Chapter 508

"Crow!!!"

Yusei, who was rushing over, saw a black shadow fall from the sky, followed by a loud thud. When he looked back, he could only see Crow's body lying on the ground.

"Crow!?" Tiancheng Guang also exclaimed.

His reaction was a bit faster than Yusei's, so he immediately called out to Tiera, asking her to help save him if anything went wrong.

Tiera was not interested in other humans, but since Tiancheng Guang asked her for help, she naturally would not refuse.

However—

Did she miss?

Impossible!

No matter what, Tiera was already in a semi-awakened state now; even an ordinary Earthbound Immortal could not stop her!

"I clearly went to grab him just now—" Tiera looked at her hands in shock, "Something stopped me!"

She actually failed to catch him!?

Even the Earthbound Immortals couldn't keep up with her strength now! Why didn't she catch him just now!?

"Crow..." Shinji saw Crow fall below, gritting his teeth, but he didn't say a word.

Things had reached this point; he could no longer turn back!

"Crow—" On the other side, Ushio and his group of police officers were dumbfounded.

Especially those officers who had always considered the lower city to be full of trash, pickpockets, and robbers; seeing Crow sacrifice himself to save two children of the upper-class nobility, they all felt their previous thoughts were too foolish. A few even instinctively slapped themselves, saying they were hardly human.

Serena jumped off the vehicle. She tried her best to protect the two children with her body, relying on her physical fitness, which far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and her well-honed, experimental techniques for dispersing impact; she herself was fine.

However, compared to her, the two children were in much worse shape, having fainted from the intense impact. Fortunately, they had only fainted, and their breathing was still steady.

Serena came to her senses and hurriedly stood up. Just as she was about to check on Crow, she discovered that a group of police officers had already stopped their cars and were looking down in grief.

How could this be—

Although she had only known him for a short while, Crow was, after all, her master's friend, and he was someone who had saved her and the other two children. In her heart, he had already been classified as a "good person."

How did it end up like this?!

Ushio was the first to recover. He patted his face, turned back, and said to Serena, "Little girl, put the two children in my passenger seat first."

He pointed to the passenger seat of the large police car, and Serena hurriedly complied.

Although he knew Serena was a "criminal" that the upper levels wanted to capture, at this moment, Ushio didn't even want to pretend anymore.

That scene just now had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

Recently, he felt his life had been impacted, as if he were in a wilderness, looking up and around, with no place left to accommodate anyone.

The nobility and the upper class were arrogant bastards who crazily oppressed others for their own interests.

In the lower class, although there were truly good people like Crow, those rebels were just venting, without ever thinking about creating a beautiful world.

Whether it was the upper or lower class, he could no longer believe in them.

All he could believe in seemed to be himself, and—in his mind flashed the person who was detached from their world and had nothing to do with it.

Tiancheng Guang.

He shook his head.

During that pursuit just now, their police cameras should have captured everything completely. I'm afraid it will spread to every corner of this world before long. At that time, at least for Crow, it would be a comfort—

Just as he thought this, suddenly, he felt a huge shadow fall over his head.

A pure black shadow loomed over them.

He blinked and looked up, only to see that on this road between the upper and lower city channels, a huge pattern had appeared out of thin air!

What's going on?

At the Security Bureau headquarters, Godwin, who was under "house arrest," calmly stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window. In the distance, within his line of sight, a huge ground painting, as if it could isolate the upper city from the lower city, emerged.

If someone were to carefully compare it at this time, they might see that this huge ground painting was exactly the same as the pattern on his clothes...

"Have you chosen? As expected, is it him..." he whispered softly.

The next moment!

Crow, who had lost his life, consciousness, and luster, suddenly opened his eyes. A black whirlwind began to rise slowly with him as the center.

To everyone's shock, the whirlwind spun crazily and grew larger, gradually becoming like a pillar connecting the sky and the earth, a hurricane!

"What's going on?" Ushio covered his face with his hand, dodging the sand and dust brought by the strong wind.

"Earthbound Immortal!?" Yusei saw this scene, and after matching it with some information in his memory, he immediately made a judgment.

"Huh?" Tiancheng Guang was a bit confused, but he finally understood why Tiera hadn't saved anyone just now—

Shinji looked at the huge storm spinning from the ground, as if isolating the entire world, and gritted his teeth while running.

He knew something was about to happen.

The next second, before he could recover, a person appeared beside him like a ghost, saying, "What's wrong, what are you looking at!?"

He was startled and turned to look at his side, only to find that it was Crow!

At this moment, he had changed into a Dark Signer uniform similar to Master Kiryu's, but in a different color. Except for the color, it was almost identical to Master Kiryu's.

Not only that, his eyes had also become like his own...

No, different from his own.

He used the power derived from the Earthbound Immortal, while the other party was the power of the Earthbound Immortal itself!

He saw Crow's back, where a mark was glowing!

A Dark Mark!

And it was an extremely huge Dark Mark!

Unlike others who had it on their arms, it appeared directly on his back!

Because that mark was too huge!

"Crow, you were actually chosen as a Dark Signer!" Shinji shouted in surprise.

Crow originally wanted to be polite to Shinji, but upon hearing his reply, his expression was calm and cold: "Yes, I have returned from hell."

"You have this qualification, why don't you use this power to resist the upper class? We should be on the same side!?"

"Why are you still saying such things," Crow responded coldly.

"Aren't you the same? To take those two children away, you even deliberately gave up the duel, using any means necessary. Can you still be called a duelist!?"

"Yes... using any means necessary for my own choice... that's why I 【died】.

And now, I am going to have a final showdown with you! For all the children who might be hurt by you again in the future!"

Crow closed his eyes, and a series of shadows flashed through his mind.

At the moment he died, he seemed to see a huge divine bird looking down at him, also asking him why he did this.

To save people, to save children who were theoretically his enemies, yet he offered his own life?

He didn't know.

He just wanted to do what he thought was right!

Now—

He already possessed the power!

He could finally do what he wanted to do!

He would never let anyone sacrifice themselves again, nor would he let anyone be hurt again!

Or—

He would let everyone else live in a safe world, a world without strife, a world that only needed to grow under the protection of his wings!

This was his choice as the 【Only God】 competitor among the Dark Signers!

"Tsk... then, in order to liberate our lower city, I will completely eradicate you, the obstacle!"

The two rode side by side. This time, both went all out, without any mercy or schemes.

Screech, screech, screech—

The D-Wheel tires even made a tearing sound due to the collision and squeezing. Finally, after a turn, this time, the one who truly passed the turn first was...

Shinji!

"Duel!"

The two shouted.

Shinji, LP: 4000.

Crow, LP: 4000.
