Chapter 32: About Forgetting to Name Chapter Names Every Day

Driven by Haima's strong poker addiction, although the warm-up activities have not yet been completed, less than half an hour passed after the quarter-finals advanced to the semi-finals. "St. Anno"'s " The appearance of the "Sky Duel Arena" has changed drastically, and preparations have been made to decide the order of the next duel between the top four players.

Of course, although the duel is taking place now, there has never been a rule that stipulates that the video of the duel recorded at this moment must be broadcast live immediately. Record it now and wait until the warm-up is completed before broadcasting it at the original live broadcast time. You can even write hype titles in advance based on the final results and guide gambling on the dark web to make profits. Kuei Ping is responsible for many of these matters. It's so easy and no challenge at all.

It has only been used four times, [Blue Eyes White Dragon Lottery Machine GO! GO! 】 was abandoned by Kaiba without any hesitation and carried back to the storage room of the airship. It can be expected that Kaiba will not use the thing for a long time, or even until it cannot be used and has to be scrapped. Take it out and use it.

In a sense, as Kaiba himself said, he is not a nostalgic person. It's just that his speed of "loving the new and hating the old" is a little faster.

Hayato, Yugi, Kaiba and Jonouchi stood on the four circular platforms in the center of the hall, facing each other. According to the order in which they advanced to the semi-finals, the order of standing in the clockwise direction was Kaiba → Jonouchi → Hayato →Game.

At the edge of the hall, there was an additional elevator leading to the "Sky Duel Arena" outside the airship. Keppei, Kyoko, Honda, Shizuka, Peacock Mai, Isis and others entered it one after another and sat in the reserved seats. on the seat.

As the referee, Isono also walked into his special seat and began to announce the rules of the upcoming duel.

"The four duelists who have advanced to the top four of Duel City will proceed to the group stage to determine the order of the semifinals." He had eaten a few mints in the past half hour to make his throat sore. After feeling comfortable, Isono's voice was full of energy at this moment. There was no loudspeaker amplification, and the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present. "The rules applicable in the duel are a four-person melee!"

"The basic points of each duelist will be bound to the lifting platform under their feet. In the following competition, as the basic points of each player decrease, the lifting platform will automatically rise to the corresponding height. The first two people to reach the sky duel field will Two duelists will duel in one group, while the remaining two will form another group."

"In addition, I need to remind everyone that although it is called a 'lifting platform', the lifting platform that is raised due to the deduction of basic points will not be lowered due to the recovery of basic points, and the basic points paid by oneself will also be regarded as deduct."

Listening to Isono's explanation, Jonouchi scratched the back of his head with some confusion and looked at Yugi standing opposite him: "Although I don't understand it in general, in short, I just want to keep the basic score as close as possible to the opponent I want to duel with. Right?"

"It seems that Jonouchi, you have already thought about the opponent you want to duel with?" Hayato, standing on Jonouchi's left side, said with a smile.

Because of Hayato's addition, the list of the top four in Duel City is no longer consistent with the plot trend that Hayato knows. However, having traveled here for so long, Hayato has no idea of ​​"respecting the original". Rather, he is quite happy to change the original plot.

At least, the famous scene of "Death in the Castle" has little chance of appearing.

After hearing this, Jonouchi glanced at Kaiba standing on his right, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "I have long been looking forward to the opportunity to face off against this guy Kaiba. Time and time again, so stinky His face makes people angry just by looking at him. I finally got the chance to teach him a lesson, and I don’t want to miss it.”

"Hmph, you are a mediocre person who doesn't know how to live or die." Kaiba snorted coldly and glanced at Jonouchi, "You're just a mortal, what qualifications do you have to challenge my invincible [Blue Eyes]? From the beginning, you are not what I expected. Among the opponents list.”

He turned his attention to Hayato opposite Yugi on his right: "[La], [Osiris], and [Obelisk] in my hand, the duel king will only be decided between the three of us. And the winner will get the cards of all three fantasy gods."

Even though he had already qualified as a semi-finalist on the same level as Kaiba, Kaiba still had such an arrogant attitude and didn't take himself seriously at all. This made Jonouchi quite angry: "Then just watch. , President Kaiba. Don’t let your teeth get bitten by a mere mortal like me.”

Yugi and Hayato looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness in each other's eyes. Compared to Jonouchi, the two of them didn't have much demand for who their opponent would be in the next duel.

