Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172 – Dark Timelines

Kira knew that, although Yusei Fudo was the responsible protagonist from the start—definitely more reliable than Jaden in GX—his development throughout the show was neatly portrayed.

Z-ONE admitted Yusei wasn’t a King yet, but was the closest anyone in this world had come.

Remembering this, Kira suddenly asked, "If Yusei is the only one close to being a King in this world, then what about you?"

Yes, Z-ONE was someone from this dimension too. Few Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s fans would ever doubt Z-ONE’s might; some even believed he held back during the final battle against Yusei, never truly showing his full power.

Whether that’s true or not, it shows just how powerful Z-ONE must be—many believe he was on a higher level than even Yusei by the end of 5D’s.

Kira figured Z-ONE must also have attained the Duel King realm.

"Me..." Z-ONE’s metallic shell echoed with a heavy sigh.

"Duel King... I did everything I could to reach that realm. But in the end, I was still too late. So what if you become King? In the end, I couldn’t save or change anything.

What does being a King matter anymore? My time is almost up, no matter what."

Kira realized: Z-ONE probably had truly attained the Duel King’s level, but now his body clung to life with the help of survival machinery. Even with all that, his time was almost gone.

He’d run out of time, couldn’t bear the weight of the world anymore, and so excluded himself when discussing the strongest duelists.

"Only a King can become a savior. In the original history, Yusei Fudo was called a savior, a shining star who united people and brought hope. But he wasn’t a King yet—so he couldn’t bear the world’s fate.

Without a true King, no one can shoulder the weight of the world."

Z-ONE’s voice was loud, yet filled with weakness and resignation.

He looked at Kira. "I’m telling you all this because you’re also a King. Even if you’re a King from another world, our interests should be aligned for now."

Kira said, "I just want to prevent the collision of two worlds."

But Z-ONE shook his head.

"No—not just two worlds."

As he spoke, projections appeared in this white space.

Sphere after sphere, countless balls packed densely, all floating in boundless void.

Kira stared. "Is this...?"

"Worlds," Z-ONE said serenely.

"Countless worlds, each supposed to run in parallel—their histories flowing like endless rivers, never stopping, never crossing."

But just then, Kira saw that two spheres were drawing closer together, seemingly about to collide.
