Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"At that moment, everyone knew that the world would be different. Some laughed, some cried, and many were silent. I still remember the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, where the guardian god tried to persuade the prince to take his responsibility, and in order to impress the prince, he opened his thousand arms and said, 'I am now the god of death, the destroyer of worlds.'"

"However, I am a kind-hearted person and I hate to see bad endings. Under my leadership, the ending of the story must be solemn and beautiful. So I say that at the end, I must add this sentence to the words of the guardian god——"

"I will destroy the world and create it again." Hayato muttered to himself as he wrote the last stroke on the paper.

Isis, who was standing behind her lover and watching Hayato finish writing his diary, asked curiously, "What anime is that line from at the end?"

"Hmm~ It's a story about a sister-con who has gained the ability to hypnotize others."

"It sounds weird, how come it's like an anime?"

"There are quite a lot of female characters in it, but who can blame the movie "The Love Comedy of the One Hundred Three Thousand Porn Books, the Arrogant Female Supporting Character, and the Unlucky Hedgehog-Headed Guy" that came out in the same year."

"The name is so long. The original name definitely isn't this long."

Isis laughed and complained. Knowing Hayato's personality, she naturally didn't really think that the name he said was his real name. She looked at the diary that ended with a very immature line and felt a little strange. "But, since it ended with such a vague riddle, why didn't you continue writing? Didn't it take you a long time to finish the follow-up of the 'Duel-Links' world, Hayato?"

"It was indeed a long time - it was already 11 o'clock in the evening when I returned to the real world. Kaiba's technology is quite impressive."

Hayato stood up and stretched his joints. "And there's really nothing to write about the ending. In that world, because of the story background of the Nine Realms, the sun is not a real star at all, but just a simulated fireball, not even as big as the World Tree. I used that arrow to launch it into space to find [Ryu Hui Qiao] and the others, and then it was resolved. In fact, if [La] hadn't said that eating that kind of thing might cause diarrhea, it would have been resolved even faster."

"I can't write about how Judai and the others performed 'Eighteen Bronze Men of the Duel Academy' to [Lopt], ​​right?"

Blinking, Isis was a little confused: "If it is written in something that is to be seen by other people, it may be a little violent, but it should be okay to write it in a diary, right?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Hayato pointed at the diary and said, "The public diary is just an act. It's written for others to see, not for myself."

"I see. So the hidden diary is the real diary?"

"No, the hidden diary is a performance that has not been made public. Who would write a diary? Who can write their true feelings in a diary? What is written down is called true feelings?"

Seeing that Isis was quite interested in the world of "Duel-Links", Hayato smiled and said, "The contents of this diary are just random, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you in detail how I reshaped that world after the sun disappeared."

"The line 'I will destroy the world and create it again'?" Isis shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm actually not that interested in adventures in other worlds. I'm only interested in stories involving you."

"You can tell me later when you're free tonight, but for now, let's do the most important things." Isis raised her hand and straightened Hayato's collar. "If you don't go over, will President Kaiba lose his temper again?"

"He's got a bad temper."

He walked down from the second floor to the entrance with Isis, picked up the card box on the shoe cabinet and put it on his waist, which automatically snapped shut. Even though Hayato never needed a card box to hold cards, the necessary decoration could not be left out.

After putting on his shoes and turning around, Hayato looked at Isis who was so close to him and said, "Well, I'm going out now."

Isis tucked the hair behind her ears and stepped forward, responding gently, "Well, be careful on the road."

Then, the distance between the two returned to zero.

Hearing the car door being opened, Keipi turned around and saw Hayato sitting next to him. He looked at Hayato's cheek with some curiosity, which made Hayato feel quite strange.

"What are you looking at?"

"Lip marks? Did you have a fight with Isis, Hayato? Why don't I see any lip marks on your face from your goodbye kiss?"

