Chapter 31 - Yami no Geemu - Director
He turns around and Atemu smiles to himself as he concentrated the power of Sennen Pazuru by hiding him under his crossed arms while the man couldn't see that a strange mist enveloped them, gradually turning that area in a Yami no Game.
However, that area would only be fully involved if the other party accepted the proposed game that would reveal its future.
Then Pharaoh speaks in his deep voice like the darkest abyss, "I was waiting for you, Director."
"You're that kid named Yuugi. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Did you come to demand a fee or something?"
"You've invaded the border of mou hitori no ore's heart. So now you'll have to play a game with me. It's just a little pastime."
"A game?" He frowns as he finds the posture of the young man in front of him strange.
"This kid looks very different… Including his voice. His voice was not baritone. On the contrary, it was a very soft voice. Well, I must be wrong." The director completes in thought.
Atemu held out a dice as he spoke, "The game will be made with this! A simple dice. It is said that in ancient Egypt, people trusted their fate in the dice. Of course at that time they used a bone called astragalus that was found in the heels of mammals."
The man shows irritation on his face because he didn't have the patience to play a game.
After all, he thought it was a waste of time.
"Let me explain the rules of the game" Pharaoh takes the die between two fingers as he raises it to the level of his face. "It's a very simple thing. I'll roll the dice first. If you roll a smaller number, you win. If you roll an equal number, you win anyway. On the other hand, if I win, you'll face your fate which will be revealed in this game as we play it."
"What an idiot! Why would I have to do that?" The man exclaims in an annoyed tone for finding everything the young man said ridiculous.
"The game started!" Atemu throws the dice and as the object bounces, he has satisfaction on his face that the director hasn't moved away.
Pharaoh knew that the director would get more and more angry to the point of taking the die to use it as a weapon against him, aiming to vent his fury while his strategy was to make him take the object, thus causing that the director unconsciously accepted Yami no Game.
Once the object is picked up by the director, the shadows invisible to the eyes of a human without magical powers will completely envelop the area, making the game official.
For now, the shadows only partially enveloped the location because they were waiting for the acceptance of the other person involved in Yami no Game.
Then the die stops spinning and the face up is six points, the highest number on a die.
Upon seeing the result, the man cackles, then exclaims excitedly while chuckling, "It's six! Six! I'm going to win anyway! So there's no reason for me to roll this damn dice."
"Certainly, luck is on your side... But I will continue with the game." Atemu, who was with his hands in his pockets, spoke calmly, knowing that his calm posture, without being shaken by the other's verbal outburst would only make his opponent even more nervous, indirectly stimulating him to take the die for be filled with anger.
Then, Pharaoh smiles at the corner to see the man being taken by an intense and equally blind rage due to the fact that the spirit did not react in the way he expected and for not having given up the useless and idiotic game when he saw him.
Taken by fury and desire to hurt the young man in front of him, he picks up the dice from the ground and as he does so, the spirit observes with satisfaction on his face, the shadows enveloping both of them, making the game official in a Yami no Game.
After all, Atemu tried to irritate him by working with words and posture to make the director accept the game, without having to verbalize it, because he knew that the man in front of him would never speak verbally and that confirmation would need to be made through a gesture of acceptance, even unconsciously.
Seeing that his plan worked, he smiles immensely. His extreme self-confidence would never make him think his plan wouldn't succeed.
The director was more enraged than he already was when he saw the young man's face showing a huge smile.
"You… stubborn!" The man picks up the dice and throws it violently towards his face, aiming to hurt him. "I'll roll the dice as you ask and I'll take the opportunity to open a hole in your face!"
Then, the director sees the die hitting and then falling to the ground, revealing the face with a dot, this dot having the shape of an Egyptian eye.
"One!" He laughs with satisfaction. "I took one! I won!"
The Pharaoh was smiling intensely as he held the Sennen Pazuru up in front of his face, with the sharp point forward.
