Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 724

Chương 724: Chapter 724: I'm Taking This Card

"President Pegasus, long time no see."

Chancellor Sheppard warmly invited Industrial Illusions' President Pegasus to sit.

Pegasus took a sip of hot tea and looked up. "How's the GX tournament? Going smoothly?"

For some reason, the moment he was asked this, scenes flashed through Sheppard's mind of the outside invitees getting crushed by the Academy's elite students until they questioned their card-life.

"Uh… going smoothly? Maybe. Probably."

But he knew that wasn't Pegasus's real concern, so he quickly shifted.

"As for the card you mentioned—'Ultimate D'—no leads yet."

"I see. A shame. I'd hoped the GX tournament might lure out the card's holder…"

Pegasus leaned back, crossed his legs, and sipped tea again.

"But I still don't quite understand—is what you said true? That Aster's father's murder is connected to some extraordinary crisis?"

Sheppard asked.

"It's related to the last card Aster's father designed, yes?"

Pegasus nodded. "To integrate humanity's cutting-edge intellect into card design, our company collaborates with scientific departments across fields.

Our astronomical observation division discovered something terrifying."

Sheppard blinked. "Terrifying?"

"Yes. According to the observatory's data, hundreds of millions of years ago, a white hole somewhere in the cosmos released tremendous energy."

"White hole?"

"White holes and black holes are opposites. One theory posits that a white hole is the outlet for the dark energy a black hole produces. The massive energy released from there—we call it the 'Waves of Light'—may have invaded Earth more than ten years ago."

Sheppard was shocked. "You mean Aster's family incident?"

"Yes, we believe that's possible," Pegasus nodded.

"Further research led to more findings. In human history, conflicts, disasters—wars that caused countless deaths—many of them show traces of those Light Waves."

This theory surprised Sheppard even more. "Are you saying even human wars might have been caused by the Light Waves?"

"No, we can't assert that. But we believe there was at least some influence," Pegasus said. "The Waves of Light can drive people out of control, drawing out their darkness.

Some war-mongering tyrants and infamous dictators may indeed have been affected. And now, they've set their sights on the power of cards—their potential.

Aster's father was likely killed because he was one of our card designers—a remarkably gifted one. His talent was exploited by evil forces, resulting in the birth of that forbidden card."

Sheppard frowned. "After all these years, has that power not waned at all?"

"That's not quite right. You know cards have the power to seal extraordinary beings like the three Sacred Beasts and three Egyptian Gods."

"Are you saying Ultimate D has that kind of power?" Sheppard was stunned.

"That's hard to say… but leaving it alone will cause new threats—that's certain," Pegasus said. "So no matter what, we must uncover the truth of that incident and find the card."

Just then, the door burst open from outside, and a man in a black suit rushed in, panting.

Pegasus frowned. "Kemo, didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

He was a subordinate from Industrial Illusions.

"Yes, President Pegasus, but it's urgent!"

"Just got word from HQ—something happened at the World Championship," Kemo said.
