Duels should be played with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me more?"

“When we were given authority by this world, we already knew how you would get back.”

"It's simple. Just clean up all the mess you've made in this world, and then you can leave~"

"You're quite unique; sometimes, a sentence you say unintentionally might actually come true!"

Despite the sweltering heat, seeing Philvo's obviously amused smile and hearing his obviously problematic words, Leyou felt only shivering and cold.

In that instant, Leyou suddenly understood the meaning of the system's words.

He is not only the chosen young hero, but also a troublemaking demon king who causes all sorts of problems.

Classic nesting dolls.

"Oh no, we're doomed."

The conversation with Philvo didn't last long, because after hearing the condition for going home, Leyou immediately started talking.

To be honest, this world is actually pretty good, really.

Aside from the occasional appearance of a series of bosses, including but not limited to the Great Evil God, Darkness, the Light of Destruction, thousands of Lords, and Zach, causing trouble, as well as a bunch of nameless minions causing trouble, and the occasional strange doomsday crisis, there aren't any major problems.

Don't ask why there are bosses from different worldviews causing trouble. The thirteen secrets that were casually mentioned have all come true. Who knows what this world will be like in the future? Will those worlds with different settings suddenly have a super fusion, and then thousands of masters fight Zack, or the Light of Destruction and Darkness unite to fight against invading enemies?

All I can say is that this is truly an unpredictable stage of fate.

Honestly, if there's not a high chance it will cause him trouble, Leyou is really looking forward to this kind of super fun.

Leyou also discussed the Thirteen Secrets with Philvo, and Philvo's answer was quite subtle.

“We don’t sense each other. Perhaps you have some way of perceiving other beings.”

"I don't know if there will be any special achievements after we are all found, but we can get some help from us."

The implication is that it's optional whether or not to look for it.

Lazy Dog naturally wanted to lie down and relax, but considering that he might need their help to save his life (or cause trouble) in the future, Leyou decided to go and look for them.

"What's next?"

"I don't care, I'll go with you anyway."

The concentration of Leyou on Philvo seems quite high; at least in this situation, his performance is exactly the same.

Turning to look at Ella, Ella was blinking at Leyou, looking just like a mascot.

With two equally tall and shapely older women staring at her, Leyou really felt that life was quite difficult.

"Hey, you said you can control the electronic world, so you should be able to just take over the access to this virtual world, right? And I think in Xia Di's memories, besides this virtual world, there seems to be another virtual world?"

"Why would we need to rob them?" Philvo waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of them. "Do you think that with the technology of this era, it's really possible to create a virtual world large enough to accommodate spiritual beings?"

"This world is a subsidiary world that split off from the Electronic World. We usually conduct our experiments here. Kaiba Gosaburo and Kaiba Noa are byproducts of our experiments. By the way, the Electronic World is the general electronic world. All the card Pokémon from the Electronic World exist in that world. It's a rather special part of the Pokémon world."

Another massive amount of information overloaded Leyou, who felt her brain capacity was running low.

"Forget it, we can talk about the rest later. Let's clear this world first. Can you just send us out?"

Philwell nodded, then shook his head: "Sending you out would be easy, but do you really want to do it?"

"You don't seem to care, but what about them..."

With a light tap of her slender, delicate fingers, Yugi Muto and his group appeared on the light screen.

"Everyone has their own trials to overcome, and they grow by overcoming them."

"Skipping class might feel great in the moment, but what about the make-up classes later... I don't need to say more, right?"

The image of skipping class to play Dark Souls, Nioh, Sekiro, and various other challenging games, and then having to catch up on the lessons after defeating the final boss, flashed through Leyou's mind, and he immediately rejected the idea.

My ability to cause trouble is already at its maximum. Who knows when I'll need Yugi and Kaiba to lend a hand? I shouldn't rush things now.

"Let them go and face Noah directly. While they're 'testing,' I'll take care of the smaller foes for them. They won't miss out on those experience points anyway."

Leyou will not admit that he just wanted to play a hand of cards.

"That's fine, but let's go somewhere else."

Then, Leyou witnessed what true control meant.

The screen in front of them still showed the game's current status. Because Leyou was moving relatively quickly, they had not yet encountered any opponents.

After Philvo casually tapped the light screen a few times, their positions instantly changed, and the group found themselves in front of one of the culprits behind this incident, Kaimania.

Shizuka was also teleported directly to Jonouchi's side by Philvo, and the group faced the mastermind behind the scenes together.

Kaiba was initially confused by the situation, but after figuring it out, he launched an attack on Kaiba and the others according to his new plan that he had come up with in a short time.

Meanwhile, the remaining four members of the five giants were all gathered in one place.

In a huge arena that did not originally exist.

Leyou and his friends, who were just in the coffee shop, also came to the arena, waiting for the show to begin.

However, Leyou's attire has changed slightly.

A set of futuristic armor, predominantly white and adorned with emerald crystals, appeared on Leyou's body, and the helmet also concealed his face.

The sound passing through the helmet becomes as calm and even as electronic sounds.

He looks like a Kamen Rider from the future.

Between the powerful cloak and the skirt, Leyou chose the former.