"Read less comic books. Who would go out with a lipstick mark on their face?" Hearing Keipi's guess, Hayato complained, "Besides, not to mention that your sister Isis has no habit of wearing lipstick at all, how could lips touching lips leave lipstick marks on the face?"

After a pause, Hayato looked at the tablet in Keipi's hand: "What are you reading now? A new manga?"

"No, this is a serious job." Keipi held up the tablet and showed it to Hayato, "It's a professional duelist competition. The results of this year's world championship are out."

"Although Jonouchi and Madoka did not participate in the singles this year, they signed up for the doubles. The Labyrinth Brothers, who used to be sure to win the championship, could only get second place this year even with their new cards."

"Let me see." Looking at the tablet in Keipi's hand, Hayato immediately found Jonouchi, who was hugging Peacock Dance and smiling foolishly, from the pictures and texts displayed, "Wow, his smile is so silly."

"It's not just you, Hayato-nii. Yugi and the others had the same reaction after seeing this photo. Jonouchi even wanted me to help him change a different photo, but this photo was chosen by brother himself?" Keipi spread his hands helplessly and grinned. "Although we can't monitor the situation inside after the incident of 'Duel-Links', brother 'accidentally' heard Jonouchi's bad words about the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] when he was tracing back the data."

"You didn't see it at that time, Brother Hayato, his face was almost red." Hayato also smiled and continued to look at the tablet. He found that the champion of the most prestigious singles competition this year was not a regular in previous years.

Jonouchi and Maiko Konoha went on their honeymoon. Ryuuzaki and Kajiki chose to take a year off to improve themselves because Jonouchi did not participate in the competition this year. Last year's tenth place winner, Maeda Kumazo, the father of Maeda Hayato, failed to advance because there was an important promotion match when he came to the Duel Academy to take Maeda Hayato away. With a choice between the two, he chose to give up the match and failed to advance.

The other players also retired or gave up the competition for various reasons, so that the champion of this year's Professional Duelist World Championship was a boy of only fifteen years old.

Even the caption when he defeated "Thief" Keith to win the championship was "Ed Phoenix, the lucky man who controls the power of "fate" who is favored by fate." In the picture, he held up the championship trophy with his professional duel agent and good friend, Saiou Takuma, who signed him.

"Although it's the Paralympic Cup, the champion is still the champion, and it's better than the Void Champion, right?" Looking at the young man in the picture, Hayato couldn't help but think of a year in his previous life when the "Paralympic Cup" championship, in which all mainstream decks were hit hard, was won by [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. It was at that time and moment, just like this moment.

Just like what the caption said, it's like being blessed by "fate".

Thinking of this, Hayato turned his head to look out the window, and the buildings and pedestrians on the roadside were quickly left behind.

Vehicles drove through the street. Due to the long-term development plan of the Kaiba Group, the Domino City has become completely different from the Domino City when Hayato just graduated five years ago. The best example is the tallest building in Domino City, the Kaiba Group headquarters building, which still stands out like a crane among chickens even though the sky is almost completely blocked by the tall buildings.

For the Kaiba Group, which almost rules Domino City like an emperor, planning the land is no different from building blocks. Especially after several years of development, the Kaiba Group headquarters building, which was built before it was transformed into an entertainment company specializing in the field of duel monsters, is already an outdated antique in Kaiba's eyes.

Anyway, almost the entire Tongshiye City is engaged in "large-scale development", and a building of Haima Group is not a big deal. Haima directly designated a large area on the edge of Tongshiye City as the new territory of Haima Group and then carried out large-scale infrastructure construction.

Keihei was naturally resistant to Kaiba's wasteful behavior of replacing a building that was too old after only using it for four or five years with a new one. However, as the president of Kaiba Group, Kaiba had unlimited power. The final result was that at Keihei's strong request, Kaiba changed the design of the "triskelion building" in the shape of a vertical-axis wind turbine into two parallel twin towers, and then only built one building at Hayato's warning.

