Chapter 1072: The environment of Z4 is also quite

"Giant Eye... that Giant Eye actually..."

Yamada Ken knelt on the ground in the standard pose of a murderer repenting, his hands supporting his weight, his eyes wide and his face full of shock.

This was the power of the Numbers, the strongest trump card bestowed upon him by Dr. Ficker. Just holding this card made him feel power surging endlessly from within his body; every time he drew a card, he would inexplicably feel the power to rewrite the future through that draw.

But even with such power, he actually still lost.

And it wasn't just a simple defeat, but a total crushing. Until the moment of victory, the opponent still had cards he couldn't finish playing, Counter Traps he couldn't finish setting, and Fairies whose Attack could rise infinitely along with the Counter Traps.

Even if he had miraculously survived this turn, it wouldn't have changed anything.

Even if the duel continued, he would have had to continue miserably activating Spell negations, activating Trap negations, and having his monsters blown up...

Right, even his card draws could be negated.

Negate, negate, and negate again; why don't you just negate the duelist from even entering the field? How is anyone supposed to play?

And this thing is the Duel King of this dimension?

As a Duel King who should represent the face of a dimension, using Fairies that should symbolize a bright path, yet such a combination that should have been sunny and imposing could be so sleazy and infuriating once it started playing—the style of this dimension was clear at a glance.

Fujiki You Xuan seemed to notice that the duelists he had trapped so helplessly in the 5DS dimension didn't seem to have symptoms as intense as this person.

But after thinking about it, he quickly seemed to understand the reason.

It was probably because the dimension of "Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL" was too "sunny."

Even if they are all Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, the mainstream styles of each generation are different; perhaps it was to prevent the audience who follows the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime every year from suffering aesthetic fatigue, or perhaps it was simply that the creative teams of each generation had different personal preferences.

It was analyzed before that because of the restriction that Spells cannot be used in Riding Duels in 5DS, Traps were rampant; from the protagonist group to passersby to bosses, everyone was a Trap master. Chain traps, burn damage, and lockdowns were all common occurrences in this dimension.

But ZEXAL was different. ZEXAL was the generation most famous for "big monsters beating each other up" in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!; from the very first battle of the protagonist Yuma Tsukumo, the tone of soaring Attack and hacking each other was set, and it continued until the finale.

And in the final battle, Yuma's Number 39: Utopia soared to an Attack of 200,000, hacking Don Thousand to death with one blow; it remains the ceiling of numerical Attack in Yu-Gi-Oh! history, other than the "infinite" of the DM era, and it can also represent the style of the ZEXAL anime environment.

Whether it's the protagonist or the villain, all duelists in ZEXAL seem to have their main decks built solely for summoning Xyz trump cards. Everyone's deck strategy is to summon the trump card quickly, and then all the remaining cards in the deck are auxiliary cards to help the "big brother" fight better against the opponent.

It would be perfectly fine to say that Z4 is a hot-blooded battle anime wearing the guise of a card game.

So, for a duelist coming out of an environment where the entire dimension is like this, suddenly encountering a "sleazy" person who plays cards from beginning to end with only low-level monsters, without Tribute Summoning or Xyz Summoning, just standing a few small monsters on the field and starting an infinite counter loop, it was indeed inevitable that their mentality would collapse.

Yamada Ken collapsed to the ground, and the "Number 11" seal on his body flickered and then disappeared. He raised his head and shouted "Ahhhhhh," then clutched his heart and fell over, with no movement left.

The people around the research institute were all startled. The medical team that had already received the news and was waiting outside rushed in.

Well, it is common knowledge that playing cards is a very dangerous sport; becoming a vegetable or even losing one's life is a very common thing, so it is very normal to have a medical team on standby.

Judai asked curiously: "Eh? Fujiki You Xuan, did you kill this guy?"

As he spoke, he looked at Fujiki You Xuan with confusion.

Fujiki You Xuan spread his hands innocently: "No, he's from another dimension; he represents yet another new force entering the game, and I still have many questions to ask. How could I just kill him like that."

Judai looked suspiciously at Yamada Ken, who had rolled his eyes and passed out: "Then he..."

"God knows," Fujiki You Xuan said casually, "Probably from anger."

Judai: "..."

Fine, that's reasonable too. After all, he was a simple person from another world who fought the Lord in Yellow for the first time; one shouldn't expect too much, it's understandable.

Fujiki You Xuan pulled out this person's deck and searched for a while, but as expected, it was the same as Judai's previous duel.

There were no Numbers.

Once the duel ended, the Number cards disappeared; there was no way to pull them from the deck.

Fujiki You Xuan remembered that the protagonist of ZEXAL, Yuma Tsukumo, seemed to be the same. His "Number 39: Utopia" was something that suddenly appeared out of thin air when his card case glowed during a duel.

And even after obtaining this card, it was usually not on his person; it often appeared out of thin air in the card case during a duel or when the situation required it.

Numbers are cards like that; once they are bound to a duelist, it is very difficult to deprive them of them unless one has the ability of Astral, or kills the duelist directly.

Fujiki You Xuan still wanted to ask questions, so he held back and didn't eliminate Yamada Ken's soul; the Numbers naturally remained bound to him.

"Take him back for questioning first; the issue of Number detachment can be studied later."

Fujiki You Xuan was not in a hurry; he trusted the technology of Kaiba Corp. The person was already in his hands, and the duel had been won; separating the person from the card was just a matter of time.

Another space.

The Mr. Ts who were watching the development of the situation became increasingly irritable.

"This is completely useless."

A Mr. T said.

"That was one of your people, right? Didn't he also get dragged out by the Duel King?"

The otherworldly existence in the darkness still said unhurriedly: "No, not 'our' people. I said, I just tried to find new allies for you, but I didn't say they were my people."

"New allies," a Mr. T said faintly, "Is it that guy called 'Dr. Ficker' that this person just mentioned?"

The voice in the darkness said: "You could say that."

"So who is this Ficker? Can his abilities work?"

The otherworldly existence said: "His abilities are not weak... well, but let's wait and see. Your allies are not just this 'Ficker'."

"Even Ficker is just a pawn. When the pawns all fail and are defeated one by one, I'm afraid the Seven Emperors will have no choice but to take action themselves."

"Maybe 'that guy' behind the Seven Emperors will also come to join the fun... hehe, it will be exciting then."

A Mr. T on the side frowned: "What Seven Emperors? Who is that guy? What are you talking about, all this nonsense."

"Well, don't ask so much, just watch obediently."

The voice in the darkness said lazily.

"Things will get more and more interesting." ===== CHAPTER 1073 =====
