Chapter 127: The World of Duel Connection

On the streets of "Domino City", vehicles and people flow continuously, creating a peaceful and busy scene.

But the huge shadow passing through the sky broke this ordinary scene. With the roar of the giant dragon, a white dragon flew between the buildings, but strangely, not even one pedestrian on the ground raised his head.

On the back of the silver dragon, there stood a man wearing a knee-length windbreaker and a helmet with a dragon head shape like the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on his head. It was Kaiba Seto. With the help of the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] under his feet, he overlooked the familiar scenery of Domino City in another way, and even Kaiba couldn't help feeling a little excited.

But just as he was enjoying the feeling of being on top, a voice came from behind him: "Is this the world of Duel Link? I've decided, I'm going to destroy this world."

Turning his head, Kaiba saw Hayato, who was dressed like a doctor in a white coat, holding a pink film camera and taking pictures of the scenery of "Domino City".

Under Kaiba's feet was the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] flying at high speed. Hayato certainly couldn't catch up with Kaiba by himself, as he wasn't some guy named Jose. Under the feet of Hayato, who was dressed a little strangely, was a three-headed mechanical dragon - [Electronic Terminator Dragon].

"Hmph, it's just a fake imitating the perfect posture of [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]." Glancing at [Cyber-Ender Dragon], Kaiba said contemptuously, "Is it because you use such a monster that your movements are so slow, Hayato Kobayashi?"

"Please, even if the settings of the virtual image can be freely changed according to my preferences, it still takes time." Hayato rolled his eyes at Kaiba and complained, "The reason why you are faster than me is that you have already set up this image, so you can directly enter this world of Duel Link, Set."

"No, in this world of Duel Link, your name is 'Kaiba 'People', does this code name really have the ability to conceal your identity? And can your design not be designed without [Blue Eyes]? "

Hearing Hayato's words, Kaiba also refuted back: "[Blue Eyes] is a card that can become my trump card. Do you have the right to say such a thing with the code name of 'Genius Player K'?"

Kobayashi Hayato spread his hands and shrugged innocently, but his mouth curled up to reveal a sly smile, and suddenly shouted: "There is a broken ass!"

Hayato did not wear the duel disk, and he made a card-drawing action out of thin air. A monster card appeared in his hand and suddenly played it in the air in front of him. Obviously, the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] under his feet brought himself to the sky, and there was a strong cold wind from the height, but the monster card placed in front of him was not affected by the airflow at all, and just stopped in the air.

After the card was placed, a scarlet-bodied mechanical demon appeared holding a lightning spear. As soon as it appeared, it spread its wings and flew into the air, catching up with Hayato and Kaiba who were moving at high speeds. It also threw the lightning spear in its hand at Kaiba who had no monster guard.

"Do you dare to defy me who has [Hellfire Machine - Baal]!"

"Hmph, I've seen through your plan!" Hayato suddenly launched an attack, but Kaiba had expected it. He also made a card-drawing gesture, and placed a card that appeared out of thin air in front of him and said, "[Crystal Dragon], hold that monster back for me!"

The slender crystal dragon, whose entire body was made of blue and white sharp crystals, appeared in front of Kaiba, and closed its wings to block the spear of [Hellfire Machine - Baal]. The price was that several cracks appeared on its transparent crystal body, but it still opened its wings again to catch up with Hayato and Kaiba who were flying at high speed, and fought with [Hellfire Machine - Baal] summoned by Hayato.

But this was just the beginning. Hayato and Kaiba were seen walking one after another between the high-rise buildings in Tomino City, summoning their monsters one after another, making the battle more complicated and affecting a wider range.

[Divine Shadow I-Nephilim], [Dragon Gear Trick-Dragon Meteor=QUA], [Dragon Knight-Gaia], [Hellfire Machine-Tiera]

[Tyrant Blast Wind Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], [Abyss Eyes White Dragon]

From time to time, there were several attacks with very tricky attack angles that passed over the monsters responsible for protection and hit the opponent directly. The two of them also kept adjusting their positions in the air with the help of their mounts, and the avoided attacks fell without reduction in the Tong Minye City, which was the background of the two people's battle environment, and easily destroyed the high-rise buildings along the way and turned them into ruins.

However, even if the two changed their routes and adjusted their directions many times on the way, the area of ​​Tong Minye City was only so big and was not enough for the two of them to toss. Not long after, Hayato and his monsters arrived at the Tong Minye City Pier as the destination. The strong wind brought by the slowdown of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] that lowered its altitude almost split the water surface.

"Ha, Kobayashi Hayato scored first, I'm one round ahead."

Looking back at Kaiba who was only one step slower than him, Hayato said proudly, and Kaiba was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and immediately denied it: "Where did you learn math? This is clearly a draw."

"Ha, I think we will never be able to tell the winner in this world." Looking at the monsters around Kaiba, Hayato raised his fingers and counted, "One, two, three, nine? Not bad."

"Maybe." Looking at the monsters around Hayato, there were as many as nine at the same time, Kaiba raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "But in this world, we have plenty of time."

The upper limit of summoning monsters does not exist in this world, or to put it another way, the upper limit of the number of summoned monsters is no longer determined by the grids on the duel disk, but by the willpower of Hayato and Kaiba. The stronger the willpower, the more it can support them to summon a large number of powerful monsters.

Moreover, although they are considered as their own mounts, Hayato and Kaiba each summoned a full ten monsters, but this is still not the limit for the two of them. It's just that the space of Domino City is enough for them to summon ten monsters each to fight. If there are more, it will lose the fun of commanding monsters to fight, and it will become a boring game of pure size comparison and standing still.

