The two sides shook hands and reached a temporary agreement.

After a while, a family of three drove over in a packed jeep. When they saw Youzhi, they didn't show any curiosity. They just thought he was a companion of Budong Youxing and didn't ask any questions - the survivors of this era were mostly cautious.

Considering that the Three Phantom Demons could easily leave a bad impression on people, You Zhi chose to use normal means of transportation. There were plenty of them on the roadside anyway, so he just found a motorcycle and used his spiritual power to forcefully start the engine.

On the way, I don't know if it was because of his personality or because he was impressed by Youzhi's strength and wanted to win him over, but Fudo Youxing took the initiative to introduce his background.

This world has invented the Eternal Machine and a kind of "wandering particles" that can understand human emotions. Using the wandering particles as a medium, the operation of the Eternal Machine can be accelerated through riding duels to provide more energy. Therefore, governments of various countries have formulated many policies to strongly support riding duels.

The inexhaustible supply of energy has allowed human civilization to evolve rapidly. However, humans are obsessed with material satisfaction and ignore spiritual progress, which has led to the rapid growth of negative thoughts such as greed and getting something for nothing. At the same time, due to excessive use of riding duels, the speed of the perpetual machine is getting closer and closer to its limit.

In the end, under the double blow of overload operation and human's decadent thoughts, the wandering particles gradually lost their minds and believed that human beings would go on the road of destruction because of negative emotions. So they controlled the Eternal Turning Machine to rotate in reverse and summoned a large number of Mechanical Emperor Soldiers to destroy all carriers of negative emotions - human beings.

"Why do I feel like I've heard a similar version not long ago..."

Youzhi was speechless. Can't the screenwriter of Yu-Gi-Oh come up with some new things?

Isn't this just a rehash of the Olihagang plot? Just making a few minor changes and using it as the setting for the third generation is so disingenuous!

"The other side wants to destroy you. You can't just sit there and wait for death, right? Are you not resisting?"

"The vast majority of humans had long since grown accustomed to a comfortable life, powerless to resist. Furthermore, the reverse-rotating Eternal Machine continuously released negative energy, driving the elves into a frenzy and refusing to obey orders. The duelists quickly lost their fighting ability. In the blink of an eye, cities were reduced to ruins, mountains and rivers were reduced to scorched earth, and civilization was in imminent danger."

Speaking of this, Fudo Yusei showed a sad expression, obviously having lost many important people during this period.

But he soon cheered up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Fortunately, I finally found a way to save it... As long as everyone practices the Heart of Clear Mirror and Still Water, the Eternal Transformation Machine can be restored to normal."

(The host: I don't know how the economy will recover after the opening up, but I've decided not to travel or dine out for the next three years. I'll save as much as I can, and I'll leave the responsibility of stimulating consumption to the bigwigs above.)

Chapter 232: Clear Mirror and Still Water

After arriving at the shelter with Fudo Yusei, Yuzhi met the former Ice King Kona as he wished.

Kona has orange-red hair, wears glasses, a white-collared short skirt, and high heels, exuding the aura of an intellectual queen.

The two sides had no contact before, but after being in a different world, they became fellow countrymen and naturally felt a sense of intimacy.

"Mr. Adu entered the space-time vortex with me, but I don't know where he was teleported to. I think with his strength, he won't be in any danger." You Zhi said.

"There's certainly no danger in the short term, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long term. We still have to find him as soon as possible."

Kona explained with a serious expression, "Perhaps it's because the Eternal Transformation Machine continuously releases negative energy. If a spirit absorbs spiritual energy in this world, it will go crazy. I didn't know this when I first entered this world. I fought a series of battles to gather intelligence on the enemy. By the time I discovered the hidden danger, most of the main spirits had already lost control."

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she naturally has many powerful elves under her command, but there are only a few main elves, and there is a gap between her and other elves. After most of them were destroyed, the overall strength was greatly reduced.

Yu Zhi asked back, "Didn't they say that it could be stopped by the Mingjing Shishui Heart?"

"That's right, but it can only prevent the spirits from being contaminated, and it can't restore the spirits that have already been contaminated. So before you master the Heart of Clear Mirror and Still Water, try not to use your main spirits."

