As I mentioned before, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is actually full of magic, black technology, magic, aliens, etc., all kinds of strange things.
What is shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg of this world. The holders of several thousand-year-old artifacts in the DM animation are the leaders of the dark duelists, belonging to the most powerful group of powerhouses. But this is by no means to say that only the Millennium Artifact is the source of supernatural power in this world.
For example, Mr. T, whom You Yu met before, the Darkness hidden behind him is a dark force with a completely different system from the Millennium Artifact.
Another example is the mysterious group "Seven Stars" that appeared in the chapter of the Three Magical Demons in Yu-Gi-Oh! Everyone in the group is a dark duelist of different origins, including elves, vampire descendants, alchemists, and more.
The "Nightcrawler World" that You Yu found at the moment is the place where such people gather.
To put it simply, this is the club of the Dark Duelists, a bit like the Killer League.
Members here sometimes accept some commissions through the club as a platform to complete some gray tasks.
The loser in the dark game must obey the winner according to the established rules, and those with high enough abilities can completely turn the loser into his own puppet. With this kind of power, it is easy to force obedience to people in positions of importance or of great value, and to help people easily achieve some special purpose.
And if you want to erase someone with a dark game, you can completely drag the person from body to soul into darkness, leaving no clues at all, and there is no way to find out with conventional means.
Even if some dark duelists have the power like Darkness, then he can even completely erase the existence of a certain person, including the memory of relatives and friends, through the dark game, and no one will even notice that such a person has The world disappeared.
Many high-ranking people in the world who know secrets actually know the existence of dark games. The organization of the Dark Duelists has no nationality or power restrictions. If they must say something, they maintain a nearly neutral attitude and never deliberately favor which side of the force.
They will take action for any country or individual who bids the right price, and maintain good cooperative relations with many countries and forces.
It feels a little bit like a mercenary, but different.
People outside the circle take a respectful attitude towards the dark duelists, because the dark duelists with extraordinary power are mysterious and unpredictable from the perspective of ordinary people.
However, in the GX period, there seemed to be some ordinary people who used some tricks such as blindfolding and hypnotism to pretend to be dark duelists to cheat money.
Just like the uncle Titan who was hired by GX to duel with Yucheng Judai in the early stage of the duel academy, he pretended to be a dark duel by means of light refraction and hypnosis, but he was finally dismantled by Judai.
Yu Yu is now in an era before the opening of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM's Duel City Chapter.
Before that, the unique king of the underground world of the Dark Duelists was the founder of the card game "Dueling Monsters", Bekas J. Crawford.
Bekas has the "Millennium Eye", one of the seven thousand-year-old artifacts in ancient Egypt, has a very strong dark power, and has the ability to see through the other party's mind "mind scan", there is absolutely no doubt that he is the top grade in the current world. capable person.
Bekas visited Egypt to obtain the Millennium Eye, and gained a powerful and terrifying power. At the same time, under the guidance of the Millennium Eye, he carved the stone slabs of monsters handed down thousands of years ago into cards, and invented a card game called "Dueling Monsters". , which swept the world and became one of the most well-known high-class people in the world.
As a game designer, he specially printed a set of invincible "cartoon card sets" for himself. With the mind-reading ability of the Millennium Eye and the powerful dark power, Bekas easily ascended the throne of the king of the underground world. For a long time, he has become the only recognized king of dark duelists all over the world.
During that time, the International Illusion Society Consortium of Rebekas and its affiliated hidden forces also basically dominated the direction and trend of the underground world, and they were powerful forces enough to secretly influence the world pattern.
This pattern didn't end until Bekas lost to an ordinary high school student Muto in his own duel kingdom competition.
Not only that, but after the battle, Bekas was even poached by someone who stole his thousand-year-old eye. Since then, Bekas has withdrawn from the battle in the underground world with his own forces and began to live a life of seclusion and retirement.
Because of this, Muto Games, an ordinary high school student, now has a high reputation among duelists in the underground world. (Although the game itself does not know about it)
Dark duelists all over the world generally believed that if this boy named Muto Game was really just an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to win Bekas.
In addition, the game holds the "Millennium Building Blocks", which are said to have the highest status among the Millennium Artifacts, so many people believe that the game should be the most powerful dark duelist in the world today.
But there are also quite a few people who believe that the real strongest person in the underground world is someone else.
That is the new group Gurus, who has only recently joined, and has broken many unwritten rules of the underground world, but has helpless strength... and the leader of the group, Malik Ishdar.
Malik's family of tomb guards has always been a family that all parties have been quite afraid of for many years. It can even be said that if they want to, the tomb guards may become the leaders of the underground world at any time.
The reason is very simple, because the legendary Millennium Artifact with the top power of the dark game, and the most powerful card "Three Illusionary Gods" in the duel monster world, have been kept in the hands of the tomb guards for many years.
It's just said that the tomb guards have always strictly followed the legacy handed down from their ancestors and never abused the power of the Millennium Artifact and the Magical God Card.
However, Malik, the descendant of the generation of the tomb guards, was obviously the first one determined to break this rule. He took away the Millennium Artifacts and Illusory God cards that were supposed to be kept for the Pharaoh without authorization, and offered various conditions that could not be refused to recruit a large number of dark duelists, and formed the rare card hunter organization "Gurus", which quickly The underworld takes its place.
Due to Gurus's tyrannical and savage style, which has broken many of the rules that the Dark Duelists have defaulted to over the years, many organizations have had friction with Gurus in just a few months. Great to the eye.
Fortunately, Malik doesn't seem to be interested in any fame and fortune. His only purpose is to enter the battle city and take revenge on the nameless Pharaoh in the game of Muto.
Therefore, most forces have adopted a respectful attitude towards Gurus, allowing him to fight with the gods of the game of Muto. It would be great if the game could pull this lunatic out of the stage, and Gurus' power would naturally collapse as well.
However, this "night traveler world" that You Yu is now planning to join is an exception.
Because unlike others, the headquarters of "Nightcrawler World" is located in Doshino City.
The Dark Duelist Organization has a deep regional awareness, and it stands to reason that this area should belong to their territory.
The president of the organization is still a violent person, and he stubbornly believes that it is quite shameful to be "killed by the gang of robbers of Gurus on his own territory". He made it clear that if Gurus dared to kill the entire army with great fanfare, then they would declare war on the spot at Tongshiye Market!
If it weren't for the fear of Malik himself, he might have been so powerful that he could not do it, the president might have already brought someone to the base camp of Gurus.
However, thanks to the tough attitude of the president of "Nightcrawler World", Malik did not move the entire Gurus to Doshino City.
After all, his goal is just the Muto game (or the Pharaoh inside the game). Although he doesn't care about people other than games, he also wants to avoid extraneous issues if possible.
This is why Malik only selected a few relatively optimistic subordinates to participate in the battle in the Battle City chapter.
And at this moment, what You Yu is going to do is the hidden quest of the camp category related to this—
—Join the Nightcrawler World!
