"Yu↑Gi↓!"
"Kaiba!"
Seto Kaiba stood in the center of the square dueling arena, the high-end Duel Disk full of technology in his hand shining with blue light, and his white windbreaker flying behind him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Yu↑Gi↓!" Kaiba shouted, "Come on! Let's put an end to our fateful battle!"
The man standing in front of him had a brightly colored seafood hairstyle, a golden pyramid-shaped pendant hanging upside down on his chest, and the chain made a crisp sound of metal friction.
His expression was solemn and hard, and his eyes were like a general's unsheathed sword, shining with a cold light.
Duel King Muto Yugi…no, or more accurately, Atem.
The Pharaoh from the underworld, the undefeated God of War!
"Since you are so persistent, then come, Kaiba." "Atem" said coldly, "But no matter how many times we come, the ending will be the same."
"Hmph, arrogant!""Duel!" x2
"…"
Yuei Vu, who was standing in the observation deck on the second floor, lost interest when he saw this.
It was said to be "testing a new Duel Disk", but everyone knew that it was actually President Kaiba's daily routine of torturing an AI Bot…
Almost a year has passed since Atem left.
The departure of this real world protagonist not only means the end of a story, but also means a peaceful life. For a whole year, there haven't been any villains one after another like before. There are no 10000-year-old bastards suddenly shouting about the destruction of civilization, and there are no artists with big black and long dragon heads sticking out from their crotches, threatening the destruction of the world. …
Of course, it was impossible to calm down completely. Yu-Gi-Oh is such a world that is mainly about playing cards, but where gods and demons are rampant. Even if there are no major events, there are always various supernatural events happening around the world, and most of them are related to playing cards.
According to Yuei Vu's observation, since President Kaiba's long-cherished enemy left, President Kaiba, who has always scorned the "supernatural", had clearly become more aware of various supernatural phenomena in his actions and attitudes, although he didn't say it in words.
And a more obvious change was that President Kaiba, who was already known as the "AI Bot Slayer", seems to have become even more obsessed with AI Bots this year.
But don't think that Kaiba's obsession with Atem AI Bot will temporarily make him forget Yuei Vu. Just two days ago, President Kaiba suddenly went crazy and pulled Yuei Vu out of bed in the middle of the night, forcing him to play cards with the president sleepily in the name of "testing the new duel system"… …
Test the new duel system my ass!
Yuei Vu was yawning and wanted to curse.
What a lunatic! Why do you suddenly want to play cards in the middle of the night?!
In the end, he was so tortured that he didn't sleep a wink all night. The next day when he went to the store with panda eyes, Chika-chan immediately became alarmed and asked him what he did last night and why he looked like he hadn't had any sleep…
Of course, if Yuei Vu didn't want to fight with the president, he could still refuse. He guessed the president wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
The reason why he got up in the middle of the night and ran to duel with the president was because…the bonus was too much.
There was no way, Yuei Vu felt that as a true duelist, he could not disobey his inner voice. And the deepest voice in his heart told him over and over again "If you don't take the money, you are a fool."
It was actually true to test the duel system. The invincible Kaiba Corp has made outstanding progress in technology this year. Now President Kaiba was obsessed with developing online card games.
According to his vision, in the future, duelists could call card data from all over the world through the Duel Disk, transmit it to the Duel Disk through the cloud network, and directly link with the duelist's nervous system and link the memory module of the human brain. Then Kaiba Corp's black technology would visualize the brain images in space, achieving duel performance far beyond the previous…
President Kaiba stubbornly called this system "Duel Link".
In fact, although this system was very powerful, it was still unrealistic to completely replace the old-fashioned card duel.
On one hand, this kind of black-tech Duel Disk would be very expensive, and not all civilian duelists could afford it. Furthermore, because it involved the "neural link" module, the safety factor is actually unknown.
But Kaiba didn't care, he still insisted on completing the development of this system.
The reason… was actually very simple.
Because based on research, Kaiba believed that this system could concentrate and synchronize the consciousness data of any duelist, and theoretically had the potential to transcend the dimension itself and open up pathways to unknown dimensions.
For example…
…to the underworld!
Whenever he thought of this possibility, Kaiba couldn't help but clench his fists, and his blood boiled.
Yu↑Gi↓!
Do you think you can escape our fate by going to the underworld?
Wait for me!
I'm going to fight you!
In fact, President Kaiba’s bold and unconstrained imagination had something to do with screwball players.
Because "World Link Online" was temporarily closed for maintenance, it is said to be preparing for a new version.
Yuei Vu was already mentally prepared. After version 1.0 of "World Link Online" in the previous life ended, the relevant servers were indeed maintained for a period of time. Although in reality, it was only a few days of maintenance and version updates, when players went online the next time, time had already fast-forwarded to version 2.0, which was the "Yu-Gi-Oh GX" period corresponding to the animation.
When he was bored, Yuei Vu also thought about it, thinking that the World Link Online might really be a parallel world. Somehow someone found a way to send players over in the form of projections, so they just threw them over.
Because it was essentially a parallel world, even the people who sent the players here naturally could not interfere with the game process, plot, and activities here, so they euphemistically called it an "absolutely open and free game" and promised, "The official will not interfere with any game process."
To put it nicely, it’s probably because they simply couldn’t do it.
This made Yuei Vu couldn't help but think about the behind-the-scenes novels he had seen in his previous life. Roughly speaking, the protagonist of the novel has obtained a special golden finger, which allows him to project game players as his own chess pieces into other worlds to fight for him. However, those players who participated in the war thought that they were just playing games…
…Of course, it was just a thought he had when he was too busy.
There was no point in thinking about all these things, just make peace with them as they come. Anyway, he was already a part of this Yu-Gi-Oh world.
It was conceivable that the NPCs would be surprised that such a large number of screwball players had integrated into this world, but all of them suddenly disappeared into thin air in one breath.
But soon an explanation spread among the NPCs.
These screwballs behaved strangely, dressed strangely, and sometimes liked to gossip and say things that no one could understand. They all looked like aliens. However, at important moments that threatened the survival of the world and the safety of human civilization, they clearly contributed actively, saved many lives, and played a key role.
So the NPCs quickly reached a consensus——
——These people may be duelists from other dimensions!
Many professionals have expressed their agreement and said that this hypothesis was possible. The more they studied, the more they felt that duel was the key to all technologies. Relying on the power of playing cards to transcend time, space, and dimensions, was not impossible even from the current perspective…
As soon as this theory was put forward, it immediately attracted the attention of President Kaiba.
So the president’s new goal was set——
——Transcend dimensions through the power of playing cards!
Then go to the underworld to play cards with that person!
To be honest, the president's energetic look made Yuei Vu a little worried.
What if one day in the future, Yuei Vu returned to the real world by chance? One day many years later, when he returned to his peaceful and ordinary life and walked on the pedestrian street of his original world, a dimensional crack suddenly opened in mid-air. President Kaiba stepped on the edge of a certain space-time machine, holding a Duel Disk and shouting – —
——Yuei↑Vu↓! I found you! Come and duel!
"…"
It made him sick just thinking about it.
