Chapter 1293: Unprecedented Darkness
The attack power of the Ultimaya Tzolkin and the defense power of Obelisk were both infinite. According to the duel rules, this should be a draw battle.
When a monster attacked another monster which wasin Defense Position , if the ATK of attacking monster was equal to the DEF of defending monster, no battle damage would be inflicted and neither monster would be destroyed.
But in such a simple round of battle, some problems beyond the duel seemed to arise during the damage calculation step.
The conflict between the two gods erupted unexpected energy from both sides, rushing out from the originally closed duel field. The surging divine power swept the entire Neo Domino with a unstoppable momentum. Countless Planetary Particles flew all over the sky, and the shadows of the blue giant and the Crimson Dragon confronting each other appeared in the air.
Until a new force suddenly intervened, the duel process was disturbed by an unknown interference and suddenly shut down like an unplugged machine.
The divine power that stirred the space gradually dissipated. The Crimson Dragon stopped attacking, and the giant god slowly retracted his fist. He glared at the other party fiercely, as if he felt that he had not fought enough, but he quickly turned into a transparent phantom and disappeared from the field.
The duel ended.
A brand new shadow appeared out of thin air in the middle of the field like a ghost.
The iron shell of the ammonite was suspended in the air as if there was no gravity, and a blue and tired eye was revealed under the cracks in the steel.
That was Z-ONE, who was almost an old acquaintance to Yuei Vu.
"Z-ONE!" Paradox seemed a little surprised to see him here.
"God." Jose was even more surprised.
Jose was now just one of Aporia's clones, and did not have complete memories of his life. He didn't remember how he met Z-ONE and how they became partners. He only remembered that Z-ONE was the god he was loyal to, and that he and the Iliaster Organization were tools created by God to rewrite the ruined future.
"I'm wondering when will you appear," Yuei Vu glanced at Z-ONE, "You appear in my time and duel with my future self, and then I will be involved in this future because of some paradox correction system. Is this also in your plan?"
"No."
Z-ONE answered.
"I returned to your time to correct something that happened in that period. But preventing that thing has caused a new series of problems. Your coming here is just one of those problems."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to the Crimson Dragon hanging behind Ushio.
"Ultimaya Tzolkin, the God of Creation, the origin of Synchro?"
"I'm sorry for the future you're going through." Crimson Dragon said, "But Synchro was not originally meant for this."
Could it be that after we returned from the other dimension, we played cards and destroyed the world?
"In the original history, after you left the other dimension and returned to your own world, Kaiba Seto completed the final stage of the development of the Duel Link System under the key proposal you made.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miraculous system. Duelists from any dimension and any era can be connected by that system and duel across time and space.
In the original history, Duel King Yuei Vu, you traveled to Neo Domino decades later through the perfected system, became the Duel King behind Yusei Fudo, and defeated the Dark Signers with him and won the WRGP championship."
Yuei Vu's mind moved slightly.
Does it mean that the Brother Crabhead from the future that he met should have come from this timeline mentioned by Z-ONE?
So this explained why that Brother Crabhead had a lightning-shaped mark on his face, but the Brother Crabhead that he was currently possessed did not. Did this mean that the world timeline has changed?
No, this still cannot explain many problems.
For example, why it feels like those legendary duelists, including himself, have no news in this era.
"But the miraculous system you developed has become a new fuse." Z-ONE said, "It connects all duelists across all eras and dimensions, and it has become a great opportunity for Nightshroud.
The awakened Nightshroud estimated that he was no match for you, the Duel King, so he did not take direct action, but lurked in the Duel Link system you developed.
The darkness of countless eras was gathered, and countless duelists were used by Nightshroud. It was a huge darkness that he could not collect in just one era, and in the end, the Duel Link system unknowingly became a petri dish for darkness."
Yuei Vu frowned: "You mean, Nightshroud hid in the Duel Link to grow?"
"Yes. But that soon attracted your attention, Duel King Yuei Vu." Z-ONE said, "You discovered his existence and defeated him together with your student, the legendary duelist Yuki Judai.
After that, considering the possible risks of the Duel Links system, you permanently closed the Duel Links system. No one except yourself and Seto Kaiba, a very small number of duelists, could use this system.
But it was too late. Nightshroud was not completely defeated by you, or should I say, it was impossible for him to be completely defeated. He was essentially a collection of darkness in the human heart. As long as the darkness in the human heart still exists, he will come back no matter how many times.
The biggest problem is that none of you noticed that when he was defeated by you, he had learned similar abilities through the ‘Duel Links' system.
Just like the ‘Duel Links' system, he can contact duelists and spirits of any era, and absorb the power of darkness from all of them, making himself infinitely stronger.
When we, ‘Iliaster', noticed it, it was too late. Nightshroud, who absorbed unimaginable darkness from countless dimensions, has become a powerful monster that has never been seen before and may never be seen again. No one can defeat it anymore. "
