Three days can feel neither long nor short, but after seventy-two hours have rushed by, many things have been completed.
During these three days, Yusei and the rest of the 5DS Team paid a visit to other teams. Even Izayoi Aki, who is rather reserved and shy, visited several women's teams. In this way, the 5DS Team essentially made rounds to all the teams.
The team that consumed the most time—or rather, where everyone sat down to talk the longest—was the Team Ragnarok and the New World Team that Yusei visited.
No need to elaborate on Team Ragnarok; during Yusei's visit, he realized an important point he had previously overlooked. As for the New World Team, it surprised him.
Earlier, when Jack dueled with Paradox from the New World, Yusei thought the New World Team harbored hostility towards people of their era. But when he visited, the New World's trio welcomed him warmly.
The trio already knew about Yusei's "Creation Philosophy," so it wasn't unexpected. In fact, the trio was willing to support Yusei in a certain way, but they held their ground—Yusei must show them hope that his philosophy can be realized, or else they won't support him.
In response, Yusei wasn't surprised.
Even ZONE doesn't support him much. Although ZONE provided him with many new cards, he isn't optimistic about Yusei's prospects.
Yusei accepted this "challenge," and then he heard a cold snort.
Paradox took out a card and tossed it to him.
He held the card and looked at its name, puzzled: "Malefic Paradigm Dragon… What is this?"
"If you dare to integrate these cards into your deck, then I will look forward to you."
"I see." Aporia understood Paradox's intent. "Malefic cards and Synchro don't pair well, and Fudou Yusei, every duelist's deck is meticulously tuned and selected by the individual. Extra unused cards could hinder the deck and become useless in the hand.
If you're willing to accept this, that will be enough for us to acknowledge you."
Malefic Paradigm Dragon is not only a LV 10 Monster that cannot be Normal Summoned, but it also requires you to banish Malefic monsters from the Extra Deck for a Special Summon. Yusei has no Malefic Extra Monsters, so this card is indeed a "junk card" in Yusei's deck.
Yusei listened and understood their meaning, then decisively placed those cards into his deck in front of everyone, flipping the deck to reveal the Junk Synchron at the bottom.
That is his deck.
Aporia and Paradox snorted coldly but did not say any more.
"Then, stand until the end in this war of God's proxies, Fudou Yusei."
"I will. So, everyone, farewell." Fudou Yusei slowly said goodbye to the three of them.
Apart from the New World Team, Yusei also conversed at length with the guy using Phantom Dragon and the guy using Karakuri. Over three days, he gained quite a bit, except for some areas that left him slightly perplexed.
One such area was the Despair Team; this team refused to communicate with any other factions. When Yusei went to visit, he saw a young man dressed in white with some artificial machinery, vigorously knocking on the door as if seeking revenge.
Fudou Yusei remembered his name seemed to be Tenjo Kaito.
In any case, aside from this little episode, Fudou Yusei's visits were smooth, even proactively sought out by the City Hall Team's "Yuto" due to Hikari's influence. Seeing his face, which was identical to Yugo's, left him a bit dazed.
But Yuto's demeanor—much calmer than Yugo's—kept him from feeling too disoriented.
More importantly, when Fudou Yusei interacted with Yuto, it was apparent how different Yuto was from Yugo in "Attributes."
This is a special "vision" he acquired after accepting ZONE's body modification.
According to ZONE, this observational ability is quite similar to a Spirit's.
When a Spirit observes a being, they start by scrutinizing its "Duel Attributes." Having undergone modification, he became a "United God," yet not a true god, naturally lacking "Comprehensive Vision" and instead possessing skewed vision.
Yugo seemed to bear Synchro shadows, while Yuto's soul appeared grander. But regardless of who, they harbored a destructive impulse which was unexpected.
Even more unexpected was one point.
That is, the destructiveness on Yuto appeared much larger than Yugo.
Though they are the same age.
Furthermore, Yuto seemed far more rational than Yugo.
Very peculiar.
Elsewhere, after Yusei hurriedly departed, Tenjo Kaito stopped knocking at the door.
He had been very amicable actually.
Just because his aura was immensely oppressive, to Yusei it seemed somewhat fierce, but those familiar with Tenjo Kaito would undoubtedly exclaim "Goodness me, I've never seen such a gentle Kaito!" or similar remarks.
Over three days he visited three times. As it was a rare break, Tenjo Kaito was eager to see Haruto.
Yet in those three days, he didn't see Haruto, let alone the other members of the Despair Team.
IV?
Why didn't he come out to see me either?
