"So, I hear that you've seen Mr. Pegasus?"
At nine o'clock in the evening. Mr. Phoenix was on the phone with Yuei Vu while leading his son on the way home from the company.
Little Aster bounced all the way, as if the higher he jumped, the better he could hear what was being said on the phone.
"Ah, it's true." Yuei Vu said, "Mr. Pegasus hopes that I can help in the development of the 'Elemental HERO' series, and he also said that he will design a new deck for me."
"Oh? Then congratulations. Mr. Pegasus usually doesn't design cards himself easily now." Mr. Phoenix said, "But often only the cards designed by him are the best."
This was true. It was well known that Pegasus created the three Egyptian Gods, the symbol of the pinnacle of this field.
And before Pegasus, all the designers who had worked on the production of the Three Egyptian Gods were either dead or crazy, and only Pegasus, who possessed the power of the Millennium Eye, was able to complete this work.
The ATK/DEF and text description of the duel monster card were actually not something that the creator could write at will. The effect and strength of each card generally depended on the strength of the supernatural power contained in that card.
As many people already knew by now, Duel Monsters was not originally a card game, but an ancient ritual handed down from ancient Egypt.
In that era, monster spirits were all sealed in stone slabs, and the duelists were all directly competing for the strength of the spirits at that time, and there was no such thing as attack power, defense power or effect description.
In the card games developed to this era, the attack power and effect text of each card were all embodied by the power contained in the card under the constraints of the rules of the card game called "Duel Monster".
The simplest example is the Three Phantom Gods. Of course, it was impossible for the Egyptian God to allow the designer to scribble effect text on the surface of his card. If he wrote a wrong word, or some effect description made Egyptian God dissatisfied, he may be immediately punished by God.
In other words, the effect of the Three Egyptian God cards was probably printed by the three of them themselves. A more detailed explanation was the text embodied by the power of God under the rules of the Duel Monster game, so it has a powerful effect of destroying the balance of the game in the current environment.
Occasionally, there were powerful spirits like Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and Dark Magician. The cards they conjured up seem to have average attack power or even be a Normal monster. That's just because the power of the spirits has not been fully developed.
Regardless of Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, or Dark Magician, the power of spirits was not just sealed in the card. They had a large basket of support cards, and there were follow-up vests such as the Red-Eyes Dragoon or Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon. These were also the hidden power of the spirits.
"Having said that," Yuei Vu asked, "how is your Destiny HERO developing?"
Mr. Phoenix smiled mysteriously: "Well, I have made considerable progress since I dueled with you last time. To tell you the truth, a card that has been under development recently has finally been completed.
This is a work I am quite proud of, and it should be the highest achievement I can achieve as a designer in my life. This card is the final posture of the Destiny HERO in my fantasy, and it means the same to me as the Three Egyptian Gods to Mr. Pegasus…"
Yuei Vu's expression changed a little when he heard this.
Hey, if you put it this way, that card could be…
At this point in the conversation, the voice of Mr. Phoenix on the other end of the phone suddenly changed: "Who are you? What are you doing? Aster, come behind me…"
"…"
That's all for the sound.
Yuei Vu raised his volume and yelled into the phone for a long time, but he didn't get any reply. All he got back was the disturbing busy tone.
Yuei Vu put down the phone and frowned.
From what Mr. Phoenix said on the phone just now, it seemed that the card called "Ultimate D" – Destiny HERO Plasma has been completed at this time.
In the anime timeline, a third-rate duelist named DD killed Mr. Phoenix and took the card of Plasma from his hand. Then DD was possessed by the huge evil power sealed in the Plasma card, and sold his soul to the devil in exchange for extremely powerful power.
Obviously, the murderer obtained enough "force" to instantly become a high-star duelist through the Plasma card. After that, he turned from a third-rate duelist who was so poor to a world champion, and continued to win the championship for the next ten years, becoming a legend in the professional dueling league circle.
But Yuei Vu remembered that in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's flashback, it should have been a burglary, and the location should be at Mr. Phoenix's home.
Could it be that the butterfly effect caused slight changes in the timeline?
But now he didn't have time to think about it. After Yuei Vu hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Nightcrawler World.
President Kawasawa Gai answered the phone quickly: "Hello? Yuei Vu? What's the matter?"
It sounds like he should be in the headquarter because the background sound behind him was too noisy. Yuei Vu heard a rough voice singing at the top of his throat and vaguely heard a big man shouting angrily, "Who just took off my pants"…
… Listening to the sound, one could imagine a group of brothers and sisters singing and dancing.
Yuei Vu went straight to the point: "I need to track down a phone number, a person whom I just called half a minute ago, and I need to know the location as soon as possible."
"Ah? Oh… okay, just wait for a while."
Although Nightcrawler World was a card club that seemed to be developing towards the macho club, it was actually a Shadow Duelist organization that is involved in many industries and fields, and there was no shortage of first-class hackers.
Even Shadow Duelists have to keep up with the times.
Modern technology was so advanced, the Shadow Duelists were pleasantly surprised to find that there were still many things that can be solved by means other than playing cards…
With Yuei Vu's current prestige and status in the organization, using these resources only needed one sentence. President Kawasawa Gai didn't even ask the reason, and directly arranged for his request.
…
"Dad… Dad." Little Aster shrank behind his father with some fear, and hugged the latter's leg.
Appearing in front of them was a poorly dressed uncle with stubble on his chin. He wore a pair of cracked glasses on the bridge of his nose. Behind the lenses were beast-like dangerous eyes, with scarlet light flickering faintly in the pupils.
Mr. Phoenix asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The uncle smiled strangely twice, and slowly raised his arm… and the Duel Disk on it.
"Let's have a duel." The uncle said coldly, "…take that ultimate card as a bet!"
