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

Chapter 374 Want to Play a Card Game
So, it's actually a very simple story.

With nowhere else to turn, the heroes sacrificed themselves to gain refuge, protecting their last hope from a boss whose mechanics and stats were absurd.

Coincidentally, the survivor was even "Electroman".

Unfortunately, "Electric" doesn't possess the ability to turn the tide like his original design, The Flash.

He was born with the ability to generate electricity, but he could not reverse time and space. He could only continue to eke out a living in this world that had been restored to order thanks to the desperate protection of his companions.

"After that day, I was the only hero left in the world. I tried to restore the order that once belonged to 'heroes,' but I alone could not recreate it."

"Uh……"

"More importantly, because of the Destroyer of Light incident, the public has completely lost trust in us."

"what……"

"Fortunately, they were able to adjust themselves. The survivors gathered in what was once the largest 'Hero City,' where they re-established order. I secretly did my best to protect them from invasion by aliens, including the Radian aliens, who could utilize dimensional power."

"...And that's how it ended up like this?"

"Well, unlike Bubble Man, I'm not as talented as him. I can't use those novel inventions to extend my physical activity time. I can only watch myself grow old day by day, my strength gradually weakening. Even with the help of Neo-Universe Man, I can't suppress it. I can hear the moans coming from inside my body every moment."

He then covered his chest.

At that moment, the heavy pounding of his heart seemed to be audible even to You Ming himself.

Slow, yet powerful:

"But fortunately, I finally saw a turning point before things got any worse."

"That kid named Kid?"

After experiencing all that happened in the Elf Realm, Yu Ming naturally turned his attention to "Hero Boy"—he looked like a future comic book protagonist, only he was a lone hero.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, You Ming suddenly sensed that something was wrong:

"What are you looking at me for?"

Meeting Electro's gaze, which seemed to reveal helplessness yet sincerity, You Ming's lips twitched involuntarily:

"Don't tell me it was me... Okay, it really is me."

At first, the duelist did want to complain about something, but after thinking about the self-consistent operating logic of this broken world, he felt that he couldn't say anything.

"Honestly, if you asked me to read this as a comic book, I'd think the world-building is a complete mess—based on the lore, the tech-savvy 'Bubble Man' would be far more likely to survive than you."

"That's what I thought."

"……Row."

Faced with that attitude that could only be described as calm, You Ming obviously couldn't say anything harsh.

"That's all I can say."

After surveying the endless desert around him, and then looking at the massive city standing not far away, You Ming finally turned his gaze to the sky:
"Anyway, now that I'm here, whatever tragic things happened in the past should be over now, right?"

After stretching subconsciously, You Ming couldn't help but look at the man in black armor:

"Theoretically speaking, I remember Mr. Overlord was capable of directly exploding with the Light of Annihilation..."

Although the animation did not describe the specific process in detail, the so-called Light of Destruction did indeed resemble a stray dog ​​on the roadside in its appearance.

Despite having a supposed universe-destroying premise, the carefully chosen agent replicated Voldemort's great deeds—attempting to take over a school but failing, and the major event that caused a stir for a quarter was nothing more than trying to use human-made satellite weapons to clean up the surface.

Then, after the Overlord awakens in another world and successfully reunites with his former wife, Yubel, it disappears.

No joke, Yumei remembers it very clearly. The Light of Destruction didn't even deserve a whole episode's worth of screen time; he was just killed off in the epilogue of Jaden's return.

Just now...

"Right now, I can't do that."

He spoke calmly:
“What remains here now is merely an empty shell still capable of manipulating darkness. With that alone, I lack the confidence to destroy the Light of Annihilation.” “Oh…”

I've just gotten used to it, and it's really not a problem.

"In short, if we join forces, we should be able to directly destroy the Light of Annihilation..."

"But how can you be sure you can defeat the Light of Destruction?"

"what?"

"To be precise, how can you convince me that you have enough power to defeat the Light of Destruction?"

Wasn't the previous battle enough?

"That's not enough, you should understand."

I understand!

Although that's what he wanted to say, it has to be said that he truly understood:
"In the end, it's still the same underlying logic."

You Ming raised his hand, and the machine slowly unfolded:

"I will prove them wrong with my actions."

As the shimmering green light echoed, the saw wheel on the Overlord's arm also spun rapidly.

next moment……

【You have a new challenger! 】

'boom'

As the sound reverberated, a pitch-black vortex appeared in the sky.

Then, all sorts of figures—those demons—descended from the sky.

However, as he glanced at it, Electro couldn't help but purse his lips:
"them……"

"The heroes of this world paid a tremendous price to achieve what we have today. Even if it seems foolish to the truly strong, they have undoubtedly saved the world."

As those figures raised their heads one after another, the Overlord raised his arm high:
"And if you want to break the status quo, it is tantamount to denying all their efforts so far. Whether it is sin or weakness, their inner pride (darkness) and selfishness (evil) make it difficult for them to accept."

"But this is just starting all over again."

Looking at the distorted forms of his former colleagues and partners, Electro couldn't help but say coldly:

"What's so hard to accept about that?"

"It's because you had this mindset that you were able to survive, Electro."

"..."

Meeting the old man's astonished gaze, the Overlord calmly spoke:
"During the catastrophe of the Light of Destruction, you were the only one who was not affected or swayed, and the only one who stayed true to yourself. Your companions have always thought you were a great person."

"...But I clearly didn't do anything."

"So you're going to wallow in self-pity again?"

That barbed voice instantly shattered the atmosphere. Electro wanted to say something, but ultimately revealed the decisiveness he once possessed:
"Not anymore."

He put his mask back on.

Arcs of electricity coursed across his body, leaving only a streak of lightning hurtling forward across the desolate landscape.

Let's settle this here!

'boom'

"duel."
