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

This obscure term was unfamiliar to Honda and Kyoko.

They only knew that OTK meant one-shot kill, but they had never seen this so-called FTK.

The two looked at the playback on Otogi Ryuji's computer.

Because the match venue was quite far away, by the time Sieg Lloyd arrived, Yuche had already begun setting up for an OTK. However, just as Yuche completed the kill, Sieg Lloyd, who had the first move, defeated his opponent with an incredibly flashy combo!

"How is this possible?!" Honda didn't quite see it clearly, but he was still incredibly shocked. "Isn't it true that you can't attack on the first turn when you go first? How could he defeat his opponent directly with a monster?!"

Kyoko, who was good at English, paused for a moment and guessed, "So the F in FTK stands for First, meaning first? In other words, FTK is actually harder than OTK because its condition is that the duelist defeats the opponent in the first round?"

Ryuji Otogi nodded in agreement with Kyoko's explanation: "That's right, that's what FTK means. Just like Honda said, duelists can't attack in the first round, but in the world of duels, there are two time-related cards that can circumvent this restriction."

Kyoko suddenly realized: "It's a Quick-Play Spell Card! Time Leap?!"

“And there’s also the Time Goddess’s prank,” Otogi Ryuji added. “That duelist named Sieg Lloyd achieved FTK using the Time Goddess’s prank.”

"This time, when he encountered Jonouchi, he probably didn't draw the components that could achieve a combo, so he chose to wait for his ace to come through by almost skipping the turn."

"It's regrettable that Jonouchi couldn't summon a monster to gain an advantage, but compared to that, it's actually more fortunate that the opponent had a bad hand."

After hearing this explanation, the two finally understood why Otogi Ryuji said that Jonouchi was actually lucky.

However, one thing we must be concerned about is that just because Sieg Lloyd didn't draw an ace in his starting hand doesn't mean he won't draw one later. If he gets that kind of terrifying card, Jonouchi will be in danger!

During the match, Jonouchi, unaware of his predicament, looked smug. In his eyes, his opponent having a bad hand was a great thing. Little did he know that Sieg Lloyd was not without monster cards, but deliberately hiding them in his hand, plotting a powerful and decisive blow.

A new card was drawn into my hand—a low-level Earth monster!

Jonouchi smiled excitedly, summoned the monster to the field, and launched a powerful attack in conjunction with the Equip Spell Card.

But Sieg Lloyd simply flipped the card aside, blocking the attack and filtering the cards in his hand once again.

At this point, even if the city was slow to realize it, it began to notice that something was amiss.

The opponent has already swapped and changed their hand twice in a row, which is clearly a burst-damage play similar to the sealed Exodia!

Jonouchi became cautious, buried a card, and ended his turn.

"Humph~"

Zig Lloyd smiled dismissively and continued to filter his hand unhurriedly, while keeping an eye on the time.

Seeing his opponent's distracted expression, an enraged Jonouchi angrily played the rare monster card he had recently acquired: "You bastard! A duel is a duel, how dare you be so unserious!!"

"Since that's how it is, then I'll let you suffer a good taste of bitterness!!"

"My turn!! Draw a card!!"

"Using Earth's gunners as sacrifices, I hereby summon—Android Psycho-Shocker!!"

"This card's effect is that while this card is on the field, all Trap Cards on the field are negated and all Trap Cards are destroyed!!"

"Go!! Attack directly!!!"

"boom------------------"

With his backcourt blocked, Sieg Lloyd could only take the hit head-on, and the high combat damage made his meticulously styled hair a little messy.

After a series of attacks, Jonouchi, who had gained a slight advantage, became smug.

A slightly enraged Sieg Lloyd scoffed, "A clown is a clown. Because you're destined to be wiped out, there's no need for me to have a serious duel with you!"

"But you foolishly believe that you can defeat me with your crude tactics?"

"This is utterly ridiculous!!"

"Then, let me show you what a truly magnificent attack looks like!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Valkyrie's Ride!!"

"Beautiful Valkyries descended from Valhalla, appear!!!"

"Smack!"

"It's appeared!!"

"That's the card!!"

In the audience, Kyoko, Honda, and Otogi Ryuji all gasped in surprise.

In the last round, Sieg Lloyd used this card to defeat his opponent in the blink of an eye!!

The moment the card was hit, elegant and melodious music echoed throughout the underground cavern. Jonouchi looked around in bewilderment, thinking that there was a problem with KC Company's system.

But the next second, dazzling holy light descended from the sky, countless stars swept by in the radiance, a few beautiful rose petals drifted down, and four Valkyries gracefully descended on pure white winged horses!

Just one card summoned four monsters?!

Moreover, these four monsters all appear to be quite powerful!

Sieg Lloyd sneered:

"Now you truly realize the gap between us, don't you?"

