Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1384 Dangerous Dimension

Professional duelist Ed Phoenix secured a spectacular victory, adding another point to the Fusion Dimension's score.

If there were an entity from outside this dimension observing the conflict between these two dimensions, it would probably be starting to feel sympathy for the simple duelists of the Hyperdimension and wondering how this trend of dimensional fusion had developed to its current state.

Judging from the current situation of the battle between the elite players from both sides, the style of the Xyz Dimension side is quite normal. It is the ace-specialized deck that is popular in most Duel Dimensions. The deck is designed to summon the ace as quickly as possible, and is combined with various cards that are specifically designed to help the ace unleash its strongest power. This makes the game feel like a hot-blooded fantasy battle has been put into the framework of card games.

But things are different in the Fusion Dimension. The cards here give the impression that the ultimate goal of the game is to send the opponent to the ICU through this duel—and that's without risking your life. The cards rely purely on applying rage pressure to the opponent's heart, blood pressure, and lungs to achieve the effect of inflicting Dark Duel damage in a normal duel.

Sometimes, these Fusion Dogs even give the illusion that their annoying nature takes precedence over the victory itself. Unless you're playing a risky hand, it's hard to say whether the winner or loser profited from playing against them, since winning against these dogs can sometimes be incredibly frustrating.

Of course, the best outcome is usually winning the game while also infuriating someone, just like what happened now. Sure enough, after the game, even the Hanno knights around were chatting and laughing, all looking quite happy.

Their conversation undoubtedly revolved around the new Destiny HERO card that Edward pulled out. However, it wasn't the one that looked like an ace, the Dystopian. Compared to this new ace fusion monster, the Knights of Hanno seemed more interested in the 1-star, 0-attack "Dark Angel" that looked like a weakling.

Everyone was talking about it, saying that this hero of destiny was truly happy, and that he had the demeanor of our organization's leader.

Although everyone knows that Edward's Destiny Heroes series was exclusively developed by his father and is Edward's exclusive series, they find it hard to believe that the Birth of the Dark Angel has nothing to do with their unspeakable leader, the Knights of Hanoi.

To be fair, while Destiny heroes are relatively darker compared to Elemental heroes, their art style wasn't this skewed before. Now, suddenly a hero appears on the opposing team's field who can pull off a spell ban, it feels like the Virgin Mary in a Renaissance painting has been redrawn by AI as a cyberpunk cyborg, the art style has gone completely off track.

This style of pulling the opponent's defense on the opposing side and then depriving them of their right to play is indeed very similar to a certain unnamed leader surnamed Zuo in the Knights of Hanno, so it is easy to think that this person probably played an important role in the development of new cards.

IV, from the Hyperdimension, was completely out of it after being dealt this card. Although he had questions to ask, Edward was only ever in charge of playing cards; interrogation, questioning, and investigating clues were mostly not his responsibility. So Edward had someone pack up this extradimensional being, and someone else would take care of the rest.

"Oh, and remember to contact your revolver leader."

Edward finally explained.

"Tell him what happened tonight, especially emphasizing NO. and the existence of the power to advance."

He paused here, tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if he felt that this matter was of great importance and deserved serious attention, so he waved his hand and changed his mind, saying, "Never mind, I'll go and talk to him myself."

The next day, Youxuan learned about the situation on Edward's side.

Edward felt the most important information concerned the existence of "rank-up." Xyz Monsters could directly rank up to "Chaos" Monsters, a higher rank, through Spell Cards; this process was also known as "Chaosification." Moreover, from the perspective of Monster Spirits, the power of Spirits after Chaosification underwent a qualitative leap, becoming more sinister and domineering, and the strength of the destiny power bestowed upon Duelists also soared to an astonishing level.

Edward felt this was very important information, and that he needed to be wary when facing opponents from the Xyz Dimension, and also be aware of the possibility of this evolution during his own Xyz development.

However, You Xuan remained quite calm about this important information, since he already knew about it.

Stacking is one of the key features of Xyz Dimension. Stacking and transforming Xyz Monsters has become a characteristic of Xyz, and it has been overused in the physical card market.

Furthermore, anyone who has played cards knows that the ultimate goal of Xyz Monsters is to become a Gundam. Any Xyz Monster, after going through a series of stacking events, will eventually end up on the path of becoming a world-destroying Gundam.
The Rank 12 Xyz Monster, Arzeus, looks basically like a Gundam. It can be summoned from almost any Xyz Monster, and after it appears, it has the ability to "send two materials to the Graveyard and all other cards." Then, as if it were a printing error, it adds a note saying "this effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn." What's even more outrageous is that it doesn't even mention once per turn.

When this thing suddenly appeared, people thought its effect was so overpowered that it was printed incorrectly. It was even regarded as the end of Xyz – because no matter what Xyz deck you play or what Xyz monster you summon, the final outcome seems to be to drive a Gundam and destroy the world.

Therefore, it was only natural that after the discovery that Xyz Summoning was possible in this dimension, "Skybreaker Aeus" was immediately listed as a key development project by Yu Xuan. However, unfortunately, it seems that this world is not ready to welcome Gundam, and at present, there is no possibility of starting its development.

Even when You Xuan mentioned his ideas to each of the experts in the development team, they would look at him as if he were a monster.

A Rank 12 Xyz Monster can be randomly generated from any Xyz Monster, without the option to send all monsters to the Graveyard once per turn, and can be activated during the opponent's turn.
Why don't you just go to heaven?

While card development in this world doesn't really consider game balance, most cards that can be designed inherently have a limit. You can't just haphazardly write an effect and fill in some random data to become invincible.

So the designers' first reaction upon hearing this concept was, "Mr. You Xuan is drunk and wants to defy the heavens." If such an overpowered mecha were actually designed, wouldn't this monster spirit be so powerful it would defy the heavens?

Actually, their thinking isn't entirely wrong. According to the background setting of the Katu story, the Heavenly Court-Azeus was originally a mecha with the ability to destroy stars. It was called "the ultimate and final blow for mankind to eliminate disasters," and it was the ultimate fighting force for mankind to resist fate. Its lightning was enough to scorch the sky, shatter planets, and even kill gods.

Unfortunately, such a cheat code cannot be created at the present stage, so You Xuan can only put the Heavenly Court project on hold for the time being.

The good news is that although we couldn't pilot the Gundam, at least we can play with the loli.

The first set of the Trapbot series has been released.
