Chapter 491

Because both sides left their D-Wheels, the duel was judged as invalid, and the duel was terminated.

The high wall of fire disappeared slowly, and those souls swallowed by the Earthbound Immortal also flew back to their respective bodies according to their original trajectories.

Kiryu stood up with difficulty, straightened his D-Wheel, and looked at Yusei.

Compared to himself, Yusei, who was already full of holes and whose body seemed to be not very flexible due to the modification, was blown to the ground; if he really wanted revenge, as the "less injured" side, he could have taken action.

But—

At this very moment, looking at Yusei lying on the ground, what flashed in his heart wasn't hatred, but a kind of indescribable... emptiness that couldn't be told to others.

He, who craved "satisfaction" the most, now felt that he was the emptiest person in the world.

He was silent for a long time, and finally left a sentence: "Ha, it seems that without me doing anything, you're about to die soon too—without the positive and negative forces of Synchro, the artificial god is ultimately fake.

Just cherish the last of your life, Yusei!"

After speaking, he got on his D-Wheel directly and left from the other side without looking back, accompanied by his standard wild laughter.

Seeing this, Shinji hesitated for a moment, but immediately started his D-Wheel and chased after Kiryu before the Security Bureau found them.

Hum—

Tenjou Hikari and Crow also arrived at Yusei's side at this time. Crow stopped the car and immediately used his arm to help him up, while Tenjou Hikari carefully examined his state.

"That ghost was right," Tiera looked at Yusei for a few times beside Tenjou Hikari, "This human... this united god, should indeed not live long.

About two years, it'll be gone in a blink of an eye."

Two years... not to mention for an existence like Tiera who possessed a long life, even for humans, two years was already relatively short.

"Yusei!" Jack jumped down from the sky when the helicopter approached the ground, scaring the two girls inside into screaming.

Jack did a somersault on the ground, then hurriedly helped Yusei with Crow: "You guy, you've been hiding from us all this time, and you actually went to do this kind of thing alone!?"

"Eh, don't hold him like that, be careful not to make his injuries worse," Tenjou Hikari shouted at the two.

The two were startled and hurriedly followed Tenjou Hikari's instructions, helped up the D-Wheel, and laid Yusei flat on the car.

Tenjou Hikari acted as a doctor temporarily, took out tools and instruments to test for a while, and asked: "Yusei, Kiryu's words before weren't just empty talk, you should know it yourself."

Yusei struggled to open his eyes, and a string of electric currents flashed across his right face, scaring Jack and Crow into a flurry of gestures.

"It's okay, I've been prepared for a long time."

"Damn it, Yusei! You still have to decide the winner with me, don't even think about falling down so quickly!"

"Yusei, you've been afraid to show up all this time, is it also because of the modification? Why didn't you tell us, could it be that you don't trust us?"

Jack and Crow were complaining in their own ways, but the concern and worry for Yusei in their words could be felt by Yusei.

He hung a smile and looked at his friends calmly.

A moment later, he opened his mouth: "It's just because I look scary now, so I don't come out much."

Subsequently, Yusei didn't hide it anymore and told about his experiences during this time.

One day—in that duel with Jack, because of the resonance between Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend, red light was triggered, and then at the end of the duel, he accidentally arrived in the future—

The distant future, he didn't know how many years later.

Almost instantly, he was discovered by the humans at that time, but at the same time, he also learned...

Humanity had been destroyed.

It was because of human malice that the perpetual motion machine went out of control, and finally, the earth's will named "Meklord" appeared, completely destroying human civilization.

He learned about the war of the 【Sole God】 and heard the thoughts of that person.

The reason why this world has been experiencing "painful cycles" is that countless years ago, the cooperation and harmony between gods gave birth to the strange power named "Synchro," which triggered the war between gods, and then spread slowly from top to bottom, causing the angels, demons, spirits, and humans of this world to slowly be affected and start competing for and using the power of Synchro.

