The virtual world, the duel arena in the Kaiba Corp's HQ.
Yuei Vu and Kaiba Gozaburo stood on both sides of the duel arena, and their respective decks had been set.
Sure enough, in the end, you still had to rely on playing cards to solve the problem.
However, this time, the two sides did not adopt the painful "Deck Master" rules formulated by Noah, and instead fought according to the normal Battle City rules.
Of course, all the cards in the card pool could still be selected.
However, just like the duel between Yuei Vu and Noah before, the pile of deck-thinning cards was cut off a lot.
This was actually not unreasonable. After all, if you built a solitaire Exodia deck, the duel itself was meaningless.
Of course, Gozaburo didn't know that, with the unlimited card library, there were a lot of tactics that Yuei Vu could play, lacking one was no problem…
After Gozaburo selected the deck, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yuei Vu for a moment.
He also saw the cards and tactics used by Yuei Vu in the duel with Noah just now. Although he had never heard of the tactics of that HERO deck, he admitted that its instant burst was indeed terrifying. But after seeing it once, Gozaburo felt that it was not impossible to counter.
It's just a simple super-fast attack, summoning a large number of fusion monsters in an instant, and OTK opponents with super high damage output.
Then it was worth noting that the "Absolute Acid "combo that could instantly clear the opponent's field, ensuring the success rate of OTL.
It was indeed a very terrifying combination, but he already had a countermeasure.
This was originally the best tactic he planned to use against Seto Kaiba, but now he didn't mind trying the guy in front of him first.
Although Gozaburo himself was not interested in duels, since he wanted to take revenge on Kaiba Seto, he must defeat the opponent in the field that Seto was most proud of. Therefore, he also prepared (printing on the spot) a special set of cards.
In the original animation, this virtual space that took so many years and resources to finally build was actually directly blown up by Noah, which was a pity to think about.
If this space was not destroyed after the remaining of Kaiba Gozaburo was eliminated, when the Battle City was over, Kaiba Company could recycle this place and renovate it directly into a game project, named "Minecraft", or set up a global online competitive duel club called "Duel Art Online", or do something else…
... In short, there were more uses!
Then, when the time came, Yuei Vu would go to get platform administrator privileges or something, and then run to sell tickets for screwball players to become a member. Wouldn't it be possible to attract more fresh chives waiting to be harvested?
A long-term stable income!
He even thought about the lines at that time.
"Don't miss it when you pass by! Domino's first online dueling venue is now online!
Member monthly pass is only 998! The original price of 999 is now 998, with no discount!
Can other ads do it? In this day and age of discounts, there are still a few ads that don't discount at all like us! ? "
Then the players would take a breath: "Fuck it, Yuei Vu's advertisements are so fresh and refined! Shut up and take my crystals…"
... Of course, in any case, he had to destroy the Kaiba Gozaburo in this computer world first.
As long as this ghostly AI was killed, this virtual space was basically equivalent to an unowned thing.
"Duel!" x2
[Gozaburo Kaiba, LP 4000]
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000]
"You go first," Gozaburo said lightly.
Although the random result of the Duel Disk chose Gozaburo, he could also choose to give up this first turn to the opponent.
It seemed that Gozaburo may have a little fear in his heart after seeing the HERO in the battle with Noah before, and chose to attack first.
He made the right decision. It's just that the HERO that Yuei Vu played this time may be slightly different…
"My turn, draw!" Yuei Vu drew out a card in his hand, "…I summon 'Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird' in defensive position!"
The whirlwind rolled up, and the birdman with a red body and white wings flew out, shouted in mid-air, and slowly landed on the ground.
Gozaburo was startled: "Neo-Spacian? What is this?"
His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but get nervous again.
It's a different deck from when you faced Noah just now!
As a character in the DM era, Gozaburo has never heard of it, but YGO veterans should be familiar with this series.
Neo-Spacian series was a brand-new power that Yuki Judai, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, gained in addition to his original Elemental HERO series.
Although Yuei Vu has not been able to open this series in the system card pool so far, Neo-Spacian and Elemental HERO was the most closely related series, there were also common cards between the two series, so in this virtual space, the system card pool has also temporarily opened some cards of the Neo-Spacian series to Yuei Vu.
When it came to the Neo-Spacian, we had to mention that the ace monster of Yuki Judai, the symbol of his own deck, a monster that has the same status as the "Dark Magician" in Yugi's deck – Elemental HERO Neos.
…also commonly known as Ultraman by players.
This was because according to the plot setting, Neos was an Elemental HERO who accepted the fluctuations of the universe, and obtained the power from the far side of the starry sky, which was inexplicably similar to the setting of "the hero from Nebula M78".
In addition, Neos himself also looked like Ultraman, and the fusion monsters of the Neos series also have the negative effect of "only existing on the field for one turn", which made people inexplicably reminiscent of the famous "being a true man for three minutes"… (1)
What's more interesting is that Yuki Judai's ace series "Masked HERO" in the manga obviously based on another famous special series "Kamen Rider".
A man who could control the power of Ultraman and Kamen Rider at the same time.
So here you may be able to understand why Yuki Judai, as the only YGO protagonist who did not dye his hairstyle, could still be so awesome…
Yuei Vu continued: "The effect of the Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird: Once per turn, I can gain 500 LP for each card in the opponent's hand.
Now you have five cards in hand, so I gain 2500 LP. "
The Air Hummingbird flapped its wings and soared into the sky, and a huge flower sprouted on each card in Gozaburo's hand. The Air Hummingbird floated in the air, absorbing all the honey in those flowers, and through the flapping wings, turning the energy into health and sending it to Yuei Vu behind him.

"Set two cards. " There were two more set cards that appeared at Yuei Vu's feet, "I end my turn."
"My turn." Gozaburo hummed, "I'll let you see the strongest tactics I've integrated after collecting countless duel data!
Activate Spell Card – Painful Choice! "
Yuei Vu was speechless when he looked at a super old banned card that appeared in front of him.
…is this your strongest tactic?
"Painful Choice's effect is to choose five cards from the deck, then let the opponent choose one to add to my hand, and the remaining four will be discarded into the graveyard." Gozaburo laughed, "The cards I want to choose are…these five!"
Of course, even if Yuei Vu didn't look at it, he knew what card he picked.
What Gozaburo chose was… the five parts of Exodia!
TL's note:
1. For people who don't know, Ultraman can only stay in his transformation form for three minutes. Either the chest or the helmet will always have the light that lets him know when time is about to run out.
