Welcome to the Duel Academy where Yu-Gi-Oh appears

"Kusanagi-san, please calm down."

"First, we now know the truth that we once didn't know. Second, the academy is not our target of revenge; instead, it can become our ally."

"Third, the principal has already told us the truth, no matter what. The speculations we've been hiding cannot be considered facts."

Fujiki Yusaku's calm words eased Kusanagi Shoichi's anger a little. He sighed and nodded silently.

Another person who was also attracted by Fujiki Yusaku's words was Hong Shangjian. Although he remained calm, his expression was a little surprised.

Fujiki Yusaku was too low-key in the class and was not on his list of people to pay attention to.

Hong Shangjian never expected to meet the boy he had saved in the same class. To him, this boy was also special.

"Next, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Although the information I know is not absolutely correct, I can guarantee on the principal's honor that my answers are the truth as far as I know."

Ban Liu Chengshou said seriously that after seeing these people coming, he did not intend to talk about any clichés, but directly answer everyone's doubts.

"What is the current relationship between Dr. Hong Shang and Duel Academy?"

Out of consideration for Leader Zuo's face, You Feng did not address Hong Shangsheng by his name, but directly asked the question that concerned him most.

Although both are the [Knights of Hanno] and the [Plan of Hanno], there are essential differences between Hong Shangsheng and Hong Shangjian.

However, Revolver's own practices actually changed due to various events, and the nature of the Hanno organization was different in different periods.

Although Hong Shangsheng has certain ideals, it does not affect his status as a "bad guy" and a character like Kayaba Akihiko.

Although [Revolver] Hong Shangjian has many shortcomings, he can be called a "dark hero".

But it is also interesting to say that, just like Kayaba Akihiko's achievement of Kiritani Kazuto, if there was no Hong Shangsheng, there would be no "left leader" with great charisma.

"Dr. Hong Shang is the regulator of the electronics industry. This is the responsibility and atonement he has taken on."

"We don't think he's not responsible for his mistakes, but shortly after the Lost incident was exposed, he was abandoned by Ayanokouji-sensei and Sol Company and fell into a state of suspended animation."

Afterwards, Itayanagi Seimori looked at Hong Shangjian with admiration.

"Dr. Hong Shang is still alive because Mr. Hong Shang uploaded his consciousness to the Internet."

"He opened Pandora's Box himself. We also need someone like him to supervise Ignis."

Itayanagi Seimori explained that he was a pretty easy-going person, and since he had first followed Ayanokouji Atsuomi, he naturally wouldn't be a good person in the universal sense.

In the eyes of Hong Shangsheng, Ignis is the "Prometheus" who stole the divine fire for mankind.

But after truly completing Ignis and performing future calculations, Hong Shangsheng realized that the dream he had dedicated half his life to was completely contrary to his ideals. As a result, Hong Shangsheng dedicated the rest of his life to correcting his mistakes.

For this naive yet vicious scientist, the shattering of his own dreams is probably the greatest punishment.

You Feng also understood the harm that some Ignis could cause. The fact that the Duel Academy did not choose to directly destroy the Electronic Universe proved its lawful good nature.

After learning that the Duel Academy was not in cahoots with Hong Shangsheng, You Feng lost interest in the Lost incident.

Although his performance is a bit strange, in fact, Hong Shangjian is also a super genius like Yuxing Kaiba.

After discovering the danger of Ignis, Hong Shangjian and his team prepared many measures.

The Tower of Hanoi, the protective measures that prevent Ignis from harming people in reality, the virus that is enough to seriously injure Ignis, and even the AI Pando Puppet developed by Revolver are all practical inventions.

Hong Shang, who believed he had stolen the Heavenly Fire, sanctified "Prometheus" as Ignis, which ended up opening the Pandora's box of artificial intelligence.

However, Revolver, which sees itself as the final bullet aimed at artificial intelligence, changed its name to "Pandora", inspiring the possibility of a future in which humans and artificial intelligence can truly coexist in harmony.

After experiencing all kinds of events, Hong Shangjian has completely achieved an equal position with his father and even surpassed him.

