Chapter 205 Leading the Way
Alpha fell to his knees, his head tilted to one side, electricity crackling and pulsating all over his body, with broken parts splattered all over the floor.
"Damn it."
"What do you say?"
You Xuan put away the duel disk and walked up to him.
Alpha raised his head slowly and with difficulty. During this movement, a string of sparks exploded from his neck, and it looked like his head would fall off at any time.
"I'm sorry, Father. I tried my best, but he was too strong," he said to himself.
You Xuan thought that the quality of this thing was indeed good. Maybe the mechanical body had a strong ability to resist impact, and it didn't stop even after being burned like this.
"You win this time. But don't think it's over."
Alpha spoke intermittently.
"You're already on our list. I seem to be a defective product after all, but Delta is the only perfect one among us.
He will find you and complete my unfinished mission. Even you are no match for him."
You Xuan frowned.
This line of "Don't be too proud, I'm just the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings" seems to have been heard in many other places.
Delta, it also sounds like the name of an AI.
Maybe a more capable AI?
"So who is the 'father' you are talking about, your instigator?"
But Alpha did not respond, and only said to himself: "Father, I'm sorry. I can't continue to accompany you to complete your career. I have to go first."
His voice got smaller and smaller until his shattered eyes were completely extinguished.
"He's hung up." You Xuan stood up.
A voice behind me said, "There's no need to ask any more questions."
You Xuan turned around, a little surprised: "President Kaiba?"
Kaiba Seto had been standing there without him noticing, and Keipi, dressed in a neat suit, was following beside him.
Judging from the situation, it may have been there for quite a while.
You Xuan was in deep thought.
So the president quietly peeped at him playing cards from behind, just like he did last time at Pegasus Night Walk.
He suddenly realized that the president seemed to like peeking at him playing cards.
"You Xuan is amazing. He created infinite attack power, infinite card explosion, and infinite health reduction in one duel, and he evolved so many different offensive tactics based on the loop."
Keipi's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Ahaha, it's okay." You Xuan said modestly.
After all, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of our predecessors, so it must be powerful.
"Humph."
Kaiba didn't say anything, but his thoughtful brother helped translate for him: "Oh, brother means that he also thinks you are very good, and he is looking forward to fighting you in the arena more and more."
You Xuan nodded: "I understand."
After a pause, he said, "These guys claim to be AI designed based on the president. I think they may be related to the hackers who broke in before."
"We heard it." Keipi said, "In fact, we have made some progress in tracking recently. We rushed here immediately after we found someone invading Duel Academy. We guessed that it might be those hackers again."
"The primary target is probably the three cards on this island." Kaiba said casually.
Yugen cast a questioning look at Keiping, "What about those three cards?"
"Oh, students probably don't know. But if it's your turn, it's okay to tell you." Keipi said, "Three 'Phantom' cards. Cards that hide extremely powerful powers in today's Duel Monster world, and are said to grant the holder eternal life. Although very powerful, they are also judged to have evil powers and may be dangerous. They are currently in a sealed facility on the island."
"I see."
Of course You Xuan knew this a long time ago, but he still acted like he was hearing this secret for the first time.
"But why are they looking for me? I think I have nothing to do with the Phantom Demon."
"I don't know about that." Keiping scratched his head. "I think. Maybe he saw your dueling skills, or your talent for being friendly with elves. Well, you are indeed a very special duelist I have ever seen, so it's not surprising that you attracted attention."
At this moment, Principal Samejima also arrived. He shook hands with President Kaiba, the school's top sponsor, and repeatedly apologized for the school's inadequate security, and said that he would definitely do better in the future.
You Xuanxin said, "Forget it, Principal. Although the security of our college is a piece of paper, it is still there. Since the second year, there has been basically no such concept. The college island has basically become a bus that can be entered and exited by all kinds of relevant and irrelevant people at will."
Since the third grade, the Academic Affairs Department has disappeared. The entire school has flown to another dimension. The students are the ones who are on the front line to resist the pressure. The principal is on business trips and basically disappeared. Professor Mamma Mia has taken on the functions of all the teachers in the school.
Then Judai and Asuka also reported encountering enemies and having duels, but they both won without any danger in the end.
The AI that was defeated by the tenth generation was unlucky, and fell off the cliff and died on the spot. However, the one that was defeated by Asuka was still alive.
It is said that the AI named Gamma was still mumbling incoherently when he was carried away, saying things like "This is not a duel at all", "This is not an angel at all", "Give me back my monster" and so on.
I estimate that the system was most likely crashed by the electronic bull angel Nasati.
The employees of the Kaiba Group who followed the president to the island quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the wreckage of the three machines, and carried out simple mopping-up work.
"We are very close. If we go back and analyze these three AIs, we should be able to find clues about the mastermind soon." Guiping said to Youxuan, "If I find anything, I will tell you as soon as possible."
After all, the other party clearly stated that You Xuan was also on the target list, so now he is no longer an outsider.
"Okay." You Xuan nodded readily.
He unconsciously touched the latest card deck from Kaiba Company that was not yet released and was still warm in his pocket.
You said these AIs came when they wanted, and they came from afar to bring gifts. And this time they didn't use data cards, they were all real cards that could be plugged in and out at will.
That's too polite.
He wouldn't mind if good things like this happened more often.
Finally, Keipi stole a glance in Kaiba's direction, and seemed to confirm that his brother was directing the work among the staff team and was not paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and whispered.
"Although my brother would definitely not let me say this, I still want to say thank you."
"what?"
"For what you said." Keipi chuckled, "I heard everything. To be honest, I was really touched. In fact, although many people now respect my brother and regard him as the pinnacle of duelists, not many people really understand him.
Many people think he is just arrogant and rude, and some say he is a dictator in some sense. But I know that he never forgets why he is fighting. "
"It is because of the experience of hell that I understand the value of dreams." You Xuan smiled gently, "Unfortunately, even if he told the truth to the board of directors, no one would believe that the dream of a 'dictator' is to bring smiles to children all over the world."
"Haha, let alone the board of directors, no one in Kaiba Corporation really knows him except me. I think the last person who really understood him should be Yugi."
Keiping shook his head, feeling a little sorry.
In fact, deep down he envied and yearned for the unbreakable friendship between Yugi and Jonouchi, and he had also fantasized about joining that group with his brother.
But maybe they are not the same kind of people after all, and they haven't been in touch for many years.
"I'm really happy to know that there are people in the world who see my brother the same way I do." Keipi said again, "Thank you."
"Nothing. I think there are still many people who think so. I am just an insignificant ordinary duelist."
You Xuan waved his hand generously.
"No thanks or anything."
"By the way, we have to go back to the company next. The headquarters has a few newly developed decks. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"lead the way."
