Chapter 979: The King's Confusion

Fake Jack: "Ah ah ah ah—"

The ear-piercing sound of metal tearing through the track echoed as the front wheel bearing of the Wheel of Fortune D-Wheel completely disintegrated under Trishula's final blow. Hydraulic oil gushed out from the burst lines like blood, mixing with the condensed nitrogen into an eerie steam cloud. When Trishula's absolute zero breath swept across the cockpit, Jack being thrown out looked like slow-motion playback, his white trench coat fluttering in the air, but the skin on his face began to crack like inferior silicone.

This "human body" rolled continuously on the asphalt road for seven and a half times, each impact causing even more violent mechanical failures. The left arm was the first to break at a reverse angle, the elbow hydraulic rod piercing the bionic skin, and the splashing blue coolant dragging a ten-meter-long fluorescent trail on the road. When the torso hit the guardrail, the chest and abdomen suddenly burst open, revealing the precisely arranged motor devices inside, which were already crackling with electric sparks.

The fake Jack finally crashed at the edge of the track, his only remaining right hand still clutching that ice-sealed "Red Dragon Archfiend." Electric sparks continued to burst from his spinal joints, and intermittent electronic sounds came from his artificial vocal cords.

"You... you... you..."

He struggled to lift his head, looking in Fujiki You Xuan's direction, looking like he was gritting his teeth, but it seemed quite difficult for him to make a sound.

"I am the King, I am Jack... I... impossible to be in a place like this..."

The unfinished sentence was interrupted by the explosion of the main power supply being blown, completely turning into a pile of mechanical debris emitting blue smoke.

The fake Jack had lost.

Fujiki You Xuan performed a drift brake, stopping gracefully on the side of the road. Behind him, the real Jack followed closely, stopping the Wheel of Fortune and looking at this pile of debris.

"A robot?" The real Jack's eyes moved slightly.

"Yeah." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Your replica, it seems you're quite a celebrity."

Jack pondered in silence, looking down at this "himself" on the ground who had already exploded and looked quite miserable, and the Wheel of Fortune on the side that was identical to his own but had already crashed, his expression complex for a moment.

Although he was dismissive of the fake on the surface, this fake could actually be considered to have earned his respect.

This was also natural. First of all, this fake had managed to get such a high-fidelity Wheel of Fortune from somewhere, plus the replica card of Red Dragon Archfiend, it could almost be said to be a copy of Jack himself.

Although the failure in the duel before was because Jack's own Dao heart was wavering, and he was suppressed by the opponent in terms of the duelist's momentum. But regardless of the reason, he lost, and the opponent won a game against him; this was a fact.

And such a super high-fidelity robot, a machine that he thought had strength equivalent to his own, was now beaten to a pulp by Fujiki You Xuan and crashed into this state. If it were him facing him, would he have already...

Jack shook his head, no longer thinking about this question.

Forget it, this was also natural. Before, when he and Yusei and the others were three-on-one, they couldn't beat this freak; facing him alone, naturally there was no chance. What was he thinking?

The combo Fujiki You Xuan displayed this time made him feel a bit palpitated again. Rescue Cat, Premature Burial, Brionac—a few cards easily earned almost infinite resources, easily finishing off the opponent in an instant. This combo was too heaven-defying.

Oh right, and the dragon that flashed by at the end. Ice Barrier Dragon, Trishula.

Jack couldn't help but look at Fujiki You Xuan with a complex expression for a while.

Trishula, just that moment of appearance, but he also felt an extraordinary pressure from that dragon. Was that Fujiki You Xuan's dragon as a Dragon Mark holder?

The gap between him and this person... exactly how big was it?

However, it was natural for Jack to be shocked by this combo.

Just kidding, this was a collection of the power of several forbidden cards. First of all, Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, goes without saying; it was a perennial forbidden card before its effect was castrated. Rescue Cat was the same; precisely because it had the heaven-defying nature of "equivalent to Normal Summoning Brionac," it was sentenced to seven years in prison starting in 2010, and was only released on parole in 2017 after its effect was castrated. It was only after half a year of observation after release that it performed well and was completely liberated.

Premature Burial, goes without saying, is still a forbidden card today...

There are even archaeologists who believe that although Premature Burial had records of being used in conjunction with cards like "Giant Trunade" to achieve self-recovery and repeated use since the DM era, this alone was not enough to convict it and send it to prison. Not to mention that its accomplice, Giant Trunade, was banned very early, so Premature Burial had even less reason to be banned.

So for a long time, Premature Burial was actually just a limited card, not a forbidden card. This card was truly banned in September 2008, which was exactly the period when Brionac began to dominate the competitive environment.

So archaeologists have sufficient evidence to argue that the reason Premature Burial was banned back then was precisely because of Brionac and Rescue Cat.

You only need one Premature Burial and one Rescue Cat in your hand, and the two of them can return an entire world to you...

Seeing Jack looking down at the pile of debris on the ground, Fujiki You Xuan suddenly smiled: "What? Has the former King lost confidence because he was hit by this fake?"

"What did you say?"

Jack immediately looked up, and the beast-like light reappeared in his eyes that had just been a bit confused.

"Will the real Jack Atlas lose confidence? Never! Even until the end of the world, I will continue to fight, and one day I will surpass you!"

"Hahaha, that's good."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and nodded, looking at the mechanical debris on the side that was still smoking.

"The appearance of this thing probably means that a new enemy will attack soon."

Jack's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Do you know something? Who dares to make such a fake of me?"

"I don't know, but it definitely won't be with any good intentions." Fujiki You Xuan looked at Jack, "But I think this experience is probably enough to tell you one thing, Jack Atlas.

Falling from the throne is not a fall for you, but progress. But if you doubt yourself because of a few whispers from your past shadow, then this transformation was in vain."

Jack's heart moved, but he still had a tsundere face on the surface: "Hmph hmph, I know that without you telling me!"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled: "It's good that you know. You too, Yusei too, you will both soon awaken new power and move toward a broader stage. Of course, the process of evolution will not be easy, it may be accompanied by pain, and may even be accompanied by danger.

But if you feel you are ready... I suggest you go see Bommer when you have time during the WRGP break."

"Bommer?"

Jack was stunned instantly.

That former Dark Signer?
