I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

Therefore, Kaito also forced himself to pursue the existence of No. Card almost all day long, except for eating, drinking and sleeping, which were necessary for maintaining life.

"Well, that is..." Kaito took out a telescope from his pocket and looked in one direction. Speak of the devil! The Go Go Knight, who looked like a cheap cosplay wearing a motorcycle helmet, was dueling with the holder of the No. Card.

"Track 7, glider!"

"Yes, Lord Kaito!"

...

"Wow! This is the end! No. 39 Hope King Hope, whose attack power doubled and then doubled again, flashes against N times!" The excited voice of Go Go Knight, or Jiujiu Yuma, came from under the motorcycle helmet, declaring victory!

On the field of both sides, Hope King Hope, whose attack power became 10,000, slashed a brilliant blow, splitting the oil-like black and sticky humanoid monster, and clearing the opponent's LP.

[Winner: Try your best, Knight]

"Yoshi! I have recovered another No. card!" Yuma jumped up excitedly. The Astral Body behind him just stretched out his right hand calmly and recovered the No. 96 Black Mist.

"How is it, Astral Body. Do you remember anything? For example, family, hometown, purpose, etc."

"...No, nothing. This No. card doesn't seem to carry my memories...Strange..." Staring at his right hand, the Astral Body looked a little confused. In his cognition, the No. card should be a fragment of his memory. This situation where the card was recovered but did not bring any memories...is the first time.

"Keep going, knight!" At this time, Kaito, now the superhero Ginga, also descended from the sky on a glider transformed from Orbit 7, "Are you okay? Did you recover the No. card?"

"Oh, Kaito!" Yuma waved his hand carelessly, as a greeting, "It's okay, it's okay, the other party is just an ordinary citizen who was possessed, not a vicious super criminal. The No. card was also recovered by the astral body!"

"... In private occasions, call me Ginga." Kaito frowned, confirmed that Yuma was not injured, and turned around to check the condition of the citizen knocked down by Yuma, "I'm not worried about you. After all, although you are a fool, I know very well that you have a strong body."

"Oh, I have a good body... No, who are you calling a fool!?" Yuma was so angry that he jumped up and down.

In the world line after Hoshimi Hitomi intervened, the two of them also had a relationship that they didn't know each other until they fought. Kaito started the time stop at the beginning, preparing to hunt Yuma's No. card. But at the end of the duel, both sides recognized each other's strength. And Kaito also found that Yuma was not controlled by the No. Cards or ran away.

This is a proven fact. A strong duelist can overcome the influence of the No. Cards by his will. For example, Black Manta and Scavenger belong to this situation. Could it be that Yuma, Nine-Nine, has a will that is not inferior to the two of them! ?

After learning that Yuma also wanted to collect No. Cards, Kaito encouraged Yuma to become a superhero. Yuma hesitated at first, but after going through this and that, he finally made his own choice and became a superhero: Go Go Knight. He wanted to form a two-person team with Kaito to help each other, but Kaito declined on the grounds that he was used to acting alone.

So, Yuma became a lone ranger hero: Go Go Knight without telling his family, and ran around to collect No. Cards. In addition to the Astral Body, only his childhood sweetheart, Kanzuki Kotori, knew about this.

Just as Yuma and Kaito were chatting, a rough voice interrupted the conversation between their friends: "Oh, has the black fog been recovered? As expected, there are also differences in the quality of No. cards, and trash is trash."

"So, the two little devils playing the hero game over there - the one-way train to the underworld is about to depart!"

...

Chapter 161 34 War Beyond Dimensions: Part 1

"So, the two little devils playing the hero game over there - the one-way train to the underworld is about to depart!"

Falling from the sky was the backbone of the Nightmare Knights, the SS-level criminal, the runaway sea train: Bane. That 2.3-meter-tall body, arms that were almost as thick as an ordinary person's waist, explosive muscles all over the body, and most importantly: the extremely bloodthirsty and brutal eyes that exuded infinite cruelty, put Kaito and Yuma on alert in an instant.

