Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

That's right, it's Seamania!

Chapter 168 The Counterattack at the End of the Road

Kaimania's life lasted only twelve years, but the process from when he stepped out of the virtual KC Building until he met Yu Che and the others seemed to be longer than twelve years.

He walked silently through the streets of Domino City, his immense grief and pain gradually transforming into resentment towards Gosaburo Kaiba!

"So... all this so-called family affection was just my own delusion!" Kaiba Noa wiped away her tears, gritting her teeth as she spoke, her voice still trembling with a sob, "From the very beginning, from the moment I was born, Kaiba Gosaburo treated me like a pawn!"

"He never treated me like a son. In his eyes, I was no different from the adopted Seto Kaiba!!"

Haimania's gaze grew increasingly resolute, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"And Mom..."

"Although my mother left for reasons unknown when I was very young..."

"But in my limited memories, every time we spent together, I could feel that my mother was a truly kind and gentle person..."

"How dare this guy say such things to her! My mother, like that doctor, was probably driven to her death by him!!"

With her back to the setting sun bathing the entire city of Domino in golden light, Noa Kaiba recalled everything she had seen and heard from the Kaiba brothers, especially what Keihei Kaiba had said—"Noa, if you want, my brother and I can definitely build you a cyborg body! We'll take over KC Corporation together and build Kaiba Paradise, bringing joy to children all over the world!!"

This sentence held immense power for Kaimana at that moment.

After all he felt was anger and resentment towards Gosaburo Kaiba, all he wanted to do now was start a new life!

In the suburbs, yellow sand filled the air.

The ruins of the giant mediocre demon were billowing with black smoke. After Gosaburo Kaiba's spirit, the mediocre demon, fled, Noa Kaiba's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He wants to make a deal with You Che and the others!

"Damn it! Noah, are you here to stop us?!" Jonouchi shouted angrily, rolling up his sleeves.

However, Kaiba Noa calmly replied, "No, I'm here to help you, to help you defeat Kaiba Gosaburo and escape from this world!"

Jonouchi was stunned: "N-N-what? You, you're definitely lying to us!"

Kaiba Noa's expression remained unchanged, though tear stains still clung to her face: "To Kaiba Gosaburo, I, who have long been abandoned, am no different from you."

"Now, although the world we live in is under the control of Gosaburo Kaiba, the principles of its structure are no different from the world I was in before."

"I can tell you all the information I have, but the price is that you must take me with you out of this virtual world and prepare a body for me, whether it is created or taken from someone else!"

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

They didn't understand what Kaiba Noa had gone through to betray Kaiba Gosaburo and help them.

However, judging from his appearance, he did not seem to be hiding or deceiving anything.

Although everyone was able to find the Disruptor through the connection between the elf and the magic card, they still had no idea what to do next.

“Brother…” Kaiba Keihei has always been compassionate. Having recovered some of his strength, he turned to look at his brother, who still needed Jonouchi and Honda’s support, and asked for Kaiba Seto’s opinion.

Everyone's eyes turned to look.

Seto Kaiba pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Noah, with the current technological level of the KC Group, it is indeed possible to create androids, but the technology is not yet fully mature."

"But if you can accept it, I can first transfer your soul into the duel ship, and then decide what kind of body to give you after we return to Domino City."

Seto Kaiba made it very clear that he accepted Kaiba Noa's conditions, but obtaining her body was not as simple as Kaiba Noa had imagined.

"Heh... Having wandered in this virtual world for so many years, do you think I'd mind waiting a little longer?" Kaiba Noa sneered, her tone now laced with threat. "However, Seto, if you dare to play any tricks, with my strength, I can hack into the Duel Airship's system in a matter of minutes! So I advise you to keep your promise!!"

Seto Kaiba looked disdainful and did not respond.

Kaiba Keihei quickly replied, "Brother will definitely keep his promise!"