With Philvo's help, who has control over the virtual world, getting a legendary skin for yourself is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Furthermore, when a person's spirit is stored in the virtual world, Philvo, as the controller of the electronic world, can have the power of life and death over the beings within it.

For example, the four giants who were gathered here were imprisoned by Philvo before they could even figure out what was going on—or rather, their "time" was suspended.

It was as if their time had been paused by Philvo, just like being hit by a small-scale "Zha Warudo". While Leyou and the others could move around normally, the four giants could only wait for the final show to begin before they could perform their final act.

Their play is called "The Future," and their role is to be a qualified tool, letting other useful tools see what the future is all about.

Their performance will only begin after the useful "tools" have completed their trials.

Inside the arena, a giant light screen was projecting the duel between Kaiba and the others against Noa.

Battles in the virtual world are actually very disadvantageous for Kaiba, Yugi, and others.

This is because the card database is set up from the beginning, and the deck is determined before the game even starts.

Therefore, they cannot obtain some non-existent enhancement cards, nor can they print cards on the spot.

That's how it should have been—but Leyou secretly added something to their card database.

Philvo directly read all the card data they were currently carrying in the real world, and was surprised to find that both of them seemed to have secretly printed some cards that shouldn't exist at this time, while Jonouchi was still behaving himself... Wait a minute, what's going on with your feather duster?

After these cards were entered into the database, Kaiba and Yugi, who were strengthened, displayed strength far exceeding that of the original work when facing Noa, and at one point suppressed Noa, who was cheating by printing fake cards.

However, whether it was the will of the universe or the two of them not knowing how to play until they were almost dead, the situation reversed several times, and they fought back and forth. In the end, thanks to Yami Yugi's predetermined 7 draws, he finally defeated Kaiba Noa.

After that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be Kaiba who faces Gosaburo and puts an end to his final ambitions, but...

"This is where?"

"You have arrived, duelists of this era."

Inside the arena, the four giants, now able to move again, looked at each other, trying to figure out what was going on, while Kaiba and his group were placed in the audience seats, watching the upcoming duel with the hidden Isla and Fairworth.

In this virtual world, everything except this arena has been suspended.

Leyou, resembling a Kamen Rider, stood in mid-air with his cape fluttering behind him, clearly a powerful figure.

"Come on, duelists representing this era, it's time to show you a dueling style from the future! After you've witnessed the future, you'll be able to shine even brighter and deliver an even more exciting performance for the audience!"

In the stands, Haima stood with his arms crossed, not uttering a word. Others wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a sound—the mute privilege could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble most of the time.

Upon hearing the word "future," Kaiba's brow twitched involuntarily. He couldn't be sure if the person above was Leiyou's companion or himself, and he also noticed that his younger brother was safe and sound.

Since that's the case, why not witness the duel from the future that I've been looking forward to for so long?

On the other side, a light screen appeared in front of the four giants, explaining the current situation to them—if they win, they will live; if they lose, they will be permanently locked in this virtual world, working year-round without rest, to experience the life of a working person.

The rules of this duel were naturally included in the explanation.

They retained their deck-leading ability, but also added elements of the Master Rules.

At the same time, this is a duel between one against four.

Faced with four weaklings, Leyou thoughtfully made the rules of this multi-player activity the same as those of a hero who fought three Lu Bus, and even gave them an extra advantage.

However, this time, it should be said that it was a peerless Lu Bu who came to mow down four henchmen.

The order of action is that the four giants take turns, and Leyou is the last to act. Moreover, Leyou does not have any advantage. He just chose to attack last, which allows him to attack in the first round.

A few minutes were given for the four giants to discuss and decide on the deck, and Leyou also set up his own deck leader.

A weak monster from the Extra Deck with 0 attack and defense. The effect of Deck Leader is also very simple: it just increases attack by 200 points.

"Duel!"

[Leyou LP: 32000]

"You are far too arrogant! Even though we are one person short, you will surely suffer a crushing defeat when facing all four of us!" said the unnamed penguin.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Ritual of the Resurrection of the Evil Dragon'! We can Ritual Summon 'Five Divine Dragons' by Tributing one of each of our familiar Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and DARK monsters from our hand and field within five turns!"

Originally intended to be a Fusion Monster, the Five Dragons was still a Ritual Monster during this period. It also possessed the effect of destroying all cards on the opponent's field when successfully Ritual Summoned, and the Tributes required for its Summon could be gradually collected over five turns. It was a very powerful monster in this era.

"Witness the invincible tactics of the four of us! I'm going to activate my second Spell Card, 'Ritual to Revive the Evil Dragon'! That way, with just two sets of tributes, we can summon two monsters with an attack power of 5000 each!"

"I offer up two WIND monsters from my hand. End of turn!"

The tactic the four giants just devised was to use their advantage in the number of cards in their hands, combined with the fact that the Evil Dragon Ritual could offer sacrifices across turns, to summon the five dragons. Therefore, all the cards in their decks were prepared to complete this tactic – that is to say, there were no other defensive cards.

After all, in their eyes, the Five Divine Dragons were already invincible monsters.

How can you lose when you have a dragon charging right at you? And there's more than one!

"My turn! Draw a card!" The warrior from the deep sea was very happy to draw a card from his hand, his eyes lighting up.
