It was as if something was writhing beneath a person's skin, uttering inhuman murmurs even though no one was speaking, as if something unknown lay beneath the skin, ready to tear away the disguise and reveal its evil and hideous face. The suffocating atmosphere also brought a terrifying sense of oppression to the mind.

Chang Yan, who had turned his back, slowly turned his head. Half of a pale, skeletal demon mask had appeared on his face, and the area covered by the mask was slowly expanding, as if it were alive.

"My sorrow is almost gone..."

He has begun to return to his place.

His black robe began to sway unnaturally, for he belonged to the destruction of another future, not this one.

The existence known as "common sense" is being eroded little by little by "Darkness"...

ZONE's death opened a valve, causing the other party's level of corruption to jump directly from 10 to 90.

"To be honest, I'm exhausted after all this work. All I need to do now is close my eyes and take a nap..."

He is not himself. If it were the common sense of today, he would never accept it like this, but the other party is obviously indifferent to this matter.

"But I feel there's one more thing I must do in these final moments—"

Wearing a half-mask, Chang Yan looked at this different "self," raised his arm slightly, and a duel disk appeared directly on his arm.

"Help them fulfill their long-cherished wish—to save the future."

The embodiment of humanity's doomed future, now determined to save it!

It's a traditional skill, you have to play cards no matter what...

"Is that so? Perfect, then I have a reason not to let you go."

With a cold laugh, Chang Yan flicked his arm, and the Duel Disk popped out, activating immediately.

"Then I'll also undergo my long-awaited transformation—Darkness!"

As the saying goes, one summons one's own spirit (stand-in), which then embraces from behind and transforms into a thick, dark rain.

A black robe and a skeletal demon mask covering half his face appeared on him simultaneously, the two now so similar. The only difference was the position of the mask.

The next moment, both of them moved simultaneously!

“DUEL————!!!”

Darkness LP: 4000

Score: 6

Common saying: The Dark Savior LP: 4000

Score: 1

Meanwhile, in the upside-down city in the sky, with a large chunk missing from its chest, Paradox, disguised as a commoner, arrived at a place and skillfully began to operate.

The Infinite system connects different eras and is the system that Taiyi uses to rewrite history.

Although this timeline was directly disrupted by the three emperors, there is a ready-made one here.

"Faster, faster—"

He muttered to himself like this while looking at a card in his hand—

Quick-attack spell [Super Fusion]

That was the strongest card, capable of turning the tide of battle, but it was now in his hands.

As long as he finds a fragment of that future, even if it's just a phantom, a simple stream of information, he can use the power of this card to forcibly merge that phantom network with the future of this world, thereby creating a completely new future.

That all-encompassing triple network—only that can save humanity's future!

Chapter 676 Turning a False Future into a Real Path

"[Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon]'s effect: banish your hand."

The game started exactly the same as before, but an unexpected event occurred after the first Trident of the Frozen World appeared.

"【Shiranui no Miyaji】effect activated — If this card is banished, you can target 1 face-up card on your opponent's field; destroy that card."

"Haa!"

The priest who was offering sacrifices to the demon sword picked up his katana and descended from the sky, his sharp, wind-swept slash severing the trident dragon's proud head.

Although in a real-life PvP battle, the Trident could easily take hundreds of hits from the opponent without any problem, unfortunately, that's just the rule.

"Open the face card, Perpetual Magic [Perpetual Fire Cannon] ————"

The enemy was clearly prepared, and fired the second round of the Perpetual Fire Cannon.

"I've been waiting for you! The effect of the Trap Card [Typhoon] in my hand is activated!"

Wearing a half-mask, Changyan fiercely slapped down a card. Although I didn't draw any cards with the "Bully" trait like "Yashiki-warashi," "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring," "DD Raven," or "Ghost Rabbit," this card is still enough to give you a hard time!

"If your opponent controls 2 or more Spell/Trap Cards, and you control none, you can activate this card from your hand. You can target 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that card!"

"Destroy the [Perpetual Fire Cannon]!"

This card, Cyclone, is a Trap Card that can be activated from the hand at Speed ​​2, and it has many limitations. However, back when Sky Striker was all the rage, some people would still put it in their side decks to give Sky Striker players a surprise.

The opponent is an Infinite Fire, so the Spell Trap in hand will definitely be applied. And since the Infinite Fire Cannon is continuous, it is the best target for Typhoon.

The howling typhoon tore the cannon barrel apart; how are you telling me to defend against this kind of bug? (Red restart actually restricted it.)

"Activate the third [Eternal Fire Cannon]!"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Chang Yan almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He didn't believe the opponent wasn't cheating. If he didn't have the Palace Master or Typhoon cards, the card the opponent would pull out at this moment would definitely be [Synchro Release]!

