Chapter 1159: The Appearance of Fujiwara
"... The other side seems to have cut off this passage from the other end."
In the laboratory of the Kaiba Group's Space Research Department, the laboratory head explained to Fujiki You Xuan.
"I'm afraid that the person named Fika made a contingency plan before coming over. If he found that the situation was not right, he would let the people on the other side immediately close the system to prevent us from going over.
But the good news is that thanks to the research on the passage, we have basically locked the coordinates of the dimension on the other side. Now there are only a few more tests to be done, and it may need to be calibrated more accurately..."
The person in charge said, seeming to notice that this King was a bit absent-minded, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong?"
"No, nothing... just feel like there are fewer people here?"
Fujiki You Xuan looked at the laboratory, which seemed a bit empty, and said.
"What? Flu, large-scale sick leave?"
The person in charge's expression seemed a bit surprised.
Following that, he shook his head: "No. Our laboratory is fully staffed today, no one is on sick leave."
This time it was Fujiki You Xuan's turn to be surprised.
"No one is on sick leave?"
He looked at the few seats that were obviously empty, feeling a bit incomprehensible.
"So, you mean this unit only has these people to begin with?"
"That's right." The person in charge nodded.
Fujiki You Xuan frowned, looked around, and asked: "Then where did Daniel go?"
"Who?" The person in charge seemed a bit confused.
"The blond young man with glasses who was sitting by the window and always enlivened the atmosphere." Fujiki You Xuan said.
The person in charge smiled: "I have never found the Duel King to be so fond of joking before. If you are seeking a serious reply, then we have never had a person named Daniel here."
Fujiki You Xuan walked to the empty seat by the window: "Fine, if there is no such person, then at least tell me who is sitting in this seat."
The person in charge's smile disappeared: "Are you serious?"
"100% serious." Fujiki You Xuan said.
"Then okay, you should know that no one is sitting here." The person in charge said, "There has never been anyone."
Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly.
He was convinced that this person named Daniel seemed to have disappeared.
It was not just a physical disappearance, but even his existence had been erased from the memories of everyone who knew him, as if the whole person had been erased from the world from the level of existence.
The other empty seats in this laboratory were probably the same, and several people had already gone missing.
He called for the personnel list of all employees of the Kaiba Group.
The list confirmed one of his conjectures again.
Although he didn't remember exactly how many employees the Kaiba Group originally had, there was one thing he could be sure of. That is, this list has become shorter.
He had seen the employee list before. The Kaiba Group is a behemoth group, and the number of people is huge. And at this glance, he estimated that at least dozens of people should be missing.
Fujiki You Xuan immediately associated it with a scene in the original work. Near the end of GX, Darkness began to act comprehensively. People all over the world began to disappear one after another, just like this, being erased from the level of existence.
From the shots given in the anime, even the names on the employee list of the entire Kaiba Group all disappeared, and it was erased until only the name of Seto Kaiba, the president, remained. However, this name did not disappear in the end, and the shot cut away afterwards.
It can be inferred that Darkness assimilated everyone else in the company in the anime. Maybe they also found the president, but they couldn't withstand the "Crush, Destroy, Shout, Applause" so the assimilation failed, or maybe the president ran to the Underworld to find cards to play again, so the person couldn't be found at all.
But looking at the current situation, Fujiki You Xuan has reason to suspect that Darkness has begun to act. Just while Fujiki You Xuan and the others were having a heated fight with the visitors from the Xyz Dimension, Darkness had already quietly implemented the next step of the plan.
Fujiki You Xuan closed the floating screen displaying the list and said to the person in charge: "You continue to study, and notify me as soon as you locate the coordinates of the Xyz Dimension."
"Where are you going?" The person in charge couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Go back to Duel Academy and take a look at our old school building." Fujiki You Xuan said.
He knew that that place was the place most closely connected to the Darkness world. If Darkness finally decided to implement the final plan, then there must be some reaction in the old school building.
However, before he could act, a voice sounded behind him: "No need to go."
Fujiki You Xuan turned his head and saw a young man wearing a wide black windbreaker and a mask, with blond hair, who had appeared out of thin air at some point, sneering: "As expected of the Duel King, truly keen.
I was wondering if it was necessary to take action against you first, or wait until the assimilation of this world goes further before considering your problem... but now it seems that you are indeed a threat that must be excluded first, otherwise the progress of Darkness will be difficult to advance."
This person was wearing the same windbreaker as Aster when he was blackened, and a similar mask. Fujiki You Xuan quickly guessed his identity: "Yusuke Fujiwara?"
The man laughed dryly, took off his mask, and sure enough, revealed Yusuke Fujiwara's face. But he said: "If you are referring to the identity as a human, that's right. But Yusuke Fujiwara died long ago, and the one in front of you now is Darkness."
He opened his Duel Disk.
"If I take you down, I'm afraid this world will be in the pocket of Darkness."
"That may not be so... but it doesn't matter."
Fujiki You Xuan wanted to say that even if he passed his level, there were more powerful ones behind, but on second thought, anyway, the other side couldn't even pass this level, so it didn't make sense to know what hidden BOSS was behind in advance.
"Duel!" x2

【Yusuke Fujiwara, LP 4000】
"I'll go first, draw!"
Yusuke Fujiwara's first move.
"I will first summon this monster," Yusuke Fujiwara said, "I summon 'Clear Phantom'!"
Suspended hexahedral ice crystals condensed in the air. This crystal is not an ordinary crystal, but an aggregate of countless tiny prisms, like a huge, clear, transparent ice cube.
The outline of a demon gradually emerged inside the cube. It was a translucent skeleton, with the only single eye tightly wrapped in a cage made of ribs. The skeleton without any flesh and blood formed the upper body of the demon, while the lower body was a long tail, and the end of the tail was a sharp blade.

It appeared, the deck named "Clear," a series unique to the Darkness world.
The feature of the Clear deck is that all monsters are wrapped in transparent prisms of "Clear," and all monsters have the common effect of "having no attribute," which fits the characteristics of Darkness.
This deck has been anime-exclusive for many years since the anime aired, and it was only realized as a physical card many years later. And because the physical card environment had accelerated to a quite terrifying level at that time, the Clear deck after being realized as a physical card was even strengthened compared to the original version.
Yusuke Fujiwara: "Next, activate this card! Field Spell—
——Clear World!!!" ===== CHAPTER 1160 =====
