread he posted attracted a lot of attention in just over a minute. Just running into Bakura was plenty of sensational, not to mention the ominous presence of Marik beside Bakura as a major bombshell.
Some jokers started to reply in the thread, saluting the avatar king, saying things like "long time no see, feeling blue all over with artistry" and the like.
"Ah!" Heart Flying with the Wind suddenly yelled, startling everyone present.
"I think I remember," he said, "The ultimate boss of DM, the Great Evil God Sock… isn't he a big blotchy black lump, with a gigantic dragon head between his legs, spraying all over performing art?"
"Hahaha!!!"
Marik, although he hadn't seen the spectacular scene of the Great Evil God wandering with a massive dragon head between his legs, was amused by his joker-like description.
Marik obviously considered Heart Flying with the Wind's words as malicious ridicule, but Bakura couldn't laugh at all... in fact, he inhaled sharply.
Hiss~
This person not only knows my true identity but might have seen my real form?
Otherwise, how could he describe it so accurately!?
A blotchy black lump with a massive dragon head between the legs...
...exactly describes my Great Evil God Sock!
Bakura squinted, and pure killing intent shot in his gaze toward the two jokers.
Though he still has absolute confidence in himself, he felt uneasy given Youyu and these jokers' knowledge about him.
He has decided. At least one of these two has to stay, to understand how they acquired such information!
Silently, he opened the ancient golden Duel Disc in his hand. Five beams of light shot into the sky and quickly summoned five giant slabs slamming in front of him.
"Oh?" Marik's lip curled in a smirk, "Going for it?"
"Humph." Bakura laughed sinisterly, "Just right, let me test the effect of these cards I just dug out.
Let's begin! A dark duel with our lives at stake! The loser's soul will remain in this memory space, wandering eternally!"
Bakura laughed maliciously.
"Perfect for the 'Ultimate Darkness Game' duel!"
"God, you go!" Hammer-eighty-no-bargain quickly pushed Heart Flying with the Wind forward.
Heart Flying with the Wind holds the top-tier "Gladiator Beast" card deck, his skills among players are top-notch, and he's generally seen as a top player. (Though he himself isn't aware of this)
"You play cards." Hammer-eighty-no-bargain gave a thumbs-up gesture, "I'll stream everything for you!"
While speaking, he was downloading a plugin to stream on the forum in the game pod.
His streaming was yet to connect, but many players were eagerly waiting to watch, seeing a preliminary run of a boss battle representing players…
...among them might sneak an NPC.
Yes, Youyu sneaked in quietly too.
Youyu had just left the Land of Trial, heading to the Royal Palace. Suddenly, a joker beside him exclaimed to a companion, saying, look at the forum, it seems our teammates are encountering a boss preparing for a raid…
Then Youyu opened the forum, entering the spectator mode.
Information warfare in dueling is very crucial; knowing what card deck and ace card the opponent uses beforehand, even without specific counter-planning, at least allows better preparation.
This way, encountering this adversary later won't leave him at a disadvantage.
Just right, Youyu also wants to see what cards the Great Evil God Sock has yet to use.
Players aren't mortal, seen as reusable cannon fodder, just suitable to test the enemy's depth. And Heart Flying with the Wind is among top players; if it were other players, they might not even force the opponent to reveal their ace cards.
Livestream connected, hordes of eager players swarmed in. Both sides had taken their positions, and the duel was about to begin.
Heart Flying with the Wind looked at Bakura's ancient Duel Disc and the five slabs in front, appearing bewildered.
"You're planning… to duel with these things?"
