Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

He nodded solemnly and said no more nonsense: "Okay."

Since you've made up your mind, I'll now begin the final channel jump charging for you.

"but--"

Kairos changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the four virtual elf girls of different shapes standing behind You Yang.

"To ensure that your passageways are not forcibly cut off during your internal advance, one of these four elves must voluntarily stay behind."

"I need her to use her data resources to help our physical servers build channels faster and maintain anchor points later."

Upon hearing this request, the twin stars who had been closely following You Yang—Kissgeller and Lila—immediately exchanged a knowing glance.

These two mischievous troublemakers instantly gleamed with excitement.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, like two agile cats, as they instantly darted to You Yang's side, grabbing the arm of Ling Shiqing, who was standing silently to the side.

"Hehe!"

"Didn't that pretty young lady just now also express her determination to go with just her eyes?"

Kisskill blinked her bright, large eyes, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"That's it!"

Lila chimed in from the side, puffing out her small chest in agreement.

"Since the passage rejects ordinary people, then we twins will just have to make do and temporarily become her exclusive spirits!"

"Bringing her in is absolutely no problem!"

What a joke!

That would be an amazing opportunity to face the legendary ultimate mastermind behind the virtual world!

Such a thrilling and fun spectacle—how could a Gemini, who always crave excitement and novelty, possibly let it slip by?

Seeing the Geminis' eagerness to join in the fun, as if they were afraid of being left behind, Xiaoye, who had maintained her aloof demeanor, could only sigh helplessly.

She clearly had no intention of competing with these two clowns for the chance to take risks, after all, for her as a member of the police force, maintaining order and absolute stability in the rear was the top priority.

Xiaoye's cool and aloof face remained expressionless. She simply nodded calmly and stepped forward to speak to Kairos:

"Alright, then there's no need to argue."

"I will stay here and help you maintain the stability of the passage in the mortal world."

Seeing that the decision regarding the personnel's future had been quickly made, Kelos didn't say another word.

He nodded solemnly, his slender fingers pressing heavily on the red confirmation button in the center of the control panel, which symbolized startup!

"boom--!"

With a low, rumbling energy sound, the phone screen suspended in mid-air suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling beam of dark blue light, and a virtual portal, constantly spinning with code and gibberish, burst open in the center of the laboratory!

"Then, let's set off!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Kissgeller and Lila, holding Ling Shiqing's hands, simultaneously unleashed dazzling red and blue data lights.

Under the resonance of this power, two exquisite mechanical marks, one red and one blue, appeared and intertwined on Ling Shiqing's fair hand like a magic circle, protecting her in a gentle data shield.

Without the slightest hesitation, You Yang and Lena transformed into two extremely dazzling streaks of light, like shooting stars piercing the night, and plunged headlong into the deep and unfathomable virtual passage.

Behind them, Gemini and Ling Shiqing were naturally not to be outdone.

Accompanied by the twins' excited, crisp shouts, the three figures followed closely behind, instantly transforming into intertwined rays of light and disappearing into the dark blue vortex.

In just a few seconds, the once somewhat crowded laboratory became empty again.

Kairos stood quietly in front of the control panel, his deep gaze fixed on the figures of those people who had completely disappeared at the end of the data channel.

The worry and deep weariness that had been etched on his face, illuminated by the cold light of the screen, were gradually fading away, replaced by an unprecedented and extremely determined look of resolute determination.

Kelos swung his arm down abruptly and roared at the top of his lungs:

"Speed ​​up the cracking process!"

"Don't let others look down on us, the Celestial Arbitrators!"

"We're racing against time now!"

"it is good!!!"

A deafening chorus of responses erupted from the laboratory, followed by a rapid, dense clatter of keyboard clicks.

On the other side, after You Yang leaped into the phone, a pure white passage composed of pure data instantly unfolded in front of him.

As he resolutely stepped into the depths of the passage, an extremely intense, dizzying sensation, as if it could rip out his soul, immediately swept over him like a tsunami.

He didn't know how long he had been lost in the darkness. When You Yang's dazed mind regained consciousness and he slowly opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was in a very familiar old rented room.

The blazing sun outside resembled a giant fireball, hanging menacingly high in the sky.

Beneath the huge, leafy old banyan tree outside the window, the incessant chirping of cicadas, which stirred a restless heat, rose and fell, weaving together a cacophony of sounds.

