The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

"【Inaba no Shiro Usagi】This monster can only attack the opponent's player directly if there is a monster on the opponent's field, and it attacks directly!"

The white rabbit hugged the pestle containing the jetpack tightly and then charged towards the direction of the game.

"Wash the motor!!"

""game!!""

Wang Yang and his companions were all taken aback by this ability.

However, just as it was about to crash into the game...

"Come here, [Kuriball]!"

The game suddenly made a shout.

“Curry, Curry…”

Countless chestnut balls formed a wall, blocking the path of the white rabbit.

The white rabbit that couldn't get through had to return the way it came.

"The attack failed!? Why is that...?"

Upon seeing this, Naya stood there dumbfounded.

The game then explained to him, "This is because of the effect of my deck leader, Kuriboh, which allows the player to automatically block attacks when facing a crisis."

"Block attack..."

"That's right, simply put, it means making the combat damage of that attack zero without any cost."

This refers to the situation where the White Rabbit's attack just failed.

"What? A game... I thought you were really going to lose, you scared me..."

His companions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, I'm sorry everyone, I made you worry."

The game player apologized sheepishly.

"Hmph! So everything was still within your calculations at the very end!? Yugi Muto! You truly are a worthy opponent I acknowledge!"

President Kaiba remained as arrogant as ever, praising the company from the sidelines.

"How could this be... I actually lost, I was so close..."

Naia became somewhat lost in thought.

But it was precisely at this crucial moment that he failed to break through.

Moreover, he was so engrossed in playing cards that he forgot he could use hostages to threaten the game.

"My turn!"

The game abruptly ended the opponent's turn.

The white rabbit immediately transformed back into a card, but Noah was still in a daze and didn't catch the card, so it fell to the ground.

"Go! I'll use [Gaia, the Dark Knight of Gale] to attack you directly, Spiral Shot Kill!"

This time, the MVP shot hit Naia with a single shot, completely depleting his health points.

[Haima Nia: LP2100→0]

......

Afterwards, Naia, who was still keeping her promise, reluctantly released the thousand-year-old hostage, who was the president's younger brother, Keihei.

However, Noah was still unwilling to accept defeat after losing the game.

He then turned his attention to the president, challenging him on the condition that he release everyone out of the virtual space.

Of course, having watched the duel between Yugi and Noah, and knowing Noah's deck composition and the full effects of some cards, the president, who was prepared, also gave Noah a sound beating in the later duel.

And so, a young boy lost his dream.

Chapter Fifty-Three: Back to Reality

After President Kaiba defeated Noa, the atmosphere in the virtual space where everyone was suddenly gloomy.

At this moment, ominous dark clouds appeared in the sky, obscuring the blue sky.

Then, the face of a middle-aged man appeared in the dark clouds above everyone's heads.

"You've disappointed me so much, Naia!"

Upon hearing that stern voice, the club president's expression changed drastically: "Impossible! That voice is..."

Noa instinctively looked in the direction the voice came from: "Dad..."

"Gozaburo!"

The reactions of the three Kaiba brothers clearly show that the man is Kaiba Gosaburo, the father of Noa, who adopted the two brothers who were the company presidents, but was eventually driven out of Kaiba Corporation by the "filial" president and had everything taken away from him.

However, it seems that Naia was also kept in the dark: "Why is Daddy here? Daddy should be dead..."

Gosaburo glanced at Noa, then continued, "I am dead. My body is indeed dead, but my spirit is not."

"As I was dying, I used the device that was tested on Noah back then to transfer all my memories to the computer and was resurrected as a virtual being."

Hearing this, Naia's face lit up with joy: "I've missed you so much, Dad! I've always been all alone..."

“You are no longer of use, Naia.”

Gosaburo spoke coldly, as if he were recounting something insignificant.

Naia's smile froze instantly.

"Enough with the farce! Alright, just say it! Gosaburo, tell me about your foolish scheme!"

Listening to their conversation, the president was already getting impatient.

"You're still the same as ever, still so aggressive, Seto... Fine, I'll tell you everything."

After that, Gosaburo began to recount all his plans from before his death to the present.

......

In order to allow his biological son Noa, who died in an accident, to continue living, Gosaburo turned Noa into a virtual AI to exist as Gosaburo's will.

However, during later experiments, it was discovered that Naia had thoughts of destroying the world, which conflicted with the values ​​of Gosaburo, a businessman. As a result, Gosaburo gave up on continuing to raise his son.

