Upon hearing this, Yugen's mind started to become active.
It matched up. What these Beastmen were talking about seemed to align with the storyline he knew, so he could boldly assume that the characters mentioned in the story just now were the DM characters he was familiar with.
This "Sealing Artifact" seemed intriguing. Even if it wasn't the Millennium Puzzle, it might have some connection to the Pharaoh.
After the battle on the Dark Side of the Dimensions, the president had gone to great lengths to dig up the Millennium Puzzle from the grave, only for it to disappear again. It's foreseeable that the president must have been quite upset at the time, which led him to venture into the Netherworld and devote all his efforts to developing cutting-edge technology in various fields to try to bring back the departed.
It's safe to say that if the Pharaoh hadn't left back then, today's technological advancements might have been set back by at least thirty years.
Now with this clue, it's certain that Kaiba wouldn't miss it. All the Doma installations in the Elf Realm, the awakening of the Evil God, none of that matters anymore. Now he insists on getting his hands on this thing, which is why he came online with such a thing as the Link System.
But it seems like he might have to apologize to the president, as Yugen might be one step ahead in finding this stuff.
He remained calm, trying his best to steer the conversation with succinct language, attempting to gather information from the three Beastmen.
The three Beastmen seemed similar to the identity he was impersonating, also being special envoys. They were part of a small team and were currently waiting for their captain, who would directly come online to guide them.
Details of the operation such as time and location, as well as the objectives of this gathering, were all information only known to their superior.
"Hmm, it's quite boring just waiting around," Beastman C said in a muffled voice, shaking his head, "How about we play a game?"
Beastman C squinted.
"The usual rules, the winner gets to ask the loser any question."
Yugen's mind stirred.
The rules weren't bad; if he could win, it would be convenient for him to ask questions. It was just unclear what the game was.
However, he was confident in his current level of Destiny Power. Even if they weren't playing cards, he had confidence in anything else.
"Alright," Beastman A said, "Shall we play what we did last time?"
Yugen raised an eyebrow.
This is bad; he didn't know what those Beastmen had played last time. It seemed his undercover persona might come to an end right now...
"No, let's play something simpler this time," Beastman C muttered, contemplating, "Higher or lower."
Upon hearing this, Beastman A trembled all over, his face turning pale, and staggered back two steps: "You... how did you know my only weakness..."
Beastman B patted his shoulder: "Bro, I think he's talking about comparing card values."
"Huh?" Beastman A was taken aback.
"Yeah, I meant we each flip a card from our decks and compare the attack power of the monster. If it's not a monster, then treat it as 0," Beastman C said with a puzzled look, "What did you think I was talking about?"
"Ahh... haha... no, you misheard. As holy warriors chosen by the gods, we must be comparing monster sizes."
With that, he waved his big hand boldly.
"Let's do it, then."
Beastman B silently observed him for a moment, looking up and down, and suddenly revealed a slightly sympathetic expression.
"So that's brother's weak point. I wondered why he seemed so self-conscious each time he went to the toilet..."
"What self-conscious? Who are you calling self-conscious!?"
Beastman A was angry, saying he was about to take off his pants.
"Let's compare, see who's afraid of whom..."
"Ahem, let's leave that comparison for next time. I'm drawing a card now."
Then they saw Beastman C raise his Duel Disc, reveal the deck, draw the top card, and quickly display it.
"Humph, it's alright. 4-Star, 1900," Beastman B said confidently.
He displayed a "Blood Axe Demon" card.
Beastman A also drew a card from his deck and immediately revealed it: "Tch, Centaur, 1300 attack power... consider yourself lucky."
Beastman B similarly drew a card, frowning, "Hmph, Vampire Tree Bear, 1800, just fell short..."
"Hehe, looks like I won,"
Beastman C said with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Yugen.
"Come on, the decisive draw."
Yugen had already taken out a deck.
If he drew a card with an ill-fitting style, he might be exposed, but it wasn't much of a problem. Luckily, he had already taken the deck of that Divine Envoy, and since that deck wasn't weak, he hadn't sold it all. Now it came in handy.
He couldn't compare to high-level players like Judai in card draws, but against opponents of this level, he was quite confident. Winning against these guys shouldn't be hard.
Sure enough.
Yugen drew a card, smiled, and revealed the card he drew.
"Forest Guardian - Green Baboon, 2600 attack power." He leisurely placed the card back into the deck, "Looks like I won."
As he was pondering where to start with the questioning, he noticed the three Beastmen rise simultaneously, first looking at him in surprise for a moment, and then quickly exchanging glances.
Suddenly, the three moved simultaneously.
The Blood Axe Demon, Centaur, and Vampire Tree Bear that they drew were summoned almost at the same time, manifesting as entities, charging aggressively at Yugen.
Yugen slightly furrowed his brow.
The next moment, a white light barrier opened at his feet. A sacred, transparent magic array acted as an invisible shield that repelled the three monsters simultaneously. A silver-haired robed Mage spun out of the array, brandishing his Magic Staff, causing the three monsters to be blasted back.
Yugen leisurely stood up. The ripple of magic effects swept across his figure, dissolving the ugly, massive red image, transforming back to his original appearance.
"Spy!"
"Imposter!"
"Human Duelist!"
The three Beastmen shouted, simultaneously commanding their monsters to attack.
The Blood Axe Demon moved the fastest, bringing down the battle axe with great strength. But the Silent Magician moved gracefully, evading the attack and lightly tapping the demon's wrist with the Magic Staff.
The Blood Axe Demon wobbled and stepped back. The Silent Magician flicked the Magic Staff upwards, unleashing a white glow that formed a milky white orb, exploding in the demon's chest. The Blood Axe Demon shattered into pieces.
The Centaur and Tree Bear flanked to the left and right, trying to take advantage of their fallen comrade to directly assault the enemy commander. But Yugen stood still, not avoiding at all.
The trio couldn't even see what struck; they only vaguely sensed a dominant burst of Sword Qi. The two manifested monsters fell backward and exploded simultaneously.
The smoke cleared, and Yugen remained standing still as if nothing had happened.
"How was I exposed?" he casually asked.
The three Beastmen realized this individual wasn't ordinary; they hesitated to attack again, cautiously maintaining their distance.
"That guy is the weakest among us," Beastman C said deeply, "If it were really him, he wouldn't be able to draw the highest attack power card."
Yugen: "..."
Seriously?
So he was exposed because his card draw skills were too strong...
Alright, no matter, then plan B.
"Okay, you've caught me. Let's not drag this out anymore."
He opened the Duel Disc, sweeping his gaze over the three Beastmen.
"To save time, why don't all three of you come at once?"
