After Kaiba announced the start of the game, the students spontaneously walked out of the venue and went outside without anyone needing guidance. They found that the only ones who had been "transferred" were them and the building itself, Duel Academy.
The other parts of the .area do not appear around.
What replaced the original environment was a vast grassland. There was no path for people to follow, and they had to find their own way. As for whether there was any danger hidden in the waist-deep grass.
.....
There's nothing to be afraid of, right? After all, President Kaiba said, this is a virtual world!
Some people are still jumping around, experiencing physical sensations that are completely consistent with the real world. Some people even squat down on the ground and start to carefully observe the soil on the ground that is not a fixed model but has a real collision volume and even material properties.
Some people were already running regardless of the direction of the giant tree reaching the sky in the distance, and began to cross the grassland.
However, the person who attracted the most attention was neither the researchers who performed strange actions, nor the most reckless forerunners, nor even special contestants like Judai and others, but Souji Kagurazaka from the Yellow Dormitory.
Because of the uniqueness of "Blue Eyes White Dragon", there are only three of them in the world, so even if she tried to imitate Muto games, Kagurazaka never had the thought of imitating Kaiba Seto because she just saw with her own eyes all Kaiba's actions after he appeared.
, instinctively want to start imitating the other party.
However, after all, he did not have the card of [Blue Eyes White Dragon], so he could not imitate Kaiba 100% no matter what, but he did have a light attribute dragon monster with the same level 8☆ on hand - [Sparkling Dragon]
].
Not paying attention to other people's looks at Chuunibyou, Kagurazaka even deliberately used her voice to imitate Kaiba's slightly hoarse magnetic voice, raised the hand holding the card high and stretched it into the air, shouting: "Come out
Come on, Wagata Mahi!"
"You're not very good at this, Kagurazaka. Just now, President Kaiba didn't raise his hands, but folded his arms in front of his chest in a cool way." Looking at Kagurazaka's rather middle-class movements
, several classmates from Huang’s dormitory said with a smile.
"Although I am still imitating others, even on this path, I am still hoping to find my own path." Kagurazaka paused, looked at the card he raised and said, "In other words,
I think this kind of action is more handsome."
"Then, let me see how high the borrowed wings can fly! [Sparkling Dragon]!"
As Kagurazaka's words fell, he found that the card he held up actually emitted a golden light that surrounded him, and then a golden dragon appeared out of thin air in the light, spreading its wings and carrying
Kagurazaka soars into the sky!
Without wearing or using a Duel Disk, he actually summoned the card monster just by relying on the cards he carried with him!
Kagurazaka himself did not expect that his impulsive move actually succeeded. Not only was he surprised, but his classmates on the ground who were watching Kagurazaka "ascend to the sky" were also dumbfounded.
No, buddy, are you serious?
And when the students in the yellow dormitory looked like "ask the Bull Demon King to come out and see God together", although they were not as fast as Kagurazaka, who was good at imitating and had extremely high mobility, there were also many students in the blue dormitory.
The students in the Huang dormitory were still confused and successfully summoned their card monsters by raising the cards in the same action.
"[Seahorse]!" "[Mo Linfen]!" "[Lion Wizard]!"
Although the summoned monsters are a bit subtle, there is no doubt that they, like Kaiba and Kagurazaka, successfully summoned card monsters without wearing or using a Duel Disk!
"Hmph, the people in the yellow dormitory are really not very smart. Haven't you understood the situation until now?" A student in the blue dormitory was held up by the demon [Mo Linfen] wearing a long skirt and having a shark head with disdain.
He looked at the other students who still couldn't understand the situation, ignored the red dormitory who was not even qualified to be ridiculed by him, and said contemptuously to the students in the yellow dormitory, "Obviously, Master Kaiba has demonstrated it, and so has Brother Wanzhangmu.
Demonstrate with your own monster.”
"In this world, even without using a duel disk, you can freely summon card monsters. They are not even the illusory projections in reality but physical card monsters!"
Obviously, they got inspiration from the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] that flew into the sky without permission before and then immediately gave in and ran back.
"I'm not from Hunji Dao, I'm Mr. Wan Zhangmu!" Wan Zhangmu said unhappily when he heard other people calling him, and looked at the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] who had followed him to the grassland outside.
Turning his head, he glanced at the [Winglizi Ball] next to Judai, and mocked: "It seems that some people have no monsters that can replace them. After all, there seem to be only some small humanoid monsters in his deck."
That’s all.”
"Well, if I make a sincere request to Mr. Wan Zhangmu, I won't be able to let you get a ride."
"Hey~ Banzhangmu, are you planning to use a monster instead?" Judai looked at the other students around him. Even though he was not able to accept the setting of this virtual world so quickly, after so many people demonstrated it, there were many others.
