Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Chapter 411 The People Who Can Be Saved

"I... lost again..."

Faced with his defeat, IV lowered his head. He felt he had lost count of how many times he had been defeated by Soreva. At the same time, an idea arose in his mind:

Since I can't resist this person, can I put my hopes on him and ask him to save my father?

Although such an idea seemed somewhat absurd to IV himself, he still looked up at Soreva with hopeful eyes and said:

"Hey, I said, your name is... Soreva, right?"

"That's right, it's thanks to you that you remember my name. I thought you would only call me something like 'bastard'."

However, faced with Soreva's sarcastic remarks, IV did not engage in a verbal exchange with Soreva as he had done before. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said:

"If it's alright, can I ask you for a favor?"

"You... asked me to do this? Wow, that's quite a rare thing!"

Faced with IV's request, Soreva's face also showed a look of interest, and he asked IV curiously,

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Although Soreva did not immediately agree, IV still told Soreva everything he wanted to say:

“I know that what my father is doing is wrong, and helping him is just aiding and abetting evil. But I still hope that after helping him complete his revenge, the gentle father I once knew can come back!”

But because of your existence, I'm afraid Father's revenge plan will be difficult to achieve.

Hearing IV's words, Soreva scratched his face sheepishly with his fingers. Now that he had the chance to think from the perspective of the Jade Throne family, he suddenly realized that his image seemed to be that of a very wicked villainous cadre!

After all, if we disregard their family's revenge plan and only consider the cause of the revenge, the Digital Family does indeed stand on the moral high ground.

Given that their father was harmed to this state by Dr. Fica, what's wrong with the three brothers wanting to help their father take revenge on Dr. Fica?

However, their revenge was thwarted time and again by Soreva, one of Dr. Fica's men, who even made plenty of sarcastic remarks to provoke them during the process.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, since the methods of revenge they used were simply unacceptable to Soreva, which is why they became enemies.

And IV's words continued to echo as Soreva reflected on himself:

"So please, if you're going to defeat Father, please, make him turn back into the kind father he used to be!"

“Ⅳ…”

Seeing the sadness in IV's eyes, his head slowly lowered, and even the faint glimpse of tears sliding down his cheeks, Soreva slowly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I think it might be difficult for me to do that."

"What do you mean by that?!"

Upon hearing Soleva's blunt refusal, IV immediately turned furious, grabbed Soleva by the collar, and roared.

"Aren't you very strong?! Isn't your duel enough to defeat Father and bring him back to his senses?! Then what makes you think you can stop our revenge?!"

Faced with IV's words, which were unclear whether they were expressions of anger or venting, Soreva simply said calmly:

“IV, I think you should understand that duels are not omnipotent, and just because I defeated your father and thwarted his plot, he will not give up his hatred and return to his original form.”

Perhaps he will only become more fixated on this hatred and devise other ways to take revenge.

"you……"

Faced with Soreva's words, IV was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Soreva said was very likely to happen, and he knelt down in despair.

"Does this mean that my father will always be like this?"

"Not always."

Soreva reached out and patted IV on the shoulder, then spoke.

“There is indeed someone in this world who could persuade your father to let go of his hatred, but that person will not be me.”

"Then, who is that person?"

Facing the hopeful gaze of IV, Soreva looked towards the stairs:

"That person has already gone up, but..."

The thought of how he had given Kaito the upgrades to [Galaxy Eyes] before the duel, and how he had said he would "personally rescue Yuto," filled Soleva with unease.

"Damn it, if that guy from the throne hadn't gone up against Yuma, who is from the victim's family, but against Kaito, who is from the perpetrator's family, then he really wouldn't be able to clear his name."

Now, let's rewind a little and focus on Yuma and Kaito as they rush up the stairs under the cover of Soleva and Akari.

Just as the two successfully reached the second floor and turned to rush towards the stairs to the third floor, a figure slowly emerged from the other end of the stairs and collided with Yuma.

"It hurts!"

Yuma, who had been hit on the nose, fell to the ground and immediately closed his eyes and rubbed his nose. When he opened his eyes again, he saw V and Kaito facing each other.

"As expected, you came after all, Kaito."

Seeing the regret on V's face, Kaito immediately retorted:

"Of course, I will definitely protect Yang Dou!"

