Chapter 1014: Jack vs Copy Yusei

Zone's statement verified a conjecture Fujiki You Xuan had before.

Sure enough, this other Zone that appeared was a counterpart of Zone from another dimension, and in fact, it was not real either.

Just like the batch of copies encountered before, this Zone was also a copy. It was another self created using Zone's own personality replication technology.

Then the remaining question now is, why?

So many copies, and even Zone himself; who made so many copies for what purpose? Or is it that the neighboring dimension they came from has been completely occupied by copy machines?

That fake Zone said: "That's right, I am man-made, but at the same time, I am also real. You understand this best yourself, don't you?"

Zone did not respond.

Indeed, Zone's own attitude toward whether "replicated personality can be considered the person himself" was not very clear. But judging from the original work, when he said he "resurrected Yusei Fudo in the future," he actually meant that he replicated Yusei Fudo's personality onto himself. Therefore, in his view, perhaps a copy with complete memory and personality could count as a substitute for the original.

Zone turned to ask: "What is your purpose in coming to this dimension? To destroy this world?"

"Destroy? No, I am here to save it, from you." Fake Zone said.

Zone frowned slightly under his mask: "From me?"

"That's right... Well, this can be discussed slowly later. As for now..."

While speaking, a circular floating screen was projected in mid-air. The projected image showed two D-Wheels speeding on a track, one red and one white, which were the most classic rival duo in 5D's.

Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas.

Of course, everyone present knew that Jack Atlas was the real deal in this dimension, while that Yusei Fudo was a copy from another dimension.

The two had already entered Riding Duel mode, ready to make a move.

Fake Zone said: "I think everyone is concerned about the development of this duel, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan and Zone didn't speak, just both looked at the projected screen.

Indeed, they were also looking forward to how this duel would develop. To what extent had Jack Atlas, who had just gained new power, evolved, and how much ability did that copy Yusei Fudo have.

The roar of the engine tore through the air, and the red and white afterimages cut into the bend almost side by side. Yusei's red D-Wheel tilted at an almost extreme angle, and the tires rubbed against the ground, bursting with orange-red sparks.

Just as he was about to hit the guardrail, his car head suddenly poked out half a meter more than Jack's Wheel of Fortune. This subtle difference was magnified when drifting through the bend. When the two cars drifted simultaneously, Yusei took the lead by less than 0.3 seconds and straightened the car body first. The pupils under Jack's helmet contracted sharply; he saw the red afterimage in front dragging a flame-like tail in the sunlight.

Copy Yusei took the first bend and said: "Looks like I'm going first."

Jack was amazed at the copy's superb driving skills, but he still remained calm on the surface, coldly snorting as if he didn't care: "Hmph, if you want it so much, what if I let you go first?

Let me see, how many percent of the real Yusei's level can a fake's duel have!"

"Riding Duel, accelerate!"

【Copy Yusei, LP 4000】

【Jack, LP 4000】

"I'll go first, draw."

Copy Yusei drew a card, glanced at it, and set the drawn card directly onto the Duel Disk.

"Set one monster in face-down Defense Position, turn end."

Jack frowned immediately.

Only set one monster and passed...

He observed the opponent's expression and suddenly felt like he understood. The opponent was giving him a chance to perform, wanting to see his level first before counterattacking.

And making such a decision was likely because the opponent had absolute confidence in his own strength, confident that he could win at any time if he wanted to counterattack, and had the capital to be completely at ease. Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in Jack's heart.

"Even the real Yusei wouldn't dare to be careless in front of me. Since you are so confident, then feel the anger of Jack Atlas himself!

My turn, draw!"

Jack played his classic monster that almost always comes out second.

"Special Summon 'Vice Dragon'!"

The fierce-looking Vice Dragon spread its wings and appeared on Jack's field, but after landing, its body was immediately wrapped in a purple light, and in that light, it seemed to shrink by half in size.

【Vice Dragon, ATK 2000 → ATK 1000】

"When the opponent has a monster on the field and I have no monsters on my field, Vice Dragon can be Special Summoned directly from the hand. It's just that when Special Summoned by this effect, this card's original ATK and DEF become half."

Jack immediately took the summoned Vice Dragon off the Duel Disk.

"Next, Tribute 'Vice Dragon', Tribute Summon!

Inherit the power of the Vice Dragon, and crush the enemy with a violent wind! Strong Wind Dragon!"

Vice Dragon disintegrated into light spots, and those thousands of light spots gathered, stirring up a green storm. The green, burly dragon dominated the hurricane and landed on Jack's side.

【Strong Wind Dragon, ATK 2400】

"When Strong Wind Dragon is Tribute Summoned by Tributing a Dragon-Type monster, its ATK increases by half of the original ATK of the Tributed monster!"

Jack said.

"The original ATK of the Vice Dragon sent to the Graveyard is reset to 2000, so Strong Wind Dragon's ATK is 1000!"

【Strong Wind Dragon, ATK 2400 → ATK 3400】

Jack glanced at the set monster in the opponent's backrow and snorted coldly: "If you are imitating Yusei's tactics, then the monster set in the first turn is most likely a defensive monster that can negate battle destruction like 'Shield Wing'.

This way, you can block the attacks of low-level monsters and keep them on the field, preparing for the Synchro attack in the next turn..."

After all, they are teammates of Team 5D's, old friends for many years and old rivals who grew up together; Jack is naturally quite familiar with Yusei's tactics.

"However, such tactics won't work! When Strong Wind Dragon attacks a Defense Position monster, if its ATK exceeds the DEF, it can deal piercing damage!"

Jack shouted.

"Attack the face-down Defense Position monster with 'Strong Wind Dragon'!

Violent Hurricane!"

Strong Wind Dragon struck the storm, and the green whirlwind slashed toward the opposite set monster with thousands of sharp blades.

Copy Yusei glanced at the hurricane blasted by Strong Wind Dragon and said lightly: "Your prediction of my tactics is indeed correct, but it's a pity, I still seem to be better than you."

The set monster flipped over, revealing its true form.

【Heavy Warrior, DEF 1200】

"Heavy Warrior cannot be destroyed by battle once per turn." Copy Yusei said, "And, all battle damage dealt to the controller of this card becomes 0."