"When the Spell Card - Valkyrie Ride is activated, I can Special Summon as many Valkyrie monsters as possible from my hand!!"

"It's too late for them to regret going against me now~"

"Bang!"

Four Valkyries with different abilities launched a trial against the enemy. The android Psycho Shocker was instantly annihilated and its power stolen without even a chance to resist!

After clearing the battlefield within the city, Sieg Lloyd waved his arm, commanding the four monsters to launch a joint attack!

The astonishing combined attack power surprised many viewers watching the battle.

"Whoosh————————————————"

As he brandished the holy sword, Sieg Lloyd, believing he had already won, glanced at the time again. A wicked smile crept across his face.

"Well, it's about time."

"Seto Kaiba, let's make this party even more fun~"

"Beep————————————"

Sieg Lloyd quietly pressed the button in his pocket.

Within two seconds, the entire virtual system of the volcano arena experienced a major malfunction!

The magma, which should have been flowing peacefully beneath the lava, suddenly erupted, and the temperature of the entire space rose rapidly under the influence of the virtual projection!

In addition, an accident also occurred at the entire White Dragon Park.

The Ferris wheel stopped rotating, the haunted house lost power completely, and various amusement park attractions related to virtual projection experienced widespread malfunctions!

It's important to know that Seto Kaiba's virtual projection system, when its power is maximized, can even be used in military warfare!

Those out-of-control 3D projections are not just ordinary images; they can also bring potentially fatal shocks to those around them!

"President Kaiba!!"

"Something terrible has happened! The park's facilities are malfunctioning!!"

"Problems have also occurred at the stadiums where matches are currently being held!!"

"I know!!" Seto Kaiba, who had been sitting in the control room the whole time, shouted in response, "Ever since the accident at the Dome Arena, I've installed a threshold mechanism based on the physics system on all the projection systems!! If the simulated impact is too strong, the equipment will automatically cut off the power!!"

Hearing this, the men who rushed over relaxed a little.

Seto Kaiba stared at the monitor screen with a serious expression.

This competition is practically a matter of life and death for the KC Group. As long as the competition can continue, it absolutely cannot be stopped unexpectedly!

The pre-arranged emergency personnel have begun to handle the malfunction according to the plan, and the sixteen duels on site are still ongoing.

Seto Kaiba believed in the qualities of these top duelists; even if the sky were to fall, they would persevere and finish the fight based on their convictions.

"The Five Giants... have your ghosts finally lost their patience?!"

Seto Kaiba's eyes turned cold as he began to mobilize all the surveillance equipment, trying to find evidence that the three mysterious duelists had secretly tampered with the equipment.

Once they obtain clues that confirm their connection to the incident, Seto Kaiba, as the official organizer of the event, can immediately halt their ongoing duel and arrest and detain them!

"Tap tap tap—tap tap tap tap—"

Seto Kaiba's long, slender fingers flew across the keyboard, trying to find some clues...

"Splash splash ...

Inside the Crystal Duel Arena, large shards of glass shattered, and blinding glare flashed continuously across the battlefield.

This is the duel ground between King and Kawakaze Chikuzen.

Relying on astonishing luck and skillful maneuvering, Kawakaze Chikuzen surprisingly gained the upper hand in the first few rounds, even slightly outmaneuvering Oogi?!

But this is just an appearance; Wang Yang's disadvantage is merely a pretense, a pretense of preparation.

A new card was drawn, followed by a series of fluid and dazzling maneuvers. Yugi easily countered Chikuzen's combo and fused to summon—Super Magician Swordsman—ending the match in one strike!

"This, how is this possible?!" Kawakaze Chikuzen, who was initially smug, muttered in shock.

Wang Yang deftly put away the duel disk and said coldly:

"You are the son of the five great figures, Ooka Chikuzen—Kawakaze Chikuzen, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, then these projection malfunctions on site must be the work of you guys!!"

Kawakaze Chikuzen laughed disdainfully, behaving like a street thug: "What evidence do you have to say that? You saw everything that happened during my duel, and I clearly didn't do anything!"

Before he could finish speaking, several men in suits rushed into the area and subdued Kawakaze Chikuzen.

"What?! What are you doing?!" Kawakaze Chikuzen shouted indignantly, "Is this how you treat contestants?!"

"Hmph, stop pretending. We have the evidence. Come with us!" The burly man in the lead showed his phone, which contained a clip of surveillance footage.

That was the footage of Kawakaze Chikuzen secretly planting a virus-laden hard drive in the Hakuryu Land Center building on the day the players reported for duty!

Kawakaze Chikuzen gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with shock.

That's impossible...

That adult said that as long as the hard drive is plugged in, all the surveillance footage from the KC system will be erased...

Something must have gone wrong!
