The card player needs to win easily

The Siren did not leave, but stood there waiting.

After a while, a man with long silver-white hair walked out from the darkness.

"Siren Girl, you seem to have known that I was watching this place for a long time."

"But the championship match is tomorrow. If you don't reply, you might not perform well, okay?"

Bekas said to Siren with a smile.

"It's the afternoon game anyway, so it's okay to sleep a little longer. Mr. Beckas won't force the poor girl to get up with dark circles under her eyes, right?"

"Of course not—I still hope that all duelists can display their full strength~"

This time, Bekas did not interfere with the game at all.

However, he was relieved when he saw the match between Liva and Siren.

Siren's dueling ability is very strong, from which it can be inferred that Liva, who is beside her and can defeat Kaiba Seto, is also at the same level.

Being able to eliminate one of them in the first game greatly reduces the pressure you face.

Although he would still have to face the strongest opponent at that time, the stronger the opponent, the higher the chance of achieving his plan, and the risks he would have to bear would offset each other.

"So, if you really met your 'Cynthia', what would you do?"

Siren suddenly asked.

Bekas was startled, but quickly recovered.

"You even know Cynthia's name... Honestly, in front of Siren Girl, it seems like you've become the one who can read minds."

There is no need to ask how we know this. For those who wield dark power, no matter how unreasonable the events are, they are all normal.

Just like when Bekas had just obtained the Millennium Eye, no one could understand what he had done.

"So, can you think about what you would do if you met Cynthia through holographic technology?"

"If I see Cynthia again..."

Beckas couldn't help but think about what would happen if he met his beloved again?

The projectors produced by Haima Corporation are truly lifelike. However, such realistic images lack soul.

If Bekas saw the projection of his lover, he would be happy and shed tears - but he would definitely not be satisfied in the end.

(If she doesn't have a soul, how can she be called Cynthia!)

Beckas could almost imagine himself being completely successful and carrying out all his plans.

"I won't be satisfied, but what does it matter?"

Moreover, not only does he think so, he is absolutely capable of doing so.

"What's next?"

"The next step, of course, is to find her soul, and then—"

Beckas paused.

Then?

Then he would find a useful body, put Cynthia in it, and completely revive his beloved.

Then, he will be blinded by the desire of the "omnipotent" power, and no matter what happens in the end, it is beyond the imagination of the current Beckas.

Bekas, who already possesses the Millennium Eye, has already felt this desire - whether it is deliberately showing off his abilities or publicly inviting various duelists to duel with him, it is all a manifestation of this desire.

Bekas raised his hand tremblingly, wanting to place it on his Millennium Eye - but instead he touched a card that had been placed on his fingertips at some point.

"Pot of Desire and Greed", a card designed by myself, symbolizes desire and destruction.

Siren lowered her hand from the black screen, and the number of cards displayed on the main deck changed to 59.

Bekas thought of that night in Egypt.

Endless pain, blurred consciousness, and those blue, lifeless eyes full of malice towards herself.

I have to go through so much pain to see my lover.

But the Egyptian with blue eyes said that he was "the one chosen by the thousand-year-old artifact."

So the fate of everyone else who was given this thing was the same without exception.

So many people died simply by coming into contact with this world - what about now?

The only victims of his plan so far are Seto Kaiba and the person who will become the Kingdom Champion, but what will happen if he continues?

"…and then anything will happen."

There is no doubt that Beckas is a selfish person, but even he understands what the consequences will be if he continues like this.

"So, do you want to continue?"

"..."

"……Do not."

After returning the "Pot of Greed and Desire" in his hand to the Siren, Pegasus spoke again.

"I'm not going to stop - it's all been about this since the day I lost her."

"Just like the Pot of Greed, Duelists will choose this card even if the cost is high."

"I'll see her one more time, and after that, I'll stop."

Beckas wiped his forehead soaked with cold sweat, turned and left through the door.

A few words wouldn't change Bekas's mind—but it didn't matter! Siren had achieved her goal!

She was already halfway through her plan!

The satisfied Siren also turned and left.

--------------------------------

"Good morning, Liva-san!"

Feeling refreshed, Jonouchi greeted Liva as she walked out of the room.

Liva nodded and greeted back.

"Didn't Siren come out with you today?"

Yugi asked, a little confused.

"No, she seems to be sleep deprived and is fast asleep in her room."

Honda Hiroto and Masaki Anko looked at each other guiltily, then yawned together.

Yesterday, the three of them searched the rooftop for a long time but didn't find anything relevant. Instead, they saw a huge portrait of a blonde woman they didn't recognize.

"In that case, how about we go have breakfast together?"

Tapir suggested.

Liva nodded.

Judging from Siren's appearance, it seems that there is really no way to get her to get up and make breakfast.

Mo Liangliao walked at the end of everyone, showing a strange look in a place where no one noticed.

He stared in the direction of the room where Beckas lived with a wicked smile.

(Since there aren't any modern tools, it's obvious what methods Bekas is using!)

Thinking back to the other eye that Bekas always covered, An Moliang almost laughed out loud.

(Millennium Eye—I said there was nothing wrong with the other direction pointed by the Millennium Wheel!)

An Moliang, feeling ecstatic, followed everyone into the cafeteria.

--------------------------------

The time came in the afternoon.

"yawn."

The sleepy Siren walked out of the room.

"You haven't eaten for two meals—aren't you hungry?"

Liva stood at the door waiting for Siren.

I don't know how many times I called her, but she only got up now.

"It's okay, I'll make up for it all with dinner later."

After stretching and washing up, Siren and Liva walked towards the duel hall.

Yugi Muto, Katsuya Jonouchi, Mai Kongque, and Thief Keith are already waiting here.

"All the contestants are here—the game, the moment to decide the winner has finally arrived."

Peacock Dance put one hand on her waist. It can be seen that she was very well prepared this time, and even confidence was overflowing on her face.

"let's work hard together."

Yugi Muto—now Yami Yugi—responded calmly.

The thief Keith glanced at the optimistic Jonouchi.

Feeling a little nervous about being stared at, Jonouchi turned around and found that it was the thief Keith who was looking at him.

"Thief Keith, I will definitely win!"

(This kid, hasn't realized that I've taken his competition card away yet?)

Thief Keith sneered.

"Then thank you for coming all the way here to give me the victory."

Just as Jonouchi was about to fight back, a radio sounded in the distance.

"Please all contestants enter the duel hall."

"Then let's duel!"

After saying this, Jonouchi was the first to walk out of the gate.

The others followed Jonouchi into the hall.

"Dear duelists, welcome to this dueling arena!"

Bekas welcomed everyone between the two men in black.

"Today, the Duel Kingdom finals will begin here!"

"The winner will not only receive a large prize, but also the right to challenge me!"

The screen above Bekas's head projected the portraits of Yugi and Peacock Dance.

"Then the first duel will be between these two!"

"Bekas! What can I get if I defeat you?"

Honda, who was standing on top, asked Bekas loudly after the opening remarks.

"Oh! That's the key point—the winning duelist will receive the highest honor, the title of 'Duel King,' symbolizing the strongest duelist!"

Isn't that just empty talk?

Liva and Siren complained in their hearts at the same time.

"The strongest..."

"Duelist?"

However, it was clear that the title was attractive to others present.

"Yes, I believe that for You, this kind of honor is more important than the bonus."

What Bekas said was right, even Cheng Nei was a little moved.

"Then let's get started!"

"Please invite both parties of this duel to come on stage!"

PS: I was going to ask for leave yesterday, but I forgot to send out the application. Today I saw that it is still in the draft.
