Duels should be played with a smile.

In short, it seemed as if some behind-the-scenes force was pushing things along, and overnight, all sorts of strange and monstrous things emerged.

However, in the face of a situation that could make some small companies rich while causing others to go bankrupt, Haima Corporation, together with the International Illusion Society, simply issued a vague and even ambiguous announcement.

The gist of the statement is that the events that actually occurred have nothing to do with Haima Automobile, they are all fabricated, and a lawyer's letter has already been sent.

However, when their spokespeople are asked some key questions by the media, they will intentionally or unintentionally imply that duelists can try to duel with those beings, whether in the real world or the linked world—of course, such remarks cannot rule out the suspicion of advertising their own products.

Many people tried it after hearing various reports, but most of them failed. Occasionally, a few strong, lucky, and handsome people defeated those beings and gained recognition, just like in Duel Links. They also obtained powerful new cards. However, none of the cards they obtained had black and white borders.

As more and more people do this, the truth of the matter becomes self-evident. However, everyone tacitly agrees that since Haima has tried its best to deny it, there is no need to expose it.

Many people are selfish. When they obtain benefits that others cannot obtain, they always want to keep them all to themselves. Even if they cannot keep them all to themselves, the fewer people who know about them, the better. In such cases, even if selfless people want to disclose these benefits, others will take the initiative to stand up and deny them or spread false information to mislead others.

Without external intervention, these beneficiaries will eventually form a circle, and only those who gain recognition will be allowed to join this circle and enjoy these benefits.

In short, news about the existence of Pokémon from Duel Links in real life gradually spread among duelists. However, thanks to a series of public relations measures by Kaiba Corporation, this did not affect the upcoming tournament. On the contrary, it attracted more people who were not duelists to join the ranks of duelists. In short, Kaiba Corporation made a huge profit from this.

……

Connecting the world.

Although I don't know how to explain my ability to enter the world inside my own body, with Philvo's help, Leyou has entered.

Upon arriving in this world for the second time, Leyou felt as if she had lived through another lifetime.

When I last came here, this place was just a part of the Electronic World, a testing ground for Philvo's experiments. Now it has become the Second World, a gathering place for duelists from all over the world.

Leyou came here at someone's invitation to have a tense and exciting duel.

Of course, according to Leyou, once the sun shines and the rain stops, someone feels like he's capable again.

"Hmph↗↘ So you've finally come? This time, I will definitely defeat you, and with my fully-formed Blue Eye, I'll make you taste the bitterness of defeat!"

The iconic trench coat and the signature hum ↗↘ both indicate this person's identity.

Beside him, the blue-eyed, white-haired girl gave a slight bow—mainly to Philvo, but also as a hint to someone to go easy on him later.

Having such a gambling addict as her, Kisara could only do her best to help.

"The complete Blue-Eyes? I understand." Leyou smiled slightly, took out a deck, and put it into the Duel Disk.

"If I'm playing against you, this set is better!"

"Hmph↗↘ The invincible Blue-Eyes isn't afraid of being targeted!"

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

Seto Kaiba: LP8000

[Leyou LP: 8000]

With the duelists ready, the spectators naturally went to the side to start eating sunflower seeds.

"What do you think about your partner later...?"

When asked by Philvo, Kisara's face flushed instantly. She thought for a moment and replied, "Seto probably can't beat Lord Rakuyu, but seeing him challenge the strong without fear of hardship is enough. Seto is so cool!"

"Besides, I'm with him! Maybe we can really create a miracle!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this what they mean by 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?"

Chapter 129 What is this card with such unclear meaning?

[Roll Results: Seahorse 2 points, Leyou 1 point]

Please select the order.

"My duel is one of relentless advance! The first strike is mine!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

The new duel board no longer uses the previous system where the fastest player goes first; instead, it uses a roll system to determine the winner's turn.

Generally speaking, it's best to use Xuehua Hui's weapon in this situation, as it provides a solid counter-attack and can finish the opponent off with a single punch.

However, considering that Kaiba has been ravaged many times, Leyou still chose a deck that he liked this time, but whose strength was uncertain.

This is a deck with many possible ways to play (meaning it's easy to get stuck with bad cards), so it really needs synergy. Fortunately, because the spirits in this deck all look quite unique, it won't cause the situation where spirits fall asleep and can't wake up, resulting in insufficient synergy points, which happened with Sky Striker.

After all, a person's XP can be free, but at the very least, they should act like a human being.

Of course, a dragon is also an option.

"Before we begin the duel, Leyou, tell me how much of what you said to me before was true and how much was false."

Leyou was somewhat surprised that someone with an unparalleled card addiction could suppress his urge to play cards in order to inquire about the truth.

Kaiba was undoubtedly referring to the nonsense he had spouted during their first duel.

"How am I supposed to answer that question?" Leyou smiled, glanced back at Philvo, who simply looked up at the sky, looking helpless.

"To be honest, I really want to give you a definite answer, but... I can only say that at the beginning, what I said was half true and half false, but now it's about 70% true and only 30% false. As for the future, it's even harder to say."

The "real" part naturally refers to the relevant cards, since the boss was standing right in front of him, explaining the nonsense he had been spouting.

"You... Hmph, I knew you weren't a good person. Sure enough, only a duel can make you behave!"

No one knows how Kaiba came to this conclusion, but after hearing Leyou's answer, Kaiba's fighting spirit soared.

