Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

Chapter 238: How about you leave this group to fight the BOSS?
After some twists and turns, the airship carrying everyone finally arrived at its original destination, "Alukar Torras Island" where the Duel Tower is located.

This forbidden heritage place was left by Kaiba Corporation's former boss, Kaiba Gozaburo. It was once the center of Kaiba Corporation's military industry.

The huge fortress where the group of people were before was integrated with Naia who turned into an AI. It was also a military product built here.

After Seto Kaiba inherited the company, Kaiba Corporation, which was transformed into an entertainment industry group, directly abandoned all previous military industries.

Kaiba also built the "Duel Tower" that is now used as a stage for duels on the ruins of this abandoned island.

This tower is not only a symbol of Kaiba's farewell to the past, but also the final stage for the Duel City Tournament knockout round. In a sense, it can also be regarded as the throne that Kaiba has created for himself!

The [Winged Dragon of the Sun God] held by Malik, the [Giant Divine Weapon of Obelisk] held by Seto Kaiba, and the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] held by Yu Ling...

Through the elimination match held in this tower, the strongest duelist who is qualified to obtain three God Cards, reign at the top of the duel world, and be crowned the "Duel King" will be selected from the remaining few.

"Hmph hahahaha...!!! The only man who can obtain three God Cards and rule the top of the Duel Tower... is me, Seto Kaiba!"

The sight as far as the eye can see is a sea of ​​dilapidated building ruins as far as the eye can see.

In the center of this sea of ​​ruins composed of various types of steel and concrete, stands a tall white tower with a painting style that is completely different from the surroundings.

Waving the white windbreaker behind him, Seto Kaiba stepped off the airship first and stepped on the solid ground. While trying to raise his head to see the whole view of the duel tower, he couldn't help but sigh like this.

at last……

The time for me to become the Duel King is finally here!

Whether it's You Ling, Malik, or that guy from Yugi, everyone will be defeated here, defeated by my invincible eyes!

And after defeating them, I will bid farewell to the past and become the "Duel King" of the new era!
"Haiba, what exactly is here..."

Following Kaiba, Xiaobiao and everyone in the group of relatives and friends stepped off the airship.

After seeing the dilapidated scene around him, he couldn't help but asked the seahorse in front of him in confusion: "Why do I feel... does this place look like an arsenal?"

"Humph, a game?"

Kaiba, who was holding his arms in the wind and posing to fill the cup, heard the doubtful voice coming from Xiaobiao's mouth.

After glancing at the people around him, Kaiba immediately turned his gaze to where Xiaobiao was: "To put it simply, this place is the remains of Kaiba Company's past and a symbol of the ambition of my dead adoptive father Gozaburo... …

After I took over Haima Company, I abandoned these creations of the old era and worked hard to build Haima Company into the gaming and entertainment group it is today. "

Scanning the surrounding scene with a stern gaze, Kaiba then announced to everyone with a strong momentum: "As you can see, the duel tower built on the remains of the old era is The place where we will have a duel next! And the person who wins the final victory in this competition will also become the current 'Duel King' at the top of the tower and receive the supreme glory!"

"... Feel honored! Duelists, and spectators who are lucky enough to witness this historical moment, I, Seto Kaiba, allow you to step into this proud field established by me! Hahahahaha!!!
After making a full statement, Kaiba let out his trademark laugh again.

Following this highly recognizable voice, Keipei Kaiba, who had finished his chores on the airship, immediately found his brother and came to his side with the bodyguards in black.

"Huh... Duel King?"

Hearing this special meaning from President Kaiba's mouth, Yu Ling, who was walking with Peacock Wu and Isis, raised his head and looked at the place where the duel would be held next.

You didn't realize it when you were watching it from a distance on the airship just now. When you look closer now, You Ling truly realizes what a majestic building this tower is.

Even with the technology of the world he was in before traveling, he couldn't create such an object full of technology and civilization.

And the reason why this thing can be successfully manufactured now can only be attributed to the black technology of Haima Group.

"Jiejiejiejie... This is really a scenery that makes people feel endlessly happy!"

Dark Malik, who had been offline for a long time, came alone to a ruined highland where he could see the vast surrounding scenery.

While looking up at the military wreckage around him, he raised the corner of his mouth and asked Keihei Kaiba, one of the organizers: "Speaking of which, organizer~~ how do you decide what to do next? What about the pairing members? Are you still going to use that funny-looking lottery machine to choose your dueling opponent?”

"Malik, how dare you say this... it's unforgivable!"

The proud Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Lottery Machine was evaluated by the tasteless Malik as a product with a "funny" appearance. After hearing his comments, Kaiba suddenly had a lingering look on his face. Go to the haze.

Seeing that his brother who was angered by Malik's words was about to get angry, Keihe Kaiba, who suddenly felt a thump in his heart, quickly stopped between the two of them, waving his arms to support: "Well! Brother...compared to For this kind of thing, let’s start the next game quickly, let’s not waste time here…”

"The same goes for Malik. As for your question, as long as you reach the tower, your destiny will be announced accordingly."

"Hey hey... is it?"

With a proud laugh in his mouth, Dark Malik stared at the Kaiba brothers and said, "I don't know anything else, but what awaits you is definitely the fate of defeat!"

"Hmph! I hear you farting here!"

He snorted disdainfully, was too lazy to pay attention to Malik's seahorse, and immediately took the first step towards the entrance of the Duel Tower.

He had already decided in his heart that if the next opponent he encountered was Malik, he would definitely use the powerful God Card to kill Malik in order to calm down the resentment in his heart!
The vulgar Egyptians... can't even appreciate the supreme beauty of blue eyes. What a sad guy!

