I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game

The person who appeared in this abandoned facility and looked at the Signers with a smile on his face was none other than the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Rex Godwin, who was supposed to be dead.

"Godwin!?" Jack, who was most familiar with Godwin, was the first to be surprised, "Aren't you dead?"

That night, not long after Yusei left the Public Security Bureau, Jack also rushed to Godwin's room. He saw Godwin's cold body with his own eyes and reached out to feel his breath, confirming that this guy was dead for sure.

But now, Godwin was clearly standing here, looking like nothing had happened.

Godwin glanced at Ushio who was lying powerlessly on the ground and said, "I don't know whether to say that this guy is too lucky or too unlucky. He seems to have fallen into the ground in the earthquake accident in Neo Domino and happened to fall into the bridge that leads directly to the old Momentum Research Institute."

"Directly to the old Momentum?" Jack said, "You mean, the research institute and Neo Domino are connected?"

"Yes." Godwin smiled, "You should also know that Neo Domino and the Satellite area were originally the same city. In the past, they were collectively called "Domino City", aka the Battle City, and the hometown of the first generation of Duel King.

But the Zero Reverse accident tore the city into two halves, one half is Neo Domino and the other half is the Satellite area.

Many people think that the waste Momentum was thrown in the uninhabited area of ​​the Satellite area, which makes the citizens feel at ease because in this way they don't have to sleep next to a nuclear bomb that could detonate at any time.

However, the fact is that the institute was also torn in half in that accident. One part is in the Satellite area, and the other part has been sleeping in the underground of Neo Domino. "

At this point, he snapped his fingers.

The crisp snap of his fingers was like turning on a switch, and the dark passage was immediately illuminated. Rainbow-like seven-color light patterns crawled out along the cold floor and walls, covering the entire corridor like a radiating spider web.

"This is…"

Yusei looked at the patterns on the walls and floor and felt that the light was soft and warm, but at the same time, it was indescribably weird.

"The light of the old Momentum." Godwin said, "Many people think that the old Momentum has been destroyed after the ‘Zero Reverse' accident, but it has not been.

The meaning of the perpetual motion machine is that it can run forever. After the Zero Reverse, when the institute was abandoned for so many years, it still continued to run and connected Neo Domino and the Satellite area together. "

Godwin gestured to the unconscious Ushio.

"This unlucky guy accidentally fell from Neo Domino to this ruins through that connection."

"Pay attention to his face, Yusei." Yuei Vu reminded, "This guy is no longer human."

After being reminded, Yusei noticed the lines on Godwin's face that looked like the Nazca lines, which he had not been able to see clearly before because of the bad light.

And his eyes, dark and empty, lifeless like a dead person.

Yusei narrowed his eyes: "Have you… become a Dark Signer, Godwin?"

"As expected of the son of Dr. Fudo, you understand the situation very quickly." He smiled.

"Do you know my father?" Yusei asked, "What do you mean when you say he entrusted the future to you?"

"It means literally."

Godwin said with a smile.

"Seventeen years ago, before the Zero Reverse accident, your father, Dr. Fudo, was the person in charge of Momentum research project, which he named his own son after. And I… was his top assistant."

Yusei's pupils shrank.

"You… were my father's assistant in developing Momentum?"

"Yes. The operation of Momentum actually caused a series of abnormalities back then, and Dr. Fudo strongly requested to shut down the Yusei Project, fearing that it would be dangerous.

But unfortunately, the people above not only did not listen to his advice but fired him from the position of person in charge.

And after that, my brother, Rudger Godwin, took the position of the person in charge of the Yusei Project."

The Signers who had never heard of these secrets back then were suddenly a little shocked.

"Rudger Godwin… after that, he lost to the temptation of the evil god's power, gave up the power of his Dragon Mark, and turned to become a Dark Signer, right?" Yusei asked in a deep voice.

These should have been the contents of Rex Godwin's explanation in the original work, and Yusei should not have known them. But Yuei Vu had mentioned it to him during the previous investigation, so he knew a little bit about this secret.

This time, it was Godwin who was surprised.

"Oh? You know so much?"

He looked at Yusei seriously for a moment.

"As expected of the son of Dr. Fudo, you can dig so close to the truth from those trivial clues back then…

…But it's only close.

Sometimes, the reality of this world is that the truth is not always revealed to the world. Those chess players who promote history, with all-powerful power, can control the fate of thousands of people without leaving any traces without showing up, and promoting the direction of history.

And when the dust settles, you can't even find their names from the fragments of history."

Jack and others were confused, but Yusei understood a little bit of what he wanted to say.

"Are you trying to say that your brother Rudger is also a pawn in someone's plan?"

"Yes." Godwin said softly, "At that time, Dr. Fudo strongly requested to stop the development of Momentum, but my brother Rudger refused.

He privately investigated the cause of the abnormality of the perpetual motion machine, and it was at that time that my brother came into contact with the legend of the fateful confrontation between the Signers and the Dark Signers thousands of years ago, and also knew that the cycle of fate was about to begin."

At this point, Godwin's voice sank and his face became gloomy.

"And it was at that time that the organization that called itself ‘Iliaster' appeared in front of him. They told my brother that the Yusei Project must continue no matter what, and behind the light of the perpetual motion machine are possibilities that humans can hardly imagine.

After that, Dr. Fudo was fired and my brother was appointed as the new person in charge until my brother was eroded by the power of the Dark Signer and caused the tragedy of the Zero Reverse, everything was just a chess game of ‘Iliaster'.

Their power is everywhere, and they are omnipotent. The fate of millions of people is easily played by them, and they don't even need to show up in person."

When several people heard this, they felt it was a fairy tale.

Iliaster… Is there really such a magical organization in the world?

The revival of the Dark Signers and the Zero Reverse, are all these responsible for that group of people?

Yusei instinctively cast an inquiring look at Yuei Vu next to him again, and Yuei Vu nodded affirmatively, indicating that Godwin was telling the truth.

He knew this part of the plot. "Iliaster" was actually a group of people from the future at the end of time. Their leader was Z-ONE, the last human being in the world and the only remaining savior of mankind.
