Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1525 The Death of Vector

You Xuan frowned slightly.

Are you sure you haven't misremembered the name?

Vector looked at him irritably: "Do you think I look like someone with such a bad memory that I would forget something like this?"

You Xuan pondered silently.

Zorc. Anyone familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh! in his past life would probably never forget this name, let alone the most unique-looking boss in Yu-Gi-Oh! history with that piece of performance art between his legs.

You Xuan thinks that if there were a ranking of the "most unforgettable bosses" in the world, then the Great Evil God Zorc would definitely be in the top three.

Regardless, Zorc is a crucial milestone in the history of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, and the only boss in history to have been fortunate enough to be hit by the God of Light.

Atem sacrificed his true name to perish alongside Zorc three thousand years ago, and then wandered as an unnamed pharaoh for three thousand years. Therefore, Zorc is not only the pharaoh's nemesis, but it is also the starting point of everything.

However, although the Great Evil God Zorc is undoubtedly a top-tier boss with the power to destroy the world, judging from his achievements in the anime, his card skills don't seem to be very good.

Even the final battle in the original story involved everyone directly summoning Pokémon to fight. Some argue that if Zorc hadn't done his fancy Pokémon Ancient Egypt DLC and had just played cards honestly, he might have been instantly defeated by Pharaoh, and there wouldn't have been any role for Zorc afterward.
So if what Vector said is true, then the shadowy figure that has appeared from time to time in the dimensions of Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, etc., as if it were orchestrating everything behind the scenes, is the Great Evil God Zorc.

You Xuan frowned.

He was quite certain that Zorc in his world was already dead, killed by the God of Light himself, and there was no possibility of him coming back to life, right?
It's hard to say for sure. However, Yu Xuan personally leans towards the idea that this might be Zorc from another parallel universe.

He had already witnessed this in the 5DS dimension; not every parallel world or dimension will necessarily follow the trajectory of the original work.

In some of these worlds, the protagonists might fail, while the villains might succeed, and if that happens, that dimension will go out of control.

What if, in some other dimension, the game and Atem's team make a mistake?

If the game fails to uncover Atem's true name in time, and if the Creator God of Light doesn't intervene in the end, then the Pharaoh will lose, and the world will be destroyed. The Great Evil God Zorc will grow stronger and stronger in a world engulfed in darkness.

No one can say for sure how strong he will become, what level he will evolve to, or what he will do next.

Perhaps once he evolves strong enough and gets too bored in the infinite darkness, he'll start sweeping through other multiverses one by one for fun.

Of course, this is just You Xuan's personal conjecture.

"."

"finally."

Having fulfilled his final mission, Vector seemed to have finally been squeezed dry of his last drop of value. His knowledge of Zorc was limited to knowing the name and that the other possessed absolute power far surpassing his own and all of the Seven Emperors.

Finally, he received You Xuan's permission to die.

In fact, Vector had not never fantasized about his final moment.

He had imagined his failure, he had imagined his death. But what he hadn't expected were the images that flashed before his eyes at the moment of his death.

All those memories, from his past life to this one.

Born a prince who symbolizes peace, he clashed with his war-loving father, lost his parents, and then destroyed all the nations with his own sword, executed every enemy and friend, until he was left all alone.
Even now, he doesn't regret his path or his choices, even though those paths have been distorted and interfered with by others.

He had no regrets. But even in these final moments, he couldn't help but wonder if things would have been better if he hadn't been interfered with, if he had continued on the path of the peaceful prince named Victor.

He'll probably never know.

Bekuta is dead.

Unfortunately, Youxuan had considered whether the thousands of sovereigns—or at least the remnants of the thousands of sovereigns—would still reside in Vector, but it seems that they don't at the moment.

Vector broke the seal of the Thousand Lords, but the Thousand Lords only gave him a portion of their power; their true forms were not here.

Throughout the duel just now, the consciousness of the thousands of masters never appeared, and Vector only showed a small amount of similar power fluctuations.

Drubey looked at Vector, which disintegrated into energy and dissipated, with a complicated expression.

Just before Yuugen appeared, Vector was planning to kill, or even absorb and devour, him. From this perspective, Vector was already his mortal enemy, and watching him die—in a rather tragic way—should have been incredibly satisfying for him.

But in fact, he didn't think so.

After all, the other party was one of the Seven Emperors, and for a long time he had indeed regarded Vector as a colleague, and even thought that they could live and die together. Now, watching Vector being destroyed, he felt a myriad of thoughts and complex emotions.

“Now that Vector is dead,” Yu Xuan said, watching the dust settle on the ground. “Can I consider this a temporary truce between the Varia dimension and my world?”

“Of course.” Druby sighed. “After what we’ve just gone through, and the truth about our origins, which you already know, I’m starting to doubt everything.”

Drubey shook his head.

"I don't want to fight anymore, and I don't want to fight anyone."

You Xuan said, "But you and the Starlight Realm are sworn enemies, aren't you?"

Druby sighed softly.

"I'm afraid so."

The Balian Realm and the Astral Realm are mortal enemies; a ceasefire isn't something either side can simply decide to end. They'll most likely have to continue fighting.

Drubey turned to look at him: "So, you'll be helping the Astral Realm next?"

“No, that’s none of my business.” You Xuan shrugged. “But if you want me to tell you the truth? I don’t think you have much of a chance.”

Although this matter concerns the Varia and the Starry Sky, Yuma Tsukumo, and even Kaito Amagi, will not stand idly by.

Now that Vector is dead, and the Seven Emperors and their original backers, the Thousand Lords, have developed an irreconcilable conflict, the situation of the Varia faction does indeed look dire.

You Xuan tilted his head and thought for a moment: "That being, the guy named Zorc, said that he would tell you what to do after you take down the Fusion Dimension."

“Yes. But previously, it was mostly Vector who negotiated with that guy,” Drubey said. “So what?”

"That means he's very likely to come back and come looking for you again."

You Xuan smiled.

"So I have a better proposal. How about we try collaborating?"
