The sky hadn't even had time to light up yet, and there was no one on the street outside the window. Not even a single person could be seen on the empty, dark street.
Even before the alarm clock rang, Snow Wave had already jumped out of bed…or to be more precise, he hadn't slept all night.
Because today was the day when the five-day maintenance of World Link ended and the new version went online.
Five days! I haven’t seen Yuei Vu-san for five whole days!
Do you know that I have been here like this for the past five days?
This week, Snow Wave couldn't think about food or drink. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He had no motivation to catch up on TV series, and other games were becoming less and less interesting the more he played them. Even 5TB of For Academic Purposes material in the hard drive looked uninteresting.
A game without Yuei Vu-san is totally meaningless.
And today, I finally came to the end of this torturous time. Because the much-anticipated World Link 2.0, the version corresponding to the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh GX", is finally going online!
Snow Wave forced himself to lie on the bed until early in the morning, and he jumped up even before he started serving. He finished washing up at the speed of light, stuffed a few pieces of dry bread into his mouth for breakfast, and then sat down impatiently in the game cabin, counting the seconds until the arrival of the new version.
He clicked on the "Login" button almost as soon as it lit up. When the system was activated, the interface in front of him changed instantly, making it look like you are being sucked into a bottomless tunnel. Countless light spots formed a river and flowed past him. He felt like a leaf drifting with the current, following the current to a new world."Welcome back, duelist." The voice of the system sounded gently in his ears. Although he had not seen him for only five days, he felt that the voice was more friendly.
His feet touched the ground, and he quickly felt that control of his body was returned to his own hands.
Although it was strange to say this, he smelled a familiar smell from this virtual world.
As always, the ultra-realistic experience, even the five senses were perfectly simulated with the heaven-defying game effect. Many people have suggested that if "World Link" was not a card game, but an action game with special effects and grand scenes, the response might be greater.
Snow Wave completely disagreed with this and even felt that he could not understand it.
What does an action game mean? Everyone is wielding knives and guns, shooting and hacking like savages. Is there any fun?
The best game in the world is a card game!
According to the trailer before the update of "World Link 2.0", players know that this new version tells what happened six years after they went offline – that was, five years after the end of the Dark Side of Dimension movie.
Although the original work of "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX" clearly stated that it happened after the completion of the DM animation, there has always been controversy about the year.
Although the background setting states that nearly ten years have passed since the end of DM, there were many conflicts with this setting in the animation plot. Therefore, there has been endless debate about how many years after Atem left in the story of GX.
However, although the background of World Link was based on animation, it was not 100% consistent with the animation, so there was no controversy. Version 2.0 clearly stated that the timeline was six years after version 1.0 and has entered the GX period.
Of course, this was not Snow Wave’s concern for the time being.
He went online to check his location, and immediately rushed to the Dream Card Store, looking for the connection between him and Yuei Vu that transcended time and space.
But he didn't expect what he would see there.
Six years later, the store was still there – it even looked better and more gorgeously decorated than six years ago, but at the same time, it also made Snow Wave feel strange.
Although there were still several eye-catching characters "Dream Card Shop" hanging on the door, this was no longer a card shop. If anything, this place may be closer to…
……museum.
A museum with the theme of "How the Duel King is Made".
There were no cards sold inside at all, and the entire store had been completely overturned and rebuilt. Now the store was filled with sculptures of Masked HEROes in various forms, as well as a cute model of the Dark Magician Girl standing at the door like a welcome receptionist.
The windows on both sides of the wall display various peripheral magazines related to the Duel King, as well as spiritual weapons that are said to have been refined by him himself (although they all look like figures for cheating geeks out of money).
A luxurious projection screen hung in the most eye-catching place, showing the highlight moments of Duel King Yuei Vu.
Snow Wave couldn't help but think of No. 221B Baker Street in London.
From the biographies here and the content shown on the big screen, Snow Wave quickly knew what they had missed in the past six years.
After DM’s story ended, the world did not become peaceful. On the contrary, although there are no more world-destroying bosses like Dartz and the Great Evil God Zorc, the duel monster spirits as a whole have become more and more active.
Some experts speculated that it may be that the previous supernatural phenomena have loosened the connection between the Duel Monsters Spirit World and the human world. The connection between the two dimensions was becoming closer every day.
Nowadays, it has become easier than ever for dueling monster spirits to materialize in reality. Research showed that there were more and more duelists who had the power to "see monsters and spirits" – but most of them seemed to be… young people.
More and more duelists were awakening to their extraordinary abilities, and the overall strength of the Shadow Duelists in the underground world was also increasing day by day. Duel Monsters seemed to be becoming more and more ubiquitous, and people were accepting their existence in a relatively benign way.
