Chapter 271: World Tree Yggdrasill
Chapter 1325 World Tree Yggdrasill
After Kaiba announced the start of the game, no one needed to actively guide him. The students spontaneously walked out of the venue and went outside. They found that the only ones who had been "transferred" were them and the building itself, Duel Academy. Other parts of it are not 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 is 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 and 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 towards the giant tree in the distance and starting to cross the grassland regardless of the situation.
However, the person who attracted the most attention was neither the researchers who performed strange actions, nor the most reckless pioneers, nor even the special contestants like Judai and others, but Souji Kagurazaka from the Yellow Dormitory.
Kagurazaka, who had never thought of imitating Kaiba Seto even though she tried to imitate Muto games because of the special nature of "Blue Eyes White Dragon", which only has three copies in the world, had just seen with her own eyes all Kaiba's actions after appearing on the stage. , and instinctively want to start imitating each other.
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. She raised the hand holding the card high and stretched it into the air, shouting: "Come out." Come on, Wagga Tamashi!”
"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 flies into the sky!
Without wearing or using a Duel Disk, he actually summoned a card monster with just the cards he carried with him!
Kagurazaka himself didn't expect that his impulsive move actually succeeded. Not only was he surprised, but his classmates who were watching Kagurazaka "ascend to the sky" on the ground 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, not even the illusory projections in reality but physical card monsters!"
Obviously, they were inspired by the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] that flew into the sky without permission before and then immediately gave up 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 give you a ride."
"Eh~ Banzhangmu, are you also going to use monsters to travel?" 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 People successfully summoned their monsters, and most of them chose to use monsters as mounts to live out their addiction to dragon knights, wolf knights, or various other messy knights.
"That one over there, get off [the lucky girl], the Internet is not a lawless place, no!" Professor Kronos was riding a gear motorcycle and pointed at a person who seemed to be thinking about something very bad. The student of the knight said.
Judai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's forget it. Isn't it rare to come to a world like this? 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 advancing 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 "The 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, Wan Zhang's eyes were filled with 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. Spend a few days shopping, 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] to catch 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, 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 stable. It's just a feeling of fatigue from being active all the time.
If Judai led the charge and ran all the way like the last time the "Seven Stars" invaded, Sho Marufuji was confident that he would never fall behind and be caught again this time.
"The same goes for me. It's so satisfying to be able to have one last 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 because of There is no physical limit, which makes it 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 ones traveling with Judai. Asuka left for a short while on her way out of the venue, but when she returned to Judai, there were two more people beside her.
𝘀𝘁𝗼𝟱𝟱.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Junko: "Hey~"
Momoe: "Hi~"
"As you can see, Judai, Junko and Momoe didn't bring their own decks because they thought they wouldn't be playing in the afternoon, 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 under that big tree." Although he was a little regretful about 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 like I didn't see 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 You already know how to summon card monsters there.”
"As for Tensouin Fubuki, it seems that he has already set off with a few girls from the blue dormitory, and Rikki Mackenzie is also among them."
"Eh~ 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 written all over Various formulas were asked, "This is?"
"I have tested it. Gravity, temperature, inertia, and even human body pulse and chemical changes have all been 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, move your feet. I can't write here anymore."
"Oh oh." Judai immediately moved his feet away and watched Misawa write formulas on the ground with branches, which he couldn't understand at all. Scratching his head, he didn't get to the bottom of it.
After Asuka took Junko and Baihui to set off on her [Ancient Saint Dai-Shilong], Judai also said excitedly: "Yoshi! Let's set off too, the goal is the end of the world!"
"But by the way, what does 'Odin's horse' mean, and what about those two English words?"
Marufuji Sho saw that Judai actually turned his head towards him, and hurriedly shook his head to indicate 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. As the three of them moved forward, they explained to Judai and Xiang:
"The meaning of the two words themselves is actually a hint. 'Odin's Horse', 'Ygg' originally means to be scary, and is one of the names of the main god Odin in Norse mythology, and 'Drasill' means horse."
