Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

"Sizzle s ...

When the videotape was inserted into the machine, the television screen first showed a burst of static, and then Pegasus's haggard face appeared on the screen.

"Long time no see, Youche Boy~" Compared to his days in Duel Kingdom, Pegasus is now less sharp and more tired. "I'll get straight to the point."

"You've probably noticed the changes happening around the world. To find out the truth behind the rampage of the Card Spirits, I've investigated many things..."

"And after that, I learned a very terrible truth!"

"I have to talk to the game about this in person, but I can't leave because I'm under surveillance right now, and it's uncertain whether this package will even be delivered."

"Since Game Boy is another shareholder of International Illusion, I have no choice but to send the package to you, who is less suspected."

"Youche Boy, if this package is successfully delivered to you, please come to the headquarters of the International Illusion Society with Game!"

"Please do it as soon as possible, you absolutely must!!"

Chapter 223 The Attack of the Doma Organization

"hateful……"

"Those nasty guys!"

In the filthy mud, a disheveled, short boy was struggling to crawl. After he finally left the muddy swamp, another boy wearing a red hat and a green jacket smiled smugly.

"I really didn't expect that~" Dinosaur Ryuzaki's expression was clearly gloating, but he still reached out to Insect Moth, trying to pull him up. "Dinosaur card Pokémon are so much easier to catch than Insect ones~"

"Two days have passed, and I've already successfully spawned three new cards!"

"Moth, you'd better work hard!"

"Baka..." The insect moth, its face flushed with anger, slapped the dinosaur Ryuzaki's hand away. Then, while wiping its dirty glasses with the inside of its clothes, it gritted its teeth and said, "What's so great about it? Dinosaur card spirits are all so big!"

"But you can hardly even find any insect-themed card sprites!"

"You're just lucky!"

Ryuzaki the Dinosaur chuckled and said, "Don't rush, maybe we just haven't found the right place yet. Perhaps we can find the right Pokémon somewhere else?"

The insect moth didn't speak, but just panted heavily. He put his glasses back on and looked angrily at the swamp he had just crawled over.

After two days, You Che and his gang had disappeared without a trace.

Not to mention that he and the dinosaur Ryuzaki have no chance to fight them again, even if he were to fight Yuzuriha now, without the help of Pokémon, his chances of winning would be less than 30%.

Watching the dinosaur Ryuzaki and his ugly dinosaur spirit laughing and joking, the insect moth couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.

Just as he was about to leave angrily to go back to take a shower, a soft voice drifted over from somewhere, sounding both like a lively and lovely young girl, yet also possessing the politeness and reserve of an aristocrat.

"Are you... looking for card spirits?"

The sudden sound surprised both the insect moth and the dinosaur Ryuzaki. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a palm-sized, silver-white butterfly fairy appear out of thin air from among the trees. She fluttered her wings and hovered in mid-air, cautiously and warily observing the two of them.

The dinosaur Ryuzaki wisely remained silent, which was clearly the opportunity that the insect moth had been searching for.

After two days of investigation, they discovered that most of the card sprites do not use human language, and the ways in which different sprites communicate are also very different.

When Ryuzaki the Dinosaur captured his own dinosaur spirit, their communication style was more like that of a dog trainer and a vicious dog.

At this moment, this insect fairy dressed in a princess-like gauze dress was able to speak, clearly indicating that she was much stronger than ordinary fairies.

"Yes, yes!" The insect moth was overjoyed and rushed over without even wiping the mud off its body.

The insect fairy was startled and quickly went invisible again.

Seeing that the fairy he had finally found had vanished into thin air, the insect moth was very annoyed, but he was never one to act on emotion. Full of wicked ideas, he quickly came up with a solution.

"Boom..."

As if struck by some blow, the insect moth's knees buckled and it knelt directly in the mud, then began to wail loudly as if possessed by a dramatic spirit:

"Why?! Why!!"

"Am I destined to never have a card spirit friend?"

"Everyone else gets to have a spirit companion, even that wretched enemy..."

"All I wanted was for the elves to help me get back everything I had lost!"

"But why have I given so much and still got no results?!"

Looking at the pretentious insects and moths in front of him, the dinosaur Ryuzaki stared wide-eyed in surprise. The dinosaur spirit beside him seemed to be annoyed and began to wag its tail restlessly.

Soon, the butterfly fairy reappeared and flew compassionately to the insect moth, gently wiping away its tears with its arm, which was not even as thick as a human's little finger.

"You mean, you were bullied by someone using card spirits?" the butterfly fairy asked cautiously.

The insect-moth was secretly overjoyed, but still feigned a sobbing expression: "Yes, yes... that guy's name is Youche!"

"He's one of the few guys who could see the card sprites from the very beginning!"

"With the help of a dragon elf, he cruelly defeated us, causing us great humiliation and taking away our most precious cards!"

“Clearly… that card was a keepsake from my deceased mother…”

After saying this, the insect moth lay on the ground again and cried loudly.

Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, twitched his lips, forcing himself not to expose him, only thinking to himself, "You're something else... You even know that someone like you doesn't have a mother..."

After hearing the insect and moth's story, the butterfly fairy waved sympathetically, washed away the filth from his body with magical phosphorescent powder, and then whispered:

"Perhaps...we can help each other..."

"I'll help you retrieve your mother's last possessions, and in return, you'll deliver something very important to me..."

"But I am an insect-type spirit, I don't know if I can provide power to your deck..."

The insect moth was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Really?! I am the duelist who uses the Insect Deck! It was in search of an Insect Spirit that I came all this way!"

