Chapter 106

"It's not over yet. I'll activate another [Seed of the Beginning] from my hand."

This card can only be activated if [Chaos Warrior - Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning- ] or [Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End-] is on the field. Add 2 of your banished cards to your Yugi.

The Yugi immediately retrieved the two cards that had just been banished back into its hand. "The two cards I need to reclaim are [Seed of the Beginning] and [Golden Sarcophagus]. Meanwhile, the [Seed of the Beginning] that was just activated is banished due to the effect of [Shining Angel]."

King & President: This is!!

After seeing the Yugi retrieve another [Seed of the Beginning], I immediately understood the tactic the Yugi was currently using.

Meanwhile, the flirtatious "woman" who was still spying on the screen, lacking the skill, hadn't yet realized what was wrong with the Yugi's actions.

Yugi played another card from his hand, "I activate the Spell Card [Golden Sarcophagus] once more, banishing one card from my deck."

"This time, the exception is..."

The Yugi proceeded at a leisurely pace, selecting a card from the deck.

Chapter 147 Those Classic Infinite Loop

"Based on the effect of [Golden Sarcophagus], banish [Exodia the Forbidden One] from the Deck, and [Golden Sarcophagus] is banished again due to the effect of [Shining Angel]."

After placing two cards in the banished area, the Yugi continues to play [Seed of the Beginning]. "Continue, I will activate the effect of [Seed of the Beginning] again to reclaim the banished [Seed of the Beginning] and [Golden Sarcophagus]."

"And activate the effect of [Golden Sarcophagus] again, banishing [The Right Arm of the Forbidden One] from the Deck."

That's it.

Even if the person behind the computer was stupid, they could see through the Yugi's controls, and their face turned ashen.

This is clearly an infinite loop combination, which, combined with the effect of [Shining Angel], continuously uses the effect of [Seed of the Beginning] an unlimited number of times to recycle banished cards.

This is one of the earliest and most classic infinite combinations, and using the Golden Sarcophagus to retrieve the five pieces of corpse is one of the derivative tactics of this combination.

Therefore, after [Seed of the Beginning] was limited to one, meaning only one card could be played, this overpowered combination could no longer be used.

Meanwhile, Kaiba understood the purpose behind Yugi's performance.

President: Add the list of prohibited and restricted cards! It absolutely must be added!

Yugi: I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Of course, that's a story for another time.

The Yugi then proceeded to remove the remaining three body parts one by one; it was time to collect them.

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the effect of the Spell Card [Seed of the Beginning] again, adding one banished [Seed of the Beginning] and [Exodia the Forbidden One] to my hand."

Perhaps because his saliva was almost dry, Yugi grabbed all four other body parts from the excluded area at once.

"Because of this Infinite Loop, I added the remaining [Right Arm of the Forbidden One], [Left Arm of the Forbidden One], [Right Leg of the Forbidden One], and [Left Leg of the Forbidden One] to my hand in sequence."

The five cards were then Yugi in a row on the duel platform.

"Since the [Exodia the Forbidden One] are now complete in my hands, this duel is my victory."

[Cyber Brain: LP4000→0]

Once the five body parts were identified on the dueling platform, the Yugi was immediately declared won.

Exodia wasn't projected either, probably because the opponent was a machine, and the demon god was too lazy to show himself and fight the bots.

"As expected of Yugi-san!"

"Very good!"

"..."

As the children watched their idol finish Yugi cards, they cheered excitedly.

Jonouchi happily put his arm around Yugi's shoulder. "Wow, Yugi! That move you just made... uh, what was it again?"

"It's Infinite Loop."

"Ah, right, that Infinite Loop is amazing!"

"So, what are you trying to say Jonouchi-kun?"

At that moment, Jonouchi's Yugi, "Hey, Yugi, do you see any monsters in my deck that can be used for Infinite Loop? Can you teach me how to do Infinite Loop? That move is so cool!"

Yugi stared at Jonouchi with a speechless expression.

There's no need to be so cautious. It's just asking him to learn a technique; there's no need to be so shy.

The Yugi sighed, then replied, "The key to Infinite Loop is that card effects have no limit on the number of turns."

"No limit on the number of turns? That's right, those cards can be recycled indefinitely because there's no limit to the number of times they can be activated."

Jonouchi suddenly felt disappointed. "I don't think I have that condition in my deck."

The Yugi then shook its head, denying it. "No, there really is!"

"Huh?"

"That [Iron Knight Gia Freed] card has this characteristic."

"Yes!"

Jonouchi suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything to combine them with.

So he shamelessly leaned closer and asked again, "Um, the Yugi... I can't figure out how to do it. Could you teach me again?"

The Yugi developer sighed again, "Fine, I'll give you a hint."

As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it to Jonouchi.

The latter took it and exclaimed, "Huh, it's actually [Dark Magician Gilfer the Accursed]?"

He looked completely bewildered and said, "It's true that this card has an unlimited number of uses, but equipping it to Kiafrid repeatedly doesn't work, does it?"

"So you'll need other synergy cards, [Raise Spirit] and [Exploding Flame Girl]. This [Dark Magician Gilfer the Accursed] is yours to research."

