Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

However, since Yami Yugi and Hayato had long suspected Kaiba's relationship with the Kaiba-man, even if Kaiba transformed into the Kaiba-man in front of her and so many soldiers, Isis felt that no one would be surprised.

"He's here! It's Kaiba-man, the ally of justice!" "He's come to help us again!" "I'm so curious, who exactly is Kaiba-man?"

Several soldiers in the ranks behind Isis, who had witnessed Dark Game's battles, spoke excitedly.

However, the commotion behind him did not affect Kaiba in the slightest. Based on his prediction, he slammed his fist hard into the face of Seth, who, for some reason, dared to approach him without summoning a monster. After kicking up dust, Kaiba did not stop. He pressed Seth's head down with one hand and dragged him to the ground, slamming him hard into the steps in front of the throne that Seth had just stepped down from!

"boom!"

A violent impact struck, and the golden steps crumbled with countless spiderweb-like cracks. While it was uncertain whether the physical prowess of the ancients had reached the level of a mediocre person like Jonouchi, having already smashed such a large rock with Set's head, he was certain the ancients were dead.

Just as the seahorse was thinking this, an arm suddenly emerged from the smoke beneath him and casually draped over his shoulder, and then a fist grew larger and larger in his line of sight!

"Oh!"

The sudden punch sent Kaiba flying, rolling twice on the ground before coming to a stop. He looked in astonishment at the smoke surrounding Seth. From within, Seth, wearing the same bodysuit and trench coat as Kaiba, and even a helmet that was strangely identical, stood up unharmed: "How is this possible!?"

"Ah~ Power is surging~" Raising his hand to stroke his body, feeling the long-awaited power flowing through him, Seth pointed at the seahorse, "Power, I need more power!"

Chapter 817 features the same type of spirit.

Previously in the Thieves' Village, Kaiba had Maric take the Millennium Jewels, attempting to awaken the spirit within him using the power of the Millennium Items, as Hayato had suggested.

The final result can be described as both a success and a failure, because in Kaiba's own mind, there was only one Pokémon he could awaken, and that was the invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon. There was absolutely no other possibility. He couldn't possibly awaken the mediocre Red-Eyes Black Dragon, could he?

However, when the power of the Millennium Jewelry fell upon Kaiba, it gave birth to a form called "Kaiba-man," which resembled a superhero transformation.

If you were to ask Kaiba's first reaction, it would naturally be one of utter bewilderment. After all, Seto Kaiba had always used powerful and cool dragon monsters, so how did he awaken a spirit that looked like a warrior and was even equipped on him?

It's as ridiculous as having a Dragon-type Elite Four member's team full of Flying-types!

However, considering that the helmet in "Kaiba-man" form looks a lot like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Kaiba eventually accepted the reality that his Pokémon had this appearance, and finally named it "Partner of Justice - Kaiba-man".

Of course, it's one thing for Kaiba to accept this identity, but it's another to whether he's willing to show it to others. Despite repeatedly appearing as "Kaiba-man" in front of Hayato, Yami Yugi, and the others, he has no intention of revealing his true identity to them.

As for whether the game developers would guess that "Kaiba Man" is "Seto Kaiba," ha, impossible, absolutely impossible.

Unless absolutely necessary, Kaiba didn't want to reveal his identity to Isis. Hmph, although he didn't turn around, I bet she was quite shocked.

but---

"What is that?" Looking at Seth, Kaiba took a deep breath. "It's exactly the same?"

"Because of those rebels who disobeyed my orders, my gladiator disk was destroyed. Although it's possible to take the gladiator disks that Xia Da and Simon, who are imprisoned, aren't wearing, there's no need for that."

"The power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, comparable to that of a god, resides within me, manifesting as this outfit, granting me the immense power I've always dreamed of," Seth said calmly, looking at Kaiba. "Whether it's speed, precision, destructive force, or endurance, I am now beyond the level of ordinary humans!"

As he spoke, Seth charged forward and attacked the seahorse. The seahorse immediately punched back, and their fists collided for only a second before quickly separating. Neither of them could gain the upper hand, and they seemed to be evenly matched.

Subsequently, several punches of equal force were thrown by Kaiba and Seth together, colliding with each other. The punches, leaving afterimages, made people feel as if both of them had multiple arms. The recoil from the repeated punches did not affect the two of them in the slightest. Instead, the ground beneath their feet was cracked and shattered.

After four or five seconds, although Haiba never acted like a student, he still lacked much more fighting experience than Seth, who had commanded armies for many years. Seth seized an opening and delivered a low kick to his leg, sending him flying backward again, giving Seth the advantage.

However, Seth did not press his advantage. Instead, he stood there with great interest and said arrogantly, "Too slow, too slow. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the strongest being. Even if it is not using its own power, its form, the power and speed it can exert are still above yours!"

