Chapter 54 The Resumption of Group Matches

Eloka Torras is the nickname of Alcatraz Island, the destination of the "Santo Ann". It was once the center of Kaiba Corporation's military industry. It is also the remnant and taboo left by Kaiba Gosaburo's ambition to conquer the world. legacy. Before the transformation of Haima Company, many highly lethal arms and weapons were produced here and sold to the world.

Of course, that was a thing of the past. After Kaiba succeeded in seizing the throne, he ordered all the production lines on Alcatraz Island to be blown up, without even the thought of selling them to other arms companies.

Therefore, for Kaiba, Alcatraz has a special meaning, because in his eyes there is only the future, the past only represents the relics of the past, and the future has unlimited possibilities.

Seizing the title of Duel King here and saying goodbye to everything in the past is what a true overlord with an eye on the future should do.

As the airship approached, the people who escaped from the sea fortress discovered that on this Alcatraz Island, a silver-white tower at least 100 meters high could be seen in the distance.

At the same time, the ruins all over Alcatraz Island also came into their sight.

Such a brand-new high-tech tower was built in the dilapidated and dark ruins. The visual impact cannot be described as "strong". The contrast is so large that it is unforgettable at a glance.

After a short flight, the "Santo Annuo" finally arrived over Alcatraz Island without any danger, slowly landed in front of the silver-white tower, and landed safely.

"Is this Alcatraz Island?"

After getting off the airship, Jonouchi looked around at the surrounding scenery with anticipation for the final battle place.

It can be said that there is no scenery on Alcatraz Island except for the most eye-catching tower. There are only ruins everywhere.

"Although I had this feeling when I saw this place from a distance, but when I got closer, it really looked more like it. This place really is..."

"Like a garbage dump, right?" Hayato added the word he couldn't describe for Jonouchi, earning a blank look from Kaiba beside him.

Ignoring the surrounding ruins, Kaiba raised his head and looked at the silver-white tower reaching into the sky, and said to himself: "Kaiba Gosaburo, show me in hell, and watch me conquer this building built on you. The Duel Tower on top of the remains, I, who is called the Duel King, will completely crush my soul!”

"This is the place where the number one duelist in the world of duels - the duel king - belongs to the final duel!"

"Enter this duel tower, fellow duelists!" After delivering his speech, Kaiba didn't wait for others to react, and walked towards the silver-white tower - "Duel Tower", "I, Kaiba, With special permission from people, you can step into this area that I am proud of!”

Outside the Duel Tower, there are ruins like a garbage dump, but the scenery inside the Duel Tower is completely different from the outside world. Looking around, the silver-white background is dotted with various technological mechanical devices.

Of course, Kaiba’s favorite [Blue Eyes White Dragon] decoration is not missing either.

"It's amazing. Such a powerful tower was built in such a place. The Haima Group is really rich." Just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Jonouchi looked at the scenery inside the tower with curiosity.

The silver-white tower among the ruins looked like Kaiba showing off his power on the corpse of Kaiba Gosaburo.

Guiping was quite proud: "Hey, the most powerful thing about this tower is not only the equipment inside, but the materials used in the construction are the most critical. Recycle the discarded materials that are generally unusable, and then use the invincible technology of the Haima Group. This That’s why we have this tower.”

"That's awesome." Jonouchi said excitedly, "Are we going to decide the Duel King in this tower next? It's really exciting to think that even I have the opportunity to compete for the number one spot in the world."

"Hmph, you didn't get enough sleep last night, are you starting to dream now?" Kaiba rolled his eyes at Jonouchi and sneered, "Recognize the reality that I was just lucky enough to get into the top four, you mediocre person."

"No matter who you face next, your final pace will stop at the top four, because without God you cannot defeat Hayato or anyone else in the game, and if I want to deal with you, it will be even more... There is no need for [Obelisk] to use it.”