On this point, the contribution of President Kaiba Seto, who was known as a card-playing addict rarely seen in three thousand years, was indispensable.
It’s said that President Kaiba initially scorned supernatural phenomena such as "monster spirits", and once publicly expressed his opinion that spirits and other things were imagined by those metaphysical duelists and did not exist at all.
However, somehow, one day, President Kaiba suddenly changed. Not only did he announce that scientific research showed that spirits existed, but he also spent a lot of money and energy on publicity and promotion, helping the public accept the idea of monster spirits, using the power of the Kaiba Corp to build a world framework in which humans and spirits coexist harmoniously…
Snow Wave was surprised by the transformation of Kaiba Seto, a deep scientific superstitious person.
Could it be that Kaiba suddenly picked up a spirit wife one day, and he became very sweet from then on?
However, challenges and opportunities coexist. The widespread appearance of spirits naturally brought not only friendly partners but also dangerous enemies.
Over the past six years, various cases of monsters and spirits causing trouble have appeared from time to time. Some of these were duellists with evil intentions abusing the power of the spirits, and some were the rampage of the spirits themselves.
For example, the riot that attracted the most attention and was the largest in the past six years was caused by spirits named "Three Sacred Beasts".
Five years ago, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames appeared in the coastal area of the island country, causing quite a turmoil. But not long after, Duel King Yuei Vu arrived in person and commanded the Egyptian God "Osiris the Sky Dragon", who looked like a twin brother to Uria, to blast him and suppress the rampaging phantom.
Snow Wave saw the scene from the TV screen. Although the camera was shaking badly and the picture was not very clear, people could still feel the chilling aura of Osiris through the TV screen…
…and the Sacred Beast’s helplessness.
Yes, from the moment the sky dragon appeared, Uria, who had been so arrogant just now, immediately gave in, curled up, and huddled aside in grievance.
The Sky Dragon seemed to be very angry at this shoddy copycat product of its own. He fired a Thunderforce Attack hit Uria on the ground, and roared all over his face as if to say——
——Do you dare to copy me?!
You are a toad jumping off a cliff and want to pretend to be Batman!
Uria felt aggrieved: Brother, please calm down, the unscrupulous card dealer Consortium K insists on giving me such an appearance to use Brother’s popularity to defraud money. I am also very desperate!
Although Sacred Beasts were also very powerful spirits, there was a big difference in the combat power of a Pokemon with a trainer and a wild Pokemon. The sky dragon was controlled by Yuei Vu, and Uria was by himself, so there was no doubt about the result.
In less than three minutes, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames was successfully suppressed and sealed by Duel King Yuei Vu.
A year later, Uria's brothers "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" and "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" both appeared, suspected to be trying to find a way to rescue the brother who was sealed last year.
When the two Sacred Beasts appeared, it was like a landslide, the earth was split, the sun and the moon were darkened, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the city felt like an earthquake.
The government immediately evacuated the people sealed off the relevant areas, and sent top-secret special duelists to deal with it. However, ordinary spirits could not pose a threat to demons of the level of Sacred Beasts, and the special duelists were defeated after three consecutive attacks.
In the end, Seto Kaiba drove his iconic "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" jet to the scene in time and summoned his legendary spirit "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". Duel King Yuei Vu also arrived with him and called out the "Contrast HERO Chaos" to help out.
Then the first-generation Duel King Muto Yugi, who happened to be present at the time, also stepped forward and summoned the legendary spirit "Dark Magician" to take action.
It was worth mentioning that although the "Millennium Puzzle" dug out by Kaiba no longer contained the soul of the king, the pendant itself was still a Millennium Item.
This artifact left in the world seemed to have recognized Muto Yugi as its master, giving him extraordinary power that was second to none in the entire underground world.
The three powerful spirits worked together to defeat Hamon and Raviel, and successfully sealed them into cards.
There were rumors that the top-secret department of the military took a fancy to the strength of the three legendary duelists present and extended an olive branch to them.
Officer Fujino, who was in charge of recruitment at the time, tried his best to persuade, saying that the world was facing turmoil and similar crises would become more and more common. One day you would encounter a crisis that could not be solved by a single duelist, and you must unite to solve the threat…
But Yugi, Kaiba, and Yuei Vu were not willing to cooperate with the army, nor were they willing to be bound by rules, so all three refused.
But when Kaiba thought about it, he felt that what the other party said seemed reasonable. So with a wave of his hand, he recruited Yuei Vu and Yugi as friends on the spot, and decided to fund the establishment of an organization called the "Duelist Alliance" to deal with the largest supernatural crises…
