Kaiba turned around and was about to leave.

A pair of hands grabbed him.

"Trojan horse? Why... Hum, Noa, you want to laugh at me, a loser?"

From the eyes of his brother in front of him, Kaiba recognized that this person was not his brother.

"I remember... your event called Duel City, and the finals on this island, right?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"You told me yourself—'If you lose, try again.'"

"So what? My Duel City is over."

Kaiba turned around again.

"The opponents you want to avenge are all in the finals of this competition."

"Don't you want to analyze them and find their weaknesses so you can fight them next time?"

"and……"

"Seahorse Trojan" closed his eyes.

The Seahorse Trojan opened his eyes.

"Brother, please stay as the host."

He knew that Seto Kaiba hoped to reach the top of the Devil's Island and personally destroy the last property of Gosaburo Kaiba - the remaining munitions fortress.

"Even if you lose this game..."

"I also hope that we can witness the outcome of Duel City and see the end of that island..."

"..."

Kaiba Seto paused.

After a long moment, he took a deep breath.

"Isono, go prepare for the Duel City finals."

"Yes...Yes! President!"

After receiving the order from his president, Isono, who was wearing a black suit, immediately announced it to the others.

"Duelists, please wait in your room for the duel!

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

Corridors, rooms.

An automatic door was open.

A purple-black cloak passed through the doorway, and a golden light flashed.

"……It's you!?"

Yamalik stopped at the door.

With her back to him, the purple-haired girl sat in the dim light.

Off to the side, a sword rested against the white chair he was sitting on.

"Looking for Lishid? Sorry, he's not here."

Somewhere on the chair began to disintegrate, and little blue lights came out.

"hiss--"

Liva stood up, turned around and looked at An Malik at the door.

"If you want it, come and get it yourself."

"You already know this rule."

Golden light streaked across the room like a meteor.

The "Eye of Truth" immediately appeared in front of Liva.

"Ding!"

With her quick eyes and hands, Liva grabbed the "Star Relic - 'Star Key'" in her right hand and blocked the fierce attack from Dark Malik.

(Thankfully, they anticipated this and had the Siren move Lishid out of the room.)

(Phew… Anyway, I’ve already been exposed to the world of “Star Relics”. There’s no way to avoid it, so I’ll just use it.)

After blocking the Millennium Staff again, Liva used her free left arm to elbow An Malik.

"Gu...!"

Liwa took advantage of the opponent's unstable center of gravity and knocked away the thousand-year-old tin staff with a sword.

"clang--"

The sound of a thousand-year-old tin staff hitting the metal floor.

"Haven't you learned enough of your lesson yet? You still dare to fight me..."

"Ding!"

A flash before his eyes.

An extremely strong light appeared in front of Liva, blocking her entire vision and forcing her to squint.

"Well--!"

Immediately took a defensive stance.

However, no movement was heard around Liva again.

When my vision returned, the room was empty.

Even the thousand-year-old tin staff that had fallen in the corner disappeared.

"He escaped... He ran really fast."

Liva exhaled.

To be honest, she wasn't sure she could defeat An Malik head-on outside of a duel - but fortunately, he ran away.

"Bang--"

The sound of wheels hitting the ground.

Feeling the ground shaking, Liva looked in the direction of the indoor broadcast.

"Duelists, please arrive at the lobby."

"We've arrived at the Duel City finals location."

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

An airship landed on top of the ruins.

Even though it is quite out of place, a building further away stands out even more.

A tall tower stands above the ruins.

"This artificial island is the last of the former Seahorse Company's legacy, 'Devil's Island.'"

Seahorse, pulling his brother, stepped off the duel boat first.

"Hmph, I will allow you to step into the realm I built."

"Kaiba, this guy is so arrogant even after losing..."

Jonouchi stood beside the game and complained.

"Shut up, mediocrity. It's your honor to step into this place with the other victors."

"Kaiba!... Well, never mind. I think I lost too."

Jonouchi shrugged.

To him, things like the tower seemed a bit like déjà vu—but he didn't pay much attention to these things.

Walking towards the center of the island, Seto Kaiba stood under the Duel Tower, gazing upwards.

"This tower is the Duel Tower."

"The winner of the Duel City will be decided there—but, the moment victory is claimed, this island will be completely destroyed."

"Wait, Kaiba, what's going on here!?"

Ignoring Jonouchi's questions, Seto Kaiba simply walked to the side of the tower and disappeared through an inconspicuous opening.

Kaiba Mokuma grabbed Jonouchi who was about to chase after him with an apologetic look on his face.

"Well... Jonouchi, let me explain this."

"As the predecessor of Kaiba Entertainment, wasn't the company managed by Kaiba Gosaburo operating as an arms company?"

"That's why my brother wants to destroy everything related to Kaiba Corporation before this—including this island, to prove Kaiba Corporation's farewell to the past."

"Oh……"

Jonouchi paused awkwardly.

After all, if that's the case, it seems like Seto Kaiba is indeed doing good things—

"But his attitude is so bad!"

"This will let you know that you are facing the original Seto Kaiba."

Siren patted Jonouchi's shoulder in agreement.

"Please, four duelists, enter the tower."

Isono, dressed in a black suit, led the four finalists into the main gate.

"As for us spectators... come on, let's just take the sightseeing elevator my brother just took!"

The wooden horse waved his hand and then ran off in the direction that Kaiba had left.

"Let's go."

"Well, let's go."