As for the later adoption of the two brothers, the president and his brother, it was not to test Noah, but simply to prepare a vessel for Noah.

"That's so unfair..."

Such scumbag remarks made others understand why the president hated him so much.

This led to the later incident where the president took over the Kaiba Corporation from Gosaburo.

Then, on his deathbed, Gosaburo copied all his memories into a computer. In order to take revenge on the president, he planned to steal the latter's body, revive himself, and take back Kaiba Corporation.

Later, he felt that he no longer needed it and instead planned to hack into the world's networks, preparing to manipulate the world at will.

At the same time, the virtual space was sealed off, trapping everyone inside.

This is Gosaburo's entire plan.

......

After speaking, Gosaburo disappeared.

"How could this happen? I was just used...?"

Upon hearing that she was merely a tool, Noah collapsed to her knees in a daze, her worldview utterly shattered.

“Naya…”

Seeing Naia's dejected state, Guiping couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Her attitude towards this brother, who was not related to her by blood, changed.

After losing to the game and the club president in a row while playing cards, Noa had already started to doubt her life. Later, she was abandoned by her own father, which completely turned Noa, who was originally a grumpy and unruly child, into a withdrawn person.

At this moment, taking advantage of his current empty and lonely state, Yugi used his invincible persuasive skills to completely transform Noah into a positive and good child under Yugi's deeply moving words.

While Noa was still wavering, Guiping added insult to injury: "Come back with us, Noa! Even if you don't have Gosaburo, you still have me and your brother!"

"Once we return to reality, I can ask my brother to have someone create a body to house your consciousness. With the technology of the Seahorse Corporation, they can definitely create a very sophisticated android. You agree, right, brother?"

After saying that, he turned back and winked at the president.

"Hmph!"

The president crossed his arms and said nothing, indicating his tacit approval.

So, after everyone's sweet talk, and under Guiping's watery, innocent gaze, a twisted father-complex was completely transformed into a brother-complex.

Oh my god! (Audience applauds)

......

After being exonerated, Naia led everyone quietly to the backup exit where they could leave the virtual space.

However, Gosaburo eventually noticed something was wrong, and his true form blocked the exit door. The company president had no choice but to play a game of cards with Gosaburo. (As expected, playing cards is the ultimate truth.)

Then, the old-fashioned guy who couldn't keep up with the times was defeated by the president.

Although Gosaburo's use of the Exodia deck during the duel startled the president, who had a psychological trauma, he still won the duel in the end because he was playing the Exodia Minions deck, which was not the orthodox style.

Of course, in the very end, Gosaburo still resorted to cheating, attempting to destroy everyone's consciousness.

Fortunately, the game once again unleashed the true Five Elders, who reduced Gang Sanlang to ashes, preventing this big boss from surviving even a single chapter.

With the biggest obstacle finally gone, everyone was able to return to reality smoothly.

Chapter 54 Exodia's Approval

The glass door of the capsule opened quickly, and the game, now awake, opened its eyes.

Then he turned to look at the row of capsules next to him, and his other companions woke up one after another.

"My other self, and everyone else... are all safe and sound, that's wonderful..."

The game ended with the player relaxing and lying back down.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, AIBO."

This time, Wang Yang didn't lift a finger; he just watched the game unfold.

"By the way, AIBO, what kind of card are you holding?"

Wang Yang suddenly spoke to the game.

"Huh, CR!?"

The game then discovered that a stack of cards had appeared in his hand without his knowledge.

So he instinctively flipped it over and unfolded it to take a look.

"This is!!"

"Grandpa's card!!"

Wang Yang and the game were taken aback.

"It's [Exodia]...!"

The president, who had just woken up, also noticed this scene and immediately suffered a PTSD attack.

On the computer screen, Noah exclaimed, "No way! The game has [Exodia]?! Does that mean he's destined to be the Duel King?"

He was very impressed with the five-elder deck in the game.

Hearing this, Jonouchi was displeased: "Uh, I admit that [Exodia] is powerful, but collecting them all isn't so easy..."

Naia shook her head at this: "That's too naive. Instead of explaining, you should take a look at this."

A video was released by Noah; it was the first duel against the Five Elders in the game.

"It's a lie, a lie, right..."

"How could such a thing happen!"

As the game progressed, Elliot used his last words to defeat the five elders, Jonouchi and the president's faces gradually turned ashen.
