Chapter 1170: Riddle For The Ages

[Yusei, LP0]

Life Points reached Zero, which meant losing the Duel. Yusei had been prepared for this outcome, and before the fight, he had not really expected to win against the legendary boss in front of him.

However, he predicted the result, but not the process.

Until his life points reached zero, he was still digesting the last moment of the duel.

The Equip Spell "Junk Barrage" had a specific description on the card: "When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK in the Graveyard."

Yusei had never noticed this detail, but until now he discovered that the last sentence of this card read "inflicts damage to your opponent equal to half the destroyed monster's ATK."

"Your opponent", not "the controller of the destroyed monster."

In other words, no matter which monster was destroyed, the one who would eventually bear the damage was the "opponent" from the perspective of the duelist who controlled this "Junk Barrage".

So Yuei Vu equipped "Junk Barrage" to Yusei's monster, and then continued to use his own monster to launch suicide attacks. Every time Yuei Vu's monster was destroyed, the effect of "Junk Barrage" would be triggered, and the opponent from Yuei Vu's perspective, Yusei, must receive half the damage of the destroyed monster's attack power.

Yusei himself had a high duel IQ, and he figured out the details of this part after a little thought.

But after figuring it out, he found it even more incredible.

Obviously "Junk Barrage" was his card, and Senior Yuei Vu just briefly saw it during the deck adjustment, but he figured out this connection from this short line of description text!

At this time, Yuei Vu's image in Yusei's mind immediately rose a lot.

No wonder this man is respected as the strongest duelist of all generations!

Not only his strong cards and dueling skill, but his understanding of Duel Monsters is also probably unmatched in the world!

Yuei Vu, who guessed Yusei's thoughts, coughed lightly. Although he felt that the praise was a bit exaggerated, he did not take the initiative to correct and clarify.

In fact, strictly speaking, it was not Yuei Vu's own idea to equip the "Junk Barrage" to the opponent's monster to launch a self-destruct attack.

The players had broad ideas. In fact, many years ago, someone specifically used this "Junk Barrage" to develop a Burn deck called "Junk Angel".

The components of that deck were actually similar to the Blood Angel deck that Coke Sprite used, but the core card was replaced by "Junk Barrage".

The main idea was to put a "The Sanctuary in the Sky" on the field to avoid your own battle damage, equip the opponent's monster with "Junk Barrage", and use the last will monsters such as "Shining Angel" and "Nova Summoner" to madly hit the opponent's monster to self-destruct, and continue to burn LP through "Junk Barrage".

In addition to the discussion of the plot, many players in the forum were eager to try the arrival of the Synchro Era. They believed that at the end of the Different Dimension arc, the game designers deliberately arranged a fight between the gods of Future Yuei Vu and Z-ONE. They deliberately warmed up for the arrival of the Synchro Era and mobilized the enthusiasm and expectations of players for the new version.

Seeing this, Yuei Vu also fell into thinking.

If the new version refers to "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS", then it should mean that players will soon come online on their side?!

This made him even more confused about the timeline of this game.

If you think about it carefully, there were some clues when the game transitioned from DM to GX. The time span between DM and GX was five or six years, but for the players during the maintenance period, they were only offline for a week.

So will they also speed up time and fast forward to the new version this time?

Yuei Vu always felt a strange sense of disharmony. He felt vaguely that he seemed to have noticed something, but he couldn't figure out what it was. He just felt that something was wrong with time.

So if the version was fast-forwarded to 5DS, then since he traveled to the current timeline in the alternate dimension, he has never been able to return to the original timeline?

And if he successfully returned to the original timeline, then from that time point to the beginning of the 5DS story for more than ten or twenty years, where was he? What did he do?

Thinking of this, Yuei Vu found that these questions seemed to be not completely impossible to figure out for the future he was in now.

There was a place, like the landmark and soul of Domino City, that stood in the center of the city before and after the "Zero Reverse" incident, that might help him figure out these questions.

Looking at Yusei, who might have just finished playing cards and was in a high mood and couldn't sleep and was still studying the deck, Yuei Vu tilted his head and thought about it.

"Yusei." He suddenly spoke.

Yusei looked at Yuei Vu, who had returned to a ghostly state.

"What's up, senior Yuei Vu?"

A great man once said that the best way for duelists to understand each other is to communicate with each other through cards. Now that the two had just finished a game of cards, Yusei, who thought he had experienced Yuei Vu-senpai's powerful strength and his unfathomable understanding of the game of Duel Monsters, was in a state of respect for his senior.

"If you don't have anywhere to go tonight, go somewhere with me."

Yusei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay. Where do you want to go, Senior Yuei Vu?"

Yuei Vu pondered for a moment, then turned his head and looked through the window covered with spider webs at the center of the city, the brightly lit building that looked like the Tower of Babel.

"Kaiba Corp."
