Chapter 1012: Since You're Here

【Leo x Luna, LP 0】

Quintet Magician's judgment tore the sky apart. When the pillar of light entwined with five elements fell with a boom, Fake Leo subconsciously shielded his sister beneath him, yet was still blown away by the shockwave like a fallen leaf. The two collided with a transparent barrier wall at the edge of the field; Luna's back scraped a spiderweb-like crack on the transparent barrier, and sparks burst out when Leo's Duel Disk fell.

Copy Leo felt dizzy. He felt a dislocation-like pain in his left arm joint, and even this pain was no different from a real person's. As his vision blurred, he heard a weak cough from his sister ten meters away, which caused his originally heavy eyelashes to tremble suddenly. Through his blurred vision, he saw Luna lying on the ground, with electric sparks jumping on her body.

"Luna..."

Leo's fingernails dug into the cracks in the ground. His right leg was twisted unnaturally, but he continued to move based on muscle memory. He seemed to have no strength left to support himself to climb up, but he still tried his best to crawl toward Luna. Just like every time his sister was awakened by a nightmare in the past, he would always appear at the first moment. The wreckage of the Duel Disk made a mournful sound as he moved, and the red character "LP=0" on the display screen was reflected in his eyes.

"Leo..."

Luna's left eye part had already been destroyed at this time, revealing the mechanical structure hidden underneath. The facial mechanical skeleton seemed to have been dented by a heavy blow, and the broken part was constantly jumping with electric snakes.

Looking at Leo who was trying hard to crawl toward her, her memory flashed back to when she was six years old. Leo crossed the playground in the rain and carried her, who had a fever, back to the infirmary.

So she subconsciously also tried hard to reach out toward Leo.

"Leo..."

"Luna..."

The brother and sister tried their best to crawl toward each other; the scene was so tragic, like a sad elegy.

The culprit who caused this scene, Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

No, aren't you two robots? Even the mechanical skeleton is exposed, is it necessary to be so tragic...

Doesn't this make me look like a big villain again?

At this moment, the hands of the copy twins had already been tightly clasped together.

That copy Leo showed an apologetic look and said: "I-I'm sorry, Luna. It's my uselessness; I clearly said I would protect you, clearly so arrogant..."

Copy Luna shook her head understandingly and smiled: "The scarecrow has already tried his best; everything wrong is that evil Black Magician. It's okay."

Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

Oh, that's right, almost forgot, I am a Black Magician.

Fujiki You Xuan only watched for a few seconds, then turned and mounted his D-Wheel.

First it was the copy Ushio, then it was this pair of copy twins; it was clear they were intentionally interfering with him, seemingly trying to stop him from reaching where the other Yusei Fudo was.

Fujiki You Xuan had a premonition that these two were likely not the last wave.

And soon, the facts proved his premonition was correct.

After traveling less than a kilometer, the engine sound of Fujiki You Xuan's D-Wheel suddenly became dull, as if swallowed by some invisible thing. The sky completed the transformation from starry to pitch black in three heartbeats. That dark cloud was not naturally formed, but more like the stomach of some living creature surging, with asphalt-like viscous substances hanging from the edges.

The D-Wheel dashboard suddenly burst into warning red light, and the speed dropped sharply, feeling like struggling in syrup. Fujiki You Xuan caught a glimpse of the road in the rearview mirrors disappearing, as if pure darkness had created a cage without daylight.

Fujiki You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, it looks like a tough one has come this time." The next moment, a strange light struck from within that mass of darkness, blasting straight toward the location of Fujiki You Xuan's D-Wheel.

Naturally, a ball of white light separated, manifesting the figure of Silent Magician in front of Fujiki You Xuan. Silent staff turned lightly, and the staff head released a hexagram-shaped white light barrier. But the strange light hit the barrier, and the magic circle's patterns were instantly corroded into honeycomb-like holes. Successive explosions blasted Silent, causing her to stagger back, and the barrier in front of her shattered.

Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Silent actually suffered a loss in the spirit battle; this was really not common in the past.

Fujiki You Xuan knew that this spirit battle probably needed to be intensified. He decided decisively and drew another monster card. The moment he slammed it onto the Duel Disk, invisible energy erupted within this dark domain, as if trying to burst this sealed space.

"Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!"

What surged out from the gaps in the crimson dragon scales was not ordinary fire, but red lotus prison flames that seemed to come from the deepest part of hell. When the dragon flames pierced the darkness, glass-like cracks appeared in the space along the way.

"Hyper Blaze!"

The Lord of Searing Flames opened its mouth, locking onto the direction from which the strange light had just launched a sneak attack on them. The flames gathered in its throat, turning into piercing flames that erupted with a boom.

However, the torrent of flames bent strangely the moment it hit the target. The dark domain was torn apart, and the Hyper Blaze seemed to have hit a target, but the flames quickly washed over it, as if failing to shake that entity.

Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly.

A target that even the Sacred Beasts couldn't move...

It seems the opponent might be more troublesome than he thought.

The moment the darkness was torn apart, a huge mechanical body slowly emerged. It was composed entirely of cold metal, with glowing gears rotating at the joints, and every movement emitted a heavy mechanical roar. The most eerie thing was the huge human face on its chest, extremely strange, as if separated by a layer of purple glass vessel. The vessel was an inverted triangle, and that face seemed to be sealed within it, looking quite strange.

Fujiki You Xuan only then understood.

He recognized this thing, understood why Silent suffered a loss in its hands, and also understood why even the world-famous Sacred Beast's blow couldn't shake this spirit.

Its name is Timelord, Metaion, the Timelord.

Its concept originated from the Kabbalah Tree of Life and Jewish mythology, and the prototype is the eleven circles of the Kabbalah Tree of Life. As if to correspond to this, there are exactly eleven Timelord monsters in total.

Timelord is also the ultimate boss of 5D's, the lifelong crystallization of Zone, the last human in the future. In the ending of 5D's, Zone used Timelord to force Yusei into a desperate situation; if it weren't for Yusei starting to print cards without money, it would probably be difficult to be an opponent.

Hmm, and because of this, Timelord also has an intimate nickname called "Crab-Eating God," which is rumored to be Crab Brother's natural enemy.

Since Timelord appeared, its master was also about to be revealed.

Uria, Lord of Searing Flames and Metaion, the Timelord confronted each other in the air. Fujiki You Xuan looked up and said lightly toward the darkness.

"Let me guess... Zone from another world, right?"

"Since you're here, why hide behind Timelord, why not come out and chat?"
