Duels should be played with a smile.

Having lived in the original world for almost twenty years, he hadn't seen any girls develop a harmonious relationship with him. It was obvious that he wasn't the main character, and generally speaking, there wouldn't be any obvious situations where he was the one being pursued.

After all, besides being fairly good-looking, my only redeeming quality is that I'm rather ruthless.

However, since arriving here, after experiencing a series of events, coupled with this somewhat inexplicable awakening of his soul, it's clear that the peaceful card-playing life he desired is probably gone forever.

He was forced to accept the fact that he would be embarking on an extraordinary card-playing journey with Yuki-onna, Ella, and Philvo.

Ah, it's really tough (seriously).

Seemingly due to that wondrous awakening of his soul, Leyou can now easily multitask. While communicating with Ella to try to understand the current situation, he also spared his attention to check out the task that finally had explanatory text.

Never mind, it's too long to read.

In summary, the awakening of the soul is part of the same category as the previous inexplicable awakening.

His awakening process is now two-thirds complete, with only the final part remaining.

The system also mentioned one point worth noting.

"Essence, soul, and reason are your original three fundamental aspects."

"I don't know what you were like before, but we can definitely be considered a part of the original you."

Philvo and the Snow Woman also awoke and treated each other with the same honesty.

This is yet another major test of Leyou's spirit and will.

The one who spoke just now was Philo, and it's clear that Philo is also a riddle-maker.

I know, but I won't say.

Only after Leyou herself understood did she begin to explain.

It's very エロ.

It looks especially erotic now.

"So, Ella is my 'soul,' and what about the two of you?"

Ella is no longer as cold or dazed as before. To use a more anime-like term, she is now a typical gentle older sister.

Previously, she seemed to be somewhat dysfunctional because she descended as the Goddess of Despair. It wasn't until she arrived here that she managed to balance the opposing forces of hope and despair, and received a large amount of soul energy, which finally made her normal again.

Ugh, it's always the older sister, always the older sister! I'm so angry and cold! When will the little boy be able to stand up?!

The Snow Woman remained somewhat eccentric, seemingly oblivious to the situation, but Leyou had already discerned from the cunning glint in her eyes that she was not entirely ignorant.

Sure enough, of the three, Yuki-onna was the most similar to herself in every sense and in every aspect.

As always, Philwar is a true boss lady; just look at her code-language punches that could come crashing down at any moment.

Of course, it is always reliable, the kind that can do anything and everything.

“You two are both trash, I don’t need to explain, do I? As for me, I am a part of your rationality, or rather, a fragment?” Philvo said, pointing at the Snow Woman.

So, I'm still in a state of irrationality?

"Essence, soul, reason—this is all so meaningless! What does any of this even mean?!"

The overly mysterious terminology made Leyou want to give up trying to figure it out.

Moreover, the mere mention of the word "fragments" gave him a headache.

This reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the fragment system in mobile games.

Fragment progress [99/100], comparable to the torture of bargaining on PDD.

Why do I have to suffer from fragments even though I seem to have an extraordinary background?

Leyou was too lazy to think about cause and effect, time sequence and other things that she couldn't understand anyway. Without a doubt, the fragments Philvo was referring to were her and the other so-called whispering elves.

After reviewing the remaining two tasks in the system, namely, rational regression and integration and sublimation, it became clear what needed to be done next.

Finding rationality? What Astolfo!

Integration and sublimation? What five-way toraman?!

I wonder where all those weirdos, probably fragments of their own rationality, are now.

"So the question is, how do we get out?"

And once you go out, you'll need some clothes, right?

I can't exactly blur my face, can I? Anyone with a brain can imagine there are plenty of people watching me right now.

If I were to leave in this state, I would probably need to flee this planet altogether.

"You just need to maintain a normal mindset; your power is genuine..."

"That seems to be true... By the way, does this power guarantee that I'll win every hand of cards?"

"That depends on how strong your opponent is... Of course, if you can really regain all your power, you can probably compete with that paintbrush to see whose destined draw is more destined."

“That’s not necessary.” Thinking of the horrific scene Philvo described, Leyou firmly refused.

