Chapter 815: Lost Information
"So," You Xuan took the tablet from the researcher who had just emerged from the laboratory, swiped the screen, and glanced at the data from the experimental tests.
"Can you tell what kind of spirit this is?"
"Sorry, the data we've obtained from the tests is very limited so far." The researcher expressed regret.
"We've tried all the conventional tests, but it seems the information on this card is either deeply hidden or, perhaps, completely lost."
"Completely lost?" You Xuan looked at the blank card with a puzzled expression.
"It seems... hard to argue against that."
(Chapter Break)
"Indeed, there is such a case."
The Radiant Nova, Azure Dragon Eye, had the ability to sacrifice itself to destroy any card on the field.
Moreover, after the effect text was manifested, it was discovered that the monster's effect was also much weaker than before.
"Without a card name or information, it can't be used in a duel. For a monster that can't even make it to the battlefield, isn't it just useless?"
"Have you encountered similar situations on other cards before?" asked You Xuan.
Gui Ping was also stunned for a moment before suddenly reacting, "You mean the Azure Dragon Eye?"
"Ah, right. While it's not exactly the same situation, there have been similar cases. And it's also related to our CEO's..."
Originally, the Azure Dragon Eye had the ability to 'freely choose whether to accept the effect of a card,' but this time, the recreated card lacks such resistance, and instead, has the effect of 'invalidating the activation of effects targeting this card.'
However, after furrowing his brows for a moment, a light bulb seemed to go off in his mind.
"After that, CEO Kaiba tried various methods to bring back the sacrificed Azure Dragon Eye," the researcher explained. "The deeper we researched, the more our team became convinced that the Azure Dragon Eye had been completely sacrificed.
Here, 'sacrificed' doesn't just refer to the 'sacrifice' in a duel; it means the monster's soul was truly sacrificed.
You Xuan nodded without interrupting. This was a story he was familiar with, from the DM movie, "The Light of the Pyramid."
"This... is indeed a very rare situation. It seems there's no other case like this."
After all, in the animation, "The Light of the Pyramid" was a divine trap that could even exile the Three Legendary Dragons, and Yugi's conventional methods to destroy it were futile.
"After that, CEO Kaiba and Katsuya Touji engaged in a great battle. But during the fight, to destroy 'The Light of the Pyramid' and the evil power within it, the Azure Dragon Eye was sacrificed," the researcher continued.
"Just an empty shell?" You Xuan asked.
The researcher nodded.
In the next second, his proud expression turned dejected.
"But it's just an empty shell without a soul. What's there to be happy about?"
"That time, my brother obtained two cards from Bercas. One of them wasn't created by Bercas himself, but was secretly placed by an ancient evil force as a card targeting the Three Legendary Dragons, 'The Light of the Pyramid.'"
"It turned out he was right?" You Xuan asked, as he already knew the outcome. In the final battle of Duel City, Yugi Muto once again played the Azure Dragon Eye, which had long disappeared, against him. So, You Xuan was already spoiled that Kaiba had succeeded.
"Now that I think about it, the state of the recreated Azure Dragon Eye card is somewhat similar to this spirit's state; the card's information has been lost."
He paused and glanced at the card in You Xuan's hand.
"So, the Azure Dragon Eye didn't have the ability to shine as a new star?"
"He paused, mimicking Seto Kaiba's tone.
"Huh? How do you know that?" the researcher was surprised.
"Yes. Because after that, Seto Kaiba CEO went to the Spirit Dimension with the Azure Dragon Eye card."
You Xuan: ". . ."
The eye on the card art smirked: "So, I was definitely a formidable monster back then!"
But this time, the circumstances surrounding this Spirit are far more serious than before. We've only uncovered a small amount of information so far.
You Xuan: ". . ."
"Yes. Because it's a monster comparable to the Legendary Dragons, our team spent an unimaginable amount of money and resource-intensive cost trying to recreate it."
"Oh?" You Xuan was surprised. "Kaiba CEO?"
But You Xuan didn't mind and spoke frankly in front of the person involved.
The researcher pushed up his glasses and said, "In other words, it became useless?"
After the Pyramid disappeared, Yugi was able to summon his signature Three Legendary Dragons, sealing the victory.
The eye showed anger, but it quickly wilted after a few seconds of rage.
Gui Ping nodded.
"The subsequent field tests also proved that the CEO was right. We only recreated a card that looked like the Azure Dragon Eye, but it was no longer as powerful as it used to be. This card doesn't have the pressure to be mentioned alongside the Legendary Dragons; it's just an ordinary monster card.
"We once thought we had succeeded. We recreated the Azure Dragon Eye card, identical to the one CEO obtained from Bercas. The lab was already cheering and celebrating, but Kaiba CEO quickly poured cold water on our excitement."
You Xuan didn't say anything and silently put away the card.
"Oh, right, you said you had something important to discuss with me today?"
Well, the castrated card is undoubtedly gone.
The former CEO, in his quest to defeat his arch-rival Katsuya Touji and the power of the Three Legendary Dragons, sought out Bercas, the founder of International Fantasy Corporation, to find a power beyond the Legendary Dragons.
In the end, the Azure Dragon Eye burned its soul, sacrificing its existence to activate the ultimate ability 'Radiant Nova', and in a climactic exchange, it and the Light Pyramid annihilated each other.
The researcher frowned, stroking his chin as he struggled to recall for a while.
But then, the researcher said, "Currently, the only thing we can confirm is that the original attack power of this card should be 0."
The eye suddenly appeared in the empty card art, looking furious: "Hey! I'm listening!"
The other card was designed by Bercas himself and called the ultimate Azure Dragon Eye, 'Azure Dragon Eye'."
"Yes. That was many years ago."
"What?! Impossible, it must be a mistake in your instruments!" it protested, "Impossible!"
With the monster's Spirit sacrificed and the card turned to ashes, it's impossible to bring it back. But Kaiba CEO disagreed. He firmly believed that the Dragon Eye was still somewhere, just sleeping, waiting for him to awaken it."
"But when I faced him, the CEO's Azure Dragon Eye had already recovered its prime state." You Xuan said.

You Xuan put away the card and looked at Gui Ping.
"Oh, yes. International Fantasy Corporation has a project and specifically requested you."
Gui Ping paused and then spoke mysteriously.
"You Xuan, have you heard of the Treasure Beasts?"
