"Elemental HERO, Vision HERO, Masked HERO!" Yuei Vu waved and shouted, "Launch a total attack on Noah!"
Gaia, Adoration, and Acid flew forward simultaneously. The three heroes' attack hit Noah's body at the same time. The simulated impact in this virtual world smashed Noah's entire body like a rag, sending him flying away, and the total output of 8500 instantly evaporated Noah's entire LP.
Noah: "Ahhhhh!!!"
[Noah, LP 4000 → LP 0]
Of course, it was impossible for this simulated shock to hurt Noah, who was already a program code in essence, but this fact did deal a huge blow to him.
Noah got up and knelt on the ground, shocked.
"I lost? By OTK?"
Even if I adopt my own rules, even if I have the strongest Deck Master and the most perfect tactics (printed cards), why do I still lose so easily?
Noah was still thinking of defeating Seto through a duel, and clearly wanted to completely crush Seto and retake the Kaiba Corp… In the end, he lost to someone else before he even fought him?
This was unacceptable!
At this moment, in the virtual space where the two of them were, the wind direction suddenly changed.
Yuei Vu could clearly feel that the simulated temperature in this space has dropped a few degrees. The sun disappeared, and an ominous cloud appeared in the sky. The rolling black clouds slowly spun in the sky, and in the center of the whirlpool emerged…
…a human face?
That's the face of an old man. Silver-white hair and beard, with a straight face and a solemn face, made people tremble just by looking at his eyes.
Noah's face changed suddenly: "Fa… Father!?"
It was also obvious from his reaction that the man was Kaiba Gozaburo, the man who adopted Kaiba Seto, but was finally kicked out of Kaiba Corp by his adopted son and had everything taken away from him.
But Noah was obviously kept in the dark: "Aren't you… already dead?"
The old man in midair rolled his eyes at him: "My flesh body? Yes. But before that, I used the same device that I used to save you.
I also backed up my own consciousness and uploaded it into the computer world. Now I am as omnipotent as you are… no, even above you. "
"Father!" Noah's face was full of surprise, like a long-lost child who burst into tears when he saw his parents again, "You…you're still here? Maybe you don't know, but I've always felt lonely all the time. I've been working on to fulfill your expectations…"
"You're useless, Noah," Gozaburo said coldly, his tone unwavering as if he was narrating an irrelevant fact.
Noah's smile instantly froze.
"I used to work very hard to save your life because you are the one whom I decided to be the heir of Kaiba Corp. If I die just like that, it will still be a little bit nerve-racking." Gozaburo said coldly, "But that has already been done. It's past tense, I don't need you anymore."
After speaking, the old guy turned his head and turned to Yuei Vu, looking at him strangely for a while.
"I'm a little bit interested in you," he said. "Come here, I have something to talk about."
While speaking, another door has been conjured out of thin air next to Yuei Vu.
Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows.
He kind of wanted to say: Sorry sir but I'm not interested in an old man, and even less interested in the dead…
…but think about it, he was going to come in anyway.
After all, this was the real behind-the-scenes BOSS of this arc.
After Yuei Vu walked into the door, it quickly disappeared. The face of Gozaburo that appeared in the sky also disappeared immediately, the cloud dissipated, and the sky turned blue again.
Kaiba Noah knelt on the ground like a dried salted fish for a long time, and his outlook on life collapsed.
"How… how is this?" he said to himself, "Dad doesn't need me anymore? Then what have I done so far?"
Even in the form of an AI, Noah was essentially a "well done, son" guy. Even after his father died for so many years, he has always been trying to move forward along the path his father expected, defeating Kaiba Seto and retaking their family's company, so that his dead father could be relieved.
Now he not only knew that his father has not yet died, but he has also become an abandoned child. All his efforts so far have only been entertaining himself, without any meaning…
"No!" Noah shook his head, "If I can defeat Seto and prove that I am stronger than him, father… father, he will definitely restore his expectations of me!"
Noah gritted his teeth and stood up, his eyes filled with the desire to do things again…
...
As soon as Yuei Vu passed through this door, the map in front of him changed instantly, and he immediately came to the president's office in the Kaiba Corp Building.
Gozaburo Kaiba was sitting behind the desk at this time, his fingers crossed on his chin.
"You have successfully attracted my attention." Gozaburo watched him walk in and said lightly, "To be honest, there are not many things on earth that can surprise me at this stage of evolution…but you succeeded in doing one."
"You mean…?"
"I don't think there is any need for us to pretend," Gozaburo said, "The card you used in the duel just now is not something in the Kaiba Corp's database.
To be able to introduce foreign data under the nose of me and Noah without even knowing it, even I was completely unaware of the clues, this technology is not something ordinary people can do. "
Yuei Vu understood.
It seemed that Gozaburo thinks that all the "HERO" series cards that Yuei Vu used in the duel just now were all added by hacking into the system of this virtual world by himself.
Of course, it was impossible for Gozaburo to detect or understand the existence of the system card pool that Yuei Vu had. Now, in his eyes, Yuei Vu may be equivalent to that kind of hidden world-class technology emperor, a big hacker, and that's why he is interested in Yuei Vu.
"You may be a rare talent, I am willing to give you a chance."
Gozaburo said, making a gesture, and the door behind Yuei Vu disappeared out of thin air.
"You were involved because of Seto, so you may be completely clueless about the current situation. So let me explain briefly…"
"I think I understand." Yuei Vu shrugged, "You are Kaiba Gozaburo, the former chairman of Kaiba Coro who should have died years ago. But you have backed up your consciousness with some kind of black technology, and now exist like a ghost in the computer world."
"Hey, you're really smart. You understand very quickly." Gozaburo nodded, "Yes, but you may not understand what I can do.
My learning ability in the online world is unimaginable by human beings, and I am absolutely invincible now that I have broken free from the shackles of my flesh body.
I can break into any network system, any system, including the most advanced weapon systems. If I want to, I can easily destroy the world.
Everything in this world will be under my control, I will start by taking back the Kaiba Group and create a new world…"
"…Uh, wait a moment," Yuei Vu waved his hand to interrupt Gozaburo, "So, do you know how to play cards?"
The self-proclaimed omniscient AI was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"
"Playing cards. Duel Monster." He gestured to the Duel Disk in his hand.
Gozaburo expressed his disdain: "Humph! Today, I am proficient in computing. As long as I am willing to study any type of game, no human can beat me.
It's ridiculous that my odious son used to be obsessed with this kind of game! A big man is addicted to this kind of boring game all day long, that's why I said that Seto will achieve nothing…"
"Oh, I understand." Yuei Vu nodded, "So you don't plan to play cards? Then you should wash your face and go to sleep as soon as possible. Conquering the world? You may have to wait till the next life."
Gozaburo frowned: "What did you say?"
