Chapter 1028: The Wrong Era
Chapter 1028: The Wrong Era
"Sin Cyber End Dragon, attack!"
A roar of machinery and metal accompanied the pitch-black lightning that surged from the mechanical dragon's mouth. The plasma merged with the black flames, erupting in an unstoppable torrent that swept away the covered card, revealing its form.
[Marshmallow, Defense: 500]
"Whoa, starting with such a powerful monster already?"
Marshmallow shouted loudly.
"Who can handle this!?"
Of course, this wasn't the Golden Cabinet of Light version of "Marshmallow" that Youxuan used against Yeshen. Instead, it was the original version that Wu Tong Yu Gi used in DM. However, the Marshmallow spirit in the card was the same one from back then.
Just like Atlum's Black Mage and President's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the spirit changed forms repeatedly, constantly upgrading, Synchroing, and transforming into new shapes. Despite the various forms piling up enough to form a separate deck, the spirits in the deck were all the same one.
The same applied to Youxuan's Marshmallow. By the GX era, the original Marshmallow wasn't a particularly rare card anymore, and it had even been used by extras in the anime. Now that Youxuan had a Marshmallow spirit, he decided to add the original version to his deck.
"Marshmallow can't be destroyed by battle!"
Youxuan raised his arm to shield himself from the energy storm sweeping through the tiny body of Marshmallow.
"Hmph, but battle damage still needs to be calculated", Paradox sneered, a dangerous smile spreading across his lips. "And Sin Cyber End Dragon has the original Cyber End Dragon's ability.
When attacking a Defense Position monster, if the Attack Power exceeds the Defense, it deals piercing damage for the difference!"
Marshmallow's Defense was a mere 500, while Sin Cyber End Dragon's Attack Power was a staggering 4000!
Even though Marshmallow was known as an invincible shield, its invincibility only applied to itself. The piercing damage was too overwhelming, and the terrifying energy blast instantly pierced through Marshmallow, slamming into Youxuan.
Youxuan staggered back a few steps, his body almost toppled by the violent energy storm.
[Youxuan, LP 4000 → LP 500]
"Youxuan!"
Keihei couldn't help but shout in concern through the earpiece.
A massive 3500 points of damage in one hit, and from the feedback on the Duel Disk, it seemed to be far beyond the normal level of a Duel, reaching the intensity of a Darkness Yu Gi Duel!
Keihei quickly discovered that the source of this anomaly was likely the field "Sin World", which seemed to amplify the damage.
This was a field with extraordinary power!
Additionally, there was the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The moment the opponent summoned Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Keihei's entire control room erupted in chaos.
How could this person have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!?
Was it a fake card like the ones used by Marik's Grus in the past?
But now they realized it wasn't. The opponent was using a variant of the monster with the "Sin" prefix, but the summoned spirits appeared to be genuine!
Even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon seemed to be a real spirit!
This was truly bizarre.
Could it be because of the alternate world?
"It's fine", Youxuan replied calmly.
He had known that the damage in Sin World was real, so he wasn't surprised. This was different from traditional Darkness Duels. Paradox was a villain from the third series, "Yu Gi Oh! 5D's", where the antagonists shifted from the mystical to the technological.
The antagonists of this story come from a shattered future, possessing technology far beyond our time. They can forcibly bind spirits using technology, make spirits materialize in the real world just like Jou and his companions, traverse time and space, alter history, and even achieve the same effects as the Darkness Duel.
The "Sin World" deck, and indeed the entire Sin deck, is a groundbreaking creation based on these advanced future technologies.
Marshmallow looked at Youxuan with drooping eyes, feeling a bit guilty. "Sorry, my defense is too low."
But Youxuan just smiled. "No, this is exactly what I wanted."
He raised his head and said, "Although you attacked Marshmallow directly, don't forget its effect." With a wave of his hand, he continued, "When Marshmallow is attacked in defense position, it deals 1000 points of damage to the opponent after the damage calculation!"
Marshmallow immediately gathered its strength, as if determined to avenge its earlier failure to protect its master. Its soft body stiffened, and a burst of energy shot out, rebounding directly at Paradox and exploding in his face.
[Paradox, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
Paradox staggered but soon sneered disdainfully.
"Such a weak counterattack. It seems the so-called king of this era is nothing much."
"Attacking Marshmallow in defense mode is meaningless. I'll skip the attack phase for 'Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon.'"
He covered two cards and declared the end of his turn.
But Youxuan smiled. "Don't be too hasty with your words."
In the End Phase, he activated a covered card.
"Trap Card, 'Rainbow of Life'!"
A seven-colored rainbow appeared above his head. Youxuan sent a card from his hand to the Graveyard, and the floating rainbow began to shower him with star-like light, recharging his body.
"Rainbow of Life restores my Life Points to the value they were at the start of the turn", Youxuan explained, "and then adds the total damage I took during this turn to that amount."
Paradox's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"My Life Points were 4000 at the start of this turn, so I restore them to 4000", Youxuan continued. "The 'Sin Cyber End Dragon' dealt me 3500 points of direct damage, so I also restore 3500 Life Points."
"My Life Points are now restored to 7500!"
[Youxuan, LP 500 → LP 4000 → LP 7500]
"I see", Paradox frowned. "Even in the wrong era, a Duelist with the title of 'king' is not so easily defeated."
"You've been talking in riddles since the beginning", Youxuan said. "Care to elaborate? What do you mean by 'wrong era'?"
"And what did you mean by 'things are in chaos'?"
Paradox met his gaze coldly for a moment before closing his eyes and speaking casually.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. The chaos refers to the history of Duel Monsters and human development."
"The wrong era is the time I am in now, and the time you are in."
He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as he looked at Youxuan.
"For example, you, Youxuan Fujiki. You are a Duelist who should not exist in this timeline."
