Chapter 812: Deck of The Strong
Yuei Vu couldn't help but have suspicions and associations with the content of this painting.
No one knew in which era this ancient mural was created, nor whether it was a faithful reproduction of a scene that has appeared in history, or whether it was a prophecy dictated by a prophet of a certain era.
When Yuei Vu looked at this painting, he felt a strange and bad premonition.
The "Three Egyptian Gods" who represent the pinnacle of DM's combat power, the top demon god "Three Sacred Beasts" from the GX era, the Nordic god "Three Aesirs" who appeared on 5DS, and the demons from the same generation who awakened from the Nazca Lines "Earthbound Immortal"
Judging from the meaning expressed by the painter, this seemed to be a large-scale battle. The battle between gods and demons, the conflict between gods of different systems, each side represented their own camp.
Yuei Vu became more and more curious about the origin of this mural.
Maybe when Keita Koizumi comes back later, I can ask him about the story behind this painting.
Unfortunately, this plan was doomed to fail.
The lights in the exhibition hall suddenly went out, followed by a soft sound like an engine stalling.
No, its not just this exhibition hall. The lights in the entire duplex went out as if someone had dug out the cables.
"WTF?" Ken Koizumi muttered vaguely and then turned to Yuei Vu with an apology, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuei Vu, it's like this sometimes here.
A little out-of-the-way place, you know. Let me make some phone calls"
Yuei Vu said nothing.
The experience of facing powerful enemies many times has trained his instincts, and he knew that this could not be a coincidence. It's a signal, like a cat's hair standing on end, an alert to prepare for war.
This was a provocation.
The door seemed to have been smashed open by a heavy hammer, and a figure stood at the door. After the lights were turned off, the airtight exhibition hall was completely dark. Light spilled in from outside the door, and the black shadow standing at the door was dark and tall.
Yuei Vu had never met him in person, but based on the information collected these days and the promotional photos in magazines, he recognized the person's identity at a glance.
It was a peerless strongman who had disappeared, the second-generation Duel King after Yuei Vu himself and Muto Yugi.
Hibiki Koyo.
However, Yuei Vu quickly saw that the other party's condition was not normal. His facial muscles were very stiff, making it seem difficult to make even small changes in expression. His walking movements were also very mechanical, making people feel that he was a machine.
Although his eyes were not hollow, they still made people feel as if something important was missing. More importantly, the Duel King's entire body was shrouded in a dark miasma, making him appear gloomy and ferocious.
"Yuei Vu, the first Duel King and the originator of HERO user." Hibiki Koyo said coldly, "I have wanted to fight you for a long time."
"Is he being manipulated?" Yuei Vu murmured.
This made Yuei Vu naturally think of the comic plot of "Yu-Gi-Oh GX".
Among them, Hibiki Koyo, the world champion, also lost in the Shadow Game with Tragoedia. From then on, his consciousness fell into darkness, and he himself was bedridden for many years, until the finale when Yuki Judai and Manjome defeated Tragoedia and liberated him.
Moreover, the dark miasma exuding from Hibiki Koyo in front of him was indeed very similar to the Tragoedia that Yuei Vu encountered before.
So he had reason to believe that Hibiki Koyo was now under the control of Tragoedia.
But unlike the puppet controlled by Tragoedia before, he did not directly kick away Hibiki Koyo's consciousness, but performed a mental operation similar to "brainwashing".
Obviously, this was to preserve the Duel King's own strength as the best fighter under Tragoedia.
"Sure enough, this matter is still related to Big Lobsterthat's just right."
Yuei Vu opened the duel disk and waved his hand to Ken Koizumi behind him to hide away.
"The second generation Duel King, right? I've wanted to try a fight with you for a long time."
The first and second generation Duel Kings were both known as "HERO" users. Perhaps they were destined to have a duel sooner or later.
Yuei Vu took out a deck of cards, and after thinking twice, inserted into the duel disk.
At this moment, he clearly marked a star number in the column of Duelist Rank in the personal panel of his system
Rank 10.
This Rank was already at the level of the Three Egyptian Gods among Duel Monsters. Although he has just crossed the threshold of this level, Yuei Vu estimated that he should be similar to Atem in the Duelist Kingdom arc when DM first appeared.
The biggest advantage of high Rank was that you could be very bold when building your deck.
Real card players often used the same series or series that could interact with each other to build a deck. This could ensure the efficiency of the high-speed operation of the deck, reduce the dead draw rate, and facilitate smooth deployment.
But weaknesses were also obvious.
A deck built with a series as its core must have a theme, and the entire deck system must have a core theme. For example, in some decks the monsters were all of the same type, some had the same attributes, and some series relied heavily on a certain core card to operate.
This left the deck with a fatal weakness.
For example, the Orichalcos deck of Dartz back then if The Seal of Orichalcos was blocked, all his tactics were unable to be deployed. Another example was the more familiar Cyber Dragon. The monsters in the entire system were all Machine, making this deck almost helpless against the power of "System Down".
If the opponent had information in advance and knew the system, theme, and key points of your deck from the beginning, it would be very easy to target them.
No matter how strong the top deck was, it had its own weaknesses. The Yu-Gi-Oh card pool was bottomless. As long as you knew what the opponent was playing in advance, you could easily target them to death.
But this was not always the case in the anime worldview.
For example, if Yuei Vu and Muto Yugi were to duel, he would not be able to make tactical arrangements based on Yugi's deck construction.
Because there was absolutely no way to do that.
It was no exaggeration to say that the deck of Yugi was a mess. His deck had a lot of messy systems, and each system could be taken out to build a new deck that worked well.
For example, the Dark Magician series, the Magnet Warrior series, the Black Luster Soldier series, the Buster Blader series, the Gaia The Fierce Knight series, the Magician Girl series, etc
Such a large number of types, attributes, tactical systems, and playing methods were all stuffed together. How to deal with them?
But maybe this was how a true boss was built. Yuei Vu felt that perhaps as long as he still stuck to the constraints of the conventional deck system, then he would not be able to truly become the top powerhouse defined in the Yu-Gi-Oh world.
This was why he decided to make this bold attempt when his Duelist Rank crossed the threshold of ten.
A brand new deck that he had never tried before, a deck that could cope with various situations and had countless possibilities.
The opponent could never predict how he would be defeated.
"Duel!" x2
