Chapter 272: The King of Games World

"Seto, aaaaaah!"

The final scream sounded like the wail of a soul. Battling the white light, Gozaburo walked toward Kaiba with all his might, as if wanting to reach out to him one last time, but in the end, he could not touch him.

The brilliance of the White Dragon swept over him like an endless torrent, and his virtual body disintegrated rapidly under the scouring of the white light. Massive streams of data were washed away like water by the white light of the Burst Stream of Destruction, as if being annihilated in an endless river.

From beginning to end, Kaiba stood with his arms crossed, watching coldly as the red-suited figure dissipated.

"If you're dead, then just stay dead," Kaiba said. "There is no longer a place for you in this world."

The white light dissipated, and the remaining shadow had completely vanished from the flow of light. The pitch-black space returned to tranquility, leaving only silence.

A few seconds later, Kaiba suddenly spoke.

"Have you seen enough?"

After another brief silence, Fujiki You Xuan walked out from the shadows on the side, laughing, "President Kaiba is truly sharp; even in a virtual space, your vigilance hasn't diminished in the slightest."

However, he thought to himself, President, you like to sneak a peek at me playing cards every day, and when you don't watch, you even have your brother record it, so what's the harm in me secretly peeking at your card skills?

Fujiki You Xuan was in a pretty good mood right now.

Because of his experience exploring the Link System, he quickly became familiar with how to move and explore in this similar virtual space. Therefore, he soon learned to explore freely here.

During this time, he also encountered several of Gozaburo's other AI children and had a friendly exchange with them through duels. However, Delta was indeed as good as his word; he seemed to be the strongest among Gozaburo's children, and even Alpha, whom Fujiki You Xuan fought first, seemed to be a leader among this batch of AIs.

The rest could truly be called small fry, and Fujiki You Xuan handled them quite easily. While winning quickly, he was also able to share the joy of dueling with the AIs, and after they finished, they all seemed quite emotionally stirred.

At this moment, the President also seemed to associate this with the scene of Fujiki You Xuan's duel that Gozaburo had just shown him, and thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly. It was just unclear whether this smile indicated approval or if he felt the duel process itself was interesting.

Especially since the opposing camp this time had a personal vendetta with the President, and the Delta that Fujiki You Xuan faced seemed to be the most valued AI general under Gozaburo.

So, watching Delta evolve from calm to a mental breakdown in front of Fujiki You Xuan, until finally being killed by his own NTR'd monster, the President was still quite satisfied watching it.

One should be merciless toward enemies, crushing them both mentally and physically with the cruelest means; this is the way of a hegemon.

Just at this moment, a storm of data suddenly rolled up in the pitch-black space. A wind surged in the enclosed space, and the gathered data whipped up a vortex that reached the sky, within which appeared the image of some blood-colored demon.

An abstract, twisted, huge body with sharp claws and fangs, but its true appearance was so blurry it was almost impossible to see clearly. It let out a deafening roar, as if carrying endless sorrow and endless anger, and the data all over its body was constantly spilling outward, as if it were dying.

"Seto!!!"

The demon hissed and roared.

Kaiba frowned: "Gozaburo?"

"I... lost. But I will not go on the road alone..."

The vortex of data gathered toward his body, and the demon's shell expanded tenfold in an instant! The sharp claws slammed down overhead, carrying a whistling sound that tore through the air!

"I want you to come with me!"

Kaiba leaped backward, jumping lightly to avoid the strike of the sharp claws. The corridor where he stood was instantly pierced by the demon's claws, and a wave of data exploded outward.

"Seto!!!"

Gozaburo's demon continued to roar, trying to continue the pursuit.

"Tch, you persistent old thing... Blue-Eyes!"

A white-hot radiance erupted with Kaiba as the center, shining like a lighthouse in the pitch-black darkness. That light transformed into a barrier as if it had a spirit, blocking the demon's impact, then spiraled into the sky, transforming into the form of a spirit.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

"Burst Stream of Destruction!" Kaiba shouted, "Die again, Gozaburo!"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, the white dragon spat out a white light of destruction. The entire virtual space seemed to be pierced by the beam, the endless darkness was dispelled, and the wave of destruction swept away everything.

Facts proved that the power of spirits was equally applicable in virtual space, not to mention a god-level spirit like the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," which could even clash with the Three Phantom Gods in ancient Egypt three thousand years ago.

Gozaburo's digital ghost immediately paled before such extraordinary divine power, and the outline of the arrogant blood-colored demon was ruthlessly pierced through.

He let out a final roar, but was finally swallowed up in the dragon's roar. The body he had struggled to maintain finally disintegrated in the white light, turning into a stream of data and completely dissipating.

It's over.

A minute later, the torrent of data rolled past them. The darkness around them faded, as if it had truly been dispelled by the strike of the Dragon of Light.

Everything built by the virtual data, the space they were in, all vanished into thin air.

All virtual scenes receded, and after the system shut down, a scent mixed with electronic components and the cooling system wafted toward them.

The surrounding scene changed abruptly. Metal racks were neatly arranged on the walls, like silver fortresses guarding the server cluster. Each rack was packed with servers of various sizes, blinking with indicator lights. A faint buzzing sound filled the air, like a low melody emitted when the servers were running.

They returned to reality.

Seto Kaiba's digital ghost was defeated once again, and the data of this entire company was soon taken over by the Kaiba Corporation. From their server data, they also found data records proving that all hacker actions against the Kaiba Corporation and Industrial Illusions to date were carried out by Gozaburo and the AI he controlled.

But it's all over now.

What was taken over was not just their research data and materials, but also all the cards sealed in this building.

This time, Gozaburo seemed to have finally realized that things like warships had already been eliminated in this world, and playing cards was the true path. So this time, in order to deal with Kaiba, he had also collected and independently developed many new cards.

Now, naturally, they were all included in the Kaiba Corporation's pocket.

And Fujiki You Xuan also got what he wanted on this trip.

First was that god card "Future Fusion," a long-banned card that was violently used to dump the graveyard before its effect text was modified. And with the expansion of the card pool and more and more Fusion Monster cards requiring free fusion materials, the gold content of this thing in modern Yu-Gi-Oh would only increase year by year; if it hadn't been castrated and weakened, it would likely never see the light of day again in this lifetime.

Besides that, there were many other good things, and after entering the Kaiba Corporation's inventory, Fujiki You Xuan also obtained the authority to choose freely. He didn't stand on ceremony with Kaiba, and among them, he also selected many that he was interested in.

However, what surprised him a little was that the "Destruction Sword" deck that Gozaburo used, which almost targeted the Dragon race to death, was actually thrown into the inventory just like that.

Then he naturally had no reason not to choose this deck; this thing could almost be called the ultimate weapon against the Dragon race.

The surprising part was that the President actually didn't seem to mind this.

However, Fujiki You Xuan could roughly guess the President's thoughts.

That is, he doesn't care.

Whether it targets or not, what kind of race or attribute restraint, he doesn't care. No matter who uses what kind of tactics, as long as it is a challenge of a duel, he will accept it without fear.

This is the path of Seto Kaiba.
