Duels should be played with a smile.

It's just a joke, so just watch it if you want.

Stop yelling, stop yelling! If you keep yelling, I'll just have to sob.

Chapter Twenty: Enough talk, let's duel!

"bring it on."

Leyou turned off all the special effects, took out a deck, shuffled it, and placed it on his duel disk.

"what?"

Seto Kaiba was still reeling from the shock of what had just happened, but seeing Leyu's actions, he took out his own deck, shuffled it, and placed it on the Duel Disk.

"Since you are one of the top duelists of this era, you will not be easily swayed by words. No matter what evidence I present, it will not be able to truly convince you."

"In that case, let's prove it in the simplest and most direct way!"

Leyou took a few steps back, creating a suitable distance between them.

"Seto Kaiba, if you hadn't specifically come to me, I wouldn't have had any intention of communicating with you. Saving the world is no child's play. Only by maintaining the firmest resolve can one avoid losing one's true self amidst the relentless passage of time."

"But since things have come to this, let's have a proper discussion through a duel!"

Leyou's expression was unusually firm, and every gesture he made was full of unique charm.

Seto Kaiba could sense the will that only true duelists possessed.

"Humph!"

Seto Kaiba once again solemnly shuffled his deck and readjusted his mindset.

"Whether what you say is true or not, I've already started to admire you a little."

A glint of light flashed in Seto Kaiba's eyes; he saw the shadow of Yugi Muto in the enigmatic person before him.

They both shared a similar spirit and a similar will.

They also possess a similar mystery.

"Since you claim to be from the future, then let me witness a duel from the future!"

Hehehehe~

A mysterious smile graced Leyou's face.

"I'll show you, but I don't know if you really have the ability."

"To show my respect for you, I will use a deck that represents my original passion as a duelist to duel you."

"Use your full power! Seto Kaiba, show me your strength and your will!"

"Duel!"

"My turn! Draw!"

[Leyou LP: 4000]

Haima LP: 4000

In card games, the number of cards in your hand is the most precious resource.

That's why cards like Pot of Greed, which mindlessly increase resources, are locked away and never see the light of day again.

That is why the rule that the first player can draw cards will be canceled in the future.

The restriction that the first player cannot enter the combat phase is practically negligible compared to having an extra hand card.

Because many decks can make the opponent feel incredibly good even before entering the combat phase.

After three duels, Leyou's technique of taking the initiative became more and more proficient. This time, having won the first attack, he looked at the six cards in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Activate the Spell Card to create a Golden Goblin, draw 1, and return 1000 LP to you."

[Haima LP: 4000→5000]

Seto Kaiba had a slight look of confusion on his face. He didn't quite understand the point of having a card that essentially did nothing but increased the opponent's base score.

However, since he was prepared to witness the "future duel," Seto Kaiba did not let his guard down. He was a proud, even arrogant, person, but when faced with the unknown, he still maintained a basic sense of "awe," or rather, respect.

Leyou's hand didn't offer many options or much to think about, so he smiled and slapped his only monster card onto the Duel Disk.

"Normal summon: [Dreadnought Dragon - Brontosaurus]".

A handsome white-haired man wearing green high-tech armor and with a long mechanical tail appeared on the duel disk, with a maniacal smile on his face.

[Dark 4-Star Dinosaur Race 1000 Attack 0 Defense]

"Once per turn, if a card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate this effect: Send 1 'Dreadnought' card from your Deck to the Graveyard."

A mechanical tail, at least three or four meters long, reached into the deck and sent a monster card to the graveyard.

Nothing special.

This is Seto Kaiba's assessment of the monster.

As a 4-star monster, its attack power is mediocre, even very low, and its defense power is 0. In Kaiba's opinion, its effect is not particularly outstanding either. One can only guess that Leyu is using a deck that utilizes graveyard revival for combat.

However, the design does indeed have a very futuristic feel.

Just as Seto Kaiba was still pondering, Leyu's next move completely overturned his previous guesses.

"Backcourt, block one, block two, block three, block four."

"Pass, it's your turn." With only one card left in his hand, Leyou smiled and gestured to Kaiba.

"Humph!"

The seahorse silently drew its card for this round, its mind racing.

"Is this what you call a duel from the future? Are all duelists from the future so weak? Or are you just deceiving me?"

The four blocked cards in the backcourt didn't bother Haima; to him, they were just signs of weakness.

