[Paradox, LP 0]
Paradox stayed where he was for a while.
He lost…but he's alive.
He entered this duel with the awareness that it was a dead-or-alive match. The Field Spell "Malefic World" was a card that contained extremely powerful power. While this card allowed him to use the power of Malefic to bind spirits, it also brought huge risks.
In a duel inside the Malefic World, defeat also meant that the life of the duelist would end directly.
But that didn't happen. He was defeated and lost a full 12,000 LP, but he still survived.
This could only be called a miracle.
A miracle summoned by the Duel Kings with the power to change the world.
Paradox sat down on the ground, watching the three Duel Kings walking in his direction after finishing their work, his expression fluctuated for a while.
"Do you want me to believe that you… can change the future?"
"That's right." Yusei walked up and said, "Although it may still be difficult, if we work hard from my time…from the time of each of us, the future can definitely be changed.
Thanks to you for making us aware of this in advance. Leave history to us, and we promise to live up to the expectations of you and your companions. "
"…"
After a brief moment of silence, Paradox sighed and closed his eyes.
"Okay, so this is the last time…just let me believe in that thing called 'Hope' one more time."
He seemed to have finally given up.
Yuei Vu, who had experienced this scene himself, felt miraculous — these two deserved to be the protagonists in the future. Whether their skills in playing cards or Talk no Jutsu, they were quite good.
They actually really straightened this BOSS who didn't even get a chance to whitewash the original theatrical version...
Paradox sighed, looking sideways at the noisy and excited people under the endless blue sky of Kaiba Land – a scene that had long ceased from existence in his time.
He obviously failed in the mission, but at this moment he suddenly felt as if he had completed his mission, and he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
"It's really… lost to you Duel Kings." He hummed and smiled.
Yuei Vu also stepped forward with a rare seriousness: "Yusei and Judai are right, historical issues should be left to the people of their respective eras to deal with. Even if you avoid the problems you have experienced by modifying the past, humans who fail to realize their mistakes will always end up on the same path.
So rest assured and leave the next thing to us, we will not let the same mistakes happen in the future."
Paradox glanced at him and chuckled.
"Duel King Yuei Vu…I have felt from the first time we met that you are really an unpredictable person." He snorted and said, "But since you said so, then I will believe it You're all right once…"
Yuei Vu nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious and the timing seemed almost right, he continued, "If that's the case, you probably don't have to use your Duel Disk anymore. How about…"
Paradox: "..."
What the hell? After all these things are you still thinking about my Duel Disk!?
Judai covered his mouth as if he tried his best to not laugh.
"Sure enough, he is still the familiar Yuei Vu-sensei…"
Paradox was helpless: "By the way, didn't the robot stand I sent to attract your attention earlier also carry a Duel Disk?"
"I know, I know. I've already pulled that out."
Yuei Vu nodded to show that "You don't need to worry about it, I already pulled out that one myself"…
But the future man didn't say anything, just silently pulled out the Duel Disk and handed it to Yuei Vu.
Yuei Vu looked it over and found that there were still a lot of buttons on this thing, which was quite different from the old models of this era.
The operation of this thing may be a bit complicated, and he couldn't figure it out in a short time.
Yuei Vu thought for a while: "Do you have an instruction manual for this thing?"
Paradox rolled his eyes: "Do I need to send you the warranty card too?"
"Okay, okay!" Yuei Vu nodded again and again, "Do you have a warranty station in this era?"
Paradox: "…"
Yuei Vu turned over the Duel Disk and found that there were no cards in the slots.
This guy actually pulled out the deck before the Duel Disk was handed over.
Yuei Vu raised his head, glanced at Paradox, and without saying anything, the guy immediately said: "All the cards in my deck were spirits snatched from various eras! Next, I have to go back and return them to their owners."
Unspoken words: don't think about my deck, these things all have owners.
It was true that Paradox's deck was made up of powerful spirits from various eras. If they were all kept in this era, the timeline would still be messed up.
Yuei Vu said that he was naturally not an unreasonable person and that returning the cards to the owner was the right thing to do.
However, in the next moment, he continued: "But Malefic monsters belong to you, so you don't need to return these cards to others, do you?"
The corner of Paradox's mouth twitched.
"But if the original spirit card is returned to someone else, my 'Malefic' monster will be useless," Paradox said weakly.
