CH 178

“Ring of Destruction’s effect is activated!”

This was Yuei Vu’s last card, the last move he could use in this duel, and the moment he used this move, it meant that he has given up the idea of ​​”defeating Yami Yugi”.

“Ring of Destruction can destroy a monster on the field, and deal damage to both players by the amount of that monster’s ATK! I destroy the ‘Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman’ on my field, and both of us will receive the ATK of the Shining Flare Wingman… that’s 7000 damage!”

The ring fell on the neck of the Shining Flare Wingman, and a circle of grenades hanging on the ring detonated in unison. The flashing hero exploded on the spot, all the power contained in his body was released, and the strong impact of the outbreak knocked both sides to the ground at the same time.

[Yuei Vu, LP 0]

【Yugi, LP 0】

The thick smoke of the explosion swept the audience, and the light effects and airwaves were so overwhelming that everyone in the audience could not raise their heads for a long time.

The smoke screen dissipated, and the duel was over. All the stereoscopic projections on the stage have been automatically turned off, and the images of monsters and cards have disappeared.

Leaving only Yugi and Yuei Vu, lying on both sides of the duel arena.

For a long time, there was a strange silence in the field.

This was…mutual kill!?

Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, not even the referee, Uncle Isono, reacted.

No one expected such an outcome at all, and it was impossible for anyone to predict it in advance. After all, DRAW was a scarce result in the Duel Monsters card game, and generally speaking, it was not considered at all.

Uncle Isono hesitated for a while until President Kaiba said indifferently: “What’s the matter, Isono? Hurry up and announce the result.”

“Ah? Oh, yes…”

If the boss has spoken, then a wage earner couldn’t neglect his words. So Uncle Isono quickly raised his hand: “In this Battle City competition, the result of the decisive battle is… a DRAW!!!”

“W…what?” Kujaku Mai in the audience was shocked, “The final result…is it a draw?”

Jonouchi was stunned: “Then… how will the bonus be divided?”

As soon as these words came out, he immediately attracted the contemptuous eyes of President Kaiba.

The president snorted.

What an incompetent horse bone!

Look, besides you, who else among the honorable duelists here cares about bonuses?

These things are just icing on the cake! The duelists who came here to win, who did not fight to the end with all their might for the supreme glory?

At this time, the relaxed Yuei Vu, who finally finished Yugi, lay on his back on the dueling platform and looked at the clouds drifting leisurely in the sky, thinking: “Jonouchi was right! What about the bonus? Do I need to share half with Yugi? ”

Yuei Vu took a deep breath, sat up straight again, and found that Yugi also happened to sit up in the same posture as him.

Both sides kept a half-lying and half-sitting position, looked at each other from the air, and suddenly laughed together.

Sure enough, even if his Rank has improved so much, and he has breakthrough to Rank 7 like a traditional hot-blooded protagonist, it was still a little difficult to beat Yugi at this stage.

It was thanked for the “Card of Demise” and “Ring of Destruction” in the box of cards that Mokuba gave him after leaving Noah’s virtual world. If Yuel Vu lacked one of them, the result must his defeat.

Especially the Ring of Destruction. Because it had almost no restrictions on its use, could forcefully explode monsters and cut down LP without thinking, and occasionally even force a DRAW with self-destruction like Yuei Vu, it has also been a frequent visitor in the forbidden list since the DM era.

Until 2015, Consortium K modified the effect of Ring of Destruction, adding the restrictions of “can only be activated in the opponent’s turn” and “the attack power of the destroyed monster must be less than or equal to the opponent’s HP”, and the effect processing was changed from “both sides reduce LP at the same time” to “Reduce your own LP first, and then reduce the opponent’s LP.”

That was to say, if your HP was reduced to 0 first, then you would be sentenced to lose. Therefore, after modifying the effect text, the “Ring of Forced DRAW” no longer existed.

Fortunately, the Ring of Destruction that Yuei Vu got in his hand was sponsored by the president, so it was the anime version. Otherwise, it may not be so easy to make a DRAW.

“That was a fun Duel.” Yuei Vu couldn’t help but utter a certain Yu-Gi-Oh! line – but he said it from the bottom of his heart.

There was no Shadow Game, no risk of life, no punishment for defeat, only the strength of the duelists on both sides.

Perhaps this was precisely the arrogance of the game called Duel Monsters.

“Ah, I think so too.”

Yugi stood up, stepped forward, and shook hands with Yuei Vu.

“The end of this journey is a duel with you. It’s really nice.”

It was often said in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh that for duelists, a duel was also a process of in-depth communication between the two sides, a collision of souls. Through duels, even opponents who met for the first time could understand each other’s personalities and thoughts.

So now Yuei Vu and Yami Yugi can barely be regarded as good partners who have played cards together.

From the establishment to the sublimation of revolutionary friendship, it all depended on a card.

“Hmph, was it actually a tie in the end?” The president stepped onto the stage and hummed, “It’s really boring.”

“Kaiba.” Yugi turned his head sideways.

“Don’t worry, it’s a bit unexpected, but since the result is like this, so be it.” Kaiba said lightly, “The champion of this Battle City competition is the two of you.”

After a pause, he glanced sideways at Yuei Vu: “Congratulations, you and Yugi share the title of ‘Duel King’ from today… At least for now.”

Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows.

What does the president mean by this?

For Yugi, President Kaiba has never won once in the many times they dueled. But how could the president be willing to bow before someone who had never beaten him?

Sooner or later, as long as Yuei Vu still had the title of “Duel King” on his head, the president would definitely find a chance to play cards with him.

Thinking of this, Yuei Vu couldn’t help but feel a chill under his body for no reason.

Being targeted by the president… I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape even if I go to the world of the dead…

…but that’s something to consider in the future.

Yuei Vu coughed twice: “Well, President. Since the game is over, about the reward…”

What he was concerned about by now was what would happen to the monetary prize for the champion. To Yugi or to himself?

At this time, Yugi has switched from battle mode back to the usual cute appearance. The main personality Yugi Muto generously waved his hand: “I don’t need the bonus, you can just take it, Yuei Vu.”

“Ah?” Yuei Vu was embarrassed to take it after he said that. “Isn’t that bad?”

“It doesn’t matter, I’m not short of money.” Yugi Muto smiled honestly, “Because I won Pegasus in the Duelist Kingdom before, according to the bet with Pegasus, I have 60% of the shares of the Industrial Illusions, so money does not matter.”

Yuei Vu: “……”

MD, I thought everyone was poor, but I didn’t expect everyone except me to be rich!

Yugi, you are so rich, why do you dress like a normal student?

“Hmph, since we promised the championship bonus, Kaiba Corp will naturally not break his promise as the organizer.” Kaiba snorted coldly, “Since there are two champions, you will all receive the bonus.”

Yuei Vu immediately respected the president.

As expected of the president! The president is awesome!

The bonus was given out in double, and he didn’t even blink an eye!

Yuei Vu wanted to express his thanks, but the president waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: “No need to decline or something. It’s very troublesome. Anyway, I’ve already made up my mind, so I’ll do it this way.”

Yuei Vu: “…”

President, why do you acquiesce that I want to decline before I speak?

Sure enough, the brain circuits of rich people were different from ordinary people.
