→Atem's reign: I too wish for a millennium of peach, but unfortunately that's not what was said here.
[[Bakura, King of Thieves (manga)|Bakura, King of Thieves]] arrived at the pharaoh's palace, having plundered Akhenamkhanen's tomb, and stated his intentions to take the priests' Millennium Items. Akhenaden claimed that the Millennium Items are used to maintain law and order and tried to warn Bakura that the ones capable of holding the items are priests who have trained their souls and the divine pharaoh who rules the land. He said that should a person with a heart of evil, such as Bakura, touch a Millennium Item their soul would burn away and the gods would punish them with death. But Bakura said that excited him and he wanted them even more now. Akhenaden used the Millennium Eye to gaze into his soul and was surprised to see a bottomless pit of shadow with a powerful hatred hidden inside. He was also shocked by the size of Bakura's ''ka'', [[Diabound (manga)|Diabound]], asking how such a demon could dwell within a mere thief's soul. However Bakura claimed Diabound was not a demon, but a god.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|285|ref}}</ref>
Seto became enraged by Bakura's disrespect and prepared to engage in battle. Akhenaden tried warning him that the enemy is powerful and that they ought to join forces to battle, but Seto insisted he was strong enough to do it alone.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|286|ref}}</ref> After defeating Seto's monster, [[Galestgoras (manga)|Galestgoras]], Bakura directly challenged the Atem, enraging Akhenaden, who said there would be no mercy for him. Bakura also showed he had brought the corpse of Akhenamkhanen with him and blamed him for the creation of the Millennium Items. Akhenaden argued that Akhenamkhanen had brought peace in his reign and created the items to fulfill his wish for a millennium of peach peace to be brought to the warn-torn country. Bakura challenged the perspective of the usage of the word "peace" and claimed the items were forbidden artifacts of black magic, possessing an evil power. The other priests were unconvinced by his claims, but when he mentioned [[Kul Elna]], Akhenaden worried that he knew the truth.<ref name="cp 287">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|287|ref}}</ref>