Surprised and delighted, the insect-moth quickly suppressed its excitement and asked in a friendly manner, "What is your name? What do you need me to do?"

The butterfly fairy smiled gently and answered somewhat timidly, "I am the insect princess—Shiraki."

“Since this incident, our insect elf clan has also been transported to this world…” Insect Princess Xiliqi explained slowly, “It seems that we have been disturbed by some kind of energy. Our insect queen has mutated and has even begun to ferociously devour her own kind!”

"Although insects have a long tradition of self-sacrifice, the mutated queen no longer devours for the energy she needs; she has begun a brutal massacre..."

"Now, there is only one way to save the Insect Queen, and that is to use our clan's sacred artifact—the Super Evolution Cocoon—to purify the Queen..."

“I know this is extremely dangerous, so, duelist, I understand your concerns and worries…”

As she spoke, Xiliqi flipped her wrist, and a golden light shone from her palm, growing larger and larger as it floated upwards, eventually transforming into a magnificent cocoon.

Then, under the influence of the spirit's power, the cocoon of super evolution finally transformed into a quick-play spell card that faintly emitted a golden light.

【The Cocoon of Super Evolution】

Quick-Play Spell Card

[Effect 1: Tribute 1 Insect-Type monster on your or your opponent's field that is equipped with an Equip Card; Special Summon 1 Insect-Type monster from your Deck, ignoring the conditions.]

[Effect 2: During your Main Phase, banish this card from your Graveyard from the Duel, return 1 Insect-Type monster from your Graveyard to your Deck, then draw 1 card from your Deck.]

"What?! Special Summoned from the deck without any conditions?!" Insect Moth was greatly shocked; he had never seen such a powerful insect magic card before.

He carefully took the Holy Card of the Insect Fairy, then excitedly took out a Monster Card from the Duel Disk—Insect Queen—and asked Insect Princess Hilchi, "Is this what your Insect Queen looks like?"

Hilary nodded, tears welling in her eyes: "The Queen looked like this before she mutated..."

Upon hearing this, the insect-moth confidently declared, "Don't worry! No matter how dangerous it is, I will definitely help you!"

"I am a top-tier duelist, and you are the princess of the insect race!"

"If the two of us join forces, we can definitely defeat that bastard You Che and rescue your queen!"

"Yes!" Xiliqi wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously again.

Just then, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur standing nearby, suddenly exclaimed into his phone, "Look! Yuga! It looks like a message from Yuzuru and the others!!"

The insect moth and his new sprite quickly went over, only to see a news report playing on the phone about a plane crash that had occurred dozens of kilometers away from the International Vision Agency.

The report claims that Yugi Muto, the Duel King and runner-up of the Duel City tournament, along with his companions, were invited by Pegasus to the headquarters of the International Illusion Society. However, just before their arrival, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown force, causing their plane to crash. Fortunately, KC Group's military radar detected the attack in time, and with the personal rescue by KC Group's president, Seto Kaiba, Yugi and the others escaped safely. Authorities are currently conducting further investigations into the incident…

"With the situation so chaotic right now, what are these people doing over there?" said Dinosaur Ryuzaki, bewildered.

Just then, looking at the world map in the news, Insect Princess Hiliki couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, it's that place!"

"What's wrong? Where are we?" the insect moth asked, puzzled.

Princess Hiliki, the Insect Fairy, pointed to another location on the map and said, "The Insect Fairy race can perceive the world and other insects through special magic. I'm certain that the mutated Insect Queen is in that area!"

"But it's just too far away, and I don't have the strength to cross the ocean."

"That's why... I've been waiting for a duelist to appear..."

"Hahaha!" The insect-moth patted its chest and laughed, "Don't worry! Leave this to me!"

Dinosaur Ryuzaki rubbed his hands together expectantly: "Hehe! This is perfect, killing two birds with one stone! Not only can we complete the Pokémon's mission, but we can also get revenge on that guy, Yuzuru!!"

The two clowns looked at each other and burst into laughter.

As dusk approached, the two, each with their own spirit, embarked on a hunting journey.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away, You Che and his team, who were forced to temporarily hide in the KC Group, were making their next plans with grim expressions.

"What?!" Jonouchi looked at Seto Kaiba, who strode out of the room, in disbelief. "After something like this happened, how can you still be interested in stocks?"

“It’s not as simple as you think!” Kaiba Keihei defended his brother. “These days, KC Group has a powerful competitor named Doma. They are acquiring KC Group’s stock in a very terrifying way and trying to take control of the company!”

"Of course my brother wants to work with you to resolve this crisis, but if we don't stop Doma and his gang, KC Company will fall into enemy hands!"

"If the KC Group's military power is used by the enemy to destroy the world, then everything will be over!"

After hearing this explanation, everyone finally understood why Seto Kaiba couldn't get away from his work.

"What do we do now?" Kyoko asked worriedly. "The Doma Organization has discovered our movements and will definitely not let us get close to the International Illusion Society easily!"

You Che picked up the card sent by Pegasus on the table and said, "Even so, we must find a way to get there. Pegasus must have the key to defeating the Doma organization, otherwise those people wouldn't be so ruthless!"

“Yes.” Wang Yang put on his coat, not intending to linger in this place any longer. The Doma Organization knew that everyone was here and would definitely send someone over again. “Guiping, thank you very much for this matter. Now we must set off as soon as possible.”

Kaiba Keihei gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then you must... Ah!"

"Splash splash ...

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of shattering glass rang out from all directions. Countless mysterious figures dressed in black bodysuits burst through the windows. Just as Kaiba Keihei was about to call for backup, his phone was shattered by a gunshot.
