Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Still reeling from his previous stunned state, the android Soga raised his head in the direction Yusei was pointing and witnessed a breathtaking scene that he would never forget.

A gigantic life form, beyond description, charged straight towards its location from beyond the heavens…

Because of the great distance, from its perspective, it only sees a black dot with circular features, but this does not prevent it from feeling despair and fear.

Even from a great distance, the android Soga was utterly shocked by the energy fluctuations of the extraterrestrial life form.

"Impossible...impossible...how could this happen..."

"I don't believe it... I absolutely refuse to admit that such a thing happened..."

"As the ultimate android... someone who embodies countless scientific achievements, I actually experience such intense fear..."

The pupils behind the protective goggles began to dilate involuntarily. The android Soga, who had raised his head to stare at the meteorite, stood frozen in place as if he had been immobilized...

It is now clearly a supreme being that has been sublimated after being over-summoned.

Even so, it still couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance against the "natural disaster life form" before it...

Incompetent, powerless, helpless...

Unable to resist... they could only obediently wait to die...

……

"Holy crap! What is that thing?!"

"This...this...such a huge meteorite...no! It's a comet! A fallen comet!"

"It's going to fall! It's going to fall this way!!!"

The people behind Yusei each reacted differently.

"Oh...isn't this a bit of an exaggeration...?"

Even Yusei, who had placed the [Primal Life Form Nibiru] on the Duel Disk, looked towards the sky in surprise.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Dark Duel, the duel footage, which should have only appeared in a small area, spread to a much farther place.

In the utter silence of the night, not only the few people at the island's power generation facility, but also people elsewhere on the island, and even at the Seahorse Park on the mainland, could clearly see this apocalyptic scene...

“Nibiru…”

In the top-floor chairman's office of Haima Entertainment Group, a silver-haired girl in spirit form, guarding a certain man, gazed outwards through a wall made of bulletproof glass.

With her long silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, the floating spirit girl turned around, gently stretched out her arm, and lightly patted the cheek of a man who was lying on the desk in a light sleep.

The man, dressed in a white trench coat, whose face exuded domineering arrogance, had his brows furrowed even in his sleep.

"Damn mediocre talent... I'll show you how foolish it is to challenge me..." The man, awakened by the girl's gentle movements, slowly opened his sharp eyes, muttering unconsciously.

"Hmm... Which blind fool dares to interrupt my duel..."

The man, who was about to get angry after being woken up from his sleep, immediately gave up his anger when he saw the silver-haired girl beside him with her clear and bright eyes watching him quietly.

He's a fearless and unruly man, but he can't bring himself to do anything too defiant towards the silver-haired girl who's always been by his side...

Haima Entertainment Group Chairman – Seto Haima

Kisara, the spirit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, or perhaps its reincarnation.

At that moment, only the two of them were in the office.

"This is……?!"

Looking out at the nightmarish scene as if it were daytime, Seto Kaiba, awakened from his light sleep and sensing the intense energy fluctuations, stood up from his desk and walked to the wall made of transparent glass.

"Kisara...did you feel it too? The aura of the Duel Monster contained in that meteorite...it's an energy fluctuation that's even stronger than the Egyptian Gods...or even the Great Evil God..."

Awakened by Kisara, Seto Kaiba immediately spotted the enormous meteorite that had come from outer space and was about to fall to Earth.

“Nibiru…that meteorite…was a monster summoned by someone…”

The girl's ethereal voice echoed in Seto Kaiba's ears, and a strong light immediately shone in his eyes.

"Heh... If it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost missed such an interesting scene!"

Turning to the silver-haired girl floating beside him in her spirit form, Seto Kaiba expressed his heartfelt gratitude before turning his gaze back to the meteorite that was falling steadily from the sky.

240 That day, it turned into light (4K)

"Nibiru" is a deity in Mesopotamian mythology whose name means "ferry".

In Mesopotamian mythology, Nibiru and the earth goddess Diammam were considered planets by American folk scientist Zechariah Sitchin, leading to the Nibiru collision dystopia, which posits that Earth (Diammam) will collide with a large, hypothetical planet Nibiru.

This meteorite impact myth is somewhat similar to the catastrophe that wiped out the age of dinosaurs.

A meteorite from outer space collided with Earth at the time, directly turning the last Mesozoic era—the Cretaceous period—into the Ice Age.

Climate change has led to the Earth's surface being covered by ice sheets...

This disaster directly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, the dominant species on Earth, as well as the decline of other life forms.

It was precisely because of this natural disaster that humans, who appeared later, had the opportunity to reproduce and survive...

In Konami's setting, Nibiru is considered to be the 11th planet outside of Pluto (the top 10 are the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto). Therefore, the level of the [original life form Nibiru] is set as 11 stars.

Although Pluto was expelled from the solar system as early as 06 because its trajectory differed from the other eight planets and its orbit was not on the ecliptic plane, thus failing to meet the characteristics of a planet, GX is an animation from 04. Therefore, in a true historical context, Pluto was still considered part of the solar system at that time.

Of course, these are just settings; there will definitely be some differences when applied to reality.

It's impossible for me to summon this monster and just destroy the world, right...?

