Chapter 917: The Face-less Underworld King

The head of the Delta Eagle began to spray a large amount of steam, and the speed began to slow down. The track in the void began to disappear continuously under the two people's bikes, until the space where the two were located returned to a pure white void, and nothing was left.

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan's D-Wheel also slowly stopped to the side of the Delta Eagle.

The two returned to this void pure white space. Antinomy got off the bike first, took off his helmet, and nodded slightly to Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan in a relatively respectful manner.

Antinomy took continuous deep breaths, and then slowly said: "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan."

"Not at all."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan also got off the bike and smiled.

"Just lucky to win by a move or two, nothing worth mentioning. Let's communicate and spar more when you have time."

Antinomy smiled and didn't answer.

It is true that he gained a lot from this duel, he witnessed the legendary Evil God, and personally experienced the overwhelming momentum of a King above him. However, even if he gained a lot, if he were to do it again, he didn't have that idea yet.

This King gives people a very peculiar feeling. Clearly, you feel that sparring with him can benefit a lot, but it gives people the feeling that he is the kind of opponent you wouldn't be idle enough to want to find to relieve your card addiction.

How to say... there is always a feeling that the cards are finished, and the chest is uncomfortable.

A deck built entirely of pits plus Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, specialized for red pits, but if you can say something like "dueling brings smiles to people" in such a card game, it only shows that you are definitely not opposite this guy.

At this time, Zone's phantom appeared again, and said lightly: "Digest this experience well, you still have a chance to go further, Antinomy."

Pausing, Zone said somewhat tiredly: "In this way, you should be able to more effectively promote the transformation of Yusei Fudo later..."

Antinomy nodded: "Yes."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan looked at Antinomy: "Your mission is to help Yusei Fudo achieve evolution?"

In the original work, the future quartet has their own tasks in this timeline. Zone is the layout planner who controls the overall situation from behind the scenes. He planned Yusei's life trajectory from the moment Yusei was born, arranged for the awakening of the Dark Signers and the battle of the Signers, used battle after battle to temper Yusei's progress, and even sent Yusei the stone tablet of "Shooting Star Dragon" that Yusei should have printed many years later in the original history in advance.

Taiyi's three emperors, that is, the three clones of Zone's subordinate general Aporia, their purpose is to challenge Team 5D's as opponents on the surface.

And Antinomy, as a companion, mixed into the side of the protagonists, taught Yusei knowledge, guided him to the correct path of evolution, and at the same time served as a companion and mentor.

From behind the scenes to teammates to opponents, looking at the entire development of 5D's, it can be said that every aspect of Yusei was arranged clearly by Zone, almost as meticulous as a nanny. Deep down, Zone actually very much hopes that Yusei can show potential beyond his expectations and rewrite the future.

"Everyone only knows that Duel Monsters have star levels, but they don't know that duelists also have levels."

Zone said in a flat tone.

"Duelists start with one star as an introduction, and eight stars as legends. Duelists who can be called legends are already strong people who have left a name in later generations no matter in which era, and are benchmarks for their respective eras."

Dividing duelists by star level, Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan remembers that there is such a division in the Kaiba Corporation of his dimension. But that star level is based on the actual battle record of the duelist, and has subjective color of Kaiba Corporation, and is rarely mentioned in the master circle.

And the star level mentioned by Zone at this time gives Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan a different feeling, which is more like Zone's own set of evaluation systems.

This legend sounds like "legendary duelist," and this name makes Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan's first reaction think of some people in the legendary camp who rely on "having fought with the first Duel King" to make up the numbers, always feeling that the gold content is somewhat reduced.

But the legend mentioned by Zone may not include those legends in the mouths of the world, and should refer to the top geniuses of each era.

For example, in the current era, not to mention Yusei Fudo who is close to the Duel King, Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan and others around him, Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan guesses that the level is about eight stars, and such a level can also leave a name in the history of the dueling world, called a legend.

"Then what about the King?" Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said.

This time it was Antinomy who spoke on his behalf, saying: "In the history of the development of Duel Monsters, the three Egyptian Gods, three Evil Gods, and three Evil Gods are historical benchmarks, representing higher-dimensional existences that transcend ordinary monsters.

Evil Gods, Egyptian Gods, and Wicked Gods are all ten stars, transcending the ordinary superior rank.

Duelists are benchmarked against Duel Monsters, and crossing from nine stars to ten stars is the threshold for qualitative change, and ten stars and duelists below them are already worlds apart.

At the same time, we also refer to the history of the birth of the first 'Duel King' name. Yugi Mutou defeated Seto Kaiba and Marik Ishtar, became the master of the three Egyptian Gods, and obtained the first Duel King name in history.

The Egyptian Gods are all ten stars, and have been regarded as the symbol of the first generation of Kings for many years. Therefore, we also designate ten stars as Kings."

Zone's future quartet has long traveled in various different eras, and in countless timelines, it is very important for them to have a quantitative standard to measure the strength of duelists, which is why they established such a system.

"Yusei Fudo is now barely nine stars, which is far from enough to save this timeline."

Zone said calmly.

"That's why we need our intervention."

"So next is my... or rather, it's Godwin's appearance, right? I understand."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan nodded.

"Then, tell me the plan, what should I do."

A projection screen appeared in front of Zone's floating device, in which a huge altar appeared, and on that altar was a portrait composed of Nazca lines standing between heaven and earth, and its image looked like a vulture in the famous ground painting.

"In the original history, Lei Kesi Godwin tried to open the door to the Underworld and summon the descent of the Lord of the Underworld.

He has an altar hidden in the New Domino City area, and that altar echoes with the old perpetual motion machine in the Satellite area, starting the ritual to summon the Lord of the Underworld."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan remembered this plot and said: "The ritual of dueling with the Signers, right?"

"Not bad," Zone said, "Then you just need to be Lei Kesi Godwin and reproduce this ritual."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said: "Then we won't really open the door to the Underworld and call that whatever Underworld King to descend, right?"

"No need, the old perpetual motion machine is under our control."

Zone said calmly.

"Regardless of the outcome of the duel, the switch of the door is in our hands. That Underworld King may be able to descend into the world through the projection of the door to perform deterrence, and can also promote the deterrence and urgency to the Signers, promoting further evolution.

But in any case, the Underworld King cannot descend."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan raised his eyebrows.

So it means we are going to pull the Lord of the Underworld out like a dog for a walk, release some pressure to scare people, and then stuff it back into the door after using it?

Is this Underworld King so faceless?
