I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Old fans of Yu-Gi-Oh know that although there have been seven Yu-Gi-Oh series so far, only DM, GX and 5DS share the same worldview.

Some people say that this is the intention of the original author, Mr. Takahashi. He personally participated in the planning of these three Yu-Gi-Oh series and buried a hidden line in the story that runs through the three eras.

In DM, the great evil god Soko mentioned the darkness of the human heart. Soko himself is the embodiment of darkness, and it is human beings themselves who give him endless divine power. The feedback of all negative energy and dark thoughts will turn into a trend, which will eventually lead to the destruction of human civilization itself.

The ten thousand year old demon Dazhi also mentioned this. He said that Olihagang is a challenge to mankind. Ten thousand years ago, mankind was destroyed because of being trapped in the darkness of their hearts, and Dazhi predicted that it would still be the same in the future.

Then in the GX era, the final villain Darkness of the animation also mentioned that mankind will one day perish because of the darkness in their hearts. Darkness assimilated all human consciousness and fell into an infinite cycle of illusions, claiming that such a method is the salvation of mankind.

The prophecies of the villains and all the clues all point to the same ending. And in the future revealed in "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS" many years after the story, all these prophecies have become reality.

At the end of human history, the earth civilization is indeed destroyed because of the growing inner darkness of future people, and the earth has become a purgatory on earth.

And the weirdo who appeared in front of You Yu and others at this moment is Z-ONE, the last human on earth from the end of history.

If placed in a story with a doomsday background, Z-ONE should play the role of the savior. He has an extraordinary mind, a compassionate heart, and a consciousness of doing it at all costs.

He gave up his personality and body, and even his original name was lost in the long river of time. He once had a great dream, was full of passion and hope, and did not hesitate to share these with everyone around him.

He bravely stood up, was bruised and battered, climbed up from setbacks again and again, and supported his companions to move forward.

...But he failed.

He failed to save anyone. He lost his family, his friends, and everyone.

He became the last human left on Earth.

A failed savior.

Walking on the broken earth, standing at the end of time, all the debris and corpses in sight are silent mockery of the failed savior.

Dazhi is right, and Darkness is right. Humanity is destined to follow the old path of Atlantis. Generation after generation of duel kings continue to defeat the powerful enemies in front of them and save the world from crisis after crisis, but in the end they failed to save themselves from the hands of humanity.

So Z-ONE returned from the end of time.

A savior who tried his best but was powerless eventually became the final villain throughout the three games of Yu-Gi-Oh.

"......I guess you know Paradox." Youyu broke the silence.

Z-ONE, sitting in the steel device, spoke slowly. The voice coming from under the metal device seemed to have been mechanized, cold and full of metallic feeling, sounding like a machine.

"Paradox mentioned you... I'm really surprised that you could change his mind."

"It seems that you have communicated, and I guess it must not be very smooth." Yu Yu said.

Z-ONE did not answer this question, but instead said: "This venue has been locked by the 'Quantum Cube', and no one can get out of this dimension."

"......Give it back to me!" Lan Shen got up with difficulty, "That's our stuff..."

However, Z-ONE ignored him.

"You know the rules, Duel King." He said, "One duel, one condition."

But Kaiba took a step forward and blocked Yu Yu: "I don't know who you are, but your actions are extremely stupid! Before challenging Yu Yu, you must pass me first."

"No, Kaiba." Yugi did not back down either, "This duel should be done by me..."

However, Z-ONE interrupted them: "I don't have anything to do with you for the time being, Muto Yugi, Kaiba Seto. At least not now."

The sight under the steel-gray mask passed straight over the two and fell on Yu Yu.

"......Okay." Yu Yu thought briefly and did not refuse.

Kaiba narrowed his eyes, but still snorted and retreated.

However, Kaiba glanced at Youyu when he walked forward, and said with his arms folded: "Be careful. This guy... is not an ordinary guy."

Youyu did not look back: "Yeah, I know."

He knew that this moment would come, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

Youyu has been mentally prepared for this opponent in front of him, since he defeated Paradox and sent the blond handsome guy back to the future.

Z-ONE is not a person who gives up easily, nor is he the kind of second-rate villain who can be enlightened and repent with just a few words. To make him believe that the future does not have to be changed in the form of destruction, to make him believe that there is still hope, you must show actual proof, not just empty words.

Parts popped out from the front of the device worn by Z-ONE, and were pieced together to form a special duel plate style. The duel disk system was activated, the monster area was outlined by golden light in turn, and the electronic display showing LP also lit up.

But there is no card group in the slot.

Yu Yu clearly remembers that in the final battle of 5DS, Z-ONE and Fudo Yusei used a deck constructed with huge stone slabs to fight. That is a deck called "Time Machine God". Its power comes from the "Kabbalah Tree of Life". In the animation, it is a very difficult and powerful deck.

"Your deck..."

"As you know, I come from the future time and space." Z-ONE said, "My original deck cannot be used in this time and space due to some unresolved problems."

You Yu raised his eyebrows.

not available? So what are you going to do to fight me?

Poker cards?

"Instead, let me use this first."

Z-ONE said calmly and raised his hand...or should be the mechanical arm of the device on his body.

The quantum cube in mid-air suddenly stopped as if it was caught. Cards flew out from inside the cube one after another, forming a neat queue, like a dancer entering the dance floor with neat steps.

One after another, they landed firmly on the empty duel plate in front of Z-ONE, quickly completed the automatic shuffling, and then automatically flew out five cards from the top of the deck, floating on Z-ONE. In front of ONE.

"My deck!" Lan Shen shouted from the side.

"Okay, now I have a deck." Z-ONE said calmly, "Come on."

You Yu: "..."

This guy... is actually planning to use Fangjie to fight him?

"Duel!" x2

【You Yu, LP 4000】

【Z-ONE, LP 4000】

"I'm going to attack first and draw cards." This time it was You Yu who attacked first.

The first card I drew was the gift card from Mr. Phoenix. You Yu chose to use it without much hesitation.

"Magic card 'Take Over5'. Send the top five cards of the deck to the graveyard." (Animation card)

Five cards entered the graveyard one after another, and You Yu then drew the next card from his hand.

"Summon the 'Elemental Hero Liquid Man'!"

[Elemental Hero·Liquid Man, attack power 1400]

"The effect of Liquid Man, when the summoning is successful, it will special summon the heroes below level 4 in the graveyard. I special summon the 'Elemental Hero Flame Man'."

[Elemental Hero: Flame Man, defense power 1800]

"The effect of Flame Man, when summoned, adds the 'Fusion' magic card from the deck to the hand. I added the 'Replacement Fusion' magic card to the hand."

You Yu showed his magic card and inserted it directly into the duel disk.

"The magic card 'Replacement Fusion' fuses the 'Elemental Hero - Flame Man' on the field with the water-attributed 'Elemental Hero - Liquid Man'!

The fusion condition is that the elemental hero plus any water attribute monster. Fusion Summon!

Born from the extremely cold abyss, freezing everything with the absolute power of ice and snow——

——Elemental Hero·Absolute Zero! "