That's enough.

The Yugi no longer pays attention to the Jonouchi where the players are still brainstorming.

King then exclaimed, "What a formidable combination of infinite damage reduction!"

"You saw through me, the Other Me?"

"Hmm, I see. Every time [Iron Knight Kia Fried] equips [Dark Magician Gilfer the Accursed], he recovers health due to the Continuous Spell [Raise Spirit]."

"Each time [Exploding Flame Girl] recovers health, she will deal effect damage to the enemy."

The Yugi developer nodded, affirming his analysis.

"That's it, and it's not just that. There's also the combination of [Iron Knight Gia Fried], [Butterfly Dagger - Echo], and [Royal Magical Library]."

"When [Butterfly Dagger - Echo] equipped on a monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, it can be bounced back to your hand."

"Each time Spell Card is activated, the [Royal Magical Library] gains one Spell Counter, which can be used to draw cards from the deck."

"By combining [Iron Knight Gia Fried] and [Butterfly Dagger - Echo], you can accumulate Spell Counter infinitely, allowing you to draw all your cards in one turn. Then, combine that with Exodia or other powerful cards..."

King gasped in shock. "Another terrifying tactic!"

That's it. The Iron Knight have seemingly terrible side Side Effect?, but they also have the classic Infinite Loop tactic.

So never underestimate those cards with Side Effect?, especially those cards that have no effect usage, because skilled players can always come up with some amazing tricks.

Afterwards, the children thanked the group of people playing the Yugi and then left excitedly.

Later, President Kaiba who arrived late, explained to the Yugi team the cause of the accident: it was indeed caused by someone hacking into the duel system.

So he rushed here to pick up his younger brother after eliminating the intruder.

He also promised to strengthen the system's defenses to prevent such incidents from happening again.

After all, it would be unpleasant to be disturbed while playing cards or Yugi. (Important point)

Chapter 148 The First Opponent in the KC Cup

The next day, at the competition venue for the White Bride headdress design.

Duel masters from all over the world stood together on the central stage, surrounded by a sea of cheering spectators.

The KC Cup, hosted by Kaiba Corporation, has officially begun.

Let's skip the organizer's passionate speech for now and talk about the rules of this competition.

In short, it's based on the free-for-all mode of Duel City. Duelists find their own opponents in Kaiba Land, earning one point for each opponent they defeat, while the loser is eliminated. Once duelists have accumulated enough points, they enter the elimination rounds.

After the rules were explained, the Yugi on stage began to look around at the other players.

Although there are many unfamiliar faces here, there are also many familiar ones. Almost everyone who has appeared in the Duelist Kingdom and Duel City is here, including the three muscular former members of Doma.

Of course, Seto Kaiba, his arch-rival in the Yugi, was standing right in front of him, staring intently at him.

President: Game, this time I'm definitely going to make a clean break with you!

The Yugi awkwardly looked away, ignoring the other person's burning gaze.

President Kaiba is now completely focused on Yugi cards, and has completely forgotten about the anomaly that occurred yesterday.

So you're not going to deal with that hacker?

No, because someone is already monitoring the computer system—that's the long-offline Noah Kaiba.

He originally didn't want to take on this task, but under Mokuba's big, watery eyes, he reluctantly accepted it.

So, with Noah monitoring him, the hacker was about to have a serious question about his existence.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

"Alright, gentlemen, go and find your opponents!"

After Mokuba finished speaking, everyone set off together, scattering to different parts of the amusement park.

Some players followed the Yugi and wanted to fight him as soon as possible, while others avoided him from a distance.

So the Yugi sighed, "Ha~, being too famous isn't always a good thing."

"Yes, but fortunately, quite a few people are willing to fight you."

As the two were talking, Yugi noticed someone was following them, so they continued walking for a while before stopping at a spot under the roller coaster track.

"Is it here? Who will be my opponent in the first match?"

As he spoke, the Yugi player turned around expectantly.

"Uh, I didn't expect it to be you..."

He stared in surprise at the fisherman in front of him, who was wearing slippers, had a spiky hairstyle, and dark skin.

The man waved to the Yugi, "Hey, long time no see! We haven't seen each other since Duelist Kingdom!"

"Yes, it has been a long time indeed, Kajiki Ryota!"

The two greeted each other with smiles and then moved a little closer.

"Kajiki-kun, you're facing me so soon? Aren't you afraid of being eliminated?"

As he spoke, the Yugi handed over its deck.

As Kajiki Ryota took the deck, he said, "Have you forgotten, Yugi? I've said it before, I have no interest in weaklings. The only opponents I acknowledge are you and Jonouchi."

"Yeah..."

The Yugi player nodded, understanding the other person's thoughts.

So the two swapped decks and then stood in opposite positions.

The Yugi beckoned to him, "Come on, Kajiki-kun, it's been a long time since we've had a duel, I'm kind of looking forward to it."

Kajiki chuckled, "That's great! Now, let me show you my evolved Sea Deck, Yugi!"

The two then engaged in Duel Disk.

At the same time, inside the venue.

The Yugi's cheerleaders are currently staring at the screen.

"It's starting! It's starting! It's a Yugi duel!"
