Chapter 1596: Finale: Duel King Yuei Vu
In the worldview of Yu-Gi-Oh, zero LP meant a death sentence.
And in this duel, it may be more than just death.
For Nightshroud, who was supposed to be immortal, losing the duel didn't mean anything. Although he lost, the impact on him was just a loss of vitality.
As long as time passed, he would recover, come back, and even become stronger.
But the power of the Victory Dragon rewrote everything.
Nightshroud's body was shattered, and his wide robe was tattered. His hood was flipped over in the impact, and his white goat head was covered with cracks. The majestic dark mist burst out from countless cracks like gushing blood.
"Ugh! Ahhhh!!!"
He raised one arm with difficulty, with his five withered fingers pointing in the direction of Yuei Vu, stumbling forward, with a vicious light flashing in his dark blue eyes.
He couldn't accept this result.
After countless reincarnations and countless absorptions in time and space, he should have been invincible, and no one could stop him. The dimensions of all duelists would be swallowed by darkness and become part of Nightshroud's domain.It should have been foolproof, and he should have succeeded no matter what…
"Duel King Yuei Vu!"
He tried to attack, like a beast struggling before death.
But he couldn't do it.
The Victory Dragon opened its mouth again, and a golden and hot torrent blasted out. Nightshroud's body was swallowed by the golden light again, and his last attack before death finally failed, and he was pressed back to the ground.
He had to accept this fact-the game was over.
He lost completely. All the preparations, all the plans, the possibilities of Nightshroud in countless time and space, all turned to ashes under the blow of the Victory Dragon at this moment.
He raised his head stubbornly under the impact of the light of victory. His skull-like head was melting, and his body was gradually disintegrating, but his dark blue eyes were still staring at Yuei Vu, full of unwillingness and hatred.
"You won, I admit this, Duel King Yuei Vu." He said, "Maybe I will be destroyed, maybe I will really die. But the darkness in people's hearts will never be extinguished.
The winner will live forever with the resentment of the loser!
Even if I die, as long as the darkness of mankind is still there, there will always be new incarnations of Nightshroud, and there will be other existences to replace me!
It will inherit my resentment, carry my anger, and one day it will take revenge on you, the hateful Holactie, and this rebellious dragon!"
This was his last sentence.
After saying this, his last bit of energy seemed to have finally been exhausted. Nightshroud's body was annihilated and shattered, and the whole thing disintegrated and disappeared.
At the same time, all Nightshroud in time and space almost simultaneously let out an unwilling wail. The light of victory transcended the shackles of time and space, modified the laws of the world's operation from the root, and erased the existence of "Nightshroud" forever.
Victory!
Yuei Vu won the battle that bet on the surface world and the future of mankind.
But it's not over yet.
Although the duel was over, even Nightshroud, as a duelist, had been eliminated, but "Zorc Necrophades the Great Evil God of Darkness" was still there.
He hadn't given up yet.
Zorc roared, a dark light flashed in his scarlet eyes, and the huge dragon head was raised high, and the world-destroying blow came straight towards Yuei Vu!
This was the time he felt he was closest to defeating Holactie. In the long years, he had never been as confident as today, thinking that he could definitely press his old rival to the ground and rub his dragon head to her face.
But with the fall of his most powerful ally, these fantasies gradually faded away.
In fact, Zorc's last attack was just a struggle to vent his anger. In his heart, he actually realized how it would end.
Sure enough, just as it had happened countless times in the past.
Red, yellow, and blue beams of light shot out from Yuei Vu's duel disk, and the three beams of light merged into one, blooming with a thousand-foot brilliance!
The sacred body appeared in the dark space, and the darkness that constituted the inner world fell apart. She stood between heaven and earth, as if she wanted to purify this dark world!
Holactie the Creator God of Light!
History was repeated again. The darkness of destruction is decomposed and crushed by the brilliance of creation. The great evil god was suddenly knocked away, the huge dragon head under his crotch was broken again, and his body was decomposed and sinking into the endless abyss.