People have successfully summoned their monsters, and most of them have chosen to use monsters as mounts to live out their addiction to dragon knights, wolf knights, or other kinds of messy knights.
"That one over there, get off [the lucky girl], the Internet is not a lawless place, no!" Professor Kuronos was riding on a gear motorcycle, pointing at a person who seemed to be thinking about something very bad.
The knight's student said.
Judai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's forget it, because it's rare to come to a world like this, isn't it? There's no time limit for getting there anyway, so I plan to walk there."
"Walking there?" He glanced at the giant tree in the distance, looked at Judai who was smiling stupidly, and confirmed, "Have you ever heard of the old saying 'Looking up the mountain and running to death'?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Wan Zhangmu was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "There is obviously a way to reach the destination quickly, but do you have any obsession with moving forward on foot? Even those who set out first saw us summoning the card elves.
I’ve already started trying to summon card monsters for transportation.”
"Because heroes in epics are like this. They all travel to reach somewhere and continue to create legends along the way, such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Odyssey". They use portals just to reach their destination.
It’s not cool at all!”
I thought Judai would have some special reason, but after hearing what he said, his eyes were full of black lines: "That's it?"
"Forget it, it's up to you. Anyway, Mr. Wan Zhangmu, I plan to arrive at the location of the tree as soon as possible. Although there is no time limit explicitly stated, it is impossible for us to mess around like a game.
It will take you a few days to visit, and the sooner you get there, the better.”
Having said this, Wanzhangmu knew that Judai was actually a fool. If he decided to move forward on foot, he had to walk all the way. Maybe he would be able to recognize the reality when he was tired or too late.
.
Banjomu didn't say anything more, and began to fly on the [Dragon of Light and Darkness], catching up with those who had left first. Beside Judai, Sho Marufuji took the initiative to express his position: "Brother, how are you going?
I will leave as I please, and I will never lose you this time!"
He just tried it. There seems to be no restrictions on physical strength in this virtual world. Even Sho Marufuji can run as fast as he can in reality without feeling tired or exhausted. At most, he is mentally healthy.
It just feels like I am tired from exercising all the time.
If Judai leads the charge and rushes all the way like the last time the "Seven Stars" invaded, Sho Marufuji is confident that he will never fall behind and be caught this time.
"It's the same for me. It's so satisfying to be able to have a final adventure with Judai before leaving school." Maeda Hayato also said with great interest. Although his appearance in this world has not changed, his actions are different.
There is no physical limit and it becomes much easier. I no longer get out of breath due to my own weight after moving for a while. I am very interested in "hiking" with Judai.
However, they were the only two people traveling with Judai. Asuka left for a short while on the way out of the venue, but when she returned to Judai's side, there were two more people beside her.
Junko: "Hey~"
Momoe: "Hi~"
"As you can see, Judai, Junko and Momoe thought that they would not play in the afternoon, so they did not bring their own decks, and there was no way to summon even one monster to take their place." Asukaichi
With a helpless expression on his face, he said to Judai apologetically, "Although this is a virtual world, I always feel that I can't just leave them alone, so I plan to use monsters to take them to the destination first. I can't follow them.
You traveled together."
"It's okay, Asuka, let's meet again under that big tree." Although he was a little sorry for Asuka's departure, Judai still comforted her and said, "After all, we made an appointment to meet again in the next game, right? It's a promise.
Good things must be done.”
"By the way, speaking of which, it seems that you haven't seen Caesar, Fubuki and the others?"
Not far behind Judai, Misawa squatted on the ground and said without raising his head: "Caesar's words didn't seem to come out of the venue at all, but I saw the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] flying out from there. It seemed that he
In it, you already know how to summon card monsters."
"As for Tenjoin Fubuki, it seems that he has already set off with a few girls from the blue dormitory, and Rikki Mackenzie is also among them."
"Huh~ They didn't even say hello? Doesn't that mean that Asuka and I are the slowest players?" Judai said in surprise. When he turned around, he saw the ground in front of Misawa covered with writing
Various formulas were asked, "This is?"
"I have tested it. Gravity, temperature, inertia, and even human body pulse and chemical changes are all simulated here. This virtual world is very interesting, isn't it, Judai?" Misawa said excitedly, "I have a hunch.
If I could calculate that thing, it would definitely be something extraordinary. I am more interested in this unknown world than taking risks."
"Sorry, Judai, please move your feet, I can't write anymore."
"Oh." Judai also moved his feet away immediately and watched Misawa enthusiastically write formulas on the ground on branches that he couldn't understand at all. He scratched his head, but he didn't go into the details.
After Asuka set off with Junko and Momoe on her [Old Sage Dai Shiryu], Judai also said excitedly: "Yoshi! Let's set off too, the goal is the end of the world!"
"But then again, what does 'Odin's Horse' mean, and what are those two English words?"