"However, if it is just 'Odin's Horse', people generally think of Odin's mount, the eight-legged divine horse 'Sleipnir', but the addition of those two English words refers to another Existence."
"In the West, when a prisoner is hanged, it is called "riding a horse". This comes from the Norse mythology where the main god Odin hangs himself upside down on the world tree and offers it to himself. Therefore, the so-called "Odin's horse" and "Yggdrasill" refer to the giant tree in the Norse mythology that connects nine worlds - the world tree!"
Speaking of excitement, Maeda took the eucalyptus leaf from the [Death Koala] beside him and stuffed it into his mouth, then looked at the [Poisoned] prompt that jumped on his face after he chewed it, and quickly held his throat.
"In other words, that tree is the World Tree? It feels even more epic!" Judai didn't understand the others, but at least he understood that this virtual world seemed to use 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 Norse mythology, but it seems that they are all dead, even the gods are dead and there are not many left, and even the world is destroyed."
"Huh!? Then this world will not be destroyed too!" Maruto Shoyou was frightened and looked up at the stars in the sky in panic. Then, he saw that the stars in the night sky did not move, but the moon was obviously moving, and it seemed that something was chasing him.
Judai and others' adventure in the virtual world is still going on, but let's turn our attention back to the duel venue where there were not many people left after they left.
"Kaiba is planning something extraordinary." Jonouchi said seriously, "Obviously, the virtual world that I, Hayato, Yugi and Kaiba experienced together before was not like this."
"We were testing the upper limit of the carrying capacity of this virtual world at that time, and it must be a different version from the official version for people to play." After a pause, Yugi also said with emotion, "But I didn't expect Kaiba to have such a plan."
"What is such a plan? Can you not tell riddles?" Peacock Dance said puzzledly with his arms around his chest, "Why don't I see anything special about it?"
"Although Hayato has been repeating it with a bit of a joke, the 'lessons' he has been summing up actually have some basis, and the most important one is what he called 'Lesson 3'-'Believe in the card, just believe it'."
Jonouchi took out a card from his body and stretched it forward, and the monster [Earth Star Swordsman] was summoned by him effortlessly.
"We have done our best to make the virtual world so that people cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. Then, we deliberately do not load the duel disk when students enter the virtual world, but only let them bring the cards with them. Do you know what it means to use cards to summon card monsters without relying on the virtual projection system?"
Yugi answered 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 believe that they have the ability to summon card monsters out of thin air in the real world. This subconscious belief of "believing that the cards will respond to themselves" can at least make duelists grow by leaps and bounds, not to mention whether the card elves can be used."
"It doesn't matter what kind of feelings everything that happens in this virtual world can bring to people, because this virtual world 'Duel-Links' itself is the most important thing!"
In reality, Hayato, who was not at the scene, stood in the control room, looking at one of the countless screens, and clearly heard Yugi's words coming from inside.
"Kaiba actually has such a plan? I was wondering why he takes this Duel Link world so seriously. But Gomamon, did you check if there is anything abnormal in the data?"
"It's not Gomamon, it's Keipi!" Keipi said without turning his head, holding a candy wrapped in a chocolate crisp shell, and his hands were typing on the keyboard in front of him, "Although you said that this virtual world will attract the existence of other worlds, at least I can't find anything abnormal from here."
"Before or after the start-up, even my brother went in and checked it himself, and there was nothing abnormal. Brother Hayato, are you really sure there will be an accident?"
"I was not sure at first, but after seeing that the game world you designed automatically with AI was based on Norse mythology and even used this pattern as the logo, I was very sure." Looking at the dots arranged like a tree on one of the screens, Hayato said with certainty.
"You can't find any problems with Kaiba and Akahira using technological means. It seems that I can only go into that world myself and use other means to check."
Stepping into a game cabin specially prepared here, Hayato shouted the start-up words: "Madoka, start!"
