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

In an instant, the chaotic battlefield was completely quelled, and hundreds of card monsters turned into virtual particles that quickly dispersed.

"Tsk!!!!"

As Tyrant Dragon vanished into thin air, Gosaburo Kaiba fell heavily from the sky. He was surprised for a moment, and then tried to summon the monster again.

However, after waving his hands a few times, he discovered that he... had no strength left at all...

"How is this possible?!" Kaiba Gosaburo panicked.

Everyone was also shocked by the sudden silence.

Just as everyone looked toward the sudden burst of light, they were astonished to discover that Kaibania had actually swapped places with the mediocre demon!

Now, the vessel that makes up the entire virtual world is no longer the spirit that was modified by Gosaburo Kaiba, but the original owner of this space—Noa Kaiba.

At that moment, Haimania slowly flew into the air and waved his hand, opening an escape route for everyone. He said calmly:

"Let's go, Seto, Yuzuri..."

"You...all of you should leave here."

Kaiba Gosaburo roared in anger and resentment, "Noa, why did you do this?!"

"Even if you don't want to follow my arrangements, you can still rule this world on your own!!"

"Clearly, you can become the ruler of all humanity yourself!!"

"Why did you have to let them go?!"

Kaimana turned around, his eyes glistening with tears, his voice trembling slightly: "Dad..."

"I am not a machine, but a human being."

Looking at the opened portal, everyone seemed to finally see a glimmer of hope.

King, Jonouchi, Honda, and Mai all ran towards the exit.

Without wasting a moment, Youche immediately led the six Disruptors and all the Pokémon toward the portal.

Finally, only Keihei Kaiba stopped in front of the portal. He turned around and said to Noa Kaiba, "Noa! Come with us! I told you, you can share a body with me for now!!"

However, Kaimania just smiled and said, "Keihei, you know that once you become the vessel of this world, there is absolutely no way you can leave."

Kaiba Keihei's eyes welled up with tears: "Then you wait for me here... I'll have my brother figure out a solution as quickly as possible!"

"I will definitely come back and rescue you from here!!"

"I promised you I would give you a body that could live in the real world!!"

"We...we're going to create a seahorse park together, bringing joy to children all over the world!!"

Upon hearing this, Kaimana smiled sincerely and movedly. He shook his head and used his authority to issue a destruction order for this world that should never have existed in the first place.

The world is crumbling, bit by bit.

Seamania's body gradually transformed into a void energy body.

Tears rolled down his face, and in the slowly fading light, he smiled one last time, gently bidding farewell to the boy who was about his age with a tender strength.

"Thank you, Guiping."

Chapter 171 The End of the Noah Crisis

The gentle energy was like a soft breeze; before Kaiba Keihei could react, he was gently pushed into the portal by Kaiba Noa.

Amidst the shifting light and shadow, he felt as if the whole world was spinning. Suddenly, an unprecedented chill jolted him awake. When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the real world.

It was a huge lounge in the submarine, with walls made of dark brown, rusty iron sheets.

The group of people lay inside capsule-like holographic pods.

With tears streaming down his face, Kaiba Keihei opened his eyes and forcefully pushed open the heavy glass dome. He saw that everyone else had already woken up and was waiting for him to leave the virtual world last.

"Yosh! Everyone's awake!"

"Then let's get out of this awful place quickly!"

"Yeah, before that guy Kaimania goes back on his word, we need to get back to the Duel Airship immediately!"

"Wait, just in case, shouldn't we try to destroy that virtual world?"

“No need…” Keihei Kaiba’s eyes were moist. “Before I left, Noa Kaiba had already activated the self-destruct program. Before long, the virtual world created by Gosaburo Kaiba will also be completely destroyed…”

"Really? Keihei..." Jonouchi was somewhat taken aback; even now, he still couldn't completely believe that guy.

Otogi Ryuji said, "No matter what, let's get out of here first! Even if Kaiba Gosaburo really wants to carry out his plan, won't he need some time to prepare?"

“But… we weren’t here when we came in, so how are we going to get out now?” Kyoko looked around, but apart from the cold, metal walls, she couldn’t see a single door.

Just then, a loud explosion rang out from somewhere on the submarine, causing the ground beneath everyone's feet to shake violently.

"What?! What happened?!"

"Tsk... Are they expecting us to be buried with them?!"

As everyone gasped in surprise, the virtual projection lit up, projecting Kaimania's face onto them.