The great achievement that Revolver finally achieved was exactly what his father had been pursuing all his life.

Unfortunately, his complex and deep feelings for his father eventually turned into eternal regret.

Unlike most Yu-Gi-Oh games that have happy endings, the story of V6 is a tragic journey for most of the characters.

"Are you kidding..."

Takashi Homura seemed unable to accept that this was the fate of the culprit, Seiji Hongjo. Shoichi Kusanagi and Yusaku Fujiki also frowned.

Even Revolver and the Ominous Evil Spirit, who had already met their end as Hong Shangsheng, showed heavy expressions as their memories were brought back.

You Feng sighed, knowing in his heart that sometimes knowing the truth would become a kind of sadness.

Chapter 85 Ignis

"I see. My father considered supervising Ignis as his atonement."

Hong Shangjian's words made everyone look at him.

"Then I want to know what the purpose of the mastermind of the so-called White Room is, and what the outcome will be."

Hong Shangjian asked Itayanagi Chengshou indifferently, as if he had inadvertently exposed his very embarrassing identity.

"Cultivate talent to increase one's political influence."

"As for that person's fate, I can't say for sure."

Itayanagi Seimori sighed and replied.

At this time, Takashi Sumo had already come to meet Hong Shang, and seemed to question his identity as the son of Hong Shang Sheng.

At this moment, the ominous evil spirit stood in front of him. Although he appeared polite, there was a hint of madness in his eyes.

"No problem. If you think an act of revenge can quench the fire burning in your heart, then come on."

"But you should know that revenge has nothing to do with justice."

Hong Shangjian and Homura Takashi's eyes met, which eased his anger a little.

"No, I was too impulsive."

Takashi Homura suppressed himself for the time being. Unlike Revolver who took over the Knights of Hanoi, although Hong Shangjian was the son of Hong Shangsheng, he had nothing to do with what happened back then.

"My question is, how many victims were there in the Lost incident, and what is their current situation?"

At this time, Fujiki Yusaku asked what he was concerned about.

"You really are completely different from how you appear, Yusaku-kun. I can answer your questions."

"But before that, I need to tell you a concept."

Itayanagi Seimori first showed a relieved smile, and then his expression became more serious than ever.

"Dr. Hong Shang, with his so-called noble ideals, led the Lost Incident and developed six artificial intelligences he called Ignis."

Then, Itayanagi Seimori's gaze swept over Fujiki Yusaku, the ominous evil spirit, and Homura Takashi.

"The six AI personality prototypes are exactly the six people kidnapped during the Lost Incident. And there's a phenomenon where Ignis and the prototypes can interfere with each other."

Itayanagi Seimori took out a stack of documents containing the information of six Ignis.

"Three of the victims of the Lost Incident gathered at this academy. The other three took on different lives."

"Mr. Kusanagi, we're so sorry."

"The reason your brother, Jin Kusanagi, suffered a mental breakdown was due to the indirect influence of his prototype, the Ignis of Light."

"By the time we discovered this, it was too late."

"The Water Ignis prototype is living a normal life, while the Wind Ignis prototype was nearly killed and is now the focus of Dr. Hong Shang's observation and protection."

"The three Ignis prototypes—Earth, Dark, and Fire—are here now. Aside from the six children and their parents, there are no other victims of the Lost Incident."

Itayanagi Seimori concluded, while at this time, Homura Takashi was checking the information of Ignis [Unrequited Dream].

Fujiki Yusaku was also looking at the information of Dark Ignis thoughtfully, while Kusanagi Shoichi was looking at the information of [Lightning] with hatred on his face.

Hong Shang saw that the evil spirit was also reading the information about Ignis, but he looked uninterested.

"What about the White Room?"

Fujiki Yusaku continued to ask.

After hearing the information given by Itayanagi Seimori, he had already vaguely realized something.

But before figuring out whether his revenge was real, at least he could make sure that his desire to help someone was not false.

"Think about it, think about three things, think about the three meanings of your survival."

Hong Shangjian suddenly said that this was a secret code that only You Zuo and You Feng could understand among the people present.

