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

"Based on your own karma effect, you will take damage equal to 500 times the number of monsters on your field. If you have five monsters on your field, you will take 2500 damage!"

Blue: 2000-0

"You're all alone here?" Blue became completely stunned, and a spot of light appeared above Blue's head. At this moment, Malik was talking to him.

"Zok, get out there and get to work!" Li Youming shouted in his heart.

"Understood!" Zorc's voice rang out. A flash of light, and Li Youming was replaced by Zorc.

“I believe you will come looking for me, so I am waiting for you here.” Zorc sat down cross-legged as if he were relaxed.

"Oh, why would I come to you?" Malik asked with interest, needing Zork to say something that would move him.

“Then you need to tell me what your purpose is first.” Zorc was in no hurry to answer Malik’s question, trying to regain control of the conversation.

"I want to kill the Pharaoh and become the Pharaoh myself! To end the mission of the Tomb Keepers!" Malik threw out his idea, wanting to see what Zorc would say. After all, he didn't really know what Zorc was thinking.

“I can help you take him down.” Zorc nodded. “Our goals are basically the same. I need the Millennium Item, so I need to take him down. If you want to take him down, you have to fight his Millennium Item.”

“That makes sense.” Malik seemed to understand what Zorc was trying to say.

“I’ll help you take him down, and after it’s done, you’ll give me your Millennium Staff.” Zorc directly offered his terms.

“No problem. I will arrive in Japan in a day. I need your help to get close to the Pharaoh and his people after I arrive.”

"Add a condition, Zorc, have him bring over four extra map cards from his subordinates so we can advance directly," Li Youming's spirit shouted from the side.

“Understood.” Zorc replied to Li Youming and then looked at “Malik”: “Then bring me enough map fragments so I can advance, after all, I need to help you in the finals.”

"Deal." Malik agreed and immediately hung up the call, giving Li Youming and the other person no time to react.

"You dare to make demands of me? Humph!" Malik said fiercely on the deck, "Once I've killed the Pharaoh and gotten the Millennium Puzzle, do you think I'll still give you the Millennium Staff? They're all mine!"

“It’s done. I’ve completely fooled him,” Zorc said confidently.

"Come on, he's trying to double-cross us too. Your vigilance is questionable, and you call yourself an evil god." Li Youming didn't forget to mock Zorc after switching back to his body.

“You…” Zorc recalled that the other party must have had his reasons for agreeing so quickly, so he didn’t say anything more.

A short while later, another Kurus member dressed in black handed four map cards to Li Youming. Li Youming nodded, turned around, and left to find a place to have a drink and rest for a while.

"The game should be looking for the God Cards by now," Li Youming muttered to himself, looking at the three evil gods in his hand. "I'll give you a little surprise later."

At this moment, in the monitoring room of Haima Automobile.

"Brother, we've detected a lot of cards that aren't recorded in use. They're probably fake cards." Kaiba Keihei was reporting the data from various duels to Kaiba Seto.

"Any abnormal data?" Seto Kaiba asked without looking down, his eyes constantly fixed on the big screen.

"There were two, both of whom failed using fake cards." After careful investigation, Kaiba Keihei continued, "Both of these matches involved Bakura dueling against players using fake cards!"

"Let's see it fall out!" Seto Kaiba said without hesitation.

"Yes!" Kaiba Keihei controlled the computer to release the first duel. Kaiba Seto saw the phantom summoning god Exodia, whose abilities were practically bug-like.

"It's only been a few days, and Bakura already has a new ace monster? This is really troublesome," Seto Kaiba remarked. "But I already have Obelisk the Tormentor, so I won't be afraid of your little Exodia."

The second match followed immediately, where Li Youming encountered a player using a fake Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Damn it! How dare they copy my Blue-Eyes White Dragon! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon can only belong to me!"

Seto Kaiba became even angrier when he saw Li Youming defeat him using the same tactics: "You actually lost to Bakura so easily, you're a disgrace to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Bakura, you despicable bastard, daring to call yourself a demon king! Let me use my noble divine power to beat you to a pulp!" Seto Kaiba thought angrily.

Meanwhile, as the story unfolds, after leaving Isis's museum and learning more about the God Cards and memories, the player encounters Pandora, who also uses dark magic. The two engage in a fierce battle to become the strongest dark magician.

Although Pandora has many cards suitable for the Dark Magician, Yami Yugi, having been tempered by the Duel Kingdom, possesses dueling skills far beyond Pandora's reach, and was defeated in just a few rounds.

As a result, the deck received a major boost, giving him even more confidence in his battles against Li Youming.

Jonouchi also encountered his first opponent, the psychic Ryouba. Ryouba used his superpowers to know his opponents' hands, defeating many, including even the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

However, Jonouchi doesn't care about knowing his hand. Having experienced the perfume tactics of Mai the Peacock in Duel Kingdom and seen the game where Pegasus doesn't care about the opponent, Jonouchi's fear of knowing his hand is zero.

"What good is knowing? The key is being able to solve it. If I know your hand, but I can't solve it, then there's still nothing I can do." Recalling Li Youming's words, Jonouchi's confidence also increased.

Because of Li Youming's presence, Jonouchi had more powerful monsters at his disposal. The android Soga was directly killed by Jonouchi's Hegemon-Idaten, thus winning the match.

Shortly after, Jonouchi's sister completed her surgery and needed someone to accompany her. Honda went to pick up Jonouchi's sister, which immediately made Jonouchi wary of him. At this point, Jonouchi was left alone.

Jonouchi was caught off guard and was ambushed by someone hired by Insect Moth, forcing a duel into the air. However, Insect Moth proved to be utterly incompetent, losing to Jonouchi, an insect queen.

Jonouchi looked at the Insect Queen with a hint of disdain. Although he obtained her, he didn't add her to his deck.

"The game should be meeting the doll soon. I should go find Jonouchi, lest he get ambushed." Li Youming finished his Americano in one gulp, got up and left the beverage shop, heading towards Ocean Park.

Yami Yugi, who had defeated Pandora, arrived at the riverbank in the park and saw the puppet controlled by Malik.

"Pharaoh, accept my challenge! Tremble before my God Cards!"

"I couldn't ask for more, Malik!" Yami Yugi opened his Duel Disk.

"Duel!" "Duel!"
