Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1602 Barrier Activation
The white helicopter slowly descended, and before it even touched the ground, a white figure leaped out of the open cabin.

The hem of his trench coat fluttered like a cape as he landed in a classic superhero three-point stance. The man slowly stood up, revealing his distinctive, sharp, and piercing eyes.

It's President Seto Kaiba.

Seeing that the president of the club was always so arrogant no matter which dimension he was in, You Xuan immediately felt relieved, and a strange sense of familiarity arose in his heart.

Seto Kaiba, the company president, glanced at him again, but quickly stopped paying much attention. To the president, he probably just thought of Yuugen as some new playmate who had recently joined Yugi's group, and based on his understanding of Yugi, he probably didn't find anything special about him.

President Kaiba always felt that games were his designated nemesis, and he liked them in every way except that they liked to hang out with a group of men and women all day playing some kind of pretend friendship games, which he found very displeasing.

In the president's view, a strong person should be like a lone wolf, aloof and dashing, walking a solitary but elegant path to dominance. He sees the behavior of someone constantly sticking to others like in a game as weaklings huddling together for warmth, which he finds incredibly unpleasant. Yet, he just can't beat the game, which only makes him more infuriating.

“Kaiba,” Yugi said, “you’re here too.”

Seahorse glanced at the three of them and said calmly, "You've actually taken your friendship games to the United States."

Jonouchi's forehead creased with furrowed brows the moment he heard him speak: "Kaiba, I'm telling you, you rascal..."

The game, however, was already used to Kaiba's daily taunts and didn't care. It simply asked, "Kaiba, did you also receive an invitation from Pegasus to come here?"

"Oh?" the seahorse said. "So you are too?"

“Hmm.” Game nodded. “Pegasus said it’s not safe to communicate over the radio, and he wants us to come over and talk in person. Although we haven’t met him yet, we roughly know that this time it’s probably about Doma.”

Seahorse snorted heavily and said coldly, "Not bad, Dorma. A bunch of insects that have been hiding beneath the surface for years have suddenly sprung out and dare to declare war on me, dreaming of taking over the Seahorse Group."

Jōnei was surprised: "They actually targeted the Kaiba Group?"

Yu Xuan also remembered it. In the original work, the Kaiba Corporation was taken over by Doma, who even temporarily locked the president out. Well, that's not surprising, since the Kaiba Corporation is like a bus with people coming and going all the time in the anime, so one more wouldn't make a difference. Besides, Doma has been lying low for many years, gathering many top experts from all over the world, so it's not surprising that someone of his caliber could do this.

"Hmph, those insects have such thoughts, but they'll never succeed," Seahorse said. "I've already found out where their headquarters are; I'll go wipe them all out now. Wanting my company, my group, is nothing but wishful thinking from a rat that's been in the sewers for too long."

"Have you found it? The location of Doma?" The game's eyes lit up.

Jonouchi immediately chimed in, "Alright! These guys tried to scheme against the game's god-tier characters before, we have a score to settle with them too. Let's go, Kaiba!"

Seahorse glanced coldly at the two of them, but before he could speak, everyone suddenly felt a tremor beneath their feet, and the ground began to shake violently.

The next moment, three green beams of light shot up from all around the city, soaring into the sky. Each beam expanded rapidly upon reaching the clouds, spreading like water splashed on the ground.

In no time, the light clusters emanating from the three beams of light had connected with each other, forming a vast ocean that reflected in the sky, like a net covering the city below.

Like a giant container turned upside down, the three initial beams of light served as fulcrums, enveloping the entire city within them.

"What's going on?" Jonouchi asked in surprise. "What's happening?"

At this moment, the Millennium Puzzle hanging on the game's chest glowed with golden light, enveloping him entirely, and his aura seemed to surge with that golden light. Although his appearance and clothing remained unchanged, he seemed like a completely different person from before, and even his height seemed to have increased significantly in an instant.

“The scent of Orichalcos,” Yami Yugi said in a deep voice. “Doma has made his move.”

Previously, Doma sent members of his organization to try to seize the three Egyptian God cards from Yugi. The mission failed and was stopped by Yami Yugi, after which a duel took place between the two sides.

During this time, the person used the power of the "Orichalcos Barrier," and thus the game became aware of the barrier's existence and witnessed the power of that evil field that could extract souls.

"An Orichalcos barrier?"

The city dweller looked up in surprise and was astonished to see the green, shimmering barrier covering the entire city like a dome.

"So big? Is this the whole thing?"

Dark Game nodded: "It's different from what we've seen before, but I'm afraid it's essentially the same."

He thought for a moment, glanced around, and swept his gaze over the location of the initial three pillars of light shooting into the sky. He said, "The barrier was not created out of thin air, but has a specific fulcrum. If I am not mistaken, it should be that specific duelists used the power of the barrier, and the combined power of the three barrier forces created this effect."

In his previous duel with the members of Doma, Yamaki had attempted to use the power of the Millennium Puzzle to forcibly break the Orichalcos barrier, but he failed. The fact that even the Millennium Item couldn't be forcibly broken left a deep impression on Yamaki.

Seahorse frowned: "You mean to say that if we want to get out of here, we have to defeat those three senders, right?"

Yami Yugi nodded: "Probably."

"Hmph, then there's nothing more to say."

Seahorse turned around, swept his trench coat aside, and strode towards one of the pillars of light.

Jonouchi: "Kaiba, what are you doing?"

"Of course, we should break this boring shell and then settle accounts with the culprits." The seahorse said coldly without turning its head, "I don't have any extra time to waste with you."

Jonouchi grumbled again, "Kaiba, you never say a nice thing!"

Yami Yugi said, "Kaiba has a point. We don't know how this barrier will affect ordinary people, so it's best to remove it as soon as possible. We'll leave the one who activated it over there to Kaiba; he'll be fine. Let's go find the remaining two."

"That's true."

Jōnei nodded. Just as the three were about to take a step, they suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

Soldiers with skeletal bodies, each clad in silver armor, their eyes flashing red, and the Orichalcos six-pointed star reflected on their foreheads, had somehow converged on them from all the surrounding passageways.

They were surrounded.