"Hmph, it seems to be the same type of Pokémon as my [Kaibaman]. Although its range of movement is not large, its movements are powerful and precise."

Seeing the seahorse stand up from the ground, seemingly unharmed despite being hit, Seth said somewhat nonchalantly, "I've already tested it on those who tried to assassinate me, but the difference in power couldn't really demonstrate just how powerful the Blue-Eyes White Dragon truly is. I'd really like to compare how much stronger it is compared to your Pokémon."

"Well, we know the result even without trying."

Seahorse looked at Seth and took a deep breath.

He didn't believe in superstitious things like reincarnation and souls, but this guy Seth was similar to him in other ways, and now even the spirit power he was using was exactly the same as his own [Seahorse Man].

What bothers me even more is that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon actually exists in this era? Damn it, why isn't the Blue-Eyes White Dragon mine!

Before Seth's betrayal, he had never shown this side of himself. Where did he obtain the power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from? If we rule out the possibility of it being from the Netherworld Tablet in the Thieves' Village, could he have obtained the power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the Royal City?

In this royal city, there was only one person that Kaiba cared about the most: the white-haired woman he had glimpsed when he first arrived. He had approached the dungeon near the palace after sensing the aura of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and happened to see Set carrying the white-haired woman away.

Although I couldn't quite understand the connection between the magnificent, graceful, powerful, and elegant Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a woman, sometimes the most impossible things are the most likely. Perhaps that woman...

With these thoughts in mind, Seth and Kaiba became inseparable. Although they were just mortals, both possessed by the power of spirits, they unleashed their power on each other as if powerful spirits themselves had descended.

The fight between the two who clashed again shattered a large area of ​​the square. A few minutes? No, just a few breaths. It was as if two storms had met, or as if two giant dragons were actually fighting in the square.

On the palace terrace, the white-haired girl Kisara leaned weakly against the railing, looking worriedly at the seahorse and Seth below.

“Another Seth?” Kisara muttered to herself with some doubt, then shook her head, denying her own guess. “No, it feels a little different. But the power in that person is definitely ‘me’.”

“But, Seth’s condition…” Glancing at the two still struggling on the ground, Kisara mustered her courage, climbed onto the terrace, and jumped forward.

Below, Seth and Kaiba continued their attack, their boosts being almost identical, resulting in identical speed, destructive power, and precision. Having learned from Seth's earlier mistake, Kaiba had now learned his lesson, leading to a stalemate between the two, whose abilities were almost identical, with neither gaining the upper hand.

However, as the fight dragged on, Seth eventually found an opening. After deflecting a barrage of attacks with one hand, he swiftly swung his fist, then decisively struck with his other hand, aiming straight for Seahorse's face. Seahorse, of course, noticed the attack and immediately reached out to block it.

Fool! How could you possibly withstand my powerful strike?

With a smug smile, Seth saw his gauntlets begin to disintegrate the moment his fist made contact with Seahorse's arm.

Oh no, this is terrible! My power has reached its limit!?

Unlike Kaiba, whose power is directly supplied by himself, Seto's power comes from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that Kisara has transformed into. Although he can exert the same intensity in most situations, his sustainability is far inferior.

Ordinary enemies are no problem, as such powerful forces can eliminate them in an instant. However, Kaiba is clearly different. He has pushed Seth's power to its limit and is now barely able to maintain this state similar to that of [Kaiba Man]!

Not only the arm armor, but even Set's trench coat began to revert to its original robe, and his helmet gradually became transparent, revealing the surprised expression on Set's face.

Kaiba, of course, wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. He easily blocked Seth's relatively weak punch without any boost and retaliated with a full-force, serious punch.

but---

"Bang!" "Boom!"

Just as Seth was about to be hit by Kaiba, a huge figure swooped down from high in the sky, knocking Kaiba away and then unleashing a breath attack that temporarily suppressed him, preventing Kaiba from immediately pursuing Seth.

After the two consecutive attacks knocked Kaiba back a certain distance, the enormous figure flew back to Seth's side, as if checking to see if he was alright. Kaiba, covered in dust and grime, struggled to his feet and finally recognized the massive figure.

With its pristine white scales, long and powerful body, graceful wings, beautiful face, and striking blue eyes that exuded both elegance and charisma, the seahorse recognized the Blue-Eyes White Dragon instantly. It needed to drink a cup of warm milk before bed each night and then gaze at the other creature for twenty minutes to achieve a peaceful, almost childlike sleep.

"[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]..." Kaiba clenched his fists as he looked at the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] that had landed beside Seth. He should have had the upper hand this time, so why did he have this strange feeling that he was the loser?