……

As before, the group of people following Kaiba entered the bottom floor of the duel tower, waiting for the next game to start.After waiting for a while, Isono, a man in sunglasses who once again assumed the role of referee, also announced the next rules to everyone through the big screen in the tower.

Different from the previous situation where the duel partner was randomly selected based on the numbers of the lottery machine, before the official semi-finals, there will be a round of four-person brawl. In this way, the duelists for the next semi-finals will be selected.

Yu Zero, Muto Yugi, Kaiba Seto, Malik...

These four powerful duelists who have advanced all the way from the knockout round will then have to engage in a super melee on the lifting devices in the four directions of the tower without distinguishing between friend and foe.

According to the order in which the health points return to zero, the person who reaches the top of the tower first for a duel will also be determined.

For example, if You Ling kills Qi Chen in the ensuing melee and clears all the health points of the remaining three people one by one, then he will be the last one to reach the duel platform at the top of the tower through the elevator. Then duel with the person whose health points finally reach zero.

The two people whose health points return to zero first will be assigned to the priority group, and the winner will be determined by swimming to zero first.

Compared to the previous state of relying entirely on luck and gambling on character, the current method of determining the order undoubtedly has more room for manipulation.

Since this duel will only affect the order of the duel, but will not affect whether the duelists are eliminated, Yu Ling can even fail directly and choose to abstain on the spot at the beginning.

In this case, the person whose life value reaches zero first will also be the first to reach the platform at the top of the tower.

"Next, please let the four competing duelists each choose a door in one direction to enter. By the way, no matter which door you choose, it will be the same. There will be no distinction between advantages and disadvantages. Please don't worry about this. "

After explaining the general rules of the knockout round, Isono immediately pressed the button on the console next to him and opened the doors in the four directions around him.

Behind each door, there is a duel lifting device that can lead directly to the duel field at the top of the tower.

After Yu Ling and others chose their directions and stepped onto the device, they sensed the duelist's own machine. Then, with a burst of mechanical sound, the four of them were sent into the air above Isono's head.

"Okay... we won't disturb everyone's duel next time. Everyone, let's go to the viewing platform first!"

"Oh!"

Under Keihei Kaiba's wave, except for the four participating players, Yu Ling, Malik, Wang Xiang, and Kaiba, the other group of people immediately passed the upward elevator on the other side and headed to the viewing platform on the second floor.

There are multiple huge screens here, showing the status of each person, and through the railings of the viewing platform, everyone can clearly see the status of You Ling and his team, who have not yet reached the high point at this moment.

After confirming that all the spectators and duelists were in place, Isono cleared his throat and then spoke again, conveying specific instructions to everyone: "Next, I will explain the specific rules of the duel. The cards used by each duelist are all 40 to 60 cards selected for the knockout round... When the duelist puts the card set into the duel plate, and connects the duel plate to the lifting platform through the connection line on the machine After getting up, the cards owned by the respective duelists will be displayed on the screen on the platform."

"The rounds of the four duelists adopt a rotation system. It is the duelist's freedom to attack anyone else. The two duelists who lose first in the elimination round will become the first round semi-finals. Knockout opponents.”

Isono spoke again, adding specific details that he had not mentioned just now.

"Huh? If these are the rules, wouldn't the duel become easier?"

After hearing Isono's words, Kyoko came to the viewing platform of the big melee, raised an arm and said with a smile: "This duel will not affect the outcome anyway, so even if you lose in this game , it doesn’t matter, right?”

"No...you are wrong, Kyoko."

Refuting Kyoko's conclusion, Mai, a well-known duelist, continued in a calm tone: "Under these rules, this duel will become an important duel that cannot be ignored. Compared with the duel itself, the psychological component is Instead, it takes up more factors.”

"Huh? What do you mean?"

For a moment, she couldn't understand what Peacock Dance meant, and a look of confusion appeared on Xingzi's face.

"Hey, let's give you an example."

He held his forehead and realized that Kyoko didn't know much about the peacock dance dueling. After sighing slightly, he explained to her in another way: "It's like, if Kaiba plans to break up with Malik first, If there is a winner, then he will take the result of the duel into consideration."

"Although they are people who do not deal with each other, in order to achieve such a selection result, Haima may temporarily cooperate with Malik to deal with the other two people."

"Huh? Will that Kaiba cooperate with Malik?"

It was completely impossible to imagine such a scene, and the puzzled look on Kyoko's face was a bit stronger than before.

"According to Kaiba's character, he will definitely not do this... I am just making an analogy. This is the same for Yu Zero and the game. If they plan to artificially control the candidates for the duel, then the next game The duel may show some scenes that you don’t normally see.”

"...I see, that's what happened!"

Understanding what Peacock Dance wanted to express, the yellow-haired boy Jonouchi took up the conversation and said: "However, generally speaking, under the rules of 'big melee', it is more advantageous to defeat the opponents one by one, right?"

"Yes, in this situation, the target will be targeted first..."

Hearing Jonouchi's voice, everyone unanimously turned their attention to Yu Ling, who was yawning out of boredom.

After sensing the gazes from everyone, You Ling was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized the information contained in these gazes.

"Isn't it? Do I attract hatred so much?"

Being stared at silently by everyone on the viewing platform, as well as the gazes of Kaiba, Wang Xiang, and Malik, You Ling, who originally planned to destroy him, couldn't help showing a look of laughter and tears.

No, how about you use this group to fight the BOSS?
