Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Making the World Depressed
"Impossible! There's even a counter-trap [the Dark Bribe]?!"
Upon seeing the familiar pattern of the counterattack trap, Aporia, the red-and-grey-haired cyborg who was his dueling opponent in the distance, exclaimed in shock with an incredulous expression!
"!!!"
Meanwhile, in the distance, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, and others who were watching the battle all widened their eyes with strange expressions!
Good heavens! It's another Dark Bribe!
Under normal circumstances, this counter-trap [Dark Bribe] would have the side effect of forcing the opponent to draw cards.
For Aporia, this might be a good thing.
However, based on the opponent's recent "self-disclosure," the remaining eleven cards in their deck are all Machine-Type monsters.
So this counter-trap [the Dark Bribe] is a "negative effect" for Jiang He, but a positive effect for Aporia.
It turned into a deadly "poison"!
This made Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others all want to unleash a torrent of complaints at Jiang He!
As expected of you!
Even a counter-trap like [The Dark Bribe], which originally had significant side effects, has become so sinister!
Meanwhile, in the distance opposite, Aporia, the red-and-gray-haired cyborg who was his duel opponent, suddenly turned his face into a mix of black, red, and green!
It was as spectacular as a dyeing workshop!
He never expected that among the cards hidden in Jiang He's field, there would actually be a counter-trap [Dark Bribe]!
This is a side-effect Trap Card that a normal player would include in their deck?!

"You should already be quite familiar with the effect of this counter-trap [Dark Bribe], which can Null and Void the opponent's magic and traps!"
Upon hearing the pleasant and familiar system notification sound, Jiang He's smile widened even further!
With a bright, sunny smile, he looked at Aporia in the distance and "thoughtfully" reminded her.
"Of course, as a price and compensation, you can draw one card from your deck."
"Then let's have a fun gacha draw!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Aporia, the red-and-gray-haired cyborg who was his dueling opponent in the distance, immediately turned even redder and darker!
Even the blue electric arc sparks that had short-circuited due to excessive voltage surged even faster!
I really had a strong urge to swear at Jiang He!
Are you trying to make drawing cards a pleasant experience for everyone?
You want to see a fully battle-damaged version of cyborgs?
[Ding! Aporia's Emotion Points +2000!]
Ultimately, under the "thoughtful" reminder of Jiang He He's sunny smile, Aporia could only helplessly clench his black giant fist and draw the card whose fate was already sealed from his own Duel Disk deck!
Machine-Type Monster Card, [Meklord Emperor /Sky Emperor Infinity]!
"Buzz!!"
Almost the instant he drew it out, brown, corrosive energy began to appear on it!
"Unfortunately, according to the effect of the Trap Card [Acid Rust Mechanical Virus], in the next three turns..."
Destroy all the Machine-type monsters you draw, and you will receive 500 damage for each one destroyed!
Seeing this completely predictable result, Jiang He's face immediately lit up with a smile as he gestured towards Aporia!
"You have just drawn a Machine-type monster, therefore you are inflicting 500 damage!"
"Acid Erosion!"
With a smile, Jiang He snapped his fingers.
In the distance opposite, the card that the red-and-gray-haired cyborg Aporia had just drawn from his hand shattered into a shower of orange-yellow particle fragments with a "bang" under the brown corrosive energy, disappearing completely!
Immediately, the brown, rusty energy tornado swept and impacted Aporia!
"Er!!"
Instantly, Aporia let out a muffled groan and a scream of excruciating pain!
His remaining [400LP] health points were instantly and completely wiped out!
Along with its original blue and white, muscular, cyborg-like body, resembling Little Elemental HERO Neos, it was now covered in rust and crashed to the ground!
"Jiang He won!"
Upon seeing this, Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, Sherry, and the others all showed a hint of surprise!
On the other side, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Yusei Fudo, and the white-haired dwarf Lazar also showed a hint of joy!
Then they all rushed forward to see what was going on!
Soon, not far away, the battle-damaged, red-and-grey-haired cyborg Aporia, covered in brown rust, came into view. His mechanical body had already fallen in the Shadow Duel.
It gradually dissipated from the bottom up, turning into a burst of faint light particles!
"Impossible... I actually lost here!"
Aporia, still somewhat disoriented, lay on the ground and looked in Jiang He's direction as she spoke.
What he found most unacceptable was
Even under these circumstances, they still lost to Jiang He!