And in the distant future, because of the evil in human hearts, the "perpetual motion machine" based on 【Synchro】 finally reversed, and the "Synchro nemesis" Meklord, born to eliminate humanity, appeared in this world and wiped out humanity indiscriminately.

Humanity eventually died because of its own sins.

Thus, the humans Yusei met gave him a suggestion: "Since that's the case, just go back to the very beginning and stop the birth of Synchro, stop the spread of Synchro. Completely let this power disappear from all dimensions."

This seemed to be a once-and-for-all method.

However, Yusei refused.

He proposed other possibilities; he hoped to open up a brand-new future, open up a future where gods, spirits, and humans could understand each other, work together, and completely 【Resonate】.

Because, from the beginning, the birth of Synchro was exactly the power born from countless gods working together to create a beautiful world, full of cooperation and future!

Power has never been wrong.

"Ha... also inspired by you, Hikari." He lay on the car, recalling that duel in the Friendship Cup.

Although for people in the F-Dimension, it was just a small episode.

But for Yusei, that was one of the most important nodes that changed his life now.

In that competition, he gained the opportunity to participate in the "Fortune Cup," gained the opportunity to duel Jack again and understand Jack's thoughts; in that duel, he met friends from the F-Dimension and knew what human society in other dimensions looked like; in that competition, he met Tenjou Hikari, a technical scholar from another dimension, and knew the technology of other dimensions.

Just as Tenjou Hikari could draw inferences from Yusei's D-Wheel making and understand higher alchemy, Yusei also figured out many physics problems he couldn't figure out before.

And the most important thing was Tenjou Hikari's trust and persistence in the "Fusion" of his world.

Even seeing more advanced and convenient Synchro, he had no fear at all; he had the courage to speak up for Yugo without demeaning Yugo even though Yugo's identity caused police intervention; and even after defeating Yugo, he didn't look down on Synchro's mentality.

Yusei believed that the bonds with his friends and partners were by no means illusory, so he also believed that there must be a way to open up a brand-new future.

Therefore, he chose a more difficult choice that couldn't determine the possibility: merge with the artificial life created by that person and end this cycle of suffering and doubt as a 【United God】.

He wanted to stop this meaningless internal friction!

As a human!

【Even for me, this is a possibility that has never been tested at all, Yusei, this is a path destined to be unable to predict the results, and also destined to be the most difficult.】

【This is the most difficult and dangerous path among countless choices.】

【Choosing this path, all life will doubt you. Those god-chosen ones who crave the power of Synchro, those lunatics who are arrogant and want to rule the world, those fools who think they are creating a "peaceful" world, those doubters who don't understand you and don't believe there is someone as selfless as you, will all see you as a great enemy. And you, you want to make them believe you, make them put down their disputes with each other?】

【This is almost impossible, because human history is the history of war.】

【Because the human heart is full of desire and malice, our world will really be destroyed.】

【Do you really want to try?】

Of course.

He didn't tell the final conversation between him and that person, and briefly explained his thoughts.

Jack and Crow turned their heads and wiped their tears with their arms, but didn't speak to reprimand Yusei.

"Ha, I understand, it doesn't matter, just like back in the Lower City, we just need to 【Paint this world black】!" Jack said, clenching his fist, as if flames were burning on his body.

"Yeah—this is no big deal. First of all, we have to pull our captain back, can't let that guy run around blindly!" Crow said firmly, responding to Yusei.

Sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and fell on everyone, and Yusei finally showed a smile that hadn't been seen for a long time.

At this time, he had almost recovered, put on his helmet again, and didn't look so eerie.

"Then, what did you ask me for?" Tenjou Hikari asked.

"Hikari, you are the most important person. This matter, except for you, no one can do it... I hope to ask you... to help me find an opportunity." Yusei opened his mouth and said, "I hope to ask you... to help me find an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Although Tenjou Hikari asked this, he had actually already guessed it.

In this world, even Yusei didn't have confidence, and needed Tenjou Hikari's help.

Only that one answer—

"An opportunity to communicate with the 【Fusion】 Earthbound Immortal that is excluded in this world..."

Fusion!