Although Yousaku developed a habit of counting to three, it was Hong Shangjian who first taught him to do so.

After witnessing the tragic experiences of several people, he could not bear the condemnation of his conscience. Shortly after helping Yusaku to regain his confidence, he personally reported his father who was obsessed with his ideals.

Fujiki Yusaku looked at Hong Shangjian in astonishment and saw his calm and complicated gaze.

“The White Room may no longer be operating, but the people it left behind will never disappear.”

Itayanagi Seimori looked at the ominous evil spirit and couldn't help but sigh.

"Although some people have been saved, but..."

"Some people still voluntarily stay in a place that is no longer the White Room. For other children, it is their home with nowhere else to go."

Unlike the Lost incident, some of the children in the White Room are orphans, test-tube babies, and even the participants' own children.

The behavior of the lost incident was "kidnapping", while what the "white room" did was "adoption" and "tutoring".

Even Kaiba Seto was adopted from an orphanage by Kaiba Gosaburo, who then took over the Kaiba Group amidst intrigue. No one could have predicted what would happen after being adopted.

When Hong Shang saw and heard this, his expression became even more complicated.

Hong Shangsheng and Ayanokouji Atsuomi seem to form a mirror-like contrast.

Hong Shangsheng's starting point is for the so-called whole mankind, but he is crazy and paranoid in his actions, but he trusts his son.

Ayanokouji Atsuomi's actions were entirely driven by his own ambition, but his approach remained restrained and walked in the gray area. For the sake of his ambition, he even threw his own son, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, into the "White Room".

After learning about the current situation in the White Room, the one who was most concerned was not Fujiki Yusaku, but Hong Shangjian. He clenched his fists slightly in his pockets, but his face remained indifferent.

"It's ridiculous. Ignis, the White Room, and in the end, there's nothing left of Sol Corporation."

Kusanagi Shoichi said unhappily, feeling powerless at the same time.

How was he going to take revenge on an electronic creature? How could he be sure that Lightning hadn't backed up his data before he killed him?

It is precisely because he understands the horror of AI that Shoichi Kusanagi, as a hacker, feels even more powerless.

"Mr. Kaiba performed calculations on Ignis."

"If the Ignis of Light survives, and the Ignis of Darkness survives alone, humans and the Ignis will become enemies."

Itayanagi Seimori looked at Kusanagi Shoichi and spoke gently.

"Among the six Ignis, you can understand the Ignis of Darkness and Earth as neutral. They don't really care about humanity's survival. The Ignis of Water and Fire are dovish. They are determined to move towards a future of harmonious coexistence with humanity."

The remaining Ignis of Wind and Light are naturally the enemies of mankind.

"The war between humans and Ignis has not yet begun, but that day will not be too far away."

"And the three of you involved will inevitably be involved."

Itayanagi Seimori gave advice to Yusaku and the other two.

"Da Ma Lei, I will confirm the rest myself."

Fujiki Yusaku suddenly said this and turned away.

Hong Shangjian thanked Principal Itayana thoughtfully and followed him. Seeing this, Kusanagi Shoichi and the Ominous Evil Spirit also left the principal's office. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

You Feng could understand why You Zuozuo suddenly lost his composure.

In his hand, there is a deck of electronic cards.

After learning about Ignis, Fujiki Yusaku, who has a high IQ, immediately realized that his desire for revenge was also the result of deliberate instigation by certain beings.

He was personally guided by the Dark Ignis on this path of revenge. If his will wasn't strong enough, his fate would be the same as Jin Kusanagi's. Yusaku, who hadn't yet seen the AI's lies, was already aware of the danger it posed.

"This is a situation that truly makes me feel ashamed."

"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to you all."

At this time, calm and gentle voices were heard respectively, and a pair of "Forest Ice and Fire Men" appeared on Itayana Seimori's desk.

"Hello, Zun."

"My name is [Bu Ling Meng], and I've been wanting to see you for a long time."

The red electronic man greeted Takashi Homura, and at the same time, made Takashi Homura, whose brain was almost turned into a paste by the information, realize His identity: Ignis of Fire.