"Kaiba, you bastard!" Being looked down upon by Kaiba, the city was furious. If Honda and Yuga hadn't stopped him, there would have been a physical fight between the contestants and the organizer before the competition started.

However, Honda's face was quite calm, even a little accustomed to it.

I don't know what's wrong. Jonouchi and Kaiba never get along well, and they both dislike each other. Even if there was no quarrel at the first moment, Kaiba could anger Jonouchi without even three words, it was almost like a daily mission.

After more times, Honda became proficient in how to hold Jonouchi back, and if one day Jonouchi and Kaiba get along peacefully, he might still feel uncomfortable with it.

The duel tower is generally hollow, with four elevators set up around the tower. Hayato, Jonouchi, and Yugi, who had already experienced it once on the St. Ann, recognized the functions of these four devices at a glance. There was no need for Kaiba to introduce them. They looked at each other and walked to an elevator. The order was the same as on the airship.

Kaiba also stepped onto his elevator and looked at the accompanying professional referee, Isono.

"Although I have explained it once before, the group stage was interrupted and restarted due to an accident. I still need to read out the rules of the duel before the duel begins."

After confirming that the audience had arrived at the viewing area and that the four players had prepared their respective decks and duel plates, Isono from the referee's seat said to the radio: "The basic points of the four contestants will be based on their distance from the top of the tower. Depending on the distance, the first two contestants to reach the top of the tower will be assigned to a group for a semi-final duel."

"Then without further ado, let's proceed from the Muto Yugi players to their respective rounds one by one in clockwise order."

"I announce that the group matches for the top four players in Duel City will begin now!"

"Duel!"

【Game: 4000LP】

[Haima: 4000LP]

[Within the city: 4000LP]

[Hayato: 4000LP]

"My turn, draw a card!" Switching to Wang Xianglai's duel, Yugi looked at the drawn card and smiled, "I have experienced a lot since the last time."

"Even the card I drew is no longer the same as the last time." Said, Yugi activated the card in his hand directly, "Magic card [Fusion]! I will use the three knights in my hand as fusion material!"

"Come out, [Celestial Knight]!"

As the whirlpool of [Fusion] appeared, an elegant and noble knight appeared on the field of the game. The three-body monsters of [Queen Knight], [Guard Knight] and [King Knight] appeared as materials, and it was the game that came. [Celestial Knight] has the highest attack power in the entire deck!

【Knight of Heaven】【9☆/Light】

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

【3800/2500】

As a powerful monster that was summoned after consuming four cards in the game, the most powerful thing about [Celestial Knight] is not only its attack power, but also that once per turn, it can discard a corresponding hand card, To negate the effects of magic, traps, and monsters targeting it, it is an extremely rare all-around health among duel monsters.

Logically speaking, if you want to maximize the effect of [Celestial Knight], you need to keep three types of cards in your hand as much as possible, but Yugi just thought about it briefly and did not hesitate to use the remaining two cards in his hand. All the cards were covered, and not a single card was retained in the hand.

"Covering two cards, my turn is over." Insert the two cards in his hand into the magic and trap card area, Yugi showed a confident smile and looked at Kaiba who took over, "It's your turn, Kaiba. "

[Game: 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]

"Hmph, my turn is to draw cards."

Kaiba had a serious face, but when he saw the card he pulled out, he was slightly startled, and then laughed: "Humph, hehe, humhahahahaha!"

"Although it's only the group stage, I didn't expect that my cards actually want to win more than me. It's decided, in this round, I'll show you the power of [Obelisk]!"

"Activate the magic card [Fusion]!"

Exactly the same as the game process, Kaiba immediately activated a [Fusion] magic card after drawing the card. Just as others had guessed, he sent three cards into the graveyard, so the monsters that appeared could only be——

"Lay the foundation for me to ascend to the throne of Duel King, my strongest monster, [Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!" As Kaiba shouted, the virtual projection device in the Duel Tower showed a picture in front of him. There were only three giant dragons taking off, but the [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] who had just appeared also looked at Kaiba strangely after seeing the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] decorations everywhere in the duel tower.

【Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon】【12☆/Light】

【Dragon/Fusion】

【4500/3800】

Kaiba did not notice that even his own [Blue Eyes] did not agree with his aesthetics, but activated the second card from his hand: "Then, there is the quick attack magic card [Fusion Release], which will remove the [Blue Eyes] on my field. The fusion state of [Ultimate Dragon] is released, return to my field, three-body [Blue Eyes]!"

"Finally, I will release the three resurrected [Blue Eyes White Dragon] as sacrifices!"

As Kaiba spoke, he raised the last card in his hand high, and the wild aura from ancient times swept through the entire place like a storm.

As the three [Blue Eyes] that had just appeared on the field turned into particles and dissipated, a tall and sturdy monster stood in front of Kaiba like an obelisk in the desert.

"If it comes to this world, scorching hot winds will sweep across the earth, and all living things will turn into corpses!"

"First generation! [Obelisk's Titan Weapon]!"

The blue giant who defeated Tapirang in the quarterfinals appears again!

【Obelisk's Titan Weapon】【10☆/God】

[Phantom Beast Tribe/Effect]

【4000/4000】

After summoning [Obelisk], Kaiba was quite proud and listened carefully to the exclamations he expected from others, such as "What a powerful monster" and "He actually summoned a god in the first round" and so on. of.

But what he heard was Hayato's complaint: "I drew three cards [Blue Eyes], [Fusion] and [Fusion Cancellation] at the beginning. Kaiba, you must have used glue to stick the cards together, right?" "

"And the attack power is obviously higher than that of [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], so the meaning is unclear." Jonouchi, who had only seen [Obelisk's Giant Divine Weapon] attack against Tapiryo's trap, didn't know the power of the god. All the power of Ka also followed Hayato and complained.

This made Kaiba, who didn't hear the expected praise, quite unhappy: "Huh, although the attack power of [Obelisk's Titan Soldier] is lower than [Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon], but you think you can do it just by yourself" Can you defeat [Obelisk]? Mortal Bones?"

"My turn is over!"

[Haima: 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]

[Obelisk's Titan Soldier][ATK4000]

"Stop looking down on others, Kaiba! I want you to see how powerful I am!" Jonouchi's tone was full of resentment, "My turn, draw a card!"

After looking at the drawn card, Jonouchi was overjoyed, but also looked at the other three people on the field a little strangely. He first glanced at the [Knight of Heaven] on the game field and the [Blue Eyes Ultimate] on the Kaiba field. [Dragon] was exchanged for [Obelisk’s Giant Divine Weapon], glanced at Hayato and asked:

"That Hayato, let me make sure first, don't you have [Fusion] in your hand?"

Hayato lowered his head and looked at his hand. There was no [Fusion] card: "No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that all this is too coincidental." Jonouchi sighed and resolutely activated the card in his hand, "Using the [True Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Devil's Summon] in my hand as the materials for fusion, activate [Fusion] 】Magic card!”

Hayato just finished saying that Kaiba didn't shuffle the cards, and Jonouchi was in his own turn, but he used the same Combo as he did in the last group match.

In the whirlpool of [Fusion], the Demonic Dragon appeared, breathing hot flames. Even when faced with [Celestial Knight] and [Obelisk's Titan Soldier], which had higher attack power than it, it was unable to do anything. Don't flinch and provoke the other person with your eyes.

【3200/2500】

"Then there is the equipment magic card [Dark Dragon Claw]. This card can only be equipped to dark dragon monsters, which increases the equipped monster's attack power by 600 points." Jonouchi showed a card and put it into the duel. In the magic and trap card area of ​​the disk, "I equip it to [Devil Dragon - Dark Demon Dragon]. After that, it covers one card and my turn ends."

[Within the city: 4000LP, 1 card in hand]

Now, it's Hayato's turn.
