Chapter 771

~7 min read 1,370 words

Skill Drain, greatness needs no words. The whole field is silent, all gods and ghosts must become blank slates. In the most vicious version of the year, it once became the nightmare that players least wanted to see, and the high-risk card with the highest probability of triggering real-life duels.

The suppression power of this card naturally needs no words, even today it is still active on the front line of the underworld, and it is always a must-have artifact for revenge on society.

Of course, the strength and practicality of cards cannot be generalized. If this card were really strong enough to dominate the championship, it would inevitably be destined to sit in prison. But since there is no place for it in the small black room, it at least shows that Dog K judged that this thing is not crazy enough to destroy the environment.

Skill Drain is strong, but first of all, as a Continuous Trap without a slot, it is difficult to search and lacks stability, and then the biggest problem is that it does not distinguish between enemy and friend. Once activated, one's own monsters also become blank slates. Under such suppression, the range of decks that can be matched with it has been automatically compressed.

Decks like Sin that rely mainly on high ATK rather than monster effects are more suitable. If both sides are blank slates, few can beat the Sin deck in axe-king mutual hacking. There is a beauty of "lowering the opponent's IQ to the same level as one's own and then defeating the opponent with rich experience."

Besides that, effects like Stardust Dragon are not afraid of Skill Drain blocking. If the monster effects of a deck are mostly in the format of "tribute this card to activate," then it also has good compatibility with Skill Drain. Because Skill Drain can only negate monster effects on the field, if a monster effect is activated on the field but has already left the field when the effect is processed, Skill Drain cannot manage it.

In short, Fujiki You Xuan still has to thank Paradox for the express delivery sent from across time and space, which is truly precious. Many things, if limited to this dimension, cannot be obtained no matter what.

And this big gift package is not just cards.

Compared to the original work, although Paradox saved his life, Fujiki You Xuan certainly couldn't just let him go back like this. Even if he opened the net, the Kaiba Corporation was still watching from behind, and it was definitely impossible to let this future man who popped out of nowhere run away.

So that night, Paradox won a luxury suite in the Kaiba Corporation, the kind with high-tech energy field isolation and iron windows.

Of course, the equipment he used to travel over, as well as his equipment from head to toe, were all confiscated.

On this point, Fujiki You Xuan also specifically explained to the team responsible for handling it, don't even leave him a pair of underpants. This person comes from a future of unknown year, although it is a timeline that is already on the verge of extinction, it is also an era that once developed a brilliant civilization based on perpetual motion machines, and many basic technologies are much stronger than now.

Modern people know very little about future technology, although the possibility is not high, it would be bad if he hid some high-tech escape device in his underpants. So for the sake of insurance, strip him clean, and do a full-body scan to ensure that no other dangerous devices are hidden in his body or under his skin.

Paradox: "..."

Always feel like I've been robbed...

The biggest harvest in this set of future equipment is probably the small perpetual motion machine.

When the scientists of the Kaiba Corporation got this thing, it was like opening the door to a new world, so excited. They soon realized that this would be the key to opening a new era, an artifact that could solve human energy problems forever, and one by one they couldn't wait to surround this thing without sleep, dismantling and figuring out the structure of this thing part by part.

"So, you mean... this thing is related to Duel Monsters?"

Mokuba and Fujiki You Xuan looked at this small perpetual motion machine that had been dismantled in the busy laboratory and asked.

"Yeah."

Fujiki You Xuan nodded and said.

"Simply put, it's impossible to make this machine run without dueling."

"Although it is a new energy machine, it is not just a machine. To some extent, it can read people's hearts and will echo with the duelist's heart."

"The right heart can guide it to create infinite value, but conversely, the wrong heart will cause it to reverse, and in the worst case, it will lead the world to an end."

Mokuba clicked his tongue: "So scary?"

"Yeah, so in short, you must be very cautious during the development process, and you must not be rash no matter how much profit you face."

Fujiki You Xuan paused and said.

"Of course, that's a matter for later. Before the Duel Monsters system develops to that point, even if you build a perpetual motion machine, it's useless, it's just a piece of scrap iron."

Mokuba immediately remembered the summoning method that surprised him during the duel just now. "You mean that thing called what... Synchro Summoning?"

"Yeah."

Fujiki You Xuan casually took out "Stardust Dragon" captured from Paradox and handed it to Mokuba.

Mokuba took the card and looked at it, nodded and said: "Indeed, white monster card... never seen it before."

"I just tried it too. If this perpetual motion machine is not installed in the Duel Disk, this card will not have any reaction even if it is put on the existing dueling equipment. It cannot be identified as a card."

"So the perpetual motion machine and Synchro Monsters are mutually promoting, understood." Mokuba said, "The Kaiba Corporation will convene all walks of life to carry out related research next.

Always feel like I can see the shadow of the future world a little bit..."

Fujiki You Xuan asked: "So, about his origin, any clues? This guy named Paradox, is he a future man?"

Mokuba shook his head.

"The result of the initial interrogation seemed to be like this."

!

This guy answered some questions from the interrogation team, and judging from his initial answers, it would indeed feel like he seemed to come from the future.

"But?" Fujiki You Xuan felt there was a "but" behind.

Mokuba said: "But next, our different-dimensional research institute checked the flight equipment he took and compared some parameters. Although they cannot be completely sure yet, they now tend to believe that although this person may come from the future, it should not be the future of our dimension."

"The future time and space of a parallel world?" Fujiki You Xuan asked, "How could this be?"

"This I don't know. Asking him personally, he seems to have no clue either."

Mokuba shook his head.

"Judging from his own answers, he seems to have originally thought he was traveling back to the past of the time and space he was in."

"But after coming here, he collected historical information from our world for comparison and found that some details did not match what he knew. Now, coupled with the comparison parameters our team just brought out, it was judged that it is very likely that he accidentally came to the past of a time and space different from his original dimension..."

Just as they were talking, a man in a white coat ran out of the room in a hurry.

"Oh, just talking about it," Mokuba said, "This is Dr. Gondo, the person in charge of the Different-Dimensional Research Institute. Found something? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Dr. Gondo came to the two of them out of breath, his face ruddy, and he took two breaths before saying.

"There... there is a new discovery."

He adjusted his glasses and said seriously, word by word.

"Our world might be about to be destroyed."