"There is indeed plenty of time, but are you sure you want to continue fighting in this environment?" Hayato pointed behind Kaiba, and Kaiba turned his head to look at Domino City, or the area that was once called Domino City. In the battle between the two, which was not even full-scale, the high-rise buildings were completely destroyed, leaving only a piece of broken walls, and from time to time, the ruins could not stand on their own and collapsed.

"It has become unobstructed, and it will be boring if it does." Kaiba raised his hand nonchalantly, "But it doesn't matter at all."

A virtual operation panel appeared in front of Kaiba as he moved. He opened the interface called "Environment Settings" after pressing a few random buttons on it and pressed a button.

"Reset!"

At the moment Kaiba pressed the button, Hayato saw that everything in front of him seemed to be a video that had been stopped, and everything was stagnant at this moment. The falling rubble was fixed in the air, the splashing waves stopped falling, and the clouds were motionless. Then, everything quickly went back like a rewind, and in just a blink of an eye, the ruins of Tomino City turned back to the prosperous Tomino City before the two fought!

After changing the environment back to Tomino City, Kaiba turned to Hayato and said, "So, are we going to have a second round?"

"No, I don't want to see my home destroyed for the second time, even if it's fake." Looking at the villa area in the distance, Hayato easily found his home in reality. In the previous battle, someone's attack landed there and destroyed the entire villa area, but now it has returned to its original appearance under Kaiba's "reset". "And it feels a little worse, this world."

While speaking, Hayato also raised his hand to call out the operation interface, and moved his finger to the bottom. The "Exit" button stayed there without being deleted, so he clicked it.

The scenery in front of him quickly faded and dimmed, and Hayato's eyes were occupied by darkness, followed by the sound of a mechanical lock being opened, and a gap appeared in front of Hayato.

Raising his hand and touching his head, Hayato grabbed the open gap, and lifted it up and took off the helmet on his head.

On the sofa opposite him, Kaiba also took off the pure white helmet, looked at Hayato with an unhappy face and said, "If you don't want to play the second round, why did you ask me to reset the Domino City?"

"Hey, I'm helping you test the various functions of the system to see if there are any bugs. If it is fully open to the public in the future, but something goes wrong and turns it into a death game, that would be bad." Hayato put the helmet in front of him with a smile and said to Kaiba, "Also, don't you really consider adding a voice activation function to this thing? I think the activation phrase 'Link's dead head' is pretty good."

"There are only two Neurons helmets at present. One is the prototype in my hand, and the one in your hand is the test machine I just asked someone to make temporarily." Putting his helmet on the table, Kaiba moved his neck slightly, "Instead of adding those boring things, it is better to continue to improve its structure to reduce weight and increase battery life."

Seeing Kaiba's actions, Hayato also moved his sore neck: "If you don't say it, I really don't think that the weight of this thing really needs to be improved. It's just that I have been sore neck, If you play for a long time, you will easily get cervical spondylosis if you are not lying in bed.”

"The hardware problem is easy to solve. After all, this is my work a few years ago. The important thing is the software - the virtual world part that I tentatively named 'Duel Link'." He crossed his fingers and posed with his seahorse. He captured a certain commander's signature move, but it's a pity that he didn't wear sunglasses, otherwise the reproduction would be even higher. "You ran away without permission in the middle of the sentence. What did you mean by 'it's not even close' just now?"

"That's what it means literally. Although the degree of restoration is very high, in the final analysis, the world connected by the duel can only be regarded as a simulated 'scene', not a 'world'." Hayato spread his hands, "Even if it is filled in more Multiple scenes and NPCs are useless, too empty.”

"Hmph, don't worry about this problem, it will be solved soon." Kaiba's mouth curled up, "After the Neurons helmet is released, players will naturally enter that world to fill in the missing content, if it is just a problem in this area , there is no problem in the duel-connected world.”

"So, how did you observe the other thing?"

Hearing this, Hayato shook his head: "Unfortunately, I didn't find anything worthy of the person you mentioned. After all, I haven't seen what the 'little girl' you mentioned looks like until now."

While speaking, Hayato looked at the surveillance video that stopped at the time before the two of them put on their helmets and entered the Duel Link world, and pointed at Kaiba who was drawing cards in it and said: "Even I can only see you in it, there is no such thing as a little girl."

"Humph, the guy named 'Sera' who can crack the security measures of the Kaiba Group and sneak into such a deep place must have a very powerful hacker as an accomplice." Kaiba said unhappily, "The surveillance camera must have been hacked by her and modified to a picture without her. It seems that I need to update the firewall of the Kaiba Group in the near future."

"Yes, that's right, brother. It must be done by hackers, it can't be a supernatural event." Hayato perfunctorily said to Kaiba and looked at the surveillance video again.

After Shadi took Aishin away, Hayato dealt with the gangsters who had offended him and rushed to Kaiba Group. However, Kaiba acted quickly and dealt with Aishin's accomplice who had come to find him before he arrived - a teenage girl named "Sera".

But when Kaiba looked through the surveillance video and wanted to find Sera who had entered Kaiba Group without permission and somehow ran away, he strangely found that Sera had never appeared in the surveillance video at all, so there was no way to find out the other party's true identity.

However, Hayato reminded Kaiba in time that he could actually find clues from Sera's main target - Neurons helmet and the matching Duel Link world, so Hayato and Kaiba entered the Duel Link world together to find clues, although it later became a battle between the two who were very playful.

The name "Duel Link" is the same as the name of a mobile game in Hayato's previous life, but it should be just a coincidence. While fighting, Hayato also carefully observed the world called Duel Link, but to be honest, he really didn't find anything worth Sera's attention, and his impression of Sera's character was not as deep as that of Blue God.

After all, no matter how cute a little loli is, can it be as interesting as playing cards?