Marufuji Sho saw that Judai actually turned his head towards him, and quickly shook his head to show that he didn't know, and looked at Maeda Hayato on the other side of Judai. Maeda Hayato had a deep understanding of this aspect, and the three of them
While moving forward, he explained to Judai and Sho:
"The meaning of the two words themselves is actually the reminder itself, 'Odin's Horse', 'Ygg' originally means scary, and is one of the names of the main god Odin in Norse mythology, and 'Drasill' means horse.
.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "However, if it is just 'Odin's horse', what usually comes to mind is Odin's mount, the eight-legged horse 'Sleipnir'
Sleibnir, but adding those two English words specifically refers to another existence."
"In the West, when prisoners are hanged, they call it 'horse riding'. This origin is taken from the Nordic mythology where the main god Odin hung himself upside down on the World Tree as a sacrifice to himself, hence the so-called 'Odin's Horse','
Yggdrasill', the real target it refers to is the giant tree in Nordic mythology that connects the nine worlds - the World Tree!"
Speaking of excitement, Maeda even took the eucalyptus leaves from the [Death Koala] next to him and stuffed them into his mouth, and then looked at his [intoxicated state] that jumped on his face after just one bite.
As a reminder, he quickly raised his throat again.
"In other words, that tree is the World Tree? It feels more epic!" Judai and others did not understand, but at least they understood that this virtual world seemed to be using mythology as a background template, and said excitedly, "
Are there any famous heroes in Norse mythology? Should we imitate them to enhance the sense of immersion?"
"There are many legends in Nordic mythology, but it seems that they are all dead. Even the gods are not dead, and even the world is destroyed."
"Eh!? Then this world will also be destroyed, right?" Sho Marufuji was frightened and looked up at the stars in the sky in a panic. Then, he saw that the stars in the night sky did not move, but the moon did.
He was clearly moving, and something seemed to be chasing him.
The virtual world adventure of Judai and others is still going on, but for the time being, let’s turn our attention back to the duel venue where no one was left after they left.
"That guy Kaiba is planning something terrible." Jonouchi said seriously, "Obviously, the virtual world that I, Hayato, and the game experienced together with Kaiba before was not like this."
"What we were testing was the upper limit of the carrying capacity of this virtual world. It must be a different version from the one officially launched for people to play." After a pause, the game also said, "But I didn't expect Haima to have such a plan.
.”
"What kind of plan is this? Can you not tell me a riddle?" Peacock Dance crossed his arms in front of his chest and said puzzledly, "Why don't I see anything special about it?"
"Although Hayato has been mentioning it repeatedly with a bit of joking meaning, the 'Lesson' he has always summarized actually has certain basis, the most important of which is what he called 'Lesson3'——"
Trust the card, just trust it'."
Jonouchi took out a card from his body and stretched it forward, and the monster [Earth Star Swordsman] was summoned by him effortlessly.
"I tried my best to make the virtual world so that people can't distinguish between reality and fiction, and then deliberately let the students enter the virtual world without loading the existence of the duel disk, and just let them bring the cards they carry into the virtual world.
Using cards to summon card monsters while relying on the virtual projection system, do you know what this means?"
The game answers Jonouchi’s question: “This means that when duelists get used to summoning card monsters in this world, because they cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, they will subconsciously think that they have the ability to summon card monsters out of thin air in the real world.
The ability, and this subconscious mind of 'believing that the card will respond to itself', let alone the card spirit, can at least allow the duelist to grow by leaps and bounds."
"It no longer matters how everything that happens in this virtual world makes people feel, because the virtual world 'Duel-Links' itself is the most important thing!"
In reality, Hayato, who was not at the scene, stood in the main control room, looking at one of the countless screens, and clearly heard the words of the game coming from inside.
"Kaiba actually has such a plan? I asked him why he attaches so much importance to this Duel Link World. But Gomamon, have you checked the data and found anything abnormal?"
"It's not Gomamon, it's Keihei!" Keihei said without looking back while holding a candy wrapped in a chocolate shell, pressing his hands on the keyboard in front of him, "Although Hayato-san, you said that this virtual world will attract...
There are other worlds, but at least I can’t find anything unusual from here.”
"Whether it was before or after starting, even my brother went there to check it personally. There was nothing abnormal. Brother Hayato, are you really sure that there will be an accident?"
"I wasn't sure at first, but after I saw that the game world you designed automatically using AI was actually based on Norse mythology, and even used this pattern as a logo, I was very sure." Looking at one of the screens,
Hayato said firmly as the dots arranged like trees appeared on the tree.
"Haima and Chi Hong, you can't find any problems using technological means. It seems that I can only enter that world myself and use other means to check."
Stepping into a game cabin specially prepared here, Hayato shouted the activation words: "Marshin, activate!"
