The surrounding crowd was already stunned.
What kind of development is this?
Especially considering the heavy responsibilities stationed within the Dark Web, the Armorer as their manager here, everyone naturally knows his formidable reputation. His dueling skills are undoubtedly top-notch in this underground market, and everyone deeply admires his prowess.
Furthermore, the mecha is his personal trademark. It's rumored that before joining the Dark Web, he had already made quite a name for himself with his unique "Mecha Team - Might." But later, he encountered a significant figure in the Dark Web by chance and, after losing in a duel to that figure, voluntarily pledged allegiance, becoming a Grand General under the Dark Web.
Such a significant character was defeated by some newcomer using his best technique, the mecha?
No, to be precise, whether that thing can really be called a mecha seems uncertain.
At first glance, it does indeed look like he's using a mecha card deck. But after the "Bouncing Turtle" jumped out, the style seemed to start deviating quite a bit...
Is this how mecha is played?
The fake Mecha Big Shot needs to gather four mecha for a four-fold fusion, claiming "damage surpassing Ultimate Dragon", yet has no other abilities and gets shattered one by one when attacked.
The real Mecha Big Shot, Mecha Team - Bouncing Turtle. If one shot doesn't work, launch another, and all Fortress transformations are merely projectiles—when crazy, it can even personally jump into the cannon to fire itself.
But even if I want to ridicule, it seems there's no point. In the end, you just have to say he won or not...
Yugen stepped forward slowly, crouching before the man. The surrounding guards hesitated, mentally conflicted, feeling neither advancing nor retreating was right.
"Convinced?" Yugen smiled.
Armorer: "..."
Do I even have the right to say no?
"Glad to hear that." Yugen smiled, "So... shouldn't we discuss the rules we just mentioned about correcting?"
The Armorer replied weakly, "...I don't make the decisions here. The entire underworld operates this way; where there's demand, there's trade. Even if you change this market, there'll be other markets..."
"You needn't worry about that," Yugen shrugged, "If I hadn't run into it, it wouldn't matter. But since I came across it..."
He chuckled softly.
"You can consider yourselves unlucky."
The Armorer froze, then gritted his teeth, "Even if I agree, the Dark Web won't let you go. They'll come after you; you have no idea of the organization's depth. There will be experts far superior to me..."
"Oh, that's even better."
Yugen smiled.
Besides, they're after the Revolver, not someone like me, Yugen.
The Armorer widened his eyes at Yugen, finding it incomprehensible; how could there be such a fearless madman in this world.
And he even has astonishing card skills...
"Then there's another matter, some questions I'd like to ask. It's also the main reason I came to the Dark Web." Yugen said.
The Armorer helplessly, "Go ahead."
"Seven-Star," Yugen said, "The one behind them, word is, that guy also frequently visits this market?"
"Master of Seven-Star?"
The Armorer was stunned, then nodded to confirm.
"Indeed there's such a person. He often comes here to procure alchemy materials, alchemy equipment, and various latest alchemy achievements in the industry..."
"All alchemy stuff?" Yugen asked.
It seems Kagemaru hasn't relaxed his exploration of alchemy at all.
"Yes, he recently even procured a batch... a batch..."
He seemed to suddenly realize something was amiss and quickly shut his mouth.
"A batch of what?" Yugen asked.
He maintained a casual tone, his voice not loud, but through the Revolver's mask emanated a sense of authority.
The Armorer showed a look of fear, hesitating as if he dared not speak. He glanced furtively at Yugen, but the moment their eyes met, it was like a bolt of electricity, he quickly looked away, yet he reluctantly continued.
"A batch of... living alchemy materials."
The Armorer lowered his head, not daring to meet Yugen's gaze.
Living materials...
Yugen showed a look of disgust. Although the Armorer dared not look at him, he lowered his head as if he could still feel the contempt and cold killing intent from Yugen's gaze.
"We never inquire about specific information from clients, it's one of the rules of the Dark Web." The Armorer quietly said, "If there's a vendor willing to sell, and a buyer willing to buy. We just provide a platform, the people aren't caught by us...
But judging by the materials he procured, his research should be related to the forbidden 'Human Alchemy' content, a historical secret of eternal alchemy that has fascinated generations of alchemists."
"Then that Master of Seven-Star." Yugen said blandly, "How do I find him?"
"I don't know..."
Seeing Yugen's unfriendly expression, he quickly reassured.
"It's also a consistent rule of the Dark Web, never to inquire about information clients don't want others to know. Many of the people who come here for transactions are prominent figures on the street, there might even be some old-timers who woke up from three thousand years ago. Random probing can lead to trouble.
That's why our Dark Web has lasted so long... But! If you insist on finding him, I do have a suggestion."
"Oh?"
"While we don't know the whereabouts of 'Master of Seven-Star', since he's still researching 'Human Alchemy', he's most likely connected to 'Alchemy Star'.
"And what is that?"
"That's the most renowned forbidden alchemy research organization of the day, and the only organization in the underworld still persisting in researching eternal alchemy.
If someone is interested in eternal alchemy, they definitely won't bypass this organization.
With your ability and charisma as the Revolver Leader, you might be able to make contact with the Master of Seven-Star through Alchemy Star..."
Alchemy Star.
Yugen pondered. This leads to another organization, but since it's said to be an authority on Human Alchemy, who knows what its relationships are with the Dade Temple.
In the Seven-Star incident, the Dade Temple openly serves as the BOSS of Seven-Star, Kagemaru's top Grand General, but in reality, he's an ally.
It'll be better to inquire with Teacher Dade Temple after returning.
"That's all we know." The Armorer said helplessly, "Revolver Leader, you see..."
Yugen snapped out of it, glanced at his pitiful appearance, then looked at the fearful but silent guards behind him.
He then slightly smiled.
For some reason, the gaze from behind the mask clearly contained sunshine and laughter, yet only made the Armorer shiver with fright.
Like being stared down by a demon in fear.
...
...
Upon leaving the underground market and returning to the street, Kurosaki was already trembling in fear.
He once considered himself a tough guy on the street. But now, looking at this new leader beside him, he suddenly felt his own weight was worth nothing.
He stammered, "Revolver... Leader, you really took down the entire market..."
"Yes." Yugen tilted his head towards him, "Is there something wrong?"
"No... no. It's just... what that man said... this is the Dark Web." Kurosaki couldn't help but say, "Doesn't this equate to declaring war on the Dark Web?"
"Yes."
"But... but that might lead to some experts coming after us. Maybe even some deeply hidden experts who ordinarily never come out..."
"Oh?"
Yugen laughed.
"Such a great opportunity?"
Kurosaki: "???"
