Chapter 265 Dead Souls
"elder brother!"
Kaiba Seto walked out of the building and saw Keipi waiting outside.
"Is it over? Is everything going well?" Keiping asked anxiously.
"Humph." Kaiba raised his head and crossed his arms, "That's natural."
"Great."
Keipi let out a long sigh.
"In this way, our feud with that guy is finally settled."
"Yeah." Kaiba nodded.
As he said this, he turned around and took a last look at the company building behind him with a huge sign that read "Abiak". It happened to be the reverse spelling of the English spelling of "Seahorse", like a reflected existence, just like an attack launched by the shadow of his past.
But nothing can stop him. Not the future, and certainly not the past.
It's all over now.
"Hey, I told you Yugen would be helpful," Keipi said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's at least useful." Kaiba snorted.
"But I want to stay here for two more days before I go back." Keiping said, "It's a rare trip, so I should at least bring back some local specialties."
Kaiba smiled and said, "Whatever you want."
"."
The matter was concluded, and within this month, the company called "Abiak" was wiped out from the world by the power of the Seahorse Group, along with all traces of the person behind the scene.
All the AIs that had been secretly created were also destroyed without exception. Kaiba Seto personally ensured that every last trace of their existence was wiped out, leaving nothing behind.
A month later, the New Doma Organization was destroyed. Kaiba led his men to destroy the Doma headquarters and sealed Orichalcum's Snake again.
He did what Atum did but he failed to do.
The Duel City Tournament was successfully held. After not participating in public competitions for many years, Kaiba Seto finally made a comeback and won the championship in the new Duel City. He also won the title of "Duel King" which had been vacant for many years and became the new generation of Duel King.
The following year, the Haiba Group achieved a huge breakthrough in scientific research. The development of cutting-edge technology proved that the future of aerospace also lies in the power of Duel Monsters cards.
With the power of the card, the Haiba Group led the world into the era of the starry sky. Space stations, new spacecraft vehicles, and even a new duel city was built on Mars.
Seto Kaiba, who accomplished all these great feats, is rightfully hailed as the greatest man in human history. His contributions are so outstanding that they even surpass those of all the great men of the past, and he is recognized as a living legend by the world.
The influence of the Haima Group is also growing. At this point, no country, group or even all of humanity can leave Haima Technology. While pushing the times into a new era, they have also become the water and electricity for all of humanity. No, it should even be said that they have become the air they breathe.
Without the Kaiba Group, any organization or group would be paralyzed in an instant. Kaiba Seto has almost become the top of the world.
However, even after achieving all this, Kaiba sat in the empty space station, looking out the porthole at everything he had accomplished.
This is not right.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards the endless starry sky.
Everything here, everything he has and the pinnacle he has reached, none of it is real.
"I don't know what kind of silly trick this is, but it ends here!"
Kaiba shouted in a deep voice.
Suddenly, it was as if a white light burst out with him as the center. Even the darkness of the starry sky seemed to be dispelled. The space station he was in, the interstellar city built by the Kaiba Empire, the entire world was shattered like a mirage. After the world spun around, Kaiba Seto also came to the same dark and narrow passage that Yugen was facing, located in a chaos, leading to the unknown darkness.
Kaiba frowned and also took a step forward.
Distorted images also emerged in the mirror-like darkness on both sides.
When he was little, he sat at a big desk with a mountain of books and a sea of questions in front of him, while his adoptive father, Kaiba Gosaburo, stood beside him with his arms folded.
"Remember, Seto, a person's future is not given by others, but is created by one's own hands." Gosaburo said sternly, "You won this opportunity with your own hands, but whether you can reach the end still depends on you."
Kaiba walked past the flashing picture indifferently without looking around.
Soon a new picture emerged from the side.
"From today on, you will begin to be involved in the corporate affairs of the Haima Group."
Kaiba Gosaburo leaned back in his chair, his back facing the blazing sun. He squinted his eyes at the boy in front of him, Kaiba Seto, who had grown into a young man.
"Prove that you are a child of the Kaiba family and don't let me down."
"Yes, father." The young Kaiba said heavily, "I will definitely not let you down."
"."
Kaiba continued to walk past the picture, still not even glancing at it. The picture quickly twisted and passed by him, and soon disappeared.
As expected, many clips appeared one after another. All of them showed Seto Kaiba, Kaiba at different time periods and ages, and his adoptive father Gosaburo.
But he never even glanced at it.
And what appeared at the end was the last time the nominal father and son saw each other.
For the first time, the young Kaiba Seto showed him the fangs of a young lion, sneering like a victor. All the senior executives of the board of directors stood behind the young man, and before he knew it, only Gosaburo was left at the other end of the table.
It turned out that he had greatly underestimated this young man.
He thought he was being used, and that Kaiba was always just a chess piece in his eyes. However, he never expected that he was facing an equally dangerous player.
He never dreamed that Haiba, who was only sixteen years old, could win over all the senior executives of the company right under his nose, undermine his power, and finally take away his company from him.
After that, Gosaburo died soon after.
There is no doubt that until his death, Gosaburo harbored a deep hatred for his former adopted son, as well as resentment at himself for being so slow to notice anything unusual.
Until the end, he was still convinced that he was forced to death by Seto Kaiba, and that Kaiba was almost the murderer who directly killed him.
Only in this last scene did Kaiba stop, then folded his arms and sneered.
Just like the teenage seahorse in the picture, it is the victor’s mocking sneer to the loser.
"Why, you showed me these to ask what I think?" Kaiba said coldly, "Well, I'll tell you the truth. I only saw a stray dog barking helplessly after losing everything."
He turned around and shouted sternly.
"Stop these stupid tricks and come out and face me! Gozaburo!"