However, although Kaiba carried out large-scale development and reconstruction of Domino City, he was surprisingly humane and chose to adopt different development methods in different areas. The river embankment where countless events had occurred in Domino City was used as the boundary to separate the two sides, into the "old city" with relatively less reconstruction and the "new city" that was changing with each passing day - which made Hayato wonder whether he would rename Domino City to Fuyuki next.

The Kameki Card House owned by the Muto family, the Dojino City School where Hayato and his friends studied, the Black Crown Game House owned by the Otogi family, and the villa area where Hayato lives are all located in the old capital and can basically be regarded as residential areas. The corresponding Dojino City shopping street, the Kaiba Group industrial area, etc. are naturally located in the new capital, and now Hayato is taking a ride with Keipi to go to the new capital.

However, although the two sides were divided, even if the city of Domino was expanded a lot, it was only that big. It didn't take long for Hayato to arrive at the industrial area of ​​Kaiba Group. But the car did not stop at the headquarters building, but went deeper to the back. Here, Hayato saw a man-made giant structure that had been erected and pointed to the sky - a rocket code-named "Blue Eyes" with a cyan high-temperature resistant coating.

  (It would be nice if the paint was changed to cyan)

Although Hayato could see the rocket in Dojino City, the rocket itself was not located in Dojino City, but on a platform on the sea. Isono, who was driving, drove the car along the road to the back of the Kaiba Group headquarters building. After Keipi operated the tablet, the wall in front of the vehicle opened to reveal an elevator, which carried the vehicle in and continued to rise.

The elevator finally stopped at a height of about the 50th floor. After getting off the car, Hayato saw Kaiba who had arrived here a long time ago. At this moment, he was still wearing the white windbreaker he wore as usual, and posing with his back to Hayato and the others.

"Humph, you're too slow!"

"It's obviously you who came too early, brother. What time is it now?" Keipi complained, and looked at the time on the tablet. It was still ten minutes before noon. "It's not even the scheduled launch time yet?"

"Private rockets are just like private planes. If they can't be advanced or delayed, then what's the point?" Seeing that Kaiba was really angry for no reason as Isis had guessed, Hayato shrugged, "Especially Sett, who can even ignore aviation planning."

"Humph, it's not that I'm ignoring you, but I've already included the half an hour before and after the rocket launch into the air traffic control time. The sooner the launch, the sooner I can go about my business." Kaiba explained with a cold face, "The Kaiba Group is very busy with rocket launches now. In addition to the card you're launching, there's also the satellite of the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen that's going to be launched later."

"The name sounds familiar."

"That national emblem is 'Leviathan'."

"Oh, now I remember, it's the kingdom where I told you last time to remember to check carefully what the satellite was that was launched."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me." Kaiba snorted coldly, turning his head to look forward, "Since you're already here, let's launch it now."

As he said this, completely ignoring Keipi's mumbling, Kaiba snapped his fingers, and the AI ​​"Ark" immediately transmitted Kaiba's instructions to the distance. There was almost no delay, and the next moment the rocket in the distance began to ignite.

Accompanied by a large amount of water mist, the rocket quickly rose and shot into the distant space. In the cargo hold of the rocket, a man's desperate and unwilling voice came from a tightly sealed card: "How could you treat God like this!"

"I won't forgive you! I absolutely won't forgive you! You damned Hayato Kobayashi, you trampled on my dignity. I will pollute your dreams with my blood!"

"I curse the world! I curse your future to be filled with disaster! When you fall into purgatory, you will remember my wrath!"

Amid the roar of the rocket, the card sealed with [Shadow of the King's Battle - Lopt] turned into a meteor flying towards the sun.

"If you intend to use the sun to destroy the world, then the punishment you deserve is to be destroyed by the sun." Looking at the sky, Hayato sneered, "The final outcome of a man who coveted the position of God but failed to climb up is really funny and tragic."

"The story of the arrival of the alien world ends here. However, the story of the new guest from the universe is just beginning." Thinking of the admission application he received this morning, Hayato said to himself. (End of this chapter)
