Chapter 703: Stubborn History

"People of your generation may feel that history is fragile. Some people may tell you that time is like a delicate work of art, beautiful but fragile. Even the slightest change may lead to huge changes."

"But they are all wrong."

"Time is far from being that fragile...even very stubborn, you can say that."

"You try your best to hurt it, try to reshape it. You try your best to flap your wings, try to overturn the known history through the chain reaction of the butterfly effect.

But the fact is that you try to change the past and rewrite the established history. But when you return to the future, you always face the same scene...and it is also your own failure."

Z-ONE's narration is obviously his own experience-he travels through time and space again and again to rewrite history, but he can't rewrite the broken ending anyway.

But at this time his voice is still very calm, as if he is just a bystander, and the protagonist of the story he is narrating has nothing to do with him.

You Yu opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted immediately.

"You don't have to explain anything to me, or try to convince me of anything." Z-ONE said coldly, "You are powerless to change the facts I said, just like you are powerless to win this duel.

You will disappoint all those who have high hopes for you, and the ending of the story will always be like this."

You Yu simply stopped talking.

He, the "pseudo-world protagonist", is not good at talking nonsense - that is a talent that only the real protagonist can master. He doesn't think he can convince Z-ONE to change his mind, and the other party's determination may be beyond anyone's imagination.

Then there is only one thing he can do.

Focus on playing cards.

And he has no room to hold back.

"My turn!"

You Yu put his fingers on the deck.

Power spread throughout his body, and an impulse surged through his blood vessels like a galloping army. He felt a dormant "power" awakening, and saw a looming blue storm in front of him.

Skill·God's Wrath, start!

Only once in a duel, when the HP is below 1000, instead of drawing a card normally, add a "Oberisk's Giant God" from the deck to your hand!

A card was drawn from the duel disk with a strong wind pressure, and the strong air pressure made it difficult to breathe.

Z-ONE watched his actions calmly, as if everything was expected.

"Flip the cover card."

You Yu waved his hand and turned over the trap card that was hidden on the field from the deck by the opponent's "Red Restart" effect in the last round.

"Trap Card - Reckless Greed. At the cost of skipping the next two draw phases, draw two cards from the deck."

With two cards in hand, You Yu inserted both into the duel disk without thinking. .

"First, face down two cards on the field, then activate the magic card 'Life-threatening Treasure'. Draw cards from the deck until your hand is filled with five cards."

"Are you giving up the next two card drawing phases and determined to go all out?" Z-ONE said, "I have also been to such a time - regardless of everything, risking everything.

There have been times when you succeeded, you will win cheers and hope."

He changed the subject.

"...But you can't afford the consequences of failure - even just one failure."

You Yu still didn't answer: "Flip the face-down card, the magic card 'E Emergency Call', add the elemental hero from the deck to the hand. I add 'Elemental Hero Skyman' to my hand.

Then flip another face-up card, the magic card 'Foolish Burial', select a monster card from the deck and send it to the graveyard. I send 'Executioner Demon Shura' to the graveyard."

Watching a monster card being sent from the deck to the graveyard, You Yu's deck was quickly shuffled. Z-ONE still didn't react.

"Summon 'Elemental Hero Skyman'!"

[Elemental Hero Skyman, ATK 1800]

"Skyman's effect, when summoned, add a 'Hero' monster from the deck to the hand. I add another 'Phantom Hero - Solitary Man' to the hand."

Then comes the unfolding of the hero deck engraved in the DNA.

"I discard a 'Hero' monster in my hand and Special Summon 'Phantom Hero·Lord of the Rings'!"

[Phantom Hero·Lord of the Rings, ATK 1600]

"Lord of the Rings' effect, place 'Phantom Hero·Increase Man' from the deck in the Magic and Trap Zone." Yu Yu showed the Increase Man drawn from the deck, "Then I sacrifice 'Phantom Hero·Lord of the Rings' to Special Summon 'Phantom Hero·Increase Man' in the Trap Zone."

[Phantom Hero·Increase Man, ATK 900]

"Increase Man's effect, Special Summon 'Phantom Hero·Bionic Man' from the deck!"

[Phantom Hero·Bionic Man, ATK 1000]

Z-ONE's eyes slowly swept across his field: "Three heroes are on the field... Are they coming?"

"Use the quick-attack magic 'Quick Attack Summon' from your hand!" (Animation card)

Yu Yu inserted the card into the Duel Board.

"According to this effect, you can Normal Summon a monster in your hand."

A quick attack magic used by Yuujo Judai in the anime. Although it is very similar to the magic card "Double Summon", because it is a quick attack magic, this card can even allow you to summon monsters during the opponent's turn or the battle phase, so it is better than "Double Summon" in all aspects.

"I sacrifice three of 'Elemental Hero Skyman', 'Phantom Hero Increment Man', and 'Phantom Hero Bionic Man'!"

The heroes were entangled by white whirlwinds, and one after another turned into blue beams and rushed into the sky.

