Resource (リソース Risōsu) is a mysterious energy required by the Z/X.
In the Z/X -Zillions of enemy X- TCG, Resource is the zone to put the cards used by the player to pay the Cost to play cards or abilities. Cards can be put into Resource either during the Resource Phase or by card's effect.
Z/X Encyclopedia Entry[]
A mysterious power emitted from the Black Point (BP).
Because flesh-and-blood humans cannot approach the BP, its connection to the Z/X remains an understudied field of research. Resource is considered to be the source of Z/X ability to function, and they cannot maintain their presence in our world if they lose this energy.
Powerful Z/X need to consume vast amounts of Resource, and due to this, they cannot go far beyond the periphery of the BP. Conversely, Z/X that appear far from the BP are relatively frail. All Z/X can sense where Resource pours from and how much there is in order to properly consume it, with varying degrees of awareness. As a result, it is possible to measure how strong a Z/X is based on how far away it is.
