Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

Chapter 232: The affirmation from the "King of Heavy Traps" Xiao Biao
A large, brown theropod dinosaur appeared in front of Naia in response to his call.

Facing the opposite seahorse, the carnivorous dinosaur with an attack power of 2000 points let out a roar that was filled with shock and coercion.

Naia, who is similar in appearance to Kaiba, also controls the same type of high-attribute series monsters.

What is different from Kaiba is that Naia, as the administrator of this virtual space, has the most powerful deck leader in the world, the "Ark of Miracles (Noah's Ark)" with multiple effects. .

"...Fighting! I use [Giant Spinosaurus] (attack power: 2000) to attack [Lance Dragon] (defense power: 0)!"

Using her right hand to draw a gun and shoot, Naia gave the command to attack the monsters on the field.

As his words fell, the dinosaur standing on his field also quickly attacked the direction of the seahorse in the next moment, tearing the [Lanceosaurus] into pieces in one bite.

Since the monster is destroyed in defense position, Kaiba will not be harmed during this process.

"Oh, as a price for having the penetration ability, [Lance Dragon] is a monster that will be forced into defense position after attacking. Thanks to this negative effect, you don't need to be hurt, Seto."

"Humph……"

Naia said the above in a mocking tone towards Kaiba, who still had 1400 health points left.

As he said, due to the superposition of various coincidences, Kaiba did avoid the damage caused by the battle, although the damage was actually not very high.

"Seto, you are just a substitute that my father found for me, a stepping stone for me. I am far better than you in every aspect."

Naia, who raised her arms and pointed to the sky above her head, glanced at everyone, said in a calm tone: "Ever since I lost my body due to an accident, I have been living in this virtual world."

"Sure enough, Naia is really dead..."

Hearing the answer that was almost a personal admission from his own mouth, the faces of everyone watching couldn't help but have a complicated expression.

Strictly speaking, Naiya, like the previous five elders, is a conscious life form that has lost its body and exists in this world as a soul.

It's just that he was still young when he became like this, and he didn't have as many desires in his heart as the five elders.

In Naia's mind, she still has the basic qualities of a duelist, and Naia herself hates cheating in sacred duels.

It was precisely because of his indirect help that Jonouchi was able to wake up from the previous duel and usher in the victory of the duel with confidence.

"No, I didn't really die, but I was resurrected from the abyss of death in a way beyond your understanding."

After correcting everyone's inaccurate remarks, Naia put one hand on her waist and continued in a relaxed tone: "Although at the beginning, I felt a little overwhelmed by this state, but after getting used to it, After that, this state was actually surprisingly comfortable."

In the human world, there are all kinds of complex information.

Naia, who exists in the virtual world as a data body, neither feels sleepy nor needs to eat or excrete. He has enough time and energy to freely swim and surf in the ocean of the Internet.

For ordinary people, complex books that seem obscure and difficult to understand, as well as video materials that take ordinary people several hours to read, can be understood by Naia, who has an electronic brain, in an instant.

Thanks to his current state, Naia, who has spent several years in the virtual world, understands almost everything that humans can recognize.

From the birth of the universe to how the current world is created, Naia knows everything clearly, and these things also rely on intelligent characteristics that cannot be obtained by the human body.

From Naia's perspective, as long as Kaiba himself is still bound by his body, he will never be able to surpass his current self.

"Seto, let me tell you this, there is a huge difference between you and me now!"

"Hehehehe...hahahahahaha!!!"

"Huh? What's so funny?"

Naia, who was confused about Kaiba laughing for no reason and couldn't help frowning, asked him: "Are you crazy because you think you can't surpass me and realize the gap between us?"

"Hmph...the creation of heaven and earth? Human wisdom? Boring!"

Waving his arms violently, Kaiba let out a disdainful snort at Naia: "In my opinion, these things are just the huge complaints you listed!"

"What did you say?!"

Naia's long-term efforts were opposed by the person she most wanted to recognize. Naia's inner weakness was poked, and her expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Damn Kaiba, how dare you say such a thing!Are you so unwilling to admit the fact that you are not as good as me?

"Naiya, the tragedy that happened to you has nothing to do with me, but even if you become what you are now, you are still a human being, and the reason why you just said these long and boring truths to me is just... I just want to use this to seal the cowardice in my heart."

Kaiba, who raised his arm in the direction of Naia and slowly clasped his palm, made a concluding statement to him: "There is no doubt that this is the stupid narcissism that is unique to humans!"

"Stupid? Are you trying to disturb me by saying some random words there?"

Naia, who didn't accept Kaiba's conclusion about herself at all, and whose face wasn't very pretty, made a rebuttal sound from her mouth.

After hearing what he said, Kaiba immediately continued: "Really? Then let me ask you, if that guy Gosaburo really intends to make you the heir to Kaiba Company, then why doesn't he hand over everything in the company to you? , but still firmly in his own hands?"

"Why did he go out of his way to adopt me and create some kind of competition between you and me? Why do you think he used this roundabout way that doesn't suit his character?"

"This is because……"

After understanding what Kaiba wanted to express, Naia, whose IQ was also not low, was unable to give any effective reply.

For this question, he actually already had the answer in his mind.

It's just that he has been unwilling to face it proactively.

"Hmph, Naia, if you are qualified to compete with me, you should have noticed it."

Staring at the silent Naia opposite, Kaiba conveyed to him with a firm tone: "That's because I thought that Gosaburo Kaiba, the man who has become a computer AI, has begun to distrust you! Whether you are still his son or not, Gozaburo has already bought the seeds of doubt in his heart!"