Black clouds appeared under the steel dome of the venue, and the clouds seemed to be split by extremely sharp weapons, and the scars penetrated the sky. The dull thunder sounded like dense explosions, and the existence full of great power approached rapidly from the space behind the clouds.

The giant shadow fell down, smashing the floor into pieces like a heavy hammer - Yuyu was sure that the president would not let him lose money for this.

The blue giant stood tall and majestic, looking down from above, and his scarlet eyes seemed to reflect a crumbling and broken world.

Obelisk's Giant God Soldier, summon!

[Obelisk's Giant God Soldier, attack power 4000]

The people around Youyu already knew that he could call the phantom god, so no one was surprised. Even Z-ONE, who was directly facing the might of God, just raised his head calmly and faced the phantom god's overlooking, and he also did not lose his composure at all.

Throughout the whole scene, only the blue god who was left aside and obviously not serious about the recap was exclaiming: "Obelisk! Impossible! How could the phantom god who had returned to the underworld with the Pharaoh...!?"

It's okay that Kaiba can pull out the phantom god from the Pharaoh's grave, but where the hell did you pull it out from?

"Oberisk, the legendary phantom god who represents the pinnacle of Duel Monsters." Z-ONE said, "But there are some things that even gods cannot change.

Oberisk's attack power is only 4000, which is not enough to break through the power of the evil god of the dark side."

"I know." Yu Yu said, "Activate the magic card "Beyond Destiny" from your hand! Select a "Destiny Hero" in the graveyard, and special summon a "Destiny Hero" with a level less than half of the selected monster from the deck.

I choose the level 6 "Destiny Hero·Magic Man" in the graveyard, and special summon the level 1 "Destiny Hero·Disc Man" from the deck!"

[Destiny Hero·Disc Man, attack power 300]

"Next is the effect of the magic man in the graveyard!" Yu Yu said, "Remove the magic man from the game, and special summon the same card from the deck.

Show up! Destiny Hero·Magic Man!"

[Destiny Hero·Magic Man, attack power 800]

"You have two monsters on the field!" Yu Yu said.

Jonouchi's eyes lit up: "If you use Obelisk's ability..."

Obelisk's God Warrior has two special abilities. But the final ability "Soul Energy MAX" either requires other phantom gods as sacrifices or requires the God Warrior to be extremely angry.

When fighting Atum's "Millennium Man-Machine" before, because the opponent used the phantom of the phantom god, the God Warrior was very angry and could activate this ability at will. But now the God Warrior has come out to breathe twice after a long time since the Pharaoh left the world, and he seems to be in a good mood, so he does not meet the activation conditions...

But it doesn't matter.

"I will sacrifice the two monsters 'Destiny Hero·Demon Man' and 'Destiny Hero·Disc Man'!" You Yu raised his hand, "Obelisk's special ability is activated!

The two monsters are sacrificed to destroy all monsters on the opponent's field and inflict 4,000 damage to the opponent's player!"

The Destiny Hero turned into a blue light and charged into the huge fist of the God Warrior. The phantom god raised his fist, and the vibrating air roared. The phantom god threw a punch, and the ground exploded wherever the fist wind reached. The high heat wave was thrown out from the cracks like deep blue lava, cheering, as if a grand celebration was going on in hell.

The storm of divine power raged and engulfed the opponent's half of the court. The evil god of the square world shook violently under the mighty divine power, and it had to insert all its sharp blades into the floor to prevent its body from being blown away.

The destructive divine power hit its deformed steel body hard, and all its eyeballs bulged out. The soft whip-like steel arms were pulled straight by the huge force, and the solid shell of the body made a slight wail.

Z-ONE still did not move until the fist power of the god was like a mountain pressing down on his head, and the waves like the tide submerged him completely.

God's fist crushed and shocked! ! !

【Z-ONE, LP 400 →LP 0】

You Yu saw the steel-gray shell being submerged by the waves like a conch, and saw Z-ONE's life data rapidly falling, all the way down to the number "0", a cold number, without the slightest fluctuation.

...Won?

The duel venue suddenly became quiet. You Yu heard himself breathing heavily, and could also hear his heartbeat, which was so violent that it seemed like his heart was plugged into his ears.

But it looked like it was really over. In any case, Z-ONE's life value had returned to zero, and he lost. This was the irresistible law of the duel, unless...

You Yu's pupils shrank slightly.

He saw a slender and strong arm tearing through the smoke screen, and the round-bodied square monster stood on the field. The chain of light extended from the back of the monster and directly connected to Z-ONE, whose life value had reached zero, as if binding the monster and its master into one.

[Meteor Square Device·Sky Dust, Attack Power 1600]

"I activated the Trap Card-Soul Relay." Z-ONE said coldly, "It can only be activated when the life value reaches 0. Special summon a monster from the hand to the field. As long as the special summoned monster exists on the field, I will not lose.

But if that monster leaves the field, it will be my defeat in the duel." (Animation effect)
