Chapter 1404: Akaba Leo

"Resistance Army, sounds very powerful."

While following those guides, Yuma said excitedly.

"There should be many powerful duelists!"

The resistance leader Brook who was leading the way seemed to hear it, his gaze cast over intentionally or unintentionally, and then seemed to become a bit dim, turned his head and didn't speak.

"No, in fact..."

Ray said to the group gloomily.

"To this day, the strong in the resistance army... are probably few and far between. Rather than saying it's resistance, it's more like just running for their lives everywhere."

Brook didn't speak, and the resistance duelists on both sides also turned their heads and looked down elsewhere.

Obviously, Ray was telling the truth.

Rather than resistance, what they are doing now is just hiding. Let alone Zarc, there isn't even a duelist in their entire resistance army who can rival the high-level executives of the Academy.

As for defeating Zarc? Overthrowing the rule?

That is already a wish out of reach... it can almost be said to be a delusion.

In fact, many people are even doubting whether they still have the necessity to continue to exist and continue to struggle for survival like this.

Is it really necessary to continue fighting a war that has no hope at all?

"Absolutely not meaningless." Judai suddenly spoke.

Everyone around was attracted by his gaze.

"Your battle, your persistence, is absolutely not meaningless." Judai rarely showed a serious expression and said, "I know this must be very difficult, but at least you have preserved the fire of battle. At least even in such a world, there are still people willing to stand up and fight."

The few people in the resistance army moved slightly, some younger ones looked like they were about to cry, and some looked at Judai deeply, but in the end, no one answered.

You Xuan and the others followed them forward, walked into the dense forest, moved forward in this maze-like dense forest where the scenes looked almost the same all the way, and then a camp finally appeared in front of them.

That was the temporary camp where the resistance army was stationed here.

Ray looked at Brook: "Is he here?"

Brook naturally knew what she was referring to and nodded: "He heard you were nearby and came here specially. He is now..."

Brook paused, seemingly looking for appropriate wording, and finally said.

"... his movement is no longer very convenient."

Ray nodded without a word. The few walked into the camp under the gaze of the duelists all around.

Soon, after passing through almost the entire camp to the deepest tent, they saw that person.

A dark-skinned man, bald, with shocking scars on his bald forehead.

That strong body that should have been full of muscles was now like being squeezed dry, withered like skin and bones. Those eyes that were terminally ill looked like they had almost lost all their luster, only when he saw Ray enter the door and identified her, the luster finally seemed to recover a trace in those hollow eyes.

"Ray... Ray..."

The man tried his best to get up, but he was too weak. He lay on the sickbed, wearing a respirator, and the voice he barely made sounded muddy and weak.

"I'm here."

Ray walked forward and said softly.

"... Father."

Yugi and the others showed strange expressions. This person is Ray's father?

That is the scientist who stood up and tried to defeat Zarc to save the world in the background story Ray just mentioned?

It's just that Akaba Leo now is obviously dying.

Ray stood in front of Akaba Leo's bed and sighed long.

"If I had known this, why did I have to do it in the first place, Father?" Ray said softly, "We had already won, the world had already been saved.

Everyone could have a peaceful daily life, have free will, and have their own lives. Even Zarc gained a new life, four clones, four brand new personalities, a new life without destruction, rule, and desire..."

"Yes... I was wrong, Ray."

Akaba Leo said.

"I was just too lonely. I miss you, Ray. At that time, all I could think about was, even if I saved the world, but if it was a world without you, I... I don't know..."

He started to become a bit incoherent and couldn't continue. Thousands of words finally seemed to turn into a long sigh.

Ray sighed and didn't speak either.

Everything that is happening now is Akaba Leo's fault. At the beginning, Ray was originally considered successful. She perished together with Zarc, the world split into four, and Ray and Zarc were reincarnated into four clones.

If everything stopped here, it should have been a happy ending. The war stopped, the world was peaceful, and everyone could be happy and free. And to exchange for such a bright future, only Ray was sacrificed.

But who could she blame her father for?

At the beginning, Akaba Leo also exhausted everything to save the world. In fact, if there were no new cards developed by Akaba Leo, Ray wouldn't have been able to exchange one for one with Zarc.

But standing from Akaba Leo's position, he exhausted everything to save the whole world, but the only one he couldn't save was his own daughter. For him, of course, it was impossible to accept.

So he didn't care about anything. Even at the risk of the demon's resurrection, even if the whole world might be buried with him, he had to resurrect Ray, he had to find his daughter back.

For most people in this hellish dimension now, Akaba Leo is the culprit who released the demon. But for Ray, he is just a father who can do anything for her.

"I just missed you too much..." Akaba Leo said with difficulty.

"I know."

Ray held the hand he tried his best to reach out.

She knew that her father was running out of time. Saying anything else would be meaningless.

"Leave the rest to me." Ray said calmly, "Zarc, I will defeat him again."

Just at this time, a loud explosion came from outside the tent.

As if something shook violently. A dull boom, followed by an earthquake-like movement, and dust fell from the tent roof.

Brook's face changed, and he poked his head out of the tent and shouted: "What's the situation!?"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..." Shouts came from outside.

Followed by continuous explosions. Looking far away towards the entrance of the camp, it seemed that a background like the universe and starry sky flashed by.

Under that starry sky, there was also a monster wrapped in golden light that flashed by at the same time. It looked sacred, almost blending into the starry sky background behind it.

Although the distance was very far and it only flashed for a short moment, it could still be seen that the monster seemed to be surrounded by golden light circles.

That was an Xyz monster. ===== CHAPTER 1405 =====