Kaito suddenly held the duel disk in front of him, ready to go: "Smelly rats of the Nightmare Knights! I thought you were suffocated to death in some sewer. Since you are still alive, why don't you shrink your neck and live in shame? Why do you come here to die?"

"Bain...Bain!" Compared with Kaito's provocation, Yuma looked quite unbearable. His face under the motorcycle helmet was full of fear, staring at Bain, who was like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, and his legs were trembling. After all, not long ago, he was just an ordinary 14-year-old junior high school student.

"Humph. This is more reasonable when it comes from Black Manta. As for you, the little brat who was killed by Nidhogg without injury..." Bain grinned and scratched his thick neck with his thumb, "Are you not qualified enough?"

"Or do you think I am inferior? Look down on me, an SS-level super criminal?" Bain said this, but there was no smile in his eyes. The atmosphere in the air became more and more solemn, full of a sense of danger.

Nidhogg's order was to retrieve the special No. 96, Black Mist. This card seemed to be quite special among all the No. cards, and Nidhogg should have come to retrieve it himself. But due to some unexpected circumstances, Nidhogg was tripped up by other trivial matters, and the clownfish was very crazy, so this task had to be handed over to Bane.

However, the Knight and Galaxy... these two little ghosts who played the hero game were specially instructed by Nidhogg not to interfere too much. They seemed to be quite key chess pieces in Nidhogg's plan, and their importance was even higher than that of Bane and others. So... just teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, Bane showed a ferocious smile. The duel disk on his arm, which looked a bit like a train, unfolded automatically, and the D-viewing mirror also shifted his sight from reality to AR space.

"Then, I need to teach you... what is absolute power!" With a fanatical look on his face, Bain placed his hand on the top of the deck, "Tuition will be paid with your blood!"

"Okay, I will pay the tuition. In return, let me send you to a good place where you don't have to worry about retirement and food and accommodation. Lifelong imprisonment in a mental hospital." Kaito lowered his waist slightly, like a samurai ready to draw his sword.

"Hey... Astral body, can you do it? The opponent is that... super criminal."

"..."

"... Astral body? What's wrong?"

"Uh ah ah ah ah ah ah——!!!" The dark liquid gushed out of Astral's seven orifices, eroding his azure blue translucent spirit at a very fast speed. By the time Yuma reacted, Astral's body had been eroded into black, and his eyes had become... unfamiliar.

"Ah~ Ki~ Mo~ Ji~ I finally got control. Then Yuma-kun, on behalf of the Astral Body, we-"

"Please give me more advice, huh~"

"What a joke! Give the Astral Body back to me!!!" He still didn't know what happened, but the being in front of him was definitely not his friend, the Astral Body. Even Yuma could figure it out. He punched the dark Astral Body hard, but as expected, he only punched the air.

"Ah, I'm sad that you did this. But let's put our affairs aside for now and solve them later. Now, we have a common enemy, right?" As he said this, the dark Astral Body pointed at Bain who was still confronting Kaito, and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes. Thanks to these bastards, I have suffered a lot.

This humiliation of being toyed with by inferior creatures must be returned a hundredfold! First kill all the Nightmare Knights, then devour the soul of Yuma Ninety-nine, and finally kill all the humans in this world! Don't leave any alive!

Pinching his chin, a dark purple number "96" flashed in the depths of the pupils of the dark starlight body, and then was drowned by the surging madness and malice.

"Gu, who would do that kind of thing——" Yuma ignored it and continued to punch the air. Boys of his age are always like this, full of energy, but also lack rationality at critical moments, unable to distinguish the primary from the secondary.

"Ah~ I don't care. But over there, Ginga-san is about to be killed by Bain. So pitiful~" The dark starlight body sighed and said pretentiously, "But anyway, he is not Yuma-kun's friend, it doesn't matter, right? Then please do as you please~"

"Gu——" Yuma's fist stopped in mid-air. Indeed, indeed... It's too dangerous for Kaito to deal with Bain alone!

"Kaito!"