Just like the disruptive powder before, Kaibania had now transformed into an almost transparent energy body, standing amidst the light. He presented the surveillance footage that the submarine had just detected to everyone and urged them on:

"You must get out of here immediately! This guy has used some unknown force to severely damage the submarine. It will sink completely into the sea soon!"

Everyone stared in shock at the surveillance footage, where an evil youth wielding the Millennium Staff destroyed most of the submarine's facilities with the power of the Millennium Item, and then slowly walked back to the Duel Airship amidst triumphant and arrogant laughter.

"Malik?!"

"Is this guy trying to kill us all here?!"

"Tsk! Damn it!!"

"But, Noah, how are we going to get out of here?!"

The flames from the explosion were spreading toward where everyone was. With time running out, Kaimana raised her hand and gave the submarine an order.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, an iron wall collapsed.

A wide road, but covered in flames, then appeared before everyone's eyes.

The bright red warning lights began to flash, and the piercing alarm echoed throughout the submarine. No one dared to linger any longer and immediately fled along that road.

Before leaving, Youche took one last look at the Duel Disk in his hand. Several new cards were at the top of the deck. In addition to Unity of the Clan and Gathering of the Clan, Disruption Red, Disruption Blue, and Disruption Pink were also among them.

"call……"

With a sigh of relief, Youche let out a long breath.

Finally, all three troublemakers were rescued!

After confirming that no Pokémon had been left behind, Yuche retrieved the Duel Disk and prepared to follow the others.

Just then, Kaimania suddenly called out to him: "Wait a minute, Yuzuru."

Stopping in his tracks and looking at the projection from the virtual world in the firelight, You Che asked, "What? Is there anything else?"

"Sizzle——————————————"

A somewhat damaged mechanical arm emerged from the wall, holding several cards in its hand.

That's Gosaburo Kaiba's spirit, and the series of cards derived from it—the Mediocre Demon.

Kaiba Noa slowly said, "Yuche, perhaps this request is a bit excessive, but for Ojama... no, for the sake of the Disruptors, you shouldn't abandon him, right?"

You Che frowned slightly.

After some subsequent events, he learned that this mediocre card sprite was actually transformed from the doctor who created this virtual space.

After forcing the doctor to his death, Kaiba Gosaburo transformed him into a card spirit in the same way he preserved Noa Kaiba's life, and then used a technique similar to the Disruptor Demon's modification to turn him into his current demonic form.

Kaimania continued, "Youche, perhaps... for a person, the greatest pain is not being able to die a quick and painless death..."

"I don't know what means to rescue the Doctor. Although this place is about to be destroyed, the Doctor is no longer a vessel for the virtual world. Even if the submarine sinks into the sea, he will continue to wander in this world in the form of an elf."

"You should know the pain of the Disruptors who were once displaced, so please, for now, accept the Doctor's card."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we should try to relieve them of their suffering!"

Taking the cards, You Che's gaze turned serious: "Is that all?"

Haimania nodded.

"Click————————————"

He inserted the newly acquired cards into the Duel Disk and strode along the passage to chase after the group.

Gazing at Youche's retreating figure and the six mischievous spirits that appeared and disappeared beside him, Kaiba Noa, standing in the virtual world, shed tears again for some reason.

"Naya!!!"

In the collapsing and shattered world, Gosaburo Kaiba's unwilling roar rang out once more.

"Stop all of this immediately!"

"Do you really intend to completely destroy the future your father created with his own hands?!"

Seeing Yu Che and the others disappear from sight, Kaiba Noa turned around and looked at the extremely disheveled Kaiba Gosaburo. He replied calmly:

"Father? Isn't our relationship purely based on self-interest?"

"To you, I am just a useless pawn."

Upon hearing this, Kaiba Gosaburo was taken aback and recalled what he had said to Kaiba Noa earlier.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, it seemed that there was only one way for him to turn things around!

If he could make his long-cherished dream come true, there was nothing Gang Sanlang couldn't do!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out, and the usually arrogant Gosaburo Kaiba suddenly knelt before Noa Kaiba, speaking in an almost pleading tone:

"Naya, please, stop all of this!!"

"Relying on this world, relying on the highest level of network without any restrictions, we can completely dominate the entire human world!!"

"In just six months... no! At most three months, we can use nuclear weapons to threaten all of humanity into entering the empire we've created!!"
