Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"Come on! Construction team members!"

After winning the duel overwhelmingly, Professor Chronos, with a serious expression, waved his hand and instructed the engineering team behind him to repair the dilapidated dormitory.

"Oh! Brothers are working!"

"It's time for us to show up!!!"

"Let's show you what we can do!"

In response to Professor Chronos' call, the strong workers picked up their tools and began to professionally rebuild the dormitory that was more than half destroyed.

Should we say that they are indeed a professional engineering team? During the time that Youxing and the others were waiting in a daze, the dormitory had recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually returning to the state it was in before the destruction.

The dormitory, which used to be like a construction site shed, did not undergo any structural changes after the reconstruction, but it does look much cleaner than before.

Without having to look closely, one can clearly notice the changes in the appearance of this dormitory before and after...

"It's so noisy! What on earth has been going on since just now?!"

Inside the dormitory, after washing his body, Wanzhangmu finally recovered from his previous miserable state. He pressed his ears hard, trying to block out the construction noise coming from the outside world.

He had not yet realized that the dormitory had been renovated and rebuilt. When he angrily opened the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and rows of question marks appeared in his head.

What, what happened???

How did Osiris Red Dormitory become so clean?

"Since we have to rebuild it anyway, we might as well build it into a private room like the Sun God Yellow Dormitory..."

"Don't ask for so much~ Hey, for you, this level is just right~"

Looking at these students complaining about the dormitory, Professor Chronos, who was saying this, also showed a satisfied look on his face...

501 It’s me, but not entirely me

Duel Academy, an ordinary night.

Youxing, who had not seen each other for a long time and vaguely heard the calling voice in his sleep, came to his own consciousness space in a passive and unconscious state.

Standing in the familiar dark hall, he opened his eyes again and saw another self, the figure of Dark Wandering Star who had embarked on the path of being a overlord and chose to walk alone into the darkness.

Just like when we first met, Dark Wandering Star was like a demon king, exuding a terrifying and powerful aura. Just by sitting there, he gave people the impression that he was someone they could not underestimate.

"Long time no see, another me."

Sitting on the dark and scary throne, the Overlord, or Dark Youxing, who was supporting his cheek with one hand, took the initiative to greet Youxing who appeared here.

It had been too long since the last time they met. When An Youxing saw the young man in front of him who looked exactly like him, he began to feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

There are thousands of paths in life, and sometimes just a simple choice can lead the same person to a completely different path.

For example, he who chose "dominance" and Youxing who found "my way" although they had the same background, lived completely different lives.

"You are... Overlord? Um... Wait, why am I here?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Youxing turned toward where An Youxing was and asked his questions.

This time, An Youxing did not cover his face with a mask like before, so through the faint light emanating from around him, Youxing's eyes also reflected the face of a man who looked a bit more mature than his current self.

The golden eyes that were always burning, the expressionless face that seemed to have lost interest in everything, and the strange black aura that spread all over the body...

There is no doubt that for Youxing, that is another self in another parallel world.

He has reached the end of the road and has already become the Dark Overlord who is the Duel King and the Overlord of the World!

"You are here because I want to see you."

Without changing his expression, An Youxing spoke calmly and continued to explain: "During this period of time, I have been paying attention to the series of events that happened to you, more or less."

"The dark duel with the Seven Stars, the heroic civil war between E-HERO and D-HERO, the battle of faith with the alien life forms... and the Light Society and the Light of Destruction that you will face next, and even the Darkness that will come later... These are all experiences I have experienced before."

"While observing you, I also vaguely recalled those memories from the distant past..."

"Wait...that means you know exactly what is going to happen to me next?" After listening to An Youxing's explanation, Youxing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked the above question.

So, Mr. Overlord, could you please give me some spoilers so that I can know my future in advance?

Have I become the Duel King, have I started a harem of humans and elves?

"...Heh, you and I have embarked on a completely different path, so my life cannot be used as a reference for you."

To Yuxing's surprise, An Yuxing shook his head at this time, and then he chuckled a few times as if mocking himself: "At least, at that time, I did not choose to make friends with others, from beginning to end. I was fighting alone... If I have to say that I have partners, then it is probably only my elves who accompany me..."

Although he reached the end, An Youxing's heart was filled with emptiness.

He absorbed a huge amount of spirit power, used the power of "super fusion" to fuse the twelve dimensions into one, and waited to lead the ultimate top...

Not only is he not lacking in power and wealth, he also possesses an immortal body and eternal life. Logically speaking, Dark Star should be living an enviable life like a god.

However, in reality, this is not the case.

As a tyrant, he has no friends or lovers. He can neither tell others about his troubles nor spend the rest of his life with someone.

After achieving his ideal and losing the goal he was pursuing, his journey came to an end.

All that was left to him was a multi-dimensional fusion world that had become devastated after countless battles, and countless ants that succumbed to his power.

And then, one day, he discovered the existence of another wandering planet who had strayed into his world.

The dusty memories were awakened, and the dead past came back to attack him...

With the corners of his mouth raised, An Youxing seemed to have regained the fun and meaning of life. While feeling the pleasure generated physically and mentally, he also acted in a completely different way from his usual self.

At a suitable opportunity, he crossed the sea of ​​possibilities and attached himself to Yusei. While crossing the boundaries of dimensions, he also blocked the real dark duel that a novice should not have to endure on behalf of Yusei.

And, after that, before returning to his own world, he gave his power unconditionally to Yusei.

