Chapter 857: Signer Destiny

Security Bureau.

Fudo Yusei followed two leading security officers all the way to the top floor, and from afar, he saw "Officer Goodwin" waiting at the entrance of the rooftop.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Fujiki You Xuan gave a slight smile to the two security officers.

"Leave the rest to me."

The two saluted him and then turned and left.

Yusei came to him, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed the Signer mark on his hand: "Did you call me here for this?"

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at his arm. Sure enough, the fierce battle of the Fortune Cup accelerated the awakening, and now Yusei's Signer mark was permanently on his arm.

"Not bad."

Fujiki You Xuan nodded.

"Spanning five thousand years of time, the legend of the Crimson Dragon. You should have already witnessed a glimpse of that power."

Yusei didn't speak.

As a scientific-side big shot who picked up trash in the Satellite and hand-built perpetual motion machines, Yusei used to be dismissive of these supernatural-leaning claims.

Just like Kaiba in the early days of DM, he was superstitious about science.

But of course, Yusei now is also like Kaiba later, having witnessed the appearance of various supernatural phenomena time and time again, and various phenomena that science cannot explain have made him have to start accepting the reality that transcends the known scientific scope.

The power of the Crimson Dragon did appear when he and Jack dueled, and it took them to another dimension. The duel between the two was indeed affected by power beyond common sense, the holographic projection was converted into real damage, and the King of Flipping is still lying in the ICU until now.

Not to mention the Dark Signers and Earthbound Immortals that appeared that night. All these realities made Yusei have to accept these existences that refreshed his worldview.

"Signers and Dark Signers have fought on this land more than once," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Dark Signers are the fated enemies of Signers, people who possess the soul of the Yellow Springs."

"They are all people who have died once, but their powerful obsessions were used by the Lord of the Huang Quan, turning them into walking dead-like existences returning to the world of the living, bearing the destiny of fighting with Signers."

"Whenever the gates of the Huang Quan are opened, Signers and Dark Signers will fight with this entire world as a bet."

"With the world as a bet?"

Yusei was surprised.

"Not bad," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Five thousand years ago, such a battle happened once. The 'People of the Stars', our predecessors, obtained the power of the five dragons incarnated by the Crimson Dragon, and launched a fierce battle with the Evil Gods around the gates of the Huang Quan."

"After the tragic battle, the Crimson Dragon won, the Evil Gods were sealed on the land of Nazca, and the gates of the Huang Quan were closed."

"Five thousand years..."

Yusei said.

"But if it has been silent for five thousand years without movement, why would the Evil Gods and Dark Signers awaken in this era?"

"Because of the perpetual motion machine," Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Perpetual motion machine?"

"Not bad. Yusei, you should also know that the perpetual motion machine in the city is not the first in human history," Fujiki You Xuan said, "The first perpetual motion machine in history is located deep in the Satellite, in an area listed as a restricted zone."

"A dream machine that can continuously generate positive energy and is inexhaustible. The temptation of infinite energy made people at that time unable to resist the temptation of profit. Seventeen years ago, when the control system was not perfect enough, the development department at that time forcibly started the No. 1 perpetual motion machine."

"But this greed finally led to an irreparable tragedy."

"The perpetual motion machine that should have rotated forward rotated in reverse, causing the tragedy known as 'Zero Reverse'. The New New Tongshiye that was originally one was torn into two halves, the current 'New New New Tongshiye', and the Satellite where you were born."

Yusei was silent.

Of course he knew these things.

Because his father was one of the core personnel of the No. 1 perpetual motion machine development at that time.

On the eve of the Zero Reverse, Dr. Fudo, who already knew that the disaster could not be avoided, stuffed Yusei, who was still an infant, into the launch pod, and sent his son away from the center of the disaster the moment before the disaster broke out.

Therefore, Yusei, who should have been born in the top-tier district, was sent to the Satellite and adopted by a foster mother named "Martha." Later, the child grew up and found that he had amazing arm strength, faster than a bullet... oh no, it should be said that his card strength was amazing.

In short, the similarity between Crab Brother's backstory and a certain guy who is busy saving the world every day is as high as 80% or more. Fujiki You Xuan doesn't believe that there is no tribute component at all.

"On the same day as the Zero Reverse, the land of Nazca also released amazing energy, almost exactly the same as the energy released by the perpetual motion machine," Fujiki You Xuan said.

Yusei frowned: "Are you saying that the awakening of the Dark Signers is because of the perpetual motion machine?"

"Part of the reason, yes," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Five thousand years have passed, and the seal has naturally weakened. Now the old perpetual motion machine located in the Satellite will be the new gate to the Huang Quan."

Yusei: "Then if we lose..."

"The laws of the Yellow Springs will dominate the existing world, and our world will be assimilated by hell," Fujiki You Xuan said calmly, "Awakening the Signers, defeating the Dark Signers, and closing the gates of the Huang Quan is the reason why this 'Fortune Cup' was held."

Yusei pondered for a few seconds and finally asked the question that had been in his heart recently.

"You said there are five Signers, but only four were gathered in the Fortune Cup... no, although there were only four people, the Crimson Dragon still appeared during the decisive battle between me and Jack."

"In other words, the fifth person should have been at the scene at that time."

Yusei looked up, staring directly into "Goodwin's" eyes, as if wanting to see through his thoughts.

"The fifth person has been you all along, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes.

It didn't seem strange that Yusei would think so. From his actions so far, combined with some coincidences, it really looked like that.

When the Fortune Cup was held, the fifth Signer mark was indeed near the scene, but it was not a person, but only an arm in a petri dish...

Of course, this matter was not easy to explain, and there was no need to make it clear now.

"I am not," Fujiki You Xuan shook his head and said, "But don't worry. As long as it is needed, the fifth person will appear... sooner or later."

With the answer he got and more doubts, Yusei left.

However, not long after Yusei left, another Signer returned here.

Akiza Izinski.

After a subordinate came to report, Fujiki You Xuan also signaled for her to come in. So soon, Akiza was also brought to Fujiki You Xuan again.

Fujiki You Xuan sat in the Officer's chair, facing the rising sun outside the window behind him, and said lightly: "Miss Izinski, you are back."

"I believe you should have already seen the things I left for you."

Akiza: "..."

Although she didn't speak, the expression and the tear stains on her face already explained everything.

She already knew the truth.

"Then, how is it?" Fujiki You Xuan asked, "Your answer?"

"Did you come here this time to try to kill me again? Or something else?"

Akiza closed her eyes slightly, her chest heaving violently, as if she was making a difficult decision.

Finally, she opened her eyes and said softly.

"Your invitation... I accept it."
