Chapter 1294: last stroke
"So you came to our time for this?"
You Yu shook the dueling plate he was wearing on his hand.
"Duel Link System?"
"Yes." Z-ONE said, "that is the key to guiding mankind to a new future of destruction. After you and Seto Kaiba returned to the present world from another dimension, the development of the final stage of the interdimensional duel link system was the ultimate goal. important turning point.
But none of that matters anymore. Because after we intervened in that timeline, all those things I just mentioned were lost in the distortion of history.
The world line changes again, old crises are eliminated, but new problems will always arise, once again leading the future to destruction. "
Hearing this, You Yu couldn't help feeling that the entire huge timeline was like a big ship that was crumbling in a storm, and Z-ONE and others were the only repairmen.
They ran up and down the ship, filling in gaps, but they couldn't keep up with the sinking speed of the ship. Every time they try to fill the previous gap, there will always be more and bigger new gaps, dragging the ship down to even more desperate abyss.
"...Okay, so what's the question now?"
Z-ONE's huge mechanical arm lifted up and pointed to the duel plate in Yuyu's hand.
"It's still your invention," he said. "The duel link system."
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"What happened this time?"
"As I just said, the Duel Link system is the most miraculous invention ever invented. Even from our point of view at the end of time, it's an incomprehensible technology.
It can connect duelists from different time and space, different dimensions, and even duelists who do not belong to an era at all.
So from this perspective, this is a system that transcends time. So when the world line changed again this time, something happened that none of us expected. "
Z-ONE narrowed his eyes.
"The 'Duel Link' system that was born in the timeline that should have been revised... has not disappeared," he said. "It still exists, independent of the timeline, connecting every era and every dimension. ."
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Good guy, President Haima has tossed out such a buggy system?
It feels like this system is about to be integrated into the laws of the world, right?
"Not only that." Z-ONE continued, "Not only did the duel link system not disappear, but in this world line change, its existence caused consequences that no one expected.
Several major eras originally linked by the power of this system - the early era of dueling monster revival marked by the first duel king Muto game; the fusion era marked by the new duel king Yucheng ten generations of students; The era of synchronicity marked by the duel king Fudo Yusei——
——These are the eras where abnormal disasters occur most frequently and extraordinary existences appear most intensively on the timeline of dueling monsters, and because of the frequent appearance of those extraordinary powers, the dimensions of these eras have been loosened.
So the final result is that these time and space that should have been in different periods of the same timeline... are gradually splitting into different dimensions. "
You Yu: "!?"
Dimensional split?
Damn, why is this plot so familiar?
Isn't that the world view of the well-known Yu-Gi-Oh fan work "Y-Gi-Oh ARC-V"...
In the story setting of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V", in the first three generations of works, several dimensions that should belong to different eras on the same timeline - such as the "Fusion Time and Space" where the Duel Academy is located, Xintong Shiye and Satellite The "homogenous space-time" where the district is located - is separated into different dimensions in Arc-V.
It's just that although GX characters like Asuka and Ed appear in the fusion time and space, and 5DS characters like Jack and Crow also appear in the coherent time and space, but in general, compared with the original, it still feels more like a parallel time and space.
You Yu can't help but start to wonder if it has something to do with the duel link created by Haima in the theatrical version of "Dark Side of Dimension"...
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
Why in this 5DS time and space, he couldn't find any information about himself, about those legendary duelists back then.
Because their existence is being erased little by little from this time and space.
Several eras that should belong to the same timeline are separating, and the links between different eras are constantly becoming weaker.
When these eras are completely separated into several unrelated dimensions, perhaps even the legends of these legendary duelists will disappear completely.
"Every time we try and fail, Darkness draws more and more dark power from it. In the protracted confrontation with Darkness, I have long expected that there may be such a day--
——After countless reincarnations and countless comebacks, Darkness will one day be powerful enough to surpass our technology and find a way to end this reincarnation.
In fact, it seems inevitable. Because...you should also know that duel Wang Youyu. The very nature of Darkness means that he can never be eliminated, so if there will be a winner in this infinite marathon, it will be him. "
You Yu probably already understood what he was going to say.
"You mean...even your chances are running out?"
"Yes." Z-ONE's voice was neither happy nor sad, as if stating a fact that had long been accepted, "We have gone back to the past from the end of time, corrected history countless times, and tried to correct the future countless times.
But not only have we been unsuccessful so far, but this may be our last chance.
This time, not only the Taiyi and I may be destroyed, but all time and space and all dimensions may be engulfed by Darkness.
Every dimension will fall into complete darkness from the beginning to the end of time, and Darkness will become the only winner in the world. "
"How could such a thing happen?" Yu Xing asked in astonishment Are you saying that even history itself will be wiped out? "
"To a certain extent, yes." Z-ONE said lightly.
The red dragon also echoed: "What he said is the truth.
And if all duelist history is wiped out, our world will be affected too. Without the will of the duelists, the history of the elves would soon collapse. Darkness cannot spare our world, all elves are enslaved by darkness - and God is not immune. "
"how so......"
However, although these contents are extremely impactful, Brother Crab is Brother Crab after all, and he quickly adjusted it: "But there must be some way!"
"You're right, don't move the star." Paradox, who had been silent, said, "Z-ONE already has a solution. Although we are desperate, we still have a chance."
"What can I do?" You Xing said, "If there is anything we can do to help..."
"You guys are really helpful, don't move the star." Z-ONE glanced at him and said, "Soon, our final action will begin. But before that, there is still one last bit of preparation work.
If you really want to help, just get on with what you're doing, and don't move. Take part in the WRGP and you'll get all the answers. "
Yuxing: "?"
WRGP again?
Isn't that the World Team Galloping Duel Tournament? What does it have to do with the plan to save the world?
But Z-ONE did not intend to continue to explain.
Immediately after, Yu Xing felt a burst of intense white light occupy his field of vision, causing his brain to become dizzy. When he came back to his senses, the field of duel had disappeared, and he had returned to the building of the Public Security Bureau.
Z-ONE, Jose, and Paradox all disappeared.