This might be possible in the Spirit World, but this is the real world... Participating in a duel using an image generated by the Duel Disk is like a god descending to the human world through a representative. Even if the real person has the power to destroy the world, their power will be forcibly restricted due to various limitations.

For example, [Tian Ting Hao A Zeus] is currently the strongest Tier 12 XYZ (Super Explosive) Monster, and in its lore, it is given the title of "the ultimate weapon for killing gods".

Its very existence is to combat the greatest threat to humanity, and it was created as the twelfth God-Slaying Spear!

Its power is just as its name "Heavenly Thunder" suggests; it is enough to scorch the sky, shatter planets, and slay gods...

Humanity, which had been on the verge of extinction several times, finally obtained the [Counterattack Weapon AA-ZEUS] in its final desperate situation, a weapon to defy fate and destroy everything. With this ultimate and final blow, humanity was finally able to completely eliminate the source of the disaster...

If we're talking about cards that could destroy the world by playing cards, then besides Meteorite Man – [Primal Life Form Nibiru], we can't forget the God-Slaying Spear – [Skybreaker Azeus].

If things were to proceed according to the established rules, these two monsters alone, the moment they were summoned, could wipe out Mother Earth, who has suffered so many calamities...

If that's really going to happen, then there's no point in playing cards anymore, just start fighting! Pull out a meteorite, take everyone down with you, and we'll all be wiped out...

……

"Planet Nibiru... if it turns into a monster, it's a meteorite, right?"

As he gazed at the trajectory of the meteorite falling from the sky, Seto Kaiba couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

From his position, he could see the meteorite falling from the sky and the long trail it created by the intense friction between the meteorite and the air.

"Interesting! This is really interesting!"

With a rare look of interest on his face, Seto Kaiba waved the hem of his white trench coat behind him. "Hmph ↑↓ The direction the meteorite hit... isn't that the island where Duel Academy is located?"

"Hahahaha... Looks like I'll have to make time to go check it out sometime soon!" Accompanied by Seto Kaiba's mesmerizing laughter, the background music automatically echoed in the room.

"Well……"

The silver-haired girl next to Seto Kaiba, Kisara, seemed to be used to this scene. She simply tilted her head and silently watched the man next to her laughing loudly at the sky.

……

Following that, Seto Kaiba, chairman of Kaiba Entertainment Group, had a constructive and friendly meeting with Pegasus J. Crawford, chairman of International Mirage and the father of the "Duel Monsters" cards.

After a cordial, friendly, and frank conversation, both sides respected each other's ideas and reached a consensus.

Following the meeting, Haima Automobile issued a statement, with the chairman personally taking responsibility for the "anomaly" incident. International Illusion Society also stated that it was involved in the incident.

It is said that the unusual meteorite phenomenon that occurred that night was due to a new stereoscopic imaging technology they were researching and developing...

While everyone had their own ideas about this explanation, they had no choice but to abandon their plans to cause trouble under the influence of the two giants.

As for the media, needless to say... even if you offend the mayor of Domino City, never offend Kaiba Corporation, which is located here...

Unless, you're not planning to be human anymore...

In this world where playing cards is the main activity, you've offended both the father of card games and the founder of dueling videos. Without any special aura, do you really think you can get away with it?

They don't even need to lift a finger; the spittle from the people around you alone could drown you...

And so, without Yusei's knowledge, the omnipotent Kaiba Ultraman had already eliminated a potential threat for him.

In the future, if a similar situation arises, you can apply this template.

As for Haima's so-called "responsibility," it doesn't mean compensating for economic losses or anything like that; rather, it's a domineering declaration of power.

The gist is—this matter is related to our company, and we can take responsibility for it. We won't pay any compensation; if you're planning to use this as an excuse to attack us, feel free to try…

However, at that time, don't blame us for torturing you to death!

If Yusei knew about this, he would definitely have given a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Kaiba Man, my Superman!"

……

Let's rewind to the night of the duel between Yusei and the android Soga.

The perspective shifts back to the island where the Duel Academy is located.

Yusei explained the monster effect of [Primal Life Form Nibiru] and slammed this 11-star monster onto the Duel Disk.

Shocked by the appearance of the meteorite, and then locked in place by the aura of the Meteorite Man, the android Soga finally began to panic.

"Ughhhhhh!!! Quick-Play Spell Card [Immortal Special Alloy] activated!" With a desperate, incoherent scream, Android Soga struggled to raise his arm and activate the face-down card that had been lying in wait in the back row.

This quick-attack spell card, which it had been using as its trump card from the very beginning and had been lying in wait on the field, was finally used at this critical moment of life and death...

"Oh? You still have the strength to resist?"

Seeing the android Soga fighting back despite the pressure of the meteorite, Yusei couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't kneel down and beg for mercy, nor did he weep bitterly; instead, he rose up in resistance... This kind of behavior makes him a qualified villain.

"Based on the effect of [Immortal Special Alloy], when I have [Android - Psychic Shocker] on my field, I can choose 1 of the following effects to activate."

●All Machine-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by your opponent's effects until the end of the turn.

●This effect can only be activated when the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster that targets a Machine-Type monster on your field is activated. Negate that effect.