After Kisara transformed into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and forced Kaiba back, Seth, facing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon who came to his side, had an angry expression: "Damn it, my power is still not enough at the crucial moment. Hey, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, give me more power!"

“No, wait a minute.” Seth glanced at the seahorse, thought for a moment, and changed his mind. “No need to give me any power. This time, you can go. [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], take down that guy for me.”

'Seth...' Upon hearing Seth's words, Kisara, who had transformed into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, was also taken aback.

Seth seemed to notice Kisara's hesitation and frowned, saying, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, what are you waiting for? That person is my enemy. Are you just going to watch me get killed?"

Upon hearing that Seth seemed to be ordering the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to attack him, Kaiba, though unsure why the Blue-Eyes White Dragon hadn't attacked immediately, was about to stand up as he needed to prepare.

However, as the seahorse stood up, his helmet seemed to have succumbed to the impact, cracking in several places before shattering with a "crack," revealing a gap.

The power Seth received from Kisara had indeed reached its limit, but if he could have held on for even a few more seconds, the situation would have changed. Kaiba's transformation into [Kaiba-man] originated entirely from Kaiba himself; whether it was the stamina or magic power he had expended, after a series of battles, he felt he was nearing his limit.

But we can't lose yet, at least not now, at least we can't lose to that Seth.

Glancing behind him, Kaiba took a deep breath, stood up again, and faced Seth and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside Seth.

Even if Seth were to obtain the power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, there's no reason why if he could obtain it, I couldn't. Furthermore, I don't believe my power is limited to this; there must be other powers slumbering deeper, waiting for me to awaken them.

The seahorse raised its hand and swung it forward sharply: "Answer my call, my glory! My Tamashi!!"

"Blue-Ace-Tilted-Head-Dragon!!!"

On Kaiba, all the other changes from his transformation into [Kaiba-man] faded away; his white cape returned to its tattered state, his arm armor disappeared, and his helmet shattered completely. Apart from that, there seemed to be no other changes.

Hearing Kaiba suddenly call out the name of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," Seth raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Hmph, fool! Do you think you can get a response from a Pokémon just by shouting loudly? Especially since you're calling out 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' it's utterly ridiculous—"

Seth was speaking when the Blue-Eyes White Dragon suddenly became excited and turned to look at Kaiba. Behind Kaiba, what was initially just a phantom was gradually filled in, revealing a form identical to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"No, impossible! That's... the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!?" Seth's eyes widened, almost as if he had just seen himself wearing the Seahorse Man outfit.

“You just said that your power comes from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, right? I’ve been wondering why the Blue-Eyes White Dragon’s power behaves exactly the same as the Seahorse Man’s.” Kaiba lowered his hand, looked at Seth with a surprised expression, and smiled. “Although it sounds unbelievable, once you remove the other answers, what’s left is the only truth.”

"That's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It seems she's always been by my side, but I might be a bit too slow to react, and I only realized her presence now."

"Same type of Pokémon... Tch, so what? Even if you're both Blue-Eyes, I don't think you can beat me!" Seth said angrily. "Anyone who gets in my way must die!"

"You're the one who should die, you demon!"

Their eyes met, and Seth and Kaiba shouted in unison, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Burst Stream of destruction!" X2

Chapter 818 Entertainment Program

"Burst Stream of destruction!" X2

Without any instruction, Seth and Kaiba shouted out the same attack name.

Behind them, two identical Blue-Eyes White Dragons stared at each other and unleashed their attacks.

The torrents of light collided and were evenly matched. At the same time, Kisara, who had transformed into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, received a response from the other Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and they had a brief but profound exchange on a spiritual level.

'Is this how it is? This is the world, and the real me is already...'

"I see. I understand your situation now."

'However, Seth's situation is making me uneasy.'

'No, I know Seth is very abnormal now. He's become a completely different person under the influence of that dark power, but even so, I still...'

'At the very least, I can't just watch Seth continue making mistakes.'

The communication, which could only be heard by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, was interrupted. Just like the battle between Kaiba and Seth, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Seth were evenly matched in terms of power, making it impossible to determine who was superior.

The opposing breaths of light abruptly ceased, followed by a violent explosion at the point of energy intersection. Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Kisara each shielded Seth and Kaiba, pulling them back a distance to avoid being engulfed by the blast. Seeing this, both Kaiba and Seth were somewhat annoyed that they hadn't been able to defeat their opponent.

"Hmph, just a hair's breadth away." X2

"Hey, don't mimic me!" x2

After saying a few words in unison, Seth and Kaiba realized they had a subtle understanding with the annoying guy opposite them, and decisively shut up at the same time.

Kaiba: 'Even the invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon,'

Seth: 'Because the opponent is also a [Blue-Eyes White Dragon],'

Seahorse: 'So, it can only be a close contest?'

Seth: 'So, in the end,'
