"Ah ah ah!!!"
Youyu held the Millennium Ring in his hand, a roar echoing in his ears as if from a void-separated place, filled with fear, resentment, and rage.
Considering what was residing inside the Millennium Ring, Youyu reckoned this must be the Great Evil God Sok... or at least something related to him.
To be exact, this is not the true Great Evil God Sok. After all, Sok's true form has perished, blasted into smithereens by Holactie the Creator of Light, completely washed away like filth in a toilet under the divine force of a bathroom cleaner.
But a powerful entity like Sok surpasses the concept of ordinary living beings. His body was destroyed, his soul crushed to dust, yet somehow a tiny remnant of evil obsession lingered on.
It's almost like a resilient cockroach.
Even a trace of obsession now lacks the original mighty strength, and it's impossible for the Great Evil God Sok to be resurrected from this trace alone. But even so, it's a dark grievance of the Great Evil God, combined with the strong divine power of the Millennium Ring, still a force not to be underestimated.
If left unchecked, allowing it to taint others' hearts with deep-seated evil thoughts, and find a new host, it still has the potential of becoming a terrifying disaster — just like what it did to Aigami during the movie's climax.
... Unfortunately, now it's in Youyu's hands.
Youyu heard the thunderous voice explode unwillingly beside his ears, roaring with fear. He felt the trapped beast in this golden ring attempting desperately to break free from its cage, as if saying —
— You've got to be kidding me, it's you again!!!
Holactie, are you serious! I've already died, why can't you just leave me alone?
It seems the consciousness lingering in the Millennium Ring retained the memory Sok had before his death.
For this reason, its reaction when encountering Youyu was so intense.
Youyu stretched out his arm, distancing the Millennium Ring in his hand from himself.
A visibly dark mist released from the Millennium Ring, twisted into a pitch-black abstract entity. Though not large, it vaguely held the outline of the once majestic Great Evil God Sok, even the dark dragon head beneath him vividly alive.
Aigami, seated behind, froze upon seeing the black figure.
Such dark and evil existence in the world!
Only then did he realize he underestimated the evil contained within the Millennium Ring, underestimated the power of the Evil God. Even without the presence of its true form, it still possesses such terrifying, hellish power.
This was the Evil God's released rage, revealing its evil fangs, as if willing to go all out in a death match against its nemesis...
"Enough of the noise." Youyu impatiently said, "When alive, you were annoyingly noisy, now even your ashes are noisy, aren't you tired? Quiet down!"
The distorted shadow in mid-air froze instantly.
It was filled with fury, hatred, wishing to tear Youyu to pieces, indeed having the urge to fight the moment before.
But as Youyu's voice sounded, all memories of the Light of Creation with infinite divine presence, the embodiment of creation dispelling all darkness, resurfaced vividly in its mind. It recalled once again the moment of its own destruction, the dragon-head beneath having its neck snapped, collapsing brokenly.
The Great Evil God Sok feared nothing, never backed down.
... Unless absolutely necessary.
The dark shadow stiffened for a moment, swiftly vanished, disintegrated, and retreated back into the corner of the Millennium Ring, silent as if dead.
Actually, Youyu didn't have much means to deal with the leftover traces of evil in the Millennium Ring. They were intangible, the ring wasn't destructible, it nestled within the ring like a turtle pulling its head, truly hard to deal with.
Ancients could only deal with such things in one way, sealing.
Either bury it in the deepest possible pit, or seal it with an indestructible sealing skill. However, as everyone knows, villains dealt with in such a way eventually find an opportune coincidence to emerge again and wreak havoc, often ending up more formidable than when they were sealed.
So Youyu decided to keep the ring with him, far more reliable than sealing it in some random corner.
Hence, the major crisis at the movie's end should not exist now.
In the movie's climax of Dark Side of Dimensions, Aigami was consumed by the Millennium Ring's darkness, provoking large-scale disaster. But now the ring was in Youyu's hands, naturally incapable of causing chaos again.
Now there is a remaining issue to address.
Mani lay unconscious to the side. Youyu put away the Millennium Ring and turned his gaze towards Aigami.
Aigami met his gaze, immediately alarm bells rang in his heart, holding his breath.
He personally felt the strength of Sok's evil thoughts, also witnessing how a mere glance, mere words from Youyu intimidated it back into retreat within the ring, shutting down.
Duel King Youyu, terrifying indeed!
"Aigami, is it? I've been looking for you." Youyu said, "I heard my student received quite a lot of 'care' from you before."
Aigami: "?"
Is this a case of having beaten the small one, now comes the big one for making a fuss?
But the problem is...
... I'm the one who got beaten, damn it!
A disciple went out and beat people up, then reported back to the master. The master shook his head, saying your stance was incorrect, lacking force. Allow me to demonstrate the correct posture for pummeling...
... Is there any logic like this?
"Heard you're quite strong, a rare powerful one. Even President Haima seemed to almost lose against you..."
Aigami: I'm not, I didn't, you're spouting nonsense.
He pulled out Obelisk from the floor without warning, how could I possibly win...
"In any case, you've piqued my interest."
Youyu's Duel Disc unfolded on his arm, system activated, all indicators lit sequentially.
He agreed to Sella's terms to prevent President Haima's grave-digging, disturbing the peaceful rest of the deceased, allowing Prana to succeed in their ascension, intending to leave the Millennium Item Quantum Cube to Youyu.
Youyu didn't plan on eliminating Aigami, merely teaching him a lesson.
In the movie, Aigami was a chronic troublemaker, unable to cause such chaos without his antics. Additionally, this guy seemed to harbored resentment over Shadi's death, possibly still looking to stir trouble for Bakura.
Therefore, to prevent the upcoming potential chaos, and teaching Aigami a lesson, Youyu decided to confiscate his tool of crime —
— the Cubic Deck.
In a Duel Master's world, without a deck, how can one continue to jump around?
"Bullying ten-year-olds doesn't count much. Dare to try with me?"
Aigami felt he should probably refuse, the recent continuous blows leaving him somewhat apprehensive facing the legendary Duel King.
However...
"Can't wait." Aigami began to talk tough, "Then let me show you the terror of Cubic Monsters!"