If you really play cards with Wanchuang, He will probably actually print a card on the spot—no, create a targeted card to kill you.

Following his instincts and using the power within his body that had become even stronger, the idea of ​​opening a portal had just surfaced in Leyou's mind when it appeared in front of him.

It's quite idealistic.

Of course, Duel Monsters and Kamen Rider are also quite idealistic.

Half a day later, the sphere that had been floating above the ruins of the legendary city vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes, and the whereabouts of the Duel King became a mystery.

However, the Duel King's every word and action during that duel has been imprinted in the hearts of many people.

A duel should be kept simple.

……

"You don't seem surprised at all by my appearance?"

"Hmph! Even if everyone in this world dies, you won't die so easily."

That standard cold snort made Leyou quite emotional. After staying there for so long, coming out again felt like a lifetime had passed, but the president of Kaiba's style was still so familiar.

Before coming here, he and Philvo had already extracted the virtual world from their bodies and anchored it in a special place in the real world. This way, no matter where Leyou and the others went, it wouldn't affect the operation of the virtual world.

As for how this virtual world will develop in the future, who knows?

"Why don't I see the game players?"

As the connection between the Spirit World and the real world becomes closer, Kisara now has a physical form and is currently discussing some matters with Filvor under Kaiba's awkward gaze.

"Isis is here. She called the game team over, seemingly planning to send them to Egypt." Seahorse re-examined Leyou. After not seeing him for a while, he felt that Leyou's temperament had changed considerably.

At least he doesn't seem as frivolous or ethereal as before—he used to feel that Leyou was somewhat out of place with the rest of the world.

When the seahorse mentioned Egypt, Leyou suddenly remembered that it seemed that six of the three Egyptian Gods and the seven artifacts were with him.

They'll lose their heads playing that game!

"Then I'll be going now."

"and many more."

With a blank expression, Kaiba pulled out his Duel Disk.

"Ok?"

"I have a feeling you'll leave, so before that, I'll defeat you first!"

It's obvious he's having a card-playing urge.

"Wow, really..."

With a helpless shrug, Leyou pulled out his Duel Disk.

"I'll take the first strike, no objections, right?"

"Hmph, whatever."

The strongest evolved Blue-Eyes, fearless of everything!

A well-prepared second move can even guarantee a 100% OTK (One-Turn Kill)!

This was the perfect tactic he devised to defeat Leyou! He was utterly humiliated by the AI ​​countless times because of it.

But it's all worth it! As long as we can defeat this guy!

One minute later.

"P summons 5 monsters, SilverAsh and Magician Daddy summon a Serpent, is there a chain?"

"The first effect of the Anaconda turns a monster into a Dark attribute, and the second effect stacks graveyards for easy fusion, producing a Lyric Nightingale. Can four Dark attribute pendulums produce two Purple Dragons with a chain effect?"

"You have none? Then you're done. Purple Dragon copies the Bird's card name and effect, costing you 4000 LP each. Alright, goodbye!"

Leyou appeared like the wind and disappeared like the wind, leaving only Kaiba, who had a perfect hand of breakthrough but no hand traps, speechless.

"You wait! No matter where you go next, I will find you and defeat you!"

"Isono, keep an eye out for any news about the Anaconda card in the Duel Links world! If anyone owns it, make an offer!"

If he could turn Blue-Eyes White Dragon into his own exclusive card back then, then he can turn Anaconda into a physical forbidden card now!

Now, it's time to develop a time travel device.

……

Inside the museum in Domino City, Yugi was somewhat speechless as he watched Rakuyu take out all three Egyptian God cards and the six sacred treasures.

"You haven't forgotten our promise, have you?"

"The agreement..."

While Xiao Biao was still reminiscing, Wang Yang had already logged in at lightning speed and placed the Millennium Puzzle he was residing in together with the other six Millennium Items.

At the same time, the three God Cards were neatly placed on top of the artifact.

Wang Yang was quite emotional, not expecting that the agreement they made back then would come to be fulfilled so soon.

When this agreement needs to be fulfilled, it often results in a parting that is not very pleasant.

Where are you going?

Wang Yang's intuition was no less than Haiba's; he also sensed something.
