Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"Thank you for your help, Yusei... The rest of the battle will be our own business."

With the "Rusalka Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Song Tribe" in his arms and the Q version beastman "Lightheart of the Intimidating Claw Tribe" sitting on his shoulder, Visas expressed his gratitude to Yusei and the others with a satisfied smile.

"It's nothing. Helping you is actually helping ourselves."

Yusei shook his head slightly, put away the duel disk, and gave Visas a polite reply.

This sudden incident was a rather wonderful experience for him.

"Yes, yes! This really opened my eyes... I never thought there would be such beautiful scenery outside the universe! Talking dolphins and mermaids, as well as visitors and enemies from other worlds... Ahhhh... It's so exciting!"

The one who said this was Yuki Judai who looked very excited.

From his face now, there is no trace of the disappointment he felt when he lost to Ed Phoenix before.

After seeing the beautiful scenery outside the world and broadening his horizons, he was reborn as he took on the glorious mission of saving the universe with Yusei.

“Judai, calm down…” Patting Yuki Judai’s shoulder, Kaiba Keipi, the only working man among the three, said goodbye to Visas after seeing the incident was over: “Well, since the incident here is over, we’ll leave.”

"Wait, Yusei... before I leave, let me give you a gift! You've helped me so much, I have to give something in return."

"……Gift?"

"That's right. It's the crystallization of the power I gained after traveling to so many worlds." Visas said this and stretched out his free arm in the direction of Youxing.

With a flash of light, a deck of cards appeared in Visas' palm.

"Is this... a deck?"

"Well, I think... this should be exactly what you need."

After nodding, Visas handed the deck in his hand to Yusei: "The Pearl Tear Elegy Clan, the Intimidation Minion Clan, and other World Destruction series cards... these are the crystallization of the bonds I have built along the way. Now, I will hand some of them over to you... Yusei, even if we are in different worlds, fight side by side with us!"

"oh oh……"

Just like that, after the new space, Yusei obtained a new bad card group including the [Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe] from Visas...

When the opponent takes the initiative, use the hand to melt the millet to block the opponent's deployment, and use the mermaid to send the grave to cooperate with the demon king in the swamp to accelerate the melting of any fusion monster that does not require any restrictions...

This is just the tip of the iceberg of this deck's power...

At present, Youxing has not yet realized how powerful the help he has received is.

486 Lows and Turning Points

The super dark horse that has won battle after battle and is highly anticipated!

This is the first impression Caesar Liang brings when he first enters the professional duel stage.

As the top graduate of Duel Academy, he was recommended by the academy to participate in the professional league, and he lived up to his name Caesar.

The images of the ever-popular Caesar Ryo, who has been achieving overwhelming victories, and his trump card monster, the Cyber-Terminator Dragon, often appear on the covers of various magazines.

As an excellent example of a graduate, he was often mentioned by Professor Chronos to motivate the freshmen who had just entered the school.

It can be said that Caesar Liang's life has become quite complete.

However... these past honors gradually disappeared with his defeat.

After losing to Ed Phoenix in a duel, Caesar Ryo fell into a state of self-doubt and began to be unable to win.

After a surprising ten-game losing streak, the once highly anticipated Kaisar Liang was eliminated from the league. As a disappointing newcomer, he stopped at the high wall of professional duel.

His photo also disappeared from the cover of the magazine, and was replaced by those of Ed and the Hero of Destiny.

Regarding this result, everyone in the Duel Academy didn't know what to say.

Although they believed that Caesar, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, would eventually come out of the haze and cheer up again, they were in a different environment from Caesar and could not understand Caesar's feelings.

They also don't know when this day will come.

……

"Hmph! Activate the effect of [Thunder End Dragon]! Remove one Xyz Material from this card, and destroy all monsters on the field except this card!"

"...Gu! Cyber ​​End Dragon!!!"

"This is the last one, [Thunder End Dragon] attacks directly!"

“Ugh…!!!”

In the dark and damp spacious room, an underground duel unknown to everyone is taking place.

Caesar, who kept losing in the league and fell into a vicious cycle...or should I say, Marufuji Ryo, eventually fell to his current state by chance.

In order to maintain a basic life, or perhaps to regain the feeling of victory among the weak, Marufuji Ryo stepped into the dark world without realizing it, and fell from a highly anticipated supernova to a mortal who longed for victory.

However, even if you lower your goals and requirements again and again.

Even though his opponent was just an unknown passerby character, Caesar was restrained and eventually lost the duel.

Naturally, what greeted him for such a bad performance was endless negative emotions from the audience.

"What a boring duel, Marufuji Ryo, is this considered the level of a professional player?"

"…RNM! Give me your money back!"

"I took a special leave to come and watch the duel, and this is it?"

"… It's Marufuji Ryo again. This guy was defeated despite having a great advantage, and thus lost the duel!"

"What the hell is going on? Are you serious about fighting? You can lose even when a dragon is on your face? Are you kidding me?"