"I understand."

In the following days, You Zhi concentrated on learning the mind of still water.

This was a pure spiritual meditation method that would not absorb spiritual energy and had nothing to do with physical constitution. Therefore, the strength and weakness of the mimicry were of no use. You Zhi could not adjust himself to the most suitable physical constitution for practice like he had done with other techniques in the past. He could only listen to the lectures and study diligently, resulting in an unprecedentedly slow progress.

But instead of being upset, he became more determined to study after experiencing the results.

Because even if he had not mastered it, he would occasionally enter the state of calmness and stillness for a short time during the learning process. His mental state had been significantly improved, and he even realized the side effects of the strong and weak imitation states.

You Zhi knew from the beginning that the Strong and Weak Imitation Spiritual Ability was an evil skill, but to a fool like him, there was no difference between evil skills and righteous skills, not to mention that he had no righteous skills to learn at that time.

But unknowingly, he let down his guard against evil skills and practiced wholeheartedly, thinking only of constantly improving his realm, and subconsciously ignored the hidden dangers.

Through the heart of Mingjingzhishui, Youzhi can observe himself as if looking in the mirror. When he sees that the self in the mirror always has an expression of gloating, he immediately discovers the abnormality of his own mind.

Although gloating over someone else's misfortune is not a big problem and cannot be compared with the common hidden dangers of evil skills such as cruelty, bloodlust, and cold-bloodedness, no one likes to have their personality distorted, so of course one should try to correct it if possible.

Therefore, You Zhiyuan worked harder than others.

Just when he was absorbed in studying and almost forgot about his mission, one day, several duelists in charge of reconnaissance rushed into the shelter in a panic on their D-wheels, informing everyone that a large number of Mecha King soldiers were flying towards this place and they had to be evacuated as soon as possible.

Everyone was a little panicked, but fortunately, Fudo Yuxing had already anticipated that the shelter would be exposed, and he found two other backup places in advance and designed an emergency plan. At this moment, he was shocked but not panicked, and immediately organized people to transfer according to the plan.

However, no matter how perfect the plan is, various small mistakes are inevitable during its actual implementation. One or two may not be a big deal, but when the number accumulates, it will seriously slow down the efficiency. By the time a large number of Mecha King soldiers appear in sight, some citizens still have not had time to move.

"It will take at least twenty minutes."

Fudo Yusei gritted his teeth and drove to stop the enemy.

Kona said, "Let me do it. As the leader, Your Excellency Yuxing's primary mission is to escort the citizens to their destination. Besides, I have received a great favor from Your Excellency, so I should show some appreciation."

Fudo Yuxing was about to refuse, but after noticing the nervous gazes of the people around him, he immediately realized that as the backbone, he could not act impulsively. Only by staying with everyone could he ensure that the transfer operation proceeded in an orderly manner, otherwise he didn't know what kind of chaos would happen.

He immediately nodded and said, "I believe in Ms. Kona's strength. Please be careful. I will come to support you after I send everyone away."

"Don't worry, such an enemy can't be a problem for me."

Kona smiled confidently, pulled out a Pokémon card from the void, and with a flash of light, a flying dragon made entirely of ice crystals appeared.

[Blue Ice White Night Dragon (8 stars) Water]

[Lineage: Flying, Ice]

【Level: 40】

[Attack power: 3000 (3000)]

【Defense Strength: 2500 (2500)】

[Dragon Clan, Effect: Slightly]

Kona turned over and rode on the White Night Dragon, flying towards the rapidly approaching army of Mecha Emperor soldiers. Before making contact, he launched a blizzard, summoning a howling cold wind to try to freeze the enemy, but unfortunately it had little effect on the steel-type Mecha Emperor soldiers.

Yusei Fudo suppressed his worry and urged the remaining citizens, "Please hurry up, Ms. Kona is blocking the enemy for us. The sooner we leave, the less danger she will be in!"

……

In order to delay the enemy as long as possible, Kona kept ordering Bai Yelong to use large-scale skills, so his spiritual power was consumed quite quickly. After a while, Bai Yelong showed signs of fatigue and was unable to continue.

