Chapter 156: Playing Cards to Decide the Order

Even the destruction of the world cannot stop the president's addiction to playing cards. This statement is absolutely not an exaggeration.

The little episode between Noa and Gosaburo did not affect the president's determination to play cards. The duel boat that regained control quickly returned to normal track and began to march towards the final battle site - Devil Island.

As mentioned before, Devil Island is the wreckage left by Gosaburo's ambition to conquer the world. In fact, for President Kaiba, this game held on Devil Island is a crucial turning point in his entire life.

The brothers Kaiba and Keipi lost their parents when they were young. Their relatives quarreled over the inheritance, and the brothers ended up in an orphanage with no one paying attention to them.

Kaiba won the opportunity to turn his life around by his own strength, but after becoming Gosaburo's adopted son, his childhood was still gloomy. From the beginning to the end, Gosaburo only regarded him as a business machine, trying to squeeze out all the value from his genius mind, and finally even conspired to take away his body and make him a container for Noa who lost his body.

Now all of these have been overcome by Kaiba. He took the initiative to defeat Gang Saburo before he made his move, seized the Kaiba Group, and became the last winner. But there is nothing worth remembering in Kaiba's life.

He only sees the future.

In Kaiba's eyes, the future has infinite possibilities, and the past is just a footprint. Things that have passed have no meaning, and the real overlord should always focus on the future.

That is what he wants to do - win the title of Duel King in the duel on Devil Island, bid farewell to everything in his past, and take a new step.

Before reaching the goal, Youyu certainly did not hesitate to get new crystals from the Naia chapter and threw them all into the system card pool.

In fact, to be fair, the rewards given by this plot are really generous. One mission actually gave nearly 3,000 crystals.

Such a huge amount of task rewards is enough to make most players laugh even when they are asleep. However, for Youyu, who is used to cutting leeks, he feels that it is just so-so. It seems that he can get by so-so, but he still can't cut leeks as fast as he can...

Of course, 3,000 crystals poured into the card pool did not produce any high-rarity goods. Most of the few UR and SR cards were duplicates of the cards he already had.

However, Keipi kept his promise and immediately dragged a box of cards to him to replenish ammunition after getting on the airship.

It can be imagined that since it was given by Kaiba Group, the rarity must be inevitable. The whole box is basically full of rare cards.

It's just that although they are rare cards, most of them are actually some useless ordinary bones. The proportion can be roughly referred to the box of ordinary bones that the president used to fool Grandpa Yugi in the first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh DM to exchange for "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"...

But there are still useful cards.

One is the "Life-Slaying Treasure Note" that Youyu has been thinking about for a long time. If possible, he actually wanted to get a few more, but maybe the president thought that it was useless to bring too many of these things, so he only gave one in the box.

In addition, another useful card is another old banned card produced in the DM era, the trap card Destruction Wheel.

Destruction Wheel, usually a trap card, destroys a monster on the field and inflicts damage equal to the attack power of the monster on both players.

Simple and crude, powerful and effective trap, it was a banned card for a long time in the real card environment. In DM, it is a common card used by President Kaiba, and it has appeared many times in the GX animation. It is a trap with a high appearance rate.

This is indeed a good card that may be useful.

Although there are only two cards that can be used in a large box, the sincerity is indeed enough. Youyu boldly speculated that although President Kaiba’s face is full of disgust every time he sees him now, he may actually be grateful in his heart.

It’s just that he didn’t say it himself, and let his younger brother do everything for him.

The duel boat landed on the island full of ruins. Everyone followed the Kaiba brothers into the towering iron tower in front of them, and there was a sense of sacred ritual.

"So... do we still have to draw lots now?" Jonouchi, who had already consciously stood in the audience, looked around, "Hey! Kaiba, you won't do anything when drawing lots, right? Like deliberately grouping with Yugi or something..."

Kaiba folded his arms and snorted and ignored it.

At the same time, four metal door panels on the surrounding walls opened automatically, and behind each door was an elevator equipped with a computer.

The invincible referee Uncle Isono appeared again and calmly explained the rules for the top four groups to everyone.