The strong light burst out, as if it instantly shattered the entire World of Darkness!
The collapsing world was filled with huge gravity, and Yuei Vu could feel his body being sucked away. He was like a feather that strayed into the center of a storm, drifting with the current.
The biting coldness swept through his body, penetrating through layers of darkness, and Yuei Vu felt like he was thrown out of the inner world. He was thrown out of the constantly collapsing world, and the strong sense of weightlessness quickly captured him, and he felt his body falling continuously.
A voice sounded in his ears.
Although it was a completely unfamiliar voice that he had never heard before, Yuei Vu understood it very quickly.
That was Victory Dragon.
"You won this ceremony battle, which may be the most important in the history of Duel Monsters." Victory Dragon said, "This is a milestone victory, congratulations.
This will make you the greatest duelist of all time, and your name will be remembered forever. "
After a pause, it changed the subject.
"Thanks to you, my ancient power has been liberated again. The existence called Nightshroud will be completely destroyed.
But Nightshroud is an existence that has existed since the origin of the world. He exists in all time and space, and he has become an indispensable part of the history and laws of the world.
Erasing his existence means change. "
"Change?" Yuei Vu muttered in his heart.
"Yes, change. All time and space will intersect, history will be rewritten, and new laws will overwrite everything. Especially the ‘Duel Link' that is connected to the time and space of the heavens, the connection between it and Nightshroud will also be completely eliminated, and there may be time and space confusion during this period, or… other accidents.
For example, the impact of the world reshuffle will expand to other times and spaces, other parallel worlds.
Maybe something that exists in our time and space will drift to other worlds, or… people or things from other worlds will come to our world. "
Yuei Vu's mind moved.
People or things from other worlds will come to this world…
…Doesn't this sound very much like my situation?
Thinking back to the beginning, he created a small account in an immersive card-playing online game called "World Link Online" in his own world, and came here in a daze when he opened his eyes.
According to what Victory Dragon said, does it mean that the reason why he traveled through time and appeared here… is actually related to the time and space shuffle caused by his current use of the power of Victory Dragon to destroy Nightshroud?
So was it that he transmigrated first and led to the end of Nightshroud being destroyed, or was it that Nightshroud being destroyed indirectly led to his original transmigration?
Yuei Vu was a little confused.
It feels like this is an unsolvable problem, a closed loop.
"You were originally an accident, an unknown variable in this world. But you have reached a height that no one in this world has ever reached, and achieved achievements that no one has ever achieved.
Although it was just an accident at the beginning, now you may have a choice. "
"What choice? "Yuei Vu asked.
"Return to the path you were supposed to follow." Victory Dragon said slowly, "Return to the world you were supposed to live in, and then everything that happened here will become a dream.
You will have the life you were supposed to have in the world you were supposed to live in, and you can choose the path you want to take yourself. My power can help you achieve it."
Yuei Vu: "…"
Yuei Vu knew that it might be telling the truth.
Victory Dragon might really have such an ability.
But there was nothing to think about.
……
When Yuei Vu opened his eyes again, his feet had already landed on the ground.
The air was extremely fresh, the sun was brighter than any time in his memory, the sky was blue and clear, and the fierce fight just now seemed like a dream.
"Yuei Vu-sensei!"
"Yuei Vu-senpai! "
When he turned around following the sound, a large group of friends with various hairstyles and strange colors were already running towards him. Judai and Yusei were leading the way, and Yugi, Jonouchi, Jack, Crow, and others were also following.
But in the end, no one was faster than Chika-chan.
She threw herself into Yuei Vu's arms, lowered her head, and her little face was flushed.
"Welcome back." She whispered.
Yuei Vu stood in the sun, looking at the people around him who had become irreplaceable at some point, and smiled softly.
Yes, his decision had actually been made a long time ago.
This was his life now, and what he should be like.
He was the Duel King Yuei Vu.
