Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Don’t Even Think About Leaving Today

"The source of darkness? Me?"

Joey looked at Pegasus, baffled.

"That’s right, Joey Boy." Pegasus’s expression was grave. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Have you, recently... come into contact with an existence from another dimension?"

Joey froze, then suddenly understood.

Right. The so-called cosmic darkness, the power of the root of darkness... could he mean the Supreme King?

If that’s the case, then it’s true. Not only had he made contact—he was practically living with that source now. He also knew the Supreme King had already entered Jaden’s body.

"Well... you could say that." Joey looked up at the ceiling.

"We’ve confirmed that it’s an extremely dangerous existence," Pegasus said. "If you know what that root is—or who it is—please cooperate with us.

Because this concerns world security."

Joey fell silent.

If it was about world security, he could understand. He knew how dangerous that being called the Supreme King was. That overwhelming darkness ranked near the top among all the villains he’d seen in his life—and he, Joey the streetwise, had truly seen a lot; there weren’t many big scenes he hadn’t witnessed.

But...

"If you find out who it is," Joey looked up and said, "then you’ll take extreme measures to control him—or even eliminate him, right?"

"Only if necessary—but yes."

Pegasus didn’t dodge the point and answered frankly.

"We must think of the world’s safety."

"I see... well, that’s understandable." Joey nodded. "All right. If I learn anything, I’ll contact you immediately."

But Pegasus didn’t accept that. His one remaining eye narrowed further.

"You refuse to cooperate, Joey Boy," he said. "You’re trying to protect that person. Why?"

Joey went quiet again.

Then he spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, since you can already tell... yes." Joey said seriously, "I’ve gotten to know him well, so I trust that kid. I know he won’t be a threat.

And there’s one more thing you should know, Pegasus."

He held his serious expression for a few seconds.

Then suddenly grinned.

"I, Joey Wheeler, have never in my life done anything to betray a friend."

Pegasus stared at him blankly for a moment.

Then he sighed lightly and brushed aside the long hair covering half his face.

"Well, I figured you might say that. As expected, Joey Boy—you’ve already been ’infected by the Cosmic Dark.’"

"What?" Joey muttered. "I’m not infected by anything—"

As he spoke, there was a metallic clang. Joey turned toward the sound and saw every window and the main door of the castle room drop thick metal shutters in unison, like armor plates, sealing the chamber airtight—not even a mosquito could get out.

Joey sprang to his feet.

"Pegasus, what does this mean?"

Pegasus also rose, unhurriedly walked to the opposite side, and slipped on a Duel Disk from who-knows-where.

"It means you’re not leaving here today, Joey Boy."

Joey finally realized what was going on. "Wait—are you really Pegasus?"

"Of course, the genuine article. I’ve merely gained a brand-new perspective." Pegasus said coolly. "And now, through a duel, I’ll share that perspective with you."
