Chapter 489

That was a pure white world.

A person with a hairstyle that looked particularly like a crab sat on a wooden bench, looking at the scene in front of him that looked like a desert.

The end of the world—

Don't want, absolutely don't want such a world to come...

"Yusei, Kiryu!?"

The crab-head slowly opened his eyes; in the sky, a blond man looked at the person on the ground and shouted in surprise.

Jack Atlas was standing at the cabin door of a helicopter, looking down; in the plane, besides him, there were three people: a police pilot from the Security Bureau, his colleague Sherry LeBlanc, and the reporter Carly Nagisa who had followed to record because of the explosion incident here.

At this moment, Jack saw Yusei, whose figure he had been unable to find on the ground, and furthermore, he also saw a familiar person laughing crazily—Kiryu Kyosuke.

"Ah, hahahaha, what day is it today." Kiryu glanced at Jack in the sky, swept a glance at Crow who was parked on the ruins, and finally looked at Yusei, laughing wildly, "Everyone from the Satisfaction Team is here!"

His smile was too terrifying, instantly scaring Carly, who hurriedly asked Jack what happened; Jack frowned but didn't explain directly.

Tenjou Hikari drove to Crow's side, parked the car on the ruins with him, and then looked at the opposite side; there, Shinji wasn't acting with the rioting resistance army and was also waiting for the duel to start.

Yusei and Kiryu parked at the same time, and eerie purple flames started to burn from this position, forming a huge wall of fire.

Jack, standing in the helicopter, widened his eyes; he could see a blue giant appearing on the ground in the form of a geoglyph!

"Dark Mark..." His expression wasn't very good.

On the field, Yusei appeared very calm.

From beginning to end, he didn't take off his helmet, and from arriving to now, he hadn't gotten off the car; clearly, he had long been prepared for the duel.

Just before this duel that involved him in the "Sole God" war, he still had some things to say: "Hikari—"

Tenjou Hikari was a little surprised to hear his own name.

This is your old friends' gathering duel, why are you suddenly calling me again?

He thought it had nothing to do with him here, so he was preparing to take the time to calculate the alchemy formula.

"What's wrong, Yusei?"

"... After the duel, I hope you can do me a favor." Yusei looked at Tenjou Hikari while raising his left hand, hinting at Tenjou Hikari's Dark Mark, "It's about that Dark Mark of yours."

"Ha—that would be great." Tenjou Hikari nodded and agreed.

This saves a lot of trouble.

"Are you still thinking about what happens later? Yusei, but you don't need to think so much, because you will die here immediately! Hahahahaha!!" Kiryu laughed wildly, and then pressed the button on his D-Wheel.

Yusei also pressed the button together.

"Duel mode, activated!"

"3."

"2."

"... 1!"

"Riding Duel! Accelerate!"

Boom!!

The two D-Wheels started almost at the same time; the two D-Wheels on the huge geoglyph seemed completely identical, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Kiryu had a sneer on his face; he noticed that Yusei was actually keeping pace with him, without any sign of falling behind, which was a little unexpected, but he didn't care too much. After laughing wildly for a few times, he said casually: "Hahahaha, since you want to go first so much, then I'll let you!"

He slowed down, and the next second, at the moment of turning, Yusei got the first move.

Fudo Yusei, LP: 4000.

Kiryu Kyosuke, LP: 4000.

"My turn, draw."

Yusei drew a card from the deck and then put it directly into the Duel Disk: "Normal Spell Card, Tuning."

"Add 1 【Synchron】 Tuner from the deck to the hand. After that, send the top card of your deck to the graveyard."

"I add Junk Synchron to my hand."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the graveyard, and then his eyes widened slightly.

"If there are no monsters on my side of the field, this card can be special summoned from the hand. Come, Junk Forward!"

A warrior with armor made of discarded metal appeared from the summoning halo, running.

Junk Forward, Level 3, Earth-attribute, Warrior-type, ATK 900.

"Normal summon, Tuner monster, Junk Synchron."

A yellow-armored warrior who looked like a researcher wearing glasses opened his hands and appeared on the field.

Junk Synchron, Level 3, Dark-attribute, Warrior-type, ATK 1300.

