Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 363 Who are you?
While this statement may be somewhat biased, based on Yu Ming's own personal experience, it is indeed true that the level of civilization's development can be seen from the structure of a city—at least that's how it should be in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

And now, what appeared before him was a city that could only be described as 'developed'.

Skyscrapers of all kinds stand like steel behemoths, casting dark shadows beneath the almost eternal night.

Under the neon lights, crowds still thronged, as if everyone was living their lives earnestly and diligently.

Although he still didn't know exactly where this place was, it should be an ordinary city with a very fast pace of life and a busy atmosphere—if he hadn't experienced what happened before, Yu Ming might really have thought so.

But now, after the invasion of "Multidimensional Beast - Radian", he just feels uncomfortable all over.

"So, the people here don't care about that matter at all?"

As his gaze shifted to the cracks and holes in the street, You Ming's brows furrowed involuntarily.

He even had a feeling that paying attention to these things made him feel like an outsider:
'boom'

A muffled thud was heard, and just as You Ming was subconsciously thinking, a not-so-strong force came from behind.

"what!"

He turned around at the familiar voice, only to see a boy, perhaps a few years younger than him, plop down on the ground.
"It hurts..."

Rubbing his jellyfish-like brown head, the boy stood up:
"Sorry, I'm a little excited because it's my first day of school."

"...Yuki Judai?"

Could it be that I only stayed in the Elf Realm for one day, but several years have passed in the real world, and it's already the start of GX?
Perhaps, she might even have replaced the scheming little sister's niche?

"Huh? You know me? Have we met before?"

Just as Youming began a brainstorming session, Jellyfish Head also started thinking.

Although he was generally considered to be not very bright when it came to everyday trifles, he ultimately possessed an excellent memory:

"Oh no, we've never met before... Ah! Are you a teacher at the school? What a coincidence, to run into someone outside like this."

Although the smile seemed exactly the same as in his memory, You Ming still sensed a strong sense of unease.

face?

No, it's not a problem with the face, but rather...

"hand……"

My gaze swept over the boy's left hand, but I didn't see the iconic object.

Where is your duel disk?

As an anime that truly depicts card games as the main theme and expands the concept of 'Dark Games', GX features many 'sudden' card games, which leads to one thing—the characters, especially the protagonist Jaden Yuki, almost never leave their Duel Disks.

but now……

What is the Duel Disk?

That sudden, genuine expression sent You Ming's heart sinking to its deepest depths.

"Oh no, I'm really going to be late—Teacher, let's talk at school, goodbye!!"

Then, the boy named Jaden Yuki, who had no idea what the 'Duel Disk' was, disappeared into the distance.

He still seemed sunny and cheerful, but his figure could never overlap with the hero in my memory.

"So this is a world where even the card-playing maniac, Yuki Judai, doesn't play cards anymore...?"

At that moment, You Ming felt as if the whole world was playing a huge joke on him.

"Fine, let's just assume they're people with the same name... or even the same appearance." Watching the boy's figure disappear into the crowd, You Ming finally sighed.

Thinking about it carefully, that guy not only didn't have the aura of the Sorrowful Dragon, but his power also seemed incredibly weak, and the so-called 'Dimensional Unification' Overlord's power was nowhere to be seen.

Putting aside the 'protagonist filter,' he seems to be just an ordinary passerby who would be easily lost in a crowd.

More importantly, he doesn't seem to have any attitude towards the previously appeared "New Universe Knight".

And in this world, the person connected to the previous "New Universe Knight" is...

"Tsk."

Following the faint scent, You Ming turned and entered a deserted alley.

Deep in that corner, a man was lying on the floor.

His aged body was hunched over, and his gray hair seemed to tell the story of the injustice of time, but the muscles and scars on his body still told a story of an unforgettable history—but unfortunately, Youming was unaware of these things.

To be precise, he couldn't find any information about the old man in his memory at all—he wasn't a character from an anime, nor was he a card.

However, he must have some extraordinary abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen as this guy's 'human form'.

"Thank you so much."

As if finally gaining enough power to maintain consciousness, a cloud of mist appeared above the still unconscious old man's body.

Then, a silver phantom appeared – "Neuromancer"!
If it were a GX anime, this would be a hero drawn by the protagonist, Jaden Yuki, and formed by receiving cosmic fluctuations; it would also be a symbol of his soul.

Meanwhile, in terms of background, they belong to the righteous force of 'Darkness of the Universe' along with the "New Space Heroes," which is a reference to the neighboring Land of Light and also implies the existence of multiple entities.

But this thing was mentioned once and then never heard from again. In addition, the anime's plot was really fragmented. It can only be said that unless you specifically recall it, the background of GX's cards is not as well-known as DM or 5DS.

"So, although the person involved is still unconscious, can you tell me what the current situation is?"

The silver phantom trembled.

Although it seemed like they wanted to say something, in the end only a sigh echoed:
"It's still...the same old story. People are still busy, but they have succumbed to fear. No matter how hard we try, they seem to have lost the courage to resist."

"I see... what a joke."

Upon hearing Xinyuxia's helpless voice, Youming felt a chill run down his spine.

"Perhaps I haven't explained myself clearly, Mr. Xinyuxia—I know nothing about this place, not even what happened."

Looking at the silver face that clearly couldn't change anything but showed a blank expression, You Ming simply gave an awkward yet polite smile:
"You might not believe it, but I've also saved the world. To resolve a crisis in my original world, I traveled to other worlds to confront the source of darkness. When I returned, I found that... the world seemed different from what I remembered..."

"So, what is the world like in your memory?"

Before You Ming could finish speaking, a weak voice came through.

The old man woke up.

Before You Ming could respond, the frail old man, who had just awakened, simply stood up unsteadily:

Tell me, young man, what is the world like in your memory?

"calm down……"

"tell me!!"