Each of the top four players must stand on one of the elevators and disperse to four different corners to fight a four-person melee.

Under the melee rules, all players cannot attack in the first round. Each side represents a camp. There are no teammates, and the contestants can attack any side as they like.

The LP of the players in the duel is directly connected to the elevator computer under them. Whenever a player loses LP, the elevator will rise to a corresponding height.

The grouping rules are also very simple. The two people whose LPs reach zero first are the first group, and the remaining two people whose LPs have not reached zero are the second group.

The two winners of the semi-finals will be eligible to compete for the championship and the title of Duel King.

This plan is indeed very good - there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved by playing cards, even the order of playing cards can be solved by playing cards...

But in this case, winning or losing this duel becomes irrelevant. There is no benefit in winning or losing in itself, it is just to determine the opponent for the top four.

After thinking about this, the brains of several participants quickly became active.

Especially if you look at the president, he has just stood on the lifting platform, the machine has not started yet, his eyes are already fixed on the game opposite, and he may still be shouting silently in his heart——

——Game↑Game↓!

This duel will be the location of our fateful battle, so get ready to move forward at full speed!

During this period, the president seemed to think of something. He glanced at You Yu and seemed to think of the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" that You Yu held in his hand, and also thought of the cards they had not finished playing because the screws of the duel disk fell out.

The president thought for a moment or two...

...Then his eyes looked towards the game with burning eyes again.

Sure enough, the opponent I want to fight the most is you! Game↑game↓!

Although he was also a man recognized by the president, the president and You Yu just couldn't decide the winner. But for him, the game is a peak that stands in his heart. It has made him feel powerless to fight back in duels more than once. It is an existence that he desperately wants to surpass.

In addition to this mentality of "Treat me like a king a thousand times", Kaiba also felt that there seemed to be some factor that transcended time and space that guided him to fight Yugi again, like there was an invisible rope. Bringing them together - even though he won't admit to this "supernatural trick".

Compared with games, Youyu...

...Well...it's just that she looks better.

Malik was even more unabashed. This Bi hadn't even stepped onto the lift, but he was already staring at Yugi's back and laughing obscenely, like a perverted uncle following the little lolita.

That expression simply said - I don't want to play this game!

Looking at President Kaiba and the six-year-old Malik, one had a fiery look and the other had a lewd look, all four eyes fell on Yugi. While You Yu deeply felt like a little transparent being ignored, he couldn't help but worry about the pharaoh's future...

The contestants each boarded their own lifting platform with their thoughts in mind, the device was started, and the four lifting platforms simultaneously rose to the designated height and stopped.

Following the order of the referee Isono, this huge melee involving the reincarnation of the pharaoh from three thousand years ago, the priest and the next pharaoh, the descendants of the tomb-guarding family who are destined to take revenge... and a certain outsider with a certain surname. This kicked off.

"Duel!" x4

It was Yami Yugi who attacked first: "My turn, draw a card! I summon the 'Elf Swordsman who overturns the enemy' in attack position!"

The projection equipment in the duel venue was running, and the light and shadow effects projected the image of a swordsman in steel armor and cloak, holding a sword, with the sword across his chest, protecting his master.

[Elf swordsman who overturns the enemy, attack power 1400]

This is also one of the representative monsters of Muto games, and his appearance rate may even be as high as that of the game's ace "Black Magician".

It's just that his name may be slightly wrong, and it may be more appropriate to change it to "The Fairy Swordsman Who Was Troubled by the Enemy". Because this poor swordsman plays the role of cannon fodder who is summoned to the field by the game to be beaten every time, he is also affectionately and popularly called the "cannon fodder swordsman" by the players...

"My turn is over," the game declares.

"Then for my next turn, I will draw a card!" Later it was President Kaiba's turn, "I summon the 'Blood Ax Demon' in attack mode!"

[Blood Ax Demon, attack power 1900]

"Put down one more card and the round is over!"

After quickly completing the action of playing cards, the president's eyes returned to Yugi again. He couldn't help but want to go up and push Yugi to the ground to play cards with him...
