Chapter 1280: Zorc's Trepidation

【Thousand-Venerable Clone, LP 0】

Everyone widened their eyes, as if afraid of seeing wrong, watching with their own eyes as the black shadow opposite, the guy You Xuan called a "god," saw its only remaining point of Life Points slide down and completely return to zero.

"Won..."

Crow was stunned for a brief two seconds, as if his brain had taken a moment to process the scene before him, before he revealed a joyful expression.

"Won!"

Even that opponent called a god was truly defeated; as expected of You Xuan!

Akiza also revealed a smile, saying: "I told you so."

Although Akiza had been surprised when she heard the opponent was some kind of god, it hadn't taken long for her emotions to settle down.

So what if it's a god? It didn't matter who the opponent was; anyway, she knew You Xuan would win.

Because this man was just that strong.

Although they were surprised and confused in their hearts that You Xuan had suddenly pulled out the "Earthbound Immortal," the representative card of their mortal enemies, the Signers, it didn't affect their happiness for You Xuan's victory in the slightest.

On one hand, of course, it was because of trust. You Xuan had already won this with his strength and actions; ever since that final battle when You Xuan impersonated Goodwin, the members of Team 5DS basically had no more doubts about You Xuan.

Before this, although in their eyes Earthbound Immortals indeed represented evil, no matter how evil, they were ultimately just cards. Compared to the faction a card represented, they clearly trusted You Xuan more.

Since You Xuan could use Earthbound Immortals so casually, it meant he already had the ability and confidence to control them. If it were You Xuan, it wouldn't be strange even if he could control such a terrifying existence as an Earthbound Immortal.

"Well, but this so-called Master, being attacked directly by an Earthbound Immortal with only 1 ATK..." Akiza laughed. "I'm afraid he's very unwilling right now."

Sure enough, at this moment, everyone cast their gaze toward the defeated Thousand-Venerable Clone, and it seemed as if one could see the heavy resentment and unwillingness with the naked eye.

Yes, one could see it with the naked eye. Because that resentment permeated out of the body and even turned into a physical form, like rolling black smoke constantly steaming upward.

Of course, this had been just a clone from the start; although losing had an impact on the current Lao Qian, it wouldn't hurt his true self. He also had psychological expectations for the outcome of defeat, and this battle carried a mentality of probing the opponent to some extent.

So Lao Qian could actually accept the outcome of losing, and he was psychologically prepared. He was an ultimate ancient antique whose lifespan almost transcended the concept of time, an ancient god who had created a dimension; he would never be moved by a duel with a mere insignificant human.

Although that's what he said...

But this bug was just too infuriating!

"I'll remember you, human... Fujiki You Xuan," the Thousand-Venerable Clone said coldly. "From now on, this has become a personal grudge.

I will return, descending into this dimension again. And next time, it won't be just a probe of this level..."

Halfway through his words, Lao Qian seemed to suddenly realize that such a threat was probably hollow and powerless against You Xuan, because this guy wasn't from this dimension from the start.

So Lao Qian added: "Of course, there's also your dimension. It'll be soon; my resurrection process is already accelerating, and my power is recovering. I will find your dimension, and then you will realize that being my enemy will be the last mistake you make in your life, human."

"Oh, is that so?" You Xuan smiled. "Then good luck."

Lao Qian: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Lao Qian's tone softened, no longer as sharp as before, but instead returned to coldness, even carrying a hint of an inexplicable smile.

"You are very confident, human. Perhaps you indeed have such capital. Although I have slept for many years, even in the era of my peak, I don't remember many people like you. This is good, because only with this level of strength will you have a better chance of living to the moment you face me again." "Oh?" You Xuan said. "So, you sound like you think I'll be in big trouble before then."

The Thousand-Venerable Clone let out a strange, cold laugh.

"There are some things that don't hurt to tell you. After all, if possible, I would also prefer you to live until my complete resurrection, rather than becoming someone else's ghost before then," he said.

Lao Qian's mentality at this moment was probably "You are mine" and "You are not allowed to lose to anyone other than me."

"Then I'll tell you specifically," the Thousand-Venerable Clone said coldly. "First, about your dimension, 'Fusion Dimension'... is that what it's called?

That guy Zorc seems to say that your place is the 'Basic Dimension,' the center of all dimensional fusion."

"Oh, you know about this too," You Xuan said. "Then since you know, Lao Qian, why don't you reveal some inside information to us?"

The expressions of Yusei and the others toward You Xuan were a bit strange.

Lao Qian?

A minute ago, You Xuan was locked in a fierce battle with this guy, and the opponent's previous performance also had the air of being irreconcilable. As a result, You Xuan was now directly and familiarly asking the opponent for intelligence, as if nothing had happened.

And the opponent wasn't surprised either, just snorted, and then continued gloomily: "It doesn't matter. That guy Zorc seems to want to use such lies to incite forces in various dimensions, making them interested in your dimension, thereby triggering conflict.

My foolish Barian subjects easily believed his nonsense, but I am different. I can distinguish what is true and what is false."

After a pause, a hint of a playful smile appeared on the Thousand-Venerable Clone's face.

Although he hadn't finished speaking, You Xuan had probably already guessed: "You want to say that the matter about our dimension being the Basic Dimension, the center of multi-dimensional fusion, is false?"

"Well, is it or isn't it?" the Thousand-Venerable Clone sneered.

Although he hadn't stated it clearly, his attitude had already allowed You Xuan to be certain.

"So, that Zorc fabricated such a lie to deliberately arouse the covetousness of other dimensions for our world. What a guy who creates trouble for others."

You Xuan sighed lightly.

"Then, about why he said these things, do you have any clues, Lao Qian?"

"Ah, more or less."

The Thousand-Venerable Clone said calmly.

"It's probably that there is someone in your dimension who even that guy Zorc feels trepidation about, someone he wants to probe no matter what. That Zorc seems to think that as long as enough trouble is created in your world, someone who has never shown themselves might take action.

Because even Zorc wants to confirm with his own eyes the strength of that 'King' who has been hiding in your dimension for a long time, whose whereabouts and strength are both a mystery... no, it should be said, that person who has long surpassed the level of a 'King'."

Lao Qian didn't say a specific name, but You Xuan was 99% certain who he was talking about.

The first generation King of Games, Yugi Mutou. ===== CHAPTER 1281 =====
