Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting as a Rabbit-Eared Demon King

A surge of earthbound spirits rippled outwards, attaching themselves to the Star Hunter and gradually devouring him.

"Experience the feeling of death that the Dark Game brings you." Li Youming looked at the other person expressionlessly. This was the first time he had killed someone using the Dark Game. Although it wasn't very bloody, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

"He tried to kill me first..." Li Youming comforted himself, and from this moment on, his mindset began to change.

In no time, the Star Hunter was completely devoured, leaving only his gloves and a dozen or so stars.

“I definitely have enough stars.” Li Youming stepped down from the dueling platform with the stars in his hand, and the crowd immediately surrounded him.

"Are you alright, Bakura?" Jonouchi asked with concern. "I was worried when he sprayed you with his flamethrower, but then a black membrane enveloped you both. If it weren't for the game, we wouldn't even know what happened inside."

Just now, Yugi had been using the power of the Millennium Puzzle to observe the Dark Game inside and explain the duel to everyone.

The only thing they didn't tell everyone was how the Star Hunter died in the end.

Li Youming glanced at the game, reassured everyone, and they no longer suspected anything. After the scene of returning the dancing stars to the peacock was performed, and nothing else happened, everyone went to rest.

"Name." After everyone had fallen asleep, a questioning voice rang in Li Youming's ears. Li Youming knew it was his cousin.

"Li Youming." Li Youming sat up and looked at Xiao Biao solemnly. He knew why Xiao Biao had come to find him.

“I can accept you starting the Dark Game…” Xiao Biao tried to find the right words, wanting to have a proper talk with Li Youming: “After all, I’ve used the other one too. But I just feel that his way of dying was too…”

“Too cruel, isn’t it…” Li Youming noticed Xiao Biao’s embarrassment and continued, “I admit it’s a bit cruel. But I’m not like your Millennium Puzzle, which has the power to impact the mind.”

“My Millennium Wisdom Wheel is more like an instrument that is good at manipulating evil spirits.” Li Youming touched his Millennium Wisdom Wheel: “So this is the only way I can start the Dark Game. I have no other means.”

"Is that so..." Xiao Biao's gentle side was revealed. He knew that Li Youming did not want this; that person wanted to kill him and could not stop him from resisting.

"I'll try to use it less in the future." Li Youming looked at his cousin gently, "I'll need your help more often in the future if something like this happens."

"Okay!" Xiao Biao was very happy to hear Li Youming's concession and agreed.

A rumbling sound of propellers shattered everyone's sleepiness, followed by a bright spotlight shining on their faces.

The helicopter landed, and a handsome man with a tall, straight figure and a resolute face stepped out. It was Seto Kaiba, whom I hadn't seen much of at school in the game, and who had disappeared after I defeated him.

"Kaiba-kun, you're here. This is your deck." With that, Xiao Mei handed Seto Kaiba's deck to him.

Seto Kaiba looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his deck, and even the proud Seto had to thank his cousin.

“Let us help you rescue Kaiba Keihei,” Jonouchi said, jumping out first to greet Kaiba Seto.

However, Seto Kaiba ignored him: "I can save my brother by myself, I don't need your help!"

“Then you’d better take this with you.” With that, Li Youming handed Seto Kaiba a glove filled with stars: “There’s a competition on the island right now, and Pegasus has a reason not to let you into the castle. This will make things easier.”

"I don't need your help!" Seto Kaiba said with a hint of appreciation, but then, somewhat annoyed, he brushed Li Youming's hand away.

What I admire is Li Youming's statement, "The strong one isn't Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it's Seto Kaiba." What I'm angry about is Li Youming's casual manipulation of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Let's duel!" Li Youming said helplessly. "If you win, you can do whatever you want. If you lose, take these gloves and leave!"

"I happen to have some things that you guys need to test! I promise you!" Seto Kaiba opened his metal box and tossed a frisbee to Li Youming.

"This is the Duel Disk!" Seto Kaiba gave a brief explanation of how to use it, then gestured at Li Youming and said, "Come on, let me see what you're made of."

"Duel!" "Duel!"

"My turn, draw!" Seto Kaiba seized the initiative: "I summon Dark Path Master - Zaki (600/1500/) in Attack Position! And set one card face down. End of turn!"

"Is that your signature tactic again? My turn, draw!" Just as Li Youming drew his card, Seto Kaiba interrupted him: "I activate my trap card, Death Deck - Destruction Virus!"

As Seto Kaiba flipped the card over, he continued to explain, "During the activation of this card, all monsters with 1500 or more ATK in your hand and on the field are sent to the Graveyard. For three turns, any monsters you draw with 1500 or more ATK are also sent to the Graveyard!"

Li Youming revealed his hand, which included a bunch of magic and trap cards, as well as a Golden Lord - Golden Kingdom Lich.

"Let's send that Golden Kingdom lich to the graveyard!" Seto Kaiba said excitedly, and Li Youming obediently sent the Golden Kingdom lich to the graveyard.

"It doesn't really matter much," Li Youming shrugged indifferently. "I set three cards face down, activate the Spell Card, Whitewashed Destiny: Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality! Summon the Golden Kingdom Lich (2500/3000) from my Graveyard to the field in Defense Position. End of turn."

"That's great! Now we don't have to worry about his Death Deck destroying the virus!" Jonouchi cheered as he watched Li Youming handle the situation with ease.

“Hmm, Bakura-kun is very skilled at manipulating the monsters in the graveyard.” Yami Yugi also awoke from the Millennium Puzzle at this moment and watched the duel.

"Hmph, I admit you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but it'll all be over soon." Seto Kaiba drew a card, retrieved the frisbee, and slammed it onto the card: "I summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) in Attack Position!"

A pristine white dragon flew out of the frisbee and stood opposite Li Youming. Although it bared its teeth, it didn't seem to be very hostile.

"Activate Trap Card, Conqueror of the Golden Land! Transform a Trap Card into a Level 5 LIGHT Zombie Monster with 500 ATK and 1800 DEF and place it on the field. While the Golden Lord - The Lich King is on the field, you can target and destroy one card on your opponent's field! I'm destroying Blue-Eyes White Dragon, of course!"

As Li Youming spoke, a zombie cavalryman riding an immortal horse appeared beside the Golden Kingdom lich, and a burst of energy shot out, directly destroying the Blue-Eyed White Dragon.

"You bastard, you're fooling the Blue-Eyes White Dragon again!" Seto Kaiba retrieved his frisbee: "My turn is over!"

"My turn! My turn! Draw a card!"
