==Summary==
On the planet Earth, [[Yuzu Hiiragi (manga)|Yuzu Hiiragi]] is having a very weird day. First, the client she manages, [[Yuya Sakaki (manga)|Yuya Sakaki]], has risked his life in a [[Turbo Duel]] at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour, against a [[Ren|man]] claiming to be the descendant of [[Yugo (manga)|Yugo]], one of Yuya's multiple personalities, who is an agent of a faction trying to awaken the powers of an entity called [[Genesis Omega Dragon]]. Now, Yuya's sometimes-friend, sometimes-enemy [[Reiji Akaba (manga)|Reiji Akaba]] is doing battle with another of these agents in a space station far above the Earth, while she and Yuya watch from the control room of an abandoned particle accelerator. To make matters worse, she's contractually obligated to pay ''Yuya'' to be his manager. Truly, she has joined up for more than she bargained for. But surely it can't get any weirder.
Far above the Earth, Reiji Akaba prepares to take the next turn in his Duel against [[Isaac]]. Neither player has Summoned a monster, but both of them have loaded their fields with face-down Spells and Traps: a classic showdown. But before he begins the Duel in earnest, Reiji asks that Isaac tell him more about his boss [[Eve]] and her lost lover [[Adam]]. They won't have the time to chat about it after he defeats Isaac, Reiji explains. Calling upon his knowledge of popular culture, Isaac surmises that this is the point where the villain would say, "I'll tell you, since you're doomed anyway." But then again, he's no villain. Reiji snaps that nobody says that. Isaac coughs and continues.
Despite the scientific advances of the distant future where Isaac was born, they had still not solved the problem of war. Adam and Eve were victims of that war, who fled their homes to Isaac's country. Eventually, through their own diligence and hard work, they were enrolled at the very best university the country had to offer, where Isaac himself was enrolled. There, they applied themselves fully to their research, but never lost their belief in using science to help those in need. Their will and convictions moved Isaac, who had been working just as hard, but with no focus. Eventually, his two classmates became his fellow researchers, and his friends.
Reiji asks what the three had been researching so intently, and Isaac explains that it was the [[Solid Vision]] system, pioneered by [[Leo Akaba (manga)|Leo Akaba]] and [[Yusho Sakaki (manga)|Yusho Sakaki]] many, many years ago. The system worked by creating a virtual dimension parallel with the real world, and moving mass particles between them, and their goal was to expand that dimension. However, in their quest, they pierced the veil to another world entirely, a world with a vast, seemingly infinite source of energy, enough to travel through space and time itself. If they could seal the theoretically infinite mass from the Solid Vision system with the infinite energy from this other world would create infinite possibilities for their own.
The process of sealing that infinite energy into a hand-sized card proved understandably difficult, however. That is, until Adam had the idea to use his own body as a tool to harness it, using the card itself as a conduit. The experiment was a success, and Adam himself grasped the forbidden fruit. But while he remained in their lab, his soul was flung through time, as he watched all of human history unfold in the blink of an eye. Seeing it all, he explained to his friends that this energy has a will of its own, and that will was what sent him through time. Eve immediately called for the experiments to end, not wanting to mess with a being with near-infinite energy.
But Adam wouldn't stop, because in those experiments contained answers. Of course, as history would prove, Genesis Omega Dragon would not be tamed, and its power began to rampage as it began to enter their world in earnest. As the situation grew ever more out of hand, Adam realized that only he could prevent G.O.D.'s rampage, and so he fused himself with its energy. His soul was flung between dimensions, and in doing so, sent G.O.D. into a deep slumber. Isaac and Eve were left with a dormant card, and the deep feeling of loss. But even dormant, the power of G.O.D. was immense, and Eve believed that they could use that power for one final task. And so, they began their quest - to find Adam, and bring him back to them.
Isaac concluding begins his story as he duels [[Reiji Akaba (manga)|Reiji Akaba]]turn. With his Scale set from 6 to 9, Isaac can Pendulum Summoning "Summon monsters from Level 7 to 8 from his hand or face-up Extra Deck at the same time. Isaac Pendulum Summons [[Mirror Imagine Catadioptricker 7]]" and special summoning ", with 0 ATK, from his hand in Attack Position. As he Pendulum Summon a single monster, Isaac also activates the Pendulum Effect of Mirror Imagine Primary 6 to Special Summon [[Mirror Imagine Ray 5" (0/2000) ]] from his Deck. As Reiji stares down Isaac explains 's unfathomable monsters, Isaac comments that his Deck is baffling, complex, and more than a little bizarre, so he and Eve used the G.O.D. card to track [[Adam Factor|Adam's remains]] out of love hopes that Reiji will be patient with him for their frienda while.