Naia Kaiba: "...!!!" The thing that she was most reluctant to admit in her heart was ruthlessly revealed by Kaiba at this moment, and Naia's eyes tightened uncontrollably in an instant, thinking back to He remembered what happened when he just woke up in this world.

At that time, he thought the accident that happened to him was just a nightmare.

The first time he woke up in his room, he tried to look for his father's figure, but what he finally saw was Gozaburo's figure across a screen.

To Naia, who was confused about his status, Gosaburo, who looked complicated, informed him of his current status and the new life he would face next.

Naiya, whose body has died, will exist in the virtual space in the form of a computer AI, or a soul body. In the real world, Naiya's body and his brain have been connected to this military institute through a petri dish. The fortress is integrated into one.

Although he expressed his feelings to Naia, after realizing the dark side in Naia's heart, Gosaburo still made the decision to adopt the Kaiba brothers.

From that moment on, no matter what efforts Naia made, he could not see a look of relief from Gosaburo.

And Kaiba Gozaburo seemed to have forgotten his son Naia, leaving him alone in the depths of the sea fortress, and never came to visit him again.

"Even a careerist like Gozaburo cannot calculate such things as people's hearts. Naiya, after all, what you see is just a virtual world..."

"Unlike those false scenes set by programs, the world in which humans live is in true chaos, a world intertwined with ultimate light and darkness."

"The complexity and strength of living there are things that only those who are there can learn."

Facing Naia, Kaiba conveyed: "After resurrecting you in this way, I think Gosaburo must have been confused for a long time, and at that time he finally thought of a way, and that was to let him take his fancy. Someone with a suitable body, that is, Seto Kaiba, is here to have a duel with you."

Kaiba Naia: "..."

Seto Kaiba: "If you win a duel with someone with a physical body, maybe he will admit your excellence frankly."

"It's so pitiful, Naia..."

Shaking his head, he raised his arms and pointed to the sky above his head. A complicated look flashed in Kaiba's eyes: "In the process of living in this cold world, you have gradually lost the most important thing as a human being. Feelings and empathy as humans…”

"Hehehehe...Seto, did you make something wrong?"

Finally, Naia had a new reaction.

After hearing Kaiba's speech, Naia retorted to what he just said: "I didn't lose human emotions, but transcended them! The reason why I did this was to go on the road. The path of the 'Creator'!"

"Hmph, you created such a virtual world and you dare to call yourself the 'Creator'? It's really hilarious!"

"Really? Don't you agree with me?"

Noticing the mocking look on Kaiba's face, Naia sighed slightly: "In that case, let me show you proof that I understand people's hearts."

Raising his right arm and raising his three fingers towards Kaiba, Naia made his prophecy towards Kaiba: "Seto... I prophesy in the name of the 'Creator', in the next creation of heaven and earth. In three rounds, something will happen that shakes the meaning of your existence."

"Shaken the meaning of my existence?"

Thinking about Naia's declaration words specially spoken at this time, and observing the determined expression on his face, Kaiba subconsciously frowned and did not answer.

On the other side, Naia, who made this declaration to her opponent Kaiba, also waved her hand to end the current round at the same time as the battle ended: "My round is over, Sa... Seto." , it’s your turn next.”

"Hmph, I don't know what you plan to do in the third round... but my path must be decided by myself, and no one has the right to influence it!"

Kaiba waved his arms widely and came to his turn. He waved vigorously and pulled out the card at the top of the deck, adding it to his hand in a fashionable gesture: "...my turn. , draw cards!”

"Going! In the main stage 1, I activate the magic card - [Pot of Desire] from my hand. Based on the effect of this card, I draw two new cards from the deck."

A large green pot with a ferocious expression and big yellow teeth appeared in front of him as it emerged from the light following Kaiba's movements.

As Kaiba drew two new cards from the deck, the [Pot of Desire] that had completed its mission was also shattered into pieces, erasing traces of its existence from the field, and incidentally ended his sinful and short life. .

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Emperor Seahorse] as the leader of the deck! When a light attribute monster is advanced summoned, one less sacrifice is required."

"With this effect, I can summon a level 5 monster from my hand without the need for sacrifices. Come out! I normally summon - [Dimensional Dragon] (Defense Power: 1500) in defense position!"

The green flying dragon with four wings appeared in front of Kaiba's body as he moved.

This dragon-type monster has a very similar appearance to a certain level 3 Xyz monster. It has a resistance effect that prevents it from being destroyed by unspecified magic and trap cards.

Like Hades, this monster must be targeted by an effect in order to affect him.

"Finally, I ambush three cards and the round ends!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kaiba, who had a rather petty demeanor, ambushed three cards in his hand into the backcourt, and ended the current round in such a domineering manner.

"It's not good. The [Giant Spinosaurus] on Naia's field has an attack power of 2000 points. The monster on Kaiba's side is no match for it... By the next turn, that 5-star monster will also be defeated. broken!"

Observing the monsters on both sides back and forth, Jonouchi couldn't help but worry about Kaiba's situation in his heart.

"Well... I remember that [The Giant Spinosaurus] shouldn't be able to launch direct attacks. What exactly is Kaiba doing..."

In the situation just now, Kaiba actually didn't need to summon a monster.

In this way, Naia has no way to let the dinosaurs on the field launch a direct attack on him.

However, even knowing this, Kaiba still used the effect of Deck Leader to summon monsters.

Staring at the seahorse on the field, Yu Ling couldn't help but think about the reason why he did this.

"If it were anyone else, this state might be very dangerous, but it would be different if it were Kaiba-kun. I believe he must have done this considering the current state!"

His eyes swept across Kaiba's backcourt, which was full of security, and Xiaobiao's eyes suddenly showed a look of certainty: "Among those cards, there should be cards that can avoid the battle."
