Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 373 Overlord and Hero

The world fell silent.

Perhaps it was because You Ming's response was too simple and straightforward that even the well-traveled Ba Wang was frozen in place.

Beneath the helmet, a distinctly human-like confusion even surfaced in those golden eyes.

In this situation, even a tyrant would probably have to ask this question:

"Don't you know anything at all?"

However, this question seemed very strange to You Ming:

Why should I know? I've only just arrived here!

"...I see. So, that guy didn't tell you anything?"

"Of course, you could also say that there wasn't much time. After all, we didn't really have much of a chance to chat before this attack, so I rushed out to fight the Radian aliens."

"So it's not too late to talk everything out now."

‘Zi La’

With a series of crackling electrical bursts, the last "Elemental Hero" arrived here.

"Electric Man—So, could you explain the background story here?"

"story……"

Upon hearing a certain word, Electro's aged voice visibly slowed for a moment.

He seemed to want to refute something, but in the end...

"If this were really just a story, perhaps everyone would feel a little better."

The aged head slowly shook, and Electro gradually turned his gaze to the still dark, night-like sky:

"First of all, it should be daytime now."

"Well, then what?"

"..."

"Why are you looking at me? Changing the weather is a common tactic."

Seeing the helpless expression on Electro's face, You Ming's lips also twitched.

This kind of situation is actually considered basic in the world of card games. Not to mention the weather changes caused by the God Card duels in the manga, starting from GX, the major events are getting more and more incredible.

"I can only say that it's not exactly rare. I've seen similar things in the elven realm, like the Dark Emission that would dye the sky black..."

Then, the moment the words left his mouth, You Ming suddenly felt something was off—why did this sound so familiar?
"I remember, Mr. Overlord seems to be one of the incarnations of the darkness of the universe?"

To be honest, Yu Ming doesn't really remember much about this aspect of the setting.

While GX's fragmented plot undeniably created a bunch of memorable characters and iconic scenes, its basic premise and storyline... well... haha.

But that's alright, the Overlord himself is right here:

"Just as you guessed, the eternal night in the sky is something I created, but it is the wish of the people living on this land."

Perhaps this should be considered a shocking fact, but after the Overlord's cold voice completely faded, Youming simply reached out and scratched his cheek:

"Well, to be honest, this doesn't seem so surprising anymore—is there something you're having trouble saying?"

Of course, the outcome was inevitable. Just as You Ming turned his gaze to the hero, a look of vicissitude appeared on Electro's face:
"This planet has been abandoned; beyond that darkness, there exists 'light'."

Of course, unlike the conventional worldview, light is obviously not a good thing in this place; many bosses use light as their source of power.

For example...

"The Light of Annihilation?"

"That's right, it's that seemingly bright and beautiful light that actually destroys everything. It spreads from the depths of the universe and erodes this universe."

Clearly, in the face of absolute supernatural power, astronomy and the like no longer exist.

And thinking along the most basic principles is:
"The Ladian aliens seemed to have said before that this planet had been abandoned, which means..."

"This planet has been illuminated by the light of destruction, which is like a poison, corrupting the hearts of each and every one of us."

…………

It's probably the kind of deus ex machina-like unfolding.

In a world dominated by heroes, the heroes defend everything in the world. When they unite, the so-called 'daily chapters' end, and one 'major event' after another takes their place.

Facing enemies from beyond the heavens, they took the lead and went to the front lines, defeating one seemingly invincible foe after another.

However, just as American comic book authors can never escape that framework, when one stronger enemy after another is defeated, and when the whole world truly becomes a utopia, the 'light' hanging high in the sky exerts its power.

The final enemy—the Light of Annihilation.

If we consider "Element Heroes" as an American comic book universe, then this should be an event that could reboot the entire worldview.

This time, the enemy did not come from outer space, but from within—the criminals reappeared in the "Hero City" without anyone knowing.

At first, no one took these things seriously; they simply arrested them and threw them in jail.

But when this phenomenon spread to within the hero groups, the guardians of the world finally realized that something was wrong.

However, it was too late.

The once united heroes were plunged into a vortex of contradictions and doubts, which then escalated into an unimaginable struggle.

When the internal turmoil was finally quelled and brought to an end, the once peaceful world was plunged into irreparable chaos.

"We are unable to rebuild order under the influence of the Light of Destruction, nor are we able to remove this planet from its influence, so we choose to let darkness descend upon this world."

Electro spoke up:
“Bubble Man investigated those legends and stories, and we found fragments of information about the light of destruction and the darkness of the universe, and ultimately…”

"You summoned the Overlord?"

"No, it's resurrection..."

Electro then turned his gaze to the dark figure:
"It is said that the darkness belonging to the overlord resides within the human body, but the last overlord is almost a legend to us. We are unfortunate to live in an era without an 'overlord,' so we choose to call upon that more ancient being... with our lives."

"Snapped"

Upon hearing this answer, You Ming couldn't help but slap his forehead.

To be honest, he really wanted to complain about something, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided... never mind.

"I was the last hero to survive. We don't know what the others were thinking. They let me live, then they made the overlord, and finally..."

"Finally, I did as they wished, and I unleashed darkness that enveloped the entire planet."
