Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

"This is insider information that even the city residents don't know yet—the Lucky Cup, the Lucky Cup competition hosted by Haima Corporation!"

Yego's voice carried a hint of mockery as he turned to Guan Bai and explained with a smile.

"Eight contestants have been invited to participate in the elimination rounds, and the winner will have the opportunity to duel with the King of D-Wheels, Lord Jack Atlas!"

Listening to Yego's explanation, Kanpaku immediately understood what had happened!

In the timeline before Kanpaku traveled, it was Miyakodo who was invited to the Lucky Cup.

Yego and Godwin specifically hired him to activate Izayoi's Dragon Seal power, and he lived up to expectations by forcing out Akane's Dragon Seal, after which he was sent to the ICU.

Looking back at this match now, it's clear that it was a breeding ground for the police to select duelists!

Koji Torado won in the original world, which is why he was chosen by Yego.

Now, because Kanpaku defeated Kuromiya Torado, the duelist who was chosen to be sent to activate Akira became himself!

"So, the police department chose to invest in this underground competition to find contestants?"

Yego smiled and nodded smugly.

"I hope you can participate in the Lucky Cup and test your skills against a duelist with magical powers—the Rose Witch."

"If you succeed, our police department will give you an additional reward."

Yego's statement was exactly the same as Kanpaku's!

He did indeed want Kanpaku to be the one to test Izayoi Aki!

Being used as cannon fodder is truly distressing.

However, for Kanpaku, finding a way to participate in the Lucky Cup was already part of his future plans; he was just currently accumulating strength in the Satellite Zone.

Now that Yego has personally invited him to participate, he has been spared a series of potential troubles!

Although there are some risks, as long as Kanpaku has the Duel Disk in hand, there's nothing to be afraid of!

How could the regent possibly refuse?

As for the possibility of being crippled by Izayoi Aki in a duel?

They came to Miyatoro to expose Izayoi Aki's secrets, and they were the ones who got blown up and then crippled!

Unlike when he came to Miyakodo, the Kanpaku (chief advisor to the emperor) wouldn't deliberately provoke someone.

He was just there to play cards.

Moreover, with the super-hard duel disk provided by the system, even when facing the power of a duel of wills, Kanpaku can withstand it to some extent!

With that in mind, Kanpaku made a decision.

"I will participate in the competition as you said, but I won't specifically target that Rose Witch; I will only do my best to defeat her. Does that meet your expectations?"

Kanpaku didn't want to be enemies with the main characters, even though Izayoi was still a villain at this point in time.

Yego roared with laughter.

"Of course! In fact, your fighting spirit is more likely to ignite the witch's power!"

"We'll arrange your duel. We'll let you know before the Lucky Cup begins, hahaha."

As Yego finished speaking, he habitually let out a sly, clownish smile.

"Now, let's enjoy the next match!"

Kanpaku followed Yego's gaze toward the dueling arena.

The game there is almost over.

……

[Alan Green LP: 2100]

[Sameshima River Flow P: 1800]

It's Allen's turn to play his card.

In Allen's previous turn, he summoned the Scrap Stone Golem.

Using the effect of the Golem, he Special Summoned Scrap Bird to Samejima River's field, destroying Samejima River's invincible Cyber ​​Dragon.

"Activating the effect of Scrap Stone Golem, I revive the Scrap Stone Golem from the graveyard!"

【Scrap Metal Beast】

【Effect】

[Beast/Earth]

[Four-star] 1600/1300

Allen looked arrogantly at the electronic streamer standing opposite him.

Samejima Kawuri had only one Cyber ​​Dragon left on the field, in Defense Position. Although it had a Defense of 1600, it was no match for Iron Golem.

Samejima's expression was grim, just as defeated as when he lost to Kanpaku.

But compared to when he lost to Kanpaku, his face now showed a panic he had never seen before—the fear of defeat!

The host's voice echoed loudly in the dueling arena.

"Good heavens! Under the effect of the Scrap Stone Golem, Allen's Scrap Beast has returned to his field!"

"This is widening the gap between him and Samejima! Samejima, you're already in poor form at the start of this round! Are you really going to lose like this?"

Allen pointed in the direction of the stream at Samejima Island and shouted loudly.

"If this is all you're capable of, then the third place is mine!"

"Battle Phase!"

"Scrap Stone Golem, smash the Cyber ​​Dragon to pieces! Giant Stone Hammer!"

The sluggish scrap metal giant strode forward, and as it approached the electronic dragon, it turned and exerted its strength!

The weight exceeding one ton, combined with the inertia, propelled the giant hammer to slam into the electronic dragon's steel body!

"boom!!"

The electronic dragon burst forth and scattered.

In this way, there were no more obstacles on Samejima River's field!

Allen waved his left hand.

"Scrap Metal Beast, attack Samejima River Flow directly! Swift Charge!"

The golden-white figure swiftly flashed across the battlefield, slamming into Samejima Kawuri with a whirlwind of air.

Samejima River LP: 1800→200

"Ugh!"

Samejima let out a painful scream as it was violently slammed into the scrap metal body of the Scrap Metal Beast and crashed to the ground like a sandbag.

It's not that he couldn't bear the pain.

It was his heart that was aching!

Allen saw all of this negative behavior in him.

If Samejima Kawakuri continues to be so demoralized, he might actually pull off an upset and take third place!

But Allen just felt uncomfortable, with a kind of annoyance that even if he won like this, he wouldn't be too happy.

He couldn't understand why he felt this way, and ended the round somewhat irritably.

"My turn is over!"

Samejima River Flow's turn begins.

Even though it was already his turn to draw cards, he had just struggled to get up from the ground.

In the VIP stands, Guan Bai frowned as he looked at Jiaodao.

That confident, aloof young man had become such a disheveled figure.

This guy, who always hypnotized himself, revealed his vulnerable inner self after losing the shell of the illusion that "I am the winner".

He was far from being as at ease as he had imagined; his worries and burdens were too heavy.

The pressure to revitalize the electronic flow dojo had always weighed on Samejima's mind.

This burden has become a complete shackle that is weighing down his fighting spirit!

Samejima Kawuri placed his hand above his deck, his eyes were already closed, and his whole body was trembling.

Samejima Kawuri dared not face his own deck.

Even drawing cards is so difficult for him now.

Samejima has realized that he is not a duelist who can always win.

Unlike his predecessor, Kaiser Ryo, who could easily win victory after victory in the arena, he couldn't.

However, the entire domain of electron flow is maintained within oneself!

Master is getting old, and there are no successors in the temple. The light of the electronic flow may very well be extinguished in this D-cycle era!

He cannot afford to fail again.

However, he could no longer be certain of his victory!

If he fails to win this time, he will surely lose his fighting spirit as a duelist!

These thoughts seemed to transform into chains, with countless iron balls hanging from his right hand.

He seems to be having trouble drawing any cards!
