Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 404 The Cunning Pegasus
Limited by the imagination of the era and for various other reasons, the level of technology in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world seems somewhat surreal at first glance.

Although there wasn't even an automatic shuffling device in the early stages, the scientists in GX were already able to find a way to open a dimensional portal. Then, the 5DS officially entered the era of perpetual rotation. In the anniversary movie, a new type of duel disk that directly connects to the brain appeared. The Link system produced by Kaiba Corporation directly revolutionized the concept of 'network'.

Even if we disregard the anime adaptations and simply discuss the main manga and spin-offs, there are machines that can directly pull the souls of certain people out of the underworld and place them into the bodies of young girls.

Without a doubt, all of these are things worth complaining about.

But at the same time, it must be admitted that the world's technological level is indeed high, to an unbelievable degree.

In the original work, Kaiba was able to quickly realize within seconds, through a facial recognition system and a satellite launched by his own company, that Blue God might possess the ability to teleport to another dimension.

In this timeline where Pegasus won the revival match, it would be perfectly normal for the International Illusion Society to do something similar... right?

"Recently, our International Illusion Society, together with the Haima Group and the Schreid Foundation, has been developing new energy detection devices, which have been installed on the newly launched satellite to detect any abnormal events on this planet."

"So you found me using this device?"

"Yes, the observers detected very special energy at the location of the original large cavity, which is why we were able to find you immediately."

Well, how to say it?

It can only be said that it perfectly matches Yumei's imagination of the Yu-Gi-Oh! worldview.

Anyway, the principles don't matter. What matters is that the world is now rushing headlong in a certain direction.

The world is no longer led by national governments, but by... conglomerates and corporations.

Of course, this kind of ecosystem would definitely be criticized in other worlds, after all, the story of fighting against evil capitalism alone is a long-standing template in the cyberpunk worldview.

However, in 'Yu-Gi-Oh!', at least for the most part, one can temporarily put this mind at ease.

Even the most cyberpunk-style 5DS, after handling the Dark Signers incident, instantly removed all the so-called wealth gap and other messy things.

Moreover, the "leaders" here are all unquestionable figures who have already "laundered their identities and gone straight":

"The Schreid Foundation has officially invested in some archaeological industries, and Chigurhfrid is planning to re-examine our human history and legends from the perspective of Duel Monsters."

"Um……"

"The Kaiba Group is acquiring land all over the world, and Seto Kaiba seems to be planning to establish formal duelist academies around the world, making this 'method' that can protect humanity mainstream through games."

"It should."

"In addition, our International Illusion Society also plans to establish a duelist league."

"alliance?"

"Yes."

Meeting You Ming's questioning gaze, Tianma Yexing explained:

"After the successful hosting of the Duel City event, Duel Monsters has experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity, and the call for the resumption of the competition has grown louder and louder. Therefore, we plan to unite and establish an official organization for duelists."

"So you're going to formalize all kinds of competitions, right?"

"Yes."

Pushing open the office door, You Ming followed Tianma Yexing to the desk, watching him rummage through it and pull out some paper documents.

“My brother is currently traveling around a lot, and these are his achievements.”

"I see, each region holds its own permanent annual tournament... This is basically the same system as the 'Witchcraft Cards' game, right?"

"After all, there's already a ready-made team."

Tianma Yexing certainly wouldn't deny this:
“Places like Europe already have the foundation for large-scale competitions; all they need to do is increase investment.”

"Then there's the college league... isn't that a bit rushed?"

"This is actually in preparation for the future 'Duel Academy'. According to Seto Kaiba's vision, he wanted the students to learn to compete, so he planned to completely separate the campuses and obtain resources through competition."

"Then he himself is indeed a believer in the law of the jungle."

Thinking about it carefully, although GX mentions it very subtly, the fact that something like the 'GX Tournament' can directly attract a large number of professional duelists in one go can only mean that it does have a relatively mature foundation in this area.

"In addition, we also plan to relax the restrictions on holding competitions. While establishing these annual tournaments, we also plan to hold some commemorative competitions. For example, Seto Kaiba has already submitted the first application to hold such a competition through the formal procedures." Then, two gold-plated characters caught Yumei's eye:

"KC Cup..."

Upon seeing this word, You Ming felt an urge to smile.

If I remember correctly, this is also an original chapter in DM, and coincidentally, it does follow the Doma chapter.

The reason for holding the event is quite simple:
"Is this a competition held for children all over the world because of the official opening of Seahorse Park?"

For some reason, when Yu Ming saw these words, he felt he could imagine the unique emphasis that belonged to the seahorse.

After all, once he was completely cleared of wrongdoing, that's exactly how his public image was portrayed.

"This competition is great."

"You think it's good too, right?"

"Correct."

"Then I approve it."

"Um……?"

At first, You Ming nodded subconsciously.

But upon closer inspection, something seems a little off?

"Lord Youming, please also review these matters..."

"No, why are you asking me these things?"

After watching as Tianma Yexing laid out a huge pile of things in front of him, Youming, finally snapping out of his daze, couldn't help but complain:
"Where is Pegasus? We've already finished fighting Doma, and he's still not here?"

"Father's words..."

Facing You Ming's questioning gaze, Tianma Yexing couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

"Father is currently on his honeymoon with Mother. He told my brother and me that if you return, you can help us make decisions."

"Spend……"

Then, the sound stopped abruptly.

Meeting the somewhat innocent gaze of Tianma Yexing, Youming felt something boiling in his mind.

“That’s… right?”

After all, Pegasus's wife was actually resurrected along with him.

"Now that he finally has some free time, it's perfectly normal for him to take a vacation with his wife, who is probably at least ten years younger than him, given his personality."

"That's right."

"And then, I'm still the representative of the International Illusion Society, and I haven't stepped down yet."

"Yes, yes."

"Haha, you think I'd say that?! I finally got back and he's already dumping all the work on me, huh? He's dreaming!"

At this point, You Ming rolled up his sleeves:
"You wait here, I'll go and bring him back."

He turned around abruptly, but before he reached the door:

"Wait, where is he now?"

"...We don't know."

"..."