"Nya, we have agreed to your conditions. Now it's time for you to tell us everything you know!" Wang Yang urged coldly.

Kaimania nodded and explained slowly, "I believe you already know that for this world to exist, it must be based on the power of the elves."

"Kaiba Gosaburo's world appeared in the form of application and replacement after most of the Minecraft program was cleared. Although he and my world share this space, they are completely different in essence."

"In other words, what is actually generating this world right now is not the Disruptor Powder, but other spirits!"

This point has already been confirmed by everyone.

When King Yuuki dealt a massive blow to that mediocre demon with a direct attack, the energy of the entire world seemed to fluctuate.

This is very similar to when Soichiro Ota was defeated.

Kaiba Naya continued, "In Kaiba Gosaburo's plan, he can only replace my world with his own world program when more than 90% of my world has disappeared."

"Because he himself was originally in my world, if the world were to be completely wiped out, then Gosaburo Kaiba himself would also disappear. So, even now, less than 10% of the program remains in my world, which is why you can still use the power of the spirits."

"For Gosaburo Kaiba, you who possess the power of spirits are his last and greatest threat. Therefore, what he wants to do most now is to eliminate the residual programs of the original world. This operation will have to wait until the most critical basic components of his world have been loaded."

Looking at the faint pink energy drifting towards the distant virtual Domino City, Kaiba Noa explained her plan: "You're going to rescue Disruptive Pink, right?"

"My idea is to divide everyone into three groups. One group will find and control Gosaburo Kaiba's Pokémon to stop the world from being generated any more. As long as the Pokémon's energy is depleted, the world will be generated at a slower rate."

"One group is responsible for finding the disruptive powder and rescuing it. It is a remnant of the original world. If we want to escape from here, we can only hope for the program that has not yet been eliminated."

"The last group will face off against Gosaburo Kaiba! In this world, only card spirits and AI trained through data can engage in duels. The original world's AI has been wiped out, and Gosaburo Kaiba doesn't have the time to immediately train an artificial intelligence capable of fighting you."

"The one you just fought should be the Pokémon that created this world. Since you've already revealed your trump card, it means that Gosaburo Kaiba is just a lone commander with no subordinates to command."

"If all three things succeed, then I will be able to open the door to the real world through some means!!"

Seto Kaiba frowned: "Explain yourself clearly, Noa. What exactly is the method you're referring to last time!"

With a flick of her wrist, lines of code constructed from symbols appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint glow:

"Although I no longer have any authority to control the world, the memories I gained through learning are still there."

"These are the code programs that can change the foundation of the world. As long as Gosaburo Kaiba's world is not complete, we can replace it with Disruptor Powder and his spirit."

"As long as the remaining worlds and the new worlds that are being created are all made of the energy of the Disruptive Powder, wouldn't escaping from here be a piece of cake?"

Kyoko glanced cautiously at Yuzuru: "But... even if we do that, the Disruptive Powder still won't be able to leave here, will it?"

All eyes turned to You Che.

Most people still don't quite understand what Card Spirits are all about, but the previous duels are enough to show that there is a deep connection between Yuzuru and the three Disruptors of the Noah World.

“Let’s stick to the plan for now,” You Che’s tone was somewhat somber. “If we can’t even do these three things, there’s no point in thinking about anything else.”

After a moment of silence, Wang Yang stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's divide the tasks! I just fought against the mediocre ghost, so I have some understanding of its abilities and tactics. I'll go find that spirit!"

Youche didn't speak, but the task of rescuing Disruptor would undoubtedly fall on his shoulders, after all, he was the only duelist among all those present who had a bond with Disruptor.

Now, only the group that will fight against Gosaburo Kaiba remains.

Of all the people, only Seto Kaiba understood Gosaburo Kaiba's temperament most thoroughly.

but……

Due to previous experiments, his condition remains very poor.