"There are still too many enemies. Tsk, if only my trident dragon could still be used."

Kona became anxious and immediately broke away from his calm state of mind. The Blue Ice White Night Dragon was affected and its movements were delayed. It failed to dodge the enemy's attack in time and was hit by two beams of light, causing two cracks to appear in the explosion.

At the same time, the pterosaur-like King of Machines soldiers, the Shenkong Type 1, launched a charge, intending to kill the White Night Dragon with their numerical advantage.

Just as Kona was about to summon the second Pokémon, a shower of meteors fell from the sky, and every one that hit the Shenkong Type 1 would directly cause it to crash.

It was You Zhi who arrived riding on the Canghe Dragon Girl.

"How did you come?"

Instead of thanking him, Kona criticized him, "That's ridiculous! You haven't fully mastered the Mirror Stillness Technique yet, and you can't maintain it in battle. Rushing into battle will only harm your Spirit."

While feeling the stimulation of actual combat on his learning, You Zhi calmly said, "Not all elves are susceptible to the erosion of negative energy. For example, the Three Phantom Demons, who represent the aggregate of desires—their instantaneous thunder rips through the sky, their eternal wings cover the earth, bringing soul-shaking terror to the world. Appear, Thunder Emperor!"

Chapter 233 Tactics

A huge yellow demon appeared in the air, looking at the densely packed Mecha King soldiers with a scornful sneer.

He raised his hand, and dazzling lightning gathered in his palm. Just as he was about to launch a thunderous attack, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at You Zhi, as if waiting for instructions.

Kona was amazed when he saw this scene. As soon as Thunderlord appeared, it exuded a powerful mental oppression. He thought that such a ferocious Pokémon must be unruly, but it turned out to be unexpectedly respectful to the trainer. It really shows that you can't judge an evil by its appearance.

Sure enough, preconceived impressions are not desirable, and prejudice will only lead people to make wrong judgments.

"Destroy all this junk." You Zhi said concisely.

After receiving the order, the Thunder Emperor had no more worries. With a roar, a huge pillar of lightning rose from his body and shot straight into the sky. With a piercing roar, it turned into countless lightning bolts that exploded, and each lightning bolt could easily blow up a Mecha Emperor soldier.

For a moment, the sound of explosions continued and the dazzling fireworks filled the eyes.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the originally dense army of the Mecha Emperor's soldiers had become sparse.

Kona had seen a lot of things before, so naturally he wasn't surprised by this. However, he couldn't help but marvel at it. "This is the power of the Phantom Demon... So, the incident in Manjin City was related to you?"

You Zhi said: "It happened to be a good opportunity, so I took the opportunity to snatch a phantom demon."

Although the phantom demon that was taken away at that time was not the Thunder Emperor, some things did not need to be explained so clearly, and he had no obligation to explain.

Kona nodded without asking any further questions. She took back the injured Blue Ice White Night Dragon and summoned a magician elf named "Ice Blizzard Master" to cooperate with Youzhi to eliminate the remaining Mecha King soldiers.

[Ice Blizzard Master (8 Stars) Water]

[Lineage: Ice]

【Level: 40】

[Attack power: 2500 (2500)]

【Defense Strength: 2000 (2000)】

[Mage-Type, Effect: Once per turn, you can place 1 Ice Counter on a face-up monster on the field. You can sacrifice this card to destroy all monsters with Ice Counters.]

With the two of them working together, the Emperor of Machines' soldiers were quickly wiped out.

At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from behind. The two turned their heads and saw a large number of Mecha King soldiers appearing in the sky in the distance. Not only that, there was also a huge mechanical dragon.

"A feint to the east and attack in the west!" You Zhi looked astonished. "I thought the Eternal Transmission Machine was just a simple energy production device, but it's actually equipped with artificial intelligence?"

Kona was also bewildered. "I've never heard of such a plan. The enemy has never shown any tactical intelligence before. They act entirely according to set procedures. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to plan a relocation right under their noses."

"In other words, either the enemy is extremely cunning, pretending to be just a fixed program despite possessing intelligence, or something unusual has occurred within the enemy, such as suddenly awakening intelligence."

