Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Chương 595 Avenged for Nothing?

Chương 595: Chapter 595: Avenged for Nothing?

Night fell like a heavy curtain, rciless clouds shrouded the entire forest. Exquisite, luxurious furniture was toppled everywhere, the finely decorated living room bore traces of destruction. A cold wind swept through, carrying a biting chill.

Yet, outside, the thunder and lightning had stopped at so point.

The clouds slowly drifted away, gradually revealing the moon buried beneath them. Moonlight shone through the window, casting onto the gentleman kneeling in the living room, stretching his shadow long and thin.

Zigfried Lloyd was in a bad state.

He was soone who had suffered a crushing defeat before. Precisely because he couldn't accept that loss, he ca back from hell for revenge.

The last ti he lost, his two greatest rivals were Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto.

He lost, but couldn't accept it, so he gave up everything for revenge.

But in the end, this revenge was for nothing.

If soone asked how he felt now, just one word: regret. Deep, deep regret.

He should have used his remaining assets to buy a coffin and bury himself. Instead, he started this so-called revenge. Now look at what happened—though he lost badly before, at least he lost with dignity.

Seto Kaiba had to use all his trump cards to win, with XYZ-Dragon Cannon and Blue-Eyes taking turns, and even the now-banned Chaos Emperor Dragon made its one ani appearance, earning this guy a place in history.

To have such treatnt, as the only one in Yu-Gi-Oh! ani to face the full, uncensored Chaos Emperor Dragon, he definitely deserves to be rembered.

But now, after today's defeat, his mind was filled with nothing but Catapult Turtles.

Even if he closed his eyes, all he saw were turtles.

Zigfried sighed deeply.

They say that when people are dying, they see their life flash before their eyes. But for him, his resentnt before death was so strong that, even in his dying monts, all he saw was a swarm of turtles, squeezing out even the life-flash.

He felt that the most tragic thing in life was this.

"You, cough, cough—"

Kneeling on the ground, he might have wanted to curse, but was too weak, forcing a bitter smile.

"Seto Kaiba's subordinates... to think you're this strong and unorthodox a duelist. I really shouldn't have co back. I was destined to lose."

Mokuba felt soft, even knowing this was an enemy, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry seeing him like this.

"Uh, actually, there's sothing you should know..."

"Hmm?" Zigfried looked up with difficulty.

"About Kira."

Mokuba stepped forward, motioning to Kira, a little embarrassed.

"Actually, Kira isn't my brother's subordinate, nor does he work for KaibaCorp."

"What?"

Zigfried blinked, confused.

"Kira is this year's new Duel King. He beat my brother in Duel City, saved the world from the God of Orichalcos, and is the first new Duel King since Yugi retired."

Mokuba explained.

"My brother is out of the country right now, and we happen to be friends, so I asked him to help."

"Duel King!?"

Zigfried stared wide-eyed, as if learning the village just got internet, looking at Kira in shock.

So he hadn't lost to so KaibaCorp lackey?

But to the Duel King...

Zigfried pondered for a few seconds.

Then suddenly raised his head and laughed. His long pink hair hung loose, his face pale as a corpse, looking even more ghastly in the moonlight.

"Duel King, good, good, another Duel King.

There've only ever been two Duel Kings, and both stood with Kaiba against . Hahaha, good, very good..."

But as he laughed, his laughter suddenly turned to sobbing. Tears stread down his face, making him look terrifying and strange.

Finally, all his words turned into one sentence.

"You damn well should've said you're not with Kaiba!"

"Otherwise, why would I fight you so hard???"

His voice cut off.

Zigfried Lloyd fell to his knees, head lolling to one side.

Then his body was covered by a faint haze, parts turning into black mist, parts dissolving into light, bit by bit fading away.

Until his whole body beca transparent, disappearing completely.

Kira: "..."

Mokuba: "..."

After a few seconds, Mokuba couldn't help asking Kira, "Did you finish him off with a Shadow Duel?" 1

Kira thought for a mont, then shook his head.

"I had no intention of taking his life."

Kira knew the rules of Shadow Duels. Even if the other side started it, he could often, as the winner, spare them by altering the stakes.

But not always. Even the Pharaoh, with the Millennium Puzzle, could only change the stakes against weaker opponents; when facing other Millennium Item holders, or trying to undo the Orichalcos shadow ga, he failed.

"So he was killed by his own Shadow Duel powers?" Mokuba asked.

Kira frowned and thought, but didn't answer.

He sensed things weren't that simple.

Instead, Kira walked to the end of the living room and pushed open a closed door.

A rush of damp, moldy, ancient air ca out, almost suffocating. Moonlight barely shone in, unable to dispel the villa's chill and darkness.

A long corridor lay ahead.

Walking down the dusty, cobweb-filled corridor was like stepping on the dust of ages. Occasionally, you'd spot spiders fleeing; their webs covered every corner, as if they ruled the place.

"What's that stench?"

A few steps in, Mokuba couldn't help pinching his nose.

The stench of rot grew stronger as they advanced.

Kira kicked open a door into the bedroom. The sll was overpowering.

It was the scent of death.

On the old, faded, dusty bed lay a corpse, badly deford, skin an unnatural green, eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It was Zigfried Lloyd.

