Chapter 1091

Kaito's Life Points returned to zero, and the duel ended.

Almost the moment the Life Points on his Duel Disk slid to the number 0, the entire space seemed to explode like a piece of shattered glass.

The frozen world suddenly made a crisp sound like glass shattering. The raindrops suspended in mid-air trembled at the same time, like a pearl necklace pulled by invisible threads. The first to fall was the water drop stuck to the tip of the oak leaf; it smashed onto the mushroom cap below and splashed into eight crystal-bright water splashes.

The entire forest came alive in an instant. The suspended rain curtain turned into slanted silver threads, the previously stationary birds flapped their wet wings violently, and a squirrel fell from the tree trunk into a puddle with a panicked expression. Those rain curtains that were originally frozen in the air now fell crazily like fast-forward playback, chiseling thousands of fleeting small pits on the mud, steaming up white water mist mixed with the smell of grass and rotten leaves.

The sound that had been suppressed by the time stop for a long time erupted. The patter of rain on broad leaves, the creaking of branches under weight, and the sound of muffled thunder surged one after another. A maple leaf rotated and fell in the rain, with a crescent-shaped notch on the leaf surface that had been gnawed by a snail before the time stop.

"So that's it, time stop is also a technology related to dueling," Fujiki You Xuan looked around at the time that had started flowing again, and suddenly realized in his heart.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to the Shadow Duel of this dimension. Just like many Shadow Duels will open a barrier field, no one is allowed to enter or leave until the duel ends, and the only way to lift the field and let the duelists come out is to complete the duel and determine the winner.

This time-stop field is also a similar principle. Time stop is also similar to the time-stop field of a Shadow Duel; once the duel is completed, it will be forcibly lifted.

Of course, it doesn't have to be that the cards must be finished; the initiator can also lift it at any time. Like the first battle between Kaito and Yuma in the TV show, it wasn't finished. At that time, Kaito was about to win, but after hearing Orbital 7 report that his younger brother Haruto had a situation, his brother-complex attribute exploded, and he immediately had no intention of playing cards and turned to leave, and the time-stop field was also immediately lifted.

The people around just came back to their senses. Even Kong Quewu was first looking around blankly—in her perspective, Fujiki You Xuan and Jonouchi had both disappeared into thin air on the spot in one second.

Only after looking back did she see that both of them had moved, and there was a golden-haired boy on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed, looking embarrassed.

Kaito endured the full blow of his Neo Galaxy-Eyes, and his whole body was slammed away, rolling several times on the slippery mud before stopping. Cold rainwater slid down his cheeks, and the fishy smell mixed with mud seeped into the corners of his mouth. He struggled to prop up his upper body.

His trench coat was originally black, but Kaito needs to activate 'Photon Mode' when dueling, and the coat will change to white. At this moment, the clean trench coat was covered with brown mud, and the hem was still dripping with muddy water.

"Bastard..."

Kaito gritted his teeth, his fist slammed heavily into the muddy ground, and the splashed mud spots stained his cheeks. Rainwater hit his clenched fist and flowed into the small puddle he had smashed. He raised his head, the rain blurred his vision, but he could still see the opponent's figure looking down from above.

That demon from the Fusion Dimension, his soaked bangs stuck to his forehead, and the water droplets dripping from his hair tips were like silent mockery.

For a duelist, the most infuriating thing in life is having their Tamashii stolen. If there is anything more infuriating than this, it is having their Tamashii and the crystallization of their bond with their brother stolen together.

If there is anything more infuriating than this, it is probably that you still can't beat that bastard.

Kaito struggled to get up, seemingly wanting to say something. But at this moment, a vortex suddenly cracked open silently behind Kaito, and seven-colored light flowed strangely in the darkness.

His body trembled violently, and he looked down to see his fingertips starting to turn into fine light spots and drift away. Those light spots were as light as fireflies, but were uncontrollably attracted by the vortex. He didn't have time to say a word before his whole body disintegrated like a sand painting. First his arms turned into golden starlight, then his legs scattered into silver radiance, and finally even his angry expression shattered into countless light particles. All the fragments swirled and were pulled into the depths of the vortex. After the seven-colored vortex swallowed the last light particle, it shrank instantly as if erased by an eraser, leaving only a few withered leaves slowly falling at the position just now.

Jonouchi was startled and hurriedly ran to where Kaito had just been, staring wide-eyed and looking around, then turned to look at Fujiki You Xuan.

"You... him?"

Jonouchi vaguely felt that he had seen a similar situation. People who were defeated in Shadow Duels, some would have their souls extracted and become empty shells, and some would simply evaporate and disappear, swallowed by darkness—just like this boy just now. And as far as he knew, Fujiki You Xuan seemed to be the one who possessed such power.

But Fujiki You Xuan shook his head: "I have no grudges with him, why would I kill him? Besides, even if I had this intention, at least I would have to ask about his origin first, right?"

Seeing that Jonouchi still had a somewhat skeptical expression, Fujiki You Xuan sighed, pointed to the place where Kaito disappeared, and said: "Look, he's gone entirely, nothing left.

If I really killed him, tell me, would I allow him to die with that deck that is unique to the different dimension?"

Jonouchi then showed a sudden realization expression and nodded: "Indeed, you wouldn't do that."

Fujiki You Xuan had a dark face. MD, you only believe me after I have to remind you that the deck wasn't taken? Am I really that unlike a good person?

Jonouchi asked: "Then he..."

"Returned to his own dimension, probably," Fujiki You Xuan said casually.

It seems that the opponent came to this dimension prepared.

Kaito's way of leaving the stage is quite common in the ZEXAL generation of works. The three sons of the early BOSS-level villain, Dr. Faker, all left the stage like this after losing the duel. Later, the Barian Seven Emperors also often used similar exit effects. Even if it's a life-betting card, after hanging up, the body can be teleported back to its own dimension or headquarters, and then become a vegetable after returning to the spring.

Fujiki You Xuan speculated that Kaito might have used similar technology here, setting a return program on his body before coming, just like a diver with a safety rope tied to their body. Once he encounters danger, the program will automatically start and drag him back to his own time and space.

But of course, if Fujiki You Xuan had used a Shadow Duel to kill him just now, then even if he was dragged back, Kaito would have become a corpse. The power of a Shadow Duel cannot be avoided even if you escape the dimension.

However, Fujiki You Xuan naturally didn't kill him. Just as he told Jonouchi just now, even if he wanted to kill the opponent, he had to ask clearly first. And it's inexplicable to be hostile to the Z4 dimension Faker's camp, and there are still many questions in it.

"You guys go to the academy first, Judai is already waiting there," Fujiki You Xuan said. "I have also arranged for people to prepare a banquet."

"You're not coming?" Jonouchi asked.

"Well, forget it today. I have notified the professional team, they will come here to investigate soon, I want to stay here and see."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the place where Kaito disappeared, showing an expression of interest.

"Although he used this space-time technology to run away, this might actually give us a chance. Next..."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and licked his lips.

"We might be able to use this to find the dimension they are in."
