Description[edit]

One of the four Emperors of Iliaster - the remaining survivors of the apocalypse - Paradox travels through time to try to save the future by eliminating the creator of Duel Monsters - Pegasus.

He stole the most powerful monsters from various eras and transformed them into Malefic monsters to create the most powerful deck in history.