"If it's not a private occasion, call me Ginga... Don't dawdle, get ready!" Because of the huge pressure from Bain, Kaito's eyes were always fixed on Bain on the opposite side, and he had no time to care about the situation on Yuma's side. Moreover, Kaito couldn't see the existence of the Astral Body at the moment, so he didn't know that a great change had happened to Yuma.

"... Hey! After defeating Bain, I must make you return the Astral Body!" Yuma gritted his teeth and glared at the dark Astral Body fiercely, unfolding the duel disk, "Bain! I must——beat you!"

"Okay, okay, beat that stupid big guy over there first~" I'll give you my head back! The dark Astral Body snickered.

"Ha, have you thought of the epitaph? Then——train!!! Train!!! Start!!! Train!!!" Bain roared wildly, and his momentum swelled again.

"Battle mode, photon transformation! I will hunt your No. and that dirty soul!"

"DUEL!!!" ×3

[Yuma LP: 8000, ROLL points: 4]

[Kaito LP: 8000, ROLL points: 3]

[Bain LP: 16000, ROLL points: 6]

A standard 2VS1 match. Therefore, the order of turns is Bain → Yuma → Bain → Kaito → Bain, in turn.

…

In a building somewhere. Various instruments flashed red and green in the dark, and it was obviously a villain base.

At this moment, in the center of the empty room, two figures, one black and one white, were standing opposite each other and confronting each other.

One of them was Xinyuan City No, the Internet King of the ZXEAL world, the uncrowned shadow emperor, the world-eating black dragon: Nidhogg. What made him extremely alert, even terrified, was a young man wearing a white windbreaker and holding a blue sword-shaped virtual projection duel disk.

This young man has no reputation at all in ZXEAL. It would be better to say that he is a gangster with no household registration at all. But he is well-known to the whole world in the basic universe, and his popularity even exceeds that of some deceased great men.

His name is Seto Kaiba! He is the one who came across dimensions in pursuit of his old enemy - the Transcendent!

"It really... shocked me." Using her own voice, Hoshimi Hitomi was really frightened and speechless by the biggest fool in history opposite her, "You actually... chased me!? Chase To another dimension?”

Before, he controlled Nidhogg through his consciousness and gave instructions to the Nightmare Knights. A strangely lustrous azure portal suddenly appeared, blowing away everything around it.

Hoshimi Hitomi thought it was an attack from the astral world or something, and was about to summon the spirit. Then a figure walked out of the portal, and it was Seto Kaiba, a man with sharp eyes and a dusty face.

Time has not left the slightest trace on his young face. Kaiba's familiar KC Club duel plate was replaced by a sword-shaped duel plate from the dark side of the dimension. The familiar pure white coat and black lining were covered with azure lines. His body seemed to be slowly turning into ashes, indicating that he would not be able to stay in this world for long.

Fortunately, he seemed to be targeting Hoshimi Hitomi's consciousness and teleported to Nidhogg's secret base. Otherwise, if he is directly teleported to the manta nest where Hoshimi Hitomi's body is and is caught by Ling Ya and Li Xu, he will be in trouble.

It's easy to just make up a reason to excuse it, but it's a taboo to inexplicably add the setting "Hoshimi Hitomi actually comes from another world" when the plan is almost halfway through. This suspense is left to be revealed until the very end.

"You are really the biggest idiot in history~" I could only sigh like this. Even someone like Hitomi Hoshimi, who has a crazy spirit in his bones and dares to use a dump truck to transport Zoke to another world, can't think of such a big idea. In order to catch him, Kaiba came across dimensions or something——

"Hmph." This surprise was only met with a cold snort from Kaiba. He knows this kind of thing best. In order to travel across dimensions, how many difficulties he has overcome and how many miracles he has created are countless.

He is now standing here, face to face with Hoshimi Tong. This thing itself is a huge miracle made up of countless small miracles.

"No matter which dimension, there is nothing that Seto Kaiba cannot do." He slowly opened his arms across his chest, looking at the old enemy he recalled day and night in front of him, Kaiba narrowed his eyes slightly to suppress the feeling. The leaping flame, "If you need a miracle, create a miracle. If you need the help of the gods, coerce the gods."

