Chapter 868

An unknown void, a starry background, with meteors passing by from time to time. A figure in white robes sat in this void.

"Hee hee hee, that guy Placido... clearly boasted, saying it really sounded like that, but the result was miserable."

Luciano covered his mouth and giggled strangely, squinting his eyes and shaking his head.

Placido, who was sitting opposite, had blood-red eyes and just glared at him fiercely.

"Want to die?"

Luciano was not afraid at all: "Is that so? Then come on, who is afraid of whom..."

"Enough!"

The oldest elder among the trio, He Sai, spoke.

Luciano stuck out his tongue and sat back in the seat that was a bit too huge for him, his pair of short legs dangling in the air.

Placido opposite snorted and turned his head away, not speaking anymore.

"You were indeed reckless, Placido." He Sai looked at him and said in a critical tone, "Even if this guy is an 'anomaly', he is not an ordinary 'anomaly'."

"We of Iliaster should have known everything about history, but the appearance of this person has no background, and there is no trace to follow even in the timelines we have known in the past."

"Such a character is definitely not an ordinary person..."

Placido said coldly: "So your meaning is that we should avoid him and let him be?"

"That is not my original words, Placido." He Sai said, "But no matter what, our every move represents God's will, and we should act cautiously at all times."

"At least before we figure out the details of this person..."

"Extremely boring!"

Placido stood up abruptly and strode out.

He Sai said: "Where are you going, Placido?"

"Need you ask, of course, it's to find him and fight again." Placido snorted, "Just now I only used the Ghost machine to fight on my behalf, and I only used a copy deck."

"If I went personally, how could I be..."

He didn't finish speaking, but in his mind, the annoying smile of the white-haired guy with Goodwin's face appeared again, and he revealed that card in his hand again and again: "Eat this, Fireball!"

"Fireball!"

"Fireball Fireball Fireball!"

"."

Too annoying!

If this grudge is not reported, is he still worthy of being one of the three supreme Emperors of Iliaster?

Luciano fanned the flames on the side again, giggling: "It's also thanks to you not going out in person just now, and using a copy deck."

"If you went yourself, wouldn't the Meklord power bestowed by God be cheap for outsiders?"

Placido was even more furious: "Are you trying to say I will lose!?"

"Well, who knows about that?" Luciano giggled.

"You..."

"I said enough!"

He Sai interrupted and glanced at Luciano.

"You also say less."

Luciano shrugged and didn't speak.

"Placido, Luciano's words also make sense. This person's background is unknown, and his strength cannot be seen at all. If you fail yourself, it's fine, but if you destroy our plan and violate God's will..."

Placido snorted, although he didn't speak, he didn't walk out anymore.

Although he was unruly, he was also incomparably in awe of the 'God' in He Sai's mouth. His personal honor and disgrace were small, but if it really destroyed God's layout because of this, it would be terrible.

"Then are we just going to watch here?" Placido was annoyed.

"No. At this rate, that 'anomaly' among the Dark Signers should probably fight him soon, right?"

He Sai said in a deep voice.

"Maybe we can see something from the collision between the two sides, before that, let's stay put."

Placido snorted again, but didn't express opposition.

"Be patient, Placido." He Sai said in a deep voice, "This person is not in our original plan, maybe God will have special arrangements for this person."

At the same time, the battle between the Signers and Dark Signers officially broke out.

Still the same as in the original work, the Dark Signer Yusei faced was Kalin, the user of the maverick no-hand-card deck 'Infernity', and also one of Yusei's good buddies in the Satellite back then.

Back then, Kalin and Yusei and others all had life-and-death friendships. But later, Kalin mistakenly thought that Yusei and others had become traitors and reported him to the Security Bureau, and after death, he was chosen to become a Dark Signer, and returned to take revenge on Yusei after gaining the power of the Earthbound Immortal.

Infernity in the Synchro era was still a quite powerful deck. 'No-hand-card combination', as the name suggests, this deck can only exert power when the hand is zero, and most cards' effects can only be triggered when there is no hand card.

Before it was turned into a physical card, everyone would think it was an acrobatic second-rate deck, because the unprecedented weird concept of 'getting rid of hand cards as fast as possible' seemed useless for the environment where card advantage was supreme back then.

But after it was turned into a physical card, the fact is that this deck immediately caused a huge impact on the environment, and even jumped into a top-tier competitive deck.

Yusei in the anime can also be considered to have handed over his precious first blood in the entire 5D's here. When facing Kalin for the first time, facing the Earthbound Immortal's terrible ability to ignore monsters and attack players directly, Yusei should have lost.

It was also this battle that gave birth to Yusei's famous 'pulling the screw' scene that has been passed down through the ages. Yusei, who should have lost after taking a slap from the Earthbound Immortal, had his D-Wheel malfunction and crashed halfway, and the duel was forcibly terminated, so he saved his life.

From the result, this card game was not finished, it should be said that it was a draw, but in fact, Yusei should have lost.

However, that was largely because Yusei suffered from information asymmetry. Unable to defend with monsters and completely immune to Traps, such an Earthbound Immortal was indeed too easy to be killed by a first-time encounter in a Riding Duel.

But the world line changed, and when Bommer came to take revenge on 'Director Goodwin' before, he had already used the Earthbound Immortal in advance. Yusei also watched that battle and already knew about the existence of the Earthbound Immortal held by the Dark Signers, so the disadvantage of information asymmetry was largely erased.

Yusei, who was prepared for the Earthbound Immortal in advance, was slightly better than the Dark Signer Kalin. Therefore, he won the battle against Kalin in the first battle this time, and the famous scene of pulling the screw did not appear again.

In addition, the Dark Signer that Jack faced in his destiny was still the same as in the original work, the unknown small reporter Carly Carmine.

In the original work, Carly originally sneaked into the Arcadia Movement to investigate and was killed by Sayer before becoming a Dark Signer. Fujiki You Xuan killed Sayer, although the world line changed, Carly seemed to have not escaped the fate of becoming a Dark Signer.

Carly in this world line was still the same as in the original work, meeting Jack who fell from the altar after the Fortune Cup ended. After the two spent a short time together, Jack said goodbye to Carly and embarked on the road to fight the Dark Signers. As a result, Carly 'accidentally' fell from the overpass that night and died accidentally, and then was chosen to become a Dark Signer as if it were destined.

"Interesting."

Fujiki You Xuan, who was watching the battle of the Signers through the monitoring of the Security Bureau, muttered.

"Does this mean that who will become a Dark Signer is the same as who is a Signer, all destined fate?"
