As mentioned before, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is actually full of magical colors, black technology, magic, aliens, etc., everything weird and strange things.
What is shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg of this world. The holders of the artifacts for thousands of years in the DM animation are the leaders among the dark duels, and they belong to the most powerful group of strong men. But this is by no means to say that there are only thousand-year artifacts in this world that are the source of supernatural power.
For example, Mr. T, whom You Yu met just before, the Darkness hidden behind him is a dark power with a completely different system from the Thousand-Year Artifact.
Another example is the mysterious group "Seven Stars" that appears in the chapter of the Three Magical Demons in Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Everyone in this group is a dark duelist of different origins, including elves, descendants of vampires, alchemists, and so on.
This "Nightcrawler World" that You Yu found at this moment is the place where such people gather.
To put it simply, this is the club of the Dark Duelists, a bit similar to 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's words according to the established rules, and those with high enough ability can completely become their own puppets. With this kind of power, it is easy to force people in important positions or with important values to obey, and to help people easily achieve some special purposes.
And if you want to erase someone with a dark game, you can completely drag the person into the darkness from the body to the soul, leaving no clues at all, and there is no way to find out with conventional means.
Even if some dark duels have powers like Darkness, then he can even use dark games to completely erase the existence of a person, including the memory of relatives and friends, and no one will even notice that such a person is from The world has disappeared.
Nowadays, many upper-class people who know the secrets in the world actually know the existence of dark games. The organization of the Dark Duelists has no nationality or power restrictions. If you must say, they maintain a neutral attitude and never deliberately favor which power.
They will act for any country or individual that makes the right bid, and maintain a good cooperative relationship with many countries and forces.
It feels a bit like a mercenary, but it's different.
The people outside the circle take the attitude of staying away from the dark duels, because the dark duels with extraordinary powers are mysterious and unpredictable from the perspective of ordinary people.
However, in the GX period, there seemed to be some ordinary people who used to pretend to be dark duels using some tricks such as blind hypnotism to cheat money.
Just like the uncle Titan, who was hired by GX in the early days and came to the duel academy to fight the Ten Generations of Youcheng, pretending to be a dark duel by means of light refraction and hypnosis, but in the end it was demolished by the Ten generations.
Youyu is now in an era before the opening of Yu-Gi-Oh DM's Duel City.
Before this, the unique king of the Dark Duelist's underground world was the founder of the card game "Duel Monsters", Bekas J. Crofod.
Bekas has the "Millennium Eye", one of the seven thousand-year artifacts of ancient Egypt. It has strong dark power, and is accompanied by the ability to see through the opponent's mind. "Mind Scan", there is absolutely no doubt that it is the top class in the world. The capable person.
Bekas visited Egypt to obtain a thousand-year eye, and obtained a terrifying and powerful strength. At the same time, under the guidance of the thousand-year eye, he carved the stone slabs of monsters handed down thousands of years ago into cards and invented a card game called "Duel Monsters". , And became one of the most famous upper-class people in the world.
As a game designer, he specially printed a set of invincible "cartoon decks" for himself. Coupled with the millennium-eye mind-reading ability and powerful dark power, Bekas easily ascended the throne of the underground world. For a long time, he became the only recognized king of dark duels all over the world.
During that time, Bekas’s International Vision Society consortium and its affiliated hidden forces also basically dominated the wind direction and trend of the underground world, and it was a powerful force that could secretly influence the world structure.
This pattern did not end until Bekas lost to an ordinary high school student Muto in his own duel kingdom contest.
Not only that, but after the war, Bekas didn't know who had poached his millennium eyes, and his strength plummeted, and he no longer had the domineering dominance of the heroes before. From then on, Bekas took his own forces and withdrew from the fighting in the underground world, and began to live in seclusion for the elderly.
Because of this, Muto Game, an ordinary high school student, now has a high reputation among duelists in the underground world. (Although the game is not aware of it)
Dark duelists all over the world generally believe that if this boy named Muto Game is really just an ordinary person, it should definitely be impossible to win Bekas.
In addition, the game holds the "Millennium Building Blocks" that 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 in the underground world is someone else.
That is the new group Gurus who has just joined in recently and broke a large number of unwritten rules of the underground world but has helpless strength... and the leader of the group, Malik Ishdar.
The tomb-shou clan that Malik belongs to has always been a family that all forces have been quite jealous of for many years. It can even be said that the tomb-shou clan may become the leader of the underground world at any time if they want to.
The reason is very simple, because the legendary thousand-year artifact possessing the top power of the dark game, and the most powerful card in the dueling monster world, the "Three Fantasy Gods", have been kept in the hands of the tomb guard for many years.
It’s just that the tomb-shou clan has been strictly abiding by the legacy handed down from the ancestors, and never abused the power of the Thousand-Year Sacred Tool and the Card of Illusory God.
However, Malik, the descendant of the tomb-shou clan, was clearly the first person determined to break this rule. He arbitrarily took away the Thousand-Year Artifacts and Illusory Cards that were supposed to be kept for the Pharaoh, opened up various conditions that could not be denied, recruited a large number of dark duels, and formed the rare card hunter organization "Gurus". The underground world occupies a place.
Due to the brutal and tyrannical style of Gurus, he broke many of the rules that the dark duelists had defaulted for many years. Therefore, in just a few months, many organizations have had friction with Gurus, and many people think that Malik is not. Great pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, Malik doesn’t seem to be interested in any fame, fortune or status His only purpose is to enter the battle city and take revenge on the unknown pharaoh in Muto’s game.
Therefore, most of the forces have adopted an attitude of keeping away from Gurus, allowing him to fight with the Muto game god. If the game can pull this madman off the stage, it won't be better, then the power of Gurus will naturally fall apart.
But this "Nightcrawler World" that You Yu is planning to join now is an exception.
Because it is different from others, the headquarters of "Nightcrawler World" is located in Tosino City.
The regional awareness of the Dark Duel organization is very deep, and it stands to reason that this area should belong to their territory.
The president of the organization is still a violent temper. He stubbornly thinks that "being killed by the gang of Gruss bandits and doing mischief on his own turf" is quite a shame. He made it clear that if Gurus dared to kill the whole army with a big fanfare, then they would directly declare war on the spot in Tongshiye City!
If it weren't for the fear of Malik himself, he might have really forced him to do it on his own, but the president might have taken people to the base camp of Gurus at this moment.
But thanks to the tough attitude of the chairman of the "Nightcrawler World", Malik did not move the entire Gurus to Toshino City.
After all, his goal is only Muto Game (or the Pharaoh in the game). Although he didn't pay attention to anyone other than games, he also wanted to avoid extraneous branches if possible.
This is why Malik only selected a few relatively optimistic subordinates to participate in the battle in the battle city chapter.
At this moment, what You Yu is going to do is the hidden mission of the camp type related to this——
——Join the world of Nightcrawler!
