Chapter 273

Thanks to the President's generosity, being able to get the legendary Destruction Sword deck on this trip was also a completely unexpected surprise.

However, after a brief look at the few cards currently available, Fujiki You Xuan soon discovered that this deck was not a complete set either.

The Buster Blader was also one of the main trump cards used by Yugi Mutou back in the day. Especially during the Battle City period, the main force used by Yugi when he first encountered the Phantom God and defeated "Slifer the Sky Dragon" was the most primitive Buster Blader, and the end of the fateful duel between Yugi and Kaiba in the Battle City semi-finals was also based on the fusion of the Buster Blader and the Dark Magician to lay the foundation for victory.

Of course, the dueling environment at that time was somewhat less standardized, for example, when facing Slifer the Sky Dragon.

Yugi: Because you have Slifer on your field, Buster Blader's attack power increases by five hundred!

Marik: Wait, Slifer is a Divine-Beast race, not a Dragon race, Buster Blader's attack power cannot increase.

Yugi: What is Slifer's name?

Marik: Slifer the... Sky Dragon?

Yugi: So you admit Slifer is a dragon, then Buster Blader's attack power increases!

Marik:...

Well, so back then, Buster Blader strangely gained an attack power bonus from Slifer, which was clearly a Divine-Beast race, but such details are not important.

The Pharaoh says you are a dragon, do you dare not be a dragon?

Apparently, this kind of "mouth-dueling" has a long history in Yu-Gi-Oh; in fact, not only in the anime, but also in reality.

Players who entered the game in modern times might not have heard of it, but in the early years of the Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship, there was actually room for "mouth-dueling" as well. In the competitions back then, as long as both players had no objections, many times the referees often ignored "mouth-dueling" or incorrect rulings.

There were even examples on the field where one player convinced their opponent to believe in a finishing combo that actually didn't hold up based on their own eloquence, and after the opponent was convinced by the "mouth-dueling," they admitted their defeat. As long as both players agreed that this "mouth-dueling" was valid, then the tournament also recognized the outcome of this game.

So back then, when the King convinced his opponent through "mouth-dueling" to complete combos like "attacking the moon to make the seawater recede" to achieve victory in the competition, he actually had a bit of research...

Over the years, as one of the main forces of the game, Buster Blader has naturally always been a key development object. In order to target Kaiba, Gozaburo conducted independent in-depth research, and in this duel against Kaiba, he used new cards that were not yet available to the outside world.

However, Fujiki You Xuan knew that even so, this deck was actually still a semi-finished product.

But he wasn't surprised either. After all, a complete Buster Blader deck is actually a Synchro deck in reality, which is impossible to complete in this era.

The Blue-Eyes deck held by Kaiba is the same; a Blue-Eyes without Synchro is also incomplete. However, this is the limitation of the era, and it should not be possible to break through for a while.

Synchro Summoning is something from the 5D's era. In the anime world, this is not just a summoning method; the emergence of Synchro Summoning also represents a leap of an entire era, the opening of a new epoch.

And the key to it is the discovery of a new element named "Yusei Particles," which is also the opportunity for the development of a perpetual motion machine.

In this era without Yusei Particles, it is impossible for the concept of Synchro to exist. This is a shackle that cannot be broken by just printing cards or researching decks; one must first achieve a breakthrough in physics to drive the printing of cards into a new era.

"..."

"By the way, Fujiki You Xuan should be interested in this, right?"

When returning to the Kaiba Corporation to pick from the newly entered cards, Mokuba suddenly appeared.

Fujiki You Xuan took the card he handed over, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zaborg the Thunder Monarch.

One of the several Monarchs corresponding to the Light attribute. Five stars, 2400 attack power, the effect is that when Tribute Summoned, you can destroy one card on the field.

The effect is simple and crude, but easy to use.

"I heard that Fujiki You Xuan has been collecting the Monarch series recently. It is indeed a very rare deck series." Mokuba said with a smile, "So I had people specifically keep an eye out for you before, and if any Monarchs appeared in the newly entered inventory, I would specifically save one for you."

Fujiki You Xuan patted Mokuba's shoulder solemnly.

Don't say anything else, good brother.

Much more reliable than your brother.

"But honestly, I really didn't expect that after so many years... there would still be a time when I would hear the name Gozaburo again."

As the two exited the warehouse and the metal door automatically closed and locked behind them, Mokuba sighed.

"This is the third time I've felt that I could finally get rid of that man... but who knows if this will be the last time?"

"Yeah, who knows." Fujiki You Xuan shrugged, "But I guess I know what the President would say."

"Hmm?" Mokuba looked sideways.

Fujiki You Xuan crossed his arms and put on a straight face, imitating President Kaiba's tone.

"Let them come, they are just a stray dog. No matter how many times, I will send him on his way again!"

Mokuba couldn't help but chuckle.

"You really understand my brother." Mokuba laughed, "But be careful not to let my brother see. Let me tell you secretly, actually, don't look at him like this, my brother is actually quite vengeful..."

Fujiki You Xuan nodded: "I know."

After all, Joey was called a "loser" by the President for his whole life, his duelist rating was only 2 stars, and he didn't even get a Duel Disk, which was given to Battle City participants for free back then...

Whether the President is vengeful or not, Joey probably has the most say.

"What about the rest of those AIs?" Fujiki You Xuan asked casually.

"Well, they have all been temporarily shut down and sealed by the system, in a forced sleep state... but measures should be taken soon."

Mokuba stopped his steps when he said this, a bit dazed.

"Actually, if it were up to my brother, I think he would be more inclined to destroy them all. However..."

He paused, his expression a bit hesitant.

Fujiki You Xuan looked at him sideways.

"You don't agree?"

"Well..." Mokuba pondered, "After all those things, especially after Noah's matter before... I was thinking, are they just victims of Gozaburo too? Could it be..."

"Well, who can say?" Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

He also remembered Delta for a moment, a strange AI whose biggest dream was to sell balloons at Kaiba Land, but in the end, he still chose to sacrifice himself for his "father" Gozaburo without regret.

However, in the end, in Gozaburo's eyes, Delta was just a "waste part" with slightly superior performance.

"Only one thing is certain, they are our enemies, and that is enough." Fujiki You Xuan said, "I think the President understands this point too."

Yes, no one understands better than Seto Kaiba.

What he chose was originally a path that had to be paved with corpses and bathed in blood. When choosing this path, it was destined that enemies must be trampled underfoot, and only in this way.

"Yeah... I think you're right." Mokuba nodded.

"Alright, in this way, you have also settled a matter of concern, and I should go back too." Fujiki You Xuan waved at him, "There is another match waiting for me, Professor Crowler has already sent a message to urge me. If I don't go back, he might come looking for me himself."