The long, drawn-out cries of the vendors pushing their carts through the streets and alleys downstairs drifted in through the window on the warm summer breeze.

The old ceiling fan overhead, which had been used for who knows how many years, was creaking and groaning as it slowly and lazily turned, struggling to cut through the stuffy air.

Every detail here is so vivid and delicate, as if time has turned back, instantly pulling him back to that summer when he once sweated profusely.

You Yang stood there, somewhat stunned. He looked down at his hands and felt that the seemingly peaceful scene before him had an illusory yet real quality.

"what?!"

"How could... how could there be two bosses?!"

Lena's sudden, high-pitched, incredulous scream shattered You Yang's daze like a sharp blade.

You Yang was startled and quickly turned his head to look behind him.

Ling Shiqing was being helped to her feet by the twins, one on each side. Fine beads of sweat glistened on her fair forehead, and she seemed a little dizzy from the spatial jump. Her steps were unsteady.

Lena, standing to the side, looked as if she had seen the most terrifying ghost in the world, her mechanical cat ears pressed tightly back on her head.

She pointed a trembling finger at another figure in the corner of the room, her mouth agape in utter shock, unable to close for a long time.

Following the direction Lena was pointing, You Yang frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

How did you end up here?

In that corner stood another version of myself, a lifeless gray-white figure.

There wasn't much seriousness in his words; rather, there was some confusion.

Gray Sun leaned lazily against the wall, casually glancing down at his faded body before letting out a cold snort tinged with morning grumpiness.

"It's probably a bug in the underlying logic of that stupid AI in this virtual world that forcibly identified us as completely different independent individuals, and thus manifested me here as well."

He crossed his arms and sharply scanned his surroundings:

"The situation here is somewhat similar to your realm of mind."

"The current you and I are actually detached from our physical bodies; we are merely a manifestation of consciousness."

At this point, Gray Youyang curled his lip, his face full of displeasure:

"I was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly disturbed my sleep in such a rough way... It's really infuriating."

"So that's how it is."

You Yang stroked his chin thoughtfully and nodded knowingly.

Upon seeing these two identical-looking Youyang, differing only slightly in color, they acted as if nothing had happened, casually engaging in cross-server communication in this eerie environment.

The three virtual sprites standing nearby stared blankly at them, their worldviews completely shattered in disbelief.

Behind the crowd, Ling Shiqing seemed completely unaffected by the strange atmosphere.

She had already silently walked to the window, closed her eyes slightly, and let the dazzling sunlight outside fall on her delicate face, quietly enjoying the sun's gentle warmth.

Looking at her retreating figure, You Yang's gaze softened.

Since getting together with Ling Shiqing, You Yang has keenly noticed a small detail—she really likes to quietly sunbathe like a cat.

"Should I take direct action?"

Gray Youyang gazed at the incredibly realistic walls of space around him, then suddenly broke the silence, his tone revealing a dangerous, eager air.

You Yang turned his head and asked in return:

"Can you completely destroy this virtual space in an instant?"

"No."

Grey Yang shrugged and answered confidently.

Chapter 290 The Pinnacle of Yu-Gi-Oh! Heaven and Earth! The Unrivaled Deck!

You Yang closed his eyes, and gray ripples spread out.

“I need to spend time analyzing the fundamental principles here before I can destroy them at their root.”

"Then there's no need for that. Let me do it."

You Yang's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Since the underlying operating logic of this place is similar to our previous situation, it is logical that there should also be a core objective here that we need to overcome."

You Yang's gaze fell on the tightly closed door, his eyes sharpening like knives:

"Moreover, I roughly have a clue who this target is."

Hearing You Yang say that, Gray You Yang shrugged indifferently, turned around and walked forward decisively, opened the rusty door of the rented room with a click, and stepped out first.

"Let's go, Shiqing."

You Yang turned his head, called out softly, and then walked out.

Upon hearing the call, Ling Shiqing immediately opened her eyes, nodded obediently, and without any hesitation, took a step forward, closely following You Yang's pace.

Seeing that the three of them had already walked out of the room in a swift and decisive manner, Gemini and Lena looked at each other in bewilderment.

They exchanged helpless glances, and then had no choice but to grit their teeth and quickly catch up with the strange group.

You Yang's steps were unusually light, and he even unconsciously hummed a melodious tune.