After all, the man's act of throwing the dice in his face was expected and because of that, he had strategically positioned the Sennen Aitemu's tip forward, aiming to cut the dice in half using the force of the director's throw. Everything was going according to his plan, including the fact that he took off the number six because it was on purpose.
Then he speaks in a false tone of regret as he flashes a sneer on his face, "What a pity... Your fate has just been confirmed."
"Like?!" The man, who had turned to go to his car, turned around, stupefaction on his face because he had believed he had taken the smallest number among them.
Then, looking at the ground, he is astounded to see that the die had split in half. The face with an Egyptian eye, indicating a dot, was up, in fact, but next to it was the face of the six dots facing up that made the man gasp in astonishment as he stuttered as he struggled to assimilate the unexpected and equally surreal result. , "Did split in half and get seven?! That's impossible!"
"Unmei no Batsu Geemu (運命の罰ゲーム - Destiny Punishment Game)! Mozaiku Gensou (モザイクの幻像 - Mosaic Illusion)!" Atemu points his finger at the man in front of him and exclaims with his baritone voice deep as the darkest abyss.
In this, the same golden eye on the spirit's forehead protrudes forward, enveloping the director, with Sennen Pazuru's Wadjet eye also glowing in conjunction with the eye.
The man puts his hand on his face as he began to be taken by terror because the image of the young man in front of him began to blur, and then he realized that it took the form of a mosaic that was used on television to hide something, and that it gradually became more intense as he exclaimed in thought,"The boy's image is turning into a mosaic! Not just the boy, but everything I'm seeing! Everything I see is becoming a mosaic!"
He snaps out of his thoughts as he screams in a mixture of terror and despair.
After all, the Director ended up trapped in an eternal illusion, with him starting to see everything through a mosaic too intense to the point of being unable to distinguish anything from what he saw and that would be like this until his death, with no doctor being able to find a medical explanation for what happened and while he was immersed in his despair, his memories of how it happened were gradually erased as an effect of Yami no Game's magic.
"If you use the camera just to distort reality, it's better to hide everything you see through a mosaic!" Atemu, with one hand in his pockets and the other holding the Sennen Aitemu, exclaimed with a satisfied smile on his face.
Then, Yukiko returns to the spot, dispelling the parking illusion because it was no longer needed while keeping the magic mist, with Pharaoh speaking while displaying surprise on his face, "I see you're back quickly. By any chance, lost the prey?"
"No. I've captured him and he's currently imprisoned. I'll have fun with him later. After all, I have some obligations to fulfill before I can properly enjoy my prey." She speaks with a sadistic smile as she imagines having fun with her prey.
The spirit looks at Yuugi's friends, still trapped in his mind by her power.
"Are you going to release them now?" he asks, frowning at the half dragon.
"Yes. While dispelling the fog. But before I do that, I need to take care of the cameraman."
She walks up to the unconscious man and after seeing the program director screaming in terror, she smiles immensely, and then creates an ice creature that resembles a gargoyle that captures the director and takes him to his creator after catching him in a inescapable grip.
The Dragon Princess places one of her hands on his head, creating a false memory in him that consisted of the man heading to a nearby store to buy a drink, discovering that in fact he intended to do so after filming, with her finding out about it by probing your mind. The half dragon also found out that the man had planned to buy it before filming the episode and that she ended up changing her mind upon finding the perfect victim for her show.
After setting the new memories because he would be left next to the store that always bought his favorite drink, Yukiko notices her creature looking at her, seeking new directions, with the half dragon mentally communicating her orders.
Then, the being bows to its creator and master, demonstrating that it understood the orders, and then spread its wings, taking flight to move away from the place while using its tail to gag it while there was a magical barrier around them that would prevent people from seeing the being flying, allowing him to place the man in the place necessary to give veracity to the false memory.
Atemu, who had been looking at the creature with fascination, asks with evident curiosity on his face, "Is it capable of creating more beings?"