You Zhi smelled the scent of conspiracy and suddenly became excited. He quickly activated the Heart of Clear Mirror and Still Water to restrain this impulse.

"No matter what, we have to go and rescue people!"

The two of them rushed back to provide assistance on the Thunder King. When they arrived, they saw the scene in a mess, with damaged and overturned vehicles and tattered corpses everywhere.

There are also duelists who can summon Pokémon among the survivors, but like Kona, their main Pokémon have all gone crazy due to absorbing negative energy. Even though they now have the Heart of Mirror and Stillness, they can only rely on bench Pokémon that were rarely used in the past to fight, and thus suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Meteor Dragon summoned by Fudo Yusei was powerful, it was held back by the enemy's leader.

【Emperor Dragon Star Mark (10 stars) Dark】

[Lineage: Steel, Electricity]

【Level: 60】

[Attack power: 0 (50000)]

【Defense Strength: 0 (0)】

[Mechanical Family, Effect: Slightly]

The Mecha Dragon has the ability to absorb Mecha Soldiers and inherit their attack power. In addition, whenever a Synchro Spirit appears, it will receive 1000 points of true damage.

You Zhi had noticed before that most trainers in this world used Synchro forms of Pokémon. He wasn't sure if it was due to the prevailing preference or if the Pokémon were just like that, so they all fell victim to the attacks of the Alpha Centauri.

Seeing the powerful energy gathering in the head of the Mechanical Emperor Dragon, flashing with six colors of light, and about to launch a shocking beam of light, Fudo Yusei hurriedly said: "The Meteor Dragon feature is activated. Once per round, it blocks the enemy's attack once."

The Meteor Dragon suddenly accelerated, and its body turned into a star ring, which was wrapped around the neck of the Mecha Emperor Dragon. It immediately made it lose its desire to fight and actively dissipate its energy.

If it was a one-on-one situation, Meteor Dragon could block the enemy's attacks until the end of time, but now it was a chaotic battlefield. With the Mecha Emperor Dragon and other Mecha Emperor soldiers blocked, Immovable Wanderer could only rely on the junk warriors and junk archers to barely protect himself, and could not protect others at all.

"Everyone! Damn it, why is this happening..."

Watching his followers die one after another under the attack of the Mecha Emperor's soldiers, Youxing clenched his fists, feeling extremely regretful. He was obsessed with the identity of the savior, and lost himself in the admiring gazes and gratitude of others, and ignored the most important point.

Strength is the foundation of a duelist!

"If it were the real Fudo Yusei, and if I could summon Cosmic Radiance Dragon, I wouldn't be so powerless..."

The effect of the Meteor Dragon soon reached its time limit and it retreated from the Mecha Emperor Dragon.

The Mecha Emperor Dragon gathered energy again and tried to launch an attack. Youxing was suddenly caught in a dilemma. If he ordered Meteor Dragon to attack the Mecha Emperor Soldiers, he would be attacked by the Mecha Emperor Dragon. But if he used his characteristics to block the Mecha Emperor Dragon again, he would have to continue to watch the Mecha Emperor Soldiers massacre the citizens.

"No, we can only take a gamble. Meteor Dragon should try to avoid the attacks of the Mechanical Emperor Dragon and destroy the Mechanical Emperor's soldiers at the same time."

Youxing gritted his teeth and was about to issue a new order when a bolt of lightning roared and hit the Machine Emperor Dragon, causing a violent explosion and forcibly stopping the charging of power.

The Thunder Emperor Shuttle, covered in flashes of lightning, appeared from the sky, grabbed the Machine Emperor Dragon with both hands, and smashed it towards the ground like a snake.

"Whose elf is this, a friendly one?"

You Xing looked at the Thunder Emperor who was emitting a ferocious aura, and found it difficult to determine his position. After all, he did not look decent. It was not until he found You Zhi standing on the Thunder Emperor's shoulder that he felt relieved and focused on dealing with the Machine Emperor's soldiers.

"Another incredibly high attack power and non-existent defense. Against an enemy like this, the smaller the better."