"...Seriously, bro? Any other pig would have won the game just now, right? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"You have a cover card but you don't play it, you can attack but you don't attack, and you have to wait until the opponent deploys. What on earth are you doing? Huh?"

"… Trash! Loser! No wonder he became like this!"

"Honestly, brother, why don't you just give up the duel? My dog ​​is stronger than you..."

……

Ridicule, abuse, contempt, suspicion...

All kinds of human fickleness and dirty words that the audience had never experienced before were now vented on Marufuji Ryo.

With the voice of abuse echoing in his ears, Marufuji Ryo, who once again tasted the taste of defeat, raised his head in silence and looked at the slightly yellow chandelier above his head with empty eyes.

His mind also immersed itself in his own world, and he began to ponder the meaning of his existence.

When did I become like this?

Clearly, I was still the brilliant and glorious Caesar yesterday, but today, I suddenly became the person I once hated the most.

He had a negative attitude towards dueling, which was his specialty, and showed an obvious fear of attacking, which was a normal behavior.

The former glory has disappeared, and the name of Caesar has almost become a joke.

Even Cybertron, my old friend, the trump card monster that brought me countless victories... will leave me now...

What should I do?

Is there anyone... who can give me an accurate answer.

Naturally, no one could answer his questions, and no one could understand the pain in his heart.

Marufuji Ryo laughed at himself and could only turn around amid the ridicule of the crowd. Maintaining his last bit of dignity, he chose to leave without hesitation and escape from himself.

……

"To be honest, you are now far away from the image of our company, so I hope that the previous contract between you and our company will become a blank piece of paper."

"..."

"Caesar... No! Marufuji Ryo, it seems that we thought too highly of you before. Young people who can't withstand the blow are not what our company wants to invest in, so let's stop here."

"..."

"Marufuji, I said..."

"..."

Silence, a long silence.

Neither exploded in silence nor died in silence, Marufuji Ryo simply accepted his fate calmly.

Regardless of whether it was the defeat in the previous duel, or the successive termination notices received from the agency and sponsors, Marufuji Ryo's response was mostly silence, which is equivalent to no response, or it can also be regarded as tacit agreement.

When you are doing well, countless people will come to curry favor with you.

But when they are doing badly, they wish to be tens of thousands of miles away from you and never want you to have any contact with them again.

This is both a cruel reality and an unchanging truth.

Unlike in school, there is no such thing as pure kindness in society, only mutual exploitation!

All those who had previously flattered him wanted was Marufuji Ryo's title as a dark horse with continuous victories.

And when this point no longer exists, Marufuji Ryo, who has lost his usefulness, will naturally be kicked away by them and become a rootless duckweed.

Just like that, Marufuji Ryo, who was hit hard by the social university and thoroughly taught a lesson by the capitalists, fell into a deeper black vortex.

On the basis of his doubts about the duel, Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but begin to doubt his own life.

"Hehehe...I am now living a joke..."

"Yuxing...if it were you, what choice would you make? From my perspective, could you cheer yourself up again? Could you ignore those doubting voices and walk out of the shadow in your heart?"

Walking on the deserted streets at night, Marufuji Ryo, who was at the lowest point in his life, couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

Looking at the streets that were as dim as his heart, he couldn't help but think of the opponent who defeated him in the graduation duel, the boy who always brought surprises to everyone.

At this moment, a hint of bitterness could not help but appear on Marufuji Ryo's face.

Yousei... the hero I envy, you who possess infinite possibilities, will surely continue to grow and become stronger, eventually surpassing all duelists and becoming the Duel King at the forefront of that era.

Compared to you, I am just the wave in front that was pushed to death on the beach by the wave behind.

My era, Caesar's era, is now over.

Perhaps it's time for me to accept the current outcome, give up the duel, and choose another path?

"Giving up may be a good choice..."

Thinking of this, Marufuji Ryo stopped and looked into the depths of the dark alley, as if it was destined.

As if he had been prepared, a suspicious man wrapped in a cloak came towards them from the depths of the alley.

"Caesar Liang, I have already seen your duel just now."

Along with the scattered moonlight, the suspicious man also revealed his face, a shrewd face wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The first impression he gives people is that he is not an honest and decent person.

"My duel? You...so...what do you think?" After hesitating for a moment, Caesar gave priority to asking the question he wanted to ask most.

Rather than knowing the identity of the man in front of him, he wanted to learn from other people the information that he had not noticed.

"Heh... you're asking me what I think? Well, I'll just say it straight out. It was a really boring duel!"

The suspicious man with his head tilted stopped not far in front of Marufuji Ryo, and then he said in a teasing tone: "...I can't imagine that such a low-class thing would be a duel with you, Caesar Ryo!"

"…What is your purpose? Are you here to cause trouble?"

Marufuji Ryo frowned, feeling pierced through the chest by the suspicious man's truth, and his tone was filled with obvious impatience.

What happened recently was already bad enough for him, and now he encountered a troll who came to pick a fight.

Oh my God, are you deliberately making fun of me?

"...Of course not, you misunderstood me!"
