【Alister, LP 0】
His LP returned to zero, and Air Fortress Ziggurat, which was his final trump card, was also blasted to pieces under the fist power of the heroes of the earth.
One of Doma’s Three Swordsmen was defeated.
When the outcome of a duel was decided, The Seal of Orichalcos immediately responded. The huge magic circle shrunk, and the magic circle reached the bottom of Alister’s feet. An invisible force grabbed his soul, and the green amulet hanging on his chest also cracked into crystal powder and drifted away with the wind.
But Alister had no regrets. Perhaps it was because the darkness in his heart was crushed by the giant god’s blow, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.
As he was dying, he turned his head to look at Mokuba who was beside him.
Compared with his elder brother, Mokuba was actually a very simple child. When he learned that the other party was also a victim of the Kaiba Corp and had a tragic past similar to their brothers, Mokuba sympathized with Alister from the bottom of his heart.
Alister smiled at him, took out the broken toy from his arms, and threw it to Mokuba.
The latter caught it subconsciously, and couldn’t help being stunned: “But this… this is not the most important thing to you…”
“Miruko would want it to stay in your hands.”After speaking, Alister raised his head and looked at Kaiba.
“Seto Kaiba, don’t repeat the mistakes I made.” He said lightly, “Protect your brother, don’t…let this happen again.”
Kaiba snorted: “I don’t need you to tell me.”
At the end of the duel, the image of Obelisk disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Orichalcos’s magic circle turned into a green beam of light and soared into the sky, taking away the soul of the Doma swordsman.
Yuei Vu watched the only last interaction between the two rivals and was silent.
In fact, although Waking the Dragons arc was an anime-only plot, from the perspective of Kaiba’s character development, he personally felt that the duel between Alister and the president could be said to be a stroke of genius.
Alister was indeed very similar to the president. A haughty heart, a tragic past, and the pain of losing everything.
Although ironic, if there was anyone in the world who can truly understand Alister’s pain, that person may be Seto Kaiba as the enemy.
But in the animation, Kaiba behaved like a cold-blooded villain in the face of Alister’s mourning and accusations, and even mocked the opponent’s experience, as if he didn’t care at all.
So the president really didn’t care?
That was of course impossible. It’s just because Kaiba knew that Alister has become an obstacle to his progress, a hurdle he has to cross.
It was not the first time for Kaiba to trample on other people’s pain in order to realize this childish goal for his own dream – to build a paradise so that all children in the world could play happily. It was after the sacrifices of countless people by unscrupulous means that he was able to come to where he is today. And he had to go further before that dream could come true.
“You can’t create a new future without smashing the past”, was one of Kaiba’s most classic lines. He knew that ideals could not really be as beautiful as those written in fairy tales. If he wanted to move forward, he had to bear all the hatred on his back. This was his long-awaited realization.
So for Kaiba, it was a relief to some extent that Yuei Vu defeated Alister in his place.
This meant that he didn’t have to defeat this enemy with his own hands and bear all the hatred alone.
…But of course, if you wanted the president to admit this personally, it was absolutely impossible in this lifetime.
Kaiba looked sideways at Yuei Vu who was picking up the “Obelisk the Tormentor” from the Duel Disk, with a complicated expression on his face.
At the very last moment, when the “Obelisk the Tormentor” was drawn, Yuei Vu managed to gather three sacrifices in one turn to summon the god and even two more for using “Soul Energy MAX”…
Kaiba asked himself, even if Obelisk was in his hands, he didn’t seem to have done that either.
At this moment, Kaiba felt that his right hand could no longer hold back.
…… Yuei ↑ Vu ↓, I really want to fight against the current you again!
Yuei Vu, who was stared at by the president, felt a chill behind him and had a bad premonition…
At this time, Yuei Vu wisely chose to ignore it, pretending not to see it.
After the card was played, the feeling of being full of power just now disappeared in an instant. Opening his own panel, he saw that his Duelist Rank remained unchanged at 7 stars.
Yuei Vu thought for a while and tried to put this original “Obelisk the Tormentor” into the deck, and then opened the panel, only to see that nothing changed.
He roughly guessed the meaning of this Egyptian god. What the other party meant might be “hum, it’s just an exception for you to use me once, don’t get carried away, human beings!”
…Well, as expected of a god, each one was more arrogant than the other.
But it didn’t matter.
As we all know, “from zero to one is hard, from one to ten is easy”. As long as there was this precedent, he didn’t worry about this guy not following in the future.
Moreover, Yuei Vu opened the skill panel and found that the skill called “God’s Anger” was still there.
In other words, this skill might still be usable in the next duel.
Look, this guy says no, but he has already been betrayed by the skill panel…
But speaking of the movement of this card game, it was really a big deal. The moment The Seal of Orichalcos was activated, the apartment was blown to pieces, and the room was in chaos… as if the strong men of the Nightcrawlers World just spent the night here.
Not to mention that the windows from the living room to the bedroom were all shattered, and just now there was an oversized Air Fortress floating outside the building, as well as the giant HERO with a blue body.
If no one around here noticed something is wrong, the whole city must be inhabited by blind people.
But this was not a problem that Yuei Vu has to worry about. The almighty Kaiba Corp must be able to find a way to deal with it.
Anyway, the president was responsible for this matter, so he shouldn’t worry about this part.
…But why is the president staring at me?
Yuei Vu realized something was wrong when he just played cards. In the middle of playing cards, he got high and said whatever came to mind, a little bit carried away.
Then when he looked back, he found that the favorability of the president’s head was continuously rising…
He felt bad then.
It’s over, it’s over, the president’s favorability, I’m afraid it wasn’t because he planned to raid my room at night…
…He won’t force me to play cards, will he?
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
With a thought in his mind, Yuei Vu tactfully raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said “ah” as if he suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, I have to… pick up a few people.” Yuei Vu retreated to the door, “Then President, if there is nothing else, I will… er… take my leave first.”
