Chapter 35
Confronting Isis

“Who?”

You Xuan put on the Duel Disk on the table. At this juncture, the one who would come knocking could very well be a member of the Gurus.

He had to be prepared to fight, whether by borrowing the power of his monster spirits or by dueling.

“Mr. You Xuan, hello. We are from the Egyptian Archaeological Bureau. Our director has something she wants to talk to you about.”

A man's voice came from behind the door.

Egyptian Archaeological Bureau?

You Xuan thought back and remembered. It seemed that Malik’s sister Isis was the director of the Egyptian Archaeological Bureau.

Isis had something to talk to him about?

You Xuan stood up, opened the door, and saw two men dressed in camel-hair cloaks, styled in Egyptian fashion.

“Where’s your director?”

You Xuan got straight to the point upon seeing the two men.

He wasn’t surprised in the least that Isis could find his whereabouts.

As the owner of the Millennium Necklace, Isis could use this powerful artifact to foretell the future.

Finding someone was a piece of cake for her.

“Please follow us.”

The two Egyptians led the way, quickly bringing You Xuan to a high-class hotel near the inn.

Upon entering the reception room inside the hotel, You Xuan saw a black-haired beauty. She dressed in a decidedly Egyptian style, her figure alluring and her skin a healthy bronze color, creating a striking contrast with the white robe she wore. The Millennium Necklace around her neck further enhanced her already stunning beauty.

“Hello, Mr. You Xuan, I am Isis Ishtar. I have something I want to discuss with you in private.”

The black-haired beauty removed her veil, and her two subordinates withdrew, closing the door behind them.

“You can speak freely. I have a certain understanding of the Millennium Artifacts, the Gurus, and the Tomb Keepers.”

You Xuan tried to remain calm. He couldn’t deny that being up close and personal with Isis made it easier to appreciate her beauty.

He had to admit that for a moment, the thought of being Malik’s brother-in-law crossed his mind.

“You’re truly in the know. No wonder I saw you using the second Obelisk the Giant Soldier in a duel in my observations of the future.”

Isis revealed the reason for calling You Xuan here: “I’m curious where your Giant Soldier came from.”

Hearing Isis say this, You Xuan’s worries dissipated for the most part.

Since the holder of the Millennium Necklace had seen him use the Giant Soldier normally, then the Giant Soldier in his possession should be usable normally.

Without speaking, You Xuan took the blue-backed Giant Soldier out of his deck and handed it to Isis in response to her question.

He trusted Malik’s sister. He dared to entrust his God Card to her.

After all, the Giant Soldier in Kaiba’s hands was a gift from Isis.

“It’s strange. All three God Cards were created by the utmost effort of Pegasus. He wouldn’t have been able to make any more, but this card is not a fake. It truly possesses the power of a god. How did you get this card?”

Isis looked over the effects written on the Giant Soldier and returned the card.

You Xuan took back his God Card and spread out his hands, saying, “Sorry, the origins of this Giant Soldier are my secret. I won’t say, but of course, you have the Millennium Necklace. If you can use it to deduce the origins of this card, then I’ll admit it.”

The dark-skinned beauty simply shook her head: “That’s what makes this even more puzzling. Through the Millennium Necklace, I can accurately see the future. But when I look at you, the visions become blurry. My ability cannot deduce your origins. That makes me even more curious.”

Isis said this while revealing the Duel Disk on her left hand.

“There are two relatively clear visions I saw in the future: One is that I’m in the finals of the Duel Monsters Tournament, dueling against my brother. Although I didn’t win the championship, I still defeated several duelists, including you. The other vision is that you won all the way through the Duel Monsters Tournament and even became the King of Games. These two futures are contradictory, but both could exist.

I don’t know which one is the real answer, so I want to duel with you here to verify which future is the correct one.”

Isis took out six Disk Chips from her sleeve.

Without a doubt, Isis had obtained her qualification for the finals.

Seeing six Disk Chips in her hand, You Xuan was a little surprised.

He hadn’t expected Isis to gather them so quickly. Kaiba, Yugi, and the others probably hadn’t even qualified for the finals yet. This showed how strong she was.

She might have a beautiful appearance, but Isis undoubtedly possessed immense power.

According to Malik’s memories in the anime, neither the surface Malik nor the Dark Malik had ever defeated Isis, not even once.

This showed just how strong Isis was.

Plus, Isis hadn’t been targeted by the Gurus, so it shouldn’t be too difficult for her to find a few people to duel and collect six Disk Chips.

“Alright, since it’s a battle that will happen sooner or later, then let it begin here.”

Isis should have anticipated his arrival and had someone move the chairs out of the conference room. The empty room became the perfect place for a duel.

You Xuan raised the Duel Disk on his left hand and did not reject her challenge.

Since Isis had already qualified for the finals, it meant they would duel sooner or later, whether he accepted here or not.

Why not just duel here? It would be easier for both of them.

You Xuan had a very deep impression of Isis, one of the few women who was very good at playing cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh world.

He knew that the mainstays of her deck were the World and the Underworld, and the other was the Blast With A Sacrifice in Arms.

Aside from that, she also had some Angel-type monsters.

You Xuan didn’t need to worry too much about Blast With A Sacrifice in Arms. It was a Fusion deck, so he wouldn’t trigger it as long as he wasn’t rash and just threw down a Giant Soldier.

The truly worrisome thing was World and the Underworld. That was a super-strong killer card, with a very high ranking in the real cards.

It was known as one of the strongest decks in history, with a win rate once reaching 95%, even more powerful than drawing Exodia. Everyone wanted to be Isis before the card was banned, depleting their opponent’s deck in the first round.

Of course, Isis probably wouldn’t use such an annoying tactic, but it was still a card he had to watch out for.

One misstep and he could die of no cards to draw.

“Duel!”