Take Malefic Stardust Dragon as an example. Malefic Stardust Dragon could only be summoned if there was a genuine Stardust Dragon in Paradox's deck. After the Stardust Dragon was returned to Yusei, Paradox would never be able to summon that monster.
The same went for other Malefic monsters.
However, Paradox thought about it and felt that without the genuine spirits, his "Malefic" deck would indeed be worthless. Not only he couldn't summon spirits to beat people like before, but it couldn't even be used in a duel.
If there was any use for this deck of his, it was probably a collection for ornamental use, with no real value.
So after hesitating for a while, Paradox took out his own deck, picked out the spirit cards he got from different times and spaces, and handed over the rest to Yuei Vu.
Yuei Vu nodded, very satisfied.
Malefic deck +1!
Although it may not be useful, it was also good to expand the card library.
He aspired to be an NPC that unlocked all cards of Yu-Gi-Oh!
After accepting the Duel Disk and the deck, Yuei Vu then glanced at the heavy and huge D-Wheel behind Paradox.
Speaking of which, the D-Wheel used by the robot substitute seemed to be just a motorcycle that looked like a D-Wheel, and it was not equipped with a perpetual motion machine…
However, before he said anything, Paradox hurriedly said, "It won't work here!"
If you take my D-Wheel, wouldn't I be unable to go back!?
Yuei Vu pouted.
I didn't say anything, who wants your D-Wheel? Who do you think I am?
Yuei Vu felt that if he had to hack his D-Wheel, it would not be impossible.
Anyway, can't Yusei's D-Wheel also travel through time and space now? At worst, he, Paradox, and Judai can squeeze together in that single seat…
Nothing is unsolvable, after all, there is always a method.
But thinking of Paradox's hard life, Yuei Vu decided not to embarrass him.
There will not be many Duel Kings who are as kind and generous as I am from now on.
Yuei Vu gave himself a thumbs up.
Paradox finally stepped on his huge D-Wheel, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Speaking of which, he obviously went back to the past with the consciousness of sacrificing his life to do the mission of "the last human being in history". He never expected that at the end of his trip through time and space, he felt like an aunt who bought vegetables in a vegetable market. After haggling with people for a long time, he was finally slaughtered…
However, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
It feels…not bad.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn his head and take another look at Yuei Vu.
However, the latter was burying his head in tinkering with the future Duel Disk he had just acquired and seemed not to notice his gaze.
"Duel King Yuei Vu… What an interesting guy." He smiled slightly.
Although it felt strange to say that, Paradox couldn't help but feel closer to him.
…there was an inexplicable sense of security.
At this time, a certain Duel King who was tinkering with the Duel Disk suddenly raised his head: "That's right…"
Paradox took a breath, and before he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and started the D-Wheel, and said loudly: "Hope that we will have a chance to meet again in the future, Duel Kings!"
After speaking, the engine of his D-Wheel roared, and a space-time tunnel opened up in front of him. With a burst of blinding white light and turbulence, the huge D-Wheel immediately disappeared out of thin air.
…felt like running away.
Yuei Vu opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, the man had already disappeared.
"What's the rush?" Yuei Vu curled his lips, "I also want to ask him what happened to my exclusive spirit last time, but this guy runs faster than a rabbit…"
In fact, these days, he has already asked this question to Yuki Judai who was also from the future.
After all, Judai seemed to be very familiar with his future self, so there was no reason not to know.
However, he was a very bad student, always ambiguous, with a look of "I know but I just can't tell", the reason was "worried that speaking out in advance will affect the history".
However, Yuei Vu felt that this was a lie.
He boldly guessed that this guy might just want to see the "the teacher wants it but can't get it, and he can't do anything about it" scene.
So Yuei Vu didn't follow up with the question but silently wrote down another note "Day X Month X Year XXXX, Yuki Judai dare to disobey me" in his small book.
Come to think of it, Paradox's trip back to his timeline in the future would be quite interesting.
When Paradox's future companions see him traveling back on this big D-Wheel, but the deck and the Duel Disk were gone, they must be surprised——
——Didn't you go back and edit history to save the world?
Why do you now look like being robbed by Captain Jack's pirate ship?
Then Paradox might have a bad face: "Don't mention it. Fuck, when I went back in time, I met a Duel King who didn't talk about the honors of duelists…"
"…"