In his opinion, Leyou's act of attacking a monster with an attack power of only 1000 was incredibly foolish—unless he was trying to lure the enemy.

“True strength isn’t about blindly attacking; in Duel Monsters, intelligence is a crucial element,” Leyou replied with a smile.

Only duelists of this era could be so simple and honest.

In the original world, if the opponent saw Leyou's opening move, they would probably Special Summon two fists in Attack Position and then immediately use both fists to advance to Battle Phase.

"Then let me witness the wisdom of your future!"

"[Bloody Beastman Emperor]'s effect: If you have no monsters on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Special Summon it in Attack Position."

[Dark 5-Star · Beast Warrior · Attack 1900 · Defense 1200]

The fierce-looking warrior, wielding a massive battle axe, let out a piercing roar.

But before he could even get a foothold, a huge hole appeared beneath him and swallowed him whole.

"【Trap Hole】Can only be activated when the opponent successfully Normal Summons, Flip Summons, or Special Summons a monster with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and banish those monsters with 1500 or more ATK." Leyou explained with a smile, as one of the four face-down cards was turned over.

Seto Kaiba's eyelids twitched, feeling somewhat displeased. A monster with 1900 ATK could deal with most lower-level monsters. Although summoning it didn't use up his Normal Summon, the loss of a monster meant that his Blue-Eyes White Dragon couldn't be summoned this turn.

Unable to execute his aggressive tactics, Seto Kaiba decided to use his invincible trap combo, looking at the two cards in his hand.

"Set one monster face-down, set two backrow cards face-down, end turn."

Come on, attack! Even a deck from the future can only be crushed by his invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon and invincible Titan without powerful monsters!

Chapter Twenty-One: Regret, Ah, what a regret.

The deck that Leyou uses has been modified countless times since its inception. Many of the cards in it have been replaced. The only one that can represent his original intention in dueling can be called the "Soul Card". The card "Tamashi" has always been kept in this deck.

When building and replacing cards in this deck, most of the cards are unrelated to that particular card, except for a few synergy cards.

This deck has been with Leyou for a long time, but we haven't used it very often.

Because you'll actually get into a real duel.

However, once in this world, there was no such worry, and because of the thoughts that Leyou had placed in the card, a spirit that would not have been born otherwise was born.

This Pokémon isn't considered powerful among countless card Pokémon, but most Pokémon don't dare ignore its existence and are even quite wary of it.

It's simply because it's so special.

"My turn, draw a card."

Even without obtaining the Soul Card, the duel can continue.

"Advance to combat level, Liang Long, attack that monster covering it! Uh... piercing attack!"

Unable to figure out how the monster attacked, Leyou randomly made up a move, and sure enough, the monster on the field jumped into the air just as Leyou had said, its long tail stabbing directly at the monsters covering the field.

The card was opened, revealing a huge, spiky sphere on the seahorse track, like a... cell?

[Giant Virus]

[Dark 2-Star · Demon Race · Attack 1000 · Defense 100]

"You've been tricked!" Kaiba laughed loudly. "The instant your monster launched its attack! This trap card, 'Deck Destruction Virus,' was already activated!"

"This card allows DARK monsters with 1000 or less ATK to act as a medium for the virus, causing destructive attacks against monsters on your field and in your deck!"

"All monsters with 1500 or more ATK on your field and in your deck have been destroyed!"

The power of the trap card merged with the giant virus and then exploded, part of it corroding the attacking Lianglong, and part of it splashing onto Leyou's deck and seeping in.

"At the same time, when Giant Virus is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, it also deals 500 damage to your Life Points. After that, you can Special Summon any number of Giant Viruses from your Deck in Attack Position."

[Leyou LP: 4000 → 3500]

One virus disappeared, and two more giant virus spheres appeared on the Seahorse's field. Leyou's deck was corrupted, but Lianglong on the field was ignored by the deck's virus destruction because it was not a threat enough.

"Your deck was destroyed by the virus, while I have two more monsters on the field. Of course, I can use the tribute of Blue-Eyes White Dragon to summon my ace next turn! And you, even if you have a deck from the future, as long as you don't have any powerful monsters... What?!"

Seto Kaiba's smile vanished abruptly. His tactic had succeeded, but the effect hadn't met his expectations, because Leyu's deck hadn't become much thinner.

"Sorry to disappoint you, I don't have many monsters with 1500 or more attack power in my deck."
