I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game

Jose lay on the cold floor, his eyes dazed and dull, as if he had not yet accepted the fact of defeat.

No, it was not just a simple defeat. If it was just a loss in a duel, it would not have caused such a huge blow to him.

But this was a complete failure.

So far, he had never felt such a huge pressure in a duel. The feeling of being completely unable to resist, as if the whole person was oppressed by an invisible mountain.

From beginning to end, although he felt that he had found a breakthrough more than once and tried to make a gap, now thinking carefully, he felt that he might have no chance from the beginning.

To put it another way, even if he really managed to survive this turn by miracle, even if he really pulled the last "Afterglow" in the deck into his hand in the next turn, he felt that perhaps this duel king still had a way to resolve it.

As long as this "Afterglow" was also blocked, Jose would really have no means of counterattack. Even if Yuei Vu did nothing and passed the turn, Jose would lose directly because of the deck-out rule.

Now he understood a little bit. No wonder the Duel King was so confident that he did not even summon a monster in the first turn.

Because there was no need.

In fact, Jose did not have any chance from beginning to end in this duel. In front of Yuei Vu, the Meklord Emperor Granel, who he was proud of, was really just a trash that could not even act as a wall.

"Is it really so easy to win…" Yusei's eyes flickered.

From his perspective, he thought Jose's on-the-spot response was really quite powerful. Even if it was a complete curb-stomp battle, it could still show Jose's strength as a duelist, which was indeed much stronger than Placido's.

But it was meaningless.

The opponent's strength was on a completely different level from his.

"It seems that I still have a lot of room for improvement," Yusei said in his heart.

During this time with Senior Yuei Vu, he really felt that he benefited a lot. Whether it was his understanding of duels, the optimization of deck construction, or his level as a duelist, he had made a qualitative leap.

But he could still clearly see that he was still a long way from being a real strong man like Senior Yuei Vu. He couldn't relax yet, he had to keep working hard and continue to work hard to reach a higher level.

Yuei Vu walked forward and pulled out his deck naturally and smoothly under the old man's angry eyes. But Yuei Vu didn't rush to turn off the Duel Disk but turned his head to a place in the empty room where no one was.

"If you want to do it, you can come out now." Yuei Vu said calmly, "I'm in a good mood today, I can play a few more games with you."

Yusei followed his gaze and looked in that direction, but only found it puzzled to find nothing.

Is there anyone there?

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Yuei Vu smiled lightly.

"There's no point in hiding. No one can hide from me in this duel domain." He said slowly, "Or do you want me to start the Shadow Game and pull you out?"

There was another short moment of silence, and a slight fluctuation appeared in the space.

Just like ripples on the water, a figure appeared out of thin air.

It was a muscular man with blond hair that was dressed up in a very good hairstyle for playing cards, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Long time no see, Duel King Yuei Vu." He said.

This time Yuei Vu was a little surprised.

"Paradox?"

Paradox, one of the last humans at the end of time, a partner of Z-ONE. In the past, he traveled through various eras to collect the most powerful monsters, trying to save the future by destroying duel monsters. Later, he was defeated by Yuei Vu and Judai and Yusei from the future and was whitewashed after accepting the Talk-no-Jutsu effect of the duel kings.

Even the golden Duel Disk in Yuei Vu's hand was still a high-end product from Paradox's future. The reason why he traveled to the 5DS era and bound to Brother Crabhead was all because of Paradox's Duel Disk.

And he said "long time no see", which meant he was the Paradox that Yuei Vu had met before.

But hasn't this man been whitewashed?

"I knew that the three emperors are not your opponents." Paradox said, "A duelist like you is really too strong for Aporia's clone."

The three emperors were actually one person in essence. They were the clones of Aporia, a companion of Z-ONE. Only when the three emperors were combined could Aporia's full strength be fully exerted.

With only one-third, it was indeed a waste of time in front of Yuei Vu.

"So you're here? Let me guess, did Z-ONE send you?" Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows, "What happened after you went back from our era?"

Could it be that after Paradox was whitewashed by Talk no Jutsu and went back to the future, Z-ONE restored his factory settings and cleared the whitewashing BUFF?

"I know what you're thinking, Duel King Yuei Vu. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten the experience and results of our last meeting."

Paradox said, his eyes swept across the Duel Disk that once belonged to him in Yuei Vu's hand.

He smiled slightly: "It seems that you seem to be able to use my Duel Disk."

Yuei Vu did not comment.

Of course, your Duel Disk is awesome.

Z-ONE's products must be top-notch.

"But you changed your mind?" Yuei Vu asked, "After you went back to the future, did you think about rewriting history or destroying the Duel Monsters?"

"The situation is changing." Paradox explained slowly, "In fact, things are constantly evolving. As we constantly modify the past, the situation in the future is also constantly changing.

As you may already know, ‘Iliaster' has existed for a long time. We have made countless efforts, and each time we have deflected history and changed the past, but the future is too stubborn. No matter how many corrections we make to the past, history always has a way to turn the future back to the direction of destruction."

Yuei Vu knew all this a long time ago.

If the ending of destruction was so easy to change, Z-ONE would not have to go to such great lengths.

"But every change we make will definitely have an impact on the future. Although the result has not changed, the situation has become more and more complicated.

For example, now, the future we know is still distorted into a new shape. We are now facing new enemies and unprecedented situations, which forces us to adjust our plans."

"You mean… you give up destroying the Duel Monsters?"

"Maybe." Paradox shrugged, "To be honest, I personally don't mind sharing more details with you, Mr. Yuei Vu.

But Z-ONE thinks the time is not right. He thinks you will play a very important role in the next event, and he will decide when you enter, not me.

You just asked if our God arranged for me to appear here… Actually, it's not. It's my own idea to appear here and meet you again."

Paradox gestured to the Duel Disk in his hand.

"I want to fight you again, Mr. Yuei Vu." He said word by word.