Immediately, Yuma, still in a daze, saw Kaito turn around and say something to him.

"Yuma, you go up and rescue Yangdou first, I'll hold this guy off!"

"Huh? But, Kaito, you..."

Yuma wanted to say something more, but Kaito urged him on:

"Yuma, you go up first! I still have a score to settle with this guy!"

Upon hearing Kaito's words, Yuma vaguely sensed that V must be someone Kaito knew, and immediately nodded.

"I understand, I'll go save Yang Dou right now! Kuai Dou, you need to come up here quickly too!"

"Ok!"

After Kaito nodded emphatically, Yuma immediately stood up, brushed past V, and his footsteps gradually disappeared down the stairs.

What surprised Kaito was that V didn't seem to offer Yuma any resistance whatsoever; instead, he asked:

"You call him Yuma? Isn't his name Tsukumo Yuma?"

Although Kaito didn't answer V verbally, the wariness in his eyes made V realize the truth, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face:

"I never expected that you would pin your hopes on him to rescue your brother? Who knows, after he learns the truth, he might even join us."

"V, what do you mean by that! What was the truth back then!?"

Faced with Kaito's questioning, V answered without hesitation:

"Kaito, you really don't know anything! As for the feud between our families, let me tell you!"

"Whether it was my father's throne, or the father of Ninety-Nine Horses, or Ninety-Nine Horses himself, they were all harmed by your father, Dr. Fika!"

Chapter 412 Reunion of Old Friends in Battle

"I see……"

After listening to V recount the past grievances between the three families, Kaito immediately sighed.

“At that time, it was indeed my father, Fica, who made the wrong choice.”

Upon hearing Kaito admit to the crimes Dr. Fica had committed, V, assuming Kaito was about to give up, immediately feigned indifference and said:

"Very well! Now that you know about Dr. Fica's mistakes, you should leave obediently, Kaito! Don't get involved anymore!"

"I reject!"

After loudly rejecting V's suggestion, Kaito still raised his wrist, pointing his crescent-shaped D-pad at V.

“Even if Father did something wrong, Yangdou is innocent! I can let you take revenge on Father, and I even hope that it will make Father realize his mistakes, but I will never allow you to hurt Yangdou!”

"You...you're really stubborn! Well then, a battle is inevitable for us!"

He raised his hand, revealing his double-edged sword-like D-status panel. However, before the duel, V still wanted to try and sway Kaito's resolve with words.

“But Kaito, do you really trust that kid named Yuma Tsukumo that much? He’s like us, having ‘lost’ his father because of Dr. Fica.”

Upon hearing V's words, Kaito paused for a moment, then a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"To be honest, I don't really know him very well. We've only met a few times and sparred a few times. But..."

At this point, Kaito's lips curled into a helpless smile.

"My partner often mentions him to me, complaining that he is such a good person who doesn't know how to hold grudges. No matter what bad people or bad things happen to him, he always thinks about forgiving them."

I was so tired of hearing those words back then. But now, I want to try and believe my partner because of what he said.

"you……"

Hearing Kaito's words, V couldn't help but recall the figure who had single-handedly stood in front of Yuto against three opponents, and couldn't help but say with satisfaction,

"What a great partner..."

However, after the initial感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection), V's expression turned serious:

"However! What choice will Yuma Tsukumo make? Let's witness it together after our decisive battle!"

"Duel!" ×2

"Well then, I've got the first strike! My turn, draw a card!"

Without hesitation, V seized the initiative against Kaito, adding the top card of his deck to his hand, and then revealing another card from his hand.

"This [Solar Wind Sail] in my hand can be Special Summoned from my hand with half its ATK!"

As the purple-hulled [Solar Wind Sailboat] entered V's field, V raised his hand and picked up another card. Kaito, as if prophesied, whispered:

"Next up is the [Planet Exploration Vehicle]."

Just as Kaito said, when V slapped that card onto the D panel, he said exactly:

"Next, I will Normal Summon [Planet Exploration Vehicle] from my hand!"

Seeing that V had indeed summoned the [Plane Explorer], Kaito immediately understood what card V would use next, since Soleva had told him about the duel back then.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card, [Tanhäuser Gate]! This card can change the Levels of two monsters on your field to the sum of their Levels!"
