Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1672 Setting Sail Again
You Xuan gave the Seafood Head Kings a general explanation of the differences between Master Rule 3 and the previous ones. Although everyone seemed surprised, those present were, after all, more or less professional cheaters and didn't exactly have much respect for duel rules, so their ability to accept it was quite strong.

Yugi Muto, in particular, is the original Duel King, having come from the very earliest era.

If we're talking about Dark Game, then it's even more incredible. Pharaoh Man got hooked on it three thousand years ago, back in the Pokémon era of constant battles, then went through the Duel Kingdom era with its no-tribute system of ordinary monsters hacking and slashing, and finally to Duel City where the concept of high-level monsters requiring tributes was first introduced.
The Pharaoh has seen more of the world than any of his successors have ever known, so there's nothing that can truly surprise him anymore. In comparison, the changes in Master Rule 3 aren't exactly groundbreaking updates for the game duo; at best, they're just a major patch.

Actually, along with the changes to Master Rule 3, another even more important rule was implemented.

That's the new summoning method, Pendulum Summoning.

However, before setting off, You Xuan made a point of asking ZONE a few more questions yesterday. Although ZONE hasn't gathered much information about the Academy Dimension yet, they have indeed made some progress in the area of ​​summoning magic.

As we already know, in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, various summoning methods actually play a very important role in the underlying laws of the world.

Just as in the Synchro Dimension, Synchro can destroy the world or create the future, Summoning methods in each different world also play an important role to some extent.

Therefore, each summoning technique naturally generates a highly distinctive energy. If a summoning technique exists in a certain dimension, and there are many users among the duelists, then that world will inevitably release a large amount of energy corresponding to that summoning technique.

It was a vast amount of energy with a unique and easily identifiable quality, so it wasn't difficult to observe. By observing energy at specific frequencies, one could basically determine what kind of summoning methods existed in that dimension.

During his prior observations at ZONE, he clearly told Youxuan that the Academy Dimension did indeed have fusion, synchronization, and super-energy reactions, and that these reactions were extremely powerful.

However, when Yu Xuan asked if there were any other new summoning methods, ZONE clearly stated that there were none, or at least based on the observation results, there were none.

This made You Xuanxin slightly concerned. If this dimension truly corresponds to "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V," then logically, the main summoning method in this generation should be the newly introduced Pendulum Summoning. However, according to ZONE, this dimension doesn't seem to have the power of the Pendulum Summoning yet.
Could it be that it hasn't been printed yet?
It's not impossible. Unlike previous works, the Pendulum Summoning Technique is something that the protagonist, Yuya Sakaki, awakens and gains a power-up during a duel in the anime, creating the spell on the spot.

Yes, you heard me right.

With the arrival of Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, the colorful seafood heads were no longer satisfied with just drawing cards, printing cards, and modifying card text on the spot. This generation started to directly rewrite the rules and print duel disks.

Yuya Sakaki deliberately added two extra squares to his Duel Disk, calling them "Pendulum Zones." His dueling arena was completely different from everyone else's, which is quite outrageous even in the world of cheat codes.
Speaking of pendulums, they're actually a somewhat awkward concept in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Compared to other new summoning methods in previous games, pendulums are probably one of the less successful ones in terms of promotion, perhaps partly due to the failure of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V series, to the point that even the official developers seem to have given up on them.

Even in the sixth installment, Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains, everything from Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link to all the summoning methods from previous generations was brought up and discussed, but Pendulum was never mentioned at all, as if even Konami had given up on it.

I don't know what the situation is like in that academy across the street, but it seems there's no pendulum summoning yet. After a brief meeting, Youxuan immediately went to his various research institutes in his dimension to assign tasks and harvest resources, which took about another day.

These past few days, the seafood kings have been keeping busy, engaging in intense duels and exchanges with each other.

You Xuan's plan was quickly proven to be highly effective. These kings from different dimensions learned from each other's dueling knowledge from different dimensions and eras during their duels. In addition, they shared similar values ​​and appreciated each other, so the cards often got heated up as they played.

When the Duel King card game gets exciting, wouldn't it be a good idea to print some small cards to enhance the atmosphere?

As their friendship rapidly deepened during the duel, their decks were also being strengthened at a visible pace.

In addition, Youxuan has an incredibly rich card library for them to choose from, allowing them to directly select existing cards to add to their decks to strengthen them. At the same time, there is also a top-notch card printing team to provide logistical support. In just a few days, the protagonists' decks have almost undergone a generational upgrade.

With all preparations complete and their bags packed, it's finally time for this cross-dimensional dueling king team to set sail once again.

This time, even their vehicles have been upgraded for dimensional travel. Previously, they could only rely on the D-Wheel to travel between dimensions, but this time, they have their own independent spaceship.

This is all thanks to the generous sponsorship of classmate Jiujiu Youma, who contributed his personal dimensional travel spaceship, the Emperor's Key.

The Imperial Key is the small pendant that Yuma usually wears on his chest. It's made with Astral Technology and is designed for dimensional travel. When unfolded, it has ample space, and when folded, it's small enough to fit in a pocket, making it an essential dimensional travel gadget for both home and travel.

Of course, the Emperor's Key was originally designed for travel between the Astral Realm, the Balian Realm, and the human world. To travel to the more distant multiverse, some minor modifications are needed.

Thanks to Taiyi and the logistics team of Haima Group working overtime, they successfully installed a simple perpetual motion machine for D-Wheel inside the Emperor's Key and added a power system that imitates D-Wheel.

In this way, the Emperor's Key became a giant dimensional voyage D-ship, or perhaps it should be called a D-ship; in any case, it gained the ability to travel between dimensions.

With just one person at the helm to ensure the course stays on track, everyone can eat, sleep, play cards, and socialize on board during the voyage, making it much easier than a D-class cruise.

If time allowed, You Xuan even considered building a laboratory on the ship, recruiting dimensional research scholars, card-printing experts, and other talents discovered in various dimensions to form a mobile logistics department.
Unfortunately, the departure time was too tight this time, so we'll have to do it another time.
