Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1528 Darkness Comes
The seahorse crossed its arms and looked calmly at the other party.

“Sorry, but I don’t have the habit of talking to nobody.” Seahorse said coldly.

“Is that so? I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m truly sorry,” Darkness said. “I am Darkness, the one who will bring endless darkness to this world.”

"So that's how it is. I heard there was some clown named Darkness causing trouble. Are you the real one?" Kaiba sneered.

“Say what you will, Seto Kaiba, but you were originally someone I had to eliminate in my plans,” Darkness said. “As long as you are here, human consciousness can never truly unite, and can never truly belong to Darkness.”

He paused, then lowered his voice and said in a somber tone, "Although this time it's out of necessity, it doesn't matter. Come on, Seto Kaiba, I'm going to wipe you out, your Kaiba Corporation, and all those eyesores before the Darkness world descends."

"Forced by circumstances?" The seahorse keenly caught this phrase.

What does that mean? What's the situation?
Could it be referring to the White Dragon III?
White Dragon III was designed as an engine for exploring the multiverse. Was the development of White Dragon III hindered for some reason?

"interesting."

The seahorse revealed a slight smile.

"This makes it even more necessary for me to accelerate the progress of White Dragon III."

Seahorse has always been this way; he has never yielded to anyone in his life. The more others tell him not to do something, the more enthusiastically he does it, and the harder he tries.

"That's why you're so annoying, Seto Kaiba."

Darkness's deep, eerie voice continued to emanate.

"Very well, Seto Kaiba. I'll wipe you out right here, along with the Kaiba Corporation."

As soon as he finished speaking, five cards appeared out of thin air, floating one after another in his withered, skeletal palm.

Researchers on both sides were starting to tense up: "President Hippocampus."

Only Isono, who was used to big scenes, calmly waved his hand: "Everyone step back, the president is going to have a duel."

Iso said it was a small matter.

He was a man who had personally witnessed everything from battles between phantom gods to duelists fighting to the death on the field, and even a giant serpent that devoured millions of souls and tried to eat the whole world.

He didn't take the goat-headed creature in front of him seriously at all.

"Duel!" x2
Haima, LP4000

【Darkness, LP4000】

"Perfect timing! I'll test the new power of the White Dragon, which has been dormant in my deck, with you. I'll go first!" Kaiba shouted. "My turn, draw!"

Kaiba drew a card, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then proceeded to summon a monster.

"I usually summon the 'Blue-Eyes Girl'!"

Monster cards appeared out of thin air in his field of view. After a surge of waves, a girl with long silver hair flew out from the card. She wore a long dress, and her smooth silver hair seemed to glow. Her eyes shone with a blue-green light.

[Blue-eyed girl, attack power 0]

After landing, the girl lightly tossed her long hair and glanced at the seahorse, saying, "Lord Seth."

But the seahorse seemed oblivious, waving its hand and saying, "The round is over."

"It only summoned a monster with 0 ATK, and the game ended without even a face-down card. And it was in Attack Position."

Darkness, who had never seen the Blue-Eyed Girl before, was secretly puzzled. After all, this was a new card produced by the club president, and it was its first battle since its introduction to this dimension. Both the renowned club president and the Blue-Eyed Darkness were somewhat wary of it.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card."

Although she didn't know what the other party was planning, Darkness naturally had to proceed at her own pace.

"Field Spell 'Darkness' activated!" (Anime Card)
As soon as the card was activated, the entire laboratory was instantly engulfed in boundless darkness. All light sources were extinguished, and an absolute wave of darkness, devoid of light and sound, seemed to freeze time in the darkness, and life itself ceased to pulsate.

The momentary stillness was broken only when the goat-headed demon spoke again.

"Darkness is the field of the Darkness world. When it is activated, all cards in your Spell & Trap Zone must be destroyed. Of course, my Spell & Trap Zone didn't have any cards to begin with, so there's nothing I can destroy."

Immediately afterwards, a powerful undercurrent burst forth from the deep, bottomless darkness, splitting into five that landed in the five areas of the Darkness back row, transforming into five black, face-down cards.

"When this field is activated, you can set five Continuous Trap Cards 'Void', 'Infinite', 'Dark 1', 'Dark 2', and 'Dark 3' face-down onto the field from your hand or deck."

However, the order in which these five cards are set is random, and I myself cannot confirm the exact order in which they are set by this effect.

As he spoke, the five cards each transformed into a dark current, circulating and randomly exchanging among the five trap zones, changing the order in which they were covered.

Kaiba frowned. This type of deck is still quite rare, at least.

One field can directly draw out five traps, which is a one-for-five exchange from a resource perspective alone. It is an explosive card gain that is considered foul-level.

However, in exchange, if the opponent themselves cannot determine which face-down card is which, they will be unable to activate the correct trap at the right time.

Darkness: "I then summon 'Eye of Darkness' in attack stance."

The literal translation is "Eye of Darkness." A wave of darkness gathered on the field, transforming into the shape of a tightly closed demon's eye. The eye suddenly opened, and the blue-eyed girl was clearly reflected in its eerie blue light.

[Dark Eye, Attack Power 0]

After opening its eyes, it first glanced at the girl on the seahorse field, then its huge eyeballs darted around and quickly scanned the five face-down cards on its own field.

This behavior also alerted the seahorse: "This is..."

Seto Kaiba has an excellent understanding of the Duel Monsters system and knows that summoned monsters rarely do anything meaningless. Sometimes, a monster may seem to be performing some insignificant actions, but it may actually be secretly activating some subtle effects.

"Alright, my turn is over."

Darkness sneered.

The researchers who had already retreated to the sidelines all felt something was amiss.

Their company president started by summoning a monster with zero attack power and passed the round, but when it was the opponent's turn, he also summoned a monster with zero attack power.

What does this mean? Is it about reciprocity?

"They haven't attacked yet, they're quite vigilant." Seahorse sneered.

Well, if the other party attacks in a very straightforward manner, that's fine too. Let them see what Kisara is capable of.

When Blue-Eyes Girl becomes the target of an attack, she can negate the opponent's attack, change herself from attack position to defense position, and then Special Summon a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from her hand, graveyard, or deck.

The other party cautiously avoided this trap, but it didn't really matter.
"Don't expect me to be polite if you don't attack," Kaiba said. "My turn, draw a card!"