"When Junk Synchron is summoned, you can revive 1 Level 2 or lower monster in the graveyard in defense position. The effect of the monster special summoned by this effect is negated."

"I special summon Speed Warrior from the graveyard."

Speed Warrior, Level 2, Wind-attribute, Warrior-type, ATK 300.

"Hmph..." Looking at Yusei's field, Kiryu was already sneering.

"Use Level 3 Junk Synchron and Level 3 Junk Forward, Speed Warrior to tune!"

Junk Synchron pulled the valve on his body, and then his body began to virtualize, finally turning into stars, floating beside the two monsters, turning into a green halo.

"Gathering wishes will become a new shining star, turn into a shining path of light!

Synchro Summon!

Fly, Stardust Dragon!"

Wind.

Strong wind blew on the ground.

A giant dragon shining with starlight flew out from the wind, then jumped into the air, scattering faint, beautiful stardust in the air.

Stardust Dragon, Level 8, Wind-attribute, Dragon-type, ATK 2500.

"Ha—is that the dragon of yours as a Signer?" Kiryu laughed loudly when he saw this monster, "Not bad, hahaha, really not bad, only then can I be satisfied! Hahaha—"

"Kiryu!" Yusei was beside Kiryu, not looking at the front of the car, but turning to look at Kiryu, one eye showing blue light under the helmet goggles, "We are still very grateful to you until now!"

Kiryu's smile disappeared, and he looked at Yusei with a gloomy face.

"Huh?"

With Yusei's opening, Jack also finally slowly told their story.

He, Yusei, and Crow were children who grew up together in the Lower City. On a certain day when the three of them were doing nothing, Kiryu suddenly appeared beside them and invited them to join his team.

At that time, the rulers of the Lower City were "Duel Gangs"; even in a place like the Lower City, there were people who wanted to oppress their compatriots to get a better life. Kiryu invited them to join his team and then paint all the areas of the entire "Lower City" black together.

And just like the final result, under Kiryu's leadership, their Satisfaction Team defeated all the duel gangs and became the strongest duel gang in the Lower City, also making the once-popular "gangs" in the Lower City disappear completely.

But...

Kiryu didn't do this to save others.

The reason he did this was only one, and that was that he craved "satisfaction."

The satisfaction of dueling!

Then, one day, he even set his target on the security police...

That day, it rained heavily.

Yusei saw a corpse of a security police officer at Kiryu's feet.

"At that time, I originally wanted to go to prison for you, but that police officer saw it at a glance—that's why he patted my shoulder..."

Kiryu listened to Yusei tell this story, and the hatred on his face didn't dissipate at all: "Are you lying to me now? You traitor!!"

Yusei felt heartbroken, gritted his teeth, and covered a card on the field: "... Kiryu, I didn't lie to you, you are the person the three of us respect the most!"

This sentence was said very sincerely, so much so that the madness on Kiryu's face finally dissipated a little bit.

However, resentment, anger, and pain still existed in his heart, so he just fell silent.

"Cover this card, end turn..."

"Yusei, do you know, when I was chosen by the Earthbound Immortal and resurrected as a Dark Signer, what exactly was it that made me feel truly painful?"

"What?"

"It's this world, it's still so stubborn, so boring, so suffocating! You three losers, what exactly have you done since I died, wasting time!?" Kiryu roared angrily, his voice seeming to sound hoarse because of it.

"Draw!"

He drew a card, glanced at it, and put it in the Spell/Trap zone.

"Cover one... two, three cards."

"What?"

Covering cards directly, could it be that he had a hand accident?

"Activate Normal Spell Card, Allure of Darkness, draw two cards, then banish 1 Dark-attribute monster from your hand. If you don't have a Dark-attribute monster in your hand, send your entire hand to the graveyard."

"Oh, so it's to prevent discarding the hand." Shinji looked at the duel broadcast on the D-Wheel and realized.

Kiryu drew two cards and glanced at them: "Banish Infernity Guardian from my hand."

"Discard Infernity Beast from my hand, activate Equip Spell Card, Dimension Explosion. Special summon the banished Infernity Guardian!"

A skull appeared beside him, and immediately after, red Infernity fire burned beside Kiryu.