"Hmph, but since I've lost, then this mechanically modified body and my life shall be used as payment for your princess's parents' lives as the loser!"
"But don't be too happy yet, at least I've achieved my main goal!"
"The guiding circuit has been completed with the absorption of the final duel energy, and the God's Abode is about to descend completely! The energy of the Shadow Duel is sufficient to replace what is lacking!"
"This New Domino City, and even this reality-fighting world that has completely deviated from its course and may lead to an even worse future, will ultimately face destruction...!"
As the last words fell, the figure of the red-and-gray-haired cyborg Aporia vanished completely, turning into a wisp of light particles!
"The God's Abode?!"
Upon hearing the name again, everyone, including Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Yusei Fudo, and the white-haired dwarf Lazar, couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and doubt!
When the three mechanical clones of Aporia, Jakob and Primo, first appeared, they also mentioned this so-called "God's Abode."
The fact that Aporia brought it up again before disappearing was clearly not just to scare them!
This immediately caused Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, and the others to look at Jiang He with serious expressions!
This also applies to Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, Sherry, and the others who are with Jiang He!
I want to see if Jiang He knows anything!
After all, this person was chosen by a large number of gods!
"..." This made Jiang He's expression freeze for a moment, and he felt a headache coming on.
After all, the person behind the red-and-gray-haired cyborg Aporia hasn't shown up yet.
It's not convenient for Jiang Daishanren, to say it directly!
Otherwise, how he knew the other person's identity is a bit hard to explain.
It's really hard to find a good reason!
It can't be that the Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl, who chose him, or some other god told him...

However, Jiang He quickly came up with a plausible reason!
Immediately, a golden eye-shaped mark appeared on his wrist.
"If I had just used the power of the Dark Great Evil God Mark - Millennium Eye Mark that I recently obtained..."
If there are no problems with what I learned when I read the mind of that red-and-gray-haired cyborg Aporia...
"The so-called ' Abode of God ' that the other party just mentioned should refer to a special technological city called the Arc Cradle, or you could say, the New Domino City of the future."
"Black, Dark Great Evil God Mark - Millennium Eye Mark?!"
Upon seeing the golden, Millennium Eye Mark mark appear briefly on their wrists, Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the others all widened their eyes in surprise!
He stared at Jiang He in astonishment!
I really do want to complain a bit!
Good grief, you've been chosen by a new Kami again?!
For a moment, they were unsure whether to follow the proper procedure of expressing their envy or simply remain silent...!
Are you selling game codes wholesale here?!
Even Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, Crow, who were also chosen by the original Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl, all showed bewildered expressions!
However, Yusei Fudo quickly realized what was happening and looked at Jiang He with a puzzled expression, asking, "Then, what about the ' Arc Cradle,' the Abode of God that Aporia mentioned?"
What exactly is going on in the future, in the New Domino City?!
"Masaka, is that Aporia actually a human from the future?!" Bastion Misawa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
After all, this New Domino City is a prime example of a future timeline appearing in this real-world dueling world due to a spacetime singularity!
So it's not impossible that Aporia comes from an even more future time...!
"Based on what I learned from reading the mind of that red-and-gray-haired cyborg Aporia, it seems that the perpetual motion machine went berserk because the Synchro Summon were too frequent."
This resulted in a large amount of released energy being absorbed by numerous Meklord Emperor series monsters from the Duel Monsters Spirit World, which then materialized and invaded the real-world Duel Monsters universe.
Seeing the questioning looks from Alexis Rhodes and the others, Jiang He nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Ultimately, this led to the destruction of the entire future dueling world, leaving only four humans, including Aporia."
"And the person the other side referred to as God was none other than their companion and leader, known as 'Zone.'"
"In the more distant future, will the real-world dueling world be destroyed, leaving only four humans?!"
Upon hearing Jiang He's words, everyone, including Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, Yusei Fudo, and Jack Atlas, couldn't help but show expressions of shock!
Their eyes widened in surprise!
This also applies to Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, Sherry, and the others!
They suddenly remembered that before Aporia completely disappeared, he did seem to have mentioned the current situation, which could lead to future destruction...!
They initially thought the other person was talking nonsense, but now it seems quite possible that it's true!
"So, the real reason why the other side wants to destroy New Domino City, and even most of the real-world dueling world, is that Masaka's only goal is to change the fate of being completely destroyed in the future?!"