"Witness my strongest evolved white dragon! In this duel, I will use overwhelming power to shatter all your tricks!"

"The effect of [Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator -] from my hand is activated!"

"Once per turn, you can activate this effect by sending 1 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand."

"Come! Summon the strongest dragon for me!"

The Dragon Ruler, whose aesthetic sense rivals that of Kaiba, appeared on the field wearing brand-new dragon bone armor and holding a horn that looked exactly like the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[Dark ★★★★ Mage 1100 Defense]

After two evolutions, this familiar face has evolved from a dragon-calling flute user into a decent white dragon controller.

The only problem is that his aesthetic sense is still terrible.

Moreover, wouldn't the seahorse feel awkward seeing this guy holding the head of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?

"The second effect of Dragon Ruler: Once per turn, discard 1 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' or 1 card with that card's name in its name from your hand, then target 1 'Blue-Eyes' monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon that monster."

"I discard the White Spirit Dragon from my hand to Special Summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Graveyard!"

The Dragon Ruler threw the white dragon card, which he had drawn reluctantly but had somehow managed to get, into the graveyard. He raised his horn, ready to summon the white dragon, when a bolt of lightning, seemingly capable of splitting the sky, struck the dragon-summoning flute in his hand, shattering it and leaving him utterly powerless.

Leyou revealed the Cyber ​​Dragon in his hand, specifically targeting the Cyber ​​Dragon's own Trap Card, and explained with a smile, "It's linked to your effect, so I activated the Trap Card [Infinite Impermanence] from my hand."

Although it was somewhat unexpected that Kaiba was able to pull out this version of Dragon Dominator, as long as he has the invincible Sebastián, he can't cause any trouble.

"If you have no cards on your field, this Trap Card can be activated directly from your hand, targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and negating its effect until the end of the turn."

"This is the invincible Sebatoragon!"

However, even the invincible Infinite Bubble could only nullify the effect, but it was powerless to activate it. As the cost, the white spirit dragon was still thrown into the graveyard.

Often, the graveyard is more comfortable than the hand.

"Hmph, Sebadorgon, is that the name of the deck you're using?"

The initial movement was blocked, but the seahorse didn't feel anything. Anyway, he had a million ways to pull his invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

This Sebadoragon, however, is worth noting.

"Then I'll play this one!"

"【Dragon's Temple】! You can only activate one card of the same name per turn. Send one Dragon monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. If the monster sent to the Graveyard is a Normal Monster, you can also send one more to the Graveyard."

"I send one Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to the graveyard, and then, based on its effect, I also send [Ancient White Stone] to the graveyard!"

This is a very strong card. The problem is, is there something wrong with your second card?

Oh, no, this is actually the Elf Realm, so it's alright.

Everyone else, including Kisara, is standing next to Kaiba, so what's wrong with imprinting Shiraishi on her?

Someone like Kaiba wouldn't be able to master Synchro Summoning? Card Spirits should just give you one-on-one, close-knit instruction!

"So you're not surprised? And your expression tells me you already knew all along?"

"Otherwise what? I already said I come from the future, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

The Seahorse deck has changed significantly since the previous strategy of starting with three Blue Eyes and a Fusion.

"I cover a backcourt card, then the turn ends."

"And at the end of the turn, the effects in the graveyard also activated!"

"【Ancient White Stone】Can Special Summon 1 [Blue-Eyes] monster from your Deck during the End Phase of the turn it is sent to the Graveyard."

"Descend, [Blue-Eyed Dragon of the Abyss]!"

The white stones in the cemetery glowed faintly, and with the call of the seahorse, strange phenomena appeared on Kisara, who was not far away from him.

A slender and graceful blue-eyed dragon with four feather-like wings flew out from Kisara's body and descended directly onto the battlefield.

[Light · 8★ · Dragon · Defense 2500]

While others special summon from their decks, Seto Kaiba is a bit different; he special summons from his wife.

When Leyou saw Blue-Eyes Abyss, he was a little annoyed. He hadn't expected that Kaiba would even print this card. Otherwise, he would have made a better profit by giving Bubble to this monster.

"The effect of Blue-Eyes Dragon of the Abyss can only be activated when there is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the graveyard or on the field. Now that I have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my graveyard, I can activate it directly!"

"Once per turn, if a card is successfully Special Summoned, I can search for 1 Ritual Spell or Fusion Spell. I add the Ritual Spell 'Chaos Form' from my Deck to my hand!"

"Then there's the second effect, which is also activated once per turn by the card name during the End Phase: search your Deck for 1 Level 8 or higher Dragon monster! I'm adding [Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon] to my hand!"

For the White Dragon, which excels at aggressive attacks, resources are not actually very abundant. However, the Blue-Eyes Dragon of the Abyss, upon its mere appearance, has already gathered all the resources needed for a ritual, which is enough to demonstrate the power of this monster.

What's even more noteworthy is that these are all scenes created by the card "Dragon's Temple".

After doing all this, the seahorse's turn was finally over, and he looked over with a provocative gaze.

This scene wasn't more oppressive than the Ultimate Dragons he used to like, but in the process of developing Duel Link—no, in developing this Pokémon world—he understood more than before about things beyond mere suppression.

At least he no longer needs to rely excessively on the Life-Slaying Talisman.