The duel continued in full swing, and on Sky Castle, Jaden Yuki held the Duel Cross across his chest, commanding his new Spaceman to take down robots with a single punch.

"Uncle, are you done yet? There are way too many of these!"

Although the place is deserted, it doesn't mean that such a large facility is without security measures.

Previously, Yusei Fudo was sent over by ZONE, but now two people who are not on the visitor list have naturally become clear targets.

Meanwhile, the security control room was at the other end of the facility. Paradox, having lost his previous body and facing the problem of password updates after so long, could only rely on a lucky fighter to help him hold off the robots.

"I want to be fast too, but do you know how much luck it takes to select the one I need from countless streams of information? And don't forget, I'm using a body split off from the BOSS right now. Don't you know how bad his luck is?!"

Paradox said irritably, "The odds of getting five SSR/high-star characters in a single ten-pull in a mobile game are even lower, not to mention this is what's commonly known as 'physical...'"

"...How about I give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Jaden Yuki pondered for a few seconds and then came up with this idea.

He was somewhat confident in his luck.

"Okay, just click on this one."

Paradox, or rather Hope, raised an eyebrow and gave up his seat.

"Well......."

Watching the data characters flash by on the screen and at least a hundred buttons on the control panel, Jaden Yuki took a deep breath and adopted the same mindset he had when he was trying to win the Golden Bread lottery.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Looking at Hope reciting his lines without any reaction, I thought, "Are you trying to draw cards? The probability is much lower than starting a 60-card deck with 5 sealed Exodia parts. If you can get it in one pull, I'll eat your Duel Disk."

One second after Yuki Jaden pressed the button, the data characters flowing across the screen suddenly stopped, and a line of green text appeared.

"Target found"

"—This is hope!!!"

Upon seeing that line of green text, Hope's expression vanished instantly. Filled with immense excitement and fervor, he pushed Jaden Yuki aside, his fingers flicking across the keyboard like phantoms, resembling a fanatical believer who had seen a god.

He completely forgot what he had just said. If he could kill someone in one shot, he could eat not only a Duel Disk, but the entire Tongye City.

"Hahahaha, that's it, that's it! The future is saved! True salvation is coming! Kid, hand over your card!"

Hope let out a piercing laugh, then took out the strongest card covered in cracks from his pocket, while Jaden Yuki also took out a card with the exact same name from his pocket and handed it to him.

"World, humanity, future, let us rejoice at this moment—"

"Humanity's ultimate salvation has arrived at this moment!!!"

The Infinite system in front of him began to operate, and Hope, trembling, raised the card and activated this forbidden card.

"Unleash your full power now, and let humanity transcend that inevitable doom!"

As previously reported, the Hyper-Polymer was on the verge of collapse, and at this moment, Hope treated these two cards as disposable items, fully activating Hyper-Polymer.

The surging forbidden power erupted twice at this moment, but the cries of sorrow from the world were drowned out by the even greater roar of the waves. The ultimate power of transcendence tore through reality and illusion, and the accompanying aftershocks tore Hope's body apart.

"Uncle, you—"

Seeing the flesh and blood disintegrating into pieces, Yuki Judai was stunned. The hand that tried to help was slapped aside by the other's only remaining hand.

"When I dropped the name Paradox and adopted this one, I was prepared to accept it as punishment for a traitor..."

He gave a bitter smile, stood up shakily, and looked ahead.

He said he was willing to give up everything to save the future, but when he saw ZONE disappear into the light, he still felt a deep sorrow from the bottom of his soul.

His atonement is to fulfill their shared ideal, their shared obsession—to save the future...

He stood up with a resolute expression, grabbed the two cards, and leaped into the forbidden vortex and the overlapping area where the Infinite system operated.

"The future, let it be covered by falsehood right now..."

Before his body was completely annihilated by boundless light and darkness, Hope made a forbidden wish.

"Hyper-convergence, futuristic style—!"

The two cards in his arms burst open, and he lost his body and his name. The person with only obsession was thus destroyed by reality. In the end, only a sentence disappeared into the air.

Let the false future become the real path...

Hope, death.

Chapter 677 The Savior of Steel

Speaking of which, I also think I need to upgrade my computer. I took a look, and the 2077 can't run it at all, unless I set the graphics to the lowest settings...

I might as well just watch videos and play through the game online. Speaking of which, once people have money, they just want to buy everything. For example, right now I want to buy a Switch or a PS5, but I also want to just get a better computer. So conflicted!

----------

A dazzling light, tearing through reality, burst forth from the upside-down city in the sky, just as described in the novel, filling the sky with wondrous light and color, like the might of a holy spirit, whose brilliance could rival that of a thousand suns.
