The card player needs to win easily

"Shh."

The lights suddenly dimmed.

It seems to be a circuit breaker.

"...?"

In pain and the will to survive, Noa struggled to open her eyes.

In the darkness, something that looked like a colorful star flickered.

——It illuminated the black "tear mark" that gradually appeared under the purple-haired girl's left eye.

Naia: Chapter 98: Blood Compensation

Before darkness fell, Siren saw Liva being hit by the beam from a distance.

Similarly, a green protective shield was seen lighting up from the purple-haired girl as she raised a "Starry Night Dragon".

(Well, it should be alright, right...?)

Siren turned her head back and looked at Kaiba Gosaburo, whose true form was gradually revealed.

"Then next...it's you."

"what have you done?"

I couldn't understand this phenomenon at first.

But after feeling that the surrounding data flow was still under his control, Kaiba Gosaburo regained his original composure and asked fiercely.

"Well...it's just a game."

"Games? Some boring game like what you call 'dueling'?"

Behind Kaiba Gosaburo, the data with bared fangs and claws revealed sharp malice and pointed at Siren.

"How about letting your spirit dissipate under the bombardment of this violent data first?"

"I told you, it's just a game."

Even when faced with a threat that was almost about to stab her body, the Siren remained fearless.

"But before that, I'm more curious about what's in Beckas's computer."

“When he was showing us his paintings, he opened his computer – and it was just pictures.”

"Pictures? Just appearances!"

"Humph—he didn't even want to tell anyone around him this secret! Until I discovered it!"

Siren's words triggered memories in him, and Kaiba Gosaburo even slowed down the flow of data and tried his best to explain his findings.

"You're going to die soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if you tell me this."

"Each of those so-called hand-drawn pictures contains nearly petabytes of data!"

"They are compressed behind me now... Even if I haven't fully deciphered them, the simplest method of use can still do it—"

Kaiba Gosaburo waved his hand, and the data stream became violently agitated again and pounced on Siren.

"——Just let your consciousness be shattered and die!"

"Om-!"

Liquid-like turbulence rushed towards the Siren.

Faint ripples appeared in front of her—then spread to the entire space.

The dark color was instantly filled with azure blue.

The data stream failed to touch Siren's body - the waves rising from under her spontaneously formed a wall of water, firmly protecting the girl inside.

"If you don't follow the rules, I'll be in trouble, okay?"

“…What on earth did you do?!”

Finally realized that something was wrong.

Kaiba Gosaburo was shocked to find that in this space, his ability to manipulate the virtual world and data stream disappeared immediately after launching the attack.

At the same time, the data flow that was blocked by the waves of this world gradually calmed down and moved away from the two of them.

They gradually gathered on both sides -

"Oratorio Divertimento Devil"

"Autorhyme Scherzo Skeleton"

"Autorhyme Canon"

A gleaming army of machines emerged from it.

"This time, the representative of darkness is Orcust."

Siren looked at the panel in front of her that Kaiba Gosaburo couldn't see and muttered to herself.

"——What on earth have you done? Why do you have the authority over this space?!"

"The dark game has begun."

The duel disk appeared on the wrists of both men.

"Set up your deck."

"The souls of the defeated...will be torn apart by the symphony of music."

"……hateful!"

Kaiba Gosaburo had no choice but to raise the duel disk.

He couldn't be sure if the Siren really wanted to do this - he no longer had any control over the situation.

(Damn it… How could she do such a thing?! I should be the one with the highest authority!)

(Could it be Noa?... I should just wipe his consciousness out!)

Kaiba Gosaburo, who can hardly do anything anymore, seems to be able to only play this childish game.

(But luckily, I already had a deck built to defeat Kaiba Seto...tsk.)

Kaiba Gosaburo looked at the card pool that appeared in front of him and quickly selected cards from it.

This process didn't take much time.

"Then, the duel begins!"

--------------------------------

What's wrong?

Liva thought so.

When she opened her eyes, she felt a feeling that was... hard to describe.

Liva couldn't tell what it was.

But… she kind of wanted to laugh as much as she could.

But no matter what, the first thing to do is of course to get out of the capsule.

But, for some reason, it was locked.

what can we do about it?

…She threw a punch.

"Bang!"

“Bang! Bang! Boom!!”

"Hahahahaha! So, so what?!"

In the silent room, a burst of slightly unbridled girlish laughter erupted.

Liva tore open the deformed metal hatch and jumped out gently.

In the darkness, he casually tore off a white coat hanging on the wall, dusted it off, and put it on.

"Hey……"

She smiled wildly.

(A little bleeding... well, is it serious?)

(It can be cured at any time.)

In her hands, colorful stardust gathered to form a "red potion".

The card disappears.

She opened the door and looked around.

(What are you going to do...?)

(I remember I was logged out for no apparent reason...)

(…A bit irritated.)

Liva scratched her long purple hair.

(...Humph, I don't care about what happens inside!)

(Leave it to the Siren—what should I do?… I feel so uncomfortable, I really want to do something.)

Looking up at a broken lamp.

She clapped her hands excitedly.

"Hey, hey, such a huge destruction!"

"That little bastard Malik must have done something bad!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Eyes shine.

Liva decided to follow her current instincts.

Find An Malik and beat him up out of frustration.

...No matter what, it's the right thing to do, right?

"——"SPYRAL GEAR-DRONES"!"

Easy, just slap a card on the wall.

A four-winged drone assembled amidst the scattered stardust and rose up.

"Hmm... Such a useful method, why didn't I notice it before?"

"Forget it, who cares!"

The drone started up immediately.

Invisible light penetrated the entire building, scanning every corner.

Liva looked at the image of the entire building that appeared before her with satisfaction.

"Biometrics... Besides the previous room and the duel boat, are there two more people in the control room?"

"Hmph, there must be one."

She bent her legs slightly.

Like an arrow shot from a bow, it shot out.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The purple-haired girl's laughter echoed through the corridor.

She passed through room after room, blocked doors, and even walls.

Liva ran towards the control room in a straight line.

Use cards to open what is blocked.
