I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Game↑Game↓!"

"Kaiba!"

Seto Kaiba stood in the center of the square dueling arena, the high-end dueling 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, Yugi↓!" 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, golden pyramid-shaped building blocks hanging upside down on his chest, and the chain made a crisp sound of metal friction.

His expression was solemn and solemn, his expression was hard, and his eyes were like a general's unsheathed sword, shining with a cold light.

Duel King Muto Yugi...no, or more accurately, Atum.

The Pharaoh from the underworld, the undefeated God of War!

"Since you are so persistent, then come, Kaiba." "Atum" said coldly, "But no matter how many times we come, the ending will be the same."

"Hmph, arrogant!"

"Duel!" x2

"..."

You Yu, who was standing in the observation deck on the second floor, lost interest when he saw this.

It is said to be "testing a new duel disk", but everyone knows that it is actually President Kaiba's daily routine of torturing a murderer...

Almost a year has passed since Atum 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 moths one after another like before. There are no thousand-year-old antiques suddenly shouting about the restoration of civilization, and there are no behaviors that threaten the destruction of the world with a big black and long dragon head sticking out from the crotch. artist......

Of course, it is impossible to calm down completely. Yu-Gi-Oh is such a worldview 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 You Yu's observation, since President Kaiba's long-cherished enemy Wang Yang left, President Kaiba, who has always scorned the "supernatural", has clearly become more aware of various supernatural phenomena in his actions and attitudes, although he doesn't say it in words.

And an even more obvious change is that President Kaiba, who is already known as the "King of Humans and Machines", seems to have become even more obsessed with humans and machines this year.

But don't think that Kaiba's obsession with Atum's human machine will temporarily forget Yu Yu, it won't. Just two days ago, President Kaiba suddenly went crazy and pulled Youyu out of bed in the middle of the night. He was about to play cards with the president sleepily, calling it "testing the new duel system"... ...

Test your stick hammer test!

You Yu was yawning and wanted to curse.

What a lunatic! Playing random 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, Chinana-chan immediately became alarmed and asked him what he did last night and why he looked like he had a weak kidney...

Of course, if You Yu didn't want to accompany the president to fight, he could still refuse. It was expected that the president would have nothing to do with him.

The reason why I got up in the middle of the night and ran to duel with the president was because... the bonus was too much.

There is no way, You Yu feels that as a true duelist, he cannot disobey his inner voice. And the deepest voice in his heart told him over and over again that "if you don't take it, you don't get it for nothing" and "If you don't make money, you are a fool."

It is actually true to test the duel system. The invincible Haima Company has made terrible progress in technology this year. Now President Haima is obsessed with developing online card games.

According to his vision, in the future, duelists can call card data from all over the world through the duel disk, transmit it to the duel disk through the crystal cloud network, and directly connect with the duelist's nervous system and link the memory module of the human brain. Then Haima Company's black technology will visualize the brain images in space, achieving duel performance far beyond previous...

President Kaiba stubbornly calls this system "Duel Link".

In fact, although this system is very powerful, it is still unrealistic to completely replace the old-fashioned card duel.

One is that this kind of black-tech dueling disk will be very expensive, and not all civilian duelists can afford it. Furthermore, because it involves the "neural connection" module, the safety factor is actually unknown.

But Kaiba didn't care, Kaiba insisted on completing the development of this system.

The reason... is actually very simple.

Because based on research, Kaiba believes that this system can concentrate and synchronize the consciousness data of any duelist, and theoretically has 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.

Game↑game↓!

Do you think you can escape our fate by going to the underworld?

Wait for me!

I'm going to fight you!

In fact, if I must say it, President Kaiba’s bold imagination has something to do with sand sculpture players.

Because "Connect the World" is temporarily closed for maintenance, it is said to be preparing for the new version.

You Yu was already mentally prepared. After the 1.0 version of the previous life "Connect World" 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 next time, time had already fast-forwarded to version 2.0. , which is the "Yu-Gi-Oh GX" period corresponding to the animation.

When you were bored, You Yu also thought about it, thinking that the connected world 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 is essentially a parallel world, even the people who sent the players here naturally cannot interfere with the game process, plot and activities here, so they euphemistically call it an "absolutely open and free game" , "The official will not interfere with any game process."

To put it nicely, it’s probably because they simply can’t do it.

This made You Yu 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 is no point in thinking about all these things, just make peace with them as they come. Anyway, he is now a part of this Yu-Gi-Oh world.

As you can imagine, it would naturally surprise the NPCs that such a large number of sand sculpture players have integrated into this world, but then all of them suddenly disappear out of thin air.

But soon an explanation spread among the NPCs.

These trolls behave strangely, dress strangely, and sometimes like to gossip and say things that no one understands. They all look 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 is possible. The more they study, the more they feel that dueling is the key to all technologies. Relying on the power of playing cards to transcend time, space and dimensions, it is 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 appearance made You Yu a little worried.

What if one day in the future, You Yu returns 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 plate and shouting - —

——You↑yu↓! I found you! Come and duel!

"..."

It makes me sick just thinking about it.