The aura between the four duelists was quite strong. Isono looked at Keppei who was sitting on the elevator. After receiving the vice-president's nod of approval, Isono said:

"Next, each duelist is asked to show a monster card with its face facing upwards as evidence to determine the order. The user of the monster with the highest attack power will get priority in the duel, and then the remaining duelists will duel in clockwise order. .”

"However, the monster cards that have been displayed cannot be used in the subsequent duel."

Hearing Isono's words, the four of them quickly picked out the cards presented, placed them on the duel plate that had been opened in advance, and then turned them over together.

On Kaiba's field is [Diamond Dragon], which is made of shining diamonds and has an attack power of 2100 points.

The monster in the city is a mutant Hulk that was splashed with purple dye. I would say it is [Maximum Six]. Its attack power is 1900 points, which is slightly inferior to [Diamond Dragon].

Hayato had no intention of taking the initiative. The monster that appeared on his field was [Death Stalker] with only 900 attack points. Out of the bond with his old friend who has been with him since the beginning of time travel, Hayato has always stuffed his cards in the spare deck around his waist.

To Hayato's surprise, the monster that appeared on the game field next to him was [Dark Truth-Gaia]. His attack power of 2300 points was no more than 200 points of Kaiba's [Diamond Dragon], thus seizing the right to attack first.

From this, the order of the duel was decided, and Isono announced: "Then, the order of the duel will be Muto Yugi, Kaiba Seto, Jonouchi Katsuya, and Kobayashi Hayato. I announce the semi-final group stage of the Duel City top four players. ,Start now!"

"Duel!"

"My turn, draw a card!" In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiang, who instantly replaced the appearance of the game, pulled out a card from the deck, took a look at it, and put it into his hand, looking at The other three people were inspected.

Although he actually has no obsession with the next opponent, considering that in order to retrieve his memory, Yami Yugi must collect the cards of the three phantom gods. Theoretically, there will be at most two duels next, which means that Yugi's opponents should be Hayato and Kaiba as much as possible.

Therefore, although I feel sorry for Jonouchi, he is tentatively the target that the game will target next. As long as Jonouchi is eliminated first, and then he only needs to concentrate on killing one of Hayato or Kaiba, then he can be divided into a group with the other person.

"Summon a monster in face-side defense position, then I cover three cards, and the turn ends."

In this four-person melee, the first three people who take action do not have the ability to enter the combat stage. They have to wait until the fourth round, which is Hayato's turn on the right side of the game, before he can enter the combat stage and fight against the others. People initiate active attacks.

"Hmph, did you choose a defensive tactic before your own battle phase, Yugi? My turn..." You can tell it was Kaiba with his iconic snort, and he drew a card from the deck. Then, activate it directly on the field, "draw a card, and then summon [Dark Path Transformer-Zach] in attack position.

On Kaiba's field, a magician-type monster dressed as a clown appears. The attack power of 600 points is quite weak. In Kaiba's deck, which implements "Strike is the truth", the fact that a monster with an attack power of less than 1500 appears is quite abnormal in itself, not to mention that Kaiba attacks directly on the field. It means summoning, clearly telling others that he is going to use a trap.

"Cover two cards, my turn is over." Kaiba covered two cards and ended his turn just as quickly.

However, although the cards are covered, Hayato can swear by the soul of Malik sleeping in the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]. If there is no [Death Card Destruction Virus] in those two cover cards, Malik will swallow feces on the spot. commit suicide.

Even Yugi looked helpless, obviously guessing Kaiba's tactics. Wouldn't Kaiba use some new tricks? How could he use this trick all the time? After this live broadcast, I'm afraid duelists all over the world will know what Kaiba's Gaika is, right?

Then, the unexpected No. 1 duelist, Jonouchi, started his turn.

"This guy Kaiba actually added a card like the game. What kind of card could it be?" Jonouchi, the only one among the people present who hadn't figured out what Kaiba's cover was, looked confused and pulled out a card. " All in all, I just summoned a powerful monster."

"Activate the magic card [Fusion], and I will use [Demon's Summon] and [Red-Eyed Black Dragon] in my hand as the materials for fusion." After playing the two cards in his hand, Jonouchi actually used two of them in the first turn. The cards were gathered in his hand, "Come out, [Devil Dragon-Dark Demon Dragon]!"

Black flames and dark thunder gathered into a huge whirlpool, and the [Devil Dragon-Dark Demon Dragon] that Jonouchi used to defeat Peacock Dance appeared on the field!