Infernity Guardian, Level 4, Dark-attribute, Fiend-type, ATK 1200.

"Infernity? What kind of monster is that?" Crow frowned.

"Infernity... not Kiryu's previous deck." Jack also realized Kiryu's change.

Infernity, huh...

Tenjou Hikari's impression of this deck was too deep; not only the legendary deck with a huge name like Infernity Trishula, but also the story of the Infernity deck that covered monsters in the back row being swept by Feather Duster and directly surrendering, had always left a deep impression in Tenjou Hikari's heart.

"Heh, normal summon, Tuner monster, Infernity Sage."

A demon fanning a fan and burning with fire appeared beside Kiryu.

Infernity Sage, Level 2, Dark-attribute, Fiend-type, ATK 400.

"Tuner... are you going to Synchro?"

"Use Level 2 Infernity Sage and Level 4 Infernity Guardian to tune!"

Infernity Sage flew into the air and then slowly decomposed, turning into two huge black stars; the two stars condensed on the Infernity Guardian, burning it into black flames.

"The dead and the living intersect in nothingness, turn into evil ghosts in hell!

Synchro Summon!"

"Level 6, Infernity Doom Archfiend!"

A demon with huge golden bracelets on both hands and wings like pointers on his back spun his body and descended onto the field.

Infernity Doom Archfiend, Level 6, Dark-attribute, Fiend-type, ATK 2200.

"ATK is only 2200?"

"Fortunately, with this ATK, it's not Stardust Dragon's opponent."

Jack and Crow breathed a sigh of relief.

"Infernity Sage's effect, activate when this card is sent to the graveyard. Send 1 Infernity monster from the deck to the graveyard. This effect can only be activated when there are no cards in the hand. I send Infernity Dwarf to the graveyard."

"Hahaha, because the ATK is low, you let your guard down? Naive, too naive, Crow, Jack!" Kiryu laughed wildly, "Infernity Doom Archfiend's effect, once per turn, target 1 face-up card you control and activate. That card's effect is negated until the end of the turn."

He raised his right hand and pointed at Stardust Dragon.

Negated, huh?

"If you have 0 cards in your hand, you can also destroy that card."

"Eh?" Jack and Crow exclaimed at the same time.

"Huh? It doesn't matter, right? Yusei's Stardust Dragon can release itself to negate and destroy the card effect, right?" Carly Nagisa counted on her fingers and asked suspiciously, "Since that's the case, then it doesn't matter, right?"

"No, Stardust Dragon has no way to deal with this effect," Jack frowned slightly, "Stardust Dragon's effect is to activate when a Spell, Trap, or monster effect that destroys cards on the field is activated. Release Stardust Dragon itself to negate and destroy that effect.

But—Infernity Doom Archfiend's effect is 【Negate the opponent's monster effect】. If you have 0 cards in your hand, then destroy the monster.

In other words, Stardust Dragon cannot counter this effect!"

"Eh eh eh??? Isn't that completely targeting Stardust Dragon's effect!?" Carly shouted in disbelief.

"Yeah..." Jack frowned and looked at the field worriedly.

Infernity Doom Archfiend burned with crimson flames, then flew towards Stardust Dragon; the flames burned Stardust Dragon in the air, causing it to lose its power, and the second group of flames followed closely, wrapping Stardust Dragon and blowing it into pieces with a "boom."

"Hahahahaha, ahahahaha!!!" Kiryu laughed crazily.

"Yusei, how can your dragon be so vulnerable? If so, how can you make me feel satisfied!!" He laughed wildly, "Battle, Yusei, use Infernity Doom Archfiend to attack directly!"

Flames rose on the ground, and hellfire like magma flowed crazily; the ground was blown into countless pits. Seeing that he was about to be hit directly, Yusei flipped over a cover card quickly: "Open cover card!

Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!"

A scarecrow made of scrap iron, wire, and a mask appeared directly in front of Yusei.

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, target that monster and activate. Negate that attack. After activation, this card is not sent to the graveyard, but covered again."

The scarecrow blocked the attack and then slowly covered itself back.

"Heh, as an opening, it's not bad." Kiryu didn't mind at all and ended his turn like this.

"End turn."
