Chapter 867

Placido: "."

This Emperor of Iliaster had nothing to say at this time and was on the verge of going berserk.

Of course, it's not to say that he really suffered much damage in the duel. After all, it wasn't him personally, he was just operating this robot called Ghost to fight from behind the scenes, and he didn't go into battle himself.

Although this kind of substitute fighting behavior would affect the level of Fate Power and make him unable to exert his full strength, generally, no matter how the substitute is beaten, it would not affect the main body.

So he actually wasn't really hurt, he was just completely angered.

Fireball, Fireball, endless Fireballs...

Especially in this last turn just now, he even boasted shamelessly about how he, the dignified Three Emperors of Iliaster, could be burned to death by something like a Fireball. And then before this turn was even over, he was burned to death.

So the big words he said earlier all became boomerangs, becoming slaps on his own face.

No, this was not just a defeat, this was humiliation!

In fact, Placido didn't have the thought of killing the opponent 100% this time. Just like when Placido first contacted Yusei and others in the original anime, he used a Ghost robot as a substitute, and this time he came to operate the robot with the idea of probing.

After all, they of Iliaster indeed lacked information about this person who replaced Goodwin. If the opponent's strength was average, then it would be most convenient to deal with him, and there was no need to spend more effort to investigate the origin and background of this person. And if the opponent was difficult to deal with, then losing was losing, at least he could probe for information and touch the reality.

But now it's different. After being humiliated by the opponent's infinite Fireball hell, this contact had begun to rise to the level of a grudge between dead people.

And the legendary Black Luster Soldier, is this how its true power is used?

Placido began to doubt in his heart.

Black Luster Soldier had disappeared in this dimension for a long time and was already a legendary background monster. Although they of Iliaster had the ability to travel through time, they didn't go to earlier timelines much, and they had never fought against an opponent holding Black Luster Soldier.

Could it be that this is really the correct way to use Black Luster Soldier?

After being burned by the infinite Fireballs, the Ghost's situation was also quite miserable. The black coat was burned through, one arm was blown off, electric sparks were jumping in the broken arm, the eyes were empty and lost their luster, and it looked like it had been scrapped.

Even the D-Wheel parked behind him suddenly exploded with a bang the moment he was defeated. The built-in perpetual motion machine was automatically scrapped, radiating arcs and firelight outward, and quickly burned into a pile of scrap iron.

Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward and checked the opponent's Duel Disk, but found that the deck loaded in the Duel Disk had already started to self-immolate.

"Copy card, huh." Fujiki You Xuan said.

It seemed that in order to prevent the Meklord Emperor from falling into the hands of others, the cards used from the beginning were copy cards, set to execute a self-destruction program immediately upon defeat.

Using Ghost as a medium for remote dueling itself was a loss of the duelist's Fate Power, and using non-original copy cards would further reduce strength. The Placido encountered this time probably exerted at most 50% or 60% of his usual full strength, and although he lost, he was probably still unconvinced.

But it doesn't matter, Fujiki You Xuan also welcomes him to come again at any time.

"But to think it was Iliaster..."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the burning wreckage of the D-Wheel on the highway, pondering with his chin in his hand.

This actually made him slightly surprised.

Could it be that the force that has been making trouble behind the scenes all along is really related to Iliaster, to the final villain of 5D's, Zone?

But why? If different dimensions collide, it shouldn't be consistent with their purpose. Aren't they trying to prevent the destruction of humanity and create a bright future for this world?

Silent Magician appeared beside him and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Hmm?"

Fujiki You Xuan turned his head to look at her and met her eyes.

"I see." Fujiki You Xuan nodded, "You mean, Iliaster may not necessarily be the enemy."

Silent nodded gently.

"Indeed." Fujiki You Xuan pondered, "If viewed from their perspective, I, a person who has no trace in history at all, appeared out of thin air and replaced Goodwin, which might indeed be considered a disturber of history."

"In that case, it might indeed be considered an enemy of their organization."

After a pause, he rubbed his temples.

"But if that's the case, then the one who released the future Goodwin into this timeline and tried to erase the Signers and destroy history must be another mastermind behind the scenes."

"In other words, now on the surface, there is a confrontation between the two major camps of Signers and Dark Signers, and then secretly there is my side, the unknown mastermind side, and then there is Zone and his Iliaster..."

Undercurrents are surging, and I always feel that the situation seems to be more complicated.

When Yusei was imprisoned in the detention center before, that future Goodwin directly ordered people to erase him. This approach should indeed be inconsistent with Iliaster's philosophy.

Although Zone seems to be a villain in the plot, he actually has expectations for Yusei's possibilities in his heart. Throughout the entire plot of the anime, Zone's shadow has always been hidden in the dark, and sometimes he even intentionally guides Yusei's evolution to help him break through the predicament, including the final time Zone entered the game himself, expecting Yusei to create a miracle and defeat himself.

Somewhere in Zone's heart, he always believed that Yusei had the possibility to change history and create a better future. Such a Zone has no reason to arrange a pawn to erase Yusei in advance while he is weak.

However, Iliaster itself is an organization that exists to correct history, so even if the mastermind enemy is not them, they might know something.

Now that there are no other clues, contacting them might be a direction.

Fujiki You Xuan pondered, the Security Bureau is a pawn planted here by Iliaster to secretly manipulate New Domino City, so conversely, the secrets of the Security Bureau might also hide clues related to Iliaster, and he could find a chance to contact them next.

Besides that, there is currently another line, which is the battle between the Signers and Dark Signers on the surface.

Last time Fujiki You Xuan accidentally encountered the Skeleton Knight, he found something strange on the Skeleton Knight. It felt like Rudger from two different dimensions was fighting for that body, and the two souls were conflicting with each other. This is somewhat similar to Goodwin's situation before, and it might also be related to the person Fujiki You Xuan wants to investigate.

Next, the war will break out, and the Dark Signers should also start to surface. Taking this opportunity to find Rudger and investigate is also a good clue.

Just as he thought of this, Fujiki You Xuan suddenly sensed something.

He stood on the side of the highway, looking into the distance, and saw the purple-black lines burning on the clouds above the opposite side of the city, in the direction of the Satellite, forming a huge Nazca pattern, with purple flames burning fiercely.

"Oh? It's already started so quickly, the battle has already broken out."

Fujiki You Xuan pondered.

"Is it Yusei?"