"Now, I'm standing here. I'm not here to listen to your boring sighs, or to lightly say 'Thank you for your hard work'..." The duel disk in my hand bloomed with dazzling blue light. Kaiba raised his head, no longer suppressing the flames of war that were so high that it transcended dimensions, and his blue pupils bloomed with a divine light that was so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at him.

"I stand here. As a duelist, I stand here. My natural enemy who has been entangled in my destiny, you have the responsibility and obligation... to respond to the roar of my soul!!!" At the end of the sentence, Kaiba almost said it with He roared with all his strength. Behind him, the azure energy formed the shadows of three white dragons, which seemed to echo his words and let out high-pitched dragon roars.

This is not the fate destined to be entangled with the Dark Pharaoh, but the path chosen by Seto Kaiba himself! If the victory or defeat with Yugi is to make a break with the past, the victory or defeat with Hitomi Hoshimi is to move towards a future that only belongs to oneself!

"Come on, Hoshimi!!!" Kaiba roared. He was pouring out his suppressed fighting spirit.

Some people say that having the other person in your heart all the time represents love. This is fart. Because Kaiba has absolutely no tenderness or consideration for Hitomi Hoshimi, who is always on his mind. All he wants to think about is - duel, and then, victory!

Hoshimi Hitomi stared into Kaiba's eyes. The emotion contained in those eyes... is the same as before, has not changed at all... No. Since Duel City, Kaiba Paradise, Florida Showdown, PC Cup Finals. The flames of war in his eyes were getting stronger and stronger, like turning defeat into firewood. Now, after waiting for nearly 5 years, it is even more... to burn him to death!

...cannot refuse. I don’t want to refuse either. Hitomi Hoshimi controlled Nidhogg's mechanical body, and with pure calmness, faced the flames of war that seemed to devour the world from Kaiba.

If you don’t even have the consciousness to carry the war you started on your back, let alone carry the world on your back?

In the 500-meter-deep underground, the pure power of darkness confronts the white dragon of war that burns the world.

At this moment, it’s a showdown—win or lose! ! !

"DUEL!!!"×2

[Hoshimi Hitomi LP: 8000, ROLL points: 2]

[Haima LP: 8000, ROLL points: 6]

"I'll attack first!!!" As if using all his strength, Kaiba fiercely pulled out 5 cards from the top of the deck. The too sharp edge brought up the howling wind and cut off the marble pillar not far away. The gap was smooth and flat - it was the energy captured when traveling through dimensions! In terms of hand-to-hand combat alone, Kaiba in his current state is probably not inferior to the Seven Balian Emperors who revealed their true form!

"... Tsk, luckily it's not the real body." Hoshimi Hitomi couldn't help but be amazed: This is too powerful8? His real body, although protected by the card elves, is still too fragile. Playing cards with the strong still requires some roundabout means.

"Then first, activate the magic card: Dragon Awakening Melody. Send the [Ancient White Stone] in the hand to the graveyard, and add 1 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] and 1 [Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon] from the deck to the hand." Kaiba looked at the initial 5 hand cards, took out one of them without hesitation, and stuffed it into the magic trap area of ​​the duel disk, making a 2-for-2 exchange.

"You haven't faced this guy yet, Hoshimi. This is the power I gained as early as the first PC Cup, but I didn't let you see it because of the desperate Blue Eyes. Now you can taste it carefully! Show the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in your hand, and special summon this guy - Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon!!!"

"No need, I've tasted enough... By the way, the first one? Did the second and third ones take place when I was away?" Hoshimi muttered to herself.

...

Chapter 162 35 War Beyond Dimensions: Part 2

"It's my first attack! The train is coming in!" Bane pulled out 5 cards from the top of the deck, and while looking at his initial hand, he was also looking at the two little ghosts who were his opponents with the corner of his eyes.

The one wearing a mask and a white windbreaker was Ginga, who was beaten up by Nidhogg. Although he is not as good as Nidhogg, he is also a strong guy and needs attention. And the guy wearing a motorcycle helmet and looking unprofessional is the new hero: Go Go Knight...
