Chapter 20. Underworld-style Eldlich! You Can Play This Kind of Deck Too?
Yugi Muto's words had already proved one point.
What he was watching—
Everyone in this so-called Duel Monsters world knew it.
Sei Yuki was finding it hard to keep a straight face.
The people of this world—could they actually be the real people from the anime?
Given the situation right now—
It seemed to be saying that this possibility was real.
If that was really the case, then what on earth was this app…
Sei Yuki shook his head a bit and paused the short video.
[Seto Kaiba: "Hmph! Why did you pause, kid? Not planning to keep watching?"]
[Rex Raptor: "Hey, hey, hey! Kid! Hurry up and show me the dinosaur short! I'm the regional runner-up, Rex Raptor!"]
[Joey Wheeler: "Don't listen to him! Put on a Red-Eyes short! How's my Red-Eyes doing in the future?"]
[Yugi Muto: "You could consider Dark Magician. The Dark Magician line is actually quite good."]
[Mai Valentine: "Mm-hm, little brother, how about considering Amazoness and Harpie Lady?"]
…
All right.
After reading those barrage comments.
Sei Yuki could now be one hundred percent certain.
The people inside the first "DM Duel Time" unlocked by this app were truly watching the duel shorts in sync with him.
"Hah, I really didn't expect this."
"This app can even do that?"
"Hiss… that's a bit much."
"But, whatever."
"Just treat it as online friends discussing things."
"Even if it's a little fantastical…"
Sei Yuki took a deep breath and exhaled.
With this so-called DM Duel World confirmed to be open—
It could also be confirmed that he could use more of the money earned from finishing videos to unlock other Duel Worlds.
For example, the GX Duel World, the 5D's Duel World, the ZEXAL Duel World, and so on.
If the card-gifting feature and the Duel Invitation feature were unlocked…
Now that would get interesting.
Sei Yuki: "Okay, I trust you all. If there's anything you want to watch later, or anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Sei Yuki: "I'll try to use short videos—and what I know—to answer your questions about dueling in our world."
…
Duel Monsters world.
While Sei Yuki was probing them, Seto Kaiba and the others were also probing Sei Yuki.
When they saw that Sei Yuki could really control the playback of the video content, and that Sei Yuki's world was truly different from theirs—
Seto Kaiba smiled, and Yugi Muto and Pharaoh Atem smiled as well.
They had originally worried they wouldn't be able to connect with this person from a higher world.
Now that worry could be put aside.
They could make good use of this and learn more about dueling in that higher world!
They had to figure it out completely!
What were "staples"?
What on earth were Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Maxx "C," and why did everyone run three copies of them?
And what was this "K-Snake," anyway?
Also, what exactly was the Forbidden & Limited List?
That world was just too mysterious.
…
GX world.
Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix, who weren't connected, were still chatting and laughing as they discussed HERO's power.
Because the HERO tutorial had left such a deep impression on so many people—
Quite a few duelists wanted to become HERO players!
"Hahaha! Say no more! From now on—call me HERO-p!"
"Quit pretending. Your grades are all at the bottom, and you really think you can learn HERO like big bro Jaden and pro duelist Aster Phoenix?"
"Exactly. Do you even understand those HERO lines? Do you know how Elemental HERO Stratos makes a one-card line?"
"So what if I don't understand? It doesn't stop me from wanting to play HERO, does it?"
"…"
Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix listened, troubled, to the other students' enthusiasm for HERO.
At the side, Professor Vellian Crowler and Chancellor Sheppard both felt emotional.
What Crowler felt was that the HERO deck he had once looked down on was actually shining so ridiculously bright in that world.
What Chancellor Sheppard felt was that, because of this HERO system's explanatory video—
He hadn't expected HERO's popularity to far outstrip Cyber Dragon's.
You have to know—
Cyber Dragon was the legacy deck of Duel Academy, Chancellor Sheppard's own school!
Back then, Zane Truesdale used Cyber Dragon to teach countless people a harsh lesson!
With Cyber Dragon's power—could it really fail to make waves?
…
While the other worlds were still eager to link up with Sei Yuki—
The short video's Eldlich explanation had already continued.
I'll be an Eldlich Master: "Hello, everyone! Today's deck breakdown is Underworld-style Eldlich."
I'll be an Eldlich Master: "Simply put, this is an underworld-style strategy. You'll get it when you see the build."
Whoosh.
As the video kept rolling—
Several more-or-less similar Eldlich builds appeared before duelists in every world.
And when they saw a page full of red Trap Cards—
All the duelists fell silent.
What in the world? Half the deck is Traps?
Monsters and Spells don't even make up half the deck?
No way!
You can play a deck like this?