"I can create countless beings. Even, I can provide a personality, if necessary, as well as, I can give the gift of speech, if I wish. Normally, I grant intelligence to make my life easier, besides they exist for a certain time. This gargoyle has a function and after fulfilling it, it will disappear."
"In other words, you can create an army capable of conquering any place you want."
"Yes."
"It's amazing the fact that you didn't use your power to conquer the world. It would certainly be child's play."
"Yes. It would. I could disable all human weapons, neutralizing any attack. Subduing this planet would be too easy if I wanted to."
"And why don't you?"
"It's like I said, 'if I wished'. I don't. Besides, why would I do that?" She asks arching her right brow.
"A powerful being does not use its powers to subdue an inferior species is something, too, unusual." He comments while confessing that he was curious about the being's opinion, to know whether or not it was a threat to the world.
Atemu felt that he needed to defend the world and had a feeling that something similar to this occurred despite not having any memory, feeling that the labyrinth in his mind was a way to prevent him from accessing his lost memories, making him question why of his memories not being accessible to him.
Then, Pharaoh sighs as he realizes that even if the being in front of him was a threat to that world, he couldn't do anything to save the planet because she was too powerful, making him question himself if his desire for answers it came from his need to assuage his fears or to try to prepare the teenager for the inevitable.
After all, if the being subjugated the human race, all he could expect was death and suffering during the ascension, and while he knew his host wouldn't take any chances with her, he knew what the young man's heart was like. Yuugi would never accept any torment from others.
Even the young man had compassion, even with his enemies, no matter what they did to him.
Therefore, your loved one would suffer a lot if something like this happened to the world in which he lived and that if that happened, he would have to overcome this suffering by helping him to face a reality that would make him suffer.
Atemu didn't know that Yukiko would never do something like that.
After all, the idea of subjugating innocents was repulsive and the other reason for not doing this act was motivated by Yuugi's feelings. The half dragon would never forgive herself if she made him suffer for any act she did. His happiness was her happiness, his pain was his pain and his sadness was her sadness.
Therefore, she would never do anything that would cause him suffering.
"Not always, every powerful being can have desires to subjugate a race considered inferior. This is my case. Besides, I couldn't bear to see Yuugi's tears and despair. Therefore, this hypothesis of subjugating the human race, taking control by force or otherwise will never occur."
"I am relieved. In fact, the mou hitori no ore would not be able to live in this world, nor would he accept the deaths resulting from a war."
"Yes. After all, I also know his heart."
After she bends her knees, she takes the unconscious man's camera and erases the recording, to then damage the device, and then put one of her hands on the cameraman's head, starting to modify his memories, deciding that he would put them inside the station's van, causing the professional to fall into a deep sleep to simulate that he was dozing in the vehicle while waiting for the director to return from the store.
The half dragon concentrates and spreads the mist throughout the school area to the broadcaster's vehicle, putting everyone in the area into a kind of trance while summoning another gargoyle that grabs the cameraman and the camera, placing them both in the van and positioning them according to the directions orders from its creator, to then disappear in a mist of ice.
"Position and just give control back to Yuugi once they wake up."
"Yes." Atemu consents while confessing to himself that he missed his true stature.
The spirit knew that it would only achieve its true stature in that body when it increased its magic power because most of it was still dormant within it due to the sealing in Sennen Pazuru, with it feeling that it would only have its full powers in a few months.
Until that day came, he would have to make do with the stature of his host's body.
After he takes his place, the albino consents and undoes the mist, disappearing within it and as the place returned to normal, Atemu returned to his soul chamber which was formed by numerous labyrinths while Yuugi woke up from the long sleep imposed on him. him inside his soul chamber while his friends were released from the kind of trance at the same time that their wounds had been healed by Pharaoh.
As for Yukiko, she would only switch with her clone when they left the place, making her replica give any excuse to get away from them so they could switch places with her clone, who would disappear after having fulfilled its function.