Just as everyone's gaze instinctively turned to Seto Kaiba, he suddenly pushed aside Jonouchi beside him, straightened his large silver-white trench coat, and stepped forward, saying loudly:

"No need to think about it! Leave the task of defeating Gosaburo Kaiba to me!"

"This guy and I need to settle things once and for all!!"

Kaiba Keihei said worriedly, "But brother...your health..."

Jonouchi couldn't help but say, "Yeah, Kaiba, you were so weak just now that you could barely stand. How could you have the strength to fight? Anyway, Kaiba Gosaburo is just a novice. Why don't we leave this to Mai and me?!"

The peacock dance, which was suddenly and inexplicably brought along, was taken aback at first, but quickly smiled again.

But Kaimanaya shook her head and said, "No, it has to be Seto, no one else will do."

"Huh? Why?" Jonouchi and the others asked in confusion.

Kaiba Noa said, "The original dueling program of the world has been erased. Now, the only people who can still duel are those who still have the power of the spirits. Yugi and Yugi both possess this power. Although we don't know where Seto's power comes from, he is the only remaining duelist who can fight."

"Hmph~" Under everyone's astonished gazes, Seto Kaiba laughed smugly, unfolding the Duel Disk on his arm and arrogantly saying, "What Pokémon, what power, are all laughable to me!"

"All I need to know is that I'm the one who will defeat Gosaburo Kaiba and that no one else will interfere!!"

"Kuiping, you stay here. I'm going to settle things with that guy one last time!!!"

With that, Seto Kaiba swung his arm and blindly drew a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the Duel Disk. In an instant, the roar of the white dragon echoed across the sky, and a silver light shone down. A magnificent and powerful dragon appeared out of thin air and carried Seto Kaiba toward the distant KC Building!

Seto Kaiba, like Noa Kaiba, knew Gosaburo Kaiba inside and out, so he was certain that the man was hiding in that place!

After Seto Kaiba set off, everyone dispersed to carry out their own tasks.

In the end, only Kaiba Noa and Kaiba Keipi were left behind.

Kaiba Keihei also longs to be like Kyoko and Honda, able to stay by the side of those important to him in crucial moments even without the ability to duel, but his brother has always been like this, never letting him participate in anything dangerous...

"Alright, stop thinking about it~" Kaibania suddenly smiled. "Now, all we have to do is wait."

"Yes, I really can't help much... but I can't help but worry a little." Kaiba Keihei said with a wry smile, his head down.

Kaimania laughed and said, "How about we play a few rounds of Capsule Monsters Chess while we have this time? I heard you're an expert at it."

Kaiba Keihei was initially surprised, but then said with some concern, "Really! You like this game too? But... is this really okay?"

Kaimana laughed, "Anyway, we don't have anything else to do, do we? There are still some very basic low-level programs we can use in the remnants of the original world. We'll just wait for them to come back there anyway, so let's kill some time. What do you think? Your brother and Yuzuriha are top duelists, they'll definitely return victorious!"

After thinking about it, Kaiba Keihei realized that, just as Kaiba Noa had said, the two of them couldn't be of much help. So he went with him to the original final battlefield.

The sun sank completely below the horizon.

Amidst the chaos and ruins, Kaiba Noa and Kaiba Keihei played the classic game of chess.

With her extraordinary computing power, Noa Kaiba easily put the expert Keihei Kaiba into deep thought.

Just as Kaiba Keihei was intently looking at the chessboard, a sinister glint flashed in Kaiba Noa's eyes. He glanced quietly at the laboratory not far away, which had been half-erased but still contained several intact devices.

With those few pieces of equipment, completing the final project shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Haimania sneered smugly.

Without that ugly disruptive powder stopping him, he can complete his final plan and take over Kaiba Keihei's body!

Although he couldn't escape this awful place immediately, at least he didn't have to put his life in the hands of Seto Kaiba!

By the time that fool realized all this, it was already too late!

While Kaiba Keihei was still engrossed in studying the game, Kaiba Noa quietly got up and went around to his back.
