Chapter 751: The Power of the King
Chapter 751: The Power of the King
"A God?"
Melo, who was pruning the plants, paused and slowly turned around.
"Are you sure?"
"No, we can't be certain."
The white-uniformed subordinate bowed respectfully and replied.
"But our members on Duel Academy Island did sense that terrifying power fluctuation, which felt somewhat similar to when the Phantom God appeared."
"So, no one actually saw the manifestation of the God?" Melo asked.
"Yes, it was just the aura."
"Then, have you investigated what happened? Who summoned it? And who was the duel against?"
"Our people inquired about it later, but..."
The white-uniformed Light Society member hesitated for a moment and continued with an uncertain tone.
"But the situation is strange. According to the clues we gathered, it seems that the conflict occurred on the outskirts of the Osiris Red Dormitory. The duelists were the Duel King, Fujiki Yugen, and Yucheng Jito from the Red Dormitory."
"A spar?" Melo asked, "It's a bit strange that a God Card would be summoned during a spar, but it's also possible that it was a real-life test. It's not impossible."
"No. But our people said that the power level of the duel was also off. Even before the suspected presence of the Phantom God, the duel was shrouded in powerful darkness."
"That's definitely not an ordinary level of power. It's probably a significant degree of Dark Duel."
"Dark Duel?"
Melo furrowed her brows slightly.
This was starting to sound a bit odd.
If it was just a friendly spar and a test of the God Card's practical use, was it necessary to go all out?
"Now things are starting to get a little interesting." Melo smiled.
Seeing that the member had finished reporting but was still standing behind her without leaving, Melo glanced at him.
"Is there anything else to say?"
"No, it's just..."
The Light Society member hesitated, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Ma'am, we've discovered that the Duel King seems to have already mastered even the power of the Gods. And as of now, our Light Society's operations in Duel Academy... the results have not met our expectations."
This statement was a bit of an understatement; in reality, it was a painful experience.
When the Light Society members infiltrated Duel Academy, they could say that only on the first day did they enter standing tall, but from then on, almost all of them were subjected to the torturous GX journey. Not only was their win rate abysmal, but there had also been several cases of originally steadfast Society members losing their faith and breaking free from the Society's control.
This was terrifying.
Could it be true that the students' dueling skills were so strong that they could break the unwavering faith of the Light Society members and push them towards the darkness? When this news reached the Society's headquarters, even they were shocked.
At this point, they couldn't help but suspect that within Duel Academy, led by the Duel King, there was also a very frightening dark force, and like their Society, they had the ability to infect and assimilate duelists into their ranks.
Now, Duel Academy seemed like a bottomless pit filled with terrifying darkness to the Light Society members. Any member sent there would eventually face the fate of being swallowed and assimilated by the darkness.
The only possible outcome of this development is the total annihilation and mutiny of the entire army.
"It's fine, this is good."
Melo turned around and resumed trimming his potted plant leisurely.
The Society member behind him was stunned, "But, what about the members we sent?"
"Their mission is already accomplished," Melo calmly replied.
The Society member was puzzled, "I thought their mission was to spread the teachings of light at Duel Academy."
"Yes, it would be better if they could do that naturally. But if they can't, they have another mission."
Melo turned around and said calmly.

"I've noticed it long ago. Duel King Fujiki Yugen, he possesses an incredible power. Not only does it affect him, but even those around him, those connected to him, are easily and unknowingly influenced and infected by his power.
Perhaps even he himself hasn't noticed, but this may hold the secret to his strength."
The reason he sent people to the GX Tournament was just a means of testing. However, he wanted to probe more than just Yugen's dueling abilities.
Like many villains before him, Melo also tried to investigate Yugen's past. But just as the Adjudicator, that local snake who had been entrenched for over ten thousand years, found nothing in Yugen's clean-as-paper resume, a country bumpkin from outer space like Melo naturally couldn't find anything either.
But like the Adjudicator, he also confirmed one thing.
This person is no ordinary man! Look at his background. A young man with no dueling talent, who was at the bottom of the barrel in a small Dueling Dojo on the streets, suddenly had an epiphany, rose to prominence, won the Moonlight Cup, became the emperor of Duel Academy, claimed the title of King in the world's top tournament, and saved the Lower World in the process.
In their card-dueling world, there have been similar precedents, but there are generally two most likely possibilities.
First, the boy picked up a 3,000-year-old Lego or something similar, and inside was an extremely powerful old grandpa.
Second, the boy picked up a 3,000-year-old wheel, and inside was a terrifying Dark Demon Lord who possessed him. The Demon Lord took over the boy's identity, hid among humans, gathered strength, and waited for the day to rise again and use endless darkness to devour the entire world.
In Yugen's case, Melo felt the latter possibility was more likely.
He took over the Light Society established by Sairei, with the thought of not wasting resources. In fact, this Society had little value in his eyes; they were just a bunch of pawns that could be abandoned at any time.
"Let's put the Academy matter aside for now. How's the Fantasy Society doing?" Melo asked.
The Society member hung his head, "The Fantasy Society is doing their utmost to track us down. Even Bekas J. Crovado has personally joined the pursuit. But for now, everything is going according to our plan, and they are being led to the fake clues we set up."
"Good."
Melo sat down and gave a chilling smile.
"Sairei actually planned to take over the sky and sweep away the surface life forms of this world. How naive. Military weapons have never been the answer to any problem."
"The workings of this world are hidden in the cards. The true masters of the world's core power are not nations or armies, but Kaiba Corporation and the International Fantasy Society."
"If we can control them, we will have the world's lifeline in our grasp."
