Chapter 267: Wrong Way to Open

After hearing Gozaburo's words, Kaiba was stunned for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but look up and laugh loudly.

"What kind of clumsy joke is this, Gozaburo?"

Gozaburo was not angry, just said: "Of course, I had already guessed your reaction, Seto. But that's only because you haven't been able to get rid of the shackles of the flesh and blood, and can't look at the problem from a higher perspective.

But it doesn't matter, I will help you see clearly."

He reached out, and the data stream gathered on his arm, turning into the appearance of a duel disk.

"Ho, interesting." Kaiba narrowed his eyes. "An invitation to a duel with me?"

"When you were a child, you defeated me in the field of chess I was most proud of, winning the opportunity to step into the Kaiba family."

Gozaburo said.

"And now, I challenge you in the field you are most proficient in. How about it Seto, do you accept?"

"Heh, interesting. The other you said the same thing before he died."

Kaiba chuckled.

"I said, I am different from the defective products of the old era." Gozaburo said calmly. "The intelligence, dueling, and calculation abilities we possess have exceeded your imagination."

He paused and smiled lightly.

"Fujiki You Xuan, I noticed that you are very concerned about that young man."

"Is this why you targeted him?" Kaiba asked. "Just because of my concern?"

"That's one aspect." Gozaburo paused. "It just so happens that he has also entered our domain. The intelligence I created with the best performance should have found him by now.

Let you see it, the strength of our new generation of intelligence after evolution."

Gozaburo waved his hand, and the picture was soon projected in the space.

It was the image of You Xuan and Delta dueling, just like a live broadcast.

You Xuan: "'Raiza the Storm Monarch', return 'Darkstorm Dragon' to the top of the opponent's Deck!"

"..."

You Xuan: "Trap Card 'Wind Spirit Art - Miyabi', return 'Darkstorm Dragon' to the bottom of the opponent's Deck!"

"..."

You Xuan: "Trap Card 'Phoenix Wing Wind Blast', bounce 'Darkstorm Dragon' back to the top of the opponent's Deck again!"

"..."

You Xuan: "Trap Card 'Dark Tribute Summon', summon 'Raiza the Storm Monarch' again and bounce 'Five-Headed Dragon' back to the Fusion Deck!"

Delta: "Ughhhhh!!!"

The AI put on a mask of pain and reached the edge of a rampage.

But the torture wasn't over yet.

"Conscription." You Xuan said. "Special Summon the 'Darkstorm Dragon' on the top of your Deck to my field."

Delta was already hopeless.

Gozaburo silently cut off the live broadcast image.

Well, it must be that I opened it the wrong way.

Kaiba was very satisfied with You Xuan's performance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Although the image was cut off, the duel had no suspense. He turned to sneer at Gozaburo, as if mocking.

Just this? This is your so-called new generation of intelligence with the best performance?

"Hmph, what a sinister brat." Gozaburo muttered.

"As you can see, Gozaburo. You know nothing about everything of a true duelist. But since you are so sincere in seeking death, I don't mind sending you on your way myself."

Kaiba also unfolded his duel disk.

"No matter when, no matter who, I will accept the challenge of a duel at any time. Come!"

"Good. Then the stake of this duel is yourself, Seto. If I lose, the program carrying my soul will be destroyed in this domain.

And if you lose, your consciousness will be digitized and remain by my side as my right-hand man forever."

Kaiba smiled confidently: "Hmph, if you can win, then do whatever you want."

"Duel!" x2

【Kaiba Seto, LP 4000】

【Kaiba Gozaburo, LP 4000】

Gozaburo: "I'll go first, draw."

Kaiba looked at the opponent calmly.

This guy... what means will he use to attack this time?

Last time when fighting Gozaburo's ghost in the virtual world, Gozaburo used Exodia the Forbidden One. Because that was the most painful defeat Kaiba had ever experienced at that time, and his first loss in a duel was to Yugi's Exodia.

What will it be this time?

"Normal Summon 'Skilled White Magician'." Gozaburo said.

【Skilled White Magician, ATK 1700】

"Skilled White Magician exists on the field, and gains a spell counter every time both players activate a Spell card."

Gozaburo revealed another card in his hand.

"First, activate Spell Card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the Deck, then discard two cards from my hand.

And at this moment, a spell counter is added to Skilled White Magician."

An indicator light on the white-robed mage was lit up.

"Then activate Spell Card 'Spell Power Grasp'." Gozaburo said. "Add a spell counter to a card on my field that can have spell counters placed on it.

Because a Spell card was activated, White Magician's counter increases by one. Then because of 'Spell Power Grasp's effect, increase by another one.

Therefore, 'Skilled White Magician's spell counters increase to three."

Three indicator lights on the white-robed mage were lit up together.

"After that, I can add another 'Spell Power Grasp' from my Deck to my hand."

Gozaburo drew the new Spell card that popped out of the Deck.

"Then use 'Skilled White Magician' with three spell counters as an Offering!

When a White Magician with three counters is sacrificed, I can Special Summon this card from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard——"

Gozaburo raised his arm high and shouted.

"The legendary dragon-slaying swordsman——

——Buster Blader, summon!"

【Buster Blader, ATK 2600】

"Buster Blader, huh." Kaiba snorted.

Of course he is no stranger to this thing.

After all, it was also one of the trump cards used by his only rival, Dark Yugi, back then. In that fateful battle in the arena in the sky, his Bai Long was defeated by the fusion of Dark Magician and Buster Blader.

"Not bad Seto, it is the warrior most suitable for dealing with you now." Gozaburo said.

Kaiba sneered: "Is that so? If it were 'that guy's' Buster Blader, perhaps it would indeed be something to be wary of. But can a third-rate duelist like you really control it?"

Gozaburo didn't answer: "I set three cards face-down, turn end."

"My turn, draw!"

Kaiba drew a card.

"First, activate Spell Card 'Melody of Awakening Dragon'! Discard one card from my hand, and I can add up to two monsters with 3000 or more ATK and 2500 or less DEF from my Deck to my hand!"

He discarded a card from his hand, then drew two cards from the Deck.

"Then reveal 'Blue-Eyes Bai Long' in my hand, Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes Alternative Bai Long'!"

【Blue-Eyes Alternative Bai Long, ATK 3000】

"Buster Blader's effect, its ATK increases by 500 for each Dragon-type monster on the opponent's field and Graveyard." Gozaburo said. "You summoned a Dragon-type, so ATK increases by 500."

【Buster Blader, ATK 2600 → ATK 3100】

"Doesn't matter." Kaiba sneered. "Blue-Eyes Alternative Bai Long's effect, once per turn, destroy one monster on the opponent's field at the cost of giving up this turn's attack.

Even if it's a dragon-slaying sword, it's futile in the hands of a third-rate swordsman."

Kaiba waved his hand.

"Let the Buster Blader retire!"

"Then activate face-down card, Trap 'Skill Prisoner'." Gozaburo said. "Select one card on my field, and monster effects that target this card are negated this turn.

I use 'Skill Prisoner' to protect 'Buster Blader'. Therefore, the effect of 'Blue-Eyes Alternative Bai Long' that targets Buster Blader is negated."

An invisible shield seemed to be put on Buster Blader, and the light bomb sprayed by Alternative Bai Long hit the barrier and was blocked, failing to deal actual damage.

"It seems it's not that easy, Seto."

Gozaburo said.

"Alright, the Bai Long's offensive was blocked, and Buster Blader's ATK has surpassed 'Blue-Eyes Bai Long'. Continuing to summon Dragon-types will only make it higher. Now what are you going to do?"
