Chapter 772
"World destruction?"
You Xuan sighed.
About to be destroyed again, can't this world be better? Why can't everyone honestly live a peaceful life, play cards and retire?
"Okay, what is it this time?" You Xuan asked, "Let me guess, another strong old monster from another world?"
"What? No."
Dr. Gondo shook his head, then said seriously.
"It's the person you just brought back. We have been trying to check the origin of this guy until just now, and we are roughly convinced that he should come from a parallel reality that is very similar to our reality but has no intersection... You should understand what this means, right?"
You Xuan nodded: "Understand. But what does this have to do with the end of the world?"
"The thing is, he doesn't seem to know why he appeared here himself," Dr. Gondo said solemnly. "We asked this person, he originally just wanted to return to the timeline of the past of the reality he was in."
"But now it seems that during the time he was showing off his space-time travel, the space-time of the two dimensions became entangled, and the two realities that shouldn't have had an intersection intersected. He was involved in that turbulence during the time travel and accidentally came to our world."
You Xuan understood: "He came here purely by accident."
"Yes. Our team was very curious about why such an accident occurred, so we conducted further research. Then we discovered this terrible fact..."
Dr. Gondo said, showing a somewhat horrified expression.
"The reason why he was involved in this turbulence that shouldn't have existed is probably because the two worlds we are in are approaching each other."
This time You Xuan didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
"It's the literal meaning. It's like two magnets with opposite poles, being attracted to each other and approaching each other," Dr. Gondo said. "It might not have been obvious before, but now that such an accident has occurred, it probably means that the distance between the two worlds is already very close."
Mokuba had already started to guess a little, and his face turned pale: "Wait, then if... the two worlds completely merge into one, what will happen?"
"That's what I just said."
Dr. Gondo showed a solemn expression.
"We, and the other world... will probably both be destroyed."
The three were speechless for a while.
This time it is different from the problems encountered before.
There is no demon god destroying the world, no specific enemy trying to dominate or destroy everything. This feels like a natural disaster.
You Xuan began to ponder.
In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, playing cards can solve 99% of the problems, he knows. But the premise is that you at least have to find someone to play cards with.
What should be done in this situation? Find the incarnation of the world on the other side to play cards?
The three were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while.
Until another person walked into the room quickly: "Mr. You Xuan, that person from the other world said he wants to see you."
You Xuan frowned, didn't ask much, got up and followed the man to the room where he was detained.
The high-tech cage of the Kaiba Corporation locked Paradox behind it, and the latter had already taken off all his original equipment and was changed into a prison uniform. He sat in it with his arms crossed, staring at You Xuan with indifferent eyes.
"They said you want to see me."
You Xuan walked outside the cage.
"I just heard about the matter," Paradox said. "It is indeed a possible explanation. Two worlds that shouldn't have had an intersection became entangled, and my coming to this reality was completely an accident."
He paused as he spoke, his tone slightly eased.
"So history didn't go wrong. There is no such person as you in the history of my world, Fujiki You Xuan."
You Xuan smiled: "So you mean, I can finally get rid of the suspicion of being the culprit who destroyed the world?"
Paradox was speechless. It seems now that his previous accusations were indeed unreasonable, and there was no such person as You Xuan in the history of his own world. But their future was still destroyed, which further proves that this has nothing to do with You Xuan.
But there are some things Paradox didn't say. He felt that even if the problem of his world might have nothing to do with You Xuan, he still felt that this person was poisonous.
Fujiki You Xuan, this guy's dueling is simply like a plague spreading darkness, able to take away all the enthusiasm and hope of a duelist in just one game of cards, making people fall into the desperate abyss of wanting to quit cards from then on...
Paradox shook his head.
Forget it, anyway, it's not his own dimension, it's none of his business. Better to say less.
"The misunderstanding is cleared, so we are now on the same side," Paradox said seriously. "You need my help."
You Xuan raised his eyebrows: "This is said by someone who just tried to kill me."
"I just want to save my own world," Paradox shook his head. "If the two worlds collide, our reality, all timelines will all vanish into thin air."
"What I did was just to try to erase the existence of Duel Monsters from history, so that human civilization could continue. But if even reality no longer exists, what is left to save?"
You Xuan pondered for a moment.
If it were just one-sided words, he naturally couldn't easily believe someone he had only met for the first time. But after all, he had read the original work and knew the character settings, and he knew that what Paradox said was the truth.
Paradox really just returned to the past to save future humans, and if his dimension was going to be destroyed, he would indeed try to save it at all costs.
!
"You want to cooperate?" You Xuan asked.
Paradox said: "First you have to let me out."
"This still needs to be considered," You Xuan said. "Tell me what you plan to do first."
Paradox seemed a bit irritable. He stood up, came to the edge of the cage, faced You Xuan, and looked directly into his eyes.
"Go back to my dimension first."
Paradox said.
"Before I accidentally came to your world, I actually noticed that the history of my world was undergoing some changes, but it was not a change caused by my actions."
"I didn't take it to heart at first, just thought it might be the butterfly effect caused by my traveling through history. But now that I think about it, that might be the reason."
He pondered for a moment and continued.
"I haven't heard of examples of two worlds colliding, but I have heard of a theory."
"If the historical process changes incorrectly, it will cause a world to deviate from its original position, and it is indeed possible that there is a possibility of colliding with other realities."
"You knew there was such a risk and still went to modify history?" You Xuan asked.
"It's just a theoretical risk," Paradox said coldly. "And the future I am in has already been completely destroyed. As long as there is a chance to save it, I am naturally willing to take this risk."
"But as long as I go back and correct the wrong history, it should be able to let my world return to its original track and avoid collision."
"But you originally wanted to change the history of your world, didn't you?" You Xuan said. "Now you want to change the changed history back?"
Paradox rolled his eyes at him: "I changed history to make the future better. If all timelines are annihilated, what future is there to speak of?"
"Let history be restored first, and after avoiding the shattering of the dimension, I will naturally go to find a way to save it. But that is a matter for our dimension, and I think it has nothing to do with you."
You Xuan nodded: "Very reasonable."
"So we have reached an agreement?" Paradox said. "You also need my help. With your current technology, it is difficult to achieve dimensional travel."
"Haha, that's hard to say."
You Xuan waved his hand and walked out.
"I need to think about it again."
Paradox looked at his departing back and said coldly: "Then you'd better hurry. We might not have much time left."