Chương 596: Chapter 596: Zigfried Is Dead 1

Ten minutes later, a KaibaCorp field team had arrived at the villa.

"It's definitely Zigfried Lloyd."

A team mber ca out, carrying a laptop, to Mokuba outside. The sll inside was too much, so Kira and Mokuba had already gone outside.

"He's dead?" Mokuba asked. "Because of a Shadow Duel?"

"No, I think it was illness."

The team mber reported.

"And it wasn't recent. The exact ti is hard to determine, but judging from the body, he's been dead for at least three months."

Mokuba was stunned.

Three months?

But they had just seen Zigfried Lloyd, talked to him, even played a duel.

If the real Zigfried Lloyd had died three months ago, then who did they see?

Who did they duel against?

Thinking of this, Mokuba broke into a cold sweat. Instinctively, he glanced back at the villa, which now seed even more ominous.

Zigfried's resentnt before death, his twisted expression, his deathly pale face—all flashed back, making Mokuba shiver.

It was as if the vengeful spirit still lingered, glaring at them from the shadows.

"Kira..."

Mokuba looked at Kira.

"Did we just..."

"See a ghost? Probably." Kira said.

Mokuba: "..."

Could you not say sothing so scary in such a calm tone?

"What's wrong?" Kira said casually. "Didn't we just discuss how ghosts aren't that rare?"

Mokuba was speechless.

True. Before the duel, they had just been talking about how the previous Duel King was a 3,000-year-old ghost.

So what Kira ant was, ghost or not, it's already been beaten—nothing too scary.

"But what I'm wondering is, why?" Kira thought, stroking his chin. "Why did he end up like this?" 1

In this world, people have souls, but it's not easy for them to beco vengeful ghosts. Normally, the dead return to the afterlife, and soone like the Pharaoh only hung around for 3,000 years due to extraordinary circumstances and supernatural power.

Zigfried Lloyd was a genius and a capitalist, but hadn't dealt with the supernatural. His words and actions in the duel suggest soone helped him.

Soone gave him the power to persist as a soul after death and to start a Shadow Duel with Kira.

Kira, having read many ancient texts, especially on dark powers, understood: for a soul to persist and gain Shadow Duel powers is not sothing just any dark duelist can grant.

Whoever did this must be very powerful.

In short, taking care of Zigfried was only the first step. The real mastermind behind him hasn't even shown up and probably won't let this go.

Looks like KaibaCorp still has a lot of trouble ahead.

But that's Kaiba's problem.

Kira had been paid well by Kaiba, with a warehouse of cards and even a jet plane, so he didn't mind helping out when Kaiba was away, or when he had ti.

Sotis, there's even extra cash to be made.

Like today, with Zigfried's Valkyrie deck.

The Valkyries may not be that strong, but their rarity is top-tier. There's only one because Zigfried printed them himself; it's his exclusive deck. 3

And while their power is average, the Valkyries' advantages go beyond skimpy costus. The two broken god cards Zigfried just used—draw-five-with-a-side-of-opponent-monster-silence Nibelung's Treasure, and the turn-skipping Mischief of the Ti Goddess—are both rule-breaking fake cards.

Now Zigfried is dead, and the poor Valkyries are masterless, so Kira reluctantly takes them in, giving them a new ho.

"What's your plan now?" Kira asked Mokuba.

Mokuba understood that there was more to the Zigfried incident, that soone else was behind it.

He thought for a mont. "I'll ask Leon if he knows anything."

"Leon?" Kira didn't recall the na.

"Oh, Leon Wilson. Real na Leon von Schroeder."

The surna jogged Kira's mory. Zigfried's biological younger brother, who in the original KC arc used a Fairy Tale deck and dueled Yugi in the KC Cup finals, gaining Yugi's recognition. Zigfried said his brother's talent and skill far surpassed his own.

Back then, Leon was just a child but made it to the finals. Now, so many years later, he's a pro, active in the European circuit, often topping the leaderboards and winning championships, now considered Europe's number one duelist.

The Schroeder family fell on hard tis, and after the KC Cup, Zigfried went to jail and never recovered. But his brother, thanks to his talent, beca a star in the dueling world.

This character only briefly appeared in the KC arc, but is beloved by fans—especially those with a foot fetish. In his duel with Yugi, even though he lost, he did sothing no one else has done:

He took off Dark Magician Girl's little boots.

"Well, good luck with your investigation. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the Academy."

As he spoke, Kira remotely called his jet plane through his duel disk system. The jet from Kaiba could auto-pilot to his position.

"Let know if you need anything."

"Alright." Mokuba nodded. "Thanks again, I'll let my brother know."

Just then, another subordinate hurried over.

"Sorry to interrupt, sir, but we found a clue." He said. "The surveillance system at the house entrance was still running. We pulled the footage and found soone visited five days ago."

"Oh? Who?" Mokuba asked.

Zigfried had been dead for three months, so anyone entering the villa during that ti was suspicious.

"Facial recognition says his na is... Ryuya Saito? Just a local thug from a nearby town."

"A thug?" Mokuba was surprised. "A Shadow Duelist?"

"No, just a normal thug."

"That's odd." Mokuba muttered.

"Looks like I'll be getting back to the dorm late tonight," Kira said. "Do you have an address? I can go check it out, and politely ask Mr. Saito what he knows." 1
