Chapter 1232: Barian World

"Ve... Vector..."

Stepped on by Vector, Durbe struggled to lift his head, but as soon as he had the intention, he felt the pressure on the other's foot increase instantly, as if a force of a thousand tons was pressing him back to the ground.

"Hmm? Did you say something just now?"

Vector tilted his head lazily, making a gesture of picking his ear, with a very punchable posture.

"Ugh..."

At this time, Durbe was already severely injured all over, and being stepped on made it almost difficult for him to even breathe, let alone speak clearly.

He had failed.

When Yuma and the others were fighting Girag and those Barian thugs, Durbe had left.

Because just as he had said before, his mindset had wavered, but that did not mean his stance had shifted immediately.

Whether it was a conspiracy or the calculations of Don Thousand, Durbe's current identity was one of the Barian Seven Emperors; this fact had not changed. He still had to consider the Barian World and the innocent Barian people.

He didn't particularly care about the destruction of the human world. If he had to say, his current stance, which was consistent with Yuma and the others, was only the single matter of defeating Don Thousand.

That was why he had rushed back, returned to the Barian World, to find Vector directly.

He suspected that Don Thousand's seal might have been broken, and among the remaining Seven Emperors, only Vector would do such a thing. So he found Vector to confront him directly, an argument ensued, and the argument evolved into playing cards...

And then it turned into this.

Since when did Vector become this strong?

Durbe also felt horrified in his heart.

In his impression, Vector's strength should have been inferior to his own. But the strength Vector displayed today far exceeded his expectations; now that he thought back on the whole process, he seemed to have had no chance at all.

But this also made his guess even more certain.

This was definitely the power of Don Thousand.

Only in this way could it explain why Vector's strength had suddenly progressed by leaps and bounds, surpassing him so easily.

But if that was the case...

Durbe ignored the excruciating pain all over his body that felt like it was about to disintegrate, as if summoning the last bit of strength he had left, he struggled to open his mouth: "Vector, listen to me. We... we have all been deceived! Our past lives were originally... human!

It was Don Thousand who twisted our lives, that's why we... Ugh!"

Before he could finish, he felt Vector kick his waist and abdomen. His internal organs seemed to have shifted; he felt his body lose weight as he flew out, followed by a heavy crash to the ground.

"How unsightly. Even though you are one of the Barian Seven Emperors, your stance was twisted so easily." Vector shook his head repeatedly, "That's why I said you losers can't be relied upon..."

"You don't understand, Vector..."

Durbe tried his best to get up, but failed, and could only fall back to the ground.

"I wasn't deceived by humans or changed my mind; this is all true..."

"Ah, ah, so noisy, so noisy... That's right."

Vector narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to look at him.

"For a guy who is so useless, keeping you around is of no use to the Barian World anyway. How about this, I'll absorb you; how about you continue to play a role for the Barian World inside my body?"

Durbe's pupils contracted: "Vector, you..."

"Ha, the more I think about it, the better the idea."

Vector showed a sunny smile, slowly reaching out towards Durbe, his five fingers spread wide.

"Then it's happily decided. Goodbye, useless Seven Emperor..."

He had just won the duel against Durbe, so of course he was fully capable of doing it. Killing Durbe and absorbing the power of the Seven Emperors would make him even more powerful and perfect.

But just as his power was about to activate, preparing to absorb Durbe...

Vector's expression changed abruptly, and his right palm struck out through the air. Where his palm reached, invisible air waves surged, manifesting an dark red barrier in the void.

The next moment, white light slammed into the barrier, exploding in a series of transparent ripples.

The smoke screen gradually dissipated. Vector held up his arm, maintaining the barrier, and frowned as he looked toward the direction from which the attack had been launched.

Only to see a pure white figure floating silently in mid-air, long hair fluttering, snow-white robes, holding a magic staff, with transparent magic circle rings nested and swirling around him one after another.

"Monster? Spirit?" Vector whispered.

Fujiki You Xuan's voice came slowly from the air: "Eh, to think you could block a spirit's attack with your bare hands? Impressive, worthy of being a Barian."

He seemed to understand a little why there weren't many cases of spirits materializing and hacking at each other in this part of ZEXAL; because there was no need.

Barians themselves were at a level where their physical bodies could wrestle with high-level monster spirits, using energy fluctuations to launch attacks, release barriers, crush rockets with bare hands, etc. These were all things they could do easily, and there was no need to have spirits do the work for them.

Silent Magician landed beside Fujiki You Xuan, her expression carrying a hint of apology. But Fujiki You Xuan just smiled and said indifferently: "It's fine, it was just a random test anyway."

Vector was, after all, one of the notable bosses in ZEXAL; a sneak attack was just a token attempt, and it was unrealistic to expect to skip the card-playing phase and solve it directly.

Durbe, who had picked up his life, struggled to lift his head to look: "You are... you?"

He was also secretly shocked in his heart. Although this guy was ridiculously strong, wasn't he a human? Why would he appear here?

Vector narrowed his eyes and asked the same question: "It's you. Why would you appear here?"

"Why... I just flew over normally." Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head and said as a matter of course, "This place doesn't look like it has any decent security either."

It wasn't that he was bragging, but he had thought he might have to go to some trouble on the way before coming here. But only after arriving did he find that it wasn't needed at all, because the security of the Barian World was comparable to the Kaiba Corporation in the anime where everyone could just walk in and out; if one was a public restroom, the other was probably a public bus.

"Ho, interesting. Even though you're just a human, your attitude is quite arrogant." Vector sneered, "It must have been hard to come all the way from another world; sorry there's no tea to treat you.

So, what do you want to do here?"

"Nothing, just here to solve you." Fujiki You Xuan thought for a moment, "But before that, I do have questions I want to ask. For example, my dimension is the 'Basic Dimension', that would be you, Vector?"

"Oh? You already know?" Vector did not deny it, "So what if it is?"

"So even if you say my world is the center of many dimensions, even if you say it's the Basic Dimension, after you occupy it, what do you plan to do next?"

Fujiki You Xuan asked calmly.

"After occupying your dimension? Let's see, let me think..."

Vector shook his head, making a gesture of rubbing his temples, as if he were really thinking seriously.

Then he showed a sunny smile again.

"Since you want to know so much, why don't you just let me try occupying your dimension? Hehehe..." ===== CHAPTER 1233 =====