It can be said that Youxing’s current achievements are entirely inseparable from the great help from him and Miss Jie.

"Youxing, I want to ask you a question. In your mind, what is good and what is evil?"

Rubbing his palms, An Youxing raised his head and looked directly at Youxing, and suddenly asked a somewhat puzzling question.

But judging from the content, it is a discussion about the other side and boundary between good and evil.

"Ah? The definition of good and evil? This question is a bit philosophical... Let me think about it carefully..."

When hearing An Youxing's question, Youxing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but start thinking about his intentions.

At this time, I was suddenly asked this somewhat inexplicable question...

What on earth is Brother Overlord thinking?

Could it be that he wants to pull me into his camp after knowing my true thoughts?

"Don't think too much. I don't have any purpose. I just want to know what you think."

If calculated according to human age, Dark Star, as the overlord, has lived for an unknown amount of time.

Having experienced many things and bid farewell to countless people, he has now lost interest in almost everything.

Therefore, at this time, it is impossible to guess or speculate his thoughts with ordinary people's eyes.

The reason why he asked Youxing this question was probably just a whim, and he didn't have any other extra thoughts.

"Emm...if you do good things, then it should be good, right? If you do bad things, then it should be evil, right?"

"I see. That's the standard answer you'd get from an elementary school student. Is that what you think?"

After commenting on Yuxing's somewhat perfunctory answer, An Yuxing nodded and continued to ask expressionlessly: "So, if a person who has been a good person all his life suddenly did a bad thing one day? Do you think... this is something that cannot be forgiven?"

"Uh... this shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, this person has done good deeds all his life, and everyone should have a full understanding of his character and personality. They shouldn't take this too seriously, right?"

"…Really? Is that your answer?"

This time, Overlord did not comment too much on Youxing's answer. He just blinked his golden eyes and continued, "So... let's reverse the question. If a person who has done evil things all his life suddenly does a good thing one day, then what awaits him will be gratitude or suspicion from others?"

"Huh? Of course I'm suspicious! Put yourself in his shoes. If I saw a notorious murderer suddenly run to help an old lady cross the street, I would suspect that he had ulterior motives and was scouting the place in advance!"

Without hesitation, Yusei spoke his mind.

You've already become a big villain, there's no way you can wash yourself clean, okay?

Brother, you don't really think there is any hope for you, do you?

“…an objective evaluation.”

Clapping his hands, An Youxing gave a noncommittal answer.

"So...how is it? Are you satisfied with my answer just now?"

Wiping his nose with his thumb, Youxing turned to the man on the throne and asked about his performance just now.

Anyway, we should give it a good review, right?

Not to mention the full score of 100, even 90 is fine!

"Well... I know what you're thinking, and your answer is also in line with what a normal person should think, but..." At this point, An Youxing changed the subject and announced in a low voice the result of the question and answer: "But... 0 points!"

"Varied……"

0...0 points?

Did something go wrong?

Why is it 0 points?

An expression of incomprehension appeared on his face, and Youxing's brows slightly frowned.

He was waiting for An Youxing's next explanation.

"You feel confused and think it's unfair, right?"

"But... in reality, the result will be completely different from your answer..."

Crossing his fingers in front of himself, An Youxing explained the answer just now, "Most of the time, in real life, a good man who has done good deeds all his life will often do one bad thing, and all his previous efforts will be wasted... Just like a rat shit spoils the whole barrel, people will begin to doubt whether his previous actions have some ulterior motives, and whether they have suffered any losses while receiving his selfless help..."

"And if a villain who has done bad things all his life suddenly does a good thing one day, he will become a role model in the eyes of everyone. Everyone will start to think whether they have wrongly blamed him for his past actions, and whether he is actually a good person at heart..."

"This... is this actually possible?" Feeling a little surprised by An Youxing's words, Youxing couldn't help but let out a sound of incomprehensible confusion.

No, are these people blind? Is it necessary to think about the obvious good and bad people?

God has wrongly blamed the good people. God’s selfless help has other purposes...

Are these guys paratroopers?

"Heh... That's human nature, Yusei... Your selfless help may not necessarily bring you any gratitude in return... It's also possible that the person you helped, driven by interests, will choose to betray you without hesitation and stab you in the back."

Observing the changeable expression on Youxing's face, An Youxing smiled slightly and added another stab.

"..."

There is no way to refute it, and no way to be sure that my help will be rewarded.

For a moment, Youxing felt at a loss for words and fell into speechless silence.

Just as An Youxing said, it is possible that such people exist in the world.

And there are indeed such traitors around him.

For example... Marufuji Sho, Marufuji Sho, and Marufuji Sho and the like...

"It seems that you already understand what I want to say."

Dark Youxing's gaze followed and he began to look up and down at Youxing's body.

"You're still a virgin, right?"

"……what?"

Because the gap between the previous and next questions was too huge, Youxing was unable to react for a while, and just instinctively made a puzzled sound from his mouth.

No...why are you asking me this question suddenly?

"This reaction seems to be correct."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a look of contempt appeared on An Youxing's originally expressionless face: "What a shame for the time traveler! Youxing, until now, have you never experienced the joy of growing up?"

"What the hell..."

Unable to resist, Yuxing swore. He counterattacked without thinking: "How can you say that about me? Aren't you also..."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. There was a time when I was called the 'Kidney' duelist. And because I had so much experience in that area, I no longer had any thoughts in that area..."
