Chapter 1225: The Return of Darkness
Chapter 1225: The Return of Darkness
The world timeline was closing, and the story of the Dark Singer arc finally ushered in the same ending as the original.
The huge suspended Nazca painting hung high in the air, and the thick lines were like a suspended track. The end of the complex track constructed by those lines, the end of the painting, was a sacred and ancient altar.
Rex Godwin, who carried the two great powers of the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound God, was standing on the altar at this time, like a god looking down on the world from a high place.
"Come on, warriors chosen by the Crimson Dragon!" Godwin shouted, "The ancient riding battle ritual is revived here. This is a sacred ritual that uses this dirty world as a sacrifice!
This battle will be the finale of the end of the old world, and I, as the Ultimate God, will open the prelude to the new world!"
Like the animation, the three protagonists Yusei, Jack, and Crow stepped on the D-Wheel at the same time and came to the starting point of the track. As representatives of the old world, they will have a Riding Duel ritual with Godwin, the self-proclaimed ultimate god.
It's a three-on-one duel, but Godwin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Because he has become a god!
The marks of the two gods were gathered on him, and now he was unstoppable! No matter what kind of enemy he was facing, he could sweep them away!
The Duel Disks of the three people were activated, and the decks were loaded and automatically shuffled in the slots. The D-Wheels rushed out with a pleasant roar."Very good, you all come together." Godwin shouted arrogantly, "It doesn't matter how many people there are. And Yusei, the soul following you is the first generation of the duel king, right?
Interesting, such a strong man is suitable to be the opponent of the final ritual of the old world!
Tell that king, Yusei! After dealing with you guys, he will be the next one!"
It seemed that Godwin had gained the power of the two gods and had become a little inflated and forgetful. But it's hard to blame him. After all, this was a common problem for villains. After getting powerful supernatural powers, they often thought that they were invincible.
After witnessing the duel between Senior Yuei Vu and the Dark Signers just now, Yusei has already admired the strength of this senior to the extreme. Even if Godwin obtained the power of two gods at the same time, he didn't think that Godwin would have any chance of winning against Senior Yuei Vu.
But even so, they didn't intend to lose this duel.
"Please leave this duel to us, Senior Yuei Vu."
Yusei turned his head to Yuei Vu, who always floated beside him, but he was stunned when he turned his head.
Because at this time he realized that Yuei Vu, who had been by his side all the time since their first encounter… was gone at this time.
"…Senior Yuei Vu?"
No response.
"……"
A few minutes ago, when Godwin showed his mark of the two gods and started the ultimate Riding Duel ceremony, Yuei Vu's Duel Disk suddenly activated automatically.
"Target, locked.
Deck in use, confirmed. Deck scan, completed.
Duel domain, activated."
The Duel Disk suddenly entered the combat state. Yuei Vu didn't move at all, and the duel domain expanded automatically.
But it was different from the previous time when he took the initiative to expand the domain. This time, Yuei Vu was in a dark and boundless field. The darkness swallowed everything within the naked eye, and Yuei Vu was the only one in the endless darkness as empty as the universe.
Godwin, Yusei, all the other Dark Signers, and the entire research institute where they were before disappeared. It seemed like a blink of an eye, and when Yuei Vu came to his senses, he had fallen into this oppressive and cold dark space.
This was what it felt like when someone started a Shadow Game with you. A dark barrier that was completely isolated from the world, and only the winner could escape from there.
Moreover, Yuei Vu could feel that this barrier was much higher than the Shadow Game of the previous Dark Signers. The master who started this game was undoubtedly a strong man who was proficient in this. Compared with him, the so-called Shadow Game of the Dark Signers was just like a role-playing game for children.
After a short silence, Yuei Vu said to the empty darkness in front of him: "Since you want to fight, don't hesitate. It's about time to show up, right?"
The voice seemed to hit an invisible wall in the darkness, reflecting back and forth to form overlapping echoes.
Soon, a group of muddy darkness gathered together and formed a human figure standing in front of Yuei Vu.
Black tight uniform, red lines, a face full of arrogance with sunglasses, and an expression of not recognizing relatives.
Yuei Vu recognized him.
This person called himself "Mr. T", which meant "Trueman", and was the emissary of Nightshroud, the final villain of GX.
"I'm wondering when are you going to show up." Yuei Vu said.
"Duel King Yuei Vu, long time no see." Mr. T said dryly, "You were just a nobody when we last met… but now you are the strongest king who is famous all over the world and passed down from generation to generation.
Oh, it's really a big change."
"You too, if that's the case."
Yuei Vu looked around the dark space.
"Your strength is a little different from when we first met… Why, did you go back to practice hard after being beaten last time?"
"Yes, I have gained new strength now." Mr. T smiled, "I underestimated you Duel Kings before.
But because of this, I made full preparations this time, and now I am stronger than before."
"But you have become more cautious than before." Yuei Vu said, "The Arcadia Movement, those were all your new thugs, right?
You actually need to use such cheap thugs, it seems that your condition is not very good."
After a pause, Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes and changed the subject.
"Or… because you have a new enemy who will never give up?"
Mr. T was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems that I still underestimated you, Duel King Yuei Vu. When did you notice it?"
"It started when Godwin mentioned the war between the two giants." Yuei Vu said lightly, "Godwin said that everything originated from the protracted battle between the mysterious organization ‘Iliaster' and an equally powerful and mysterious opponent. From the Zero Reverse onward, everything is just collateral damage of the war.
That mysterious opponent… is you, right? Mr. T, or… Nightshroud?"
When Godwin said this, combined with all the clues obtained along the way, and pieced it all together, Yuei Vu probably guessed the truth of this series of mysteries.
Godwin didn't know the true face of "Iliaster", but Yuei Vu knew it. This organization was actually founded by Z-ONE to change the past of human extinction. It transcended the limitations of time and space and controlled the entire human world behind the scenes in the 5DS timeline.
The ultimate goal of Z-ONE was nothing more than to prevent the destruction of mankind in the future. Yuei Vu already knew that the apparent reason for the destruction of mankind is the Duel Monsters and the loss of control of the perpetual motion machine, but the real core crux was the unstoppable spread of the darkness in people's hearts. The perpetual motion machine actually only responded to the human heart, which ultimately led to the tragedy of destruction.
Speaking of "the darkness of the human heart", in the world view of the Yu-Gi-Oh trilogy, there happened to be a BOSS that was the embodiment of this thing.
That was Nightshroud.
