The Protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World May Be the Same Person

Jonouchi, standing nearby, said in stunned silence.

"It's not over yet. I will summon my Deck Master, [Dark Magician Girl], to my field."

Dark Magician Girl moved to Yugi's front field once more.

[Dark Magician Girl: ATK 2000]

"And I activate the Spell Card [Sage's Stone] from my hand."

Can only be activated if you control [Dark Magician Girl]. Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician] from your hand or Deck.

Dark Magician appeared beside his apprentice, Dark Magician Girl.

[Dark Magician: ATK 2500]

[Yugi Muto Hand: 14 → 13]

Yugi's hand is truly abundant right now; he can play however he wants.

"How can this be... summoning [Dark Magician] so easily..."

The pressure on the Great Five Elders was growing.

At this moment, Yugi drew another card and inserted it into his Duel Disk.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Dark Magic Attack]. This can only be activated if you control [Dark Magician] on your field, and it destroys all Spell and Trap Cards on the opponent's field."

[Yugi Muto Hand: 13 → 12]

The Great Five Elders' Field Spell immediately turned into fragments, and the water in the open space gradually disappeared. The Legendary Fisherman hidden at the bottom of the water was also exposed.

[Shell Turtle: ATK 1200 → 1000] [Shell Turtle: DEF 2200 → 2000]

"This is bad!!"

The Great Five Elders knew their monsters were no longer safe.

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the Spell Card [Dark Magic Burst Break]."

Yugi repeated the same tactic, activating the Spell Card depicting Dark Magician Girl.

"This move again, Onore!!"

The penguin across from him was deeply impressed by this strategy.

"It seems you remember it quite clearly. This card's effect can only be activated if you control [Dark Magician Girl] on your field, and it destroys all face-up monsters on the opponent's field. Dark Magic Burst Break!"

As he spoke, Dark Magician Girl raised her staff again.

"Haa--!!"

The girl shot a red energy blast towards the opponent, and the two monsters on the Great Five Elders' field instantly shattered.

"Well done, Yugi! Take down the Great Five Elders in one go! Then we can get Honda's body back!"

Jonouchi jumped up excitedly. He hadn't expected things to be resolved so quickly.

"Yeah, leave it to me, Jonouchi-kun."

Then Yugi raised his hand and shouted at the Great Five Elders.

"Go! I'll attack you directly with [Dark Magician Girl] and [Dark Magician]! Double Dark Magic!"

The Dark Magician and his apprentice exchanged a tacit glance, then simultaneously unleashed red energy waves. The two energy waves merged and shot towards the Great Five Elders.

""Nooooo--!!""

Amidst the Great Five Elders' terrified screams, the attack struck them.

BOOM--!!

Accompanied by an explosion, the Great Five Elders' remaining Life Points were instantly depleted.

[Great Five Elders: LP 2750 → 0]

Chapter 43: Noah Kaiba

"Alright, as promised, switch Honda's body back!"

Yugi said to "Hiro Honda," who was kneeling on the ground.

"It's too late for promises! I'll take your bodies by force!"

The Great Five Elders instantly transformed into five Deck Masters and charged at Yugi and his companions behind him.

"Ugh, that's so despicable..."

Jonouchi protectively shielded his sister, Shizuka.

"You won't get away with that! Come forth, Exodia!"

Yugi, who had been on guard, placed all the cards his grandfather had given him onto his Duel Disk.

Exodia instantly appeared and swatted the Great Five Elders away with a single blow.

""Damn it--!!""

The Great Five Elders, seeing their little trick fail, quickly retreated back into Hiro Honda's body.

However, Yugi wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

"Exodia, stop the Great Five Elders!"

As they approached that body, Exodia had already taken it into its possession.

The Great Five Elders, a step too late, froze in place.

"We're finished..."

They no longer had a chance.

"How pathetic, Great Five Elders."

At this moment, a young boy's voice suddenly echoed from the sky.

"Lord Noah!?"

The Great Five Elders immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

"Your mission is over."

Without waiting for their reaction, Noah erased them all as if deleting them.

"The Great Five Elders... completely disappeared..."

After waiting for a while and not seeing the Great Five Elders again, Yugi and the others finally confirmed this fact.

Afterward, seeing that they were temporarily safe, Yugi had Exodia put down Hiro Honda's body and allowed Hiro Honda's consciousness to return to it.

When their companion's body returned.

"Yugi Muto!"

Noah's voice rang out again.

"Noah! What exactly do you want to do? What did you do to Mokuba?"

Yugi immediately questioned the sky.

"Yugi Muto, my target has always been Seto alone. However, thanks to the Great Five Elders, I've witnessed the terrifying strength of someone Seto considers a rival. If I defeat you, won't that prove I'm superior to Seto?"

Noah seemed to have an idea.

"Noah, who exactly are you?"

Yugi finally voiced his question; he still didn't know why they were being targeted.

"Oh my, I haven't introduced myself yet... Then I'll tell you. My name is Noah Kaiba, the biological son of Gozaburo Kaiba."

Hearing this, Yugi and the others realized they were caught up in the Kaiba family's internal affairs.

"Yugi Muto, if you truly want to save Mokuba, then come and Duel me. I'll be waiting for you."

Then he fell silent, and a door appeared before Yugi and the others.

Seeing this, Yugi unhesitatingly placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Yugi, are you really going to accept the challenge?"

"Yugi..."

Jonouchi and Anzu were very worried about him.

"I have to go. His stake is Mokuba, and Mokuba is also our companion, so I must go save him."

Saying this, he opened the door without hesitation.

"You really can't be helped..."

His companions could only follow him.

In a place covered in lava.

"Welcome, Seto, Yugi."

Noah, who had been waiting, greeted Yugi and President Kaiba, who had appeared in this space together.

"Yugi..."

The President was somewhat surprised by Yugi's appearance, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What he cared more about was...

"You bastard, what did you do to Mokuba?"

He immediately questioned Noah.

"Don't worry. No matter how the fate of our Duel turns out, it has nothing to do with Mokuba. I'll let him go, but only on the condition that Yugi Muto defeats me in the Duel."

At this moment, Noah pointed his finger at Yugi.

"You mean Yugi!? What do you mean by that? This is between you and me, it has nothing to do with outsiders!"

Hearing that the task of rescuing his brother had been handed over to Yugi, the President, being a devoted brother, immediately became displeased.

"Kaiba..."

Yugi was about to say something.

"It's not irrelevant..."

Noah smiled wickedly.

"What!?"

President Kaiba froze for a moment, not understanding what the other party meant.

"You see Yugi Muto as your rival, and I've already learned about his strength during the Great Five Elders' duel with him. He is indeed powerful, even significantly stronger than you. If I defeat him, I'm sure your pride will be wounded. At that time, I can prove that I am more suited to be the leader of the Kaiba Corporation than you."

Noah said confidently.

"Hmph..."

President Kaiba was looking down.

"Hm!?"

Noah raised an eyebrow.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Hahaha~ Ah ha ha ha--!!"

It appeared, President Kaiba's classic three-stage laugh.

"Foolish guy, do you think a dead man like you can defeat Yugi? Don't make me laugh with such empty boasts! The only one who can defeat Yugi is me!"

After stopping his laughter, President Kaiba pointed at Noah aggressively and said.

"Tch, so noisy, Seto! Then I'll win in front of you!"

As soon as Noah finished speaking, a giant birdcage appeared in the sky, containing a sleeping child.

"Mokuba--!!"

The child President Kaiba saw was, of course, his younger brother, who was accustomed to being taken hostage.
