Chapter 1510

"No... impossible, I actually... I actually... lost?"

Kurosaki Shun knelt on the ground, his ten fingers clenched into fists, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

Why did it end up like this?

He had clearly made up his mind, had decided to protect his city and his companions at all costs. He had indeed given everything in this duel, breaking the opponent's formation to the extreme, and even went on to Rank-Up Summon the Ultimate Falcon...

Even so, he still lost.

Does it mean that even if he exhausted everything, he still couldn't compare to the elementary school student with the lobster-like hairstyle on the other side?

"That was a good duel, you're really strong."

Yuma smiled and walked up, then tilted his head in confusion.

"However, I still don't really understand the 'betting the city' thing. Why can't everyone just talk nicely?"

Shun suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a strange expression.

"Do you really not understand?" Shun asked.

If he had previously thought the opponent was deliberately playing dumb to make him let his guard down, then there was no need for that now. Because he had already lost, and he lost with conviction. His raw strength was inferior to the opponent's, there was nothing to say; if you can't beat them, you can't beat them.

It was clear that this unremarkable lobster-head was not the kind of duelist who needed to play dumb or rely on conspiracies and tricks. His strength was surprisingly strong, his dueling ability was clearly above his own, and he had previously been measuring the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

Yuma and Astral also separated again after the duel ended, returning to their original state.

"This is the rule of this dimension," Kurosaki Shun said, "Cities are absorbed into this dimension from their respective dimensions, and every city must have 'warriors' judged to have combat capabilities, which are duelists."

"The top duelists selected from each city bear the obligation to protect their own city and fight against duelists from other cities. In any duel, the defeated duelist will be eliminated. When all the selected warriors of a city are wiped out, that city is judged to have lost."

"Lost?" Yuma was surprised, "Then... what happens after being judged to have lost?"

Kurosaki Shun looked at him, his expression gloomy, and it took a long time before he said heavily: "Of course it's... destruction."

"That's too much!" Yuma was angry.

The other Duel Kings also felt indignant when they heard such an outrageous thing. Even if the personalities and experiences of the kings of past generations were different, they all loved dueling without exception. Hearing that dueling was actually used for such inhumane things, everyone felt it was absurd.

"Who did such a terrible thing?" Judai asked.

Kurosaki Shun shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows. We only know that the master of this survival dimension possesses god-like power; he can move so many cities across dimensions to this world, and can destroy any city in a single thought."

"Our respective cities and all our companions are hostages, no one can resist him... No, before resisting, no one even knows who the opponent is..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"But then again," Yusei said, "You said that the defeated duelist will be eliminated, but aren't you doing quite well right now?"

Shun frowned.

This was indeed the point where he started to feel strange.

Logically speaking, he lost the duel, and according to the rules of this survival dimension, he should have been finished. But the fact was, he was still here, unscathed.

It felt as if they had just played an insignificant entertainment match, just an ordinary duel.

But this was precisely the strangest part—where would there be any "ordinary duels" in this dimension?

Could it be that these people in front of him were really different?

While they were talking, Fujiki You Xuan suddenly reminded: "Ask questions later, something is coming."

At this time, the others seemed to have sensed it too and turned to look to the side.

I saw the ground on the side bulging, and the originally flat wasteland seemed to bulge out of thin air. Then the bulging sand and stone things began to condense into a humanoid form, with a towering stature, hands, feet, and a torso, looking like human facial features, but the skin was still earthy yellow.

Yuma: "Whoa, what is this thing?"

"This is the 'Monitor' of each city," Kurosaki Shun said in a deep voice.

Yusei: "Monitor?"

"Yes, they monitor battles near each city to observe whether there are cities that violate the rules or fight passively," Shun gritted his teeth and said, "Once a violation is judged, that city will be immediately erased."

The Monitor swept its gaze across the people in front of it and said coldly.

"This is a mistake... a loophole, it should not happen, it should not exist," it said, "You guys... you have no 'city'. This should not be, there are no warriors without a 'city' in the survival dimension..."

Fujiki You Xuan soon understood.

Because they were not duelists "invited" here. They were uninvited guests who came without an invitation, so naturally, they didn't bring a "city."

As for the mastermind behind this survival dimension, although he couldn't be sure yet, there was a high possibility that it was the Zorc they were chasing.

Of course, being able to do such a thing also meant that Zorc had grown to a quite terrifying state by now.

"You guys, actually using the power of dueling to do such things," Judai said, "Absolutely unforgivable!"

But the opponent was expressionless, seemingly indifferent to what he said, or perhaps it had no emotions at all.

"The loophole must be filled, the heresy must be cleared, this is the master's instruction."

The Monitor said faintly, raising its hand. I saw its arm begin to twist and deform, and the muscles under the skin seemed to change into the image of a Duel Disk.

"Let me clear you out myself."

"Interesting, then let me have a go."

Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward and unfolded his Duel Disk.

"Duel!"

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Shun, LP 4000】

Judai shouted from the sidelines: "Then good luck, Fujiki You Xuan... although I think you probably don't need it, hahaha."

Anyway, Fujiki You Xuan's move was definitely stable; the difference was just to see how the opponent performed before it ended. Judai had absolute confidence in Fujiki You Xuan, even more than he had in himself.

Oh right, and to see what deck Fujiki You Xuan was playing today.

Judai thought this was also quite fun. Watching Fujiki You Xuan duel was sometimes like opening a blind box; you could always see all kinds of interesting new tricks.

What would Fujiki You Xuan be playing today?

"Oh, it looks like the right to choose who goes first is in my hands."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the indicator light on the Duel Disk and smiled.

"It seems this dimension didn't give you any luck bonus. Then I won't be polite and take the first move. My turn!"
