Chapter 1019: Disappointed Future

The vortex of Double Tuning was ignited with flames, and countless burning stardust poured down from the light ring. The lava on the ground squirmed and gathered like a living thing, forming a counter-clockwise rotating vortex in the center of the boiling lava lake.

First, dark red dragon horns pierced out from the burning vortex, and the lava dripping from the horn tips condensed into red fire snakes in the air. Then the dragon claws explored, the surface covered in crack patterns, and liquid lava in a white-hot state flowed in every gap. When it fully appeared, the entire lava lake instantly evaporated into sulfur mist, revealing the foundation burned into vitreous quality below.

The dragon wings fully spread, and the spine lit up with supernova-like white-hot radiance, and the tail blade left a continuously burning flame trail wherever it swept. When it finally raised its head and let out a roar, it formed a red shockwave visible to the naked eye, and all the surrounding flames were attracted into a tornado-like crown of fire.

Red Nova Dragon, summon!

【Red Nova Dragon, ATK 3500】

The aura of the dragon that appeared this time was even more domineering than the Scarlight just now, and it looked even more ferocious. However, when this dragon landed, neither Copy Yusei, nor the two real and fake Zones watching the live broadcast, had any surprise like just now.

The reason was also very simple, because this was within expectations.

Although Red Nova Dragon is powerful, it is after all something that existed in the original timeline, and it is a power that Jack Atlas had already mastered in the history known to these two Zones.

In contrast, the previous Red Dragon Archfiend Scarlight, this new vest was strong, but it was not strong enough to impact Zone's cognition. Scarlight was special only because of "unknown," something that shouldn't have existed in the original timeline.

"Red Nova Dragon cannot be destroyed by any card effects!" Jack said proudly.

This is also why he said before that it didn't matter if Card Breaker didn't hit that "Wave Force." In the face of Red Dragon Archfiend's destruction resistance, this kind of trap is meaningless.

"And, Red Nova Dragon's ATK increases by 500 for every Tuner monster in my Graveyard!" Jack continued, "Now there are two Tuners in my Graveyard, 'Dark Resonator' and 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter'."

"Therefore, Red Nova Dragon's ATK increases by 1000!"

The phantoms of the two Tuner monsters flashed in mid-air, both turning into burning vortexes and pouring into Red Nova Dragon's body. I saw lava overflowing all over Red Nova, flames seemingly turning into energy and being absorbed into the body, and its energy increased again.

【Red Nova Dragon, ATK 3500 → ATK 4500】

In fact, the state of Red Nova Dragon at this time was slightly inferior to usual. Because normally, if you want to Synchro Summon Red Nova, you must first Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend, which requires one Tuner. Then double jump to summon Red Nova, which requires two Tuners.

Therefore, if summoned normally, there are at least three Tuners in the Graveyard when Red Nova Dragon appears, and the minimum ATK is 5000. This panel plus destruction resistance is still quite capable in the current version of the environment.

"Go, Red Nova Dragon!" Jack said, "Smash 'Junk Berserker'!"

"Burning Soul!!!"

Red Nova Dragon's dragon claws suddenly lit up with blinding lava patterns, and a rotating flame vortex condensed at the claw tips. The moment it waved its claws, the intertwined red claw marks tore through the air, each trajectory dragging viscous lava.

When Junk Berserker's armor touched the high temperature of the vortex core, it first melted like a wax figure, and then dozens of fire pillars erupted from within. All the machinery and parts embedded in the joints turned white-hot, and in the sound of explosions, they turned into iron-water rain. Finally, the entire mechanical body collapsed into glowing metal residue, rolled into spiral ash smoke columns by the continuously burning sulfur storm.

That black smoke and flames did not diminish, sweeping across Copy Yusei's D-Wheel.

【Copy Yusei, LP 2700 → LP 900】

Red Nova's full-force blow, life points fell directly to three digits. Copy Yusei's D-Wheel swayed repeatedly, as if it could tilt at any time.

But he still had no expression, just closed his eyes as if he couldn't feel the pain brought by real damage, just stabilized the D-Wheel and continued to move forward.

"How about it, did you feel my burning soul!?"

Jack shouted loudly.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but to dare to impersonate Yusei and tarnish the reputation of our Team 5D's, I will never forgive you!"

"The reputation of Team 5D's, huh." Copy Yusei let out a long breath, and after a while, he spoke slowly.

"You don't want to know why we came here and what our purpose is?"

Jack frowned, didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.

"We came here to stop the mistakes made by God." Copy Yusei said lightly, "And also to stop your failure."

"Our failure?"

Jack was puzzled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? And what is the situation with God?"

Jack at this stage knew too little about the future destruction and Zone's layout. He only knew the name of the organization Taiyi, and knew nothing about the true leader behind the organization.

But You Xuan knew some inside information.

He looked at Zone beside him, then at the fake Zone opposite, both of whom were silent.

"God once had a plan, a plan to break and then stand, to open up hope with destruction." Copy Yusei said, "He planned to destroy the entire New New New Tongshiye to open up a future for this city."

Jack, who learned this for the first time, was shocked: "What? Destroy New Domino... what kind of person? Who dares to do this!? And what kind of future can such a tragic massacre open up?"

"New Domino is just the carrier of disaster; the real demon is the human heart that polluted the Ener-D with darkness."

Copy Yusei said.

"Erase the existence of Ener-D along with the entire city that nurtured Ener-D from history; this is the last answer God found with the remaining time before his death."

"But at that time, he actually still had a trace of luck, a trace of hope in his heart."

Copy Yusei said.

"He hoped that when he destroyed this city, the most famous savior in the history of this city would stand up to oppose him."

"He hoped that when the savior stood in front of him, he could show power that exceeded his expectations, made him shine, and let him rest assured to hand over the future to the other party."

Jack became more and more confused: "What are you talking about?"

Copy Yusei stared at him for a while, before slowly spitting out this name of the Son of Destiny.

"Yusei Fudo."

"The name of the savior is Yusei Fudo. God hoped that Yusei Fudo could stop himself, hoped to see his potential, and let God know that the future does not have to be destroyed."

"But in the end, he was disappointed."

Copy Yusei shook his head, saying somewhat sadly.

"Because Yusei Fudo... failed."
